OREGON BOOSTERS AT
HONOLULU BANQUET

The week Just past coull be known
very appropriately as Oregon week in
Hawaiian history, says dispatch from
Honolulu to the Oregonian dated Feb
ruary 20, for the old state came to the
front in way to please its friends and
surprise its foes-if it has any of the
latter Certainly there are none in
these islands, but on the contrary, 1t
would seem as if Oregon is second to
Hawaii in the hearts of the people
here.
The most noteworthy OF events of
recent months, if not of recent years,
was the big banquet of the Around-the-
Pacific Society, held three nights ago
in the famous Alexander Young Hotel /;
and one of the most notable occuTences
during the evening was the formation
of the Oregon Boosters and Aloha
Club" by the many sons of Oregon
present.
Aloha means welcome in the native
tongue. and the title of the club may
therefore, be construed to mean that
while all the members have pledged
of whatever may happen, they are ever
ready to welcome state people to Hon
olulu, 'show them good time and
give them such business or other infor-
nation as they may seek.
Governor Frear, who was the presid-
ing officer at the banquet, graciously
consented to become honorary presi-
dent of the new organization, although
his eXcellency is native of California.
Toward the close of the banquet,
when the club had been fully organ
ICED, Leslie Butler, of Hood River,
was called upon for an address and
delivered one of the prettiest little
speeches of the entire evening. Mr..
Butler said that while he agreed with
all that had been said regarding the
beauties of Hawaii, and that while as
he looked about him he could see many
Oregonians who had 'made good in
this wonderful mid-seas territory, he
was sure that the old state was where
he wanted to live and die. Mr.. Butler
then became the proverbis booster.
He told of the great forest of the great
Northwest and declared that the day
was not far distant when every stick
of good building material used in these
islands would be brought from Port
land. Then he told of Oregon hops,
Oregon potatoes, Oregon apples, and
fruits and Oregon ranches. He wound
up his address with toast to the
ladies of the state. The banquet,
which started as an Around-the-P Pacific
affair, became almost an Oregon dinner
before midnight was reached.

means to get hold of small tracts at
merely nominal cost and carve out
splendid homes. There is a ready
market for anything one can raise and
the prices are good. The most of the
newcomers are people of means who
are going into the orchard business.
Many of these are building fine homes
and will have ideal places. So there
is constant demand for intelligent
and industrious men at good wages.
The climatic conditions of the Mosier
district, coupled with the splendid seen
cry, are certainly of the very finest.
There could be no finer locations for
lovely homes than on the lands to the
south. The view of the snow covered
mountains and the grand Columbia
River Valley are not surpassed by any
other location. AS many people of
large wealth have already located
there and made or begun to make their
improvements, it is assured that within
a few years there will be on the many
beauty spots to the south of the town
one of the finest neighborhoods in the
state.
If were asked to picture the Mosier
country 10 or 20 years hence | would
say that the beautiful residences and
orchards would have a background of
hundreds of small 20 and 40-acre places
where general farming and the produc-
tion of small fruits and vegetables and
of milk and butter, poultry and eggs
would be the main industries. And
such combination would mean a very
wealthy and prosperous section. And
| wish to repeat that much of this
rough land, is now offered at very low
| prices.
The town itself now has good stores,
strong bank, a lumber yard which is
doing a fine business, a fairly good
hotel. good churches, a capacious lodge
hall, one of the best packing houses
owned by any fruit union, a drug store,
good newspaper, physicians, a den
tist, lawyer, real estate agents, res
taurant and barber shop. But in addi-
tion to these non essentials, as some
might say, they have one of the best
public schools to be found anywhere.
The course of study runs up to the
tenth grade, and all the high school
| grades will soon be taught.

First Trees Still Bearing.

Let US go back few years, many
years, and start in with the Mosler
country. Go back to 1860, when the
Mosier family settled just back of the
town and took up land. An orchard
was soon planted, and some of those
trees are still bearing least one of
the apple and one of the cherry trees
are still doing business with good
crop almost every year.
One of the sons of this first family.
Jefferson (he is always called JEFF, -
but | take 1t for granted his name
really is Jetrersonl, jefferson Mosier
was born there soon after his parents
located, and he has been a resident of
the place ever since. And | want to
say that JEFF" is a fine specimen of a
native son.
Another person has had a great deal
to do with the Mosier district, and that
parsonage is A. 7. Bateham, one of

ligent of the fruit growers of the state

MANY H0MESEEKERS
BRING FAMILIES

Hood River has had almost as many
newcomers this season as arrived here
last year. IL seems that the greater
number Of them had made plans as to
their settlement before leaving their
old homes in the south and middle
west. Many have relatives and have
come with definite purposes as to en-
ployment. j. II. Fredricy, local agent
Of the 0. w. r. & N, states that fam
lilies have arrived here from Pennsyl-
vania, Tennessee, Iowa, Arkansas and
other states Of the middle west.
The eolonist movement this year all
through the Northwest is noticeable
for the lack of unmarried men, who
have predominated in numbers on pre-
vious years. The Oregonian says:
"Incuded in the arrivals Friday
were several entire families who have
deserted their former homes in the
east in the hope Of finding improved
conditions in Oregon. Several women
at both the Union station and the
North Bank station carried babies in
their arms. The number of children
among the arrivals indicates the move
ment Of many families. Inquiry
among heads Of these families proves
they are coming with the intention Of
seeking land tributary to Portland.
Some have capital to invest and others
are seeking farms that they may rent
with the option Of buying.
THE usual number Of professional
men and mechanics is included. On
one car that arrived over the North
Bank road Friday were three dentists,
graduates from a school in Michigan,
who want to leeate in the new towns
Of central Oregon
''ln former colonist seasons the num-
Der Of unmarried men almost formed a
majority OF the entire movement.
They were typical of the class that
comes to look for work. This year the
great majority is formed by heads of
families. A great many are coming
to find the future home for their wives
and children. After they have found
them they will send for the mother
and babes that all may live together
under Oregon's favorable surroundings.
"The movement this year is not as
heavy as it was last spring, but mas
much as the season contiues 10 days
longer, the aggregate influx may be
greater.

SKULL TOO THICK TO
ENTER OTHER WORLD

After three unsuccessful attempts to
commit suicide by shooting himself in
the head one day last week, Richard
Jones, a 20-year-old negro boy, gave
up in disgust, tied up his head, and
returned to work, says dispatch from
Harris Cove, Kentucky.
Jones said he wanted to know "what
it would feel like in another world.
In this speculative mood he placed
the muzzle of a small caliber revolver
to his forehead and pIlled the trigger.
The ball tore a furrow through his
scalp and glanced off his skull. He
shot himself on the side of the head
with like result, and then placed the
muzzle against his cheek and fired.
The ball passed through both cheeks.
