In view of the facility with which objects many feet under water can bo photographed from an airplane It is possible that the navigation of such a river as the Mississippi, with Its shift ing bars, may hereafter be made safe by monthly or weekly mapping from the air. In earthquake regions, such as southern Italy and Japan, the changing coast lines, shallows and safe harbors can easily be photographed from the air after each fresh shock, thus keeping navigation open and safeguarding the Ilves of mariners. Best Buy of the Year! A splendid forty acre tract, well located, about thirty seven acres, more or less, in cultivation. Excellent soil throughout All under irrigation. Ten acres of full bearing, first class orchard—Newtowns, Spitz and Arkansas Blacks. Four roomed house and good sized barn. Spring water under gravity flow. I have personally gone over every foot of this tract and do not hesitate to say that I consider it the best “buy” offer ed during 1925. It is priced at $100.00 an acre less than it would cost to clear raw land. I am authorized by the non-resident owner to offer this at $6200.00. $2000 cash and the balance on terms to suit the purchaser with interest at six per cent. — IUI I WANTED C. N. RAVLIN, Agent Pythian Building IOS Third «treat MISCELLANEOUS Secretary Hoover'* annual report la ont. Read it! lie finds that “govern ment in business" may lie most itene- fleient. In summarising the work of the year he show« the value of gov ernment suggestion aud supervision in relation to business effort Secretary Hoover has a hobby—the elimination of waste! (Too bad he cannot come to Hood River and gather up the stray apples hanging on the tree«.) But to go on with onr story. The secretary has held some Otsi conferemva of busi ness men on way« and means to effect economies. Two hundred committees are still working out business short cuts and simplifications of business practice. We are told that American business men are Having 1500,000,000 a year ns a result of improved business methods. Secretary Hoover emphasizes our prosperity in much the same way as those employed by President Coolidge in his address before the New York Chamber of Commerce. Perhaps the president tend the findings of the sec retary. Why not? Compared with 1013 level wages last year were more than two and one-quarter times as high, whereas the cost of living was only one and one-half times as high. This means that real wages—what the wage earner can buy for what he receives— are far higher than they /have ever Iteon. it means that the margin lie- tween income and necessary expendi- Inres is wider than ever before, giving the American worker a better oppor tunity for saving than he has ever had In business organization- America leads the world. In that regard the report gt Mr. Hoover ia a striking] proclamation. It'proves that we are not only taking advantage of our great natural resources but that we are exploiting them with scientific Intelli gence. vdll GENERAL ¿caters are . _ Monte Folks"? //GENERAL /PETROLEUM \\ CORPORATION^ GASOLIN! // Consequently, all GENERAL’ Dealers are "home folks.” Each is interested vitally in the welfare of his community; each is dependent on the success of his neighbors and the patronage of his neighbors for his own success.
