LEGISLATURE PASSES
EXPERIMENT BILL

The legislature has passed the county
experiment station bill and Hood River
will benefit by the establishment here of
a station. W. l.. Clark. president of the
Commercial club, received word last
Friday from Hon. c. II. Stranahan,
the county's representative in the leg
isature, that the bill had gone to the
hands of the senate committee and
asked that some citizen be sent to urge
that it be passed in the upper house.
Mr.. Clark journeyed down to Salem
and spent the week end there.
The bill carries an appropriation of
$4,000 for experimental work, provided
the county raises $4,000. The enabling
bill, providing for counties to hire ex-
pert research work, such as has been
done here by Prof. Lawrence. has also
been passed by the legislature as we'll
as Senate bill No. 72, which allows of
any county taking advantage of the
extension work. The state will appro-
pirate 81 for every one raised by coun.
ties for his work.

MAS0N'S EXPERIENCE
in SECURING HELP

A. |. Mason tells of an interesting
experience in securing man and wife
to work on his East Side ranch. Mr..
Mason inserted an advertisement in
Portland papers. He and Mrs Mason
jOurneyed to that city and secured an
apartment with two rooms. Appli-
cants were instructed to call at these
rooms. They began coming at an
early hour of the day set, says Mr..
Mason, "and it was but short time
until the rooms we're crowded. | began
to eliminate them by asking questions,
and soon | had chosen from the main
crowd the number of p. Then | began
a second sitting down and made the
number three. Finally, ! chose man
and wife from this number"
Mr. Mason thinks that ranch laborers
are asking too much for their services.

of 20 cents per meal" Many gooC
men are idle now, according to Mr.
Mason, and ranchers can secure gooC
hands for reasonable wages.

RAILROADS EXPECT
MANY TOURISTS

The transcontinental railway lines
are expecting far heavier tourist
passenger traffic this year than last
year. J. H. Fredricy, local agent of
the O-.W. r. & Co. says that his com
pany will put on extra sections of its
trains in order to handle the increased
number of passengers expected after
March ], when the tourist rates will 60
into effect.
Many people will locate on Oregon
home stead lands this year as a result
of the recent tour of the Great Nor
thern's exhibit cars through the east
and middle west.
Reports from the car manager re.
ceived Saturday by Fred w. Graham,
western industrial and immigration
agent for the Great Northern at Port
land, show that people at every point
where the car has stopped are interest
ed in Oregon. They are eager to take
up homestead land.

WORK PLANNED
LOOMS LARGE
MUCH CONSTRUCTION is BEGUN
Water Power and Municipal improve
ment viii Cause Employment Of
Many Men City TO Benefit.

The Hood River community will con-
tinue its progress this spring. For a
number of years the local citizens have
begun the spring season by the initial
work of carrying out plans for building
and Improvement. The beginning Of
every summer has seen the rising of
some new building. Summer before
last many blocks of sidewalk were con-
structed In the city. Last year the
streets were graded and more sidewalk
built. This year the business streets
Of the city will be paved.
Already the work is progressing on
the municipal waterworks system. The
Reliance Construction Co. has laid
much of the pipe of the distributing
system in the city limits and before the
summer is ended the big main to the
Tucker springs will have been COM
pleted. The Reliance Co. has inaug-
urated policy of employing local men
for its work. This is gratifying to all
local business men. The municipal
work planned on the streets and that
already being done on the water sys-
tenn will not only result in greatly
needed Improvements, but will be
highly beneficial while the work is
lasting. Ii will produce payroll and
the merchants and business men will
derive profit from the activities.
The next important local work is
that to be done by the two power COM
panies. The Pacific Power & Light Co.
will expend a large sum here on the
construction of its dam and pipeline
up the Hood river. A great deal of
this money will go to pay the laborers
employed. who will spend large por-
tion of their wages with local mer-
chants. As soon as the rights-of-way,
which have been retarding thescom-
pany, have been secured, the Hydro
Electric Co. plans on the extension of
its high power lines TO The Dalles and
an increase in the size Of its plant at
ucker's bridge.
And by the end of the year Hood
River county should have new H.
brary. At present the.library commit
tee of the city council is involved with
the task of locating site for the
building to be erected with the sum Of
ST.. 500 donated by the Carnegie fund.
There is strong sentiment that the
council should purchase the 75x200-foot
tract offered by +. l.. Smith. The city
would lease the county the portion to
be used for the library site and use the
remainder for park puproses.
| Under the present state of the char
ter this procedure will be impossible
However, it is proposed that speca
election be called to change the charter
and after that a special election will
be called to vote park bond issue.

