Many VIII Attend Encampment.

Captain James p. Shaw returned last
Saturday from Oregon City, where he
went on invitation to attend banquet
of the Commercial club, of which or
ganization he was leading member for
many years. The captain says he found
people everywhere inquiring about Hood
River, and that about every man he met
was planning to visit this city with one
or more of the several conventions, en-
campments and excursions billed for the
coming summer and fall. Speaking oi
the banquet at Oregon City, Captain
Shaw said:
"1he banquet was the outpouring ol
the business men of the city in a social
gathering, with the object of bringing
together men of all shades OF business
throughout the city into one harmo
nious gathering to talk over methods oil
the upbuilding OF their city; its civic
and sanitary needs, as well as its ethical
standing. The meeting was largely at
tended and was harmonious through
out, lasting until long after the mid
night hour. Judging from what know
personally Of the character and standing
or those present, there will be no lack o
push in the Falls City"

The following item appeared in last
Fridays Mountaineer:
Yesterday articles were filed with the
county clerk by Joseph Batchelder,
Henry E. Dosch and George 7. Prather,
incorporating the Hood River Develop
ment Co., with a capital of $50, 900, di-
vided into shares of $500 each. The
principal office is to be located in Hood
River, and the business in which the
company proposes to engage is to buy
and sell real estate and personal prop
erty, buy, build, own and operate rail-
roads, telegraph and telephone lines,
gas and electric plants, irrigating
bitches, etc. The company does not
confine itself to Oregon as a field Of
operations, but will engage in business
in any state in the Union.
When a Glacier reporter called at the
office of the Prather Investment Co
for further light on the subject, the
Judge only smiled and replied: "Of
wait and see." AS Mr.. Batchelder il
secretary of the Portland Street Rail
way Co, the organization of the HooC
River Development Co. looks very
much like movement for an electric
railroad up Hood River valley. Th'
Glacier hopes there's something in 1t

and snow storm. But on Tuesday
morning about 8 o'clock, after receiving
small sandwich for breakfast, the
party commenced stringing out on the
trail to the number of about 100 passen-
gers, leaving behind Is women and
children and some ten men who we're
too old or crippled to make the trip with
safety. All who started with the ex-
ception of four, went through TO the
Cascades the first day without accident,
except few frosted ears and fingers.
four only failed by the way from rheu-
matism or exhaustion, and were left at
farm houses TO rest up, and finally came
in the next day.
At Cascade Locks all were kindly re-
ceived and furnished with comfortable
lodgings in hotels and at the govern
ment quarters. Here we spent pleas
ant Christmas and were invited TO tur-
key dinner at our kind hosts, George
Gardner's, and the younger portion Of
the party joined in a dance Christmas
night"
Another account says:
"For the first four days there was q
fair supply of cigars and tobacco, those
accustomed to the use of the weed hav-
ing bought some at The Dalles Then
the stock Of the newsboy was drawn on,
and the samples OF three drummers.
On Tuesday there was nothing left TO
smoke or chew, and no tobacco IVES
packed in. 1t is needless to remark
that il was a total abstinence crowd
from necessity"

Miss Eva NlckIasen EntertaIns.

was written part Of a quotation that

eat our luscious strawberries. Men
who, heretofore have not been in the
habit of attending these encampments
say that we can look for them this year.
Now, in this connection, | believe 1t
would be well if the Glacier would keep
reminding the people of the city and
valley that they will have to take hold
with the Grand Army post and Women 8
Relief Corps, and help provide entertain
ment for these honored guests, who come
among them upon their invitation, and
who in all probability will never visit
Hood River again. There seems to be a
fear among some of those l met that
Hood River could not take care OF all
who will come. l assured them that
Hood River would take care of that
part of the programme, and for them to
come and bring all of their friends and
relations. Everybody seems to want to
come to Hood River at least once be-
fore they die"

SHARES IN NEW COMPANIES

There is certain class of people who look with contempt upon a new company, one offering its shares a little below par. If all investors thought the same, two of the greatest mines in the world would not be Tn existence to day, says the Mining World. "One, is the Alaska rreadwell mine of Alaska, and the other, the Calumet X Hecla mine of Michigan. Not only Is ,hi, true of these two great mines, bul many hundreds of others could be cited.
 ''It has been, is now and always will be the practice to offer the first shares of promotion company at less than par. The United Steel nay have been an exception, and 1t might be here added that the amount of plnnder taken in by these promoters would have de. veloped ard equipped many thousand mines, and given employment U many thousands of men.
 Simply because mining company is young and offers its shares on the start at little less than par. is no req son why it should be passed up. The shrewdest investors are the heaviest buyers of first sllotments. This does not raean that they go It blind, or merely take A flyer, but they first as certain in whose hands the company is, then make some investigation of the property. In other words, they inves tigate thoroughly before putting in their money, not afterwards. No one should invest dollar in mining with ont investigating any more than they would in any other channel of trade or business

Mir. Bryan's Chicago speech in de- nunciation of the platform and candi- date of the New York state democracy failed to strike responsive chord among the recognized leaders of the party. While NIT. Bryan probably re- alizes that his political influence is rapidly waning and that many of his theories have been repudiated, yet he persists in airing his opinions, even if he has to hire hall to do it. Mir. Bryan has been highly honored by the democratic party, and having led the party twice to defeat, he should be willing to abide by the will of the ma iority of the party, which is not now Tn favor of going into another campaign hopelessly handicapped by an endorse- ment of the Chicago and Kansas City platforms. Why should those par ty declarations be reafiirmed in preference to all former democratic platforms? We would better 20 back to the early fountains of democratic teaching and from them learn how far we have been misled by the populistic and revolutionary theories of Bryan.
