tive matter of the wonderful vicinity
of Portland arid of that thriving city
itself, the railroads of the Northwest
have issued a handsumtly illustrated
booklet, annoucmg the Grand Lodge
convention of Elks to be held in Port
land during the first part of July.
the group of futures on the,, cover
page of the booklet stand as a monu
ment in City park. Portland, to those
intrepid explorers, Lewis and Clark,
who redeemed the Northwest for the
white race. Two Indians ftiind faring
the east, a young and an old Hod Pkin.
The countenance of the older Indian as
he beheld the intruding white man,
bespoke despair and defiance. That
of the younger Ked Skin bore a look of
fear with which was combined a de
gree of anxious hope. A palm leaf is
held aloof as a sign of peace.
The handsome engravings of the
booklet display the buildings and street
scenes of Portland and the wonderful
scenic locations within a short radius
of the city.

In December, President I,. W. Hill,

established in Great Northern Railway
city ticket offices located in i-eventetn
of the most prominent cities of the
last, a Umpting display of a large
number of varieties of Northwestern
commercial apples, grown along its
lines in Washington, Oregon, Montana
and British Columbia. Many of these

thusiastic reports of the Croat Nor

in each of these cities indicate the

pack, is making on eastern people.
I
VV.C. T.U. Notts
The contest held in the Baptist
church, on the Heights, was in every
way a success. The young men taking
part gave every evidence of having
made earnest preparation, and did
great credit to themselves. The con
test was very close, as only one-twelfth
cf a point divided the contestants.
The medal was won by Mr. Struck.
The judges were Mrs. MacDonald,
Prof. J. O. McLaughlin and Rev. Har
greaves. The contest work of the W.
C. T. U. is one of the links that hold
our young people to the cause of tem
perance and keep awake the interest
of the public.
The new study class in scientific
temperance started under very favor
able auspices and with a goodly num
ber taking part. These studies are
vrey interesting anil it is hoped that
many will take advantage of them.
'J ho White Ribboners are making every
effort to secure the ballot, and thus
have another chance to strike the "rum
power." Why do not more women in
Hood River take an interest in the
cause of temperance? - Contributed.

Positive In the belief that a change
Is needed for the best interests of
Oregou in the United States senate,
many newspapers in Eastern Oregon
have openly declared themselves for
lien Selling to succeed Senator Jona
than liotirne.
In a recent Issue the La Grande
Evening Observer editorially remark
ed: "The announcement that Ben Sell
ing will make the race for the senate
against Jonathan Uotirne Is received
with considerable satisfaction, for all
know that Selling Is a thoroughly pro
gressive citizen and stands for all
the measures that are dear to the
people, having been one of the legis
lators who not only helped inaugurate
the new form of government in this
state, but also has been one of those
who has constantly stood on guard
to prevent repeal of any of the meas
ures. "Mr. llourne Is practically a non
resident of this state and ia scarcely
a taxpayer, lie spends his entire time
In the east and seldom visits the state
that has honored him. By the way,
Mr. Voter, have you ever seen Jona
than Bourne? What do you know
about him other than to receive a let
ter occasionally written by a paid
stenographer and signed with a rubber
stamp? Can you point to anything of
Importance that he has done for Ore
gon? You know of course that he
voted with Aldrieh and the rich men
of the east on tariff issues. You know
he owns a large cotton goods manufac
turing plant on the Atlantic seaboard
and thut he is reputed to be worth
$iri,(i(i0,0i0. You know also that his
Interests In Oregon are so meager that
his tax Is exactly $2.44 according to
the Portland Journal of Sunday, Mar.
3rd.
"All of these things being true, don't
you think it Is time to replace him
Willi a citizen of the state a man
who has lived over half a century
in Oregon w ho has property nowhere
else and who stands his share of taxes
and works every day In the year to
build up his state?
"Is It not time for Oregon to be for
Oregon, as Hill Ilanley says, and de
sist from sending a rich aristocrat
whose interests lie In eastern states
to assist in making laws for Oregon?
"The people have a splendid oppor
tunity to elect a man who will repre
sent Oregon and the Oregon system,
for Hon Selling aided materially in
outlining and passing every law that
gives the power of government direct
ly to the people in this state."
OUTLOOK" FOR SELLING
Editor H. L. St. Clair Conies Out
Strong and Predicts Success.
The (ai-csham Outlook, edited by
II. Ii. St.. Clair, one of the strong
country papers of the state, has en
dorsed the candidacy of lieu Selling
for United States senator in no un
mistakable language. Here is what
the Outlook editorially has to say:
"The candidacy of lien Sell
ing for tho nomination as I'nitcd
States senator, to take the place
occupied by Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., is formally announced. Mr.
Selling has been getting ready
for this announcement for some
time and lie has been encourag
ed by thousands of friends. Mr.
Selling is a man of practical af
fairs, not theories. He is a
gooil clean Republican, not a
politician. He is a thorough
Oregonian and atauds for the
best in I lie Oregon system. We
look for him to make a sweep
ing campaign and not only se
cure i lie nomination tin April 19,
but the election in the fall.
"Mr. Selling tells in his de
claration what he will stand for
and try to accomplish if elected:
" if 1 am nominated and elect
ed, I will, iluniig my term of of
fice, uphold the Oregon system:
support tariff revision with jus
tice to labor, producer and con
sumer; larger appropriations
under continuing contracts for
Oregon's rivers and harbors; lo
cal Federal land courts for
speedily determining settlers'
rights; administration of forest
reserves in the interest of our
people; return of Oregon's re

