This is . an era of concentrationthe day of large achievement. From conducting the house
., .'.hold to administering the nation, every logical man knows that economy of force results from com-
biriation. It is this principle which makes of a half hundred states a nation; which replaced the packet
ships of a. former generation with the floating palaces of today; retires' thousands of horses by the building
of a few power-houses, and substitutes a slender copper wire for hundreds of
locomotives of many tons weight. Working in another direction, concentration
provides one kitchen in a modern hotel, instead of one for every family or suite.

The "Crawford" organization is largest in the world producing fine shoes exclu
sively. It is the largest consumer for the leading tanners, and is naturally spe
cially catered to by them. Only the choicest materials are used in "Crawfords." They introduce more artis
tic and numerous styles than any other make, because produced by the highest order of genius in
shoe design. One man designs the patterns of an ordinary factory the "Crawford," with
a daily output of ten thousand pairs, employes a dozen.
Crawford Shoes are sold direct at one close margin profit. They are unques
tionably as good as any other shoes sold in Portland today at $6.00,
$7.00 or $8.00. The "Crawford" makers believe in good shoes
but not in fancy prices; they believe in liberal guar
antees and their honest fulfillment. Craw

Benefits of Division.
The argument in favor of this hill Is
as follows:
Argument submitted by Hood River
Commercial club In favor of Initiative
bill No. S3d. No. 33", for the creation of
Hood River county:
This bill Is submitted under the ini
tiative for the following among other
reasons: . .
?n iana section t of article 11 of the
constitution of Oregon, was amended ad
as to read, so far as this question Is
concerned, as follows:
"Corporations may he rormea unaer
reneral lawa. but shall not be created by
he legislative assembly by special
laws
Th a sect ion of the constitution origin
nally read as follows:
Corporations may ne rormea unaer
eneral lawn, rmi Biiau noi do creaieti
special laws, except ror municipal
6?
purposes
This change in' the constitution ab
solutely prohibits the legislative assem
bly from creating a county by a lav
Dassed for that purpose aione. ah tne
legislature can do is to pass a general
law under the terms of which Rnv COm-
-munltv in the state may, by complying
with its provisions, organise a new
countv. a countv is a nubile corpora'
tion and it is apparent that said section
t of article 11. as amended, reserves to
the people the ngnr to .create
nnnntv hir initiative VOte.
There is no general law for the crea
tion of counties now, and no one knows
when. If ever, there will be one. The
facts as to area, population and assessed
valuation submitted herewith show, as
we believe, that we are aoie to maintain
a county government, uui or a popula
tion of about .7.600. the desire of i
county for the Hood Kiver country Is
earnest ana unanimous, witn ine ex
ception of a small fraction of 1 per cent.
We are assured by leading citiaens of
The Dalles, Dufur and other portions of
Wasco county that tney nave no. oojeo
tlons to the creation of Hood River
county as proposed In this bill. More
than 400 residents or The Dalles and
Dufur have signed the petitions asking
that tnia Din pe auDmutea to. a vote at
the June election, though 45 names from
Dufur were received too late to be filed
with the secretary or state. ..
.COFFEE- - . ;
. Buy it as you buy but
ter; tea is as good or as
bad as butter; so's coffee.'
Tour grocer returns your money If you
don't like Schilling's Best; we pay him.
The people of the Hood River coun
try therefore ask favorahle confedera
tion of the voters of the state upon this
bill for these among other reasons:
Because the new county will be a
great benefit to the people residing
therein and will facllltaie the transac
tion of their county business.
Because, aa the law stands, a countv
cannot be created by the legislature;
and, finally.
Because the people of The Dalles and
the balance of Wa3cn county, we are In
formed and believe, are willing that
Hood R"tver county may be. created aa
provided in this bill.
The assessed valuation In the pro
posed Hood River countv In 1903 was
$908,668; in 1906 was $1,618,670, showing
a gain In valuation from 1903 to -1906
of $710,102. or about 7R per cent. The
valuation In 1907 was $2,762,260, a gain
over 1906 of $1,143,580. or about 70 per
cent, showlnr the proportionate Increase
in one year from 19(V to 1907 to be al
most as great as that In three years
from 1903 to 1906
The proposer) Hood River county has
a population of about 7,500, an area of
about 600 square miles, and 20 school
houses, seven of which are graded
schools having from two to eight rooms
each and with a, $30,000 high school un
der construction:
There will be left In Wasco county.
after Hood River countv Is created, an
area of 1,646 square miles, a population
of 11.600. and a valuation or X6.457.7Z0,
thus leaving It among- the largest and
strongest counties of th state.
The tax levy on t'a 1907 valuation Is
14 mills, which would ralsa in the pro
posed Hood .River county $38,671.60.
which Is ample to pay the expenses of
operating Hood River county and leave
a substantial oaiance.
