ELECTRIC ROAD
HAY BE BUILT
MOUNT HOOD ITS OBJECTIVE POINT
Sentiment There In Favor of It and
Committee Will Confer
With Promoters.
A meeting was held at Mount Hood
last Saturday to determine the eenti
meat of the residents there lu regard
to tbe propoaed eleotrio road which it
is proposed to build from this city to
that point
The meeting was held in the Mount
Hood ball, about 10 persons were iu
attendance. A number of ffeutlerueu
from this city repreHeutiuK the pro
moters of the road were in attend
ance. O. M. WlshHrt, president of
the Mount Hood Development LeKgue
was chairman of the meeting.
Tbe proposition as first made was to
bave the residents of that section do
nate land to tbe company, but after
diosuasius tbe matter it was decided
that tbe better plan would be to issue
bonds. Another mooting will be held
at Mount Hood next Buturday when a
committee will be appointed to confer
with the promoters of the read,
- It Is understood tbat Portland enpi
tal is behind this enterprise and that
it has been under consideration for a
long tme. One of tbe prime movers
in the building of the road is said to
be tbe Stanley-Smith Lumber Com
pany. In a short time the big mill of
this company will be put in full oper
atiou and will be able to cut, if worked
to its fullest capacity, in a 24 hour
day from from 2f0,0(JO to IWO.OOO feet
of lumber. Tbe facilities for getting
this immense amount of lumber to tbe
railroad at present are inadequate and
the eleotrio road it built would have
a apur running from the main line to
the mill. A local enigneer who has
been over the ground seveial times,
over wbiob the new road would run,
says that the distance to be traversed
by a railroad from here to Mount
Hood would be about sitxeen miles.
Tbe most practicable and shortest
route for the lnmber company . to the
O. 14. & N. would be a point some
where near V ion to aud it is suid that
If tbe road is built a spur will leave
the line aud strike for tbe railroad
before it reaches this city. Ou this
part of the road it will be uecuMStiry
to build a switchback to got over the
mountains but will give the lumber
road a more direct route. 1 tetter
yards, It Is said, onu be secured ut
this point for storing lumber and more
convenient facilities for loading it
tban can be had at Hood River.
Tbe Dart of the road from flood
River would swing out through the
western part of town aud on out
through tbe valley, over a route that
has not been decided ou; Htforts are
being made to have tbe lumber road
brought here and yards for it eHtab-
lisbed iu tbe western part of towu
whore it is said tlierejs ample room.
Tbe cost of tbe new enterprise has
not yet been defluateiy determined
and ou it hangs tbe possibility of its
being built. There are a number ot
serious engineering problems in con
nection with tbe proposed road aud
tbe amount of capital required will be
oonsiderutble. The elf orts of the com
pany aie expected to be mot with as
sistance in its undertaking and the
oitizens of Mount Hood bave ex
pressed themselves as willing to help
the project.
If tbe road Is built the erection of a
hotel near Lost Lake is said to lie one
of tbe features iu view for the attrac
tion of tourists aud visitors on sight
seeing expeditions.
Came In Bunches.
Uoldendale, March 5. Dear Kditor
You may print this if you like.
Some timoago a C'eiiterville man whb
wakened at night to Unci his wife
weeping uncontrollably.
"My darling," be said iu distress,
"what is tbe matter?"
'A dream I" she gasped. "I have
bad such a horrible dream."
He begged her to tell it to hitn in
order that he might comfort her.
After long persuasion she hs induced
to do so.
"I thought I was walking down the
street and I came to a ware house
where there was a large rilncard,
"Hdbands for sale." Vou could get
beautiful ones for 11,600 or even fur
)1,200, and very nice ones for as low
as nJ."
The husband asked innocently,
"Did yon see any tbat looked like
me?"
The sobs became strangling.
'Dozens of them," gasped- the wife,
'done tip in bunches like asparagus
and sold for 10 cents a bunch, '

