Colo., during the past year has created a broadcast interest because of the success ofthe commission form of government Denver's new system has been worked out by Thomas K.lLill.lson of J. W Lill, of this city, who has devoted his life to the study of municipal manage ment. Mr. Lill. .who has written sev eral books Ion municipal government, visited his father here last year. In the Uregonian of last Thursday morning was an editorial, commending the .Denver system andlurging that other municipalites follow the example set by the Colorado metropolis. RESIGNATION RUMORS DENIED BY STANTON Rumors that have circulated through out the valley to the effect that County Judge Stanton was planning to leave Hood Kiver and that he would resign his office have been denied by Judge Stanton. He declares that he has never contemplated any such action. The rumors may have gained their incep tion from some talk of Judge Stanton moving from his present residence on State street to other quarters. Ihe reports of Judge atanton s con templated resignation had gained such credence in the country that aspirants or appointment to succeed the county official were seeking endorsement. Judge R C Glanville, lormerly a member of the Nebraska supreme court who now owns a West Side orchard, was mentioned for the place, and an element of valley'men were endeavor ing to get P. A. Massee, of Willow Plat, to try for the judgeship. VETERAN EXHIBITS OLD MUSTER ROLL Among the most interesting docu ments that have been recently left at the Glacier office were some orginal muster rolls of Company H., 14th Wis consin Volunteer Infantry, which were brought into the office last week by Thomas Goss, member of Canby 1'oet, G. A. R., who served during the Civil war in the Wisconsin company. The rolls, of 1862 and 1865, were made out by Comrade Goss. Mr. Goss takes a great interest in discussing the events of history in Civil war days. He plans the coming year on writing a number of short Civil war sketches for the readers of the Glacier. Attention, Knights Templar 0 Members of the Hood River Coin- mandery, Knights lempiar, will par ticipate on Christmas morning in the regular custom of formally observing the day. The Knights Templar will meet early Christmas morning and be gin the celebration with a breakfast at the Masonic hall, a custom that hag been followed by the local Commandery for a number of years. Following the services the regular services of Christmas day observation will be held. AMI Sir Knights of this jurisdiction are expected to be present for the event. Cough Medicine for Children Mrs. Hugh Cook, Scottsville, N. Y., says: "About five years ago when we were living in Garbutt, N. Y., I doctor ed two of children suffering from colds I with Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and found it just as represented in every way. It promptly checked their cough ing and cured their colds quicker that anything I ever nsed." Obtainable everywhere.

Go to Law, The Cleaner. tf lln closing session! here Wednesday of last week the 31st annual convention of the Oregon State Horticultural Soci ety went on record at decidedly op posea io proposal that have been ad vanced at different Northwestern fruit eentera to lower the standard of grad ing rules, a resolution, adapted Wed nesday afternoon, recommeded that the strict rulea that have heretofore pre- vaiiea De maintained. The Society launched a plan that will lead to a propaganda in Oregon for a greater consumption of fruita at home. The statement was made that Oregon's entire output of fruits, if citizens of the atate would consume applet and other fruits proportionate to the rate of consumption tinl Seattle, would be eaten annually by home folks. Next year, under the auspices of the Horti cultural Society, a publicity bureau will be established and irrocerv stores. hotels'and the?general public will be educated to adopt the slogan of, "Ore gon Fruit Products First." Secretary Hinton waa instructed to appoint a committee to take charge of the pro posed work, which was suggested in i report of R. W. Johnson, of Corvallis, chairman of the publicity committee of 1916. Fruit sales azenciea will be asked to make appropriations to aBSiBt in me worn. Sensations of the day's meetings were provided in an address by A. ti. llarris.'tpecial writer.ofa Portland newspaper, who, enibelishmg the topic, "Publicity, Good and Bad," suggested sweeping reforms, ranging from cook books to metropolitan dailies. Mr. Harria opened his address by reading.an: advertisement of the U W. R. & N. Co., calling attention to the recent National apple show held at Spokane. The advertisement, as read by. Mr. Harris, enumerated some doz ens of items of entertainment to be provided at the ancle show, the distri bution of apple pies, activities of apple land princesses and other carnival lea tures, including the distribution of an apple pie to each visitor. So contra wise was this spirit of levity with the ideas of the Portland newspaper man that he characterized the advertise ment at the meanest publicity he had seen in the country in many years. , "Spokane has no right to call the show the National apple show and fol low it with such publicity. Ihis organ' ization should prepare a resolution urging against Spokane calling a street carnival an apple show. Mr. Harria presented some half do en copies of the Spokane Spokesman' Review, published during apple show week, and in which he declared but a single constructive article, of 12 inches in length, waa published. "Two hundred and fifty thousand dol lars of clean money," he said, "was taken in at Spokane over the name of the apple. Mr. Harria then touched on the bad publicity of cook books issued by church organizations, displaying to his audience a copy ol such a publication issued by the Mount Tabor Methodist church, of Portland. "Out of 259 recipes, signed by piom inent church women of Portland, but 14 deal with the fruits of Oregon," he said. While numerous good books on cul ture and propagation of apples are available, Mr. Harris regretted the lack of apple culture of a human inter est nature. "I know of at least 100 viewpoints or angles," he said, "from which a man may touch on the apple. 