ARISTOCRATIC BOVINES
BOUGHT BY J. J. HILL

John c, Shaw is in receipt of a let.
ter from his brother, Thomas Shaw,
who is now in Europe purchasing
thoroughbred cattle for James J. Hill,
giving the information that many aris.
tocratic boyines will be added to Mr..
Hills herd, The very best which can
be found across the water are being
selected and the question OF price is
not entering into the matter to any
great extent, as $4,000 has been paid
for bull, and others are being
bought at correspondingly high prices.
The letter states that twenty.elght
shorthorns and twelve Ayrshires have
been purchased, and that the writer
has visited many lands before buying
the shorthorns, as he was determined
to get only the best. lie continues:
Il am positive that we have bought
the best herd OF shoTthorns that ever
left England. The average price for
them was 5000, and for the Ayrshires,
$3.50. One of the bulls cost $1,000, and
was 4-year.old at that. No one can
tell me dual purpose cattle cannot be
bred. The highest priced cattle in
England are the dual shorthorns
Many give 10000 pounds Of milk per
year, and at the same time produce
the best OF beef steers. have secured
twenty-five 0xfords and twenty-five
Shropshire sheep, and Mr.. Hill has
cabled me to get three Angus bull,
and | am starting tonight for Aber.
deem, Scotland. to get them"
Before returning, Mr. Shaw will visit
Holland for the purpose OF obtaining
n herd OF Holsteins, and from there
will go to France to buy French dairy
cattle, a breed little known in this
country.
Mr.. Shaw was for several years
head of the agricultural college at
Guelph, Ontario, and was afterward an
instructor In the University OF Mime
sofa. He is the author of fifteen
works on agriculture. many of them
being used as text books in the diff
ferent colleges, and is designated by
James J. Hip as one of the best-if not
the best--agriculturalist in America.

the teachings of the Catholic church,
the republic is the sole legitimate gov
ernment; to the republic Catholics are
in conscience obliged to yield sincere
and answering obedience.
God is the source and the giver of
all power; of themselves men have no
autohrity over other men. The author
ity of the parent over the child is from
God, who created nature and so created
the family: the authority of the state
is from God, who willed that men
should live within the fostering en-
brace of social organism. In this
sense, but in none other, a govern
ment, whatever the form, rules by di-
vine right. God gives the power; but
the people choose those that hold it,
and mark out the conditions under
which they do hold it. This is supreme
democracy; it is the dogma of Catholi-
cism.
In America the government is the
repuDlic-the government of the peo-
pie, by the people. for the people.
With you, fellow Catholics, with you,
fellow Americans, salute the repub-
lie. thank God that the people of
America are capable of possessing a
government of this form. The repub-
lic-it is the fullest recognition of hu-
man dignity and human rights, the
fullest grant of personal freedom, that
due respect for the rigts of others and
the welfare of the social organism may
allow. Permit the barbarous on
slaughts of lawlessness and anarchy to
undermine its foundations or loosen the
cement binding together its walls
Never. so long as life still throbs with
in our bosoms Alter it to empire or
monarchy! Never, so long as our lip
praise it, or our hand WELD arms in its
defense.
Would we alter, if we could, the con-
stitution in regard to its treatment of
religion, the principles of Americanism
in regard to religious freedom? an
swer with an emphatic No. Common
sense IS ours. Common justice is ours
regard to our own welfare and safety
is also ours. The broad fact is that
the American people are divided in
matters of religious belief; to the
American people, to the whole people,
does the country belong. What else,
then, could the trainers of the consti-
tuition have done, what else since their
time could the Legislators of the land
have done, in equity towards all, in
equity to the country as one nation, to
its people as one people, but solemnly
decree, as they did, as they continue to
do, equal rights to all-rights to all,
privileges to none? Necessarily relig-
ious freedom is the basic life of Amer
lea, the cement running through all its
walls and battlements, the safeguard
Of its peace and prosperity. Violate
religious freedom against Catholics +;
our swords are at once unsheathed.
Violate it in favor of Catholics,
against non- Catholics no less readily
do they leap from the scabbard. Con
tributed.

