If YOU have a check book and banking ac-
count you are never caught in such situa-
ton Why not carry checking account with
This CORPORATION? Your money is safer in

teaches, helps and encourages you to save.
Paying bills by check is safer, as the check
becomes a receipt for the debt it pays. A

wallet filed with legal tender. IL your
check book is lost the Bank will give you
another; when you lose your wallet the story

An Awakening at Mount Hood.

Pursuant to the call of President
George NJ. Wishart the ranchers OF
Mount Hood gathered in the Mount
Hood hall last Thursday afternoon.
The league bad not met since the
rsirload agita' ion last spring and they
decided it was time there was some
thing doing. a heavy rain was patter-
ing outside, but it did not check the
arder nor dampen the enthu siasm of
the men who are conquering the
Mount Hood forests.
The first thing was the election OF
officers and an entire new set we're
elected. 4. Larwood was the unani-
nous choice fol- president, X. Leas-
ure was elected vice president, X. j.
Mclsaacs, recording secretary, 1. U.
Laferty, corresponding secretary
and w. S. Gribble, treasurer.
The most urgent needs OF the neigh
borhood we're then discussed W. s.
Gribble spoke at length on the need
of blacksmith at MUu Hood. He
was followed by Messrs. Langille,
Laiferty and Garwood along the same
line. 4 blacksmith is undoubtedly
needed and it would be paying pro-
position from the very start. A large
amount of land is being cleared and
many things need repairs. A black
smith at Mount Hood could do this.
Ranchers driving tn Hcod River do
not have time to get their horses shod
and drive back home In one day.
With the opening of spring this kind
of work alone would keep one man
busy. The rancheIs will go far to-
ward guaranteeing good blacksmith
all he can do.
Jake Lentz spoke of the work that
had been done towards building
wagon road up NeiI creek, thus doing
away with the steep grade up Booth
hill He said the right Of way had
been slashed Tor a considerable dis
tance and that it would te "a faI bet.
ter road for the people of Mount
Hood than the one they are now US
ing.
Messrs. Langille, Leasure and Crib
BILE we're appointed committee OF
three to go with supervisor LentZ,
look over the proposed new road and
report at the next meeting. 1t was
decided that the meeting Of the
league should be held every two or
three weeks and matters of common
interest discussed.
The next meeting will be held on
January 10 at O'Clock in the Mount
Hood hall at which time Messrs. Gar
wood and Laherty will have selected
some topic for discussion and will
have papers upon it read.
The Mount Hood Development
league has done great amount of
good. A year ago it placed number
Of MI. Hood products on exhibition
in Hood River. Among them was h
box of three tier Newtuwns. 1t was
supposed at that time that

HIGH WATER CARRIES
AWAY FLUME BRIDGE

The high water which prevailed here
last week again washed out the bridge
Of the Farmers lrrigsting ditch en-
taiilng considerable loss and putting
the ditch company to the expense of
again rebuilding It. The bridge was
used for the purpose of carrying the
fiume of the company acI oss the west
fork Of the Hood river and will have
to be rebuilt before the time comes
for irrigating strawberry plants next
spring. The structure was valued at
5000.
At the mill of the Oregon Lum ber
company at Dee the water was so
high that 1t was impossible to operate
the mill on account Of the current.
The logs became so tightly jammed in
the vicinity of the dam that IL was
considered nee, ssary to attach a cable
to them and haul them to a place of
safety with donkey. Other slight
damages are reported from the high
water, but nothing serious. Ihe

Produces Carnations Any Color.

Hood River has a resident who can
discount Luther Burbank in produc
ing carnations in eolors that that pop
ular flower is supposed not to assume.
He recently sent to Portland for some
red carnations for the holidays bnt
there we're none to be had Thinking
that the order had been mislaId or
bad not reached its destination he tel
ephoned florist tiere, but recei ed
word that none could be secured. So
he ordered some white ones and next
morning had red carnations on dis
play. How he accomplished this is u
secret. Last year the same man as
tonished his friends by exhibiting
some green carnations which were
thought mol to exist anywhere out of
Mr.. Burbank's hothouse. Anyway
those who insisted on getting red
carnations for the holidays got them.

