and the president rose in his car
riage and bowed in response to their
wild cheering.
The procession proceeded through
the business section to the city and
county buildings. Excursion trains
had been run from every point of the
state, and it is probable that more
than $4,000 people saw and cheered
the president here. Among the spec
tators were many old Mormons,
many of whom had come across the
plains with Brigham Young.
Nine thousand school children,
every one of them waving a flag,
greeted President Roosevelt as he
stepped from his carriage and mount
ed a platform. The reception given
him by the youngsters evidently
pleased the president very much and
he smiled and bowed repeatedly.
After speaking a moment to the
children, the president reviewed the
long parade and then, r~eentering his
carriage, was driven to the Taber-
nacle. When President Roosevelt
stepped forward after an %introduc-
ton by Gov. Wells, 11,oo0 people rose
to their feet and cheered wildly for
fully a minute. The president spoke
in eulogy of the Utah pioneers, who,
he said, came here not to exploit the
land and then go somewhere else,
but to built homes. S~ecretarys
Moody and Wilson also spoke brief
ly. Secretary Moody aroused con.
siderable enthusiasm by promising
to name a battleship Utah if con.
gress would grant him five battle.

had attempted to make mischief be-
tween the colonial secretary and him
self, but any such attempt would fail.
He commended that after the resolution
of the colonial conference Mr.. Cham
b~erlain was bound to raise the subject
of preferential trade for public dis
cussion.
Mr.. Balfour deprecated waving
the ragged, moth-eaten flags of either
the protectionist or the free trade side
inthe controversy now as far removed
as the poles from the controversy of
half a century ago" The premier then
proceeded to argue that the tendency
was to raise a tariff wall against Brit
ish goods.
Dependent ON Others.
Great Britain, he said, must become
more and more dependent on foreign
countries for food, and, owing to ex-
terror tariffs, would find herself COM
PEELED to dispose of her exports on on
erous terms, resulting in enormous
loss to the community, He, therefore,
argued that the time had come when
should be publicly discussed whether
the doctrine that revenue was neverto
be raised exception the purpose of eS-
penditure must not be abandoned.
Favors Freedom of Speech.
The premier declared that there
was no contradiction between the
views of Mr.. Chamberlain and his own;
but, he defended the right of any min
lister to freedom of speech. This fiscal
question required the most careful ex'
animation. He vas not certain that
the scheme was practicable. but un.
less some scheme was devised the en-
pire could not progress.

that the association will begin TO pay

is placed to his credit. II he wishes to
build home worth 81 900, he let's his
contract for same and gives first mort
gage on the real estate, and pays for it
when com pleted; or if farm, gives
mortgage on it. If he does not wish the
money, he can SO notify the association
and have the money placed to his credit,
when the contract holder will have his
share of all the income of the associa-
ton. Or il he so desires, he can sell his
contract to any purchaser at premium
above ordinary interest. After the con-
tract holder draws his money he begins
to return it in monthly installments of
$3.50 per month interest at 2per cent per
annum; that is, he pays 500 year and
$40 year interest; so cents per month
being used for expense fund; $50 is
credited on his loan per year. If he
so desires, the contract holder can pay
whole amount at any time and stop
the interest. Now, there is not a day

A stranger Writes of Hood River.

j. Il. Davis writes to the Newberg
Graphic from Hood River as follows:
This place is situated on the Colum-
bia river at the mouth of Hood river,
between Mount Hood and Mount Ad-
ans, and with mountains all around.
The valley proper is small, perhaps
about 20 miles long and four or five
miles wide. The sol and climate seem
to be wonderfully adapted to the grow.
ing of strawberries and apples. The
orchards are usually small and well
cared for, and the people seem to be
pretty well organized and wide awake
to their best interests in varieties OF
fruit and attractive ways in putting
their products on the market. | have
been travelling about the valley some
what in quest of health, and at the
same time taking some notice of va

gagged in. / think the clearing of land
and putting out of apple orchards is
Just now receiving the greatest atten-
ton. The lumber business receives
considerable attention, and there is a
box factory or two that do thriving
business. General farming receives
some attention, but the farmers buy
their hay, flour, meat and a great
