0 -..,..... J . .' HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THUHSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1906 t ' WAVE OF TRAVEL COMING OUR WAY A biuiMT travel to the nortliwefet than duriuu the Lewis and Clurk ex position year is redicted for the summer by W. A. Cox, Kouorul HKeut of Die Chicago it 'ortliwewtern inil war. who lias luwt loluriied from a tiiiHinosH ttin to Chicaiio. New Vork, Pliiladelithiu, Boston, Indianapolis and other points. "If the railroads put lu sum.rer rates that are now under cousidora tion iu the eiiht, I pobitivtly believe the travel to this coast this year will equal, if it docs not exceed, that of last year in 1'oi tland, is the way Mr. Cox puts it. This statement, eouiinx teriously from ouo of the best informed rail road tratlie men, fresh from the mid dlo west and eastern territory, from which Oregon expects to draw inves tors, settlers and tourists this year, will surprise niout people, it is said that few realize the immense travel that will come from the east to the i'acillc coast this yeur. Mr. Cox closely observed indica tions that came within his view on the trip eaft, and his opinion is bused on personal knowJedKe of what he saw and heard. Jle says tho people who came to the Lewis and Clark fair have done an immense amount of ellective advertising lor the 1'aciilo Northwest, und not only are many of tho same people coiiiIuk back, but thousand of others whom they have told of the resources, opportunities and Koimrnl favorable conditions hero. Air. Cox saiil : '"Ihe Lewis and Clark exposition did moro for tho 1'aciilo coast than any other exposition has ever done for u country. The Louisiana Pur chase exposition was a )reat thinK for Ht. Louis. J tut it bmmlltted chielly tho city of Hi. Louis. The conditions around that city did not allow of ex tousivo rosults favorable to tho coun try, as it was already developed. Or c'Kon has all tho wealth of resources ol eastern states, and then some more. The thing lackinK is population und capital, The people of the east are at last sooliiK this fact. The railrouds are realizing that the l'ucillo North west is really the only great region romaiuinK for exploitation. They are now ii.'hiK it serious attention." Mr. Cox added that announcements might soon bo looked for from the railroads giving low summer rutes for round trips to the I'acillc coast, and that there would bean immense travel besides the colonist and tourist travel to this coast. There will be large con vention! in California and a large pro portion of tho delegates will arrange their trip to come or return via the northern routes. They want to see tho country that has boon so much tulked about in connection with the fair. Old men who have boys are in vestigating here for tho younger geu eartiou. lie met men of wealth who have no plans of their own for devel opment, but who are convinced that Oregon is the place for their sons. Kastern people who have been ao oustomud to traveling abroad aro be ginning to realize that there Is some thing to see in tho this wonderland tho I'acillc Northwest. Tho onorinom volume of railroad advertising that hsii been done and is still being car ried on exploiting this pint of the United Wales is bringing actual re sults as all good advertising will. Men with capital to invest uro seeking tho openings that are now known to exist hero for making largo profits on investments. Regarding the building Into this territory by the Northwestern line, Air. Cox says his olllcials have noth ing to say, but mills that the line he represents is going farther than usual in tho oll'ort to properly euro for the increase In North l'acillo coast trallto and that the olllctals aro dl"gontly seeking detailed inlormiit ion as to the possibilities and natural advantages. Mr. Cox has been instructed by his people to obtain promptly all statisti cal mutter possible with regard to crops and conditions, including wheat, barley, Max, fruit, hops, sugar beets, live stock, poultry and dairy ing, mining, llsheries, climate, etc,, all for incorporation in a new booklet of extensive character ou "Tim l'ucillo Northwest. "Journal. Writes About New Hospital. Hditor Clacier In as much as 1 have been at the hoHpital iu Hood Uiver, and for the reason that there are some people hero who do not know that there is a hospital here, anil others who believe that they have to be a pat lent of one of the local doc tors to gain admission to It, 1 feel it quite right t hat 1 should say a word ill support of this hospital. Tho Cottage Hospital is located ou the north side of Oak street iu what is known as the Cox residence. It was bought by Hectors Humble, Uros ius, Watt und Shaw, to be used as a hospital, iiml for which it is well mluptod. Of course it is not a model hospital such as you inigiit .expect for llfty or a hundred thousand dollars. It will only accoiiiodato from twelve to sixteen people at a time. Hut these twelve to sixteen people can be oparated on jimt us successfully and looked niter mora sucossfully here in Hood Kivor than they can by going to Portland or The OuIIoh. Tho Cottage Hospital Is supplied with hospital beds, ii sterilizing or operKting room and is healed with hot uii. It has at present two nurses, nach of whom is a graduate of the .Minneapolis City hospital, and each tins had ten years cxporloui'o in hos pitals The building has ulso hot and cold wnl r and a kitchen and pantry in the basement lull of all sorts of good things to eat. It has i f course, also a cook and a janitor. It is not necessary to gain admis sion to this hospital t In in iv' Ii one of the local doctors. ou can make your Arrangements w ith (lie matron. And if it is neccsmirv that you undergo a Hiirgical operation which you think is technical und demands an expei't,then by nil mans sei.d for the expert with the advice of your local doctor and make the expert come to you, to your own town and your own hospital. Knilroad fareco.