AGAINST A MILITARY CLASS

GOOD SUPPORT FOR THE MILITIA

mentlng his address at Crete. In which
he opposed a great military or naval
program. Governor Morehead gave out
this additional statement today:
Il believe we should give all proper
support to the state militia and In train
ing young men to perform military serv-
ice without. however. taxing them out
OF civil life and removing them from
useful occupations / do not believe II
would DO a good thing for our country
to build up a military class by creating
a standing army OF half a million men.
which some of the advocates OF mill
tarlsm insist we should have.
''Our navy. In my opinion, should be
powerful enough 10 insure our coast de-
lenses and prevent invasion. Beyond
that do not believe we should go. The
interests of the American people will be
best promoted by not mixing in foreign
affairs but staying In our own coun-
try. and differences arising In other coun-
tries should be settled by arbitration.
I'VE are fortunate that men who are
strong for military achievements have
not had control OF the national govern
ment during the last year. President
Wilson has done the country an ines
Unable service and made himself very
popular by doing everything possible TO
avoid trouble with other countries. The
thing that has made him stronger with
the people than everything else is that
he has kept us out OF war.
IF we had been prepared to the extent
that some militaristic newspapers and
politicians advocate. we might very
easily have become embroiled In the
European war. Such preparations as
these men and journals are clamorine
for would require at least 100000 In a
very few years. No such expenditure IL
necessary for a peaceful nation, that hai
no aggressive desires against other ma
lions.

PLANS TALKED OVER
AT @. B. NYE'S HOME

Fifteen of the fruit growers of the
west Side were invited by o. B. Nye
to his home last week. when the plans
OF the Growers Council and the work
Of the Board of Control and Executive
committee were thoroughly discussed.
"All were convinced that the move.
ment is in the right direction, saws
Mr.. Nye, who was one of the Hood
River delegates to the Tacoma confer
ence and is member of the Growers
Council.
The movement seems to me, says
Mr., Nye, 'to be the only salvation Of
the fruit grower. AS yet, however,
many do not understand the purposes
of the organization. 1t will not sell a
single apple. 1t is growers Organiza-
tion over and above the lines of agency
aiilllatlon. Ii has for its purposes the
maintenance of prices, and to keep
wholesalers and commission men from
waging their battles with the growers
money. And yet it is not antagonistic
to these middle men.
The word stabilize has often been
used in connection with the new move
ment, and Gan think Of no better in a
description of 1t; for the growers have
1t in their power to put their industry
on a stable basis.
Everybody is pleased to see W. II.
Paulhamus at the head of the new or
ganlzatlon. He has had such unprece-
dented success with the business of his
berrymen's association that we have
every reason to believe that the new
plans will be carried to successful
ends"

FAIR CONDITIONS
CAUSE OFFENSE

Mrs. h. &. Moe, of Dayton, Wash.
who has just returned from siS
weeks automobile tour of California,
arrived Saturday for a evening for a
visit with the families of MIR. and Mrs.
A. ID. Moe and Mr.. and Mrs. +. II.
Blackman. Mrs. Moe was with party
of Dayton friends. They visited the
San Diego exposition and the Panama
Pacific International exposition at San
Francisco.
"The San Diego fair is complete and
rs an excellent exhibit" says Mrs.
Moe. However, at San Francisco
many of the buildings remain incom-
plete and have not been opened. 1t
Will be three months before the fair is
ready entirely. Only the main thor
oughfares have been finished"
Mrs. Moe states that since the fair
opened the prices at some of the hotels
have been boosted, and charges of gar
age and other accommodations have
risen materially. The Dayton party
left San Francisco disappointed and
offended by conditions that prevail in
many places. All of the party had
purchased tickets for the great auto
mobile race that was to have been
given while they were there. On ac.
count of rain the race was postponed.
The management of the race, however.
would not refund the money for the
tickets, but stated that they would be
honored at the race on March 6. 1t
was impossible for any member of the
party to remain for that date. Thous-
ands of those who bought tickets were
treated in the same manner.

