Standard and Times. From the num-
Der and forcible language of the let

evident that those who were so un-

a hornets nest they were stirring.
Not only is it Christian sentiment that
has been aroused over the matter, but
the hostility ofrJcws who are either
Indifferent, unorthodox or only Jews

desire nothing but to be allowed to
get along smoothly and unctiously, Of

at anybody. but just piling up money

rigid judicial silence marks the cCli-

dashed the sea into a frenzy. Neptune

in such a case would not be silvern,
while silence is golden. The great
Jewish firms will continue to adver-

Christian customers, and the world
will wag along as usual. Fincsse is a

logic.

The FLEET ON It's WAY.

The trip of the battle fleet to Ameri-
can waters on the Pacific coast has
attracted widespread attention not only
in this country but in Europe and Asia.
The starting of the fleet from Hampton
Roads was an event calculated to
arouse the patriotism of every An1eri-
can. Aside from the advisability of
the cruise, the very fact that the
United States has sixteen modern,
first-class battleships, carrying more
than 800 guns and 1900 officers and
men and ammunition and equipment
for a. cruise of more than $4,000 miles
is an event in itself sufficient to merit
the attention which has been given
to it.
Perhaps it Is an unfortunate time
for this maneuvre and perhaps it
would have been better to have dc.
layed a while, but once the matter
was decided upon it was imperative
that it should be carried out. If the
United States government has no right
to send war vessels into it's own waters
We should know about it at once.
The rapidity with which great works
are accomplished in these days is evil
denced by the fact that every one of
the magnificent vessels which sailed
under the command of Admiral Evans
We're built and launched since the
Spanish American war. The Kear-
sarge and the Kentucky, the oldest of
the sixteen vessels, were in process of
construction at the time of that war.
while the CONNECTICUT, the Kansas,
the Vermont, the Louisiana, and Min
nesota, the newest vessels, have just
been finished. The fleet which sailed
from Hampton Roads represents prop
erty costing more than $10O,OOO,O 900.
The success Of the cruise in the opin-
ion of Admiral Rojestvensky, who took
the Russian fleet around Africa in the
Russian-Japan war, depends on the
ability of Admiral Evans to make the
different points on the cruise on sched-
ule time, taking with him every unit
of the fleet. The difficulty in such
extensive cruises consists in keeping
the fleet together in overcoming me-
chanical difficulties, and making the
sloWest and oldest boats keep up with
the fastest. In time OF war, the in
ability Of some ships to keep up would
mean exposing them to attack Prior
TO the feat Of the Russian fleet in the
Japanese War, 1t was not considered
practical for heavy war vessels to
make long cruises. The greatest diff
Guilty that confronted the Russians was
the necessity of coaling at sea. This
OF course our fleet will not be conf
PEELED to do, as it might be in time of
war.
The trip of the American fleet will
be an expensive one, but from the
standpoint of efficiency the money is
probably we'll expended. Ships are no
good to a country unless they are
manned by sailors able to sail them
and to serve the guns. Russia had
ships thought to be superior to any
Japan had. but Russia fell an easy VIC
tim to the Japanese gunncrs. Russia
lost millions OF dollars in destroyed
vessels and lost her prestige in the
East because the men who manned the
Russian ships We're united for their
duties.

The Smile and the Dollar

According to the very best in
formation obtained, we pass this
way but once, and when we step
into the valley of the shadow, all
our earthly belongings will be left
behind. Not a cow, nor q sheep,
not an acre of land, not dollar Of
money, will go into the grave with
US. Why, then, should men race
through life in a mad fight for gold,
brushing all the better things
aside when at last it must be IN
loaded at the top? Would it not
be better to smile little and do a
few good deeds as we went long ?
Would 1t not be a better plan to
put flower into the hand of some
sadhearted person struggling along
the road of life, than to clinch an
almighty dollar until cold death
forced US to relinquish it?. Wood

Hood River Apples

Oscar Vanderbilt OF Hood River,
Ore, sold forty bushel boxes of the
Winter Banana apple to a Portland
dealer at So per box, who sold
them to New York buyer for SD
per box. The boxes were packed
SO to ga to the box, so the New
Workers will pay 20 cents each for
the apples wholesale. Mr.. Van
derbilt also sold sixty boxes of De-
liccious apples to Portland dealer
for SO per box.
The Hood River Apple Growers
Union has marketed its crop of
apples for a fancy figure. Spitzen-
berg apples brought $3.27 la per
box this year and Newton Pippins
brought $2.75 per box. This crop
will be mar keted in the east. The
crop of Hyde King, Ortley and
Red Cheek varieties were sold to a
firm at Vladivistock, Russia and
will be exported.
Fruit lands around Hood river

The Story of
A Faithful Dog

Nine thousand feet up on the
Colorado mesa was where | met
Katie the sheep dog. While was
chatting with her master aud she
peacefully dozed, party of sheep
decided that they would start out
exploring.
The herder saw and stood up.
Chip he shouted. Where are
you going You'd better turn
back there!'
The band stopped short and gazed
at him. They plainly hesitated.
Then the old eve which had the
lad gave defiant shake of her
head, whereupon, followed by the
others, she impudently moved on.
Katie, said the herder softly,
do you see those sheep, and what
they're doing Go after them,
Katie. Turn them back. Show
them what's what. "
Away sped Katie, with all her
might, straight for the Grant band /;
and in the time that it takes for
the telling she had launched her
sci in front of the band The
very sound of her crashing through
h brush, had made them stop
ttey suspected what was about to
happen. Then, at the first glimse
OF her, in panic they wheeled
like a cavalry squad and rushed for
the main herd. Across their
heels darted Katie, back and forth.
One little lamb must have lost its
wits. for it insisted upon running
IN the wrong direction. Katie
made after it. She tried to turr
. it right; but it was as obstinate
as any pig; until finally, exasper
ated, Katie, seized it by the nap'
of the neck and gave a good nip
Then Katie looked back at US. TIL
herder raised high his right arm
as signal for her to cease. Thel
he brought his arm down and brisk
ly slapped his thigh. Katie under
stood.
