The Hood River valley is not quite biff enough to hold any knockers, ami the "Hood River Spirit" which is in all of us should not allow the knocker elbow room. Nevertheless, he is abroad in the land. Maybe he does not knock everything but he hammers some particular section for no other reason than that he has no interests In that section, or has noth ing else to talk about. These knocking etories are often concocted and repeat ed by real estate dealers who do not happen to have listings in the parti cular section which they class as poor. This knocking Beldom does any damage in the first instance, for the knocker can be recognized as far as he can be heard, but there is a second ary result which is of utmost im jiortance to every resident of the Hood River valley. The result is that thoughtless ar sons in the district knocked, may think it necessary to knock back in order to get ever.. Thus the original knocker may start an nidless chain and he is the fellow who mutt be beaded off. It has been demonstrated that prize apples may be grown in all sections of the valloy. The reasons which lead to the selection of one or another section are individual but not general. NeighobrB, view and proximity to town have much to do with the desira biliy of various sections in the minds of different people. The fact that, experienced horticulturists are plant ing orchards and raising apples in all parts of the valley, leaves no founda tion for the knocker to stand upon. There is some waste land, so far as orchard is concerned, in every section, but a few acres of poorly drained or shallow soil does not mean that the section iB bad by any means. There is, perhaps, no other region in the whole country where the interests of all of the residents are so closely allied in one industry as here in the Hood River valley where the main business of the people is to produce the finest apples in the the world. It has been to the best interest of the inhabitants that they have worked harmoniously for the good of the whole valley and it will always be to their interest to do so. When one section knocks another section, the result is discord. Discord is not only destuctive to good feeling, but it will cause pros perity to cease. We do not think there is any danger of discord in the valley, but we do know there are a few knockers and we can guess what the result may be if their hammers continue to pound. Co-operation has been the secret of the present success of the valley .ml a knocker does not co operate. LET'S HAVE NO ACCIDENTS. The whirling of the automobile motors is a most common sound In Hood River valley these days. The roads are pretty good and they are being con stantly improved. Good roads are the joy of the autoist. There are over fifty automolbles in the valley and new ones are arriving every week. Hood River has been extremely fortunate that there have been no serious accid ents to motorists in the valley, and it speaks well for the drviers and of the cars. Of course, we hear now and then of a reckless driver, but happily we are free from the joy riding ele ment which infests the large cities. With the heavy grades and sharp turns in many of the roads in rougher parts of the valley driving an auto mobile requires care. The man at the steering wheel with several trollies and levers to watch has not much time for scenery other than the road in front of him. The man who always keeps his CM under absolute control is the man who will have no accidents. If he is an experienced driver he knowB when he has control, granting that all the parts of the machine are in repair and ready to respond to his touch. The expert driver goes over his car frequently testing out the different partH to assure himself that they are in good working order and that he will not be in danger of going over an embankment because of a little break in the steering gear or up a tree because of a faulty brake. Accidents lo others than the occu pants of automobiles are often due as much to the poor judgment on the part of the person injured as to reck less driving on the part of the autoist. IVdcstrians and drivers of other vehicles should bear in mind that the automobile has the same rights on the road as the oilier vehicle and its rights deserve as much respect. A pedestrian should not walk directly in front of an automobile and fairly dare the driver to run him down any more tlian he should take the chance in going in front of a rapidly driven horse over which the driver has less control. The automobilu deserves to have half the road but no more. However, the drivers of teams must realize that the automobile is moving, as a rule, at a much faster sm.hI than the loaded wagon and that, if they wait for the machine to start to turn aside before they start to nivo part of the road, they will not be more than six inches out of the beaten path when the auto swerves almost into the side ditch and back to the road. The auto will corne one hundred feet while the team is moving fifteen feet and while the team doe,net need to start to turn aside any further away in point of time. If teamsters remember this and start in plenty of tima to give their share of the road, especially where the good road is to narrow that both must give their ihara for a pau jug. they will U- much butter thought of by thn drivers of the automobiles, who will in turn be quicker to show common courtesy to the teamster re cognizing their rights. The automobile speed ordinance which was passed a few