VIC. 7. U. Notes

The contest held in the Baptist
church, on the Heights, was in every
way success. The young men taking
part gave every evidence of having
made earnest preparation, and did
great credit to themselves. The con-
test was very close, as only one-twelfth
Of a point divided the contestants.
The medal was won by Mr.. Struck.
The Judges were Mrs. Macdonald,
Prof. J. o. Mclaughlin ana Rev. Har-
greaves. The contest work of the W.
c. r. u. is one of the links that hold
our young people to the cause of tenn
perauce and keep awake the interest
of the public.
The new study class in scientific
temperance started under very favor
able auspices and with a goodly num-
ber taking part. These studies are
vrey interesting and it is hoped that
many will take advantage of them.
The White Ribboners are making every
effort to secure the ballot, and thus
have another chance to strike the rum
Why do not more women in
Hood River take an interest in the
cause of temperance? Contributed.

Is needed for the best interests OF
Oregon In the United States senate,
many newspapers in Eastern Oregon
have openly declared themselves for
Ben Selling to succeed Senator Jona-
than Bourne.
In a recent issue the La Grande
Evening Observer edtorially remark
4 ed.
THE announcement that Ben Sell
/ ing will make the race for the senate
against Jonathan Bourne is received
with considerable satisfaction, for all
/ know that Selling is a thoroughly pro
+ gressiye citizen and stands for all
/ the measures that are dear to the
people, having been one of the legis-
lators who not only helped inaugurate
the new form of government in this
state, but also has been one of those
who has constantly stood on guard
to prevent repeal of any of the meas
ures.
"Mf. Bourne Is practically a non
resident of this state and is scarcely
a taxpayer He spends his entire time
in the east and seldom visits the state
that has h0nored him. BY the way,
Mr.. Voter, have you ever seen iona
than Bourne? What do you know
about him other than to receive a let
ter occasionally written by a paid
stenographer and signed with rubber
stamp? Can you point to anything Of
Importance that he has done for Ore.
gon? You know of course that he
voted with Aldrieh and the rich men
of the east on tariff issues You know
he owns large cotton goods manufac-
turing plant on the Atlantic seaboard
and that he is reputed to be worth
S15,000.000. You know also that his
interests in Oregon are so meager that
his tax is exactly $244 according to
the Portland Journal Of Sunday, Mar.
3rd.
"All of these things being true, don't
you think it is time to replace him
with a citizen of the statea man
who has lived over half century
in Oregon-who has property nowhere
else and who stands his share of taxes
and works every day in the year to
build up his state?
rs 1t not time for Oregon to be for
Oregon as Bill Hanley says, and de-
sist from sending a rich aristocrat
whose interests lie in eastern states
to assist in making laws for Oregon?
"The people have a splendid oppor-
tunity to elect a man who will repre-
sent Oregon and the Oregon system,
for Ben Selling aided materially in
outlining and passing every law that
gives the power Of government direct
ly to the people in this state"

of Portland and Of that thriving city
itself. the railroads of the Northwest
have issued handsomely illustrated
booklet, announcing the Grand Lodge
convention of Elks to be held in Port

intrepid explorers, Lewis and Clark,
who redeemed the Northwest for the
white race. Two Indians stand facing
the east. a young and an old Red Skin.
The countenance of the older Indian as
he beheld the intruding white man,
bespoke despair and defiance. That

fear with which was combined a de-
gree Of anxious hope. A palm leaf is
held aloof as a sign of peace.

booklet display the buildings and street

scenic locations within a short radius

preciate unless their attention is called
to them. In Hood River each house

GOIdsbury Visits MANY Cities

John Goldsbury, president Of the Up
per Valley Progressive Association, re
turned Monday from an extended tour
of the large eastern and middlewesterB
cities. The Upper Valley man left
here the first Of January for Miuneap
oils; from there he went to Buffalo,
and thence to New York, Boston,
Princeton N. j., Washington, d. c.,
and Baltimore.
While many Of the middle western
farmers are coming with a definite idea
of settling in the west, says Mr..
Goldsbury, j find that further east the
citizens who are thinking of coming
west have planned to make the first
trip more of a visit than anything else.
During his travels Mr.. Goldsbury
worked in the insurance business.

The children have plenty of room to
play so they grow healthy and strong,
and eventually become useful men and
women who run for office and sub
scribe for the newspapers. Nearly
every home has its porch, where the
folks may sit in the evening, when the
lights are burning, low, and there is so
much opportunity for the pure air to
circulate that sweltering night is
never experienced.
When you go from Hood River to
Portland you notice the difference, and
long to get back home again. 1t is
worth while to walk along a residence
street in Portland on moderately hot
night to see the people sweating and
gaspng. People who can't earn a
great deal don't live in pleasant cot
tages with gooseberry bushes out by
the clothesIine they have to rent
rooms in apartment houses, or those
denominations called flats, and they
generally have to climb long stairways
to reach their dreary abodes. And in
the evening when they want a little
fresh air, and a temporary release from
their furnished dungeons, they sit OF
the iron steps, and fan themselves and
watch their chiIrden being run over by
street cars and automobiles, for there
are no lawns in front of the apartment
houses in the cities; if man wants
grass he has to raise it in a flower pot
in the parlor window. Such miser-
able existence it is.
What is the fascination of the large
city, that attracts so many and holds
them? Better live in Hood River
| among the trees and the hills than to
live in big town like Portland and
take your money home in a wheelbar-
row every Saturday night.

Sheppard Buys Interest in Factory

Geo. Sheppard, Of Central Vale,
has purchased from Mark Cameron a
half interest in his box factroy located
at Odell. The new firm will install,
among other additional machinery, a
fast feed planer, which will enable
them to double their capacity.

When | see men half crazy, rushing
around on the street at all times of the
day and night losing their sleep, and
neglecting their business in order to
attend some caucus or convention,
am always thankful that majority of
men are sane and not politicians. The
politician, one who makes a business
of politics, is nearly always fool and
nuisance. lie thinks that the world
will stop moving and spill things off if
he is not nominated to some office. He
usually starts in the year before, works
up his b0omlet between times, stays
out at nights to gather up the strag-
glers and by the time he has been
working six months he quits his job
cold, and labors in politics from early
dawn till dark He does not quit then.
He goes back after supper, and bores
the men who once were his friends,
and makes a general nuisance of him
self.
Within year from the time man
gets into politics he is utterly useless
as a good citizen. There should be So
cieties organized to "Save Men From
Politics" as we'll as to save them from
the devil. The political habit is worse
than the liquor habit. 1t makes man
just as worthless, just as much of a
nuisance.
The time of year has arrived when
we have the candidate nuisance on our
hands. 1t seems to every one of them
that his present and future welfare
depends upon the first and steenth pre-
c,ncts. If he loses them he will lose
heaven itself. If he is young man.
and has energy and ability, the best
thing that could happen to him would
be defeat. OF course. it would be a
bitter pill, and it might jar him some,
but he would get over it in time. If
he should happen to get elected. the
chances are that it would ruin him tor
life, and that he would never be worth
two whoops for anything as long as he
lived. A man may quit drinking,
smoking or chewing, but if he gets the
political habit, he will go to hades
faster than Old Nick can pull in the
slack, Old Wrinkle Eye.
