Let ua make I be beat cirninunity in Oregon. Come to Hood River, tbe valley if opportunities " V. W. Cottou, of tbe O. R & N., waa not on tbe program, but respond ed to tbe invitation of tbe obairmao. "I was naked to talk because I am tbe only farmer present," said Mr. Cot tou. "1 am aorry every time I come to Hood Kiver. First, because I don't ootne oftener and second, be cause I did not buy laud wben I came bere fifteen year ago. In 1893 1 looked at 150 aorea ot land which I could bve bought cheap, but did not purohase. I have never seen tbe land sinoe because 1 figure i have lost about 1150,000 by nut buying it, and 1 don't waut to bring on auoh an un pleasant memory. I went out near Portland and bought 180 aores of land. I bope some tlmi to sell that land as city lots and will then be able to bay about 20 acres in Hood River. 1 have been raiding potatoes on my land and by honesty in putting on tbe market a first-class article 1 am able to get 10 cents a caok nioie than any otber po tato raised in my district. I took all prizes but three at the fair. Ibis extra 10 cants a sack is lUper cent in terest on $100 in ud Vour apples are: letter tbau otber apples. Honesty in I I'HOk is tbe maiu thing. There ia no belter indioition that common hon esty pays. You have planted a better cr ip. You have just voted bonds to build a new school. You tan add more to tbe value of your property by educational forces than anything else. E Ideational featutea and churches will add to tbe value of the oomrnun it;. The large far i s, owiug to their high value, must be out up Ibe farm work on small places will attract peo pte. What we waut is more common, decent honesty In public affairs. Iba legislature paseeslaas t j appease one bait tbe people and tbe executives at 3 obarged with enforcing them to appease tbe otber half No railroad objects to regulation or the stoppage of rebates. 1 don't believe In thorn. There is no merit in them. Ibe peo ple should be treated all alike. Like your apples tbe bottom should be eaual to 'be top and aound all the way tbrongb. I bope sometime to i lise from potatoes to apples." K. W. Wilson's toplo waa "Hood River County as Seen from tbe East. " Mr. Wilson said that old Wasco ooun ty felt bad to part from ber children, to sena them oa. into tbe world, but it was tbe law ot nature Wasco co.nty formerly repreee ted all tbe territory of tbe Oregon country west of tbe Rocky mountains. From time to ime she bad boon asked to give up a part ot ber territory and now she wai asked to give ber choicest jewel Hood Kiver county. "I canuot apeak for all tbe people of Tbe Dalles, but ean apeak (or tome of ber best citi zens, wbo oor.o de to you Hood Rlvtr couuty. (Prolouged applause.) I look forward to ibe time wben law yers can evece to your court bon e and apeak the truth i wish all of you and liood Kiver county Uod speed." A. A Jayne reap nded to tbe toat-t, "liood Kiver Conoty " Referring to tbe remarks of Mr. Wilson be said tbat be was glad to koow that there were etill ise men in the east "All part iu are uo agred thtt Hood River ooun'.y li hu aooimpli-bed taot " aaid Mr. Jayne. "Oue of tie pleasantest thing about it is tbat It is to be dime with tbe bea'ty good will of oar peorle in Ibe Dalles. Frieudahi jb have been a'.ral. el here tofore and this voluntary at tie on tbe part ot The Dalles will d i ruucb jz? F1 stilx X tu heal tbe eld scores. We have been entitled to the couuty for some tixe and uow ill are apparently well satis Bed. A county organization is noth ing more than a political oouveni eooe. We should have it. Now a few words as to tbe course wo have pur sued. Many people do not understand tbe reaauu lor taking up tLe initia tive. Heretofore counties could be created by legislative assemblies. This Is now impossible, as they can only be created under tbe piotisioos of a geueral law aud there is no such law on tbe statute books. Under the initiative the people have thr right t create corporations for any purr. Wa Lute availed ourselves of that o diticu and will tubmit the matter n. tbe whole state. We believe thi t long aa Wasco county ia 'atisfled liie whole state will grant the petition. Whe:i Hood River county is created we will have a model county. It will be small and be run at small expeuse. Prosperity does net depend on terri tory, bat moral tone. We will have less expense and fewer crimes We believe that tbe people wiil vote 'yes' on Hood Kiver couuty." "Citizenship in Community Build log" was the subject ' f a speech by II. M. Cake. Mr. Cake abbreviated bis remarks owing to the lateness ot the bour. but hU remarks were to tbe point and listened to with attention. "You have a Commercial Club which is a credit to Hood River," said Mr. Cake. "It is a great power. Growth aud development are due to civic pride and - co-operative effort. The efforts of tbe Commercial Club is of a practical kind and brings results. 1 understand you are figuring ou a building. Let me say one word on tbat line i believe tbut a building erected iu tbe iutnrest of the com- mouity n.uli be one ot the best things tbat could be dune. You have been told of your greatuees. until you should be satisfied You will always have more to do. Put up la building thai will inter eat all if the people, lucre ise ti.o size of your club and uuite town wrjil valley It will do mure than ar tiling else to develop the community. If you are disposed to put up a building, let every mem ber tako bold tit it. Do bh we did iu Porllmd put up a building. When our bjuie was destroyed we got to gether and raised funds to put up a building, end it will cost $350,000. It has dune more thau anything else in Portland tu bring the people together. It is a lurt or in developing tbe state and making ot it a great common wealth. Oregon will soon be the be state iu tbe Union. For jeai we were looked upon as of uo moment. Now everything centers about tbe Cotnmeicial Club of Portland. Get together aud start your oemmeroial olub building. It wiil be an honor to llnod Kiter aud an honor to the state." E U Shpard --poke ou "Better Ap ples." tie said iu part: "Tbe output of fruit in California is greater than wheat i r gold, being $75, 000, W0. In Oregon tbe geld output is now thirty millions; tueat. fifteen millions; dairy (ifteeu millions; fruit, i little over l.'ur uLd a qaarter millions.

We tbank Portland and our friends wbo want us to do better. Hood Kiver ia ever ready to advertise Ore gon in a publicity way, both by ad vertising and contributing loads " John Leland Henderson responded to the toast of "Hood River's Com merce Outlets," and lead tba memor ial to Congress passed by tba com meroial club and city council asking Congress for an appropriation to dredge the channel of tbe Columbia river. "Thirty-eight yaara ago next spring I traveled as purser on tbe steamer Idaho. There waa no outlet to coma er re at tbat time in Oregon exoept tbe rivers. There were no railruads exoept a few branches wbieb started nowhere and weut oowue.e. Hood River waa only a lauding place for boats. Later tbe O. K.

This neglect permits the disease to inflame the Mucus Membrane and may affect the nose, throat, lungs, stomach, bowels or bladder.
