CONNECT NORTH BANK
WITH HOOD RIVER

Promoters OF an electric road, to con-
meet Hood River with the North Bank
road, were looking over the situation
this week The proposition, rnnghly
outlined, is to run track from Blngen
to the Columbia river, crossing the
river by ferry at the Koberg Rock, aud
then follow tie county road into Hood
River, connecting with the Hood River
electric road, which is a "sure go III
the spring.
The object Of this scheme, it is claim
ed, is to relieve Hood River from being
at the mercy Of only one railroad. Cars
| from the North Bank could then be run
right into Hood River Valley, and the
apples could be shipped by competing
| lines, which will be the only solution to
overcome a car shortage like there was
this season, and besides that, aship-
ment of fruit to some portions OF the
east would reach its destination from II
to a hours earlier.
The scheme ig a feasible one. The
Columbia River at the koberg Rock IL
only 22OO feet wide, with good deep
water on both sides OF the river, and
steam ferry could transfer train OF 30
cars in less than an hour. The ferry
now used for transferring cars from the
! North Bank to the Oregon bank at the
mouth OF the Deschutes, will probably
be used for the purpose here after the
| bridge at Cello is completed. Observer

place Is, or which Is the suitable COM
oinations of conditions? Who Is to de.
eide that this is or Is not our oppor.
tuntty.
In the very nature of human orgsni.
cation, those things viii always be
matters of personal opinion, or judg-
ment. One man will think the time is
now, another will feel that 1t will be
best to wait; one man will say that a
proposition is good and another will
say that the same proposition Is
worthless. Senator Clapp can not
make law that will tell man which
proposition will be a success and
which will be failure. To do that
would eliminate the necessity OF
judgment.
Where does this equal opportunity
begin and where does it end? How
often are we all to be put in the
same sack, shaken up, dumped out
and started equal again? Two young
men begin to work in the same de.
partment for the same firm. One is
interested In his work, does 1t thought
fully and correctly. II the work de-
mands few minutes overtime oc-
casionally, he does it without grumb-
ling; he thinks he can improve the
system in that department in some
ways and he does 1t or suggests it to
the proper party. He works for the
interests of the establishment and tries
to learn little about the department
just above his The other one SIM
ply puts in the time till quitting time;
he works reasonably well while he is
there, but watches the clock and is
the first one out of the building when
the whistle blows. He just puts in the
required number Of hours to enable
him to draw his pay, and has no
further interest in the affairs OF his
firm. Which one Of those men would
Senator Clapp promote when the op-
portunity came? How is he going to
keep those two boys even? Will he
pull the one back who does know how
to do the work and can be success,
or will he put the other up to try to
do something he did not try to learn
and where he is sure to fail?
AS to whether some untried prop
osition will be success or failure
Will, until the demonstration takes
place, always be matter of personal
opinion or judgment. Get a dozen OF
the best business men you know OF
together; submit new proposition to
them. You will find that some will
say it is good and be ready to go in;
others will turn it down fiat
One man will refuse as not good
enough, the position that another
takes and climbs to success on it.
That Is the way it has been and that
is the way it always will be- And that
is right. 1t is individuality that tells
and it should tell.
When capital and labor is generally
opportunity Is always pres
ent i'll proportion to the ability and in
clination of the party who is looking
for 1t.
Look along the business streets of
any middle western city, and you will
find that the names on the business
houses are the names of men who
have made their way from the bottom.
Others had the same opportunity that
they had.
Senator Clapp's theories would not
give poor man any possibility Of sue
cess, but would hold him where he Is
'or all time.

state railroad commission for opposing
the reduction Of freight rates on hogs
shipped to Chicago to a figure that
would seriously handicap the Iowa

A proposal to send all the hogs out OF

A CULINARY RELIC.

Boone, Jan. 25--Deputy County
Clerk e. Harner has some of his
groon's cake which is nearly forty
years of age. 1t was the groom's
cake at his wedding, making itself
very conspicuous on his wedding day
This dellcacy, pound of it, is rather
crumbly but he keeps it carefully
wrapped and hanging in his cellar
where it has held enough moisture 10
keep it together. 1t seems odd that it
should not mould, but not the slightest
suggestion of fungus growth is de-
tected either by the taste or smell. 1t
is nearly solid with dried fruits OF
various kinds, which are probably pre-
served with the spices which are an
important part of it's composition.
MIR. Harner hopes to keep his cake
until, had his wife lived, he would
have celebrated his golden wedding
anniversary. He now has but twelve
years to wait, as 1t will be thirty
eight years old next March.

