Standing on the threshold of a new year and
.looking for a moment in retrospect over the one
just closing, we are deeply conscious that
"We have left undone those tilings which we ought
to have done, and we have done those tiling which
we ought not to have done." ,
The year has been better in many respects than
we hoped for a few months ago. We are getting
real cash returns that will net us by far the larg
est amount we have ever had for a crop of ap
ples and we are entering upon the New Year
under very favorable circumstances.
Let us not, however, be led into paths of ex
travagance on this account, for we have quite a
distance to travel yet before ideal conditions are
reached and it behooves to practice the rules of
thrift and economy, which have so well served
us during the past year.
Our aim tot the New Year, as far as possible
while laJri$r under th frailties of Imjitmm na
ture, will be:
"To do the things we ought to do and to loave un
done the things we ought not to do"
to the end that we, and consequently those we
have the pleasure of serving, will have the best
year we have ever had.

feelings, I decided I would as toon be
seasick.
You a truly,
Aa D. Moe.
Thia should be a happy New Year
for Hood Uiver apple growers accord
ing to AiltruT hieg. 'While market
conditions all over the country have
uteri in a most indefinite stage," says
Mr. Sieg. "We have not been affected
bore because we have had our crop
kld. The growers and market men
who have been consigning their truit
nave been finding that it is bi tter to
sell for a reauonable price at home
than to look for a (-'peculation else
whore." The apple growers and market men,
however, according to the local market
experts have not had the easiest of
mailing this year. "The great trou
ble, "he Bays, "has been thnt all
apples have been at Buch a stage of
ripeness that it has been impossible
fur thorn to have any speculative
value. This has not been a local con
dition. It has prevailed in New York,
Canada and all other Northwestern
points. There are two reasons for the
condition here in the llnod River com
munity. First, we have climatic con
ditions that have teen hard to contend
with and then we have delayed in the
haivest of our fruit.
The problem can only be solved by a
system of community packing houses,
euch as had been inaugurated here by
the citizens of the Oak Grove to in un
ity. All districts must take this up, if
the industry is to be continued on a
profitable basis. There must be a
greater science and more care used in
the handling of the fruit. There is not
a point in the whole Northwest that
furnishes the grower the same advan
tages 88 does Hood River. We have
an actual storage capacity of 750 car
loads, and if we reach the point where
we can harvest, pack and get our crop
under cover in 30 days after maturity,
we add enough to its life to give us
the advantage of spring speculation.
This prompt harvesting can only be
accomplished through mure comunity
packing houses.
"The houses will also be an economy
to the growers. The help question
will be solved. Shipments will ro out
earlier and in more liberal quantities.
Hood River will add to her well earned
prestige."
LOCAL SHRINERS
SAIL FOR ORIENT
Two Hood River men, A. D. Moe and
M. M. Hill, members of Al Kader

party of neophytes at Manila. The
initiation ceremonies will take plnce in
the crater of an extinct volcano about
60 miles from the city.
The party is headed by W. W. Irwin,
of Wheeling, W. Va., imperial poten
tate of the Mystic Shrine. It com
prises nearly 400 shriners and members
of their families. Every berth on the
Minnesota has been taken, and many
who desired to go could not be accomo
dated. Tha party is due to return to
Seattle, March 11.

BOURNE EXPLAINS
PETITION PLANS
To the Editor:-It has been quite
generally agreed thnt under the system
of paid circulation of initiative and
referendum petitions two evils exist:
The submission of many measures for
whicft thera is no popular demand, and
the forging of signatures. To remove
there evils, I shall propose an initia
tive measure prohibiting payment of
circulation of petitions but placing no
restriction upon the right of the people
to circulate petitions for any measure
in which they feel an interest.
One of tbe fundamental purposes of
the Oregon System is to increase the
power of men and decrease of power of
money. 1 am surprised, therefore, to
find that there are some sincere advo
cates of better government who oppose
the plan ot prohibiting paid circulation
of petitions. Most of those who op
pose my bill acknowledge that it is
right in principle but say it will not
work satisfactory in practice. 1 con
tend that if it is right in principle it
will ultimately be adopted and will
work in practice.
Ao initiative petition is supposed to
represent the dcBire of 8 per cent of
the voters. It does no such thing. It
represents merely the expenditure of
a certain amount of money.
Possibly circulation of petitions
serves to notify about ten per cent of
the voters that the measure ia being
proposed, but, if that is the end to be
gained, it certainly could be done more
effectively by expending the money in
the printing and circulation of copies
of the bill which voters could read,
rather than in securing signatures of
voters to a petition which few take the
time to read.
The adoption of my suggested bill
would make the petition represent pub
lic opinion, for the number of volun
teer circulators would be in proportion
to the extent of public desire for the
measure.
1 admit that so long as the custom of
paying circulators continues, practical
ly every measure must be initiated in
that manner, but 1 am confident the
time will come when the duties of
citizenship in procuring and protecting
desired laws under the initiative and
referendum will be performed without
special compensation.
The hiring of paid circulators for
measures or candidates is no less un
representative than the hiring of work
ers or vehicles on election day, which
have both been prohibited by the cor
rupt practices act.

