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.

I Notice to this effivt lias Ihvii le

"That hereafter postotlices of the

mail matter promptly.
"The department desires to reduce
Sunday work to a minimum, so that
as many of the employes as possible

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.
