A Brilliant Reception.

The members and friends of the
Valley Christian church rendered a
reception to their new minister and his
wife, Rev. and Mrs. Isaac Peart. IL
was indeed most brilliant affair.". in
fact it took the form of an ovation.
At 1880 the people began to arrive IN
their automobiles and carriages. 1t
was a fine scene to see twelve auto
mobiles around church. The sight
was imposing. The seating capacity
proved too small for the gathering.
Prof. Murphy was master Of cere-
monies and Mr.. and Mrs. Gibbons were
the receivers and presented the people
TO MIR. and Mrs. Peart. Addresses OF
welcome were delivered by the follow
ING ministers: The Revs. Ford, Tate,
Wood. Gilmore, Davidson and Adams,
also an address by Leslie Butler;
These addresses were excellent ano
we'll received. The pastor responded,
The boys band played to the delight
of all. Mrs. ReaVis, the choir leader,
and her daughter, the organist, sang
duet which was well rendered.
At the close of the program refresh
ments were served, consisting of ice
cream and cake. This closed the most
elaborate reception ever given in this
noted place, or at least this was the
opinion of the oldest residenters. Con
trihuted.

That the science Of properly raising

Politicians OPEN SEASNON.

That the open season for politicians
"a NOW ON was indicated Wednesday by
the appearance in Hood River OF .. I.
uoff State Commissioner Of Labor
and Factory Inspector. Mr.. Hon cal
led at the Glacier Office and tried to
cheer us up after the inspection mold
nm which was worked on all the
country newspapers of the state few
months ago by his representatives
He tried to explain that the 80 which
the state taxed US for having man
spend ten minutes looking about the
sncp was prefectly just and money
we'll spept. However, we still fail 10
see it. In trying to show that thefe
was no grating and no extra inspec-
tors hired in his department, ne ex-
nIained that his department turned
over 81, 600 to the state treasury Which
thew could have spent If whey had been
able to think of anything to spend IT
for. The inspection of small printing
offices nets the state a pretty gooc
graft at that rate and while I'VE are
gratified TO now that a portion of oni
money gets by the army of petty oiiict
holders into the Golfers of the people
it seems reasonable that more Jus'
methods Of taxation might be framed
M, No matter who is inspected, th'
state should not conduct the inspection
business in order to keep a bunch o
ne'er do wells in jobs or to get
revenue for itself.
After we had explained to Mr.. Hoi
what we thought Of his inspection
game, of course it was not the pya
geological moment for him to tell u
that he was a candidate for reelection
However, we have our guess that n
is after the Iotiice again and he carrie
good combination to win. He carrie
a card on which the most prominer
thing except his name in the unio
printers label which ought to cate
the union labor element. On the lap
