THE INAUGURATION Yesterday saw the inauguration ot Woodrow Wilson as President of the United States. President Taft Is now a private citizen. The event took place quietly and the reins of govern ment were passed over to President Wilson unaccompanied by any of the trim forbodinxs which werj so fre quently heard at the time of the cam paign. Although there is no denying that the change Is a radical one and fraught with great possibilities, it is a fact that the business conditions of the country have not registered the disturbance which might have been ex pected. This fact is largely due to the eminently sane, and conservative attitude which President Wilson as sumed following his election and pre vious to his inauguration. He has ob served a silence which has inspired confidence in his wisdom and discre tion and has given his enemies no opportunity to draw alarming deduc tions. It is to be presumed that the pledges embodied in the Democratic platform will be his guide, but he has made no announcement that any radical measures calculated to disturb the business or economic conditions of the country are contemplated. President Taft retires with honor from the highest office of the land and he will continue to be highly re spected by his countrymen on account of the able and dignified manner in which he has administered that office. If he has erred It has been on the side of conservatism, but conditions have been maintained upon a firm and substantial basis and President Wilson takes office with the support of a unit ed people behind him. Factional and party differences now are forgotten and the country rests easy in the hope of continued prosperity. T H ELOST LAKE ROAD Portland is making every effort to extend the Bull Run Reserve to the shores of Lost Lake, thereby shutting off for all time communication between the Upper Hood River Valley and Port land except by the long route south of Mu Hood. A protest was made by Hood River residents some time ago and a conference was held between Superintendent Dodge of the Portland Water Board, City Attorney Grant of Portland and local citizens. As a let ter written by Superintendent Dodge and reprinted in another column shows, however, it is not their inten tion to make any concessions to Hood River county but rather they would render It forever Impossible to estab lish any means of communication over the range north of the mountains, It is to be expected that Portland would take every possible precaution to protect her water supply. In this instance, however, it is the opinion here that she is losing sight of import ant facts which should enter into consideration. One is that the two townships which Hood River would have reserved do not lie on Portland's but on Hood River's watershed. It is also a matter of common knowledge here that many persons cross the re serve every year with little danger of being baited. As has been pointed out, if this traffic could be confined to a single highway the latter could be policed and the proper sanitary regu lations maintained. Portland also de Clares that passengers through the re serve would Increase the Ore danger and yet the section Is now almost inaccessible on account of lack of a proper road. Maintenance of an im proved road would greatly diminish the fire danger, Hood River residents maintain by giving fire fighters ready access. While Hood River is fully alive to the importance of preserving Port' land's water supply from all possible pollution, local citizens cannot but re alize the loss It would be to forfeit all hope of securing this important high way and every effort is being made to convince the Forestry Department and Oregon's congressmen at Wash lngton of the reasonableness of Hood River's request. wards the forming of consumers' un ions or purchasing associations. In Europe, especially in Germany, such organizations of consumers have reach ed a position of great economic Im portance and from being purely local in their nature have developed along more general lines, there now being In Germany one central union with more than 2,00 branches or local un ions. In that country it has proved to fill an Important economic need. THE PATH OF SUCCESS A New York minister wrote to seven prominent men a series of questions as to their rules for success In life. Among the secrets of success men tioned were honesty, loyalty, absorp tion in one's work, dependability, in' vention, earnestness, enthusiasm, ten acity of purpose, and hard work. As to whether It is hard work or worry that breaks men down all agreed that hard work would not en danger anyone's physical or mental health, and two said that hard work is a tonic. Among the causes of failure were mentioned intemperance, immorality, untruthfulness, cigarette smoking. making a drudge of oneself and get ting into debt. A majority agreed that a college education is not necessary to success, though it might help the right sort of man. If not the right sort it might prove a detriment. All agreed that religion is an asset, but one added that it must be "real and not lip cant or hypocrisy." " These men have tried out their mottoes in actual life and every one succeeded, some of thorn in an emi nent degree. Timber prices are reported to be steadily advancing and the industry is said to be in better condition than in several months. Prospects for a prosperous season for this one of Hood River's most important indus tries are now bright.

SEES FEDERATION COMING WHAT THE UNION IS DOING With a view to Increasing its aer vice to patrons, the local Apple Grow era' Union has recently increased Its facilities for supplying ranchers with such goods as hay, grain, fruit boxes, spraying machine, spray materials and the like. It is the opinion of the director of the Union that this form an important part of the duties of such an organization and hereaf ter they will not only undertake to dispose of the rancher' product on the co-operative basis but will also supply blm with hi material In the am manner.

Federation is bound to come as the laity more and more realize that denominationalism.in small towns especially, is costly, es tranges Christians, belittles preach ers and robs the missionary box. Do you think that if Christ were to re appear he would go to one particular denomination and say, "Ye can come unto me through this church only?" White Salmon Enterprise. PLAN A TRAMWAY TO WHITE SALMON White Salmon is planning to con struct a tramway from the station up the steep bluff to the town. At a re cent meeting of the Commercial Club of that place, Frank Walsh, engineer for the Northwestern Electric Co., sug gested the feasibility of the project and it was the opinion of the club that it would greatly increase the accessi bility of the town. The club has now appointed a committee to make a pre liminary survey and collect data. The bluff is about 600 feet high, al most perpendicular part of the way down, and is now scaled by means of a stairway of 600 steps. HOW ABOUT THIS NEW WOMAN? This is the age of women. We find all the vocations, professions and trade of life opening their door to admit the enterprising woman. Some are going into their own and some are going into other people' business. In our admiration for the new woman there is danger of forgetting the wife and mother and woman' true sphere as a homemaker. When in need of printing remember the New.
