Is the hisr hr.sines of Hooi:
Kiver Val'ev. a:ul everything
should U ordered to take a si:
i n anil let the special go
straight through.
The scenery is sublimely jrranc
and its conteiniilation carries the
mind and imagination intoesthet
it- fields where the pinions of
thought are dipped into the em
erald waters of nature's perfec
tion that reflects the lieneticence
of the divine: it is a beautifu
thing to write about and talk
about during the w inter. How
es er, just now this season of the
year, give the apple "special"
clear track and let us consider a
few salient facts.
First -In the year 1910 when
we had the big crop the apple
growers of Hood River valley
lost more than $100,000 because
the shippers did not make better
estimates early in the season of
the quantity of apples they ha
to place on the market for the
grow ers of the valley later on.
Second -Hood River apple
growers as a whole are absolute
ly dependent upon the local ship
pers for the marketing of the
crop in such a manner as will in
sure the highest possible returns
and maintain the strongest pos
sible market. Therefore, give
them all the information you
have about your crop the minute
you reach your conclusions.
Ihird liood Kiver apples are
a special product and must be
marketed in a special manner,
not on the open market at forced
sale or auction as is commonly
done with apples from other dis
tricts.
Fourth Wide awake shippers
arrange their markets as early
as possible in order to secure the
benefit of the best trade but can
not do this unless they have a
good idea of the quantity of each
variety they will have to handle,
Growers get your preliminary
estimates in the hands oi your
shippers as quickly as possible.
The Pavin? Question
Is still a live issue with the cit
izens of Hood River. 'The News
receives all the exchanges of the
live towns and cities in the state
and northwest and the same
question that confronts the citi
zens of Hood River is being agi
tated by many of the cities now
contemplating paving their
streets.
There is no doubt a desire up
on the part of many citizens to
have the streets paved with oil
bound macadam while a large
per cent of the property holders
favor some other more substan
tial class of paving.
We fail to find from our ex
changes where other cities are
very enthusiastic over the oil
bound macadam. A course gravel
bithulitic seems to be favored by
many of the municipalities con
templating paving.
In any event the matter should
be thoroughly investigated be
fore any contracts are signed up.
In the case of H-xh River the
horse must Ik.' considered as the
roads are sU-ep. and sanitation
must not be overlooked.
Speeding
That ihxwJ Riser county has
been vigilant in its effort to put
an end to speeding upon the
county roads is very apparent in
the fact that a large number of
auto drivers have been appre
hended by the officers who have
had in charge this work for the
county.
No doubt some of those arrest
ed for the violation of the speed
law have been aggravated cases.
RejMirts come to this office that
a rate of '.'.2 miles per hour was
in effect w hile one of the drivers'
u.is i assing a team and again
that a speed of nearly -10 miles
per hour was reached by this
same driver on another occasion,
Of course, this is sheer reckless- shall be muzzled and as a result
ness and without rule or reason. , some of the citizens have advo
Again. it is very probable that! rated the placing of the muzzle
the larger number of those ar-1 around the body w hile others ad-
rested are not reckless drivers,
but that the invitation of a good
stretch of macadam road with a
clear coast presented such an en
chanting opportunity to hurry
home that the "chug wagon"
was given a few extra drops of
Rockefeller's buzz fluid that
caused the inate machine to clip
off a few extra miles.
For the driver who unthought
edly, perhaps, technically violat
ed the state law in the operation
of his machine there is every
consideration but. for the reck
less manipulator the public has
no sympathy.
Atchiaon Takes Stand
If candidates, who are aspiring
for public office, think that they
can successfully run the gaunt
let and not let the voters of the
state know with which party
they are affiliated they will fool
themsflves most gloriously.
This is a year of big issues and
mighty consequences, politically.
The entire program of commer
cial and industrial interests of
this country that have to do w ith
the economics of the people,
which in the last analysis means
the manner of securing and the
amounts to be secured of "bread
and butter" is up for considera
tion and revision at the hands of
the several political parties de
siring to be placed in power.
Clyde B. Atchison, present
member of the State Railroad
Commission, was recently brought
face to face with the question of
where he stood, politically, and
he met the issue honestly and
squarely in announcing that he
would be found loyal to the reg
ular Republican party .and prin
ciples. This has gained for him
the respect and confidence of the
voters.
The other candidates for state,
district and national offices had
just as well fall into line and let
the people know whether they
are expecting to affiliate w ith the
Republican, Democratic, Social
istic, Independent or Bull Moose
parties.
In fact it would look better to
get in the game early with an
unambiguous announcement.
Hood River county would like
to hear from Selling and Sinnott.
A Fruit Cannery
Could be most successfully op
erated in the Hood River vallev
because of the unlimited amount
of raw material at hand. Hood
River is one of the largest green
fruit markets in the state.
A cannery would return thous
ands of dollars annually to the
fruit growers tf the valley in ex
change for the berries, vege
tables and apples that are now
w asted each year.
Many of the other sections of
the state less favored than Hood
iiver have been busy erecting
canneries to save the products of
vine and branch.
We reprint herew ith the action
of the Forest Grove Fruit Grow
ers association last week that is
id line with our contention:
"The ijln-ctnr nf Hih I'orcBt inv?

The city of Portland has pass
I an ordinance providing for
the muzzling of dogs and cats
that run at large within the city
i limits. However, it appears that
the ordinance does not state how
or w here the cats and canines
vocate the tying of the wire
cage to the tail. Wonder if they
w ont pass an ordinance to dehorn
the bull moosers.
The city engineer at The Dalles
estimated that the new proposed
sew er system for that city would
cost $90,000 and accordingly the
city advertised a bond issue for
this amount. However, a Fort
land firm offers to do the work
for $50,000. The council will
now backtrack and advertise for
the sale of a smaller bond issue,
Good business, alright, even if it
is a big bobble.
"The Guardians of the Colum
bia." companion volume to "The
Mountain That Was God," writ
ten and illustrated by John H.
Williams, is a masterpiece in its
illustrations and mo t interesting
ly written. The work in this
volume is of the highest grade
and to ponder its pages is to in
spire the soul. This book has
been placed on sale at the local
bookstores.
