FORESTERS BEGIN WORK.
The Opening Night Festival Was a
 Biz Success,

A thousand men under the banners of the Foresters of America paraded through the snow last evening behind the Waterbury Military band and an nounced to the public that the four nights of fun and pleasure were about to be opened down at the Auditorium. Every court in the city was represent ed and many ForeSters came from other places to witness the parade. Red fire was ablaZc along the line of maTch and the streets were crowded with people anxious to get a glimpse of some of their friends in the parade. At tho Auditorium everything was all aglow as q big crowd was in attend ance and everybody was having a good time. The hall was prcttily dec orated. The boys and the girls and the men and the women vied with each other in holding the chains, the little theater where the moving pie lures were installed did rushing bus mess and all who entered that theater came out well satisfied The |'Wing' piano could be heard playing all over the hall and some household will be enriched at the close of the entertain ment. The Eurn Nerein NOrwarts did some beautiful work. Master Eddie keefc sang nicely and Miss Burke danced exceedingly we'll
 Tonight the Concordia Singing SOci- ciy. forty voices. under the leadership of Prof Hans Saro. will sing some of their sweet choruses and perhaps some of their old prize songs.

"LIES," SAYS MILES.
Denies CharSes of Cruelty Made by
 Jefferson Davis's Daughter.

Boston. Feb 9.-Gcneral Nelson A. Miles was asked yesterday if he wish cd to reply to the charges of brutality made by Mrs J. A. Hayes. daughter of Jefferson Davis.
 "One cannot reply to a woman.'' he said. "Therc is the natural bitterness which she holds and which must he expected. l am somewhat surprised that such charge should be trulaped up now by daughter of the woman who personally thanked me for the care I took of her husband. Mrs Hayes says I insulted her mother SO grossly that the imprisoned father shook the barred door of the cage and threat ened to tear mo limb from limb. Well-
 Here tbe general turned over some leaves of blue paper covered pamph- let. and read this sentence from a let ter written by Mrs Davis: Il am taking this occasion to thank you for the care you have taken of my husband and am writing this on the steamer"
 Does that sound like the way southern woman would address q man who had so grossly insulted her. as the daughter more than implies:" asked General Miles. If you know any thing of southern women. you know that once they feel themselves insrlt cd they never forget. and do not for give it q bit more often.
 Now let mo tell you the whole his
 to:y of that incident. Every act of mine was done under orders. It was humanely dGnc. and at no time was there lack of consideration for the
 rank and quality of the prisoner. That there was cruelty or brutality in my : treatment of him l deny. I was par | ticular that no evil should cople to him while he was under my cara s.,d | gave strict instructions to all my so- bordinateS along similar lines. It is
 a dastar,lly outrage to rake up these
 old lies ai this time

We Must Wash.

We may live without poetry, music and
art;
We may live without conscience, may
love without heart;
We may live vi ihout mothers, live
without hopei
But civilized women caunot live with
out soap.
We may live without book-what is
knowledge but sorrow
We may live without beauty-it fades
on the morrow.
We may live without lawsuit-indlct-
ments are sQuashlng;
But where il the one who can live with
out washing,
Patronize the Hood River Steam
Laundry. Glen Fabrik, proprietor.

VOTE FOR SALOONS
AND HAVE LIVE CITY
(Adyertisement.)

To the voters of Hood River:
The time has arrived when we the
citizens of Hood River, are required
to stop and think of politics. The
time has arrived when we as whole
must vote on an serious and emphat-
ically important question, Local OPP
tion either for or against.
A few remarks to consider:
One--Do the citizens of the city
think as whole that the town Is
better In every way since Local OPP
tion has been In forcep No.
Two--Is there not more drunken
ness In the city today than there was
before Local Option was in focreF
Yes.
Three-Do the merchants think that
the trade In drygoods and groceries,
etc, has diminished or increased?
Lots of money leaves this town to be
expended in The Dalles and Portland,
and the city has been dead since the
saloons we're closed.
Four-If the city goes dry and other
towns near, The Dalles and Portland,
are wet does not the money that
would be otherwise expended in Hood
River, go to those townsH Yes.
Five-Do loggers, lumbermen and
timbermen Of all kinds spend their
money here or in other townsY Look
at the trains and see. Every train
that goes out carries them to Portland
and The Dalles
Slx-Does the city pay the general
bills as promptly as 1t did when the
saloons we're running In Hood River,
or are they laid upon the table in
deflnately, or discountedY Ask the
men who have presented bills to the
city for payment.
Seven-is there no whiskey or other
liquor sold In Hood River, today,
and are there not more drunks in town
than ever before. We all know there
is.
Eight-Are not the druggists pes
tered nearly to death with people
wanting liquor for medical and Other
purposes, and are they not compelled
to refuse, often loosing good patron
because he cannot have liquor when
some member of his family are sick,
and is 1t not necessary to pay for
prescription before one can get liquor
for medical purposes. Prescriptions
cost Sl.00.
Ninth-Is there town In the
United States that has many saloons
in 1t that Is not lively? Are the towns
which have voted Local Option lively,
Yes to the former, no to the latter,
not one.
Tenth--ln how many states has
Local Option proven successfully Not
one, liquor Is bought and sold there
Just the same as ever only by means
Of Blind Pigs.
Eleventh-How many buildings are
standing vacant in Hood River that
would have tenants il the saloons were
open. Ten.
Twelve-Does money circulate as
freely now as before the saloons were
closedH No.
Thirteen-ls there not certain ele-
ment that would spend their money
anyway for liQuorY Then why not
have them spend it here instead of in
Portland and The DallesY 1t would
be far better let us do so.
Fourteen-Will not the city be live
lier IN every way to have saloons than
not to have themS 1t will be better
for the town as whole, for the indi-
viduals of the town and for every
merchant in the town. More money
expended in town, more in circula
tion, more in the city treasury, more
expended In improving, the city,. bet
ter sidewalks, prompter payment of
city debts, the city will be liylier and
business better.
Now If you cannot see that the
