HOMEMADE PAPER
HOTEL BEAT HAS A FINE sYs-
 ITEM.
Stranger Touring the South Has Left . Trail of Spurious Checks ana
 New York ExeaanRe.

If any clever business man in the South happens to be fortunate enough to own d first-class hotel and gem tleman seeks accommodation therein and writes the name "Brandt m front of the place where all men are supposed to be able to vote. he had better get his money first.
 This of course. does not apply to all the people named Brandt. for the name ts quite common. and Is used to identify a great many of the best people in the country, but the particular Brandt that is the hero of this story carries along with him 8 full-fiedged and cornplets bank certifying outfit that might be the envy and source of ad- miration of the best-regulated financial institution in the country.
 The Mir. Brandt here referred to nss recently, and now so far as latest ad- vices go, is making a practice of reg istering at the best hotels iu this part of the country and making a handsome New York exchange up in hts room suficientiy large ir amount to pay his bill and supply funds for a few days travel in the direction of another good hotel.
 Mir. Brandt has with him, so hotel men say, complete equipment or pank paper production, including all shades of ink, style of ch eclSs and other pecu- liar features of the biggest banks In New York and can manufacture New York exchange for any amount and in any color and form in a short time.
 So well did this -manufacturer Of New York exchange do his work that he ate welf slept well and had the best possible attention of one of the largest hotels in Montgomery. another in Mobile and several others In nearby cities. within the past week, for which he maid in his own home made paper.
 He is reported to have by far the most perfect bank paper making outnt ever invented, and uses 1t With an ar tIstic skill that is admirable to every one who sees it, except the victims.

 Since women have entered the bus mess world like tidal wave, there is a good deal of questioning going on as to how they are treated. Half of them complain that men are rude The otlI- CTS declare all men are angels of po- likeness.
 Some clever people have been trying to sum up the situation and thay be. iieve that the girl to whom That's are or in the business world is the one who;
 Doesn't wear clothes that attract un. pleasant attention.
 Doesn't oRie every man she meeta when she is asking him business question.
 Doesn't put paint and powder on her face instead of plenty of water ana
 Dossa,t think 1t ia clever to use the latest slang.
 Doesn't let men call her at any tima without the prefix Miss
 Doesn't make intimates in the com nerciai world. but Is courteous to ev. cry one. m ~
 Doesn't listen to gossip and private affairs and doesn't tell any of hers
 Doesn't expect every man to walt on her and take time to listen to her love affairs.

Hood River County

This bill is submitted under the in
itiative for the following, among
other, reasons:
A county is public corporation
and it is apparent that section 2 OF
article XI, of the Constitution OF
Oregon, as amended, reserves to the
people the right to create county by
initiative vote.
There is no general law for the
creation of counties now, and no one
knows when, if ever, there will be
one. The facts as to area, population
and assessed valuation show that we
are able to maintain county govern
ment, Out OF population OF about
$500 the desire of county for the
Hood River country is earnest and
unanimous with the exception OF
small fraction of one per cent. We
are assured by leading citizens OF The
Dalles, Dufur and other portions OF
Wasco county that they have no OBJ
iections to the creation of Hood River
County as proposed in this bill. More
than 400 residents Of The Dalles and
Durfur have signed the petitions ask
ing that this bill be submitted to a
vote at the June election, though
forty-hve names from Dufur were re-
ceived too late to be filed with the
Secretary of State.
The people of the Hood River
country therefore ask favorable con-
sideration of the voters of the State
upon this bill for these, among other
reasons:
| Because the new county will be a
great benefit to the people residing
therein and will facilitate the transac
ton of their county business.
Because as the law stands a county
cannot be created by the Legislature
and finally,
Because the people of The Dalle
and the balance of Wasco County ar
willing that Hood River County ma,
be created as provided in this bill.
The assessed valuation in the pro
posed Hood River County in 1908 wa
$oOS, $4,000; in 1906 was $l,6l8,6C
showing a gain in valuation from 100
to 1906 of $7l0,10200, or about 70 pc
cent. The valuation in 1907 was 81
2,2s0O0; a gain over 1906 Of 81, ,l43
$4,000, or about 70 per cent, shown
