How to Roll an Umbrella.

why Is It," asked an inquiSitive
customer In an umbrella shop, that
one can never roll up an umbrella as
compactly and neatly as 1t is rolled
when he buys IT."
you can If you only know how"
said the shopkeeper, "but IL every ybody
knew how it would mean less business
for us. The umbrella would last Ion
ger, and there would be much less
work for the repairers. Perhaps l
ought not to tell you how, but it's so
simple you should know. If you have
noticed, nearly everybody who rolls up
an umbrella takes hold Of 1t by the
handle and keeps twisting the stick
with one hand, while he folds and
rolls with the other.
"NoF, that's just where the mistake
comes In. Instead Of twisting with
the handle he should take hold of 1t
just above the points of the cover ribs
These points naturally lie evenly round
the stick. Keep hold Of these, press
Ing them tightly against the stick, and
then roll up the cover. Holding the
Elbs prevents them from getting twist
ed out Of place or bending out of
shape. Then the silk will fold evenly
and roll smoothly and tightly"

BOURNE OFFERS A
PRIZE OF $1,000

Washington, Oct. 2l.-Hon. jena
than Bourne, jr., OF Oregon, United
States senator. has taken unique
step to test the sentiment Of he
country on the presidential situation.
Through the National magazine, OF
Boston, Mass., he has offered cash
prize reward of $1,000, open to the
American people, for the strongest
and best written argument In support
of his following assertions:
First. That the sovereign people
and not Theodore Roosevelt, the in
dividual and public servant, will de-
eide who shall be his successor.
Second. That Theodore Roosevelt
cannot decline second elective term
or attempt to name bis successor with
out making bis own personal desires
or egotistical opinions paramount to
the combined wishes and intelligence
of the republican party and the elect
crate of the nation.
Thir,I. That Roosevelt's honesty,
courage, initiative, imagination, yer-
satility and tremendous capacity for
work, with heart and brain constant
ly attuned TO the peoples rights and
commands, aud his insisteuce ~ on
the enforcement rather than avoid
ance of laws, and the protection of
the rights of men and property, have
to an uHparaIIele degree gained the
con nfideuce Of all people; that in the
popular mind, Roosevelt during his
eXecutiyeship, has demonstrated his
ability and deter minatiOn to make
good as the peoples CHIEF public ter
want, and not their dictator that this
conlidence, being brain deduction
and not u heart tn otiOn, j. lmpossi-
bic of distraction except bJ lis be
trHya!; that ty the selection tt Gny
uthGr man, Lrsiness contraction al d
restriction uLst exist during the per
iod necessary for him to demonstrate
to The peoples satisfaction his ability
and determination to nuke good, aud,
therefore, that, barring death or scIi
Gus illness, President Roosevelt must
and will be selected aud elected for a
second elective term.

Middle Fork Ditch COmpleted.

A. q. Staten has completed the
work which he was supellntending on
he Middle Fork ditch, and said that
they have expended $4,000 in complet-
ing their irrigating plant. They are
now in position to furnish water to
all territory lying between the east
and middle forks of hood river. There
Is plenty of water to irrigate every
acre OF land, and enough Tor all time.
Mr.. Staten states that they have the
cheapest system in Hood River val
ley. They hsve practically no fumes
to maintain, and the maintenance fees
will be nominal. 1t amounts to al.
most free water and a perpetual right
for the stockholders.
The Middle Fork company we're
ABOUT three years getting per mission

territory, and nov that it has been
obtained and the ditch completed, 1t

Pine Grove Grange Protests.

The following resolutions we're
passed by the Pine Grove Grange Of
Patron of Husbaudry No. 356, of
Hood River, Ore. Oct. 10, 1907.
We, the patrons of Rural Route,
No. l, Hood River, Oregon, claim our
right to all privileges and favors given
to citizens Of any other portion of
these United States; and
Whereas, Rural free delivery was es-
tablishod in July, 1899, by our postal
department; and
Whereas, The salary paid the carrier
for his services has never been sufIi-
cient to .etain carr ier; and
Whereas, 1t has been necessary for
the patrons of said route to donate to
the carrier from 5000 to $500 per an
nun to retain the service, and have
already raised 1891 for such purpose
for the postal yeai of 1907 and 1908;
and
Whereas, The record of the route
shows it to have been established
eight years, that 1t is one of the ten
routes in the United States which 'e-
liver over 10000 pieces of mail pei
month, sometimes r.nning as high as
%, 600 pieces in single month, ac-
oommodating $50 families In dis.
taEce of 20 $40 miles, aud having an
income from the sale OF postal sup
plies amounting tc over S65 per
month; and
Whereas, Wo are now informed by
our postmaster a Hood Riger that
the earn iers are not allowed to accept
any donat ions, aud knowing that it
will bo impossible to retain "a carrier
at the salary paid by the government,
owing to tho high wages paid for la
bor OF all kinds in this section, il be
ing mountainous route and the Car
rier being obliged to keep three hors-
90, the greater cost Cf feed aud living
as prevails In every mountainous dis
lot; therefore be it resolved by
the Pine Grove Grange No. 356, also
by our sister Grange ut Odell, mem
bers OF which are all patrons of said
Route No. i,
That We demand for our carrier tie
maximum salary allowed carriers on
rural routes, and in addition to this
that each carrier he allowed $500 f. er
anHum foI horse hire;
That we appeal to our honorable
president, Theodore Roosevelt and
our post master general for immediate
reliet from these conditions.