-ts ilie doctor no moro than It does you. Ilesides you are go ing to pay a good price for the opera tion, sn he can alt'onl to pay the rail road fare, lint Ihe fare is so small that it will not betaken Into account, and if you insist on it tho doctor will be glad to come, if he liuds that you prefer to have it done at home. You aro then surrounded with you family und in touch wit h your friends and your business. This seems to nio far bettor than to pack your grip and journey olf to Portland and locuto yourself in one of tho cells of a live story hospital surrounded by Strang era who are as lndillerent to you us you aro to them. It is true that tho doctors did not invest their money lu this enterprise for the glory of it. Hut it is ut pres ent not u profitable investment for them, and if it should have to be dosed inglorious? for the lack of our patronage, it will be us much of a loss to tho community as itwill be to the doctors. I have merely said this inucii because 1 believe mat it is an enterprise deserving of our patronage. 1 believe of course that there are some cases where it is best to get medical or surgical aid elsewhere, but thoce cases aro the exception. iXZ I1'- P- FRIDAY. BENNETT FINDS ALL OREGON PROSPEROUS !A. Dennett, editor of the Irrigon rrigutor, who is ulso vice president of the Oregon Development League, and who has just completed an ex tended tour of the state in the inte' ests of Hint organization, is iu the city for the purpose of consulting with local members of the league. Mr. llennett is entliusiastio over the great awakening that has come to the entire state cs a result of the Lewis and Clark fair and ut the CouimeicisI Club yesterday gave an iutenstitg account of his trip. "My tour took me us fur east i.s Lu orando and us far sent Ii us Uorvul.ix, he said, "and, judging from what 1 saw and heard iu the various towns 1 visited, Oregon Is on the eve of the Kreutest era of development in her history. In not u town that 1 visited did 1 hear a complaint of dull times or poor business. On the contrary, everywhere 1 went 1 found the stieets full of people, the mercnuuts busy, money plenty, produce in good de mand und every honest inau welcome to credit. "Naturally 1 visited the olllces ol the country newspapers in the placet passed through, and, as everybody knows, there is no better place to get into intiuiute touch with u common ity than in the lucul eiiili r's sautum "The ciedil for this condition ol alfaiis is largely due, 1 bel eve, to the work that has been done of late l. the Oregon Development Li ague, liy bringing together i'.l comeicial bodies in all parts of the state, it is in u po sitiou to wield u wide and benellciul I n II nonce. Nearly every town of any importance iu Oregon nowadays has its commercial club or other business men's organization, and what is more to the point, ouch of these various or gauizatinus is growing and prosper ing beyond all precedent. A typical case is that of Albany, whore tho Aloo Club, deriving its name from the ini tials of Albany, Linn county, Oregon, is doing great things for the upbuild ing of the town und surrounding country. "Woodhiirn, of the valley towns, particularly Impressed me with its evident prosperity. S'lveiton, too, struck rue us a hustling, bustling place wnen 1 was there huluruiiy a week ego. All thro 'gh the valley u feeling of optimism prevails and finds warrant in the inllux of new settlers and increasing demand for farm lands. "On my wuy to the east 1 found Hood Hirer as prosperous us any com munity could hope to bo. Likewise The Dalles. On the hrunoh line lone, Lexington and ileppuer are making a splendid growth and have bright prospect. Never since the great Hood of a few years ago has lleppner displayed more business activity than at tho present time. "In my own town we are looking forward to a lug year, inasmuch us not less than IU) small tracts which were planted in fruit trees a few years ago will come Into bearing this season. Arlington, Irrigo i ami even sleepy old old Umatilla, awakened from u Kip Van Winkle nap, are deriving great b Miellt from the construction work ou the north bank road, lie ho is hum ming with prosperity and has a news paper that is a credit to the commun ity. "Pendleton is taking oucitillod airs with a business men's club which has a membership of 400 und a home equipped with a gymnasium, shower baths, billiard parlors and library. Lu (irunde is doing a big business and Hot Lake, a little further on, is ngog ovro the report that a a company of capitalists is planning to spend more than WO.OOO lu making it the Carls bad of the West. "Crop prospects in Kastern Oregon were never better, owing to the heavy fall of snow iu the mountains east ol the Cascades. " ( lliiiallc Cure.