QUADRANGULAR BAS-
KET BALL MEET

Probably the greatest basket ball
meet ever held here is to be staged to-
morrow and Saturday. The DaIles high
school team cannot playttheir games at
home this year, at the gymnasium in
the basement of the new high school
cannot be finished this month. At the
present time White Salmon and Steven.
son are tied for champs of the league.
If The Dalles hi wins these three
games they will be in the fight with
White Salmon and Stevenson. Coach
Gronewall, of The Dalles, says his team
can do this and he is coming down to
camp here the end of this week with
The Dalles cohorts of rooters to prove
this.
The schedule of games is as follows
The Dalles vs.. Stevenson, Friday night,
March 5, at p. M. f: The DaIes vs.
White Salmon Saturday afternoon,
March 6, at 2.30 p. m., The DalIes vs..
Hood River Saturday night, March 6,
at p, m. A. M. Grilley, or some
other Portland referee, will officiate at
these games.
The Hood River team has lost every
game in the league SO far this season.
In explaining the failure of his team to
win this season Coach Critics said:
There are better basket ball teams in
the league this year than there fas ever
been before and my team has not kept
the pace with the others"

New Horticultural of Experiment Station

cal avdisory board of the Hood River
branch experiment station, Director of
the oregon Experiment Station A. B,
Cordley and Profs. c. /. Lewis and II.
5. Jackson, r. W. Allen, who for the
past six years has been in charge OF
the experiment station at Hermiston.
was appointed to take charge of the
work of the local station formerly at
tended to by G. c. Starring. Mr.. Al
len, who has made a number of visits
to the local territory, having observed
the experiments of Mr.. Sarring, is al
ready familiar with the most of the
tasks and problems of the station.
AT recent meeting of fruit growers
a resolution was adopted urging that
Prot. Henderson be appointed to sue
ceed Mr.. Starring. These recommenda
tlons were submitted to the Agricul-
tural College men here Saturday, and
while they expressed themselves as re-
GREETING that they would not be able
to comply with the wishes of the grow
ers, 1t was stated that MIR. Allen had
been selected for the position MANY
months ago.
The o. A. G. men stated that MIR,
Allen, had received a very flattering
offer from North Yakima, and in order
to get him to remain with the Oregon
station they had promised him an an
pointment here, and that il was felt
that he should be named to the posi-
tion.
The advisory board is composed of
the following men: Prof. Thompson,
representing West Side; C. A. Reed
East Side; Frank A. Massee, Odell
and G. p. Johannsen, the Up-
per Valley. A. B. Coulter was FIRST
elected to represent the Upper Valley.
but could not serve. The Upper Val
ley citizens met and selected Mr., Jo-
hansen to take his place.
The members of the advisory board
have arranged for general meeting
Of the fruit growers to be held on Sat
lrday, March 20. Prots. Lewis and
Jackson will be present to discuss with
he growers'the problems that will be
studied throughout the year.
Mr.. A lien made soil survey of the
Hood River valley before Hood River
county was established.
Another reason for the non.appoint-
nent of Prof. Henderson is the fact
hat his work has been that of bot
mist, and therefore along pathological
ines. The station already has a path
,logist in j. X. Winston. If both of
he men in charge of the institution
we're pathologists no provisions would
,e made for working out some of the
most serious problems that face the
growers, such as those connected with
over crops and irrigation.

"kNOW OFNO EXTRAS"
SAYS JUDGE STANTON

Il have no knowledge of any extras
for the Columbia Highway work that is
being done by the Newport Land &
Construction Co.. says Judge K. E.
Stanton, despite the fact that re.
cent newspaper articles have stated
that the contractors have called for at
least $4,000 more than the amount
specified IN the contract-$58, 900.
The publicity gwen these statements
aroused Judge Stanton to an investiga-
tion. Last week he wrote to Engineer
j. A. Elliott. who is in charge of the
work for the state, asking him to make
a report of the matter. "Many people
have come to me after seeing news of
the alleged call for extras" continued
Judge Stanton. ''As for the sum of
approximately 1884, the Newport
Land & Construction Co. did not take
the work on fiat figure. If the esti-
mates of state engineer are correct, the
figures submitted by the Newport com
pany and accepted by the county court
and the State Highway Commission
will bring the cost to this amount. II
the work runs over the estimate, the
cost, of course, will be greater"