Killing of Valuable Ilnga..
Kditor Olaoier: Kindly allow me
spaoe in your valuable paper for a few
lines directed to tne citizens or tun
oommunity.
If there is any mau who doservei
tbe utmost contempt of the commun
ity, it is he who will fgnoiiiinoiiHly as
sault a puppy dog without au osten
si We reasou. Hut experience has just
ly proven bow easy it is to technically
prove tbe ignorance or sucu a scouii
diel.
Hags are generally regarded as
worthless brutes by the inconsiderate,
and are unfeelingly cared for,' ill
treated and ill fed. Vet, not with'
standing, technically considered they
are of the most valuable animals on
earth. Tbey bave frequently ren
dered, by vol mtary action, tbe most
valuable service to man. Tbey have
saved multiplied thousands from
drowning, imperiled their lives to
save people from freezing aud saved
families from tbe force of the uplift
ed band of the assassin. About six
months ago , Mr. King advertised in
tbe (Jlacier four valuable pups for
sale. 1 purchased one of them for my
wife. In a short time be developed in
to a beautlft dog of marked ability.
He soon became tbe most friendly and
afieotlonate animal I ever saw. We
taught bim to be watchful aud be
readily installed himself in the home
a guardian, and protected or of Mis,
Ostrander. and she became greatly at
tacbed to the little fellow and bis
company waa much appreciated
One afternoon I went out to shoot a
hawk In a tract of timber. Tbe puppy
ran after a rabbit over tbe bill to a
man's baiu. Ha lingered a tew mo
ments to tiud the rabbit. Soon tbe
man of the house appeared gnu in
hand. The little dog ran toward bim,
thinking he came out to assist bim
lu Retting the rabbit. But instead,
ho tired four times, klh'ing the dog.
During tbe time 1 was about tweuty
rods away, calling Hist to tbe dog and
then to the man, eutreatiug bim not
to kill my dog. When he saw the dog
was dead, be caught him up and car
ried bim in the house. I followed to
the man's door, waiting for bim to
appear and explain. Also, I wanted
the dog to give him a burial, but the
contemptible wrtecb was iu biding.
The dog had never injured him to
the value of one cent and for tbat
matter uo one else. Then why did he
shoot my dog? I know but one cause.
The dog was watchful and if a prow
ler came around at night he would
give us warning Last year we lost
about 50 fowls. Tbe dog was valuable
to us aud $o0 would not bave been an
equivalent for him. Respectfully,
A. Ostrauder.
Judge Take's (iiialinYatlon.
. No mau in Oregon Is better qualified
to represent tho interest of this state
than H. M. Cake of Portland, candi
date for United States Senator. Mr.
Cuke has been an active leader, during
tbe past few years, In tbe movement
to removB jealous feelings between
diil'erent portions of the state, and it
is to him, more man any otner one
man, that Oregon is indebted for the
reseut policy recently maguraiea lor
the up-buliding of our natural re
sources.
Oregou is sure to make gigantic
strides iu the next few years, when
great questious effecting its growth
and development are certain to rise.

A Card.
To the voters of Wasoo county:
The impression has gone out among
voters, that a vote for me, if nominat
ed for the otiice to which I aspire,
would be a vote agaiust Hon. K U
Smith if he is nominated for Senator.
I have signed statement No. 1, thoie-
by pledging my sacred honor, if elect
ed, to vote In the legislature for the
peoples' choice for senator. No mat
tor whether the caadldate is a Demo
crat, Hepubllcan, Prohibitionist,
Socialist or any other party If he gets
the highest vote iu the state the mem
ber signing statement No. 1, is bound
to vote for him. The direct primary
law gives the people tbe privilege of
electing senators. If faithfully carri
ed out we w'll need uo constitutional
aineudamnut and national politics is
viitually abolished in the state legis
lature. Men cau be elected : lu tne
state legislature upon their individual
views regarding ' questions tbat con
cern the people of the state,- without
regard to their polities lu national
allHlrs.
We have the direct prmary law let
us hold fust to that which is good.

The Merits of the Mule.
The average farmer of the Northwest
probably Is not aware of the fact that
an average mule adls for 110 per head
mote than horses. Suon is tne case.
aud the price has been gradually ris
ing for a number of years.
There has never been wnat would
bo called an over production of mules
while tbe market has often been un
abl to fully supply the trade.
The ability ot tbe mules to end me
great heat bas brought It into most
general use in tbe Southern states,
where large farms are devoted entire
ly to raising them.
Tbe mule matures more qulomy man
tho borse, and oan be placed ou tbe
market from one to two Jyears sooner
than tho average horse; this ni cutis a
largo profit to the producer and quiok
er returns for the investment.
A well fed mulo can be worked at
two years of age with safety, if proper
judgment is exercised by the driver.
Ibey are much less nervous tnan a
borse, thus not so liable to accident
or blemish. A blemish that would
make a fine horse unsaleable would
take but a trifle from the price of a
initio. They sell simply for tho work
they seem able to do rather than for
their appearance. The mule buyer
carries bis measuring stick i nd gives
probably .ri above the regular price
for eaob Inch the young mule meas
ures above four feet at wnaniug time.
Large herds of 50 and 100 are safely
koiit in a small inclosure. Ibey are
less subject to disease than horses,
when kept in larKe numbers. Acci
dent rarely occurs while tbe mule is
being btoke, because tbey always stop
when in danger of being hurt. Much
less care is exorcised than with the
care of horses, yet one seldom boos a
mule blemished by accident.
The grain ration for tbe mule Is
much less thau that required for tbe
borse: this is quite an Item to be con
sidered with the present high prices
or grain.
We bave bad a large export trade
for .mules besides tbeii use in the
Southern plantations, says Live stock
Journal. Large numbers will be used
each year iu the construction of the
1'auamaUaual aud good prices may be
expected for some time to come.

