LEGISLATURE ELECTS
DIR. HARRY LANE

Without a ripple on the calm, the
legislature elected DR.. Harry Lane,
Democrat, to the United States senate
Monday. As to the policies that he
will follow while in Washington, DR..
Lane gives the following:
Il was selected by the everyday, av-
erage citizens, and | am going to
Washington to work for them.
The greatest national problem is
that of getting this government into
shape to give the mass of the people

toll.
Il shall stand shoulder to shoulder
with Woodrow Wilson and shall back
up his every demand to give the COM
mon people their rights.
Il go to Washington with no malice,
but determination to try to help right
the wrongs that have been inflicted
upon millions of American children and
millions of parents.

A Mail Order Deal

Down in Oklahoma the other day a

the dealer, "but I'll sell it on the

"All right" said the customer.
"You send it along and charge to my
account.
"Not on your life," the dealer re-
piled. mo charge accounts. You
can't do business with the mail order

The customer complied.
Nov two cents for postage and
five cents for money order. "
Certainly, you have to send letter

The customer, inwardly raving. kept
his agreement and paid the nickel.
''Now 25 cents expressage.

it, saying, "Now hand me that saw

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB

Some of the citizens of the Hood
River valley scarcely know that the
community has commercial club.
Others use the home of the institution
in the city as rural families in former
days used the parlor When a far away
friend drops in to see the country then
a visit is made to the Commercial club.
He must be shown the Club" While
others drop into the cluo rooms when
ever they find time, chat with a friend
or read magazine in the reading
room. We think the latter class gets
more out of the Commercial club as an
institution and the club rooms as the
home of the institution than the for
mer two.
The directors of the Commercial club
tell us that it is in more of a prosper
Gus condition than ever before. They
say that they hope to conduct it here
after on basis whereby they will not
be compelled to ask for contributions
to publicity funds. All of us say

"smen." These "too oft" calls for con-
tributions haven't boosted the club.
Indeed, some Of the country people
might declare, and some city ones. too
that they never heard Of the CONNER
cial club, except when a touch foI
some purpose was being made. There
has been too much Of this touching
Ranchers and business men will stano
it Just so long, and all at once then
purse strings will close like the shells
of swapping turtle and they will cry
"avsunt, me lad, ayaunt." And do you
| blame them?
We do not mean to imply tnat the
money raised ia the past has not been
spent for good purposes. However,
the club has gone little too strong on
occasions. But we do grasp joyfully
at the announcement that the future
policy Of the directors will not be to
raise publicity funds. Campaigns will
be continually waged to increase the
membership Of the organization, and
the expenses of the institution will be
borne by the revenue from fees and
dues. The Hood River Commercial
club ought to have a membership ot
500. All ranchers and business men
ought to affiliate with it. The dues are
not heavy end the social pleasures that
will be derived will more than give re-
turn for the money spent, that is If the
club is made use Of as it should be.
The new directorate announces de-
parture from old customs in having
series OF social meetings and a series
Of lectures by well known men Of the
northwest. These plans are to be com
mended. Join the club and help carry
them out

THE BONDED DISTRICT

The East Side has now made secure
its biggest asset. an irrigation system
covering the entire district. In our
opinion the ranchers and orchardists of
that district have acted wisely The
big water system can now be properly
financed. 1t can be extended and made
more efficient.
However, the result of the operation
of the old East Fork ditch company
should be lesson to the management
of the bonded system. The irrigation
system is nov of public nature and
because of the liability of the land it.
self the Management is enabled to bet
ter enforce collection of obligations
owing to the ditch. The East Side
is a big district and the handling Of
the bonded system is going to be ne
small task. 1t should be given the
greatest care and should be managed
as economically as possible. The fact
that the ditch has come under virtua
public control should cause such con
dition of affairs to prevail all the
greater.

THE WINTER SPORTS

Who has not enjoyed the snow of the
past two weeks? OF course, when 1t
was little slushy under foot or when
the snow was hard packed on some
sidewalk and you took plunge feet
foremost or head foremost into snow
bank while some joshing friend looked
on, you were not kind to Boreas or
pluvius, either with your words or in
your thoughts. But all in all the snow
has offered a pleasant diversion to
Hood River folks. Never was the
sleighing better. 1t has been worth
whatever we have suffered from the
cold just to have heard the tinkilng of
the sleigh bells. To watch the children
and old folk who know how to get
the most pleasure out of life-as they
come speeding down the hill on their
sleds, has been enough to make any
one grow younger.
Hood River people are fortunate. Ii
summer no part of the world is more
favored in that here the residents anC
their many visitors enjoy cool, pleas
ant days amid the scenic Mount Hood
Columbia river district. And in win
ter, when the snowfall comes, tn
weather is never cold. The thermom
eter never registers far below tn
freezing point. and all are able to &c
out and make the most Of winte
sports.

