MUST HAVE GREATER NAVY Should KnOV

Near Future.
SAID ROOSEVELT AT ST. LOUIS IN HIS SPEECH.
Roosevelt Again Pointed Out the Necessity for Federal Control of Trans
pOrtatOn Lines.

is destined to play in the future his
tory of the country.
Referring to the railroad situation,
the president again took up the topic
of federal supervision of these cor
porations. He pointed out that pro-
badly eighty-fye per cent. of the bus
mess done by the railroads is inter
state in its character. With forceful
argument he showed that the nation
alone can exercise a thorough and
complete supervision of the great cor
porations transportation and other
wise, and that the people must look
to the national government to see
that justice is done to all parties in
terested, the corporations and the
public whom they are intended to
serve.
The United States government, he
maintained, must have the widest con-
troll possible of the transportation
lines of the land. This was no plea
for Capitalization, or deprivation of
states of their rights, but a necessary
movement growing out of conditions
that had arisen from the vast develop
ment of the country, conditions
against which the people were arous-
ed, and the remedy for which could
alone be adequately found in United
States control of the roads.
The presidents visit was a series
of popular receptions of the widest
enthusiasm. From the moment of
his arrival until his departure hund-
reds of thousands of people were
massed in the throughfares through
which he passed and about the places
where he was being entertained. Par
ty lines were unknown, Democrats
and Republicans joined hands in
scenes of popular approval of the
presidents policy and admiration
for the personality of the man that
will probably never be excelled.

decline of more than per cent. Even
a condition of n or Y per cent

despite official estimates the sharks

put prices down a quarter cent. But
this decline can be only temporary.

The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1907-10-17

A special election has been called
for next Monday, October q, to vote
on the question Of issuing $40, 600
bonds for municipal ownership of wa
terworks. This will DO the thnd time
to vote ON this question, and the Cit
izens of Hood River are all familiar
with the question. There is a popular
demand for more complete and bet
ter system of supplying the city with
water for domestic use, which shall be
owned and controlled by the city.
While the present system is fairly
meeting the requirements of the lower
part of the city, the upper spring is
not all that could be desired, and
neither spring furnishes adequate file
protection. 1t will be but short
time, even ii the present system is
maintained alone, when the supply OF
water in the two springs will be in
sufficient. Tho continued wholesome
ness of the water is also in question.
If the common council is voted au
tn0rity to put in its own system, it is
tie intention to bring in an entirely
new supply of water from the Tucker
spring, which was purchased by the
city over two years ago. The election
is called upon the belief that better
and more water is desired. A provis-
ion Is made to purchase the present
system. If reasonable price can be
agreed upon. AS In case of new sys-
TEN the present springs would be
abandoned, theiI value to the city
would be only what they could be dis
posed of for other purposes. UnIer
the present earnings of the system to
the private company, they have an
entirely different value to that COM
pany than they will have to the city.
The desire of the council, however, as
well as all fair minded citizens, Is the
purchase of this system by the city at
reasonable price, in justice to those
who have invested their money in the
private enterprise. In fixing price,
the council must determine how much
of the present system can be used,
how much must be rebuilt, how much
discarded aud thrown away. Perhaps
the most important item is the good
will'' or business acquired by the
company. How much of this bust
ness would he retained by them
should two systems be In operation.
1t Is not worth while for the city to
purchase the present system and con-
tinue 1t without change for the mere
purpose of municipal owners ship. Bet
ter let conditions remain as they are.
1t is up to the citizens, and 1t takes
two-thirds' vote of the freehold vot-
ers to decide it. We think that the
bonds should be voted, for the best
interests of the community.

The tair held last week at The

in years. 1t shows result of sys,
tematio work on the part of the fair
committee, which has resulted in a

Hood River day, and others who
could not go on that day went during
the other days of the raiI, until it is
estimated that 4OOsor 500 people from

much better advantage than other

looked nearly las good as Hood Riv.

"Taste that pear, aud If it isn't the
best you ever tasted III say no more
about Hood River" said Mr.. Smith.
And the pear was tasted 30 frequently
that it threatened to disappear at
once. As far as the taste j. concerned
1t was attested to be better than the
much famed Bartlett of the valley.
Mr.. Smith was called upon to tell how
the wonderful freak happened, and
had an answer ready.
"Like Topsy, that pear Just

or Burbank skinned to death up at

do not doubt but that he will soon

Buck began his speech in manner
that might have strlck terror to the
heart of recruit by stating that the
groom had been the victim OF drum

living in peace with his wife for 5C
years, thus cheating the honest law
yer out of fee and the court from
its high prerogative In granting di.
vorce. The sentence of the officers Of
the courG martial was that he should
be caned, and the handsome stick was
presented.
The chairman then ordered thrt
cheers for the bride and groom, and
they we're given with a will.

thanks for the happy time provided
by his friends, remarking that he was

them OFF the track. 1t delayed trains

of hitting passing train, it loosens
