own country, however, vary, and
these variations are not always un-
cerstood by our own people, and they
are liable to be misunderstood by
the immigrants. For instance, an i'm
migrant arriving in one section Of the
United States may hear Of some other
section where, he is told, the condi-
tons are much better. It is quite nat
ural that he should not understand
the Disadvantages of the other sec
ton and should become dissatisfied
and want TO go elsewhere.
learn through one Of my brother
commissioners that the planters Of
Hawaii early this year sent an agent
TO the Azores Which are peopled by
Portugese, and succeeded in securing
ship load under contract to engage
in sugar planting in the Hawaiian
Islands. Shortly after arriving at that
destination a general exodus to Cali
fornia ensued, owing to the report OF
better wages prevailing; in that State.
This instance seems closely analogous
to that which we have recently eNpe-
rienced in our owns State. and goes TO
prove that the immigrant, no matter
how mach ne may be lettering his
original condition by immigration,
Will not hesitate TO better himself af-
ter arrival at his first destination on
learning that better wages or condi-
tons prevail elsewhere. A., an Ell
denee of the interest of the imnli-
grants in our country. ( quote the
following from a recent official re-
port:
Distribution through labor agents
is the most satisfactory method for
the unskilled worker. The most ef-
fective is through the United States
and International Mail Ser
vice.
Through this channel reliable in
formation as to employment, wages,
ard location is given by the relatives
or friends in the United States to the
immigrant before he leaves
his native land. The relative or friend
in the mine, factory or work Of con-
struction, knows if there is a shortage
of labor Or room here FOR his relative
or friend i'll Europe. The magnitude
of the international Mail and Money
Order System Of the United States, to-
gether with the fact that the great
mass of immigrants go unerringly to
the States where wages are highest
and their services in greatest demand,
indicates the effectiveness of the sys-
tenn and the accuracy of the informa-
ten"

other members Of the commission. If
we are to get the benefits Of imr1igra-
ton we must make the first ones who
come over satisfied with the condi-
tons they find. If we do this they
will write home to their friends and
relatives, who will follow.
I will mail this letter at GIBRALTAR,
where our ship will call, and will try
to write occasionally while on the
rip. On reaching Naples we begin
our study Of the conditions surround
ing the immigrant in his native land,
and the causes that induce him to
emigrate. From Italy We will go
northward The exact itinerary has
rot been fully determined, and may
be changed to suit circumstances. We
are scheduled to sail from Liverpool
fer home on August 20, and will
reach New York about September 6.

MAT TInGS!
Mh1TINGS! MA1lINGS!

There is something radically wrong
with the mating business, that has
been our experience this season with
it. We are not selling whatwe ought
to, and feel assured we are not sell
ing our usual quantity. We buy this
class of goods as we buy everything
else, i'm large quantities and for cash,
and believe our taste i'm the selection
of patterns is all right, but still they
do not move as we would like to See
them go. 1t requires about 90 per
cent of our sales to pay the bills, and
Judging from the stock we have OH
hand, it is doubtful whether more
than two thirds of these have been
sold. We can't afford to keep this
money tied up in them, we need it
too badly, they have got to go. For
the next week ourprices on Mattings
will be SO attractive that these i'm
need of any will make mistake if
they fail to get our prices before buy
ing.
We have a few Art Squares that
we are also anxious to dispose OF.

drink and impressed upon the young
men the uselessness and costiliness Of
this evil. It was a rather remarka bic
scene. which was typical of the era,
though contrary to the traditions Of
the country, a southern senator in
Weighing against whiskey when all
the stories picture southern statesmen
as heavy drinkers. In conclusion Mr..
Carn?ack referred 70 the effectiveness
Of religion and urged upon the young

The Bingen correspondent OF the
Hood River Glacier now speaks OF
White Salmon as one of the suburbs
of Bingen.
Hood River has to wait another two
years for the county division pIopo-
sition, as the legislature did not see
fit to grant it this year. We believe
the wise solons of Oregon made mis-.
take, for the people of our sister city

year fighting in the legislature until
they succeed, and the sooner the bill
is passed the sooner the fight will be
over.