weeks ago by the council is, on the whole, a good law. The members of the Auto Cl'.b at first resented, it but endorsed it in the end with the exception of the clause calling for warnings at crossings which it was demonstrated to the city officials was unnecessary. A constant tooting of horns would only cause p.'drstrians to disregard all warnings, while if the horn is only sounded when it is needed it becomes a real warning and not a plaything. The drivers and owners of auotmobiles are even more anxious than any others to avoid acci dents and they will heartily cooperate with the city government in eliminat ing the reckless driver from the com munity. With proier care on the part of the whole community, it will be a ong time before Hood River is the scene of a serious automobile accident and so it be. An effort is being made throughout the state by many leading citizens to obtain the pardon of J . Thorburn Ross, banker, who wrecked the Title Guarantee & Trust Co., in Portland. It is urged in Ross's favor that nobody is the loser because of the wrecking ol the institution. This is substantially true as W. M. i.add came to the rescue of the defunct institution and is bring ing it through. However, that fact does not lessen the wrong committeu by Ross and the sentence he is under should be carried out. The petition for his pardon is being circulated among the bankers of the state and they are asked to beg the Governor not to punish a man for doing a thing which they would undoubtedly be punished for doing for misappropriat ing the funds entrusted to his keep ing. People are urged to have faith in financial institutions and to let their savings be working and we believe that it should be so but we cannot urge persons to deposit their money in banks and invest it in various corpora tion enterprises and at the same time approve of the pardon of a man who misappropriated the money of the trusting ones. We heartily dissap prove of the effort to pardon Ross. There is a bustling little community up the river at I.yle and one of the bustling real estaters of the village issued a pretty little booklet entitled "Why LyleV", recently. The answer came with a long series of "because" clauses in which the proximity to Hood River was not overlooked. The one of the clauses is "Because Lyle is the gateway to a wonderfully fertile com munity." Sounds like a good reason all right but the real eatater got to thinking the matter over and and wt notice in the booklets he is sending out now, the last word has been erased and the word "country" written in. I'retty big job, if there are many booklets. i'lans have been submitted, accord ing to the San Francisco Chronicle, for a large pavilion to be built at Watsonville. Cal., to house the apple show here. Watsonville is the main shipping point for the l'ajaro valley, the best apple producing section in California. The building will be 210 by 1 15 feet and it is said it will hold 50 carloads or 82, 600 boxes of apples. It is to be finished by September 1, in time for a big show this fall. Hood River should have a proter place in which to hold its apple fair this yeai and it is not too early to begin active preparations for the building of a largt show place. Hood River is getting altogether too much glory. Its latest is twins, born just in time to be enumerated. Let them be named Spitz and Newt. Ore gonian. Mc.Murray Presents Map. The Hood River Commercial Club has receiveil with the compliments of William McMurray, general passenger agent of the 0, R. & N., the original drawing of tin' picture map of the Hood River Valley which is repro duced in ,the Hood Kiver booklet.

J. R. Hilliker, of Chicago, was here last week in the interest of a patent fruit packer. According to his ar rangement the apples are set in paste board layer cases similar to the manner in which eggs are packed. The Sausage Mill Loses. The Chief of Police of Vancouver has made arrangements to ship all em pounded dogs to Hood River, where they will be killed and fed to the trout in a hatchery owned by F. P. Friday. The hides will be tanned, and Mr. Fri day expects to realize enough from the hides to pay the freight on the animals from Vancouver. Bingen Observer.

JACK VERSUS BILL A VISION came Into my Ken I saw a host of fishermen Assembled In a court of law, All sitting still In silent awe. Under a high poised canopy A grave judge sits reposefully, lie sees no Unties of the deep The Judge's eyes are closed In Bleep. Before the bench, each hat In hand, The plaintiff and defendant stand. Waiting their case to be beirun Until his honor's snooze Is done. While the spectators silent sit The clerk, a man of ready wit, Htartles the Judge like gun report Hy shouting, "Order In the court!" The Judge wakes up and blinks his eyes And then, to every one's surprise, Frowns at the pair and says: "No balll Oulltyt Six months apiece In Jalll' The clerk explains: "Your honor's grace. This Is a new and different case -Jack versus Bill. These litigants Both claim a pair of leather pants." The case was heard. One witness said That "Jack them pants has alius lied " More curious still, another swore That "Bill them pants has alius wore." The puzzled Judge then made this speech: "The court might give one half to each. But other claimants may appear. And so the proper course Is clear. "The court, then, deems it Just and wise To cut In disks of dollur size, To stamp them and give each who seeks A medal from thess leather breeks.' New York Press.
