under th. Art of March J. ltT.
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.

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.

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.

HOOD UWIM,
The women probably care as little
as they ever did for that kind of pol
itics which is concerned merely with
putting one set of rascals out of of
fice and another set In, but this Is
not the only kind. 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.
