Hood River.-At the meeting Of the
Commercial Club held Tuesday eve
ming. at which Charles Hall presided
for the first time, a large attendance
greeted the new president The busi-
ness of great interest to come before
the meeting was the report of the
committee recently appointed to
look into the matter of attempting
to get the state normal school locat-
ed at Hood River.
Attorney f. c. Smith who is chair
man of the committee which con-
sisted of himself, Chas. Hall, D. J.
Treiber and C. T. Early made the re-
port. An interview which several
members of the committee had with
Mr. H. w. Scott, the veteran editor
of the Oresonian, Mr.. Smith said, in
dicated that Hood River would get
the support of the Oregonian If it
decided to ask for the school. 1t was
understood that Monmouth, which
already has buildings that were erect
ed for normal purposes was the only
probable competitor for the school.
The sanitary conditions of the latter
place owing to bad drainage were,
however, detrimental to locating the
school there permanently.
d. ]. Treiber, one of the committee,
spoke in favor of the proposition
stating that it was the sentiment of
the committee not to put up n fight
for the school, but to ask the state to
locate it at Hood River on account
of its central location and other de-
sirable features. He believed he said,
that it would add greatly to the pres
| tige of the city and prove a benefit
! in many other ways
j. L. Henderson spoke against go
| ing into a fight to have the school
! located here on the ground that he
! thought it would be an injury to
other interests the city might ask the
( state to take up and from the point
of view that there were already three
sets of building at various places in
| the state which could be used for the
purpose and that he thought the tax
payers would be opposed to it.
/ c. r. Roberts who was present
suoke enthusiastically of the good he
/ thought the school would do here in
number of ways and suggested that
! the committee get into communica-
! ton with DIR. Eliot with a view OF
having him donate a site and grounds
/ for the institution.
On motion of c. r. Early the re-
port of the committee was accepted
and the committee was continued
with instructions to devise a plan OF
campaign and take steps to hold
mass meeting to submit the matter
10 the residents in general.

"The Lion and the Mouse"

A notable feature of Charles
Klein's The Lion and the Mouse"
which The United Play Co. brings to
the Grand on Dec. 2Sth is the whole
some and distinct drawing of the
various characters in the story.
There cannot be found in the play
q william, a frivolous matron, a way
ward girl, nor an adventures.
Nowadays it is indeed a rare occurr-
ence to visit the theatre without
having to hear the doings and mis-
doings of one or more of such char
acters on the stage. Mr.. Klein has
displayed a wonderful knowledge of
what is most desired by the public
of today over the footlights, and his
treatment of the people in this
pleasing play shows delightful
sympathy on the part of the drama
fist. The cleanliness of THE Lion
and the Mouse" has been a huge
factor in the remarkable success en-
joyed by this interesting and well
told story of certain phases of the
money world of this country.

CITY BUILDING.

One of the striking things aboul
the new census figures is the tire
mendous differences shown in the
rate of growth Of different cities
One will remain nearly stationary
while another has doubled in II
years. Why the difference? Is il
mere luck?
If one could get back into recon
dite causes, it would usually be
found that the growing city had men
who had vision of municipal pro
gress above ordinary hum-drum
trade. They saw that for every dol
lar they could make by getting bust
ness away from competitors, they
could make several dollars by in
creasing city growth, thereby swell
ing the total to be divided among
the business men.
One type of man and one type Of
city is merely interested in business
returns that are sure of being garn.
cred the same day or week or year
Another type is continually sowing
seed, the harvest of which cannot be
predicted, but which surely comes
with unforeseen bounty some time.
The reason why things did not &c
we'll with Teddy at the elections
was that the cost of living for the
whole nation was being augmented
by these initiation fees to the

He Would Succeed.

Ottumwa Courier: No boy or man
ever advanced his position in life
by doing as little as he could and
hold his job. The person who gets
advanced has to show that he is
worthy of it. He has to do his work
little better and a little faster than
those around him or there is no rea-
son for advancement. One must ex-
eel in what he is now working at,
or there is no evidence that he
wants to advance or is worthy of be-
ing advanced. The man who hangs
back from doing the best he can
every day, will never be advanced,
and it is his own fault. Every man
who is looking for advancement
must do his part to get it. He must
not put in his time thinking up some
imaginary excuse to make himself
mad, and tell himself he is getting
the worst of it. The party who
does that is simply working con-
fidence game on himself. He is
making himself dissatisfied, and the
chances are that if he will get to
work and do his part for himself
and his family and his employer he
will go right ahead.
The men who are going up from
the bottom, are the ones who always
did little more than was expected
of them. The man who tries to do
as little as he can for a days work,
is simply viewing life from the druid
gerry and he breads it, as does
lazy horse that has to be constantly
whipped.
The man who tries to do his work
better each day, and tries to do a
little more enjoys his occupation and
can work at a high speed for hours
after the fellow who is just putting
in the time, has given out
Every man, TO get advanced, has
got to show that he is worthy of
advancement. The higher he goes
the harder he has to work.
The antiseptic bank note is the
latest device of a germ-ridden age.

Birch Used for SnOOls.

The U. S. Department of Agricu[
ture is authority for the statement
that the paper birch, often called
also white birch, or canoe birch, is
one of the few timber trees in this
country which seems TO be holding
their own against ak and fire. The
average citizen. however, probably
takes no particular interest in the
paper birch. Yet it is doubtful if
any other kind of wood on the face
of the earth is found in so many
households; for paper birch fur
nishes most of the spools made in
the United States.

Wishers,"
The little window wishers with
their tender eyes of blue,
Standing there before the toy
shops, don't they touch the

Don't you almost SILVER with
them, as their tattered
clothes you see,
The ragged little urchins, with
the patches on each knee?
Can you see them longing.
yearning in sweet child
hoods wistful way
And forget them in your PLAN
ming for a Merry Christmas
day?
; Oh, the little window wishers,
baby hearts and baby eyes.
With their trusting faith in
Santa gazing there in glad
surprise.
At the dollies and the soldiers
and the Teddy bears, believ-
ing
That they will not be forgot
ten. Can You see them
without grieving?
Can you think of them on
. Christmas when the merry
morning starts
Disillusioned, walking up to
empty stockings - broken
hearts?
} oh, the little window wishers,
looking longingly today
At the wonders in the top
) shops in sweet childhood's
wistful way
Dreaming dreams of Christ
mas stockings filled with
> candies and with toys;
Just as full of faith and fancy
as your own girls and your
boys.
When you see their big eyes
glisten as these splendid
things they view,
Can you rush by and forget
them, don't they touch the
heart of you?
