EXPANSION OF TRADE Trade is expanding with a vig or that bespeaks prosperity be yond question. This is particu larly noteworthy in lumber, wool. iron and steel, leather, shoes and dry poods. Supplies are being laid in for fall and winter, but expansion does not stop with that. The steel trade and the lumber trade both tell of increas ed construction work. Much of the improvement is attributable to fine crops, the es timated value of which for the whole country is $9,000,000,000. Moving such a crop is bound to put lots of money in circulation, is bound to result in much buying as well as selling. Directly and indirectly we all benefit. Already the fruit and lumber interests fear a serious car short age. While this is to be regret ted, it tells of the improvement in business, and if the shippers and railroads co-operate sympa thetically they should be able to minimize the losses from that cause. Some weeks ago there was complaint in commercial circles of a shortage of orders. Now the problem is one of supplying the demand. Orders are large and so desirable is quick delivery that premiums are offered in some lines for promptness. At the same time, there is found a stronger demand for la bor. It is hard to find enough workingmen in some lines of in dustry. Locally as well as elsewhere the improved conditions are not ed. Everybody is busy caring for the big crop of apples and other fruits. Early varieties are now being harvested and the shipping associations are busy. Satisfactory prices are being re alized and it is believed that the same will be true when the later apples are marketed. If a heated political campaign is a hindrance to business, the forces for prosperity are so strong this year that the effect of the campaign is barely notice able. We have so much politics nowadays that the country has probably made up its mind to re fuse to be frightened. THE NEW CHURCH Dedication of the splendid new Congregational church is a wel come reminder that, despite the statement so frequently heard in these days that the church is los ing its grip, communities and congregations exist whose loyal ty to the church makes no sacri fice too great Erection of this house of worship in Hood River is a tribute not only to the zeal of the pastor, but also to the concerted and effectual efforts of the congregation and the com munity as well, a community which has given so generously and so willingly. It was a task which required faith and cour age to undertake and one there fore whose successful accomp lishment is a notable achieve ment In these days of strife between the great political parties, men often forget that after all we are just a band of brothers here on earth: traveling from the cradle to the grave. We live side by Bide and after the tmoke of battle has cleared away, we will still be friends and neigh bors. Let the bitter things go unsaid. Life is short at best and we get out of it a full measure of sorrow. It is therefore well that all should live as one big good-natured family. The Philadelphia policeman, who was shot while swatting a fly, was wounded in a noble j cause. Although many have express ed the opinion that Governor West "bit off more than he can chew" when he undertook to clean up Portland, the Governor has helped to show up conditions which the decent people of that city should combine to eradicate. Oregon has a governor whose courage compels adrogation. Local people returning from the ocean beaches, to which they went earlier in the season to es cape the hot weather, are inclin ed to return to the coast this time to get warm. We may have big skirts, big sleeves and big hats, but the women will never, no never, con sent to big shoes. ENEMY OF SINGLE TAX COMING HERE I'.l.'izUitf the wny IcT ('luirlt'x U. Shtfldf.

"Thlx Hcheme i a device that orig inated many yearn ago lu the mind of Henrv George who declared that his Intention wan to ho tax land that it would be ad contir-cated to I lie state." Mr. Alexander went on to say that the ultimate end of Single Tax, ami Graduated Single Tax, as the meas ure is known In Oregon, was hound to Ik? confiscation of the land. It would take from the farmer his farm, from the lot-owner his lot. and from the home owner his home by Imposing a severe and heavy form of taxation known as Single Tax. This tax would be so heavy liecause all Improvements of every kind from the millionaire with his l." story building In Portland, down the line, would escape taxation.

GOOD MARKET FOR THE EARLY FRUITS For about two weeks the frnit s'llpping season has been well under way. Pea I s and early apples have been marketed under favorable con ditions. Pears. Including mostly Martlet ts and some Flemish Beauties, have been of exceptionally good quality, liartlctts have been shipped in carload lots by both the I'nloti and the Davidson Fruit Company. The market has been better than last year and It Is believed that the returns will be larger. On the whole, the chances nre that good, average returns will be received for this crop. I'p to this week the Davidson Fruit Colnpany had shipped five car loads of pears. Karly Grnvensteins have been packed during the past week. They have been of good quality and ure bringing the usual price. Some have been picked too early, but on the whole they nre fully up to Hood River's standard. WOULD PUT MT. HOOD ON STAMPS If Portland boosters have their way a picture of Mt. Hood, Port land's pride and otic of Htiod River's, many scenic attractions, will be sub stituted on postage sta lips for the portraits of the Illustrious dead he roes and patriots. The plan to have views of Ameri can scenery substituted for the pres ent designs on the stamps has gained Consld-rable favor and all Oregonlans would be pleased to see u view of the state's highest peak embossed on one Issue of the stamps. Portland boosters for the scheme were anxious to Interview Louis W. Hill, chairman of the Great Northern board of directors, when he passed through Portland the last of t he week, but his stay was so brief that they were unable to accomplish their purpose.
