HATS OFF TO SAN DIEGO

To the enterprise and perseverance,
the spirit Of hustle ana progress Of tic
people of San Diego we must take eft
our hats. The San Diego people opened
their Panama California exposition
with everything ready. And,they have
a charming little fair. Ii is not SO
small, either. and yet it.is dwarfed IN
comparison with the huge exposition OF
her big sister Of the Golden Gate.
Yet the big sister Of the Golden Gate
can very well take lessons from her
little sister, San Diego, who is not
such a tiny sister. II seems impossible
to have a worlds fair completed on
schedule time. The big eXpositions Of
past years have never been ready on
time. Rut the world has been made to
believe that almost every nail was
driven, every building was ready and
every sidewalk laid at San Francisco.
No doubt San Francisco has eclipsed
anything that has ever been given, and
yet the publicity given out has caused
readers to draw. false conclusions.
There is probably already more on dis.
play at San Francisco than any one
will have time to see. But the fact that
much is not ready will give grounds for
just criticism. And the tales the early
visitors will tell will have a very detri-
mental effect

WINANS RECEIVES
TREE SUPPORTPATENT

W. X. Winans has been granted
patent on his net tree support invented
by him last year. The support consists
of coarse netting, made of twine or
wire that is thrown about the limbs and
this makes them support any heavy
burden of fruit. Fine, gum covered
netting may be placed over the coarse
supporting threads and thus catch any
moths or insect pests that might at
tempt to attack the fruit or foliage. A
description of the new patent recently
appeared in the Scientific American.
MIR. Winans has applied for patent

How Do You Laugh2

Refinement can be indicated as
strongly by the manner in which per-
son laughs as by the tone OF the speak.
ing voice
IL some people could hear the tone
they use while laughing they would
doom themselves to perpetual sadness
A real hearty laugh is like a tonic
to the system. 1t not only does the
person good who enjoys 1t, but 1t does
every one good who hears It
or such a laugh there is no criticism
But there are people who do not enjoy
laughing. but who laugh in a forced
and artificial manner, and generally at
the most impossible moment
An affected laugh by either man
or a woman is q counterfeit of the true
feelings. There is no necessity to
laugh loudly. the beartest laugh Is
the softest In tone.
Remember. when laughter Is natural
II is Irresistible and beautiful, and
when It is forced II falls like rasping
brass upon refined ears.-Philadelphia
Telegraph.

Braxil's Name.

Long before the Portuguese colonized

merchants had equipped expeditions in

of Brasylle. Who gave Brazil her pres

cry of Brazil merchants had brought
from the east for the use of dyers a

THE GARBAGE NUISANCE

Last week the city council had before
it the ,annual discussion Of the spring
garbage nuisance. Underwood people
do not like to cross the sand bars north
of the city with their handkerchiefs to
their noses.
Now comes the comfy court and de-
clares that it will prosecute anyone
Hereafter guilty of throwing garbage
over the Tucker or Crockett grades.
Now those who travel these routes
wish il were possible to determine the
parties already guilty of making an
eyesore of otherwise beautiful land
scapes and to make them have a clean
up day. 1t seems that there ought Ger.

THE HIGHWAY SQUABBLE

The best advice we can think of to
offer the state highway engineer, his
staff and members of the courts of the
counties through which the COlum bia
highway is passing is: Look ye upon
the actions of the fruit growers, and
try to get together. Arrogance and
egotism in any line Of business. private
or public, leads to no good ends. State
Highway Engineer Bowlby and the
county courts have been squabbling and
fussing, until we know not what may
happen.
Despite his abilities as an engineer
and despite the fact that he seems keen
to watch out for the interest of the
state OF counties as against contractors.
Major BOwlby seems burdened with a
something that may well be described
as an utter lack Of diplomacy.
And our own county court, while
working for what they no doubt think
the best interest of their constituents.
too, are guilty of acts that in the face
of scrutiny seem uncalled for. To say
the least. they are not diplomatic,

seen and appreciated already by large
Hood River audiences, but the doors
have been cloed at rehearsals, it is
said, in order to prevent the Orpheum

syndicate from swiping the stunts and
skits.

a laughing crows foot at the outside

NEWTON SALES TOTAL
SEVENTEEN CARLOADS

The Apple Growers Associations sale
Of fancy Newtowns in Portland eclipsed
any single campaign ever waged by a
selling agency. During the week that
the Newtowns were offered II carloads
were disposed of.
'On account Of the conditions of the
market in the east it would have been
almost impossible to have sold this
fruit anywhere else" says A. w.
Stone.
The selling campaign was in charge
of o. ID. Cravens, of the Upper Valley.
Mr. Cravens has been employed by the
Association for several months. His
services were secured in the selling
campaign on account of his former ex-
perience in the jewelry department of
big department store. S A. Clark,
Of the Distributors, also worked for
the success of the sales, according to
Mir. Stone.
