GOLD SHIPMENTS TO SOUTH
AMERICA.


one OF the significant features of the
financial situation during the past
week has been the large shipments
Of American gold 10 Brazil Argentina
and other countries of South America.
These nations have had credits in Eu-
rope and England upon which they
wished 10 realize. Because of the de-
mand for gold abroad. arising from
unusual expansion in credit opera

entirely. offsets any Indebtedness OF
England and. Europe 10 US On the
other hand our trade with South
America has expanded 10 a remarkable
degree within recent years, but i'm
ports have greatly exceeded exports
and the trade balance against the
United States has annually grown
larger. This balance is collected for
South American countries through their
European banking connections and
under the existing conditions of inter
national exchange London has directed
US to liquidate by shipments OF gold.
The lesson to be learned from this
anomalous situation is apparent. Amer
lean manufacturers and exporters should
develop a market for our products in
South America Every natural ad
vantage il in favor of our control Of
these constantly growing markets. The
opening of the Panama Canal means
special opportunity to Southern
manufacturers of cotton goods. iron
and steel products, furniture. and
a long list of other commodities Our
failure to secure a strong foothold in
these countries has been apparent for
several years Primarily it Is due to
the lack Of the proper shipping and
banking facilities In addition to
these causes American manufacturers
have seemingly been unwilling 10
adapt their goods to the peculiar
tastes and wants of South American
purchasers and consumers. Already
several of our larger financial institu-
lions have sent representatives TO
these countries for the purpose of
studying conditions and establishing
banking connections The Federal
Bureau OF Manufacturers has also
had a number of its agents in the
principal South American countries
investigating business and trade oppor-
tunities With the opening Of the
Panama Canal better shipping facilities
will also be available. American
business men and manufacturers, and
especially those of the South. should
therefore give the prospects offered
by South American markets careful
and should avail them
selves of the opportunities there,
which should naturally accrue TO the
benefit Of this country, hut which have
already been largely prompted by the
sagacity and foresight of trade and
industrial interests abroad

CANFIELD is NOW
SLOCOM'S PARTNER

A deal was closed MonBdy whereby
j. b. Garfield, son of A. Garfield, who
has resided in the city for several
years, became the partner of Geo. |.
Slocom in the book, periodical and art
business. Mr.. Garfield comes here
from East st. Louis, where for the past
number of years he has been with the
news department of the Fred Harvey
people. He has been connected with
the Harvey company for the past nine
years and has an experience in news
sealing in all lines.
The new partnership will make a
speciality of handling all kinds of peri.
odicals. magazines and newspapers.
1--WE will order for our patrons any
newspaper that they may want, or any
magazine" says Mr.. Garfield, land
it will not be necessary for them to
come to the store. All they will have
to do will be to telephone to us and the
publication will be delivered at their
homes Immediately. Messrs. Slocom
& Garfield have the agency for the Or
egonian, which since the operation of
the late train from Portland over the
O.-W. r. & N. Co. line, will be deliv-
cred by seven o'clock. The Glacier
will be kept on sale at their Oak street
store.
Although Mr.. Garfield has had
number of years experience in art
work, having worked at the Grand
Canyon for the Harvey people, he will
devote his time to the news department
of the store, and MIR. Slocom will have
charge of the art department, framing
pictures and attending to amateur ko-
dak work.

HOMER A. ROGERS
STARTS new HOTEL

Homer A. Rogers, whose bungalow
home is on China hill at an elevation
of 2800 feet, passed through the city
Tuesday en- route to Portland to secure
chef for the new Summer hosiery
that he will open this week. Mr..
Rogers, who is an experienced noun
taineer, having built his home at the
foot of Mount Hood because of his love
of wild mountain scenery. will make a
Summer resort of his Summer home.
In addition to the large bungalow with
its lookout from which may be seen
Mount Adams, Rainier and st. Helens,
Mr.. Rogers will establish tents for the
housing of those guests who prefer
them to rooms in the house.
The name of the new hostelry will
be Mount Hood Lodge. 81 do not in

By-PrOductS Given a Boost

The growers of the Hood River Val
ley are now being given an opportunity
to make the most of their byproducts,
the Gull apples and lower grade fruits
and berries grown in the district. The
Hood River Apple & Vinegar Co. is
making ready to start campaign to
secure the cooperation of the growers
in increasing its plant, not only it's ca
paeity for making cider and vinegar
and for canning and otherwise handling
the fruits.
G. j. Calkins, manager of this plant,
says that representative of the CON-
pany will be in the field soon soliciting
the aid of the growers. 1--WE need

AUTOMOBILE IS
SMASHED IN WRECK

The Ford automobile of William Pc
terson, of White Salmon, who is en-
ployed by the Stanley Smith Lumber
Co. at Green Point and who was re-
turning to the mill plant about three
o'clock Tuesday morning after having
brought some passengers to the city,
was completely wrecked when the car
went over the embankment at the
Struck corner. 1t was at dark hour
and the lights were off.
The machine turned over once and
landed against telephone pole at the
bottom of the embankment. Forum
ately MIR. Peterson was not injured,
with the exception of some scratches
on his arms, although the frame of
the machine was almost completely
wrecked. Both the front seats and
those in the tonneau were torn off and
one of the front wheels was smashed
The car was brought into the city by
Fred Howe. However, at the top of
the hill near the barn of the Taft
Transfer Co. the wheel gave down and
it became necessary to use one of the
rigs of the company from that point.

