Tb great state of Orefron can
not dm its publlo funds to better ad
vantage than anlarglog, equipping
and endowina tbe university at &u-

David II. Moore,
Bishop of Oregon, Metbodiat Kplsoo-
pal Ubarob:
DETRIMENTAL TO THE STATE.
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.

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. Moro Observer.
