BOWLING NEWS
One out of three was the best the
crippled Blue Diamonds could win
from the newly strengthened Hadley
and Silver team in the Portland City
League match rolled Sunday afternoon
on the Blue Diamond alleys.
The locals missed Sherrell badly,
though Lawrence Hall, a Portland
bowler now livintr here, and "Dad"
Smitth did creditable work in their
first league match.
J. B. Konz, championship bowler of
many years experience, is now lead-off
man for the Hadley-Silvers and his 200
ifame in the firBt set-to put the pep
in the visitors. George Henry was
high man for the visitors, 590, while
House led the locals with 563.
Hood River's fine 951 total in the
last, game swamped the visitors and
brought the home boys' three game to
tal to 2652, only 11 pins shy of the vis
itors' 2663.
This match is the last to be rolled on
the local alleys till February, the Blue
Diamonds making the weekly trip to
Portland for three months. In the five
matches on the home alleys, Hood
River won 8 and lost 7 games, a good
showing. For the total seven weeks'
play. Hood River won 10 and lost 11,
a far better average than was attained
at any time last season. Captain
House promises to strengthen the local
team immediately. Detailed scores

When a stranger appears in ia com
munity, and, after ringing the school
house bell to attract the inhabitants,
proceeds to tell thorn how good and
wise he is and how ignorant and vicious
they are, I do not like the fellow. I
believe neither in his superior good
ness nor in his superior wisdom.
Yet this sort of thing is as common
today in communities as are lice in
army camps during war. No one
knows the figures, butfl believe that in
this country today one-third of the
people are in some way connected with
bothering those willing to work at the
appointed, natural and necessary tasks
of mankind. And I further believe
that it is largely owing to these in
effective pests that our taxes, public
and private, have In come staggering,
while public conditions are certainly
no better than they were when a far
smaller'number of men and women en
gaged in the abomination known as
public welfare work.
1 believe everyone with a mind ca
pable of analysis has a very strong
suspicion, if not conviction, that the
railroads have been ruined and ren
dered less effective than they might be
by attempts of reformers to reform
them. It is a peculiarity of public
welfare work that v hile the proposed
benefits are always problematical, the
feature of expense is never absent.
And the railroad; problem is entirely a
financial one ; rates have become so
high, because of attempts of public
welfare workers to lower rates, that
we hear of industrious farmers sending
produce to market, and not receiving
sufficient returns to pay the freight
charges.
The same situation exists in other
lines of necessary endeavor. How
earnestly we have desired, and how
liberally we have paid, to provide ex
cellent schools; yet the procession of
public welfare workers to schoolhouses
has been so great, and members of
boards of education so open-minded
when the welfare of youth is con
cerned, that we ".have made so many
"improvements" that many are now
saying our schools, like our railroads
have been ruined.
How earnestly we have desired the
good of women! No men in history
have been as gallant as the American
men in protecting their women and
giving them larger opportunities, as
proposed by the public welfare work
ers, yet the leading article in the cur
rent number of the Literary Digest is
headed: "Is the Younger Generation
in Peril?" Girls are more particularly
mentioned, but, so fHr as the boya are
concerned, we have heen very industri
ous in providing Y. M. C. A. buildings
and uplifting by means of Boy Scout
organizations. In the Digest discus
sion the charges always are too much
liberty; too much idleness; and both of
these have been granted because of
clamoring from public welfare workers.-
Howe's Weekly.
If the testimony of William J. Sim
mons, "imperial wizard" of the Ku
Klux Klan, before the house commit
tee investigating the order, is veraci
ous, a good many people have been
taking the klan too seriously. In the
light of that testimony the order is
made to appear more silly than sinis
ter. Brother Simmons, in fact, played
the role of an overwrought and hyster
ical wizard in his appearance before
the house committee. Excited to the
verge of hysteria he declared that the
robes are not worn to terrorize people,
but, on the contrary "they are as inno
cent as the breath of an angel."
At another point he called upon God
to Lear witness that no selfish mer
cenary or commercial thought had ever
passed through his mind. On one oc
casion, he declared, he told a fellow
kinsman that he would go to his grave
before he would prostitute the noble
order for commercial puno-es. With
a dramatic gesture, his voice pitched
hiifh, the "wizard" then added : "If
President Harding should resign to
morrow and the people should rise up
over night and attempt to proclaim me
an absolute monarch and demand that
I accept the office, I'd die before I'd
do it."
The climax of the day came when
the imperial wizard resented the accu
sation of some wicked newspaper men
that he was wearing a big diamond.
"This is no diamond," he exclaimed.
"It is an imperial stone." And short
ly afterward the imperial wizard top
pled over in his chair.
The growth of the Ku Klux Klan is
explicable only on the theory that a
considerable element of the American
people do love mummery, are fasci
nated by mystery and, as Phineas Q,
Barnum long ago pointed out dearly
love to be swindled.
The ridiculous Ku Klux Klan crier
is only an evanescence. Great was the
jiower of "the veiled prophet" so long
as he could wear his veil, and his
The most talked of
Car in . vmerica
duped followers believed "'that upon
tl,at terrible face one might look and
live But when the mask was torn
awa'v and its wearer was revealed as
common clay hi sway was ended.
So also tre imperial wizard of the
Ku Klux Klan has unmasked himself
before the congressional committee.
He is only a hysterical, overwrought,
ordinary individual who has taken too
seriously himself and the order that he
created. Spokane Spokesman-Review.
Men not yet old remember when
Hood River valley was only a "hang
ing valley" in the Cascades, valuable
chietly for its scenic beauty. Just
now 3, (KM) apple pickers and packers
are entering the valley to help pick
the apple crop of 1921, estimated at
2,000,000 boxes. .
Apple and pear orchards in this val
ley i.ow cover 16,000 acres and the an
nual crop.runs well above $6,000,000 in
value. Orchards are paying safe divi
dends on a value of $1,000 an acre.
The marketing of all this bulk of fruit
is no individual worry of the fruit
farmers, for their fruit association
finds the market and negotiates the
sales. Europe, South America and al
most every section of the United
States knows the taste of Hood River
fruit.
Shut in by mountains and shut up to
the growing of a few fruits, blessed
with an ideal fruit climate and a super-abundance
of irritating water,
this valley has accomplished what a
few yeara ago would have been
thought an impossibility. These people
have taken a wildnerness In the moun
tains and made it a cooperating, farm
ing region, producing a standardized
and highly profitable crop.
In the face of increasing insect pests
and orchard diseases, Hood River has
made possible clean fruit and clean
orchards. This is one of the few local
ities In America where apple and pear
scab have been practically eliminated,
and here It fruit that can truly be said
to be "safe to eat in the dark." Port