The children have plenty of room to
play, bo they grow healthy and strong,
and eventually become useful men and
women who run fur oliice and sub
scribe for the newspapers. Nearly
every home has its porch, where the
folks may sit in the evening, when the
lights are burning'.low, and there is so
much opportunity for the pure air to
circulate that a sweltering night is
never experienced.
When you go from Hood River to
Portland you notice the difference, and
long to get back home again. It is
worth while to walk along a residence
street in Portland on a moderately hot
night to see the people sweating and
gasping. People who
great deal don't live in
tages with gooseberry
the clothesline: they
rooms in apartment houses, or those
abominations called fiats, and they
generally have to climb long stairways
to reach their dreary abodes. And in
the evening when they want a little
fresh air.and a temporary release from
their furnished dungeons, they sit on
the iron steps, and fan themselves and
watch their chilrden being run over by
street cars and automobiles, for there
are no lawns in front of the apartment
houses in the cities; if a man wants
grass he has to raise it in a flower pot
in the parlor window. Such a miser
able existence it is.
What is the fascination of the large
city, that attracts so many and holds
them? Iletter live in Hood River
among the trees and the hills than to
live in a big town like Portland and
take your money home in a wheelbar
row every Saturday night.
The Car You Will Be Proud to Own
Here is the stylish, roomy Maxwell Mascotte
the first real family car for less than $1000
When I see men half crazy, rushing
around on the street at all times of the
day and night losing their sleep, and
neglecting their business in order to
attend some caucus or convention, I
11111 always thankful that a majority of
men are sane and not politicians. The
politician, one who makes a business
of politics, is nearly always a fool and
a nuisance. He thinks that the world
will stop moving and spill things off if
he is not nominated to some oflice. He
usually starts in the year before,works
up his boomlet between times, stays
out at nights to gather up the strag
glers and by the time he has been
working six months he' quits his job
cold, and labors in politics from early
dawn till dark. He does not quit then.
He goes hack after supper, and bores
the men who once were his friends,
and makes a general nuisance of him
self. Within a year from the time a man
gets into politics he is utterly useless
as a good citizen. There should be so
cieties organized to "Save Men From
Politics" as well as to save them from
the devil. The political habit is worse
than the liquor habit. It makes a man
just as worthless, just as much of a
nuisance.
The time of year has arrived when
we have the candidate nuisance on our
hands, it seems to every one of them
that his present and luture welfare
depends upon the first and steenth pre
cincts. If he loses them he will lose
heaven itself. If he is a young man.
and has energy and ability, the best
thing that could happen to him would
be defeat. Of course, it would be a
hitler pill, and it miht jar him some,
but he would get over it in time, if
he should happen to get elected, the
chances are that it would ruin him tor
life, and that he would never be worth
two whoops for anything as long as he
lived. A man may quit drinking, I
smoking or chewing, but if he gets the
political habit, he will go to hades
faster than Old Nick can pull in the
slack. Old Wrinkle Eye.
Wagon Load of Hogs Bought
In Hood River, where the hogs may
be numbered by the scores, it is an
unusual thing to hear of the sale of a
wagon loud of the porkers. The larg

week by H. E. Caldwell to E. M. Hoi

Maxwell Mascotte is the ideal "American Family
Car" the car tiat meets a great popular d ;mand. The
Maxwell Mascotte is the ideal car for the particular
man of limited income who has long wanted an auto
mobile of sufficient size stylish appearance and per
fect efficiency at a price under $1000.
It has beeu close figuring, but great purchasing
power, nnequaled manufacturing facilities, and quan
tity production of the IT. S. Motor Co. make it possible.
Compare the Maxwell with any other car selling with
in $200 of its price. In every way it is a car YOU
