KNOCKING LEADS TO DISCORD.
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

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.'
