LANE'S GIFT OF GAB Senator Lane finds the gift of gab r.o hinull asset in performing his Con grehnional duties. The "insidious lobby" stands no chance with Ore gon's talkative senator who meets their advances by such a stream of words that they have no opportunity to voice their pleas, departing in a species of dumb distress. Meanwhile the lobbyist is taking to the woods in the vicinity of the na tional capital, and a cynic, noting the latter day activities of Congress has observed that ours is becoming "t government by Investigation." Four years ago Senator Robert M La Follette declined to vote on the zinc item, making from his seat the explanation that he had financial in terest in a line property that would be directly affected. There wag a good deal of sneering at the dema gogic bid; but now- the senate has directed its judiciary committee, while investigating the lobby, to learn whe ther any senator is financially inter ested in the production of anything affected by the tariff. The thing that wag demagoguery four years ago gets adopted this year. That hap pens a good many times, and invest! tions f one sort and another make it happen. HARVESTING STRAWBERRIES Harvesting the strawberry crop this year is proving more than ordinarily difficult on account of the shortage of pickers. The fact that boats have not been able to get up from Potr land because of high water has kept many pickers away and the warm .weather caused the crop to ripen rapidly. On some ranches it is said that large quantities of berries spoil ed in the field because not enough pickers could be secured. Last year the situation was re lieved to a considerable extent through the Portland Y. M. C. A., which maintained a branch office here and supplied pickers. They found it difficult, however, for the reason, they said, that adequate accommodations were not provided for the class of pickers they were able to supply. They declared that pickers could not be supplied unless more was done for their comfort after they arrived. The present year tends to show that there was considerable truth in the conclusion reached by the Y. M. C. A. It did not attempt to repeat the experiment this year and the problem of securing and retaining pickers remains unsolved. Hood River will continue to have a county attorney in the person of Attorney George R. Wilbur until No vember, 1914, at least. A referend um petition was filed calling for a special election on the measure cre ating county attorneys in Oregon and the election was to have been held next November. However, Judge Galloway of the Supreme Court has just held that such an election would be unconstitutional and the refer endum on thig measure will now have to be held over until the general elec tion next year. It is a deplorable thing when tip ling Is practiced by even a few young men. or boys, of a community. It is a vicious practice at the best, but especially so among young men of Immature judgment and deficient in proper ideals. They are made to feel that they must, do as the rest if they are to be "one of the bunch' and in a thoughtless moment start a habit which they may regret for many years to come. Such a practice can not be too severely condemned. Bryan's grapejulce haB become as famous as Fairbanks cocktail and the secretary of state need never be thirsty so long as he lives, according to present indications. Following the publication of details concerning the grapejulce banquet Mr. Bryan has re ceived cast-s of that beverage from every manufacturer in the United S ates and the department "wine cel lar" is filled to overflowing. Vacation time is Hiver bad one or tels she would be from Portland and No more beautiful spend a summer found than among mountains of Hood here and if Hood more summer ho drawing her quota other Coast cities i-pot In which to vacation could be the foothills and River Valley. It is none too early to jot down the dates for Hood River's Horticul tural Chautauqua July 21-28 and to plan to be there. Nor can there be a more opportune time in which to entertain visitors from out of town. The event promises to be ag en joyable as it is unique. Posltlous on Hood River's city coun cil are not being sought as assid ouiily as ou Portland's commission. However, if $5,000 were appended to the office the flame of patriotic ar dour would no doubt burn as bright ly here as in the Rose City. While many are attending Port lands Rose Festival this week Hood River also can boast of her roses. Thousands of bushes, beariug an end less variety of blooms now make Hood River a miniature rival of the Rom City.

HAS WILD RIDE ON RIVER Carried down the swiftly flowing waters of the Columbia River at flood stage for 30 miles on a small crude ly constructed raft, trusting to provi dence to get him out of his perilous position, was the experience of a 19 year-old youth who was picked up by the ferry crew at Grant Ferry, near Maryhill the last of the week. The lad was on a scow that broke loose from its moorings at McCredle station on the North Bank road and drifted out into the current so quick ly that he wag unable to get ashore. After drifting down the stream for several miles the scow struck a rock and hung up, starting to go to pieces, when the youth hastily im provised a small raft and cut loose from the scow.

Sumner assisted Mrs. Stran ahan in entertaining her guests and a delightful afternoon was passed. After a luncheon was served the women who helped win Hood River from the wilderness told many in teresting reminiscences of the early days. Mrs. Newton Clarke said that her reputation as a Sunday School teacher had preceded her when she arrived. Soon afterwards Mrs. Hen dricks invited her to a dance. Her first partner was Frank Sherrieb. He proved such a proficient dancer that Mrs. Clarke was afterward shocked to learn that he was a Methodist, she said. She was speedily enlisted as a Sunday School teacher and for many years was a most faithful worker. Mrs. John Parker owiled one of the first grocery stores in the city. She told of some of her amusing and in teresting experiences while selling goods to Hood River's first Bettlers. Mrs. Alma Howe said that one of the things which stuck most persist ently in her memory was the Impres sion Bhe received when Mrs. Dethman bought of Henry Howe, then clerk ing in Mr. Smith's store, 14 pairs of children's shoes at one clip. Mrs. Blythe still remembered and recounted some of her experiences while at the boarding house kept by Russell Peeler on the site of the pres ent Paradise Farm. Mrs. John Wilson expressed her thank illness that she had been able to spend so many years in Hood River, ami.! such beautiful natural surroundings and among so many good friends a: J-neighbors. In the early days there was a rivalry be tween herself and M i. Hendricks ov vr which deserved the title of belle of the town. However, she said the win ters were long and sometimes lone some and recalled how Mrs. Potter used to offer 25 cent., an hour to have someone to talk to. Mrs. Stranahan wa one of the first postmasters of Hooi River and talk ed entertainingly of some of her ex periences during her term of seven years in that caparity. NEW ADDITION TO HOOD RIVER E. V.
