When there wan a fire on the ileightg a few days ago the rope on the fire bell was found broken and Night Officer Hart climbed to the bel fry and gave the alarm with a ham mer. Many of the department , as well a 8 others, did not hear the alarm. When a number did pather at the fire, hoeer, there was for some reason no water. The volunteer fire depart ment has been doing its best, but against heavy odds. A more adequate fire alarm system is one of the Bret requisites for protection of property within the city limits. Questions of vital interest to the public, such as capital and labor, pris on reform, niormonism, social purity, immigration, intemperance, peace, marriage and divorce, the weekly rest day and the relation of public educa tion to morality and religion are to re ceive expert discussion. Sectional onferences will be held in the fore noons cf the days of the week that the world assembly is In session. In the afternoons and evenings public addresses will be delivered by speak ers from this and foreign countries. With school out and the children cast upon their own resources ftor amusement, the value of industrial work is especially evident If the boy has a garden plot and the girl some housekeeping enterprise In which she is interested, both looking towards competition in the county industrial fair this Fall, then the vacation will not be wasted and the mother will not be so frequently harassed with the question of what boy or girl can do for amusement. ' An active interest is being aroused here in the Second World's Christian citizenship conference to be held in Portland from June 29 to July 6. A public gathering wa3 held last evening and people of Hood River were in formed of the opportunity which will be given to hear from many of the principal countries of the world, all of them leaders of Christian thought and action. For once the State Railroad Com 4 mission will not be blamed lor delay in rendering a decision. Electric light patrons are enjoying the delay in the matter of the two companies' application for an increased schedule of rates. It looks now as though the increase would not be made before the first of June at the earliest. With a clear field this year and a live executive committee, Hood River should have a rousing Fourth of July celebration. All Indications are that the eagle will scream in a good old fashioned manner. These peace conferences should al so do something for improving the re lations between the garden fiend and the chicken fiend, who happen to be neighbors. , There is no prospect that there will be any reduction in the number of tariff speeches in the Senate. California's declaration of independ ence includes the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of aliens. BAD FREEZE IN COLORADO Recent investigations which have been made over the Gran d Valley of the effects of the freeze .April 23, in dicate that the damage was much heavier than had been expected. It was thought the appJe crop was not far enough along to be in danger with the temperatures reported, but investigations show the effects of the freeze. Some orchards were hit worse than others, and the crop will be very much spotted. Around Clifton the ranchers are estimating a To per cent crop of appleg, although the June drop may cut this down, but the loss in the Orand Junction aml.Z .onit tlonB Is much heavier. Some ranch ers say they cannot find a :ngle good bud. ARENS WINS HONOFIS It. W .Arens was one of Ihwe who won honors in the recent military drill competition at the O. A. C.

