At the annual meeting cf tbe Hood Riv r Milling Co. Saturday afternoon, the followilug directors and offloers ware elected : T. W. Thompson, pres ident . D. Homewood, vice presi dent; O. J. Oeasling, secretary, treas urer and general manager. At tbe director's meeting in the morning a ilividend of eight per cent on tbe capital stock was declared. Tbe report of Manager Qessllng showed that the net earning of tbe company for tbe past year waa 18.6 per cent. Tbe balance over tbe amount paid as a dividend went into the surplus. Mr Ueesling' report makes a fine bowing for tbe company. They ban died 14,000,000 pounds of stock, or 268 cars of an average of 27 tons eaoh. They manufactured and sold 21,878 barrels of their famous Cupid brand of flour. Tbey paid in wages to Hood River people 110,250.80. While grain has been higher than for many year, yet they have made low price to tbe consumer, and still made nearly 20 per oent on tbeir Investment. Why Import When We Can Produce. Strange conditions find their way into Oregon Industry. At many a vi tal point arrangements are out of gear. Some of them of late have been pointed out in these oolumn. Ihere are others. g Here is the statement made at the not sery men's meeting at Salem that eight carloads of oanned strawberries of this season' paok have been im ported from other states into Oregon. The known fact that the best straw berries in tbe world e prodnoed in Oregon, and the further admitted fact that Oregon has simply unlimited power ot soli and olimate to produce strawberres, make of this faot a carious comment on Oregon enter prise. Why were Oregon strawberries not grown to meet this demand, why did not Oregon oapital and Oregon labor oan them, and why were they not sold to Oregon consumers under Oregon labelsT Would we not hav saved middlemen' profits? Would we have not saved tbe freight? Would not the money sent as profit of pro duction and manufacture to grower and canning establishments in other states have been saved and paid to grower and canning concern in Ore gon? If we go on holding the soil and failing to use it; if we go on lolling in a heritage of piodigality tint na ture gave ua and never utilize it, if we forever let others produoe what we should and buy of ua what we can better and more obeaply sell to then, how oan we prosper, and how mak Oregon attain tbe Oregon that the state for her powers of climate and soil deserves to be? Where are men who are seeking opportunity? Wber is enterprise tbit is enterprise? Portland Journal Dont Be Bine and lose all interest when help is with in reach.

Last Sunday tha enthusiastic fan rrora, mm pretty, city of Ooldendala, from our neighboring state aero the Colombia 90 strong, inelodiag the Uoidandal baseball tsam, sworped down upon a for tbe purpose of "taking oar baseball aealpa." Tbe xoursion was under tbe management of the genial gentleman from aaid elty, Mr. Brooke, a prominent attor ney and an enthusiastic fan. The game was called at a quarter of three. Again Hood River wins. . The game waa full of excitement and eatbeul am. 1 be soor was mora larger (ban It should have been owing to ragged play log on both side, with more r rors made by Uoldendale than by Hood River. Only two hit were mad off of Ua.t, the Hood River pilcber. Tbi yoong man 1 developing rapidly Into a first eias pitcher. He has pitched seven game for u tbi year, winning all, and four game for Mb Hood, all of which he won. John Oaatner baa caught him in all tbe Hood River game and ia largely re sponsible for the young man's auooaaa a a pitoher. Of coors two men oan not play tbe gam Hood River baa a fait team, the beat she baa ever had. In last Sunday' game Captain Sheet was very fast. All tbe boy did good woik and have in all tbe game. It wa . a disputable point when time was called, whether Hood River would be able to win out, owing to Luokey and Baker, two of our best player balng absent. These boys promised to be at tba gam and should have been, and we lav it from tba manager, Mr. Henderson, that tbi - delinquency should not have haoDeaedj.. Mr. Hen derson i managing this team for tbe glery of Hood River and to advertise tbe town and valley, and be believes mat every player should do hi doty, and aaortrloe hi personal feeling for the good of ihe community. Hebe, lieve that these to boy will take tbi lecture in the way in whlob it ia Intended, and hereafter be punctual in attendance, or at leaat inform him before hand. The attendance waa discouraging to the players, Ooldendale furnished nearly one-half of tbe audience. Next Monday will be the game between Hood River and White Salmon, and will be a test of tbe interest tbe com munity Is taking in tbe borne team. If there Is not a good and sufficient audience at this next game, tbe man agement uy tbat it will Ibe tba last game of the season. When the boy give up tbeir every Snnday to play, and the management devote ao much time, tbe least tbat tbe people of Hood River and valley can do is to get out and patronize the toy. Of oourse there are tbe sure number of enthusiast who attend every gams, but with less than an attendance of three hundred, there I nothing In it for tbe boy wbo do tbe playing. Tweti'y per oent of tbe gat receipt go to tbe ground, tbea com out tbe expense of tbe visiting gam and all incidental expense of the game, tbe balance to be divided among tbe play era. : A movement ia now on font to raise a purse to hire tbe local battery. Hart and Castner, leaving more to go to tbe other seven player Too much cannot be aaid in praise ot William Sheets, captain and local manager. All tbe grmea this year have been played by the Hood River boy, un der his management, in a gentlemanly and excellent manner.! , There has been no rowdyism and no drinking among the Hood River boy. lOor team deserve praise and tbe support ot the sommonUy. Nov let, every one wbo oan, get out to the game next Sunday and prove to tbe boy tbat Hood River appreci ate what tbe club la doing, beoause tbe next game will be tbe last game for tbe season unless the attendance is better than it was last Sunday.

