The war revenue bill, now a law, hits us ull one way or another. It gives Uncle Sam the ready money to carry on the war, and if the people had as surance that by doubling the taxes the war would be over that much sooner, the increase would be as cheerfully paid. Tobacco is taxed 12 cents a pound; cigars, $3.60 per 3,000; cigar ettes, $1.5(; bowling alleys, $5 a year for each alley; bank checks, 2 cents; bills of lading, express or freight, 1 cent; telephone messages, 1 cent; bonds of indemnity, 50 cents; contracts for real estate, merchandise, stocks, etc., 10 cents; deeds, transfers of real estate, etc., for each $100 in value, 50 cents; telegrams, 1 cent; life insurance pol icies, 8 cents per $100; lease for one year or less, 25 ents, over three years, $1; mortgage, exceeding $1,000, 25 cents, and 25 cents for each additional $500 over $1,500; proxies, 10 cents; power of attorney, 25 cents; protest, 25 cents; medicinal proprietary articles and per fumery, cosmetics and other similar ar ticles, one-eighth of 1 cent for each 5 cents in retail price; chewing gum, for each dollar or fraction of retail value, 4 cents; fire and marine insurance, upon the arnouut of premium charged, one half of 1 per cent on each dollar or fraction. A stamp tax of 1 cent is lev ied on each ticket for a seat in a palace or parlor car or berth. A tax of 4 cents a barrel is levied on "mixed flour," and a tax of $12 a year on manufacturers thereof. Next Monday is the 122d anniversary of the birth of our natiou. Independ ence day this year means more than it has for many a year. Our country today is at war with an European na tion. Our soldiers and sailors are plant ing' the Stars and Stripes on foreign shores. Such a patriotic demonstration will be made by this nation of 70,000, 000 of souls as perhaps was never before witnenaed durinsr the hitttorv of its ex- istance. The nation will celebrate the victories of a war begun for the sake of humanity that a neighboring people should le given their freedom. Can the suerafice of human life be offered in a nobler cause? Our nation is but in its you tl compared with the countries of the Old World, and a new era Is opening before it. ' Perhaps it will de cide the destiny of the republic. Let freedpm ring and the eagle scream, America will show the world the ideal ism of a nation whose government is of the people, for the people and by the people. . The great increase In the strawberry crop of Hood River valley over former years can be attributed to the big ditch of the Valley Improvement Co. With out this ditch our shipments could not have reached half the number of crates shipped this year. The Improvement company sojd 459 inches of water this season. This is at least 400 inches more than the Hood River Water Supply Co. could have furnished without put ting their regular 'customers on short allowance. The big ditch cost about $28,000. It is safe to say that the in crease in this year's crop of strawber riee, black terries and other fruit, gar den truck and clover will bring enough money to pay for the ditch. The fields of clover sown last spring, if properly looked after and irrigated, will be suf ficient in a year or two to supply the home market with hay. ... Judge W. L. Bradshawcarried every county in the district with majorities as follows: Sherman, 243; Gilliam, 61; Wasco, 275; Crook, 242 total, 811. A Law of Prizes In War. Very interesting to every citizen just now are the laws regulating the dispos ition of prizes captured in war. A ju dicial tribunal called a prize court de termines all points in relation to this disposition of captures made from the enemy. Our laws relative to capture made at sea are modeled after the laws of Great Britain on the same subject. According to our law if a capture is made from an enemy's force which is equal or superior to our forces then the prize captured goes entirely to the captors. If the force of the enemy was inferior in numbers and strength toour forces, then one-half of the prite goes to the navy pension fund and the other half to the captors. The commanding officer of the fleet or squadrou receives one-twentieth of the prize, the com mander of each hip, unless his ship is acting independently, receives one tenth of what goes to his ship and the rest is distributed among the officers and men. If a ship isacting independ ent of the rest of the squadron, then its captain receives three-twentieth of the 'amount allotted to his ship. It is, of course, international law that a'l captures made in war shall revert to t he benefit of the government making the capture. The giving of the prize or part of it to the captors must be au- tnonzea Dy local law, as it is in no way recognized by international law. It is, however, at present the practice of nearly all governments to give the cap tors at lenst a portion of the prize cap tured.' This is done as a reward for services and bravery shown, as well as to stimulate men to the greatest exer tion. Iu the war of the rebellion over 1,200 prizes were captured. The most val uable of all of tbem was the ironclad Tennessee, which was captured by Ad miral Farragut in the battle in Mobile bay. The Tennessee was valued at $595,000. , PROGRAMME For The Celebration of Independence Day at Hood River, July 4, 1898. Procession will form at corner of Oak and Second streets, at 10 a. m. sharp.

