TOMORROW'S ELECTION
Hood River ia to vote tomorrow on
the library propositin. CUiieni may
vote in favor of the library by casting
their ballot In favor of the charter
amendment. As ha been stated fre
quently, this amendment would give
the council power to contract an in
debtedness not to exceed $7,000 for
library purposes. A subsequent elec
tion would then have to be held to
vote bonds or otherwise provide for
raising the money.
Those who have been working In be
half of the library have this week
carried on a campaign, not for votes,
but a campaign of education. They
are convinced that if the people fully
understand the proposition they will
vote in favor of it and the News be
lieves that they will. No community
which claims to be progressive can
afford to be without a well equipped
public library and park.
Every indication is that the propo
sition will carry almost unanimously.
It was to have been expected that a
few would oppose it and such has
been the case. Their only argument
against it, however, is on the score
of expense. It must be admitted by
all, however, that this is small in com
parison to the benefits to be expected.
When distributed pro rata it is almost
negligible. Certainly it is not suffi
cient to create any material opposition
and Hood River would not be true to
her reputation as a progressive, in
tellectual and up-to-date community
if her citizens failed to pass favorably
upon the proposition to be submitted
at tomorrow's election.
THE UNION DIRECTORS
Probably no set of Union directors
were ever confronted with more diffi
cult and perplexing problems than
those elected to that office a year ago.
What those conditions were everybody
will remember.
The board of directors proved them
selves equal to the emergency. They
worked faithfully and untiringly to
conserve the interests of the stock
h lders. They met and solved the
problems with both wisdom and dis
cretion. Their efforts were crowned
with success. The growers of the val
ley were brought to a realization of
the fact that in loyalty to the Union
lay their best hopes. As a consequence
the directors have been able to
achieve much and the Union today is
stronger than many thought possible
a year ago. The board of directors
was as follows: Dr. Stanton Allen, L.
E. Clark, W. B. Dickinson, C. W. Hook
er, F G. Hutchinson, L. E. Ireland, Al
bert Sutton. John H. Mohr and O. L.
Walter.
In perhaps no other way did the
directors perform a greater service
than in securing Mr. Sieg as manager.
His supreme qualifications for this dif
ficult office are acknowledged. Mr.
Sieg has "made good" in every sense
of the words. From the beginning he
gained the respect and inspired the
confidence of the stockholders. His
strong personality, keen business in
sight and exceptional executive abil
ity have brought the Union through
a most trying year. The returns to
date quoted Saturday show that Hood
River fared better in this respect than
nrobably any other district of the
Northwest
At the same time Mr. Sieg and the
directors have been building for the
future and it was in a large measure
through their efforts that plans for
the new and larger organization were
evolved.
It is hardly necessary to say that
the work of the directors and of Mr.
Sieg has been thoroughly appreciated
by the stockholders. They have ac
comDllshed much and have laid the
foundation for what everyone both
hopes and trusts may be a better and
brighter future, not alone for the
stockholders of the Union, but for the
united growers of the valley.
THE OPPOSITION
There is no reason to doubt that
those who opposed the leasing of the
Union to the porposed central snip
ing association were perfectly sincere.
They saw objections which they be
lieved were valid and under the cir
cumstances were of course Justified in
voicing the opposition. A certain
amount of opposition is not only antic
ipated but is oftentimes valuable in
pointing out faults or weaknesses
w hich may be remedied.
At the meeting Saturday the opposi
tion was given a full hearing. It is
to be presumed that those present vot
ed after carefully weighing both sides.
Th result was a vote of eight to one
in favor of the proposition.
It remaina to be seen what the
attitude of the opposition will now be
towards the new organization. As the
News remarked last week they may
either continue to use their influence
against it or they may abide by the
decision rendered and give the propo
sition a fair trial upon its merits. If
the objections which they voiced ma
terialize during the coming year they
will no doubt find the growers ready
and willing to make the necessary
amendments or changes at the meet
ing a year hence. In the meantime it
is fair to expect that the opposition
wll lend a hand, help rather than hin
der, give the organization a fair trial
and reserve further opposition until
the next annual meeting of the Union
A CHEAP TAX COLLECTOR
Before another season Hood River
county may be looking for a man who
will be willing to collect all the taxes
and keep the complicated books of
that office besides acting as county
treasurer, all for the sum of $100
a year.
This is not probable, but it is one
of the possibilities arising with the
circulation of a petition invoking the
referendum on the local county sal
ary bill. This bill, wnicu was passed
by the recent legislature, raises the
alaries of local officials to an equality
with those of other counties, although
still beneath those of the Governor's
proposed state-wide measure.
On the first of next year .foe sheriff's
duties as tax collector will devolve
upon the treasurer. This work at
present constitutes a considerable part
of the sheriff's duties and the treas
urer's work will be proportionately
Increased. At present the treasurer
is serving for the nominal sum of $100
a year. If the county salary bill were
defeated at the election in November
the treasurer would still be compelled
to undertake the larger duties of tax
collector. It would be a peculiar situ
ation and one which has probably
not been considered by those now en
gaged in revoking the referendum on
the salary bill.
ADVERTISING OUR APPLES
As reported in the News last week
the North Pacific Distributors, which
plans to include all the apple districts
of the Northwest, woud carry on an ad
vertising campaign in connection with
the marketing of the fruit crop. To
raise a fund for this purpose a charge
of one cent a box would be made on
apples, pears and strawberries and
half a cent on all fruit packed in
smaller packages.
