After reading the reports, the board of directors oft'ered their resignation? in a body. This action was taken in order to give the stockholders a chance "to legally elect a new board. There be. ing no quorum present at the meeting two weeks ago, no election could be held. After some discussion the reslg nations were accepted and the meeting "proceeded to make nominations to fill the vacancies. As most of the old board refused to accept renomination others nominated also refused to serve If elected on a new board. Amotion was then made to reconsider the vote by which the resignations of the old iwiard were accepted and was carried unanimously. - ; The following motion by T. R. Coon whs unanimously adopted: That the chairman appoint a committee of five to solicit the signatures of the straw berry growers to a pledge to ship with the union, and unless 80 per cent of the output of strawberries is pledged, that the board of directors may suspend all shipments of fruit by the union for the period of one year. The time given for signing the pledge is limited to the 15th of December. The following were appointed to circulate the pledge: Capt. A. S. Blowers, Robt. Rand, U. J. Gess ling, Hon. E. L. Smith, Hon. T, R Coon. Adjourned. , Capt. P. 6. Davidson, capitalist and veteran saw mill man, is now in Hood River. . He has investigated the tim ber resources ot the valley and finds a good quality of timber and enough of it to run a mill of 10,000 feet an hour capacity for many years. He stands ready to put in his mill If be can ob tain the necessary property rights and ihe use of Hood river for driving logs. If his mill is located here it will neces sitate the building of at least 50 houses in our town to accommodate the fam ilies the work in the mill will bring, It will double the population of our town within a year. Every business, every ranch and every family in the valley will be benefited by ttiis enter prise. .We hope nothing will stand in the way of Mr. Davidson's mill com ing to Hood River. Howard Isenberg of the Second Ore gon volunteers at Manila, sent the Glacieb three Manila papers the Daily American of Oct. 23d; Freedom, a semi-weekly, of Oct. 22d; and La Re publica Flllpina, Spanish, of Oct. 19th. The American papers contain news of the military camps, cablegrams, war news and advertisements. Schlltz beer occupies a page in each of the American papers, which goes to prove that trade really does follow the flag. All three of the papers are gotten up in the poorest style of the printer's art. The type setting is evidently done by cheap Filipino labor. Spain has at last acceded to the de mands of the United States and gives up the Philippines, but protesting that she has no other recourse. And our government gives up $20,000,000 for the privilege of trying to govern the islands. It may be a long time before we have any better success with the Filipinos than did the Spaniards. In the meantime it will cost in men and money many times the worth of the islands to America. It will be a great pity if Aguinaldo's government doesn't prove Itself capable of governing so that we can some day let the Filipinos govern themselves. ' . . , , , . Capt. Gadxby of the heeond Oregon voluuteers has resigned and come home. Officers may resign, but the privates must be resigned to their fate whatever it is to be in the Philippines and serve out their two years. ; Living in the Country. In the December Ladies' Home Jour nal Edward Bok, with much satis faction, notes the strong tendency to country living, and believes that "it is one of the best signs of the times. Nothing in the world can keep a man or woman so young avid fresh as to be able to be in touch each day with the perpetual - freshness and youth of Nature. Surburban life means more out-of-door living, and thai is what we Americans all need. ' We want more exercise, and suburban living makes that easier. We want our interest in things kept fresh, and that Nat ure does tor us as nothing else can. The more our busy men see of Nature's restful ways the more restful will they become, The closer we keep our children to the soil, the healthier will they be phys ically, and the stronger will they develop mentally. The more our girls breathe in the pure air wbich God in tended for all, but which man in the cities pollutes, the better women we shall have, the fewer worried mothers we shall see. The more our younir men see of out-of-door sports the more clearly will they realize the greatness of splendid physical health. The more the urea nousewite sees ot uowers ana plants and trees the closer will become ner interest in all mini's natural and simple; and as she sees the simplicity with whicd jNature woiks, uncon sciously will the lesson be forced upon her and enter into her own methods, We all atrree that there is no teachtr like Nature herself. Let us all, then, ttel as close to her as possible. What ever she teaches Is wholesome to the mind and uplifting to the soul and strengthening to the body. In the very act ot studying her woudertui ways there is health." Antelope Educational Meeting. The educational meeting at Antelope last week was attended by superinten dents and teachers from Wasco,' Cro k and Sherman counties. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted 1st. The financial year should be made to conform to the school year Hiid end about the first Monday In July. 2d.

What is the use of making a better article than your competitor if you can not get a better price for it? . Ans. As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be much greater in the aggregate. . How can yau get the public to know yonr mane is the best? If both articles are brought promi nently ueiore the public both are cer tain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them ana use only tne belter one, , -. this explains the large sale on ChHinberluin.s Cough Remedy. The people have been using it- for years and have found that it can always be de pended upon.
