SETTING A MARK FOR 113
Work will soon be started on the
numerous projects which are to con
tribute to Hood River s prosperity dur
ing the present year. Street paving
will be undertaken with as little delay
as possible. The last of the month
will also see work started on the
municipal water system. It the proper
financial support is received, construc
tion of the cannery and evaporating
plant will also be undertaken early in
the spring. The Pacific Power &
Light Company has opened offices here
'and intends to prosecute the work on
the power project as expeditiously as
possible.
All of these undertakings make
bright prospects for the commercial
welfare of Hood River during 1913.
There will be a substantial payroll
every mouih abd it will tend to re
lieve any financial stringency which
may exist. If such a payroll or steady
Income could be made permanent the
benefit would be proportionately great
er and a number of ways are being
suggested by which such a condition
might be brought about. Encourage
ment of the dairy industry is suggest
ed by some who have learned how
much cash is sent out of the county
every year for dairy products. The
amount is startling, especially so at
the prices which now prevail. They
would encourage the establishment of
a creamery, so that these products
might be produced sufficient at least
to supply local consumption.
Greater diversity of production by
local ranchers is also being suggested.
Attention is often called to the fact
that many of the orchardists do not
even keep a garden to supply their ev
eryday needs in the vegetable line.
Those interested in keeping money at
home say that if gardening were car
ried on more extensively the ranchers
would not only place themselves in a
more independent position but save
considerable of their current house
hold expenses during the year.
Thousands of dollars are sent out of
the valley each season for poultry
products and the boosters would also
foster this industry in the valley, if
not on a commercial basis at least suf
ficiently to supply the home consump
tion. Greater diversity of farm prod
ucts in the valley is now being looked
upon as a goal towards which all may
profitably work.
Not the least important among the
possibilities which the future has in
store is the establishment of manufac
turing industries adapted to this local
ity which would provide employment
the year round and create a payroll.
In securing and encouraging the in
dustries mentioned above no other
agency is so well adapted to perform
a valuable public service as is the
Commercial Club. It is this organiza
tion through which the necessary co
operation can be secured.
If the present year sees some pro.
gress made towards this mark It will
have been a prosperous and success
ful one from more than a temporary
standpoint
Speaking of the difficulties In the
way of Wilson's plans to obliterate
sectional lines, we have heard of some
of those sweet Dixie girls who are
such unreconstructed rebels that they
won't even wear a union suit.
At present' Mr. Wilson seems to be
what Diraell said Gladstone was
"a man without one redeeming vice. '
But the duties of his exalted office may
save him.
Milwaukee has done away with so
cialism. Socialism was not really
what made Milwaukee famous, any
how. Wllmer Sieg did the stunt.
Frank A. Munsey advises the Repub.
licans and Progressives to I jse. Col
onel Roosevelt and Gl fiord Plnchot are
advising the Progressives to refuse.
The rumor that hoop skirts are com
ing back next year may be only a
wicked plot to discredit the Democrat
ic administration.
Don. Jorge Wickersham has dropped
his suit against the coffee trust as he
has found that there were no grounds.
The folks who are Introducing bills
in the legislature apparently have no
Idea of the law of supply and demand.

S2.28 A CRATE IS
STRAWBERRY AVERAGE
At the annual meeting of the White
Salmon Fruit Growers' I'nlon the sec
retary's report showed that the I'nlon
had made sales to the amount or
$33,727,000 the past year; sales for the
preceding year were 118.000.00. The
gross cost of conducting the merchand
ise part of the business was $4309.72.

82; I'nion profit on handling the ber
ries, $342.92. Average price of berries
$2,284 a crate: for a number of crates
lower grade, $1.35.
At the afternoon session, a motion
was passed to limit credit to 30 days,
after which an account must be cover
ed by note at 10 per cent or by lien
on the crop.
The board of directors elects a pres
ident, secretary and manager. Who
will be manager Is not settled. George
Newton announced before election of
the new board that he would not be a
candidate for the position.
No report could be made on sale of
apples as the fruit is only partly sold.
During the past year the Union has
put up a large warehouse and apple
house at a cost. Including lot, of $4,000.
It also owns a warehouse on the track
near the station.
THREE SERMONS REVIEWED
(deferred from last week)
It Is a condition not a theory that
confronts us was the central thought
of two very able and appropriate ser
mons by clergymen of this city la9t
Lord's Day. In the forenoon Mr. Mac
Donald of the Unitarian church preach
ed a very forcible sermon on the re
ligion of capitalism, which was on edu
cational lines. He will follow it up
next Sunday with another sermon on
the religion of socialism.
The other sermon was by Rev. J. B.
Parsons at the Oak street U. B. church
on the menace and evils of factory
and sweatshop child labor.
Mr. Parsons brought his points out
clearly and clinched the facts with
official statistics and reports. While
this was being done Rev. Harris wa
demontratlng by Illustrated methods
the condition of industrial classes in
New York City and parts of Europe.
"The world does surely move" when
the clergymen have turned their atten
tion toward the condllon of God's poor
and begin to seek for and advise the
application of practical or applied
Christianity for the betterment of the
industrial classes instead of increasing
the overgrown fortunes of the already
very rich.

