CELEBRATION WAS SL'CEESS L LT PROHTACLE FOR RED ( ROSS Liberality uf Crowds and Spirit of Their Observance of Independence's liirthdav Sets Record AH former mid-Columbia Indepen dence I'ay i- Iterations were eclipsed by that nf Thursday. Augmented ! delegatioi.s fr.m all neighboring riwr towns ami logging camp populations. .Apflf Valley folk to the last baby thronged the city. With the knowledge : that all fir- Is wt-re destined tor a work of mercy even the most cautious loosened his purse strings aiiil spent ! money like a sailor on shore leave. It was a reut day for everbvodv and a profitable one for the lied Cross, with j net receipts placed at ST.;, aim. ! Radiating from a child" business 'street intersection, where the large i hoard shack replica of a niinitig ramp I combined barroom and i;am t.li titr hall held lorth and where logger and dig nified matron rubbed elbows at faro bank or roulette wheel, a score of con cessions, ranging from the popular sjK'itJof swatting Kaiser Hill to a high iv tncritorious minstrel show, reaped a steady harvest if dimes. The Woman's club and church organizations sold ap petizing foods, riift of them donated. Hut all was not frivolity, and a trib ute to the o,il Hood River county beys i:i service, more than lob over there, was not forgotten. Stirring addresses were delivered by Mrs. C. 11. Cast ner and by Judge t'has. 11. Carey, of I'ort land. In the midst of Judge Carey's address the tire alarm sounded calling the department to a grass lire result ing from a child's tirecracker and tr.ienlcr.il. n Heights homes. The celebration will be remembered perhaps for years as a record for the masses present and their liberality. Lxcursiun boats, loaded to the gun whale brought merrymakers from Cas cade Locks, Stevenson, White Salmon, I'nderwuod, Cooks and l.yle. Special trains of the Mount llood brought hundreds from 1'arkdale and way .-ta-tiolis. The chief feature of the day's enter tainment were tugs of war, staged on a raised platform at the intersect inn of Oak and fifth streets. Loggers and different valley communities sent trained teams. The victory was won by I'ine drove. Amateur minstrel's hsh ponds, ice cream parlors, fortune telling booths and many other attrac tions were offered for the entertain ment of the masses. Much wrath was worked oil' on effigies of the kaiser, his princeling' progeny and old von llin detiberg. From the standpoint of merit, the Gilbert & Culbertson minstrels were as good as have ever been seen in the mid-Columbia. Running the Red log second place for attention and making a greater percent of clear profit than any other concession, the Odd Fellow's ducking; stool netted the Red Cross sM'.i'i'. The members of the fraternal organization who allowed merrymakers to toss balls and spring a trap that hurled them down a chute into a tank of water were, A. 1.. Vincent, F. M. Hick, H. F. Moses. O. A. Lake, Geo. W. Thomson, Clyde Arnold, Frank Howard, J. H. Surrell, VV. O. lligman and Ralph Barton. Although not Odd Fellows, W. 11. Stone and Gilbert Fdg inglon took turns on the ducking stool. Mr. Stone won the Red Cross $10 by going into the tank backwards. The parade was an excellent one, participated in not only by city folk, hut by citizens of rural communites. The Ford sedan was driven away by Gordon lloisington, of White Salmon. The Red Cross Chapter wishes to ex press its thanks and gratitude to trie loyal people of the county for their co operation and the spirit with which they joined in making the Fourth of July celebration a success. To those who worked indefatigiiably on commit tees and to the women of the Woman's club and members of other organiza lions we especially express our appreci ation of your helpful work.

F. W. Angus, fruit inspector who reported the orchadists to the grand jury, is an appointee of the county court, and works under their general orders. The orchardists, all of whom pleaded guilty to the charge, while they believe the existing law too arbitrary and strin gent, declare that some measure should be on the statute to prevent careless ness. The existing law, which if tech nically enforced, would, it is said, catch more than '..mi per cent of the orchardists of the Hood River valley, was adopted in ISM!'. When orchards were numbered by the dozens it was an easy matter to keep prunings burned.