MORE CAPITAL
FOR HOOD RIVER
NEW COMPANY WILL INVEST HERE
Expect to Put 825,000 la Fruit
Lands and. Will Send Expert
to Locate It.
Some time this week a representa
tive of a new fruit company whiob has
been organized at Denver will arrive
at Hood Kiver and inspect the valley
with the Intention ot locating fruit
land. If suitable land can be found
it is the expectation of the company
to invest ?i"),000 In it and develop It.
One of the men interested in the en
terprise is E. A. Cooper, sou of Dr.
Cooper of this city.
Associated with bim are other men
who have faith in tbe future of Hood ,
River and tbey are sending a man
here who is an expert in the fruit
business to locate a fruit ranch for the
oompany.
Indications this spring point to the
fact that there will tie more money
put into land aud industrial improve
ments here this yeai than in any sim
ilar period in the history of this local
ity. Several hundred acres of land
which has been purchased in the
Mouut Hood country will be either all
or partially developed during tbe
ooming year by individuals or com.
pan is who are relying on transporta
tion facilities, which are now in oper
ation or which are expected to be by
the time their orchards come into
bearing.
' The development is not confined to
one district but extends pretty gener
ally all over the valley. A number of
projects which are nuder way but can
now be announced will mean tbe ex
penditure of a good many thousanda
of dollars in improving and develop
ing new orchards. Land that baa
been thought unlit and unadapted to
apple growing la being reclaimed and
put in shape for settiug trees and the
cheaper grade trees aie beiag grubbed
out and standard varieties set in their
places.
The apple crop of this year should
exceed that of last season by a goodly
sum as there are many trees that will
reach the bearing age this year and
will bave a paitial crop. In fact It ia
said that more trees will come into
being this year than at any protons
time, and that most all of them
ate of the higher priced varie
ties. Experience la demonstrating
that the best commercial orchard is
tho one in which there are the fewest
varieties and Newtowna and Spitzen
berga are conceded to be the best pay
ing apples tbat yet have been found.
Hotter in (gating facilities are being
provided on both tbe east and west
sides. The new ditch of the Hood
Kiver Irrigating District when com
pleted will furnish a supply tbat has
loug been needed and the proposed
Improvements to tbe plant of tbe
Farmers' Irrigating Company will give
growers in that section a better supply
than it has heretofore had aud with
other water supplies being developed
the valley will soon be in a better con
dition in this regard than it baa ever
been.
The price of apple land baa increased
to a very high figure during the past
year and some very fancy pi ices bave
won offered for some of tbe fruit
farms In tbe valley. Five hundred
dollars an acre has been refused by
several owners of orchards and there
are many others that oould not be
bought for twloe tbat sum.
A Vindication for Dr. l'leree.
A verdict has been rendered in favor
of the plaintiff in the libel suit brought
against the Ladies Home Journal (pub
lished by the Uurtia rubiuming to.) oy
the World's Dispensary Medical Asso
ciation, ol which Dr. B. V. Pierce is
President. The suit was brought by
Doctor Pierce against the Curtis Pub
lishing Co.. for making false statements
about one of his standard family med
icines known as Dr. Pierce's tavorlte
1'rescription. In the May number of
the Ladles' Home Journal (1904), Mr.
Kdward Hok, the editor, staled that Dr.
Pierce' Favorite Prescription contained
alcohol and some other harmful ingre
dients, and Dr. l'leree had in tho action
illeged that the defendant malciously
lublistied this article containing such
also and defamatory matter, Dr.
Pierce further claimed that no alcohol
is or ever was contained in his "Favor
ite Prescription," that said medicine
waa a vegetable preparation ana con
tained no deleteiious ingredients what
ever; that Mr. lioK's statement pre
tending to give some ol tne ingredients
of said medicine, was wholly and 'abso
lutely false. During the trial, tne Viae-
I. f.i . . - ,i. v l.ii- , :

Medical Association stated, that the In
gredients of Dr. Pierce' Favorito Pres
cription were extracted from the follow
ing roots: uoiden neai, uine ionosn,
Lady's Slipper, Black Cohosh and Uni
corn, by means of pure glycerine. He
was askeu now he knew as a pnysician
and experienced medical man, that the
"Favorite i'rcBcription" waB a cure lor
diseases peculiar to women, such aa
amenorhea, diBinenorrliea. ante-version,
retroversion, and he stated that he knew
such was the fact because of his pro
fessional experience and the many thou
sands of women whose ills had been
cured by this "Prescription." The
Vice-President, being asked to give his
authorities, read from the standard
works, such as ttie United Mates Ills
pensatory, The American D.spensatory
and many other standard medical books.
The retraction printed by ttie tJurtis

the libelous statement appeared and