SCHOOL FAIRS

Now that the Chautauqua is over,
the next event of Importance to Hood
River folk is the school fair to be held
here this fall. This fair, which will be
participated in by the children of the
county's schools, will be quiet and of
course will fail to stir up the excite
ment and the anticipations caused by
the Chautauqua. 1t will not be talked
about so much, nor will il be so much
discussed afterward. And yet, the
Lessons of practical experience that
those who take part in it may learn
from the actual tilhng of the soil, the
love of doing things for themselves
that it may instill into them, may be
of as much value to the community as
that of any other event that may hap
pen in the valley during the year.
An interest is being shown in the
fair Children who are taking part

watching the growth of the vegetables

THE RECALL

We. at least, hope that the recall
petition will prove TO be a tempest in a
tea pot. While the petition seems to
be receiving a good deal Of support, we
think that when the great mass of the
people come to consider the matter
from a sane, rockbottom basis they
will realize that the petition does not
cite any real cause for a recall. The
expenditures Of the county court are
not so extravsgant as the petition
would have US believe. Hood River
county's roads are among its chief
assets. To keep them properly main
tained and to reconstruct needed ones,
we cannot afford to follow a mudhole
policy. OF course. expenditures should
be kept as low as possible but cal
those who are clamoring for the recall
show how efficient results can be at
tanned with smaller expenditure?
The citations Of the petition are pretty
weak.

PAASCH OPTIMISTIC
OVER FRUIT OUTLOOK

81 am very optimistic over the apple
marketing situation since my return, I"
says August Paasch, one of the largest
orchard owners of the Hood River val
ley. who has just arrived at his East
Side home after two months tour of
German cities and United States mar
kets., where he had gone to dispose of
his own fruit crop and that of his
neighbors. 1.-THE situation looks ex-
ceedingly good. Germans are in a
prosperous condition, although their
crops this year are poorer than on most
seasons, especially the fruit products,
and American apples are in strong
demand in all the cities visited. The
Germans like our Newtowns better
than any other apples we grow, and
they want them packed in pasteboard
cartons like we pack eggs.
II visited New York markets and
fruit districts on my way back, and
districts in the northwest. | am of
the opinion that estimates in all dis
tricts are overdone, and that the crop
in no part of the country will be so
large as people seem to think.

neapolis. If | had as many as three
carloads of Gravensteins | would begin

Mr.. Paasch, who was born at Ham
burg, where he has large number of
relatives and is closely connected with
the fruit markets, has shipped his own
fruit and that of number of neigh
hors for the past three years. 1t is
his custom to make a personal canvass
of the markets in the German cities.
On his last trip among the larger
towns he visited were: Bremen,
Hamburg, Lubbock, Berlin, Frankfort
and Nuremburg.
MIR. paasch was severely i'll Just
after he landed in New York, having
been affected by the heat. eve had
to wear our overcoats on the boat, 4" he
says, "and it was like dropping from
wintertime into Hades when we
struck New York, where the tempera-
ture was ranging around no." The
fruit man was i'll in Minneapolis, and
had to remain several days with a
brother who lives near that city. He
has been confined to his bed a part of
the time since his return here.
MIR. Paasch states that he is ready to
buy the apples of his neighbors or to
ship them for them to his German
markets as he has done in the past
few years.

BILLIE" SUNDAY

Nobody went to sleep at the Chau-
tauqua sermon of "Billie" Sunday,
and those who stopped to think about
such a matter realized that billie"
Sunday would have made just about as
great success as a farmer, a lawyer,
an actor, or almost anything else, as
he has made as minister. And he
has made notable success as an evan
gelist. He has strength and he takes
himself seriously. He has way of
telling one things that causes even the
man who listens to hlm in a cynical
frame of mind to listen and ponder.
Whatever a mans religious views may
be he can listen to "Bilhe" Sunday
and appreciate his sermons. for this
modern day evangelist, with his re-
freshing sense of humor and his unique
way of expressing things, things that
smack of common sense and not long
faced, philosophical dissertations, is
very much of man.
billie" Sunday is successful
worker in the vineyard of the Lord,
not only for the Lord, but for himself.
