HOME INDUSTRY

Although because of numerous con
flicting circumstances. the weather and
a failure in the naturalization of some
anticipated happenings. the Home In
dustries Day at the Chautauqua Satur-
day afternoon fell short of the plans
announced, still the visiting manufac-
turers who came to the valley brought
a pertinent message to the valley citi-
zens. 1t was message of reciprocity,
and message that, if listened to will
build up better community in a
broader and more prosperous CONNER
cial commonwealth.
The Oregon Manufacturers Associa-
tion breaches the doctrine of "buy
from your home merchant and Made in
Oregon goods when possible. This
association has been formed for the
promotion of manufacturing industries
already begun in Oregon and to lay the
foundation of future ones. Prospective
manufacturers, those looking for sites
for such industries as they desire to
engage in are constantly coming in
touch with the officials of the organic
alton. 1t is we'll for the different com
munities of the state to keep the asso-
citation informed of its opportunities.
But returning to the slogan, "Buy at
Home" !" Hood River people have the
reputation of being as loyal to their
home industries as any to. be found on
the globe. and yet there are some who
thoughtlessIy fail to follow these bust.
ness principals. And merchants who
have come to Hood River to begin
their businesses, having been called tC
the city because.of that reputation for
loyalty are heard to mutter with dis.
content because as they say, "There
are some who go away to get for no
less money and of no better quality
goods, goods that may be found on the
home shelves. "
If those who have thoughtlessly con-
ducted their business in such manner
will stop for moment to think, they
will realize that they are of no greater
influence in building up the town than
if they were not residents.

ARMY POST FIRES.
Why They Are Infrequent and the Way
They Are Handled.

Why They Are lnfrequent and the Way
They Are Handled.
Perhaps the low percentage Of fires
In the army is directly due to the fact
that guard duty is never suspended.
In daylight and dark, during peace
or in time of war, armed sentries
walk their posts, scattered everywhere
over the garrisons. Falling asleep
while ON guard is serious offense.
Therefore the guards are always alert.
Never is a sentry mounted on a post
! without n caution to look out for fires.
One Of the first charges in guards
general orders is one In which he H.
cautioned to keep sharp watch for
fire. His first duty in case a building
is occupied by humanity Is to warn
the occupants. Next he turns in gen
eral alarm. And when the fire call is
blown by the trumpeter at the main
guardhouse every male member Of the
garrison, except the guard, is com
PEELED to hurry to the scene OF the
matter how he is dressed
1t is not necessary that a man
should be In regulation uniform to re-
spond to a fire call. Military fires do
not wait for antagonists in full dress
parade costume, any more than city
fires procrastinate while the members
of the department make careful toilets.
Once week, sometimes oftener, In
every military garrison, large or small,
throughout the country-and there are
several hundred at home and in our
possessions-a fire drill Is held. Not
a soul save the commanding officer Is
advised of what hour of the day or
night or on what day of the week a
fire call will be blown. AS fires do not
give warning of their coming, 1t is OBJ
viously advantageous that fire drill
should be as uncertain.
When the fire call goes either for
drill or for fight for life and proper
ty, the soldiers rush out of their quar-
ters, leave their posts in the company
kitchens and on the drill grounds,
picking up fire buckets and fire axes
as they go in the race for the fire sta
ton Some may be hatless, some coat
less and others shirtless. But it is an
honor to be among the first to take
hold of the fire equipment
All the officers dash for the fire
house, too, and the highest ranking
officer present assumes the duties OF
fire chief. A run is made with chem
ical engines and hand drawn hose
carts and hook and ladder trucks for
a building designated as the scene of
the fire. When the equipment Is out
for fire drill the men take advantage
of the occasion and play water on the
windows of buildings, giving them a
good cleaning.
The amount of fire fighting appa-
ratus furnished the posts by the gov
ernment for their protection is regu-
lated, OF course, entirely by the size
and needs Of each post,-Monroe Wool

The Wrecked Sublime Porte.

Hans Andersen ranks Constantinople
first among European capitals in point
of beauty, then Stockholm, Edinburgh
and Lisbon. The Turkish capital has
suffered less from fires than most ori-
entail cities, but one occurred in 1865
which turned the name by which the
sultans government is generally known
into mlsnomer. Among the buildings
attacked was the Seral palace, where
councils are held and ambassadors re-
ceived The chief gate of the palace,
the Babi-Humayum, or sublime porte,
from which the government derives Its
title, was burned down and has never
been rebuilt.

THE CHAUTAUQUA

When an institution becomes so large
as was the Chautauqua this year, its
success depends on the work of many,
and to many of those connected with
the affair is a praise to be extended by
those who enjoyed the event and its
comforts Of e0mmissary and tent ho-
tel in the Woodworth park. The cleo
tric lights formed feature and with
out them half of the pleasures Of the
evenings would have been lost. G. X.
Marshall, of the grounds committee of
the Chautauqua, who took charge of
the placing of the tents and the install
lation Of the electric light plant. sue
ceeded in giving the campers their
greatest convenience. The lights shone
in tent bedrooms and over the grounds
without flicker.
OF course, the man going to the
camp and expecting accommodations
equal to those of city hotel was dis
appointed. He should have remained
in town. AS whole the event was
managed we'll. However, the friendly
suggestions may be made that each
department of the affair should have
been under separate head. While too
many fingers in a pudding spoil it. yet
when the pudding is so big more than
one cook is needed.
Ii has been rumored that the Chau-
tauqua will be put on commercial
basis in the future. For the few who
are able to enjoy the affair on this
plan, all would be we'll. Without the
discomfort caused by the assembling
of large crowd, the lesser numbers
could gather unto themselves and make
the most of a week in the open air.
But even then, if the Chautauqua were
to be commercialized for the sake of
profit, we think it would be a losing
venture.
The Chautauqua has proved popular
this year and last year because of the
democratic feeling that pervaded the
atmoshere. No one felt that he was
looking over the private property of
another man when he glanced at the
dooryard of his tent. This feeling that
all were assembled to mingle, make
friends and forget business was the
great drawing card Of the Chautauqua.
1t was suggested for this purpose by
Mr.. Sargent year before last and its
hasty naturalization was brought |
about by the expression of this feeling.
The Chautauqua can only be perpetu-
ated by keeping alive such a senti-
ment.