LAWYERS WILLS.

A remarkable specimen of a law
yer's will was that of Sir Joseph
Jel1yll. master of the rolls, who died
in 1898 and bequeathed his fortune aft
er his wife's death to pay off the ma
tioral debt. Sir Joseph was good
man and a good lawyer" was Lord
Mansfield's comment. but his be-
quest was very foolish one. He might
as we'll have attempted to stop the
middle arch of London bridge with his
full bottomed wig" The testator's
patriotic intentions were therefore
treated as proof of mental weakness
and his will was promptly set aside.
Among the many laundering wills
that lawyers have made for their eli
ents, II not for themselves, the strang-
est on record was that of a Dublin
gentleman who left all his money to
the elder son of his brother and If he
had no elder son, to the second-Lon-

After waiting, vainly waiting, for
some brighter mind and ADLER pen to
champion the cause of the much be-
rated coal merchant, cannot refrain
from giving expression to few
thoughts suggested by perusal of the
communication from the facile quill Of
t. R. Buckley. The doughty squire,
whose genial smile and suavity Of
manner have made his name to con-
Jure with, wakes wroth over the coal
situation, and SHES his discus into the
arena.
With prodigality of assertion and
pathetic paucity Of evidence. he
groups the defenseless coal men indis-
criminately, labels them all dishonest
and with zone fell swoop' consigns
them to perdition We were not favor
ed with a bill of particulars.
Doubtless there are among the coal
merchants, as in every other body of
men, some who are oblivious to the
moral code, but we nearly lost an
eye looking for any evidence adj.
Vanced by "One Who Knows" tending
even remotely to prove the number
OF such to be greater among them
than in other lines Of business
We think most people Will recognize
that the advance in the price of coal
is due to conditions beyond the con-
troll OF the dealers, and referable to
the law OF supply ard demand.

HIGH PRICES.

mand. What has brought about this
change? Scarcity and the high price
OF help has had lot to do with it. AS
the farmers have prospered, they
have felt inclined to get away from
the drudgery and do the work which
came easiest Milking cows and max
ing butter are not any child's play.
one man cannot farm 100 acres of land
and do much milking. Even il he is
SO fortunate as to have a boy to help
him, he will find his time pretty well
occupied if he takes care OF the reg
ular farm work.
Who would have predicted twenty
years ago that the merchants of Man
son would be selling oleomargarin to
the local trade? Yet that is lust, what
is being done, and at 20 cents a pound
too. Talk of carrying coal to New
Castle; guess this equals it.
The one never ending topic of dis
cussion these days is the cost of liv-
ing. Cold weather, scarcity of coal

but natural conditions have not been
given much consideration.
Let us take the item of meat. The
cost to the housekeeper has fully
doubled in the past few years. Yet
we do not believe the trusts have a
great deal to do with this increase.
They have some, no doubt, but con
ditions have changed, and we are
paying for the change. A few years
ago every farmer killed and cured his
own meat, and it was only during
thrashing or harvest that the careful
housewife thought of buying meat
from the butcher. Merchants and thou.
sands of others in small towns did the
same to a large extent. How is 1t
today? A large part of the beef is
raised on the western ranges, shipped
to Chicago or some other packing
house center, here it is purchased by
some feeder and reshipped to his farm
and fattened and again reshipped to
the stock yards. There the packer
buys it, and when he has killed and
dressed the beef it is again loaded on
the cars and shipped to the original
raiser OF the cattle These cattle
have been handled by some four or
FIVE dinerent parties. each of whom
has made a profit, the cattle have
stood the shrinkage of three Ship
ments and paid four freight charges.

SENATOR cLAPP'S LAW.

In recent speech, Senator Clapp of
Minnesota, is quoted as saying:
No law can make an equal accum-
ulation of wealth, but what is needed
is law that will give all an equal op-
portunity."
A man who is clothed with the re-
sponsibilities that a United States SEN
ator ought to feel, should not go
around the country making statements
OF that kind. Sach utterances are not
the result of ignorance, but of a
studied effort to appeal to the pref
udice of men instead of to their iudg-
ment.
What is opportunity?
WebsteTs dictionary defines oppor-
tunity as time or place favorable
for the execution of a purpose:
suitable combination of conditions"
That is what opportunity is, but
who can make a law that will tell us
when that time arrives, or where the