WHITE SALMON
(From the Enterprise)
Herbert Day has purchased a home
at Glendale, California, and intends to
make that his home part of the year.
B. C. Hamilton of Trout Lake left for
Toledo, Ohio, Wednesday, where he
will remain for a few weeks.
While driving through the timber
the other day, Mike Zimmerman saw
a coyote floundering in the deep snow.
He bad no gun, but procuring a club
killed it, taking the scalp for the boun
ty.
Billy Weir, formerly of this place
sent J. Mayhew a picture of one of
the largest sturgeon ever taken out of
the river. It was captured near Ca
mas, measured over 11 feet, weighed
644 pounds and sold for $80.
While on her way to school on the
heights the other day the little daugh
ter of George Beetsch heard a cry like
a cat an) turning saw reclining on u
log close by a cougar. She made an
outcry and turned and ran. The coug
ar did likewise making for the brush
in the opposite direction. Its tracks
have been seen in the neighborhood
and the ranchers are on the lookout
for it.
The bill creating Cook county but
of the western part of Klickitat coun
ty has passed the senate, 38 to 1. It
la now up to the house, and the over
whelming sentiment in the senate fav
oring the bill should have a strong In
fluence on the house. Of course Mr.
Brooks may endeavor to strongarm It
in committee and the outcome is
awaited with interest. The bill as
passed made no change In the original
boundary line between ranges 13 and
14.
LOOK HERE FOR CAKE MAKER
Having traveled from Hot Springs,
S. J., to Hood River, Mr. and Mrs.
Frank James were disappointed yes
terday when they failed to locate In
this city Thomas Williams, who for a
number of years was a local baker.
Williams furnished the wedding break,
fast for Mr. and Mrs. James nearly a
quarter of a century ago. On their
tour of the West Mr. nd Mrs. James
wanted to visit their former friend.
On learning that he had moved to
Eugene three years ago, they went to
that city. Portland Telegram.

WILL TAP CLEAR
ANDJJJST CREEKS
Having prevented further construc
tion at this time of the road through
the Bull Run reserve, Portland is now
contemplating an extension of its wa
ter system by constructing auxiliary
pipe lines to the Clear and Lost
Creeks to connect with 'the Bull Run
conduits 20 miles distant. If this is
done it will probably have the effect of
rendering less likely the construction
of this scenic road which would give
the Upper Hood River Valley an out
let Portlandward.
According to Chief Engineer Clatke
of the Portland Water Department this
additional supply would give Portland
108,500,000 gallons of water a day.
While these streams are in the Bull
Run reserve, they do not drain into
the Bull Run River, from which the
city receives its supply of water. The
water readily can be converted through
a conduit into the present Bull Run
conduits at no enormous expense.
The engineer urges that there be ab
solute exclusion of everything from
the reserve which would In any way
tend to jeopardize the water in the
Bull Run. In this regard he says:
"Permanent seclusions of all por
tions of the reserve is an Important
necessity if the purity of our water Is
to be maintained at Its present high
standard, which for 20 years has been
one of Portland's most valuable as
sets. The reputation of the city in
this respect should be mainained at
all cost. No other city in the land is
so highly favored as Portland in being
able to secure its water supply from
an entirely uninhabited and forest-clad
region."

Here's Something That Is Coming
Our Way
In engaging the justly famous Schu
bert Company of Chicago to give one
of their delightful entertainments here
the Elks can congratulate themselves
upon securing an additional and entire

excellence. For it so happens that
Miss Frances Rhinehart, the eminent
harp soloist, Is making the concert
tour of the United States in company
with the Schuberts and will positively
be heard here with them on February
11 at Hellbronner Hall. Keep this In
mind for, although she is not adver
tised on the Schubert's program or
printing, she will be here with them
and add two great solos to their fine
program. It our good luck that she is
visiting her musical friends at the
time they happen to appear in Hood
River, Oregon. Tickets on sale at

The two friends were exchanging
confidences. "Whatever induced you
to accept Toady Johnson?" said Ann
ette. "Oh why well," said Mabel,
"you see Toady put his arm around
my waist, and to tell the truth, I
yielded under pressure.

NEW YORKER URGES
APPLEJUBLICITY
Newspaper advertising is regarded,
by Charles A. Muehlbronner. an apple
distributor of New York, as a prime
necessity in the marketing of apples.
At the recent meeting in Cincinnati
of the National League of Commission
Merchants, he expressed his views on
the subject in part as follows:
"The great problem that confronts
the producer in the Northwest, as
well as the Middle West and the Atlan
tic seaboard, is how to get the im
mense production into distribution and
consumption. In the days of Pharoah,
it is said of Joseph, that in the years
of plenty he stored up the food for the
seven years of famine and brought all
countries to his warehouse, lie sup
plied those that were In need, and was
considered a wise and discreet man.
Those ancient days and methods ara
no more. This country cannot have a
famine such as came every seven
years in those days, but it will require
wisdom, discretion and modern meth
ods to put into consumption yearly
the vast crops that will come forward
increasing from year to year.
"It is a well known fact that when
markets are glutted there is practi
cally no sale, and this applies to any
food commodity, but there is a sound,
sane, convincing way when properly
worked out and carefully considered
by which a demand can be created.
Judicious advertising, convincing read
ing that will attract the consumers'
eye, and make interesting reading mat
ter, telling him how abundant the
crops are, how they can be bought at
low figures, how healthful and nour
ishing the fruit is. You will Bay that
this increases your expense in run
ning your business, which is true, but
how would the bargain counter ever
hold any attraction if It were not for
the special ads in the daily papers, and
you do not imagine either the bargain
counter sales are made at a loss, and
neither would fruit bargain sale.
"Retail shopkeepers are averse to
making special fruit line sales, but
they must be brought to realize that it
Is just as profitable to specialize fruit
sales as to make a special of anything
else. Quick sales and small profits
should be the slogan of every fruit
merchant, be he wholesaler or retailer.
The public should also be educated to
know what apples are seasonable and
not to be persuaded to buy winter ap
ples in September, October or Novem
ber." Would Make a Dandy Grocer
"I am willing said the candidate,
after he had hit the table a terrible
blow with his fist, "to trust the peo
ple." "Gee," yelled a litle man In the aud.
lence, "I wish you'd open a grocery."
Grangers are happy. Their bill has
passed the House.
