Already there is evidence that

In the house will die stillborn. The
fight is a needless and useless one.
and without excuse or reason what
ever. Perhaps Mr.. Williams is
not perfection in craftsmanship
and in all the attributes of leader
ship, but he has presented the
country with the refreshing
spectacle of leader who leads. of
a statesman of marked ability who
is without ostentation, and of a
Congressman who has the courage
of his convictions. Since Mr..
Williams has filled the thankless
position Of minority leader the
Democrats have had a leader who
was the peer of any man on either
side, and whose power in debate
was respected and feared by the
opposition. Furthermore, he is a
Democrat without mental reserya-
tions, strong, robust, aggressive
Democrat. Nothing can be gained
by such petty warfare within our
own ranks, for the thing more than
anything else that we need just at
present is to get together, forget
our little differences aud present a
united front to the enemy in the
elections in 1908. We can only
fritter away our strength and pre-
sent the sorry spectacle of quarrel
ling over mere shell by persisting
in making a fight upon Mr..
Williams now.

Will Nichols team made things
pretty lively one day last week while
hauling hay on a stone boat. They
got scared and SO they struck the
ground on the high places; went
through a bsrEed wire fence then
struck out for town. Suppose they
we're celebrating little ahead of time ;
but Will caught up with them with
his fast roadster, via his bike.
We are hearing many complaints
and strong language used about the
condition Of the road leading from
the Rockford store to B. f. Shaemak
er's corner. Now | will just say that
it Is the most unsightly, most rocky,
most miserable road to travel over in
the entire valley of Hood River, and
no exception. We we're to have things
improved when we got the district di-
vided, but we fail to see any improve
ment on said road. 1t would be well
to petition the county commissioners
and also see the judge if something
cannot be done. Let us turn out and
fix it ourselves. There are already
three or four men who will give a few
days work on the said road.
We are informed that our neighboI,
Camp, has purchased ~ acres of land
about six miles out from Eugene and
will move there in short time. We
wish them success in their new home.

The base ball game Sunday between
Mt. Hood and White Salmon at this
place resulted in a complete victory
for Mt. Hood. The score was 10 tc o.
Our boys did some good playing, es.
pecially fine plays being made by Har-
ry Rood and Clifford Thomas. The
White Salmon boys took their defeat
very gracefully. Our boys say they
never played with more courteous
set OF fellows.
The many friends of Lou Baldwin
regret to learn of an unfortunate ac-

EhIck's barn near Odell, he fell and
in some way a piece of timber fell on
his wrist, crushing it badly. 1t is
hoped it will not prove so serious as
reported at first.
Miss Nan Cooper and her sister Nil
dred, came up from The Dslles last
Saturday to remain over the Fourth.
They expect tc start east over the Ca
madam Pacific on two months trip,
the latter part OF the week.
One inter esting feature of the cele-
bration will be a base ball game be-
tween the married men and the single
men. After last Sundays game the
boys think they can wipe up the earth
with them, hut the married men are
ol Mt. Hood boys themselves, and
will make it Interesting for them, to
say the least.

last Monday to spend his vacation