FINS, FURS AND FEATHERS
Propagation of Game Fishes

The state of Oregon owns thirteen
different fish stations and hatcheries.
Up to the time the State Board of
Fish and Game Commissioners took
office, these hatcheries were used al
most solely for the propagation of
salmon to increase the commercial fish
ing interests. There was little or no
cooperation in the work carried on by
the hatchery fund and the work carried
on by the game protective fund. The
establishment of the commission made
it possible TO use these hatcheries both
for the propagation of commercial and
game fishes. Although the hatchery
fund and the game protective fund are
still held separate, inasmuch as the
commission oversees the spending of
both funds. equitable arrangement is
made whereby both the master fish
warden and the state game warden
work together in using hatcheries and
wardens' services. In this way both
departments are run more economically
than under the old system where they
were separate.
The hatchery at Bonneville was es-
tablished by the state for the purpose
of Matching and rearing salmon. This
is an admirable site for a central state
hatchery. The commission has used
$2l, 1888 of the anglers license fund
during 1911 and 1912 in enlargng,
equipping and carrying on the trout
propagation work. The land upon
which this hatchery is located is owned
by the O.-W. R. & N. Co. 1t was
leased to the state. Papers have re-
Gently been drawn up for sale of this
property to the state, comprising about
as acres. This will be paid for by
money from the game protective fund
at the price of 500 per acre. With
the Improvements that have been made
Bonneville hatchery is now the largest
and best salmon and trout hatchery in
the United States. At some of the
other state hatcherIes trout ponds have
been built and brood trout are being
kept for the purpose of collecting eggs
and Matching and rearing the fry to the
lingering stage. so as to stock differ
ent streams throughout the state.

KEEPING OUT OF POLITICS

Whenever anything smacks IN the
least of politics. the Commercial club
as a body and its board Of directors
should keep entirely clear of it. The
factional feeling brought on by politics
will cripple any Organization. AT
times, when the community as whole
is of one mind on proposition, then
the Commercial club may endorse the
proposition, but the club should exer-
else great care in the use Of its en-
dorsements.
The directors of the club acted wise
Iy in not endorsing the bill recently
submitted to them. Whatever each
one of them may think and how they
act is a different matter. individually,
they may endorse or condemn, but the
use Of endorsements by the club will
lead to factional dissension and cripple
the efficiency of the organization.

STEINHARDT GIVES
MARKETING ADVICE

Joseph Steinhardt, of Steinhardt &
Kelly, created quite sensation among
Smoky City housewives last week,
when he gave out hot interview to
all the daily papers on the high cost of
living, says dispatch from Pittsburg.
Joe, with Mrs. Steinhardt, was on his
way to the Cincinnati convention. The
papers played up his interview to the
front page scare head point. He told
the anxious Pittsburg public that it
was not the high cost of living that
allied the poor and middle classes, but
the cost Of high living. He pointed
out that the apples, cabbage, potatoes,
eggs, etc, were the cheapest at whole
sale in years. yet the same old high
prices among retailers still prevailed.

Steinhardt, telephones her orders in

pays any price asked by him. Nothing

quantity her money would buy"
MIR. Stenhardt gave the consuming
public one column of sound sense.

THE COST OF LIVING

Joe Steinhardt gave the housewives
at Pittsburg a few straight facts the
other day as to why the high cost of
living prevailed. Joe is pretty
shrewd Dutchman and close observer.
He has the situation sized up pretty
correctly. The housewife of today is
looking for those articles that will
cause her but little worry. She wants
the cuts of beef, pork and lamb that
can be hastily cooked. She doesn't
order the less expensive cuts of meat.
To prepare them so that they will not
be so tough that the cat cant cat them
takes time, and the housewife of to-
day hasn't any great amount of time
to devote to cooking meals. She has
bridge clubs to attend. she must 90 to
the meetings of various other clubs.
She even has to vote in some states,
and all of these things take time, time
that the housewife of the good ole
days, when husbands ate good police
dinners and didn't have Indigestion