HABIT OF MED DLERS DECRIED t L Uif ut 1 1 alot.ti in l in -;diy hear the Prohibit ioni-1 ..lit the liquor I From the Oreui In the old davs of the goii one would occasioi argument that if the once succeeded in w iping tralhc they would next turn upon to bacco, the theatres, card playing and other incidents that seem to thi 'i p. make of this a wicked world, it wa then thought to be ipnte a preposterous argument a false idea pi omulgaled by the wily liquor interests. Ihu liquet prohibition is here and now we have a county Prohibition party resolution, adopted in all gravity, against the use of tobacco. Tne realization seems just as preposterous as the prediction. Tlu movement can never gain much head way beyond the bo persons who attend ed the convention, but it may be said that if a tobacco crusade had been definitely linked with the iapioi prohi bition campaign several years ago it would have been with disastrous con seqences to I he lattei . It is significant that in every instance w here liquor prohibit i in has been suc cessful the Prohibition party, as a po litical organization, has had very 1 tile to do with it. The purpose to close the saloons has been taken oi't ..." ihnt party's hands. In its long id, ..ory u lias achieved nothing practical. Prohi bition sentiment is growing. A dry nation is on the way, out the final gloiy of the achievement will belong toothers. The main trouble with the Prohibition party, as an active nation.. I force, has been its nari'ow-miii.h dness, now so well exeuip lilied bv the Multno mah county resolutions. It lias repelled those who despise vice hut cannot take alarm at foil ks. I'se of tobacco is a useless habit in the main, but it is pot a curse nor a grave injury to those w ho acuire it in maturity. It is one of the many othi r mainly melons habits. It is no nit re hai infill than collee drinking or candy eating or gum t i.ewin.g, none i f which is particularly bent In ial. Ihe only substantial m lid merit against it is that it produces an odor ollonisve to some persons. Still we have known of non smokers who do not mind the odor of tobacco but coiild not remain in a h'.Usi where onions wore being cooked. The proposals of the county Prohibi tionists art- that tile "indiscriminate" supplying of tobacco to men in the mil itary service shall cease, and that, be cause smoking has a nun productive element attached, there be smokeless days and that the money thereby save;! be devoted to pat rot jo purposse. AJ for the civilians we doubt not that when the need arises, if it ever does, they will make the necessary sacrilice in order to obtain more money for patriotic purposes. Put what of the soldiers? The government has classed tobacco as a stddier's necessity; the Red Cross, the great mother of the world, uses its good ollices to distribute it ; the Y. M. C. A., which will not permit smoking in its buildings in America, sell tobac co at its cantonments in France, liv ery military ollieial, every sincere in vestigator on the ground has upheld the policy of supplying its It, is only those far removed from the turmoil of war, those v im know not its solace to the nerve racked, those who are as surded of their tea and colfee and nut sundaes and other objects of trilling habit it is only such who would de prive the soldier of his tobacco. Your Prohibitionist will say, of course, that it is the indiscriminate supplying of tobacco to which he ob jects. Hut it 'S not, in real, down right truth, lie knows of no way in which discrimination can be made; he suggests none. There is no way, ex cept by unseemly regulation that those j who have not yet smoked shall not j smoke a regulation tiiat they have ! not yet had the courage to propose for ! civilians. " I incrimination" means no tobacco for soldiers. j If there be waste in the use'of land ! and transportation in furtherance of the tobacco trade, there is also waste 'in the use of land arid transportation ; in the production anil distribution of countless other things we can in a j pinch do without. Put there is also ! waste waste of time, energy, money, ' printing in shallow meddling. It. is a : habit as truly as tobacco smoking is a habit, and from it may the good Lord deliver this writer, who now has ! neither.