Closing address by Dr. W. L.Adams. From the Boys in Blue. Tuesday's mail brought to Hood River letters from the Oregon volun teers now supposed to be at Manila. The letters were mailed for the United States during the stopover of the trans ports at Honolulu. Mrs. Geo. P. Crowell, who received a number of let ters from her son, Clarence English, has handed the same to us and from which we print extracts. Clarence writes that he was sea-sick for the first three or four days out, but that the rest of the Hood River boys kept well, except Maltie Dukes, who was sick for a day or two. The weather was perfect, excepting a shower or two, and the boys were given the privilege of sleeping on the decks at night. The ladies of the Red Cross society of San Francisco furnished the soldiers with plenty of reading matter. In speking of the hospitality shown the toys in blue by the people of San Francisco, Clarence tells of a Red Cross woman who stopped a bakery wauon and or dered pies for a whole company of Oregon boys, she paying for the same from her own purse. 1 be expedition reached Honolulu on June 1st, and right royally were the boys received and entertained. All the privileges of the city were given tbem free of charge, the citizens refusing to accept pay for anything the soldiers wished. The entire command, 8000 strong, was given a reception and ban quet under the spreading palms of the city plaza, on the second day of their arrival, where they were served to ba nanas and oranges, cigars and ginger ale galore. Six hundred bicycles were placed at tbeir disposal. The boys simply gave checks for the wheels and were allowed to go where they pleased. Clarence thinks the people here, who are opposed to the annexation of the Hawaiian islands, to be "crazy or ig norant. They have the wrong impres sion," he says, "of the character of the people. Of course the Japs are not very desirable, but' they know how to manage them here. The Chinamen raised $6000 for the soldier boys, and the rest of the citizens raised $4000 for us, a total of $10,000. , . The Hawaiian congress adjourned upon the arrival of the soldiers and threw open the congress halls to the boys in blue, where they were supplied with writing materials and postage stamps at the expense of the Hawaiian government. The following we copy from a letter written by Mr. English while in the hall of the house of repre sentatives: . I know you will be surprised to get this let ter written in the senate chamber of the house of representatives of Hi. wail, but the people here have thrown tne place open to us. This Is In the palace which used to be the royal palaca We Just partook of a banquet served to us all In royal style in the palace grounds under the beautiful shade trees and palms. We were served by the finest ladies and gen tlemen of the land to all the delicacies of a tropical paradise and also plenty of good sub stantial food. I had the honor of a personal Introduction to President and Mrs Dole, and had aulte a chat with the president, who is one of the nest men in me worm, ne torn me ne was born here and so you see he Is the one man who could have accomplished without great bloodshed what he did in dethroning the queen. The natives all seem to think, the worm or mm. It is a sieht lonir to be remembered to see 2500 blue coats banqueting under the palms in a palace grove. I am sitting at one of the sen ator's desks now and the boys are sitting all around, writing to their mothers and friends. Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke lour Ufa A war.

There being some dispute as to whether the part of a township peti tioned to be withdrawn from the Cas cade reserve by the settlers at Mt.Hood was ever thrown out or not is settled by the following letter: "General Land Office, Washington, D.C., May 27, 1898.-Hon.

Very respectfully, ' Bijsgeb HermanjJ, Commissioner. A Bounteous Bill of Fare. Copies of the Honolulu Advertiser of June 3d and 4th were sent by Clarence English to his mother. From the pa per of June 3d we copy the bill or fare furnished at a banquet given the U. 8. troops on the palace grounds June 4th, as follows: "Potato salad, one ton; roast beef, 2.500 pounds; roast mutton; milk, 300 gallons; turkeys; ham sand wiches, 10,000; chickens; coffee, 150 pounds equals gallons; pineapples, 800; watermelons, 800; mangoes, 20,000; oranges, 6,000; various meats;. bread and butter; etc., etc., etc.; cigars and cigar ettes; soda water and ginger ale, 12,000 bottles; etc., etc., etc.; pie, 2,000; cake, 20 bushels.

Bad management keeps more people in poor circumstances than any other one cause. To be successful one must look ahead and plan ahead so that when a favorable opportunity presents itself he is ready to take advantage of it. A little forethougbt will also save much expense and tvaluable time. A prudent and careful man will keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house; the shiftless fellow will wait until necessity compels it and then ruin his best horse going for a doctor and have a big doctor bill to pay, besides: one pays out 25 cents, the other is out a hundred dollars and then wonders why his neighbor is getting richer while he is getting poorer.
