Newspaper Page TextTwo HOOD RIVEK (iLA OIER a HtJRSDA SfeWEMBER 10, 1G06. Sjuob Siitrr (Blartrr Issued Every Thursday by AKTHIR D. MOE. Publliber. NATIONAL l'KOHIBITION. Much of what Candidate Chstln says of tl:e "old parties" U true Here la a great deal of bumbug and clap trap about their profeteloua and pre tenions, aud much to lie desired in their performances, eaya the OreKOD Jouroal Men wbo control parties and attend to tbe petple'a business m nnlv mortals, and some of tbem Dot a very hih grade of nintuls eith er, but there la hope and even dis tim t alcrtis of Improvement in both parties. Properly, cousideiiuK bis position aa a candidate of prohibitionists, Mr, ChaQrj regards prohibition of tbe manufacture and sale of liquor as tbe paramount issue, tbe one great que tlon to be settled. It is certainly a great and live question, but many efforts and long experience have shown that it caunot be made a party or political question. The reasons wby this is so might be found, but it Is sufficient that it is so. Millions of voters are opposed to the liquor t radio "in their midst" wbo won't vote tbe prohibition ticket in a national elec tion. Ibis has been demonstrated manv times, as it will be again tbii year. Great aieas of the country preoincts, counties, even states have voted for prohibition, but tbe si me men wbo did so will not vote for ua tional prohibition. Ibis may seem fiuilotii and contradictory, but it Is ao, and it must be accepted as a fact, whether we can give suUloieut reasons for it or not. From a sentinieutHl ot an abstraot point of view, Mr. Cbafln is right; if tbe liquor tralllo la a great moral wrong and a terrible evil it should be pro hit tod aud what is good for some preoincts, couutlos and states should be good for the nation; yet tbe people will not have it this way. Xbey prefer to deal with this ques tlou locally, at the most by atutes, usually by counties or Jess divisions, no such division being willing to lm pose prohibition upon other states or tbe country at large. And under local option lawstho prohibition movement bus gained great ground and is doing wha'i tbe prohibitionists as a party have utterly failed to do for balf a century. Local option does not sat isfy Mr. Cbafln and a few others, but it satisfies a great majority of people, and has gone far to render a national prohibition party almost ludicrously needless. Uesides, prohibition as a national pulley is as yet Impracticable. If Mr, Chatlu weie president under such low be could not enforce it, even with an army of 1,(XH),000 meu. An over whelming majority would revolt against It, including millions wbo are for prohibition locally. There is lit tle use In advocating something that only one man out of 100 wants or is In favor of, after a geneiatlon of dis cussion and appeal. Temperauoe re formers would better proceed along pructical Hues, where tbey onu get ro sults, us the local optloulsta ure do ing. Mr. Child u says that a majority should not have its own way if it Is wrong, but the majority will not abide by the decision of a minority, especi ally a very small minority, as to what is right or wrong. .SELLING Fill' IT. The opinion expressed by Mr. 11. P. Davldsou, of Hood Kiver, that dealers iu trult lost money last year is undoubtedly oorrect, and it may be expected that their experience wilt make them a little cautious this year lu loading up with supplies, though there la nothing In the industrial sit uation that warrauts extia caution. The dnauolal flurry otimo luut year just stter fruit dealeis had made their purchases aud they were compelled to unload at a loss. This reduced value of fruit was not due to any change in the supply of fru.t, but was due to diminution of demand ocoasioued by inability of consumers to buy. The situatiou was au uiiiihuuI one, arlect lng all Jinarkets, though .the nmiket for perishable goods, such as fruit, whs probably affected more thuu that for most commodities. Wl.nlh.tr ..,111. 1 iuu..iri mtu Kuuu ruilHOU OT UOt, a niau who has lost on an investment will be slow to make tho same kind of an investment again. Men who laid lu a large supply of apples last year will buy this year only what they can en a certain market for. And yet, hi somewnac reduced prices, there should be as aotlve a demand for ap I Am In My New Quarters With the most complete and up-to-date stock of Diamonds, Watches, Clocks, Jewelry, etc., east of Portland, and we challenge them to surpass our stock. ARTHUR CLARKE Hood River's Leading Jeweler ples for consumption as aver beloia. While growers will probably not agree to such a statement, It is quite possi ble that tbe price of apples, like that of many other commodities, was ex cessive last year. Values in all lines were high. Tbongb It would be grati fying if apple growers could get as high prices every year aa tbey did last season, sucb good fortune 1 not to be expected. On the contraiy, it eeema Ibat pi ices will be lower than aotual conditions jas'.ify a misfortune wbicb tbe producers must softer unless they can dud a way to stimulate demand. Oregoniau. In defiance of all tbe acknowledged laws of nature in regard to horticul ture and fruit growing, a plum tree, thiifty and loaded with fruit, stands wedged iu on all sides in tbe back yard of Tompkins Hros. cigar store. Tbe brick wall of tbe Hood Kiver Banking and Trust company's build ing overshadows it on one side, while that of Frank A. Cram Imprisons it on the other aud in front tbe cigar store building jama into Its vitals. A uarrow outlet at tbe back allows due dejected limb to reacb out for rec ognition by tbe publio, but It is doubtful if many see it. Nevertheless tbe plum tree, wbicb is ot the yellow egg variety, flourishes mightily. Hear ing its head above tbe roof ot the store its limbs are ooveied with an abuudaut yield of yellow fruit. Unlike tbe flower that is "born to blush un seen aud waste fta sweetuess on the desert air," tbe fruit ot this plum tree eaob year delights many mortals with its flue flavor. Irrigated with salt water from empty ice cream tub, fertilized with cigar butts and spray ed with lemonade we are informed by the proprietor of the stoie that each year it brings forth its abundant crop unoared for, uusuug and unboosted. No stories of its gieat achievemeut bave appeared lu tbe newspupers an. I no pictures of Its gloriousyellow fruit have bombastically portruyed its won derful yield. At last, however, it lias been discovered and like tbe genius who has been working unheralded iu his garret tbe fruits of its modest efforts are known. JAPS BUY 1,000 ACRES IN WASCO One tbousaud acres of laud have been purchased at Eight Mile by tbe Columbia Laud Produce company, which Is composed of Japanese oapi taliHts, says The Dalles Chronicle. M. SklmomTira, S. bhlgemura, II. Okita aud L. Nisbizaki, president, vice-president, secretary aud manager of tbe company repseotively, were iu tbe oity today making preparations for the taking of supplies, eto., to their new holdings. As announced s me time ago the Columbia Lund aud Produce company was Incorporated at the county clerk's ottlce in thin-city by several Japs, the object of the incorporation being giv en as that o( buying and selliug real estate, growing farm produce, stock, etc The 1,000 acres ot laud at Eight Mile were purchased by the compauy from Messrs, Wilsou aud Davis. The con sideration has not been uiH'le publio. The property is about six miles from tbe Ureat Southern tailroad. It Is the purpose of the Japanese to carry on truck gardening, fruit glow ing and stock raising. Tbey will ship tbe products of their laud to l'ortluml, Seattle aud other distributing points. When seen today by a Chronicle re porter, 8. Nisbizaki, the manager of the Columbia Land and Produce com pany, said that Wasco is oue cf the best counties in Oregon lu which to carry on truck gardening, and that tbey expect to do a good business in the way of gardening, grain and truit growing. The Columbia Land and Produce company will carry on a real estate, grain, trult aud vegetable growing business and also will do business as commission merchants. Their farm address is rural tree deliv ery number 2, Lloyd, Oregon. S. Nisbizaki, manager, left on tbe Oreat Southern railway today for lloyd, accompanied by tho other offi cials of thii company, they sent u large wagon, houvlly laden with nec essary goods fur housekeeping, out to the farm today.

