If all tba money apeak fot Cbriat
maa giita were left witb bom ruer
obanta, it would mean tbe addition
of olerke in every atore, more money
left at borne, more money apent for
improvements, and an Increase
busineasa and prosperity for every
one. There are many enterpriaea in
uood ttiver ready to be ataited, or
wbiob have already been commenced,
tbat will tall for aaaistanoa among tbe
business men and farmera. Buildings,
roads, enterpriaea for tbe good of tbe
community, all (will be asking help
from tbe buBineaa man. Help him
bear tbeae buidena by apending yon
money witb bim for tbe luxurlea and
neoesaitlea of life. If be doea not
bave wbat you want, be will be will
log to get it for you. At least give
bim tbe obanoe. Tbe man whe aenda
bia money to the mall order and oata
logue houiea abould not ask favora
from tbe home merohant to build at
enteroriaee for tbe town, xoada for tbe
country, or butineaa for himaelf

lines to secure reasonable prices, and
you i.uu buy aa cheaply at borne at

A water grade from tbe oity to tbe
upper valley, aa a publlo highway, la
doing atrongly advocated, and Is
necessity. Tbe item of hauling load
up the mountain roads la h prob.em
that demands attention, and when a
grnde can be out out, It la worth con
4ideratioo. While the bulk of the
hauling la from tbe country to the
city, and it la mostly down hill
haul, yet both east and west roads
have sevoral up gradei which have to
be considered n making up a load.
Coining from tbe Odoll oountry tbe
leng Davidson bill ia a big item In
considering the capacity of a load
which cau be taken to town with one
tum. A water grade along Iiood rlv
er would cut out all thla hill. In go
lug fiom the oity to the Pine Drove
or Odell oountrv, tbe grade would b
ao gradual aa to materially lessen tbe
distance aa far aa time la conoerned
f rom the mouth of Neal oreek tbe
road could be continued to Tucker's
bridge, connecting with tbe three
roads at tbat plaoe, and a road up
Neal oreek would oome out by the old
Harbison mill. Continuing up the
oreek it would join tbe county road
near the Stanton place, and oonneot
with the new road being built up tbe
oreek to the Alt. Hood loouolry. AH
the heaviest grade In tbe valley
would be practically eliminated wheie
this trunk road oould be reaobed. It
Is a piojeot that baa considerable
merit, and abould be pushed through.
The importance of a new Commer
Dial club building, embraolng aa it
doea a permanent fruit fair quartera,
a home fcr tbe club wbioh will be
commodioua, homelike and pleasant,
and also of a first-class opera house,
cannot be overestimated. Tbe build
ing in all ita phases Interests all class
es of people. Good locations are be
coming soaroe In Uood Elver. The
looatloo seleoted for.thla bull ling Is
Ideal for tbe main purposes for wbiob
the building will be erected. The
time has oome when a fruit fair
ahould be held every year. It has coat
$500 to ICOO each time a fair was held
to erect temporary quaitera, and no
ground rent paid. If this amount was
paidtiwarda a permanent, quarters,
it could be fixed up permanently foi
tbat purpose, aud tbe location secured
for all time. A fruit fair Is tbe beat
advertisement Hood River ever put
out. A proves an attraotlon whlob
visitors oome many miles to see, while
the exhibition of Hood Klver's prod
uct proves to the homeseeker who
happens to be here at tbe time tbat
we raise all that we claim to do. Such
a building would alao provide a suits
ble place for entertainments, conven
tions and publlo meetings. The borne
of the Commercial club could be made
to embrace social features wbiob
would be appreciated by tbe club
tuonibera aud add largely to the mem
bership. It would be a oonveuleut
place for tbe farmer to spend an af
ternoon, for tbe business man to meet
hit friends, aud for the atranger with
iu our Kates to be made weloome. It
will be quite an undertaking to talse
funds for the building, but when it is
built it will be a paying proposition,
and the money paid for ita ereotion
will be an investment aud not a con
tribution. It will take a long list of
subscribers to raise tbe requited
amount, but if we all help, it oan eaa
ily be doue. Wheu you are approached
by tbe committee do your part.

stand back of every article they sell and
of every statement they make.
SESOLVED: That I will buy where I will be treated in
a co rteous and businesslike manner.
RESOLVED: That I will buy where they have a large
stock to select from.
RESOLVED: That 1 will buy where I can get the best