here Sunday evening, Mr. Coshow,
who was one of the city's most re
spected and valued citizens, has been
suffering for a number of years from
a cancer. He had sought relief by
numerous remedies, and last year the
surgeon's knife was resorted to. Mr.
Coshow bore his affliction with forti

Mr. Moe Writes From Seattle
Seattle. Wn.. Dec. 30, 1913.
Dear Joe: We have got along so far
all rieht. but had considerable worry
yesterday as our trunk did not get heie
in the morning, inai snowea ine wis
dom of getting here a day ahead. 1
got the railroad officials busy, however,
and the trunk arrived last night. Mr.
Moe declared she would not go if the
trunk was lost, as most of our cluthes
were in it. There was a good deal of
red tane to be gone through with in

Wm. Olham and wife, of Wasco, came
here in the hope of there being some
thing released at the last minute, but
there has been no chanre so far. The

The Seattle Shriners let the crowd
get scattered and nothing much has
been done here. An auto ride was
arranged yesterday afternoon, and we
heard of it through the papers and
took it in. Also a reception and dance
at the Masonic Temple in the evening.
I expected there would be an itinerary
printed of the trip and distributed be

ever, I am sure we will be looked after
a little better at our destination. I

U. OF 0. CLUB
IS ORGANIZED
At a meeting of present and former
students and alumni of the University
of Oregon Monday afternoon in the
lobby of the Mt. Hood hotel, a tem
porary organization was effected to be
known as the U. of O. Club of Hood
River. Louis A. Henderson was
elected president, and Lste Brosius,
secretary, of the temporary organiza
tion. A third member is to be ap
pointed by the newly elected officers to
asist in drawing up a constitution and
by-laws and thus forming a permanent
organization.
The object of this club will be to
lend mural support to the University
at all times and to hind the students
and alumni together by promoting the
"Oregon Spirit."
COUNTY COURT
CUTS BUGET
SIM ASKED DECREASED $1,720.00
Horticultural Exhibit and County Library
Building Fail to Receive Support
Deputies' Salaries Tut
Protests coming from numerous
sources, the county court in session the
latter part of last week clipped the
Hood River county budget for the com
ing year to the extent of f 1,720. On
account of the objections raised by
ranchers and others who appeared be
fore the court, the 11,000 asked for an
exhibit at the Panama exposition at
San Francisco in 1915 was not appro
priated. 'The Woman's, club and citi
zens interested in the new county li
brary had asked for the sum of $:00 to
equip an assembly room at the new
Carnegie library building. The court '
failed to make this appropriation.
While naturally a disapiiuintment is
felt by those more deeply interested
in the county exhibit anu the library.
the greater number of citizens feel sat-
ished with the court actions. The
salary asked for the deputy county
clerk was cut from $1,020 to Sl'OO. and
the deputies for the sheriff and treas
urer from $500 to $150 each.
The city tax levy for the coming
year will be increased to over 2.b
of last year. The county lew. to
which will be added special school and
road levies, ia apportioned as follows:
general levy, .1; county school levy.
1.7; county road levy. 5.0: state levy.
4.0. The state levy of last vear was
1.2. The increase of the present year
ia to take care for the appriations
made by the legislature.
High School Happenings
There are several basket ball teams
playing in and around Hood River thia
season. The Udell Athletic club which
was probably the champion aggrega
tion of Hood River last aeason, haa a
strong team thia aeason with C. Shep-
pard, W. bheppard. Davis, Lafferty
and Beveral new recruits, playing on
the team.
The Columbia Athletes, a club of
local boya not attending high school,
with over 50 members belonging, have
a strong team in Schiller, Franz, Yow
ell, Sosey, M. Button and others. The
Colubmia Athletes disbanded last sea
son after two gamea had been played,
due to financial difficulties, but they
are organised on a firm financial basis
this year and are out for a successful
season.
The high school has a strong team
this year and ia out for the Mid-Columbia
Basket Rail League pennant,
and the rag will surely be on display
at the high school when the season
closes.
There Is some talk ot a young men's
club on which Raker, Shny, and others
will play. :

Better School Building Wanted
Please allow me to congratulate Mr.
Blowers on his article last week, as 1
consider it the best thing 1 have seen
in your paper fur years, and now about
that gymnasium. 1 think it would be
a great thing for the town, but there
are other buildings we need worse,
such as that old firetrap, the Park
street school. Three or four fires have
started in that building in the past two
or three years, and the next time it
may go up in smoke and some of our
little ones be burned to death. 1 was
surprised that any mother with child
ren in that building would vote for a
gymnasium at the last school election
after hearing Mr. McLaughlin tell Mr.
Reavis to change his seat from the
middle of the room as the noor was
weak and that ho was afraid it would
go down so if we build ctiy thing in
stead of paying our debts let it be
new school buiding for our children
with a gymnasium in the basement.

Editor Glacier: 1 desire space
enough to say "Amen" to Mr. Law
rence Blowers' letter in the last issue
of the Glacier. 1 know a great many
more who are Bilently doing so. Some
of us more conservative ones (called

Borne one to express the sentiment of a
a large number of the people of the

express our thanks to him.