Miss Georgia Prather of Hood River was elected president of the Woman's Athletic Association yesterda). This makes her ex-officio first vice-president of the Woman's League. Itoth of these organizations have been recently formed at the rniverstty. The Woman's League is composed of all the women of the I'niversity and has general charge of their activities. The Athletic Associa tion is the most important of the sun- organizations under this general so ciety. The otVt of president of the Ath letic Association carries with it an honor second only to the presidency of the general Woman's League. Miss Prather, who is a Junior in the Uni versity, graduated from the Hood Riv er High School in ly09. She has been prominent in women's athletics at the I'niversity. YAKIMA CHANGES GRADES Substitution of grades 1, 2 and or grades "extra fancy," has been decided upon by the horticultural un ion of Yakima for the coming market ing season. Grade 1 will be a better one than extra fancy, and grade 2 not so good as fancy. Grade 3 will be marketed unwrapped, and will not be packed at all except in light crop yeai s when there is a demand for a class of fruit that could not qualify for either of the two higher grades. The first grade will admit of only the following varieties: Arkansas Black, Delicious, Gravenstein, Grimes Golden, Jonathan, Mcintosh Red, Ort- ley, Red Cheek Pippin, Rome Beauty Spitzenberg, White Winter Pearmain. Winesap, Yellow Newtown, Winter Banana. WHITE SALMON (From the Enterprise) The first ripe strawberries report ed this season were picked Tuesday of last week by A. Henderson at Bin gen. Otto Ahlman, who has conducted a plumbing shop here for several years, moved to Washougal this week. The Mt. Adams Lumber Co. has seven teams hauling logs to their mill at Trout Lake, and are employing about 25 men in the woods and mill. F. G. Dunnicliffe, former owner of the Enterprise, left Friday for Port land, where he will spend a few days, then leave for California to look over portions of that state. He was unde cided when he went away as to where be would locate. The ball has been started roling for the Fourth of July celebration. At a committee meeting last week it was decided to hold the celebration on Friday and Saturday, July 4th and 5th. From all indications at present White Salmon straw berry growers w ill this year have one of the best seasons for several years. The moisture of the past few days has been a wonder ful help to the crop, and if the weather turns off warm now the yield will be enormous. There should be quite a few crates on the market by the 28th of this month. Iast year the rain came during the picking season and caused considerable loss. The Enter prise has received information from a man well informed on the berry in dustry that the yield this year should reach 2fi,uo0 crates. There is practi cally 225 acres set to the fruit in this valley which will be in bearing this year. ADVERTISED LETTERS Mrs James S lirayden, Mrs Minerva Brown, Jas H liolen. Miss H.

HOOD RIVER WOMEN GET COMMENDATION Hood River women, because of their energy and perseverance in securing money for the additional library site ai'tt r it had been defeated by the op position at the recent election, have come in for some very favorable men tion. The following editorial appear ed in the Oregonian the last of the week: The women of Hood River have proved that a stingy group of tax payers cannot feel certain of keeping back improvements. A proposed bond issue to erect a Carnegie library was mud down at a recent city election, but the Woman's Club took the mat ter up and, without serious difficulty, raised the sum required by subscrip tion. Some of the gifts were com itiendably liberal. It is mentioned for example that K.L. Smith's four daugh ters contributed There is nothing in the way of civic improvement, which an energetic and determined Woman's Club cannot ac complish if it takes hold in the right way. This lesson has been learned in nu.ny citus. both large and small, and others are rapidly learning it. Sutiess in practical affairs has given the clubs an appetite to do more of the same kind of work, and we may expect to see them becoming more powerful every day as factors in mun icipal government, the establishment :f park and playgrounds systems, and so on. The old notion that a Woman's Club was an organization to study art out of cyclopedias and listen to es says on trashy novels has about van ished. The modern Woman's Club Is an extremely practical and keenly active body. It is interested in art and lit erature, but in a thousand other sub jects also. It is particularly interest ed in politics of the up-to-date variety. 444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444 Are four Pie Crusts Criso and US""' tr Makvr Such a crust depends on the lard.

There is another which seeks to apply the principles of Justice and common sense to the government of our cities, even to the government of the country. Women are emphatically creatures of common sense. In reality they are far less sentimental than men in rela tion to public business and far less pliable to adhere to a political party on purely emotional grounds. At least such is the lesson we learn from their comparatively brief career with the suffrage. The increasing inclination of tho women's clubs to plunge Into politics means an influx of common isense where it is sadly needed. APPLE CROP CLEANED UP More Than 50,000,000 Barrel., turned During Year Con- Members of the International Apple Shippers' Association say that the great apple crop of 1H12, amounting to not less than 50,000,(H)0 barrels, will surely "clean up" before the new- standard crop is ready for the market. While prices are not considered high, they are comparatively good now and give promise of holding. Apple deal ers are elated over their success In marketing such a vast amount of one variety of fruit, as compared with amounts In previous years. The end of the season the consumption of American appleg will have been about 20,ouo,ooo barrels more than It has been for any other year In the past ten or more. The following sentences appeared in a small boy's letter to his chum: "You know Bob Jones' neck. Well, he fell In the river up to it." Jupe Pluvius is too generous.