1 have written storiea from 52 of these view points, and hope to touch on the other 48." In hia pleas for sweeping reform Mr. Harris suggested indirectly a censor ship by fruit men of the stories writ ten by correspondents of metropolitan papers. He read a Hood River dis patch to the Oregonian, reciting prob able frost damage at the time of the November cold weather. "If I were a fruit grower," he said, "I would take care that nothing of that kind ever got out of town again. Aside from whether it is a fact or not, it is decidedly bad publicity." Other addresses of Wednesday's ses sions were delivered by Robert C. Paulus, of Salem, president elect for next year; A. C. Allen, of Medford. horticultural commissioner for south ern Oregon; A. 8. Cordley, director of the Oregon experiment station, and Prof. J. R. Magness, of the Oregon Agricultural College. Mr. Allen, who told of the evolution of orchard inspection and law enforce ment in Jackson county, elicited marked attention. He told that in the past Jackson county had expended as much as $18,000 per year on inspection, and that the investment was considered a wise one. The present yearly approp riation, he stated, was $8,000. "To have a strict enforcement of laws," said Mr. Allen, "a fruit com munity must have the cooparation of its growers, its business men and its officers. Of course, the provision made by horticultural laws for the confisca tion of diseased trert is an aid to the inspector. But we found another means of carrying out our plana. In our county, at is the case elsewhere, I suppose, we assess land set to apple and pear trees a good deal higher than ordinary agricultural land. Our as sessor had been assessing each tree at an approximate value of $10. But we found that the greatest menace from disease came from the little backyard orchard. These trees formerly were not being assessed. We put the prop osition up to the assessor, 'Why should we who made a business of orcharding be assessed on our trees, when those who were merely playing with them, were escaping payment of taxes on their backyard trees?' Our assessor saw the point, and every tree in our county was assessed at the rate of $10 downward. The plan worked beauti fully and eliminated numerous disease breeders." Mr. Allen said that southern Oregon orchard districts, because of their close ness to the older fruit districts of Cali fornia, were more open to disease pests than other sections of the state. "In other words," he said, "you people here get your disease pests only after we have had them. They come to you by the southern Oregon route usually." Under the constitution and by laws of the Horticultural Society the formal election of officers must be held in Portland, and while it is assured by members that officers named Wednes day will serve next year, their choice must be confirmed at a later meeting in Portland. Stopped Children's Croup Cough "Three weeks ago two of my children began choking and coughing, and I eaw they were having an attack of croup," writes Billie Mayberry, Eckert, Ga. "1 got a bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar and gave them a dose before bfltime and soon their cough stopped and they tell asleep. Next morning their cough and all signs of croup gone." Foley's Honey and Tar Is a standard low-priced remedy for colds, bronchitis, la grippe coughs. Sold everywhere. (From The Glavier of December 23,189$) Hood River makes no pretenaiona to being a prune growing section, but 30 tons of dried prunes nave been shipped from here ao far this season. The Davidson Fruit Co. shipped their sec ond caiload of dried Italian prunea last Monday. Mrs. Geo. Crowell gives a recipe for making a dyspeptic's coffee that is bet ter than any or the health drinks ad vertised. The only objection that can be found with it ia that it is too cheap anything cheap, you know, is not considered worth much. Following is the recipe : Take two quarts bran, one cup syrup, well mixed, and then brown same as coffee. After it ia browned, add two beaten eggs and set back in the oven to dry. It is then resdy fur use. It makes a drink that will be preferred by many to Jthe real coffee. The Royal Arch Masons reorganized their lodge last Friday evening aa fol lows: E. L. Smith, H. P. ; F.

Pcterkin, 1st v.; Levi Nealeigh, ben. C.E. Markham has accomulshed good work on the road through the Methodist lane. He started a subscription paper and eot nearly enough volunteer work to finish grading and graveling that piece of road, which neretofore in win ter time has been about the worst in the valley. Mr. Robert Leasure. of Mount Hood. waa in town on Wednesday. He reports everything quiet in his locality, the young men of the neighborhood being mostly at worn away irum nome. Chris Dethman's well was a failure. After digging 50 feet and being out $50, he. came onto a big rock and had to give it up. It would appear from the action taken by some of the fruit growers last Saturday that the feasibility of doing away with the Hood River Fruit Growers' Union and organizing under a new name is being discussed. It may be that the old union has outlived its usefulness and that an organization with a new name would draw more patronage and be more successful, but it is very doubtful. The union has been a success from the start, and be ing managed every year by good busi ness talent on business principles, has grown steadily in favor. During the past year it shipped CO per cent of the strawberry crop, and there is no reason why it should not do even better the coming season. Since our last issue Hon. E. L. Smith has received one gold medal, two bronze medals -and four diplomas awarded to Hood River valley by the Oregon Industrial exposition. The medals bear the following inscription: "Awarded to Hood River valley for best association exhibit (gold medal), Awarded to flood River valley best winter apples. (Bronze medal) Bet Fall apples." On reverse side'there is an engraving of the exposition build ing. Three of the diplomas were for apple exhibits and the fourth for second best building stone from the quarry of Wilson Winans. We congratulate our fruit growers on receiving all the first premiums awarded to apples at the Portland exhibition. And this is not all. Residents of Michigan and other states of the middle west have fre quently contended that their apples were of superior flavor to those grown in this section, but Mr. Smith is in re ceipt of a h ttcr from Supt. Dosch stat ing there were no apples at the Omaha exposition superior in flavor and tex ture than those sent by him from his Beulah Land orchard and that a medal was awarded him. These evidences of superiority of our fruits should encour age growers to take better care of their orchards. Not less than $10,000 was lost to our orchardiets the past season by neglect in spraying and cultivation, and wn aie glad to learn that our horti culturists are determined that this con dition of affairs will nut occur again.