800 men. Actual construction work
will begin within a short time. A huge
pipeline will be constructed and a new
concrete dam will be built to replace
the old wooden affair.
The work is under the supervision of
?. L. Pierce, who has been engaged
for a number Of years in such work in
the Carolinas and in Texas. T. c.
Westcott is the resident engineer ard
I. +. Watson is chief clerk. Mr..
Watson comes from South Carolina.
S. G. 0xborrow will have charge of
the commissary of the camp.
Because of the sunshine of Sunday
afternoon many residents of the city
visited the site of the camp.

SOL0NS PLEASED WITH
AGRICULT'L COLLEGE

Upon returning to Salem from an
inspection trip to the Oregon Agriul-
tural college. the members of the joint
ways and means committee of the legis-
lature said there will be no reduction
in the S26l, 900 for buildings and i'm

tion.
1t seems probable that they will
recommend no reduction in the addi-

Scouts Make Record Walk

Making the journey to qualify as
first class scouts, Mark Moe and Paul
Harris, members of the local organiza-
tion of Boy Scouts, walked to Viento
and returned Sunday in FIVE hours and
40 minutes. The distance covered was
about 20 miles. One of the tests of
that a Scout must pass before he en-

walking seven miles and return in one
day and writing an acceptable descrip-
tion of the interesting sights seen or
the journey.

WISDOM FROM RooKEFEbnER.

Indianapolis News Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's employees worked Labor day. al
though many working people in Cleve-
land. as in other cities. enjoyed a holi-
day. However, as many people work
OF Labor day. there Is perhaps MOTH
ing out Of the way in the holiday &C.
tivity Of Mr.. Rockefeller's workers.
Like many men Of his class, however.
he thinks that what is good for him
IL good for his men. Those who toll
ed yesterday toiled for Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter. and ministered to his convenience
and comfort. It might have been
thought that he would have been glad
to give them a holiday. But here
are the great mans views:
Instead of spending money on
amusements my employees will
have an opportunity to add to
their savings. Had they been CIV
en- a holiday money would have
been spent foolishly. Too much
time Is wasted and too much mon
ey is spent foolishly on some Of
our American holidays. Tho
money Is better saved.
This Is precisely the theory of our
old friend Scrooge, who objected to
making a holiday Of Christmas. He,
too. was afraid that his poor clerk
would spend his money "foolishly,"
and was quite sure that his nephew
would. One who wishes to study the
Rockefeller theory in classic form can
hardly do better than read the great
Christmas story Of Dickens, in which
scrooge. when redeemed. is the hero.
1t v seems to occur to the great
man Of Cleveland that even wise mon
once in a while enjoy spending their
money "foolishly." Even the state acts
on the presumption, and so establishes
certain holidays. After all It is for
tbs! man himself to say how he will
spend his money. 1t Is his. If he wastes
or loses 1t he is the chief sufferer. Mr.
Rockefeller spends his money az he

work for him have the same privilege

Down In Prince Edwards Island
great fortunes are beng made. accord
ing to the reports from the raising Of
black foxes. 1t is said that a single
pair Of these animals is held at $4O,-
600. and many people have gone wild
over the industry. Naturally, the in
dustry will be profitable to those who
engage in the raising Of animals for
breeding purposes. so long as enough
people wish to do the same thing. OBJ
viously. there will come a time when
the demand for animals for breeding
will cease. because the market will be
stocked. and the real test will come
when the pelts Of the animals are
sent to market to be treated as ordi-
nary articles Of commerce. Most Of
us remember the Belgian hare craze
of a few years ago. 1t was pointed
out that this animal was a valuable
food animal which could be raised in
the back yard. or under the stairs, and
the papers were full of estimates of
the wonderful profits that were to be
made in the business. There was a
tremendous demand for breeders, and
fabulous prices paid for them. But
when everyone who wanted breeders
was supplied, the business collapsed,
for there did not appear to be any
market for the flesh of the hare. The
fur OF the black fox is very valuable,
partly because it is beautiful, hut
chiefly because it is rare. When ev-
eryone gets to raising black foxes the
element Of rarity will have disappear
ed. and the fur of the black fox will
then be about as valuable as that Of
his more plebian red brother. Nobody
can sell US stock in a fox farm. or a
Belgian hare. outfit,
