Local Crop Estimate The figures printed on another page, as compiled by Mr. David son, w ill be of vital interest to oeal orchardists as giving some idea, not only of tne crop which may be expected this year, but also of the production for which Hood River may look during the next few years. It is the more valuable for the reason that it is not based, as are many estimates. upon pvre conjecture, but upon actual records for the past five years. The estimates give a rich promise for the future. They also serve a useiul purpose in indicating some of the big prob lems with which the local or chardists must cope in handling such a gigantic production of fruit. The present season, with the addition of storage facilities for nearly half a million boxes, will see a great step taken in the solution of this problem. The matter of finding adequate mar kets and of working out the best possible distributing system will take time and concerted ac tion, but with the strong support which the Union is receiving and the assistance which will be given by the independent ship ping and storage organizations, there is little doubt but what a satisfactory solution of this prob lem will be evolved. A Six Year Term There is a movement in Con gress to make the presidential term six years and limit any person holding the office to one term. This movement is said to be meeting with considerable approval from members of both parties. People are getting tired of this constant political fight ing for office and the present campaign has shown how undig nified it may become when a President is compelled to take off his coat and get into the po litical arena in his own behalf. If the term of office were ex tended and every man limited to a single term, such a situation would be impossible. Then, too, there is an upset condition of business conditions every four years under the present arrange ment which is very disturbing. In limiting the office to one term it would also relieve the federal office holders from re maining loyal to one who in their judgment might be unfit for the place. Under the present sys tem when they are serving un der a man they naturally do not care to lift up their voice in dis approval. Of course if an incompetent man were elected to the office it might prove unfortunate, but such a contingency would not be likely. There are a number of reasons which make the six-year-term idea worthy of serious considera tion. As Others See Us It is sometimes a good plan to take into consideration what others may think of us. The country is now passing through, if not the most important, at least the most lively and inter esting presidential campaign we have ever witnessed. To say the least, the performance is never dull when Theodore Roose velt is on the stage. A new and somewhat unusual element has recently come into the situation. Mr. Bryan has decided in the last few days that it is necessary for him to take part, and has discovered that things are shaj Ing themselves in theJRepublican party with Thcxiore Roosevelt as the probable nominee, and that the Democrats to win at the election must In? led by no other than Mr. Bryan himself. In this connection it s rather interest lnp to see how r.urope views the political situation in this country. A short comment in a recent number of the Times, one of the leading daily papers of Paris, is to the elfect that Amer ican people would have cause to be pitied if at the fall election they should be obliged to choose between two candidates, both of whom hold such extreme views and whose programs contain so much that would cause unrest as do those of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Bryan. Going Ahead! A glance at the events of the week as chronicled on the first page of the News this week is sufficient to show the trend of events in Hood River valley. A million-box apple crop in pros pect, work started on the road to Portland, and a fifteen-mile extension of the Mt. Hood Rail road into undeveloped country contemplated. It is enough to make anybody sit up and take notice, for things are going ahead and development of the wonder ful resources of this favored sec tion is continuing despite presi dential fights, supposedly hard times and a general lethargy in business conditions throughout the country. If fairly good prices are se cured for the apple crop it will bring a splendid revenue into the county. The Columbia River road, when it is completed, will put Hood River on the main ar tery of automobile travel be tween the East and the West and between Portland and the south as well. Extension of the Mt. Hood Railroad as projected will open thousands of acres of untouched timber and agri cultural land, all of which will be tributary to this city and valley. Housecleaning Time This is the season of the year when the industrious housewife ties an apron around her head. grabs a tack-puller and yanks the shape out of the sitting room carpet. She hangeth it over a clothes line and whaleth all the stripes out of it, annihilating mi crobes and scattering real estate all over the township. She shoveth all the furniture onto the front porch and then growls at the weather man because spring showers are likely to come sneak ing around the corner of the house. She climbeth to the top of the step ladder to fix a curtain and the ladder upsets and great is the fall thereof. The old man eateth cold grub and weak coffee on the kitchen table and goeth to bed with a cross woman and carpet tacks between his toes. Such are the ways of the world, and lots of it in house-cleaning time. Another thing to be thankful lor. lhe recent heavy rains have meant thousands of dollars to local ranchers, all of whose crops have reaped a splendid benefit from the copious rainfall Commencement orators who have saved the country must Le in fear and trembling that the election this Fall will undo it all again. Colonel Roosevelt defines a progressive as a "man who works with his face toward the light," and a facetious exchange moves to omit the last three words of the definition.

Mile of orchard drifted white with hloom n though the Know field of Mount Hood had Uen lifted from peak to valley, warmed with the breath of eprlnj; and tinted with the eunrlne, I the eaeon' earliest view. A green valley of green tree, nhel tered by mountain, nhadlng the rushing river, wnlt the beauty seeker now. A little later the day of sunshine will give their gold to the Yellow Newtown and night of frost will sting the color Into the ruddy cheek of the Spltzenburgs, the furrowed t: round beneath the tree will be creased with wagon wheel and lad der of the picker will pre against the branches. This give yet auother view. Not until the writer made a trip to Hood Klver recently did he learn that the body and breath of Mount Hood gave flavor, substance and color to the apple of the famous valley. The Iron of the soil, It chemical coLstltuency and volcanic fertility, are all from the mountain of personality, as I the breeze that blow down the canyon at night, bringing the frost from the never melting snow which the alchemy of nature transmute Into the color of the fruit. Mount Defiance border the west ern horizon; the break of the central Oregon table lands Is on the east, and north I Mount Adam to be seen from the high point of Hood Klver valley as from no other locality. The most Intensive soil cultivation of the west, the most successful hor ticulture, and some of the most rug gedly grand mountain, valley and river scenery are all provided and the superlative of the completest vo cabulary are unequal to proper tie- crlptlon.
