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

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."

John Leland Henderson responded
to the toast of "Hood River's Com

Congress for an appropriation to
dredge the channel of tbe Columbia

Droduoe to market. In a few veara
we will bave 115,000.000 boxes ot ap

amount to two train loads day for

There are tliOManuds of people who
suffer with Catarrh, but do little or no
thing to remove the dread disease. This
neglect permits the disease to inflame
the Mucus Membrane and may affect
the nose, throat, lungs, stomach, bowels
or bladder. Cold aggravates Catarrh
and if allowed to become chronic it leada
to Bronchitis and also to Consumption.
Fully forty per cent of the deaths in
America are from diseases of the air