OZARK-WILD ROSE The following are genuiue argumeuts, conservative reasons, why an investment in Orark stock is both conservative and wise. 1st. The Company is organised by mining engineer and metallurgists, ; technically trained and with wide experience. 2nd. The company is organised 'under non-a8fable laws, shares are fully paid and non-UHwseablo and so stated iu the certificates. Srd. The Company owns and 0rates twogrrat properties, either one of which it worth the entire capitalisation of the Company. 4th. The properties are not prospects; loth are proven and developed, and with ore reserve that guarantee the success of the Company and the aafety of the investment. 6th. The Treasury Fond was originally 1,000,000 shares out of a total of 1,500,000 share. The properties are developed and when equipped about 600,000 share will remain In the treasury as a reserve fund. 6th. Only about 900,000 shares will participate in the earnings from both properties. That issue would be very conservative for either property alone. 7th. The Company is neariog the dividend stage. The years of work and worry and wailing are passed. The properties are proven and divi dend are assured when equipment is installed. 8th. The Company has ore bodies b'ocked out to operate a 50-ton mill for nearly three years continuously and at a profit of from $15,000 to $25,000 . per month. The Ozark Group has over $L,50,000 worth of ore In sight, and the .Wild Kose over $500,000 worth. $1.00 in sight for every i-sued share. 9th. If the equipment was to be installed to mill ores now in sight, and that being done abandon the property, Ozark fitm-k would still be a good and wise Investment. Enormous ore bodies are assured, possibilities are now beyond comprehension. 10th. .Only a comparitively small sum, for the necessary equipment, stands between the shareholders and dividends. Stock ia now being sold fur the purpose of equipment and with tbat equipment installed Ozark share will sell for many times the present price. 11th. The Company has no salaried officers. Wage are paid only for actual work doue at the mine. The Company possesses a wide range of ex pert mining knowledge in it organization, and require no high-priced ex perts to direct operations. Interested knowledge is the best knowledge. 12th. The officers of the company have backed up their expert Judg ment by investing their own money. Quick work, economical work, and productive work can be depended upon. 13tb. The properties have been examined by many mining engineers and alwas with the one result, a strong recommendation for deep devel opment and large equipment. The Company believes they possess two of the greatest and richest gold mines in the Htate of Idaho. 14th. The Ozark proposition is the biggest, the quickest, and the best mining opportunity offered in years. The actual assets of the Company make an investment now a genuine bargain. Ozark shares are actually worth $1.00. 1 16th. Ozark represents the highest form of legitimate mining enter prise: great properties, developed mine, known values, expert manage ment. It ia by investment in such enterprises that fortunes are made. A good mine ia a royal pa; master, invest in Ozark, put your name on the payroll. , To say that Ozark looks ii.xid and then lay it aside and neglect it is to forfeit a great opportunity. Incomes, fortunes, are not gained by good judgment only, it is necessary to do something, to fortify your good judg ment with your resources. The Ozark proposition must aial to you a extraordinary, as an in vestment opportunity in legitimate mining seldom equalled. But to get your name on the payroll you must act on your good judgment. An invest ment in Ozark is something to be proud of. Big results from small invest ments will surely iollow. Only a small amount of stock Is to be sold, and your opportunity is past. Do it today. Get your name on tbe Ozark payroll. Invest for divi dends. Sincerely, M. F. EMMETT Office.
