Tha seoond auuual baoquet under
the auapioes of the limioesi Men's
Association was held at the Odd Fel

affair ratber eclipsed the one of a
year ago held at the same place.
Covers were laid tor eighty guests,
and when the hour arrived tot the
learst not a seat'nas varant.
Frank A. Cram, president ot the as

of tbe modern business man. Fully 75
oer cent of business is done on credit
fortunes are lost because collections
cannot be made promptly. Peddlers
who oome into tbe couutry and pick
up business are au Injury. Ibey pay

We have tbls year suooeeaeu in get

and will be a great benebt to tbe com
mnnitv. Hood River business men
are well organized, but tbey bad to do

A solo from Paul Hubbard was tbe
next on the program, and was well re
reived. Mr. Hubbard responding to
the encore.
Rev. J. U. Tate was introduced by
President Cram as Farmer Tate, with
tbe warning tbnt tbe merchants might
exneot a roast from the farmers' view
point. Mr. lale said ue ft as expected
to roast, and there were a few things
he would talk pialn about. However,
wheu tbe faimer bad anything to buy
he was auti-monoply. and when be
bad something to sell be was a mo
nopollst. Vet tbe merchant bad tbam

eggs and took it out in trade, while
tbe merchant made a profit on tbe
egs when sold and also a profit on
the aoods. Yet. neither party could
be independent of tbe other. Tbe
merchant oould not exist without tbe
farmer, and it was vety convenient
for tbe fat mer to hav9 a place to buy
supplies at home, and alo to get

Truman Llutler was called upon, and
after a few remarks told one of his

FIVE LAWYERS IN CABINET
Wants Help In Constitutional Cor

Philadelphia. Pa., Feb. 22. Pres
ident-elect Taft arrived here Sunday
morning from Cincinnati and with
Mrs. Taft, who cime from New
York to Join him, Is the guest of
Dr. S. Weir Mitchell. A conference
took place between the President
elect and Frank H. Hitchcock, who
came here at the request of Mr.
Taft.
Mr. Taft admits he is making
headway in the selection of a sec
retary of the treasury, but maintains
that the place is not yet filled. In

George W. Wickersham, who will
be President Taffs attorney-general
is one of the leading members ot
the New York City bar.
the list of cabinet appointments Mr.
Taft has heretofore announced there
are nve lawyers, it may De siaiea
that this fact ia not a mere coinci
dence but la an accomplishment
which has been carefully planned
and striven for by the incoming
President. Constitutional legal re
strictions on corporate abuses are
the accomplishments he will strive
for.
DRY FARMING" CONGRESS
Alms nt Making Arid Western Lands
More Productive.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 23. More
than a thousand delegates, repre
senting every state in the went and
several foreign countries, were pres
ent at the opening today of the third
annual transmlssourl dry farming
congress in the Capitol Avenue thea
ter.
Although the movement to bring
together the tillers of the arid landa
of the west is only three years old
and its formal organization dates
from last year's congress, It already
ranks In Importance with the na
tional Irrigation congress and the
transmisslssippl commercial con
gress. The purpose of the congress
la the discussion and comparison of
methods by which the arid districts
can be placed under tillage and the
natural rainfall conserved.
Paying Honor to Father George,
Washington, Feb. 22. Although
the celebration of the centennial ot
the birth of Lincoln has over
shadowed the birthday of George
Washington, the usual honor are
being paid today to the memory of
the Father of his country. As a le
gal holiday today Is far more widely
observed than Lincoln day, since the
adoption of the latter day as a holi
day has not become general In the
greater part of the states. Wash
ington's birthday is a legal holiday
in every state except Mississippi,
There, as elsewhere, the day la ob
served with exercises in the public
schools.
Lewlston, Feb. 23. Plans are un
der way for holding a pioneer re
union In Lewlston on March 3, that
being the date on which Idaho was
made a territory. Lewlston was the
first seat of the territorial govern
ment and among the residents of
the city at this time are a number
who were here when the first terri
torial council was called to order.