TAKEALOOK AT
UND Err OOD

Underwood, WASH, offers the only
remaining chance of purchasing first
class fruit land in the famous Hood
River district at reasonable price.
Underwood is only two miles from
Hood River, Gust across the Columbia)
and in addition to all that Hood River
can grow, Underwood, being better pro-
tected, has peach crop of the highest
quality EVERY year, while her stIawber-
ries are ten days earlier and catch the
big prices. Should you like something
beside fruit, how does three crops OF
alfalfa, to 6 feet tall, six tons to the
acre, Without irrigation, strike you?
That is what B. F. Beals of Under
wood does while he Is resting.
Underwood offers some of the most
delightful locations for homes of any
place on the Columbia river. Magnif-
cent views of mounia aims, rivers and
valleys, pure bracing mountain air,
southern exposure, protected from the
raw upstream winds.
The land has been held by old set
tiers, content to make living in other
ways than growing fruit, but with
the building OF the North Bank road, OH
which the rails are now being laid, this
land is coming on the market, and the
prices now are certainly lower than any
to be found ON the Oregon side of equal
quality, especially when you remember
that Underwood is now only 20 minutes
from HOOD River, while in six months
Hood River will be coming over to ship
her fruit on OUR railroad and then it
will take more money to buy Under
wood land.
We have several tracts of both i'm
proved and timber land for sale. If

Saturday evening Rev. MIR. Lewis
was called to Bingen to unite in the
bonds of matrimony Mr.. Alex Larson
and M iss Laura Christopherson. Mr..
Larson is employed in the contsruc.
tion work of the North Bank railroad
and Miss Christopherson had just ar
rived from, Christiana, Norway, to
become his bride.
When Il. Field came down to his
office Wednesday morning he found
his black bill board painted white.
Some gay joker had been busy during
the small hours of the night and this
was the result. Paint Is needed In q
great manysplaces around town but In
spite of that fact it will get in the
wrong place sometimes.
Again the stork has visited the fam.
lily ofsthe editor and left struggling,
squalling bit OF humanity in our
midst. This is the eighth time this
species of bird has visited our domi-
cile and we believe that President
Roosevelt and the editor of the Gold
endale Sentinel will now both be sat
isfied with the showing and allow US
to rest on our we'll earned laurels. 1t
is a girl this time and arrived last
Thursday.
There Is a movement now on foot to
build a trolley line from White Sal
mon to the depot at Bingen. This is
proposition that can be carried out
by our own people and We will not be
under the necessity of interesting
outside capital. An estimate has been
made and the cost of the line stated
at about $40, 900. This would be east
ly within the reach Of our local capt.
talist4. Such line would put us d.
rectly in touch with the railroad when
1t Is finished and would put US on a
par with a,town directly on the line.
In fact, we would be In better posi-
tion than an ordinary town on the
main line for we would have some Of
the advantages Of terminal. Such a
line would carryEpractically all of the
freight going and coming from this
town and the entire valley Of the
White Salmon. Many citizens have
signitied their willingness to sub.
scribe liberally for stock In this en-.
terprise, and OF course Bingen would
help. We believe our local banks
could be depended upon to carry the
project through 1t the stock we're sub
scribed by responsible parties.

DEALERS IN ARDENT TO
ENTER INTO NEW LINES
Many Continue in Business
Here.

I Americus liquor dealers, like hun
dreds throughout the State, will seek
other avocations three weeks hence,
when, on January list, Georgia will
be annexed to the Sahara desert and
the water wagon alone will cater
to those with parched throats.
Many of those here have been en-
gagged in the liquor business for a
long number of years, and it will be
some time, perhaps, ere they can
settle down to other pursuits.
In fact, but few have fully deter
mined what they will do.
Mr.. R. L. Mcleod, as is well known,
will engage in the wholesale grocery
business after January 1st, being
connected with the new company
which will occupy the new and mod
ern Mitchell building just erected on
Lamar street.
Mr.. McLeod's two stores will remain
occupied by others, one as a restau-
rant and the other as a retail groc-
cry store.
Mr.. E. j. McGehee will retain his
store in the Byne block and may en-
ter the retail grocery business later,
although he has formulated no plans
to that end as yet.
Mr.. w N. Booker will leave Am
ericus, going to Troupe county to
engage in farming. He has leased a
fine sixteen mule plantation there
and will thus return to his former
avocation after having engaged in
the liquor business several years.
Mr.. w. B. Hudson, one Of the larg-
est dealers here, has not fully deter
mined just what he will do
He owns the large and well locat-
ed double stores on Lee street and
may continue on there in another
line, possibly carrying a line of heavy
groceries, vehicles and planters sup
plies generally. But as yet he has
no definite plans.
Mr.. Hudson operates under lease
another store on Cotton avenue.
Whether this will be leased for any
other business is not fully known
Mr.. S. L. Sills, who owns two large
saloons here, one on Lamar street
and one on Cotton avenue, may go
West to reside, and is considering
advantageous offers to that end. In
such event his two storehouses would
be for rent.
1t is quite likely that there will
be a few "empties" after the business
is discontinued in January.
