PARCEL POST MEN7eR

ofnce~ ~Jte fdTtnd nerdl0 LOOK
up the cause of tho star route
mail carriers in parcel post mat
ters other newspapers have
joined us, and representative
Smith has introduced a bill in
Congress for their relief, We
hope that every paper in Idaho,
and every citizen. will use his
every effort to secure the passage
OF that bill.
The Herald was never an en-
thusiastic supporter of the par
Gel post. 1t is the only great
measure passed by the republi-
can party IN about forty years
of national control, and like the
rest Of republican work, it needs
very, very careful inspection.
Unless Representative Smiths
bill, or a similar one is passed, it
is going TO put every star route
mail carrier in the west ont OF
business. Eventually it is going
to put every country merchant
out of business, and make the
mail order house supreme We
don't care whether YOU like this
statement or not. We don't care
what effect it may have on our
own political or financial for
tune. 1t is the truth and we are
going to tell you that. You are
not entitled to get something for
nothing. You can't coptrovert
the laws of nature. For every
unearned gain there must be a
corresponding loss; and despite
years of evidence to the contrary
we still believe that there is
enough justice left among our
people to again enthrone the
Law of Right.
70 emphasize the effect of the
parcel post laws on the star
route mail carriers, we append a
Iclippihg from the Council Leader
and will ask you to remember
two facts: One Is that no freight
er could be induced at this time
OF year to take the contract re-
ferred to at 81 per pound, and
the other is that the mail carrier
receives absolutely no compensa
tion for the work And, whether
you are beneficiary of the par
Gel post or not, we are going &c
ask you, in all fairness, if you be

Elk City camp must soon handle

while the same man must carry

Just Little Stories

visitor with an aptitude for con-
versation and yet man who likes his
ease recently dropped into the black
smith shop of W. G. Snow. He chatted
with the smithies, as he gradually
worked his way toward the base of a
big triphammer. Several pieces of
waste were scattered on the floor be-
side the hammer foundation, and pret-
ty soongwith grunt of satisfaction,
the chattering man was seating him
self. He settled into position, not
knowing he was placing his whole
weight on the foot lever that operates
the trip hammer. With final grunt
he settled down, leaning his head back
against the hammers anvil. As soon
as the lever, on which he was sitting,
was pressed downward, the trip ham
mer was started to work. Boom
Boom Boom sounded the thump of
the enormous hammer. The conversa-
tionalist was just dwelling on topics
concerning the European war. His
Imagination must have worked won
ders for. from the leap he made get
ting out of the shop he must have
thought one of the big German siege
guns was in action.
The man never takes seat around q
blacksmith shop any more.

BEAUMONT ELOQUENT
In DESCRIBING VALLEY
From the Portland speetatorl


when the Great Architect conceived
this universe be might have created 3
more beautiful spot than the Hood
River valley-but didn't" said DR..
John +. Beaumont, owner of q fine
orchard tract in the famous Hood River
district.
"The Cascade mountains divide into
two ranges at Mount Adams, each find
ing its rugged way farther and farther
from the other, until they embrace the
fertile and beautiful valley of Hood
River. Then they gradually come to-
gether in a binding clasp at Mount
Hood, with that majestic peak barring
solidly the southern union of the
ranges. The snow peaks at either end
stand sentinel over the valley. On
that comparatively small spot you will
find a more perfect combination Of
soil, sunlight and shades, air drafts and
gentle breezes, than can be found in
any other part Of the world. There
isn't a like area on the two hemis-
pheres that is SO well known, and it is
because of the apple that the valley is
so far famed. Go anywhere-you will
hear of the Hood River valley and its
great apples.
"The inhabitants of Hood River val
ley are thrifty lot of retired mer-
chants, bankers, and professional men
from all parts Of the world. They
make a huge success of fruit growing
by applying the same business princi-
Piles to their work that brought about
success in their former fields of en-
deavor. They comprise community
of highly educated happy, and pros
porous horticutursts, getting from
the Hood River valley the pure joy of
life, returning to it energy unbounded,
and again taking from it bountiful
crops of fruit and livelihood.
"The culture of apples by these men
is an extensive scientific study. The
daily care Of the orchard trees is car
ried out with as much tenderness and
as much enthusiasm as nurse would
use with a patient. These facts ac-
count for the production of Hood River
apples. II you will put the same
amount of energy, and reasonable
amount of money, into apple growing
that you put into any other class OF
business, give it your time and are
steadfast in your purpose. your result
will be certain. Combine this with
your financial success, and you will
find life in the Hood River valley
worth living.
''The entire valley is one large intel
lectual community. A percentage of
college graduates predominates in the
social and intellectual life. In Hood
River we have a University club of
more than $50 members; alumni of
practically every large school in the
United States and Europe. We have
a large Musical club. The eligibility
rule is that one must have been pro-
fessional musician. And noted musi-
clans are not lacking in Hood River.
Franz x. Arens, conductor of the New
York Symphony Orchestra, spends the
summers on his Hood River orchard.
"Now THAT the Columbia highway is
nearing completion, Hood Rivers fame
will be enhanced beyond conception
with the travelling public. Motorists
from Portland are sure to find the trip
to Hood River a most delightful way
of spending the week end"

he had been shot to death in quarrel.
was, according to later authentic infor-
nation. the victim Of bis own hands.
Mr.. Kile had recently lost a sum OF
money in business transactions, and
worry over this, his friends say, caused
him to commit suicide.
Mr.. Kile's funeral was held here last
Friday afternoon from the Bartmess
Undertaking chapel, interment follow
ing at the Idlewilde cemetery. The
services were conducted by the Odd
Fellows of the city and valley. He
was a native of Tennessee and AZ years
of age. His wife and seven children
survive. Mr.. Kile was for five years
located in the Upper Valley. He had
had charge of the place Of William
Rodenheiser, who so mysteriously dis
appeared a little more than a year
ago. He was an industrious man and
was respected by his neighbors, who
were shocked at the news Of his tragic
death.
The following letter, to his wife and
sons, was found on his person:
"0ct. Thursday, 2l-l9l4.
Dear Darling: This act is not for
anything you have done. | think you
and the boys can get along better
without me. so don't worry. | have
not done anything disgraceful, but
there is too much in me ! can't stand
il any longer. To the boys:-B good
to your mother. There is little money
in the bank. Edgar you take charge
of everything. You are the best boy |

the letter. Instead of Thursday, We'd

questions another's actions and motives.
Men act differently under different cir

you do right now if you had a severe

Chamberlain Cough Remedy? 1t is
highly recommended by people who

value. Mrs. o. L. Sargent, Peru, Ind, 4,