RELATIVE TO TIE LIGHTING CONTRACT

Because of temporary restraining
order secured by the Pacific Power &
Light Co. through J. +. Batchelder.
the city of Hood River has saved the
sum of $400 since last summer, reads a
statement in the Hood River News of
yesterday. This figure has been de-
rived by some sysem perhaps similar
to that used by the Pacific Power &
Light Co., when it made attempts to
explain the rate charged its patrons
before the advent of the competitive
company. Wen remain Chinese" on
the subject and say mo savy". But
we would like to ask a question: "lf
Mr.. Batchelder is such a benefactor to
the city in maintaining this injunction
suit. why does he withdraw it?'
Looking at the matter as covering
alone that period of time that has
elapsed between the bringing of the
suit and the present time or the date
on which the city enters its agreement
with the Hydro company, then maybe
we can say that the city has lost
money. However, we must take into
consideration the history of incidents
that were happening while this Hydro
contract was being led up to. The Pa.
cifc Power & Light Co. was charging
the city approximately $85 for lights
each month. The city felt that this
was heavy sum to pay and had made
repeated efforts to get q contract on 6
reasonable basis on long period. But
then the Pacific Power & Light Go. hat
things its own way and the city was
put off from day to day until the Hydro
came into the field and made the offel
of the reasonable rate. The city ac
cepted the offer. Then the Hood Rive,
Gas 4 Electric Co., the subsidiary con
cern of the Pacific Power & Light Co.
made the offer cutting in half the con
tract price of the Hydro company
However, the city was bound by it!
agreement. The Hydro contract wa
entered into in good faith on boil
sides.
How about the Hood River Ga
& Electric Co. offer? The MONTH,
rate made in that offer could not bu
return the company loss each month
And when a company is operating at
loss, will there not be tendency t,
find some flaw on which to squirm, i
the opportunity again offers a contro

The city, just as the city attorney
Judge Derby, stated last year, is no
confronted by an option but by con
a tract with the Hydro Electric Co. Thu

How to Clean a Sick Room

''In sweeping room with a sick
person in it, always use damp broom
to avoid raising a dust" said Mrs.
Alice Marks Dolman, instructor in
home nursing at the Oregon Agricul-
turalc College, in recent lecture.
''Never use feather duster to dust
with, for this raises dust but does not
remove it," she continued. "k good
solution to use on dust cloth. to mois-
ten it. is as follows: dissolve II tea
spoonfuls of csrbolic acid crystals in
one quart of boiling water and one
ounce of glycerine. Be sure that the
carbolic acid crystals are all dissolved,
else there is great danger of a serious
burn. This solution is a mild disin-
fectsnt and will not injure wall paper
or furniture.

CONSUMING THE CULLS

Hood River valley orchardists wei
come the announcement of the HOOD
River Apple Vinegar Co. stating tha
the company has increased its capita
stock to sl50,000 and that canning
department would be inaugurated
However, the statements of the an
nouncement are modified somewhat
Mr.. Calkins, president Of the concern
states that the company will hold it'
definite plans in allegiance until the
city makes definite plans as to the I'M
provement of streets in the portion oil
the city where the factory is located.
We believe from action at recent
council meetings that the city will open
up the streets of this district. 1t may
be that the city government has been
somewhat remiss in not having gwen
the streets of this portion OF the city
attention before now. However. this
year city, Commercial club and citizens
have joined in the slogan, more man
ufacturing enterprises. " The members
of the council realize the need of i'm
provements in the business district and
will be ready to cooperate with Mr..
CaIkins in Fastening street work there.
The vinegar factory has been OF
great benefit to the people OF Hood
River in the past. The growers have
been receiving better prices for their
windfalls and culls here than elsewhere
in the state. With the enlarged plant
the city shall benefit by the increased
payroll and the growers by profitable
outlet for their second grade fruit.
Fruit districts everywhere realize
the need of plants to handle the lower
grade apples. The st. Joseph Fruit
Grower says:
zone fruit evaporator in northwest
ern Arkansas handled 5000 bushels
of apples this season. Over two hun
dred evaporators, big and little, are
scattered through two counties, and
handle thousands of bushels of apples |
which would otherwise be a waste.
These have helped the Arkansas grow
ers in getting profit from their or
chards when others have failed. "

shall aid in the increase of the produc-
tion of cereals and thereby receive a
like amount from the exchange.
Klickitat county, Washington. and
Marion county, Oregon, are the only
counties west of the Rockies so far to
have taken advantage of the offer.
The crop committee of the exchange
has arranged with the United States
government to take up this work after

THE COUNTRY PAPER

No one, be he or she n resident of a
small city or rural community, can
keep more interesting record than
the a file of the home newspapers. 1t
is file that becomes really valuable
after years pass because of the infor-
nation it contains. Births, deaths,
marriages and all events of Importance
are recorded in its columns. Yet how
few of us keep a file of the home
weekly. The paper on which it is
printed makes as good kindling as does
the city daily and day or two after
its issue its pages start the morning
