interest more than to any of the peo'
pie OF the town and valley. do you
realize that every word of advertising
that goes out 10 making your apple
trees better known Bringing more
people In the valley means bringing
more money. You share In this In
an indirect way If not In direct
way. 1t puts o higher value on your
land. Il does not mean you have to
sell TO have that value. IL you were
asked your financial worth, would
you answer that you had paid s2lN

This is going to be a great year for
Hood River. Inquiries concerning
Oregon are greater than California
ever had and we want to get the cream

According to articles published In
the Portland papers Sunday the
alumni of the Monmouth normal will
appeal to the people at the next
general election with an initiative
bill too make special levy Of one
twenty. fifth OF mill for their school
which will net aocoI ding to present
valuations about S27, 900 1t is pro-
bable that the schools at Ashland
and Weston will come through with
similar movements In 3n effort to
revive their normal schools. Thus
the old normal school system will be
running In the state If the people
should vote to support three schools.
According to a law passed In 1908
no institution may be established
outside of Marion county with out
being first ordered by an act of the
state legilatuIe and then ratified by n
vote of the people. This would seem
to make 1t impossible for the Hood
River normal proposition to be put
before the people ON initiative, sl
though 1t 10 argued by some people
that that law 10 a ldead letter. IL
1t is necessary for the Hood River
proposition to go first before the
legislature, by that time the people
will have voted to support or leave
in idleness the schools which the state
formerly operated.

There have been a number OF slides
on the east side grade during the

make them this summer II sufficient

PRUNE THE GRAFT TREE.

By the action of Postmaster Gem
eral Hitchcock the matter of second
class postal rates has been made a
live subject. In the magazines and
daily press of the country much has
been said lately upon the question as
to whether or not second class rates
should be advanced. The following
extract from the Atlanta Constitution
voices also the views of this paper:
''It may be highly desirable to
make the expenses of the postoffice
department accord more nearly with
its income; but it was never intended
as, and should in no sense be made,
an institution of profit to the govern
ment.
"An approximately self-supporting
postoffice department, economically
operated, would approach the ideal.
Right here there are several mat
ters to be considered before that of
"In the first place, the postmaster
general himself has pointed out
where the deficit can be reduced by
approximately s3,5O0,0O by cutting off
the much used and frequently abused
franking privilege.
"Then, we have heard it stated,
and can scarcely question the truth
Of the assertion, that a thorough re-
organization of the department in all
its branches, and in the various de-
tails of the service, would disclose the
possibility of considerable pairing
down of expenditure without impair
ment of the service. Why not have
this situation thoroughly gone into
by experts?
Next, before any action is taken
in the direction threatened, congress
should have before it definite infor-
nation regarding the cost Of trans
porting the mails. and the cost Of
Transporting express freight.
1.-The Constitution has repeatedly
called attention to the necessity for
securing this Information as a prere-
quisite to determining whether the
government is paying the railroads
too much for mail transportation.
"Mr Hitchcock gives these matters
no consideration whatever in his re-
ply to the magazine publishers.
Would It not be well first TO get
the department upon a basis Of prac-
teal economy along the lines sug-
gested. and. possibly. others, before

ENCOURAGING.

After visiting all the principal places
in the state an eastern physician de-
string to locate in the northwest has
decided to cast his lot with Pendle-
ton. He says that in business activ-
ity, civic appearance and good, sub
stantial backing Pendleton is more
favored than any other place he Wis
tied. Though he found other towns
where more of a boom" is on than
in Pendleton at present none of the
places he visited have the big perma-
nent backing that is Pendleton's. It
is encouraging to have a newcomer
say these things. He should be an
unprejudiced witness. There are
plenty of local people too who have
this same feeling of confidence in
Pendleton. They have reasons for
feeling confident. There are many
forces at work for the advancement
OF this city and for the development
OF the surrounding country. These
forces are bound to take Pendleton
forward in spite of the petty croak-
ing Of few people who can see no
good in this town or in anything else

EVIL SOIL.

Most of the wrong doing of the
world is confined to two classes of
people. the poor who will not work
and the overly rich who do not have
tc work. According to criminoIo-
gists most of the crime originates in
the slums where people live under abb
normal conditions. That soil is not
right for the development of people
who are morally, intellectually and
physically well balanced. But neither
is the soil good where people live In
too great opulence, where the men
have little to do but smoke cigarettes
around fashionable club houses or
talk to other mems wives. That this
is the case is indicated by the Cud-
ahy affray at Kansas City.

Saratoga Chips (Anti-dyspeptIc).

Most dishes requiring deep frying
are denied the dyspeptic because they are
usually fried in lard, and lard does not
"agree." The following recipe will be
welcomed BY yttNoes those OF poor @ digestion
cold water. Drain well, and dry in a
towel. Fry few at time in hot Cotto-
lene Salt as you take them out. and lay
them on coarse brown paper for a short
time.
The above recips can be followed
without the least fear Of disagreeable
after effects. The chips will be crisp
and dry-not greasy, as when fried in
lard Cottolene contains no hog fat,
but is made of purest cottonseed oil; it
isrecommended byphysicians generally.

about increasing postage
