Chamberlain In answer to bis clroolar letter of May 20: Now, Geoige, yon Mem to think, or t least you seem to want aa to think, tbat yon, being Democrat, can serve oa Kepnblloane In tbe United States aenate just aa well aa Kepulilloan ooold. Ot co arte it la with tbe piea ent and tbe future tbat we have to deal; but we can beat judge wbeie a man will be and what be will do in tbe future by what be baa doue in tbe pant. ', I bava not forgotten tbat in fiuob anan'a time 1 aud aoroe other little tota waded through tbe enow and mud, orotoh deep and barefooted, to teed tbe atock and carry in the wood and water, and ainoe that time 1 bare frequently beaid tbe Uemooratlo brethren refer to those daya aa "tbe good old Demooratlo daya before tbe war." Thla wan near Ft. Yamhill, lu Polk county, Oregon. Whore were you then, Ueoigef During the reconstruction period tbe Democratic party became the party of obstruction, declared the national debt never would or could be paid, and their boata abouted for greenbaoka. Where were you then, Ueorge? At still later time, wbeu the Dem ocratic party under Cleveland captur ed the presidency and both houses nf oongreea, and wrecked tbe business of the country and brought eveiythlng aa nearly aa poaalble to atandatlll, when all the boata of Bryaulsm, Nihil iim, Fopniyam, Communism, Social ism and every other duroed lam ahouted for free silver, where were you then, George? When tbe Republican party gained a victory for bouest mouey and Mo Kiniey, tbe next morning after tbe election 1 waa lu liood KWer, and wben the morning train up trom Port land waa tome blooka away trom the depot I beard-a voioe like a trumpet call oat, "a million majority," aud a about went up tbat caused me to think that I bad caught an acbo trom that far-away time "wben alt tbe aons ot Uod shouted for joy." Where were you tben, George? Btill later, after you became gover nor aud a vaoano.v occurred oy the death of an Oregon senator and it tell to you to nil that vacancy tern porarily, knowing that you were eleot ed tor personal rather than politloal reasons, where did you stand tben, Georae? Of oourae, no one expected you to appoint a Hepublioan. Tbey know you were a Demoorat and they atlll kuow It. Yoa do oot pretend to be anything else and In all political mat' tera you wili aot witb your party as other men do, and you would be false to yourself and to others If you did not do ao. Heuoe the plea tbat you would aerve Kepublioana as well as oue of their own faith stands in mid air without any foundation. In nun-politioal matteia a Hepubli oan would aerve us just aa well as a Demoo-i.t would, nay, better, for the reaaou that be would be lu acoord with tbe majority in congress, and lu political mutteis he would work lor us, while you would he uguinst us, and any reasou you could gire why you could serve us betttr would to us be a reason for not weutiug you lu a political otlico. Now, George, we have no quarrel witb you laken as a man you are, so tar as we know, a very exemplary gentleman. l!ut. honestly, we thiuk tbe office of United States senator a political one aud tbat we should have a man there of our own faith.

They stand as models hundreds of visitois from other fruit districts come here to see how our unions are run, mid dozens of districts have sent for our constitution and by-huvs. Nearly all the unions and fruit associations are modeled after Hood Kiver. liood ltiver stands alone at the top as the peer of all fruit sections for its fancy fruit, its superb climate and its splendid unions. But 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 phenoininal success of the Hood Kiver 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 buildiug 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.
