these figures taken by it from
the Ice and Refrigeration Blue
Book, showing the contents of
the caverns wherein prices are
regulated: Ia, 100000 cattle; g.
100000 calves; 25,O0O,O00 sheep
and lambs; 100000 hogs; l.
80O,0O0,0OO eg G S; 1873, 900, 900
pounds of butter; fish in numbers
that the cold storage people place
on them the value Of $25, 100000
and other things in proportion.
The total valuation of the food
stuffs held in cold storage ap-
proximates $3,O0O,oOO, 900! Just
think of it,
What of the tariff? It is re-
sponsible? Have tariff schedules
anything to do with the high
prices which the cold storage
men are putting on their goods
and wares? There are some
things to be said in answer to
the statements made-with tears
in their eyes by the cold storage
men concerning the innocent
tariff. But there is one fact
that stands out pre-eminently
before the common people. The
fact is that before the days of
protective tariffs combines were
things unknown, and especially
unknown in food products con-
shutting the necessaries of life.
1t is to be considered also that
prior to the installation of pro
lection as part of the economic
policy of the federal government,
under Republican administration
and legislative control, the cattle
men of the plains were unable to
combine with the packers of
Chicago under terms which al
low them to sell their meat prod
ucts in Europe at prices far be.
low the prices charged to the
American consumer. Before the
days of protection there were nc
cold storage houses in which
food products could be stored
away to await demands in Eu-
rope or until the scarcity at home
would move the cold storage peo-
pie to dole out their wares at
prices made to suit themselves.
If the cold storage feature of
present econmic conditions is it
not due directly to the operations
and advantages of protective
tariffs, then the phenomenally
strange thing is the startling re-
semblance between the two.
With approximately So, 900, 600,
600 of food stuffs in cold stor-
age, it needs no ghost from be-
yond the grave to let the COM
mon folk appreciate the strangle
hold of the combines upon them,
with the combines the inevitable
outcome of a system of legisla-
ton based on privilege, and on
privilege only. -Owensboro Mes

GOlGOl 4NOWOs
AS | have been rather remiss
in correspondence lately, | here
by tender Thanksgiving, Christ
mas and Valentine greetings to
all your readers in 'The Old Ken
lucky Home"
AS usual, l am engaged i n
school duties, and my lines have
fallen in pleasant places.
We have 100 pupils enrolled, of
which 81 are in my department
and A in that of Miss Edna
Beam, my assistant.
We have nice, commodious,
painted school building, with bell,
patent desks and other up-to-
date equipments.
Grip and pneumonia prevail
in these borders, and small pox
is also near us.
AS all who know me are aware,
| am great believer in the in
fiuences of the moon over corn
planting, hog-killing and wood
cutting. | plant corn and Irish
potatoes in the moon, and would
not think of planting melon seed,
making soap, killing hogs or cut
ting wood when the sign is not
right.
Then | am a devout believer
in the ground hog as a soothsay-
er and a prophet. He does not
raise his voice in the streets,
does not behave himself unseen
ingly, is not always believing
out his weather predictions in
the chief places O f commerce;
but once year he takes wealth
er observation and his prognos-
tication is stamped with the seal
of prohesy.
When the hoarse blast of No
vember is abroad in the land,
when the harbingers draw nigh
that the pure and beautiful SHOWS
of Heaven will mantle the earth
and the streams will be bound in
icy letters, he draws the dra-
perry Of his couch about him and
his dawn to pleasant dreams.
Meantime, the votarieS of the
goosebone declare that snow,
rain sleet or Northern blasts will
howl, but the weather wise have
sweet confding faith in the
slumbering prophet. The signal
service men sweep the skies with
their telescopes, the wind guage
registers the weight of the air
with its velocity, the barometer
is consulted, while tOld Proba-
bility' takes on airs of superior
wisdom.
But all these human mackina-
tons contrivances are unreliable,
end are the storm, earthquake
and blaze of the tempest, which
were the rumblings of the still,
small voice that revealed things
momentous impact to Hanlis
prophet.
On the End day of February,
1910, the ground hog. the anoint-
ed and time honored seer, awoke
from his sleep of the just and
went out to see his shadow. This
did not appear as through a glass
darkly, but was plain as glare of
noon day sun. Then down went
the goosebone and signal service,
for prophet of old had spoken.

fano began tn ippT Of mo onJ

MISREPRESENTATION.