It is now generally conceded that a
campaign of advertising. Judiciously
carried on, will be one of the most
potent influences in increasing the
consumption of the box apples of the
Northwest. In this connection U.
Grant Border, chairman of the adver
tising committee of the International
Apple Shippers' Association Is quoted
as follows:
"The year 1913 will be recorded in
the commercial history of this country
as the one in which the terms 'apples'
and 'advertising' became Inseparably
connected, for the great and lasting
good of the entire apple industry."
According to Mr. Border, the results
obtained in the comparatively short
time since the committee was appoint
ed has far exceeded his most sanguine
expectations, arid fully demonstrated
that his organization is on the right
road to removing the bugbear of the
apple trade under consumption.
WHITE SALMON
(from the Enterprise)
Mrs. R. C. Bruce and child arrived
from Minnesota last week and has
joined her husband at Top o' the
World ranch.
H. F. Davidson, the Hood River ap
ple shipper, reports that buds indicate
a very heavy crop for the valley, and
he is optimistic over next year's
prices for quality stuff.
The Bailey Gatzert, biggest boat
which plies this stretch of the river,
went into service Tuesday of thl
week, alternating with her sister boat,
the Dalles City. The Tahoma is still
on the run as an independent boat.
William Layman and family arrived
from Willmar, Minn., Saturday night
and have moved onto their tract near
the Bess place Just north of town
and purchased of C. J. Kingstedt in
the early spring. The tract comprises
50 acres.
John A.Byrne and Miss Geneva Wol
fard were married last Wednesday at
In Portland. The ceremony uniting
these White Salmon young people was
a very simple one. C. P. llutchlns of
this place was best man and Miss
Belle Wolfard, sister of the bride, was
bridesmaid.
Mrs. Nellie Moore, wife of P. C.
Moore, died at St. Vincent Hospital,
Portland after a short Illness. She
was taken from White Salmon to Port
land Sunday morning, operated upon
and her relatives were Informed that
her condition was very encouraging.
The next message received announced
her death.

BRIEF NOTES FROM
AROUND THE STATE
The mayor and other officials of
Portland last week asked Senator
Lane to introduce a bill for the pro
tection of the Bull Run reserve and to
protest against the construction of a
road across t.
If every county in Oregon should is
sue bonds for good roads up to the 2
per cent of its assessed valuation as
authorized by the county bonding act
passed by the last legislature, $18,000,-
000 in road money would be available
from this source alone.
Glad tidings were spread throughout
Sandy River and Powell Valley, along
the Mt. Hood Railway line, by C. M.
Clark, chairman of the Executive
Board of the Portland Railway, Light
& Power Company, when he directed
that the work of electrification from
Gresham to Bull Run be started as
soon as possible.
When the construction improve
ments nearing completion are finished
the North Bank Road expects to be
able to shoot its crack limited trains
through from Portland to Spokane in
approximately nine hours as against
lli hours now. This work is being
hurried so the slash in time can be
made before the O.-W. R. & N. finishes
its Spokane-Ayer cut-off which will
give the Harriman line an edge of 10
miles in the distance between the two
cities.
The acquisition of the vinegar and
cider factory of the Eugene Fruit Prod
ucts Company by the Eugene Fruit
Growers' Association gives the latter
complete control of the apple market
in that vicinity. The Fruit Growers'
Association has bought the other plant
and will consolidate It with the asso
ciation's cannery, which is one of the
leading plants of its kind on the Pacific
Coast. The Fruit Growers' Associa
tion heretofore has had the control of
the market for apples of commercial
quality, but the vinegar and cider fac
tory has bought all the cull apples.
A tower 970 feet high is being erect
ed at Naden, Germany, for use in wire
less telegraphy. It is expected to have
a radius of 6,000 miles.

"BILL" CASS NOW
COLLEGE JOKESMITH
"Bill" Cass, better known at the I
of O. as the Sage of Podunk, has been
elevated to the official position of col
lege Jokesmlth, being now editor of
the funny section of the "Emerald,
the college paper. Evidently the
Sage's long suit is advice on etiquette
to young and Inexperienced co-eds,
the following answers to feminine cor
respondents forming a portion of the
first installment of the comic section
Sweet Sixteen In answer to your
inquiry as to how long your dress
should be worn at the Formal, would
advise that you wear it until you
reach home at least. This a very
delicate matter, but the above method
is one that has been hallowed by
ancient custom and tradition.
Bernlce, No, we cannot conscien
tiously recommend Sage of Podunk ns
a remedy for fallen hair. So many
falls have been taken out of the Sage
that we would hesitate tc predict the
outcome if you should try an applica
tion. However, I can strongly recom
mend tying your hair firmly to a
nail in the closet before retiring.
Brunette Yes, if he says you were
made for him, you had better marry
him. Of course, you don't need to tell
him you made yourself a blonde be
cause he hated brunettes. He'll find
that out for himself after you are mar
ried. After having demonstrated his in
sight into the riddles of femininity,
the Sage hands out a number of Jokes
as yet untarnished by the hand of
time thus launching the Emerald's
funny section with the best promise of
success.
COWS BRING $14.37 A MONTH
The secret of the prevailing prosper
ity in Tillamook county is explained
by reference to the cow census which
is included in the county assessor's
figures. Last year butter fat brought
an average of 41.3 cents per pound
and each cow in the county produced,
on an average, $106. Good dairying
is also reported from Buena Vista,
where one herd of 11 cows brought a
check for $158.16, an average of $14.
37' for each cow during the month.
