The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1910-06-16

Carl A. Plath, of this city, has with
characteristic enterprise, demon.
strated his ability to keep abreast OF
the times by connecting himself with
the largest druggists cooperation IN
America. The men connected with
this enterprise do yearly business
aggregating over SIS, 100000, which
we'll emphasizes its soundness and
magnitude.
About three thousand retail drug
gists throughout the United States
have organized themselves as a coop
erative company for the purpose OF
producing line of medical prepara-
tions which they recommend, absolute
ly guarantee and back up with their
own names and personal regulations.
The formulas of these remedies are
thoroughly known to every one OF
these druggists and the ingredients OF
each will be truthfully described tC
the public and the remedies sold with
the distinct understanding that theli
purchase price will be instantly re.
funded without question or bubble II
they fail to benefit the user.
One Thousand different formula
were turned over to the company
Each formula being selected because
of its tested and proved value anC
established reputation, gained through
continued and successful use by proml
nent physicians.
A research committee of eXper
chemists and physicians made mos
| thorough and exhaustive test OF eacl
one of these one thousand prescriptions
until they had selected about three
hundred as being the very best ant
most dependable known to medica
science, each for the treatment ant
cure of particular ailment.
These three hundred remedies arr
now manufactured by the company
which is known as the United Drug
Co.. Boston, Mass, in the largest
most modern and best equipped phar
maceutical laboratories in America.
The tremendous output of this com
pany enables it to purchase drugs
herbs and other necessary material II
very large quantities. The co-opera
ton and professional advice of 800
leading druggists guarantees the hlg
quality of everything used ana guar
antees that only formulas of eXtraor
binary merit are used in the manutac
turing of their products.
The preparations of the company ar
shipped direct to the retail druggist
who are connected with the enterprise
Thus their absolute freshness is as
sured it is impossible for their quait
to deteriorate, there are no middlemen
; or jobbers' profits to be added to thei
cost, and the public can obtain thes
products at actual cost of manufacture
plus a single retail profit.

No rural mail carrier has been Sc
cured yet for Route No. l and Post.
master Yates has almost despaired OF
securing one. The east side people
are still coming to town for their mail.
No man can be found who will drive
the route furnishing his own team for
$500 of Uncle Sans money, although
the route patrons make up side sub
scription. If the Newtown postotfice is
established an effort it will be made to
have carrier take the mail from here
to the new office so that he will receive
additional pay as a star route carrier.
If this plan can be adopted it is posi-,
BILE that other offices may be establihed
in the county on the route so as to
increase the pay of the carriers in that
way. A telegram received last week
from Senator Bourne stated that there
was no possibility of getting more than
the maximum for the local carriers

POPLAR BOND SUBSCRIPTION.

The suggestion of Mayor Mcdonald
in his message to the council Tuesday
night that the citizens of Hood River
insure the sale of the $50, 900 issue OF
municipal water bonds by popular
subscription should meet with the ap-
proval of the taxpayers. Hood River
needs and must have a new water
supply. The bond market is not good
at this time and while the chances are
that a good bid will be forthcoming
for the city bonds it is possible that IT
may not. If an outsider bids higher
he will get the bonds and the chances
are that higher outside bids will be
received if local people show faith IN
their own securities. While the rate OF
interest is not high, it will be more
than made up to subscribers in the
greater valuation chat a pure and ade-
quate water supply will put upon Hood
River property.
Portland is having some trouble If
selling bonds for the construction OF
the Broadway bridge and has resorted
to popular subscription to raise the
money. The following from the Oregon
ian of yesterday is directly applicable
to Hood River and its conditions;
"Now there is trouble about raising
money for construction of the bridge.
The bond market is stagnant. 1t is
not easy to borrow money for any
public purpose at advantageous rates.
BUYERS will not offer fair price for
even so sound and remunerative a
security AS bridge backed by the
CITY Of Portland. Yet a beginning
must be made on the Broadway bridge.
Money must be had now. The Mayor
has undertaken to raise $3.50, 900 by a
popular bond subscription. Why not!
1t is a good investment. 1t is great
public enterprise. There is plenty
of money in Portland.
at would seem that here is fine
opportunity for the banks of Portland
to act as fiscal agent for the city IN
the placing of these bonds, for 1t

A few years ago when Hood River
needed better telephone service her
citizens arose to the occasion and
financed their own company. Pure
water is a much greater asset to a
town than telephone service. While
recent developments would make II
seem that the investors in the Home
Telephone company were not exactly
gaining the ends they expected there
is no danger of such a result on the
water system. it will be owned and
controlled by the municipality, beyond
the reach of private parties. Buyers
of telephone stock have never received
any interest on their investment while
the buyer of Hood River bond hal
the assurance of the best town on the
map that he will get his money. The
town that built its own telephone plant
now much older and wealthier, shoult
be able to finance its own water system
if it is necessary.