The Portland newspapers give a
good deal of space to Hood River in
their columns and for the most part
every item which appears under a
Hood River date line helps to spread
the name of the town and is benefit
However, frequently the city papers
contain items from here which fall
decidedly in ststing the truth. these
items do harm to Hood River. 1t
has always teen one of the greatest
prides OF the Hood River valley that
it stuck to the truth in Its publicity
literature and the truth has always
been good enough to draw s0me OF
the best people of the land to this
beautiful valley. MisIepI esentatiOns
which may look good on the surface
are bound to ieaot and react hard on
the place whence they come.
Recently an article appeared In the
journal which reflected on the integ-
rity of Assessor J. p. Lucas. The
facts as to the assessment of certain
lands in the upper valley has been
twisted and padded In such a way as
to intimate that corporate interests
had been given an advantage. A
simple statement of the facts served
to clear Mr.. Lucas but still the mis-
representation had gone forth and
could not be recalled.
The Oregonian account OF the meet
ing of the Fruitgrowers' Union
Saturday was a gross misrepresenta.
tion. The correspondent said there
was a "strong fight OF evenly match.
ed toroes" against the dissolution of
the union while as matter of tact a
more harmonious meeting could
scarcely be imagined. A. |. Mason,
who was not member of the union.
went to the meeting expecting 10 see
some friction hut left In disgust be.
fore it was over. There we're only
two votes cast against the dissolution
and these we're represented by q proxy
from nonresident, who had reqest-
ed that they be voted that way. The
Uregonian said that the dissolution
was carried "by the small majority
OF four votes out of ITO. Thus the
idea goes forth TO the world at large
that the fruit growers OF the Hood |
River valley are lighting among them
selves. The impression Is given that
the consolidation OF two eminently |
successful growers organizations for
purposes OF economy is the gobbling
up of a small fish by large one.
Whether the "penny.a liners" who
handle the oorresp ondenoe expect to
get more space by taking up stories
of sensations, scandals and contests
or whsther they expect by telling
plainly malicious lies to create sentl-
ment against their enemies 1t 10 hard
to tell, but the depravity OF either
is greatly to be deplored.

WHAT ABOUT THE NORMAL?

Hood River, town and valley, should
turn out In force Friday night at
the opera house for the Normal
School mass meeting. We believe
that no better location can be found
than Hood River for the one big state
Dormal school. 1t 10 our conviction,
further, than such an institution
would be a proper addition to our
community. We have to offer the
state, climate, scenery, healthful
surroundings, transportation facilities
and community OF citizens which
taken one at time or as a whole
cannot be surpassed on Oregon.
These would form an ideal environ.
ment for students who are preparing
to guide the coming generations. The
existence here of large group OF
students and teachers would afford
us unusal intellectual opportunities.
1t would probably not bring a
great deal of money into the town for
normal students are not ss q rule
high livers and big spenders, bnt
many good and desirable oitizens
would be drawn here because of the
school.
Since the news has gone forth that
Hood River was considering ex-
tending an invitation to the state to
place its one normal school here, al
ready howl has gone up from the
small towns over the state which oon.
slider themselves as possible candi
dates for normal school. Untor.
tunstely, to these people state insti-
tutions of any sort seen to symbol i2e
graft for the community Ia which
they are situated. 1t Is true that In
the past many gratis have been con.
neoted with the public institutions
and they have been paICelled about
after the manner OF political power
and the invitation to locate the
normal here will be because We have
the most to offer the state. Hood
River will rest the case on its merits
and feel sasured that II 1t Is decided
on its merits Hood River will be- the |
location of the Oregon State Normal |
School.

PINE GROVE SHY
ON SCHOOL FUNDS

The Pine Grove citizens are some
of them just waking up to the tact
that there was no special school
tax levied in district No. for this
year and therefore the school In that
district will be shy on funds. The
district will need about IS, 900 during
the coming yeaI but no tax at all was
levied to cover expenses and the only
income which the district will get
will be from the county and state
funds which will not run to exceed
ST. y. The regular meeting for
levyinR the tax was called last month
but as none OF the citizens attended
the meeting and there was no quorum
to do business no funds have been
provided. 1t takes about $1,000 to
pay the running expenses of the dis.
trict and there is about $1,000 back
which should be cleaned up. The
district will have to run on a warrant
basis, paying interest on the paper In
order to keep its school going.
