HOOD RIVER Is A
POPULAR PLACE

A. W. 0nthsnk. who has charge of a
large number of houses in the city. says
that he has noticed two peculiar things
about his business this year.
"For one thing" says Mr.. 0nthank,
IL have noticed that the demand for
comfortable homes during the sumner
months has been greater this season
than in any former during my expert.
ence. II is usually the case that the
demand is not noticeable until the fall
about the time schools open. But this
summer the demand began early and
has increased right along, until not a
desirable vacant house is left in town.
"Another thing, 80 per cent of the
people who have come here this sum-
mer with the purpose of locating were
from California. They we're formerly
eastern residents who had grown tired
of California. We have had two Cali
fornia families, those of c. II. Ridley
and j. A. Painter, move here and buy
homes in the Barrett district.

(From The Dalles Chronicle)

When G. j. Crandall took a party of
friends for motor trip on the Colum-
bia highway in his new car recently.
he forgot to reckon with the always-to-
be taken into consideration mishap.
The big machine hummed along happily
until it struck a rut in the road-then
an axle popped. The members of the
party abandoned the car and had start
ed to walk to Hood River. some seven
miles, when they were picked up by an
obliging motorist who offered to take
them to Hood River. The obliging
motorists car broke down three miles
from Hood River and the occupants
began a second stroll homew ard. A
mile farther on they were picked up a
second time and we're taken to Hood
River. where they hired third car and
drove to the Crandall summer cottage
in the Hood River valley. The Gran
dali car was pushed to the side Of the
highway and was left there until a
new axle could be secured from Port
land. Mr.. and Mrs. M. 2. Donnell and
Mrs. W. H. Groat. of this city, were
guests of Mr.. Crandall. In future, the
latter says, he will carry two extra
axles. four tires ready for placing. two
tool kits and patent tire inflater to be
ready for emergencies.

FOR A SHORT SESSION.

The biennial demand for short
session of the Wisconsin Legislature has
started up again. From many quarters
comes the admonitiOn to the solons, to
get down to business at the start, legis-
late, and return home. The prevailing
notion seems to be that SlOthfulness on
the part of the lawmakers is the one
great cause OF the ever increasing
length of the legislative session. But it
j. mistaken notion. The real cause
Of long drawn ont sessions is overwork,
~-CverwOrk in the service of selfish
special interests. The public interests
would be served in short order, if
every two years men did not go to
Madison and camp in the state capitol
and work over time for special favors
to be secured by the enactment of some
bad law, or by the repeal of some good
law.
Two years ago the legislative session
was prolonged to record breaking
length by strenuous work to dislocate
the educational system of the state to
legalize illegal saloons, to repeal the
best waterpower law ever enacted and
to do other unwise and evil things too
numerous to mention

There will be great fight over two
water power measures-the Shields bill
aud the Meyers bill-at the short session
OF congress. These measures, which
have powerful selfish interests behind
them, do not properly safeguard the
public interests. At the last session
amendments offered in the senate on
behalf of the commonwealth were voted
down; and the prospect for the right
kind Of water power legislation is not
bright. Will it fall to President Wilson,
together with his other manifold and
great duties to clear the tangled path
along this lines The people look to
him in an emergency.