J. A. Eastes, who is always on the
lookout for something that will bring
more glory to Bend, has conceived the
idea of changing the name of "Lost
Lake." the beautiful mountain lake
near Old Bachelor and'the South Sister
to "Bend Lake."
"There are more 'Lost Lakes' in the
Cascades than any other kind" says
Mr. Eastes, and it appears to me that
it is time we gave that sheet of water
a name a trifle more distinctive than
the one it now has.
"Thare is a lake near Mount Hood,
known far and wide by that name, and
half the time when a Portland man
says he has been to Ixst Lake, his
friends think he has been to the one
near Mount Hood.
"Any lake which was remote or diffi
cult to find has had a chance to be
called Lost Lake. This lake was
named by someone without any imag
ination at all. The name should be
Bend Lake for more reasons than one.
The principal reason is that it is pure
and simple a Bend property. No one
ever goes to it without going through
Bend. Since the forest service has
opened the road to that lake, thousands
of people have gone to it and enjoyed
its beauties. It is Bend's playground
and it should be called Bend Lake."
Mr. Eastes said that he was going to
change the name of the lake if he had
to go before the National Geographic
Board and do it. Bend Press.
It is interesting to note, according to
BradBtreet, that 81 per cent of the
failures in America are concerns or in
dividuals who never advertise. While
there are some concerns that advertise
that are failures, nevertheless practic
ally all the progressive, rapidly grow
ing concerns in this country, whether
private or cooperative, are extensive
advertisers.
Advertising is one form of salesman
ship. It ia a safeguard agains' fail
ure. It is a form of insurance. It en
ables one if they have established a
reputation for standard goods, to con
tinually reach the consumer, to keep
the cosumer sold, arid to continually
interest new consumers in the product.
Recent figures that we have read re
garding women and advertising are of
great interest.
For example, over 70 per cent of the
merchandise of this country is bought
by women ; 48 per cent of the drugs, 11
per cent of the automobiles, 87 per
cent of all the foods and market prod
ucts, !H per cent of all dry goods. 49
per cent of the hardware and house
furnishings. Not onlv that, women
buy 11 per cent of the men's clothing,
and help buy an additional 22 per cent.
( r a total of 34 per cent of the men's
clothing ia purchase! bv women.
Men as purchasers lead in relatively
few lines. They buy 36 per cent of
the newspapers, 28 per cent of the
dogs, 24 per cent of the phonographs,
and 60 per cent of the boxed candy.
One only has to analzye these figures
to realize that the great appeal for
products such as the Oregon Growers
('(operative Association handles, must
be made to w men. They are the great
purchasers. Oregon Grower.
This year'a commercial apple crop
in Washington, Oregon and Idaho is
estimated at 30,000,000 boxes, valued
at between $50,000,000 and $60,000,000
by J. S. Robinson, sales manager of a
large fruit company. That is for ship
ping apples alone. If we consider
(tears, peaches and other fruits, berries
and fruits consumed at home, the value
of the orchard products of these three
states in a single year cannot be far
from $75,000,000 or $80,000,000.
How a vision of this splendid present
day development would have cheered
the heart of the old Scotch gBrdener
who planted the first seedling orchard
in the Pacific northwest at the post of
the Hudson's Bay Company at Van
couver, Wash., nearly a hundred years
ago. A gnarled and aged apple tree
of that seedling beginning still fights
the winds and the winter rains on the
site of the old fur-trading post. But
the true beginning of the orchard in
dustry in the Pacific northwest dates
from 1847. when Henderson Luelling
arrived at Milwaukie, near Portland,
