THE SHELL ROCK CONVICTS Although Governor West's pol icy of employing honor men on public projects has subjected him to much adverse criticism by newspapers which for political reasons, are prejudiced against the state's executive, the system has worked admirably at Shell Rock, as reported in another col umn. It would be hard to express how much it must mean to the honor men, who. instead of be ing confined within the dreary walls of the penitentiary', are sent out, practically upon their own recognizance, to engage in a splendid public work and with headquarters in a camp beauti fully located amid inspiring scen ery, where they are removed from the sinister influence' of the prison and from the stigma which attaches to one confined within its walls. The men engaged on the road work are those who do not de serve to be forced into constant association with men who are criminals by instinct or training. When placed upon an undertak ing such as that at Shell Pwock the I tendency is to elevate rather than debase them and an oppor tunity is afforded them to regain the self respect which they may have lost through breach of the law. either from ignorance or temporary weakness. Hood River has especial reason for feeling grateful to Governor West for establishing the convict camp at Shell Rock and breaking the barrier between this city and Portland, thereby opening up a great scenic boulevard along the Columbia. Hardly less import ant than the construction of the road, however, may be the effect which the Governor's experiment may have upon the future prison policy of the state. ADVERTISING OUR APPLES Believing that Hood River ap ples can be made still more fam ous through judicious advertis ing in local papers published in cities to which carload lots of the local fruit are shipped, the Com mercial Club asks local orchard ists to co-operate to the extent of donating a few boxes of apples apiece as a contribution to this advertising fund. When Hood River apples are to be placed on any particular markets advertise ments appearing simultaneously would proclaim thesuperiormerits of these apples and create u de mand for them. Wenatchee is branding her ap ples this year under the Buster Brown label and is advertising them extensively. Yakima will spend several thousand dollars for advertising. Hood River al ready has established an excel lent and almost world-wide repu tation. To strengthen and ex tend that reputation is the pur pose of the Commercial Club and trial of the proposition, for this year at least, will be made pos sible if orchardists who believe in the value of advertising will co-operate with the clubby signi fying their willingness to make the necessary contributions of apples. The plan is to sell the apples and use the receipts in the advertising campaign. VICIOUS SHIPPING PRACTICES In another column the Union serves notice that its printed wrapjers must not be used ex cept on fruit of the highest grade and only on such as has been in Rpected and shipped by the Union. This is made necessary by the viciousjpractices of some nippers who are already begin ning to send out inferior fruit wrapped in the Union's paper. This year for the first time all shipping associations have com- bined in an effort to maintain a uniform standard of fruit for the Hood River valley. It is the unanimous opinion that these rules must be strictly enforced and it is the intention to do so. Shippers who undertake to vio- late the rules are laying them J selves open to a serious charge and one which will place tnem in an exceedingly embarrassing position. They are given to un derstand that co-operative self protection is now in effect in Hood River county and that those who deliberately violate the rules will be peremptorily brought to book. "Let 'er buck" is the slogan of The Round-Up, the annual fall festival that is held at Pen dleton. Starting in an humble way several years ago as a local carnival, the celebration has steadily grown in importance. Now it is attracting visitors from all parts of the Northwest. The Round-Up promoters are ambi tious to make it even more wide ly known. It's a spectacle of thrills and the pageantry includes cowboys, cowgirls, Indians, buck ing horses, stage coach races and all the picturesque features of the frontier life of the old West. It is worth while to occasional ly take stock of the troubles which we have expected and worried about, but which never arrived. Thev are many times more numerous than real troubles and bring almost as much sor row. That being the case it is plain that the only rational thing to do is to wait until trouble ar rives before permitting it to dis turb us. A physician says he advises every cigarette victim to have a photograph taken every year and put side by side in his room where he can see the radical de terioration of himself from year to year. If this does not startle him and bring him to his senses no preaching. will ever do it, for the picture will be a sermon more eloquent than ever came from any pulpit. An Alabama girl has written to Congress asking to have her name changed. We hope all of those handsome bachelor states men will not speak at once.
