It la sufficient to my own mind that the defeat of tbe Unlvera lty of Orncron annronriatlon bill would be detrimental, not only to many ot tbe Individual! who denire to avail tbem salves ot tbe advantages ot theonlver alty, bat no etate baa any better indi cator of tue quality ot lis population tbau the degree of excellence shown in iti eduaational Institutions, and the moHt desirable claaa of Immigra tion, whlob etfoita are being made to attract bere, oannot be brought to Oregon without auob iuatitutioni are liberally maintained. Theo. D. Wilonx, Portland, Oregon. A 00LLO8AL BLUNDER. Oregon baa made one oollosal blunder lo her eduoational aff alra let ua hope that ibe may not make anoth er. The paucity ot our publlo school fund la due to poor judgment Id tbe disposal of our acbool lands; to de teat the university appropriation would be an equally grievous blunder, equally disastrous to tbe educational interests of our state. James Wlthyoombe, Director Oregon Experiment Station, Uoivallla, Oregon. MISFORTUNE TO THE STATE. I think that an adverse vote on the University of Oregon appropri ation would be about the worst mis fortune that could possibly happen to the state. E. E. Uiagg, School Supt. Union County. A GRAVE MISTAKE. Considering the many Inquiries we have at this otlloe as to tbe educa tional facilities in this state, and also considering how far west we are, and the consequent feeling east of the lack of educational facilities heie, I beg to aay that the failure to uphold the University of Oregon would be a grave mistake. Ed. C. Oiltner, Secretary Portland Chamber ot Com merce, Portland, Oregon. CALAMITY TO TUE STATE. I believe that an adverse vote upon tbe University ot Oregon appro priation bill would te a leal oaltuilty to tbe state. There is no greater work to be done by tbe state tbau to educate properly Its youug men and young women. Better neglect some material things tbau to negleot the proper development of the mind and character of tbe future citizens of Oregon. After a careful persounl Investiga tion of tbe situation at Eugene 1 am fn most heartily In faror ot tbe appro nrlation. Peisonally, I believe erer; one that la thoroughly interested tbe future ot Oregon will vole lo fa vor of the appropriation. J. Wbitcomh Hrougber, Pastor First Baptist Church, Port land, Oregon. UNJUSTIFIABLE PARSIMONY. In mv opinion, tbe defeat of the University of Oregon appropria tion bill would do more to uegative our oiaim to being a progressive state than any other step In puono policy now before tbe people; that In years to come it would be looked upon as a backward step and an act of parti mony absolutely unjustifiable.

STRAWBERRIES Everybody knows that the Hood River Fruit Growers Unions are the oldest and most successful ones in the business. They stand as models hundreds of visitois from other fruit districts come here to see how our unions are run, and dozens of districts have sent for our constitution and by-laws. Nearly all the unions and fruit associations are modeled after Hood ltiver. Hood River stands alone at the top as the peer of all fruit sections for its fancy fruit, its superb climate and its splendid unions. 15ut why are our unions successful. Because they are well run; because they belong to the grower; because they get the highest prices for fruit and the union deducts no profit, only charging the grower the actual expense of doing the business. The phenomiual success of the Hood River fruit Unions in addition to our soil and climate has been the most important factor in our midst in filling our valley with prosperous people and building beautiful homes. The fame of our unions and the prices they realized have added 50 to the value of orchard lands. Do you want to get and continue to get high prices? Do you want to see our famous Hood River Valley continue to progress in the future with the same rapid strides she has in the past? If you do ship your Strawberries with HOOD RIVER FRUIT GROWERS UNION You must support the Union if you want it here. SPRING SUITS Have Arrived And are loudly applauding themselves in our West window.

H. M. Abbott, J, li. Osborne, D. Mo Donald and A. A. Jsyne were ap pointed a committee to look after tbe interests of Hood River county. Store the Energy. One of our Sherman county sub scribers living in Denmark ia doiog a land office business in windmills through an experience acquired dor lug bis residence bere. Denmark is a low country, fylng between two aeaa, and baa plenty ot wind which it la utilizing on a scale never before equaled. Wlu mills have been In use from time memorial, for pumping wa ter and grindlug grain, but by stor ing power tbe bunlcane'a surplus en ergy Is doing duty In daya of calm by converting wind power into eleotrio ity and equalizing ita use through the storage battery, a trick that even Sherman county might adopt with profit. It la stated that a wind of fifteen wiles an hour will pioduoe an eight horse power and a 20-mile gale will develop eighteen home pow er. As tbe power ot many wind mills can be concentrated and made to stitve a single plant, there la iuUoito possibility in tbia resource in any section Uefscd with frequent winds ot considerable force.