VALLEY SOON WILL
NEED MORE PICKERS

1.-The picking and packing of fruit
will be in full sway next week, says
II. +. Davidson, district manager of
the North Pacific Fruit Distributors.
''The weather is ideal, and all varieties
are cOloring very fast now. We are
receiving more orders for the earlier
varieties than we can fill, and are book
ing many orders for future shipments
to points throughout the country. The
greater number Of shipments that have
already been made are to foreign
points. Export Jonathans are now
being picked, but the Jonathans for
the trade of this country will be al
lowed to ripen more.
"The market is becoming stronger
and we have increased the price on all
of our varieties five cents per box.
George Rae, of the firm of Rae q Hat
field. of New York. has just been in
the city looking over the local field
with an eye to business.
The packing school, with SO students,
is progressing at the local warehouses.
A number of the wives and daughters
of prominent valley orchardists are in
attendance. The local supply of pack
ers will probably suffice to handle the
crop. However, the valley will need
many pickers this year.
The directors of the North Pacific
Distributors will hold a conference al
Spokane Monday, at which MIR. David
son, president of the board, will be
present.
When asked what he thought of the
establishment of an Office here by the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange, Mr.
Davidson said: at will be bad thing
for the Hood River growers to divide
the sale of their product. A good por
tion of our troubles last year were
caused by a competition among our
selves. We don't want to repeat such
things" "

A MEANS OF IDENTIFICATION

Between the sidewalks and the street
of most all the thoroughfares in the
residence districts of the city of Hood
River are broad parkings. In some Of
these parkings big, green oak trees
are already growing, while in others
the grass is kept closely crOpt. making
attractive views along the streets and
in front of homes. However, in places
wild oats and weeds are several feet
high on the parkings.
Some one has suggested that the city
have an arbor day-it would be well
to plant the trees on the regular arbor
day and that all of these parks be
lined with shade trees.
You will only think for a moment to
realize what beauty such trees will add
to the streets. For instance, imagine
Cascade avenue, its long straight
stretch, with its gentle decline toward
the business district of the town, bor-
dered in the springtime with fine trees,
their foliage just bursting.
Indeed, the city has an opportunity
to become far more beautiful, and at
a very slight expense.

II. R. II. s. Happenings

Hood River High is to have foot
ball team this year. Fred Coshow is
captain of the team and Prof. Critics is
coaching the huskies into championship
cailbre. There is hopes of team that
will even show up we'll against The
Dslles High.
The newly elected student body Off
GERS are: Leon Noble, pres. (; Law
rene Hershner, vice pres. Hilma I'm
holz, sec. F.; Hayes Bickford, treas. Bill
Mcclure, athletic manager; Fred Co
show, asst athletic manager; Thurston

Elizabeth Baker, literary manager /;
John Allen, asst literary manager !;
Rud ImhoIz, business and advertising
manager, and Wilson Yowell, yell lead
er. Six of these office holders are
juniors and five are seniors.
The sophomore class otIiciated at a
class feed on the sand bar last Friday
night. They kept the news SO quiet
that no other of the classes were on
hand to receive or disturb them.
The senior class has elected the fol-
lowing officers: DeForrest Gould, pres !;
Allan Harris, vice pres. /; Frances Eliz-
abeth Baker, treas, and VIII Mcclure,
sec. The various other offices. a pilot
for the Mascot and the like. have not
yet been filled.
These officers will preside over the
sophomore class this year: Leon Bent
ley, pres. Mark Moe, vice pres. Mar
ian Dakin, treas. Paul Harris, sec. /;
Suzanne Kay, social leader. This So
cial leader office is new one, but it
does not seem out of place to have an
executive over that end of the game.
The officers of the freshman class are
Theona Hall. pres. ; Samuel Coad, vice
pres. Ruth Vaughn, sec. Lillian
Brock, treas. At the present time the
freshman class has held its tenth class
meeting.
The enrolment at the high school is
now 1886. There are few farmer boys
in the brush who will come in after the
apple crop is harvested so we can claim
an enrolment of l50.
Some of the high school students
come over five miles to get to school,
but 0rva and Floyd Wright, VINO cross
the Columbia from White Salmon each
morning, probably journey the farthest.