RQT AND PILLAGE IN OMAHA
Scores Injured, Homes Burned or
Wrecked.
Omaha, Neb. Feb. 22. Following
a harangue at a mass meeting In
the city hall, In South Omaha, Sun
day afternoon, at which two mem
bers of the state legislature and an
attorney were the principal speak
ers, a wild mob of 800 or 1000 men
started for the Greek quarter to
aveuge the death of Patrolman Ed
ward Lowery, who was shot and
killed Friday night by a Greek
whom he had placed unaer arrest.
Before their thirst for blood had
been satisfied more than 30 build
ings were burned, wrecked or badly
damaged and probably a score of
persons Injured, half that number
seriously. By heroic work the police
have prevented actual lost ot lite.
L .
MANUFACTUR, i G
PLANT READY
MEANS MUCH TO HOOD RIVER
Finest Equipped Sachlae Shop
Oregon Outside of Port
In
land.
The Hood River Manufacturing En
gineering Co. are ready tor business,
and have Installed tbe finest machin
ery in tbe state tbis tide of Portland.
Tbey will at once begin tbe manufac
ture of tbe Liurkey patents, tbe ball
bearlog bub and leek nut.
The plant, however, baa been equip
ped with tbe idea ot doing any kind
of work that can be bandied by a ma
chine shop, from tbe smallest to tbe
largest job, and expert mechanics are
in charge to do the work wltb neatnosa
and dispatch. Tbe company bave
been fortunate in securing tbe ser
vices of E. A. Runout, who has been
superintendent of a large plant In
Denver for many years. Mr. nanoua
it not only an expert maobinist, but a
draltiman, and in making special ma
chines for the manufacture of tbe
Luokey patents or other work, can
woik out tbe ideas on paper.
One of tbe new maobiuet wbicb bai
attracted the attention of mecbanioa
and been much admiied, is tbe Cin
cinnati Universal Milling Machine,
wbicb is the most complete machine
of its kind made. It U a wonderful
machine and with it, In connection
wltb tbe lathe, almost any shape can
be worked out In iron aud steeL with
absolute scourncy. It will plane
metal, out gears, threads, eccentrics,
and do a hundred things necessary
in making machinery and tools.
In addition to this is an Improved
lathe with all modern attachments,
large iron drill, cutter giinder for
sharpening milling machine tools,
emery grinder, eto. A new maohlne
ia for tbe purpoa or turning out tbe
bub on a buggy wheel for tbe putting
on ot tbe ball bearing attachment.
By tbe aid of this maohlne tbe attach
ment can be put on tbe wheel ot any
vabiole without even marring tbe
paint.
In speaking oi the eutet prise, J.J.
Luckey says: "Hood Klver will have
no oause to complain ot this new en
terprise. We have not asked the city
for any help, have not asked the Com
mercial Club lor any aid. yet we ex
pect to bave an Industry built up
wbloh will employ a thousand men.
We have additional ground here to
build a large factory, and will do so
wben the business warrants. I bave
a standing otter of 120,000 to move
this plant to another city, but prefer
to stay in Hood River if we get proper
encouragement."
The manufacturing plant la a sepa
rate corporation from tbe Luokey
pateuts, and will make the ball bear
ing hob and lock nut for the other
company. It will also be prepared to
do manufacturing or repur work of
any kind in tbe maohlne and Iron
line, and it will be a guod addition to
the other shops of tbis kind already
established on a more moderate scale.
Manufacturing enterprises are what
tbe oity needs as much aa anything to
build up tbe town. Ibe growth ot
tbe oity on account of tbe fruit indus
try will always be limited, but fac
tories with a large payroll will de
velop the place along other lines and
make it a city of liberal proportions.
With plenty of power, developed and
undeveloped, Ideal conditions for
residence, good transportation facili
ties and close proximity to- railroad
terminals, it should offer special in
ducements to tbe location of manufac
turing enterprises. To Mr. Luokey
and tbe enterprising local buianesa
men wbo bave put money Into bis
project, la due tbe credit ot estab
lishing tbe nuoleua ot a business
wbloh bas every promise ot develop,
ing into a big thing, not only for tbe
oompany but the oity.
