Preacher Discusses WOmen's Status.

At the Baptist church last Sunday
night in the discussion of the subject,
'"The Gentleman in his Relation to
Women" Mr.. Hargreaves spoke
plainly of the double standard in morals
and laid the responsibility for the
same at the door of the women, them
selves. He claimed that if women
would ostracize the libertine as they do
the fallen girl or woman, social condi-
tions would be more hopeful. Instead
of that, while the latter is refused So
cial recognition and even employment,
the former is admitted to the family
circle as friend. In fairness there is
but one standard and but one standard
should be recognized. The preacher
also referred to the relation of men
and women in the field of labor stating
that while gallantry in little points of
etiquette is alright and to be desired
it could certainly be as well shown in
the endeavor to have women receive
equal compensation for equal amount
of labor as by assisting them to alight
from a carriage. In brief it was as
serted that opportunities for gallantry
are more plentiful to the man Of today
than to the knights of ancient days and
that the highest type thereby is not al
ways spectacular.

Eilers Selling Many Pianos.

The Eilers piano sale which has been
going on at Bartmess' store for ten
days, has resulted in 18 pianos sold.
1t will be necessary to move all the
pianos this week. The Eilers agent
will accept purchasing checks on any
piano house and all parties holding
them will be able to use them this
week. Among the pleased customers
who have bought from the Eilers com
pany during the past few days was the
Phuathea Society. The Eilers com
pany has recently enlarged to embrace
great many more stores all over the
coast, and they can sell at very low
prices as a result. Hood River pur-
chasers are being given the advantage
of very easy terms and Eilers is able to
furnish pianos from 5000 up.

MAY SELL TO OUTSIDERS

Considerable has been printed in the
Portland papers during the past week
concerning the sale of the water and
light plant of the Hood River Electric,
Light, Power & Water CO., to the
Hood River Light & Power Co., re-
Gently incorporated by j. D. Wilcox,
Robert Smith and Writ Minor. Just
what will be the outcome and who the
ultimate owners of the local plant will
be is a matter of much conjecture.
The officials of the company acknow-
ledge that there is deal on and re-
Gently informed the city authorities
through A. c. Buck that owing to the
negotiations with outside parties they
did not care to open any dealings with
the city tending toward the sale of the
plant. N. c. Evans, the ever present
minority stockholder in the local COM
pany who has recently won several
suits from the men who control the
company, and who has other suits
pending, states that the plant can not
be sold as the present plans are. He
claims that the Smith-Wilcox people
hold an option given at $4,000 and
that he has offered to buy the plant at
$l20, 900 or to take up the stock of the
other shareholders with that figure as
basis of value.
Robert Smith, an incorporation of the
company which is supposed to hold the
option on the plant, was in Hood River
this week, but he refuses to give out
any definite information. He says that
his company proposes to take up its
option but refuses to shed any other
light on the question. Wilcox, who
seems to be the leader in the negotia-
tions with the local company, is pro-
moter, and it is believed by many peo-
pie that the Wilcox-Smith people do
not expect to own the plant, but are
merely agents expecting to be able to
sell the plant to larger interests which
are acquiring power projects through
out the state.
A. S. Hall has been here about two
weeks as the representative of outside
parties who are figuring on the plant
and seems to be trying to get line
on the possibilities of the local plant.
| j. Darlington, an expert accountant,
of Portland, recently audited the books
for the company. Just who these two
men represent is matter of conjecture
but it is thought that they have been
investing in the interests of the larger
concerns to which Smith and Wilcox
hope to sell the plant. The Portland
street railroad company is supposed to
be interested in the local company and
it is also rumored that the large con-
cern which recently acquired the power
works of the Wasco Milling & Ware
house 20. and which has recently Sc
cured number of Oregon power sites
is the buyer to whom the plant may
ultimately 90.
