their heads grazed the roof of the

were expanding. each molecule sepa.

The girl shrank into Thompson's
arms. I'D die happier to feel you

said.
Old Karlson hesitated. He was the
most stubborn man in Upas City, and
had always been proud of his reputa

GEM PROGRAM TODAY

The Gem theatre has been showing
some high class pictures recently, none
of which, however. have been more
wonderful than the film production Of
D'Annunzio's "Cabiria," which was
shown there Monday and Tuesday.
This great show, depicting the life OF
Rome, other Italian cities and Egypt,
has had a wonderful run in all the large
cities, where high prices were charged.
1t was IN ~ reels and took two and a
half hours for production.
No photo play has ever created
greater interest in Hood River. Local
residents who asw the Birth of a Ma
tion in Portland recently declare that
Cabiria was every bit as good. Each
evening the Gem filled to its capacity
10 minutes before the performance, the
waiting crowd listening to the music of
Cbandler's 0rcestra, the selections Of
which were as pleasing as those of an
Hungarian orchestra at a city theatre.
al was really at an expense in pro-
ducing the show locally" says Mr..
Lambert, "but | simply want to do
such things occasionally to show the
people that | am here to please them
and to give them the very best produc-
tions, even at a greater cost to my
self. "
Today Howard Estabrook will be seen
in IN 'liss." Barbara Tennany takes
part also in this magnificent five part
Shubert masterpiece.

Today

Nearly everybody has read David
Harum," and most of America is IA
miliar with William H. Crane, dean of
American actors. William H. Crane in
David Harum will be at the Electric
theatre today. He was there yesterday
and many of bis old friends went to see
him. Come and see the old horse
sWspper" up to his tricks of the trade
David Harum never forgets friend
or let's an injury malici0usly done go
unretaliated. When David was a child.
a courteous neghbor took the neg lected
little country boy to circus, treating
him to red lemonade and all the trim
mings, and when, in later years, that
boy, David Harum, has grown to man
hood, and again meets his benetactor's s
widow he gives her the deed of her
home, about to be taken from her, and
calls the loan of day of happiness
square. That is the keynote of David s
character. He. is banker in a country
town, and devotes his leisure moments
to horse trading and after being worst
ed in a deal with the very self right
eOus deacon of the town, lays low
and waits until he has very fine look
ing horse groomed and in splendid con.
dition which he sells to the deacon for
mere song The next day it rains and
David drives by the drenched deacon,
who is trying to make the balky animal
start and remarks slyly that he told
had the deacon 1.-THE horse would stand
without hitchin " and drives on, feel
ing that he has pretty well paid the
deacon for his own crooked work. Da-
vid gets new clerk in the bank. John
Lennox, young man whose rich father
had been ruined leaving John penniless
and unprepared for his battle with the
! world.
David finds John manly and conscien-
tious and takes a fatherly interest in
him, furthering his career and a ro-
nance which develops between him
and the pretty schoolmarm of the town,
and also saving him from malicious
band of c0unterfeiters, who had planned
to throw the crime on John but for the
astuteness of the sly old David, who
traps them in the pit they had prepared
| for John.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
This is the frat of the last quarter.

In the secretary's report at the close
Of 1912 are the words: I'VE have plenty
Of internal business TO attend to that
will be far more profitable than Great
ing a demand for land in Hood River
valley among outsiders" Taking this
as their cues the directors instigated
number of meetings in the Club rooms.
that eliminated in the "Dry Rot
meeting in February which over 200
apple growers attended. The cure for
dry rot as given by Professor Law
renee that day was cover crops, and as
result of that meeting, hardly an
orchard today in Hood River valley
shows the color Of dirt. Instead is the
beautiful green of clover and alfalfa,
and a great saving in the expense of
importing hay. Cows have multiplied,
hogs have followed in their footsteps,
and King Corn has come to live in Hood
River Valley.
Following this same line OF thought
the Commercial club will make no ex-
hibit at the Land Show this year, be-
lieving that the effort and money that
it would cost can be better employed at
home. We have just finished in Hood
River a stock show that is much to our
credit. 1t was not a Club proposition.
but there is quite bit of evidence to
show that Club effort started the stock
business in Hood River. So much for
that.

Along the same lines as talked in
September Bulletin, we have in Hood
River a jeweler, a master workman in
his line, who loves Hood River as the
idol Of his heart. He can do as fine
work in his line as the biggest shops in
Portland. He has probably written as
many commendable letters back east
about Hood River as any other ten citi-
zens. No man ever lived who was
prouder of hs home than this man, and
no man should patronize mail order
house when he can do business with W.
F. Laraway.

Ravin wants very much a good pic
ture of Mitchells Point tunnel, a pic
ture extremely hard to get. Some
thing that shows the windows from the
outside and the viaduct, for publication
in the San Francisco Chronicle. Pic
lures taken so far fail to show the
magnitude of the work, so if local
camera fiends have anything that will
assist in getting publicity on the tun-
mel, please leave copy with the Club.

A letter from Ravlin says that Hood
River does not use large enough wrap
pers on her pears; that the present
wrappers fail to properly protect the
fruit from the stems, which harden
after packing, and he has found many
pears with punctures. He states that
a hundred boxes of Rogue River pears
opened at the Oregon building failed to
produce one punctured pear. He states
further that he would like to have at
least two boxes of Jonathans size 96s
for exhibit at the Hood River booth.
On the Both of September Walla Walla
gave away 600 boxes of Jonathans at
the Washington building, but concludes
with what comedies with the Club pol
icy since 1912, "that promiscuous CIV
ing away of fruit has no advertising
value whatsoever.

As mentioned in the papers last
week, some very nice corn has been
left at the office of the Club and it is
suggested that every one in the valley
pick out the best six ears of corn he
raised this year and bring it in. This
being the first year corn has been
raised in any quantities in the valley,
it is believed quite a showing can be
made, and quite an impression created
upon visitors to the rooms, both from
out of the valley and those residents of
the valley who have not yet tried corn.
Something in the nature of corn
show.
