the society of the states permitting
such operations to be executed, deserve

coin. Though reared at the bottom
round of the social ladder, Lincoln
reached a pinnacle of fame among the
people Of America and the greatness
of his personality has reached beyond
the borders Of his own country into
foreign lands. His name is reverenced
by Americans.
Possessed of decidedly open frank
ness, Lincoln was still diplomatic and
but few men had greater executive
ability. OF sypathetic nature, he
won the confidence of all with whom he
dealt While he had a great sense of
humor and his stories of the comic side
of human nature were many, few men
were ever more serious. The great
problems of the Civil War bore
heavily upon him and increased the
gravity of his expression. Even
though the bitterness was keen and
often expressed in words and actions
between the contestants, the great
president never lost that Unborn sense

GRANGE SUBMITS
TWO ROAD BILLS

Opposed to the good roads bills
drafted by the commission appointed
by Governor West and to be submitted
under the initiative next November
will be two other measures on the
same subject that have been prepared
by the executive committee of the
Oregon State Grange and which will
likewise be submitted under the initia-
tive in the same election, under the
auspices of this organization.
The members of the committee that
drafted the Grange bills were c. e
Spencer, of Carus; A. |. Mason, of
Hood River and c. l.. Shaw Of AL
bany. MIR. Shaw was a member of the
House of Representatives at the 1911
session of the legislature.
The bills offered by the Grange differ
in material respects from those pre-
pared by Governor Vests commission.
One of these measures provides for the
appointment by the Governor of a state
highway engineer at an annual salary
OF $4,000 and necessary actual travelling
expenses The rival bill creates the
office Of State Highway Commissioner
at an annual salary of $4,000 This
Grange bill also differs essentially from
the measure drafted by the Governor s
commission, since it leaves to each
county, through appointment by the
County Court of practical construct
or, direct supervision of the con
struction of its roads. Appointment
Of the county road builder shall be
with the approval of the highway
Engineer. who shall also examine the
records of the various counties of the
state relative to road expenditures,
''to the end that uniform system Of
accounting may be devised as soon as
practicable.
The other Grange bill provides for
issuing bonds for road building by any
county or subdivision of a county, on
a basis of the assessed valuation of
property included in the county or
district desiring the improvement.
These improvements may be ordered at
what is termed a county road meeting,
which shall determine the place of
beginning and the terminus of the i'm
provement to be made. When any i'm
provement is decided upon, a special
election shall be held on petition of 10
per cent of the voters of the county,
when the question of the issue of bonds
shall be decided. The number of spe-
cial elections that may be held in a
county on the question Of issuing bonds
for this purpose is limited to one in
every u months.
Other sections of this measure pro.
vide methods for issuing, selling and
redeeming bonds. One section express
ly provides that the County Court shall
have the power to eXpend all Of the
funds raised from bond issues for build
ing permanent roads.

APPLE DISTRIBUTION.

During the past few weeks, perhaps
the growers OF the Hood River Valley
have given more thought to the future
problems Of selling that will confront
them than during the whole former
period Of the industry Of the Valley.
Yet but few have come to any definite
conclusion on the matter. Indeed,
until a thorough investigation is made
by the committees Of the different see
tions and before the gist Of this infor-
nation is disseminated through each
community by private talk and public
discussions it seems decidedly unwise
to take an unmovable stand on the
question; for you may learn things
that my lead to the embarrassment Of
having TO change positions.
The fruit industry Of the Northwest
is one of its biggest industries. While
its grain and livestocf belts demand
exceptional attention, the fruit culture
has done as much or more toward the
advertisement of the district than any
thing else. II has been resping the
benefit Of every advantage and must
continue TO do so. Some form Of Co
operative selling Of the fruit is sure TO
result. All experienced in the selling
end Of the industry are united on this
point. As to what that shall be some
deniite outline Of plans will soon un-
doubtedly take shape. The co-opera-
tive methods will bring about power
and effectiveness such as is maintained
by the orange growers of California.
You can no doubt remember and recall
when it was unusual for the average
man to eat an orange. Oranges were
Christmastime luxuries. Nov we have
them on the breakfast table ten months
in the year. 1t is possible tC eat
Hood River apple every night before
retiring ten months in the year, and
the time will come when many people
will have that habit. When California
produced about two per cent of her
present orange output, many of the
growers and others were afraid that
Overproduction was going to swamp
the orange business. Howeve~. they
have weathered the storm and new
orange groves are being planted yet
and will net profits to their growers.
Better facilities for distribution and
the experience of the orangs men will
make the problem of the apple man
easier to solve.
In the depth of thought over the
plan for cooperative selling, the Hood
River grower should never for a mo-
ment lose sight of the absolute neces-
sity of keeping intact the local union
The great success of the valley has
come from the unions methods. A
cooperative Union with every grower
back of it will be needed to reap the
best results from the big union of dis
tricts. The Union has done exceed
ingly we'll during the past year. The
data compiled by the Commercial Club
shows its markets constantly increas-
ing. Hood River apples are eaten
from Hamburg to Texas.
The local Union at present faces a
problem, which for us in Hood River,
is perhaps as serious as the promulga-
ton of big combine, that is, the need
of increased storage. Growers and
business men of the community should
make haste in reaching a definite con
clusion as to the means of securing
this great need.

HUSBANDS ENJOY
WIVES HOSPITALITY

Last Wednesday the members of the
Hood River Women's Club held their
first annual evening social, inviting
their husbands to spend it with them at
the Commercial Club rooms. On en-
tering each guest was presented with
a heart shaped valentine to be worn.
and later used as first aid to a partner
for luncheon. The rooms were beauti-
fully decorated with hearts, large and
small, potted plants and Oregon grape,
and the arrangement of chairs and
tables were most homelike and cosy.
An address of welcome to the gentle
men was made by Mrs w. f. Lara

who, with her committee, was the re-
cipient of many compliments on so
successfully managing such delightful

ATTITUDE CHANGED ON
CHOICE OF ATTORNEY

Despite the fact that at a meeting
of the city council at the first of the
year that body ratified Mayor Wright s
appointment Of Judge A. J. Derby as
the city's attorney, Monday evening.
when the council received a communi-
cation from Judge Derby, stating that
he would serve in the capacity Of attor-
ney for the sum of 5000 per year, OF
| SIS per month, two of the councilmen
opposed the retention Of Judge Derby.
| Councilman Staten, after Councilman
Robertson made the motion that Judge
Derby be retained at the figure asked
by him. addressed his fellow members,
opposing the appointment of Judge
Derby. MI. Staten asserted that Judge
Derby, since, as he stated, he is the
attorney of a certain public service
corporation. was not eligible for the
position. However. the motion was
seconded by Councilman Mayes and
carried, Robertson, Higgins and Mayes
voting for it, while Stranahan and Sta
ten voted against it.
Councilman Robertson in addressing
the councilmen, before the vote was
cast, stated that he considered Judge
DeTby's communication fair in every
respect, that his duties with the city
and in private capacity had never
conflicted and that the city's council
could not expect him not to conduct a
private practice considering the remun-
GRAFTON paid him.
Judge Derby has never drawn up an
ordinance for any corporation. At the
instigation of the Fire and Water com
mittee, he drew up a contract between
the city and the Hydro Electric Co.
and also with their approval drew for
the city an ordinance regulating the
wiring of power companies in the city.
His duties and relations to the city
and private concern have never con
tlicted Having conducted successfully
the city's litigation during the past
two years and having a full knowledge
of present pressing matters, the city
would make an error in not lending
him every cooperation and support.