with a well-selected lot of nursery
atock which he bad transported labori
ously f rom Iowa across the plains in
two large ox-drawn wagons built es
pecially for the purpose. The only
known lurvivor of the original Luel
ling nursery of 1847 ia a gigantic
cherry tree, still bearing fruit, four
miles from Olympia. It was sold to
David J. Chambers for $5 and with
tome other tres was carried down the
Willamette and Columbia rivers to the
Cowlitz, up the Cowlitz in a canoe to
Cowlitz landing, and thence was trans
ported 75 miles on a horse to the
Chambers homestead.
The orchard industry, like all others,
has its lean years and its fat years.
This is a fat year for the fruitgrowers
of the; Pacific northwest. It so hap
pens that an extraordinary yield in
this region is coincident with a short
yield in the east and the middle west.
The apple crop generally of the United
State ia the lightest in 30 years and
good prices are assured this year for
every shipable bushel of fruit in the
Pacific northwest. Buyera from the
middle west are in some of the great
oi chard districts, buying up the or
chard run, which they are shipping un
packed in freight cars to the Missis
sippi and Missouri valleys. It looks as
though there will be a good demand
even for the culls this year. The or
chard industry, as the Spokesman-Review
contended in the depressing
years, is planted on a firm foundation
In the Pacific northwest. Spokane
Siokesman Review.
Senator Cummins now admits that
his railroad law, the ,Esch-Cummins
act, is a failure. It lacks "teeth" so
its author says, and he is now trying
to supply this omission. He will ask
congress to order the country's rail
roads to consolidate into a few systems
if they will not voluntarily merge un
der the plan being worked out by the
interstate commerce commission. The
senator says :
"If the roads were consolidated into
a small number of systems it would be
entirely possible in my opinion, to
make rates which would result in vir
tually equivalent returns to all rail
roads alike."
But should the senator discover after
the trial that he has mixed the wrong
dope again, what next?
What a farce ; it was but a few short
years ago that the' taxpayers' money
was being 8ent by the million to force
dissolution of great railroad systems to
"improve" the railroad service of the
country and protect the "people. "
A little more political interference
and experimenting and the American
railroad system will be a wreck.
It is humbly suggested that our po
liticians of high and low d gree refrain
from attempting further to manage
great industries about which they
know nothing and give the owners and
managers a chance to operate their
own business- results might he surprising.-

here that
Father Murquette, after his first
discovery of the Illinois river,
established a Jesuit mission In
1075. Four years' later La Salle,
the French explorer, passed
through the Orent Lakes, landed
at the Chicago river and pushed
on to the Illinois river, which he
named after the Indian tribes
living In that region. Here he
built u fort and sent his boat
back to Montreal for further sup
plies. When his vessel did not
return he started homo on foot
and succeeded In finding his way
to Montreal through u thousand
miles of tangled wilderness. He
gathered together another expe
dition und returned to the fort,
which he had left In charge of
his companion Tonty. The fort
he found in ruins, hut finally suc
ceeded In locating and rescuing

by the Iroquois Indians.

though the Illinois country was

before the territory could be oc

from this province. Various
states claimed rights to parts of
this territory, but these were
finally ceded to the federal gov

formed Into the Northwest Ter

Pennsylvania to the Mississippi
and was eventually divided Into
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michi

as the twenty-first state with an