CITY PURCHASES
STREET FLUSHER

As soon as a fusher can be brought
here from Spokane, work will be begun
toward keeping the paved district as
clean as the thoroughfares OF a spot
less town. The council at the Monday
night meeting accepted the bid OF u.
Mcdonald, local representative OF the
Studebaker Company, and bought a
iusher Of that make, paying the sum
of $1,000, one third cash, one third IN
year, and the remainder in two years,
| the time installments to bear a six per
cent rate of interest. A representa-
tive will put the new flusher in work
ing order and instruct the city EN-
pl0yes in its use.
The town will be made "spick and
span" for the coming OF the 100 oi
more delegates Of the Woman's club,
who will arrive here on October 8,
Representative of the local Woman Z
club, one Of whom, Mrs. X. ID. Gould,
ADDRESSED the council. were assured By
action taken by the city fathers that
every effort would be made toward the
inauguration of general clean up day
Non residents will be notified OF the
city's intention, and in case they fal
to follow the suggestions Of beautifica'
tion, the city marshal will take charge
of their property and charge the ex'
penditure for cleaning unsightly prem
ises to the property itself.
One of the interesting proceedings oi
the council was that related to calling
for proposed common user ordinance
for power and telephone companies.
An effort was made by members of the
body to secure a general ordinance pro-
viding for common user lines through
out the city. Representatives Of both
power companies, The Hydro Electric
Go. and the Hood River Gas & Electric
Co., and from the 0regon-Washingtor
Telephone Co. and the Pacific Tele-
phone e. Telegraph Co. were present.
Ii was asserted by NC. Evans, pres
ldent of the Hydro Electric Co., that
the city of Hood River, together with
Portland and Eugene, followed the
rules laid down by the general laws of
the state and the members of the line
mems union. Albert S. Hall, manager
of the Hood River Gas & Electric Co.,
and Richard S. Danforth. manager of
the Hydro Electric Co., both recited
the expenditure that it would impose
on the power companies to reconstruct
their line and asked for postpOnement
Of the ordinance. The representative
Of the Pacific Telephone Co. declared
that his company was not opposed TO
Joint use of lines. w. N. Winter stated
that the action OF the State Railway
Commission, the members of which
were supposed to take into considera-
ton and propose general rules to gov
ern the joint use of lines by power and
telephone companies, had not been re-
ceived by the companies.
Action tending toward general or
dnance was killed, the majority of the
council taking the view that the ex-
pendture would be too heavy for the
companies. However, resolution
calling for an ordinance to provide for
the common use of pole lines in the fire
ditrict of the city, will be called for at
the next meeting of the council.
Bids were opened on the contract for
the improvement and grading of Sher-
man avenue from Sixth to Ninth
street, and an award made to John T..
Zolls, whose bid on the work was
Sl428.

STATE TO BUILD
LARGE LOG HOUSE

Oregon is to have log building to
house its exhibits at the Panama Pacific
exposition. The design for the build
ing has been selected by the Oregon
Commissioners for the Oregon building
which will be part of the fair at San
Francisco in 1915. Tentative plans pre-
pared by the architects show huge
log building of novel design, the build
ing being so constructed in accordance
with the wishes of the commission and
in keeping with pronounced popular
demand. lnasmuch as the exposition
itself will not give space to separate
forestry display. it is believed that
Oregon can attract much attention in
this novel way and striking manner to
one of it's chief industries. This log
house will be characteristic and truly
magnificent structure such as could be
obtained with no other native material.

Important to Growers!

Some of our members advise us that Mr. A. ?. Bate
ham and Mr. j. c. Skinner of the Northwest Fruit
Exchange are urging growers to divide their crop
shipping part with them giving as reason that they
are selling certain varieties at much higher prices
than we are obtaining also making misleading state
ments as to the distributors charge and that we well
come the division of the business which is not consis
tent with the policy of the Association. If the North
west Fruit Exchange or any other institution in the
we can obtain we will be glad to do business with
them We invite your fullest inquiries on this or any
other question The information in this office isOpen
to you at all times. Concentration of shipments
through your Association means your future success
