HERE'S UNCLE SANS NEW MONEY!
CREENBA CKS TIA T ORA 3 PER CENT

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2S.-
A greenback which bears interest
at the rate of per cent; that is
Uncle Sans new certificate of in
debtedness."
Ordinary paper money does not
bear interest 1t is good for its
face value, but it does not work.
In order to make it earn it has to
be put out-lent, invested, changed
into some other form of security,
such as bond, mortgage. a note
or a share of stock. But the new
$50 certificates of Indebtedness are
going to be earning for their hold
ers 8 per cent interest until they
are called in.
These new bills will look like or
binary paper money. 1t has been
decided that they shall be similar
in size and design to the ordinary
gold certificate, being varied only
enough so they will not be con-
fused with the current issues.
These $50 bills will be different
from ordinary $50 bills. however.
because they will be worth $50 plus
the interest at per cent, dating
from the Goth day of November,
1907. On the day of issue they are
worth just $50. On the Goth of
next May they will be worth
s5O.75. and on the Goth of Novem-
Der, 1908, they will be worth
s51.50. = z I 2 II
So for the man who has money
in his stocking and wants to lend
it to the government, the purchase
of the new certificates Of indebted
ness is something like a snap. He
gets per cent, and he does not
tie up his money. He can always
exchange his certificates for gold,
or he can use ii TO pay his grocery
bills, for the certificates will pass
as legal tender from hand to
hand.
This issue of Certificates of in
debtedness" is absolutely unique.
Nothing like it ever has been seen
in the history of the government.
1t is the sale of an interest-bearing
government security at par. That
is the thing that makes it different.
IL dlNdH S mas pcSH llS pl dStiNC w
sell government bonds-and any
thing of the governments that
bears interest is regarded as a
bond-at a premium. 1t is worth
more than its face value; and such
securities always have been sold,
like the Panama canal bonds are to
be, to the highest and best bidder.
But there is an interest-bearing
government security to be had for

STOUT LADIES NOW

Nine. McRae, the famous Chica'

the interests of the Crosby corset

This Is one of the most difficult
problems confronting not only the

corset must be a perfect fit, Or il

HOT GR|O|RON
FIGHT TO-DAY
SPOKANE AND SEATTLE
TEAMS ON FIELD FOR BAT
TILE OF THEIR LIVES HERE
THIS AFTERNOON.

At 2:30 O'Clock this afternoon
the fiercest football game ever seen
on local grounds begun, if the in
tentions of the teams from Seattle
and the S. A. A. G. were carried
out. The dissatisfaction of Seattle
men at their treatment in the box
ing and wrestling bouts last night
has intensified the rivalry to so
great an extent that this after
Moons game will be fought, not
only from a standpoint of athletic
superiority but in personal fighting
spirit engendered last night
Capt. Kunzig, of Spokane, says
his men are in fine condition to
withstand Seattle's onslaughts. He
predicts victory for his men.
Coach Varnell, of Spokane, is also
strutting like a turkey not fat
enough for this Thanksgiving, and
saying that he expects to keep Sc
attic from scoring.
The grounds at Natatorium park
are muddy. This is an advan-
tage for Seattle, say the wise
ones. However, Spokane defeated
Multnomah in sea of mud and
demonstrated considerable ability
on a slippery ground.

A COMPARISON.

The report of the secretary Of the
Grand junction Fruit Growers asso-
citation, recently published, is of i'm.
portance to Hood River growers, in
sofar as it shows the net returns for
fruit in that section, where land ia
selling at twice and three times as
much as it is here, and also the ex.
tent OF the business handled by that
association.
Shipments of fruit for the season
aggregated s67, $50 packages, or 2S,-
500, S2S pounds, equal to 1852 cars OF
$4,000 pounds each, 10l7 cars by
freight and the balance by express
and local freight. The total amount
paid to growers was 1856, sl3.44.
OF this amount the apple CROP
amounted to over 2l4, 600 boxes. The
average received for the fancy apples
was sl.0l pc, box, SO cents for choice,
and As cents tor half boxes. Com
pared with Hood River, our average
price for the entiie output of COM
mercial apples was sl.49, while the
average for the fancy grades, com.
pared with the Colorado prices, will
be double.
The actual average returns from
whole district Is the best proof Of the
net profits made in growing apples,
and no apple growing section has yet
made returns that will equal those
from Hood River. The Colorado fruit
section is much older than this, aud
land values have gone up there until
the price of land much higher than
it Is here. 1t is but an indication Of
what may be expected here, as time
passes, and we continue to make the
best pI oilts from apple raising on our
land. In no instance have any of the
other apple growing sections any ad-
vantage over Hood River--in soil.
climate, transportation facilities or
scenic attractions. Hood River still
holds the lead, and will continue to
hold it.

The bill for the creation of Cascad,
county was killed in the senate Fri
day afternoon by trickery. The com
mittee looking after our interests re-
lied too much on the pledged word oi
the chairman of the senate committee
on counties, and found out to olatt
that be wilfully and msliciously lied
to them. After promising that the
committee would not report the bill
until this week, and enough Of our
friends had gone home, they reported
the bill In the closing hours of the
senate, with barely majority pres
ent, for indefinite postponement. The
report was carried by majority Of
two present, and the bin killed. Tho
senator who Hood River elected must
have been in desperate straits when
he was unwilling to make fair fight,
but must needs stoop to dirty politics
and stab us IN the back. The fact is
he did not dare allow it to come to a
vote, IL he could prevent 1t. The out
come is unfortunate, as it simply
postpones the matter, while the feel
ing against The Dalles and the high
handed methds grows. 1t is not to
the business interests of the present
county seat to prolong the fight, and
political interests will likewise suffer.
Hood River is getting stronger every
year, and will organize solid for coun-
ty division above all other political
questions.

PRIMARY Law TO
REMAIN INTACT

Salem, Feb. l2--Any change in the
primary law was killed In the senate
Tuesday by the indefinite postpone
ment of two bills, by Bailey, of Multi
nmah, one providing tor the election
at primaries Of delegates to state con.
ventions called to elect delegates to
national convention and porcelain
party platforms; the other changing
Statement No. / for the election vi
United States senators so that men,
bers OF the legislature might pledge
themselves to vote tor their party's
choice and not tor the peoples
choice.
The first bill was killed by q vote of
Is to II and the second bill by vote of
q to 8.
Debate on the Statement No. bill
grew sharp. Bowerman detected an
omission from the first bill which
would not only have exempted county
elections from the operation OF the
primary law, but would have disjoint-
cd the primary law. The first bill
amended section Of the law, the first
part of which 1t purported to repeal,
but in the clause subjecting nomina-
tions to the law, 1t read IA primary
nominating election shall be held sub
ieot to the provisions of this law for
senator In congress and all other
elective state, district, precinct, city,
ward and all other officers" leaving
out county. which is contained in
the existing law.
Bailey said tie omission was an
oversight and not Intentional, and
offered to correct 1t, but Nottingham
moved indefinite postponement, and
against Bailey's opposition the mo-
tion carried. As the bill repealed all
parts Of the primary law in conflict
with 1t, Bowerman said the primary
law would have beeen disjointed.
The next bill then came up and
Nottingham moved indefinite post
ponemsnt Of this also. Bailey, Wheal-
don and Beach sought to save the bill
from the cemetery, and Nottingham,
Bingham and Malarkey tried to send
1t there. Bailey argued that the bill
would protect party integrity against
forces that had recent
ly afflicted the republican party.