The Brooklyn Eagle is stirred up
over tho fact that Oregon apples have
wandered down into the tropics and
sold in Cuba nnd Panama at IL cents
each, while the apples in Now Eng
land are so cheap that any man pass
ing by an orhcHrd is welcome to fill
his pockets. Arguing from the TACT
back to its causes. the Eagle arrives
at the conclusion that an Oregon ap-
pie in the tropics is worth Ii cents
and that New England apples would
be selling for II cents in the tropics
provided, first, that they we're shipped
there and, second, that they were the
equrl of tie Oregon apple when they
left the tee.
Here is testimony from long way
OFT as to the value Of the orchard as
it is conducted In Oregon, Washing
ton and the nearby irrigated sections.
These orchards are operated with all
the care OF an lnNa dairy farm. The
apples nro packed with all the care of
Florida oranges. They sell in the
market as high glade fruit because
they are high grade, Tho average
New England orchard Is thing neg
lected for years at stretch. One
year brings good crop aud the next
brings a failure There is no system
of tree culture, no cultivation Of the
ground, no selection of marketable
brands aud no attempt at succrs sful
packing To secure anything beyond
home consumption the orchards of
New England must take on the meth
DDS OF the commercial orchards of
other parts OF the country.
Oregon, Washington and the iIri
gated country near it do not have a
monopoly OF enterprise in marketing
fruit Other sections have wonderful
orchards which are mskiug money
tor their owners. But these districts
of the northwest ale the newest in the
Held aud their success shows two
things; liz t, that the orchard mon
hereabouts have adopted businesslike
methods, backed up sey hard work,
aud second, that there is a growing
demand the world over Tor the apple.
Fruit growers at WonRtcGee aud Yaki- |
ma have been trljuS theii friends
his for so 10 G that LEY are tired. |
1t will be refreshing tor them to know
that the Brooklyn Eagle, printed just
across the East river from Manhattan !
eand, has wised up to tho fact. -

A New Idea,

A new version of the grab bag thai
will furnish even greater fun because
of the greater difficulty In getting out
the presents is box filled with sand.
This is of course particularly suited
to summer parties. Whether in a city
back yard or country lawn it will
furnish no end Of amusement for thu
small guests.
Toys of various sorts should be buried
In the sand. Over each toy stick S
long stemmed flower on which Is .
number
Have corresponding numoer O,
flowers in large bowl and on each
blossom q number that will correspond
with one on the flowers in the sand
but have the numbers so placed thai
they will not show.
Each child draws a flower from tn,
bowl, after which he proceeds to di,
out Of the sand the flower with tn,
same number on 1t and also the toy
that Is buried underneath 1t.

To Prevent Riding Up Of Skirt.

A common complaint is that skirts
will ride up In the front. Women that
have prominent abdomens have more
trouble than others. There are two
remedies for this-either to wear some
of the many contrivanees which are
sold for this purpose or to make a tab
Of lining material about four and a
half inches wide and FIVE inches long.
This must be shaped out to fit the
center Of the skirt In front and caught
with the seam when the facing Is sew
ed on at the waist line. Finish the
edge of It BY plnking.

The result OF the special election
called to vote water bonds indicated
that the voters we're not In favor of
the proposition as submitted. The
water question has been before the
citizens of Hood River almost since
the existence of the corporation ,Ow-
ing to the hssitancy in going into
debt over-c conservative voters have
turned down every proposition that
has been presented. The Coe spring
was once offered to the.oity for SlG,
700. 1t was refused. few years ago
the MT. Defiance water could have
been bI ought In for about $50, 900, bnt
it was not considered necessary. Two
years ago the proposition to bring in
the Tucker spring was defeated, and
it would have cost $40. 900 less than at
the present time, aud 1t Is believed
the private system could have been
purchased for much less than now.
As time rolls by and the city grows,
the cost Of water system will be
greatly increased. The council have
decided to submit another proposition
to the voters, this time to huy the
private system alone. With the varie-
ty of propositions submitted it is
hoped that something will be offered
tlat will please the majority ot the
people.