The Dalles Chronicle reprints an
article recently published in the Gla-
cier over which its puts the head
'Now What Do You Think df That. "
We beg to call the attention of the
Chronicle to the fact that its use o.
the above is not only bad grammer
but slang as we'll and indecorous for
its staid columns. In order to carry
out the idea conveyed in the few pre-
liminary lines it should have said
"Now What Do You Think of 1t. "
Our esteemed contemporary also re-.
marks that the Glacier Las sprung
something new in county division and
asks to be enlightened. Again the
Chronicle is wrong for tlore is moth,
ing new in the ideas expressed in the
article which are as old as two and
two make four, aud that three and
two do not make six. A little knowl
edge is dangerous thing and too
much is said to be equally hazardous.
Thirst for informtion often leads to
dire results, but unless the conscience
Of the editor of Chronicle Is troub'
ling him he need not worry.

The Wronp Kind Of PatrIotism.

Patriotism has always been thought
to be a fairly good virtue by men who
have given the subject some thought.
Some years ago statesman who Wa
noted for his advocacy Of principle in
preference to the almighty dollar de.
liveIed an address on this subject.
His ideas were ones which called for
the loyal adherence not only to the
flag under which man was born and
lived, but also to the state and town
in which he resided.
While manifestations of the patri
otic spirit to the two former issues Is
no doubt admirable, it is to the lat
ter that any town or city must look
for success. loyalty to your home town
and the people that live in it. The
keynote of the success of Hood River
has been attributed to the steadfast
ness with which its residents have
worked together on all important
issues. Further success necessarily
means that this spirit must continue.
An issue is now before the residents
of Hood River and surrounding terri
tory to which every loyal man will re-
spond, as it means step toward n
higher development of the country
than can be obtained in any other
way. 1t means the intensive cultiya-
tion of an area that has no equal as a
fruit raising territory anywhere, at
a lower cost Of taxation and the shak
ing off of shackles that have become
irksome.
AS in every movement there are a
few who are bound by past or subser
Went to present conditions so there

sion. No patriotic man, no man who
pauses to consider the best interests
of the community in which he lives,

Hood River one of the most prosper
ous and progressive towns in the
Pacific Northwest will be found
placing themselves in the ranks of an
opposition that has never done any
thing for their home town but fatten
themselves on its revenues.
This is not the character of patriot
ism that will make for the rapid and
far reaching development of the terri
tory of the proposed new county or
any other community and can easily
find substantiation in town that is
not far distant and where business

Van Anker Will Bring Snit.

9. s. Van Auker, ex-cashier of
the State Bank of RPnier, who at one
time lived in this city, has deter
mined to seek vindieation for the
charges brought against him by the
National Surety company. The bank
WAS robbed on Labor Day of about
81, 600, and after tIuitless search for
the bandits, who Van Auker said held
him up, the cashier was accused of
embezzlement, ana arrested on "a war
ant, signed by George W. Allen, of
Seattle, manager in the state of Wash
ington for the Surety company.
Proofs could not be secured of Van
Auker's guilt and be was released.
The suit for exoneration was filed
late Monday afternoon by Judge d.
J. Haynes and l.. g. Garrigas. The
complaint alleges false arrest and i'm
prisonment and consequent ill-treat-
ment and abuse, coupled with damage
to reputation and defamation of char
acter. AS redress from the Surety
company, represented by George W.
Allen, the payment Of $25, 600 is ash ed
from the court.
The arrest of the cashier of the bank
followed an investigation by detect
ives in the employ of the National
Surety company, who unearthed the
fact that the cashier was in the haEit
of playing faro in Portland and AS.
toria. 1t was the theory of the Off.
GERS of the company, In causing the
arrest, that the cashier,aprroriated the
money to make good his gambling
losses
Van Anker was sweated for day
and night before his arrest, bat
aeither at that time nor later did he
change his story of the tall and short
man who held pistol to his head and
looted the bank, after tieiDg him in
the back-room. Detective Lou Hart
man, of Portland, led in making the
Investigations Of Van Auker's past,
and in sweating him. Upon the cash
ter's arrest, at Rainier, he was taken
to st, delens, and confined in the
Columbia County Jail for several
weeks until the county grand jury
met. District Attorney Allen pre-
sented the facts that had been secured
by detectives to the grand jury, but
that body refused to indict Van
Auker.
