If you Avaiit first quality rubbers and want to
KNOW they are "Firsts,"' you know wo arc here
with the goods.
We have not as many as one single
pair of second qaulity Men's or Ladies'
rubbers in our store. There is no danger of
vt.tinr "seconds" here.
The Difference
is not i appearance. They all look
alike, but firsts are made 'of pure rub
ber mostly, and seconds are made of your old rub
bers melted over and clay, mostly, with a little
new rubber to give it some life.
The Result
you seldom get a poor pair of firsts; you VERY
s
wdom get a good pair oi
we carry nrsts.
CHANCE TO GET AN

Eastern Electric Railway Man Has Become
Interested in the Possbilities for Such a
System in Hood River Letters from H. C.

WANTS TO MAKE EXAMINATION OF COUNTRY.
Hood River la offered an opportunity
for an electric railroad up the valley.
II. C. Bateham, now on a visit to Ohio,
has interested an Eastern electric rail
road builder in the possibilities for
such a line in Hood River, and the
gentleman in question, I. K. Pierson,
turn declared his willingness to exam
ine the conditions here if he is assured
a payment of $250.
The following letters explain the sit
uation: Painesville, O., Nov. 4, 1903. Editor

ceived from I. K. Pierson, which is
self-explanatory. As to his ability, can

He put through the railroad from
Cleveland to Painesville, overcoming

Although the figure seems high, still
this preliminary work is essential and
must be accurate and trustworthy to
be of value, and I have no doubt the

will be glad to do my share.

financial success of an electric railway
up Hood River valley, for $250. If the
outlook mid. possibilities look good, I
would probably remain and push tbe
project to a completion, provided I get
sufficient encouragement from the peo
ple to be most benefited.
The amount above mentioned ought
to be easily arranged for by a limited
subscription from the farmers of the
valley. The report in any event will
be of value to your people and worth
severul time the price paid for it.

Grande Ronde Men Visit Hood River.
Will Wright and A. I. Gale of Union
were in Hood River last week to learn
why Hood River apples bring the high
est price in the fruit market. They
found out Detore they lett town. Mr.
Gale drove over the valley with Joe
Wilson, manager of the Apple Growers
union, and bad nothing but the highest
praises for all he saw.
Mr. Wright is cashier iu a bank at
Union, of which his father ,Tom Wright,
is the principal stockholder. Both own
farming lands, and Mr. Gale won two
cold medals at the National Irrigation
coneress held at Ocden last September-
one on plume, the other on the best
commercially packed box of apples.
The medals are beautiful in design and
workmanship.
Mention of the irrigation congress at
Ogden brings op a story not told in
orint before. Returning lrom me land
of the frugal Mormons was a party of
four Oregon delegates rom w ngnt oi
Union, Sam White tbe democratic poll
ution of Baker City, A. H. Devers the
Portland spice man, and the writer.
The four had been 10 days from home,
and funds with all had run low. No
one said anything, expecting to borrow
from the other fellow when on the
rain. The truth leaked out by the
time Pocatello was reached, where the
crowd pooled their "pile" and got break
fast. Four men.no money and 700 miles
from home. Butortune smiled. Tom
Wright found a five in the hidden re
cesses of his pocket-book. A loan was
negotiated and supper eaten at Hunting
ton the first bite in 10 hours This
was Sam White's home, and Wright
dropped off at Union, leaving Devere
and the Hood River delegate with a
email fee for the porter, but nothing to
buy breakfast with.
The train was late and the conductor
said breakfast would be served at Tbe
Dalles at 9 o'clock. Another happy
thought perhaps Jud Fish of the Uma
tilla iiouse would serve us a meal on our
own recognition. And thanks to hia
goodness we made the home Btretch on
a full stomach.
Oregon Schools at St. Louis Fair.
A circular of general interest has been
issued by the department of public in
struction at Salem. It is addressed to
school directors, superintendents, prin
cipals and teachers of the state, and re
cites: The Louisiana Purchase exposition is
to be held in St. Louis in 1904, and for
the first time in the history of enter
prises of this kind, the department of
education has been assigned first place,
and a separate building has been pro
vided for the educational exhibit and
a comparative display from all the
leading nations of the world. It
is earnestly desired by this de
partment that Oregon shall take
its proper place as a leading exhibitor
in that department. The great interest
heretofore manifested by the people of
Oregon in all matters pertaining to edu
cation, justify the expectation of

hearty co-operation in the prepara
tion of an educational display
that will intelligently and effectively
illustrate Oregon's school system
and the results achieved in all lines of
the work. Professor V. G. Young lias
been appointed as the educational ex
hibit commissioner for Oregon, and
Superintendent H. S. Lyman as super
intendent, and these gentlemen have,
in conjunction with the committee ap
pointed for the purpoce by the state
teachers' association, prepared a circu
lar containing suggestions and plans for
preparing a creditable exhibition, which
you will receive in due time. All in
quiries and communications should be
addressed to Superintendent II. S. Ly
man, 208 Vine street.I'ortlaud, Oregon.
They Want the College at Hood River.
Rev. W. G. Fisher, pastor of First
United Brethren church, Portland, was
in Hood River last week to look up the
college proposition. His wile and sis
ter accompanied him.
Mr. Fisher was highly pleafed with
the proposed location of the college just
west ot Dr. W. L. Adams', and was of
the opinion that the college would be
moved here if Hood Kiver people got in
and hustled for it. The final vote will
be taken next June, and the result will
be determined largely by whether or
not the proposed number of lots (115) is
sold by that time.
Revs. L, Ilarter and F. P. Petit have
also visited Hood Kiver recently for the
same purpose. Both gentlemen de
clared they would purchase lots as well
as use their influence when the Anal vote
is taken. Rev. and M rs. Fisher were
formerly teachers at Philomath college.
Mr. Fipher waa professor of Latin and
and Greek and his wife had charge of
the conservatory of music. Their judg
ment will carry great weight at tbe
coming conference.
Professor Knox.tlie famous impersona
tor, who has three times entertained Hood
River audiences, has consented to take
the department of elocution, should the
college locate here.
If Hood River people want this col
lege they must pull together and pull
hard.
