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.

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.

PIONEER WOMEN
ARE ENTERTAINED
Pioneer women of the city were
very pleasantly entertained Wednes
day afternoon at the home of Mrs.
Bert Stranahan in honor of Mrs. O. L.
Stranahan. whose "Sib. birthday it was.
There were 14 ladies present as fol
lows: Mrs. Monroe, Mrs. John Hend
ricks, Mrs. Newton Clarke, Mrs. John
Parker, .Mrs. S. F. Blythe. Mrs. O. L.
Stranahan, Mrs A. B. Jones, Mrs.
John Wilson, Mrs. J. H. Gill, Mrs.
George Prow ell. Mrs. A Ingle, Mrs.
Alma Howe, Mrs. Stanton and Mrs.
Crouch. Mrs. James Stranahan and
Mrs. C. F. 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.