Adams has bad her big Paradise Kami property plaited and contemplates cutting it up iuto small tracts. The Paradise Kami property lathe largest estate at Hood Kiver aud ori ginally consisted of 1120 acres aud iu eluded the Idlewilde aud other addi tions unai it which have beeu sold off as the city bus grown larger and a greater demand created fur buildiug lots, 'lliero is still 2(10 acres In tbe property and the intention is to sell oft and develop tbe large tract went Mrs. Adams' residence.

The large estate owned now by Mrs. Adams was taken up under tbe dona tion land act many years ago and tbe first (-tore at Hood Kiver was built tbore and occupied the land whete tbe laundry building is now situated. Ibe many resideuoe buildings that are going up in that neighborhood Indi cate that it is looked upon as one of tbe most desirable sections or the oily for this purpose and that it will build up rapidly. Suspend Work on Itridge. Owing to tho fact tbat a misunder standing has arisen between tbe Co lumbis Bridge compauy, wbo are con structing tbe bridge to tbe east side, and tbe city council, work on tbe structure has been suspended for the prvseuc. ltie bridge company is also said to have beeu iuHuenoed to sumo extent in suspending tbe work on ac count of there not being enough funds iu sight to pay for the structure when Unlabel. His expected that tbe mat ter will shortly be adjusted and work on the bridge resumed. Mrs. Edith Anna Talbott. Mrs. Edith Anna ialbott, aged 77 yeitrs, died at tbe home of her daugh ter at Pine drove Sunday, September (i.

Seuietary Williamson, of the state board of horticulture, who baa been investigating Iruit condlious in part or Soutnern Uiegou says that tbe ap ple crop will be somewhat larger than last year and that tbe prone oiop will roach Ot) per cent of tbat of 1907. "Prune growers there will do pretty well this year, Bfter all, he says, "as prices are considerably higher than last year. The crop of Orgeon bag been cut down one-half by the untime ly frosts of last spring and tbe yield ot California will not be more than a third ot what it wag a year ago. "The apple yield of Douglas county is also very good this season, but tbe buyers aie not so eager to load up as in the fall of UU7, when tbe panic caugtit thorn and ibey lost money Tbey prefer to get apples on consign ment this season, intttead of buying and takiug chances of getting profit after the fiuit is. disposed of in the eastern markets. "The Iruit growers ot Oaklaud, Douglas county, and vicinity have organized for the puipose of (selling their output to tbe test advantage, and they certainly bave a apleuuid truit country to work in. Tho ten dency is to buy up laige farms and cut tbem into five and ten aore fruit tracts, and I judge tbere will be money in this for the promoters, who will assist in populating the , countiy with piautical fiuit growera I from tbe cant and elsewhere. !
