RAILWAY STRIKE

As will be noted In another column,
the Commercial club has adopted res
olution urging the railways of the coun.
try and their employees to settle theiI
differences by arbitration.
Railway employees have asked TO,
500, 900. 900 year more than they are
now getting. some $500 more per indi.
vidual man. The increased pay is be.
ing asked for the men who at present
are drawing the highest salaries.
The Glacier shall not endeavor to go
into merits of the employees demands,
nor the answers of the companies.
Labor should receive a fair proportion
of the income that it earns. but its de-
mands should not be SO excessive as to
cripple railway service and prevent fu.
ture development. But we do believe
that some national measures should be
taken to prevent such a wholesale
strike as that now pending. If the
trainmen 60 out railway systems Of the
entire country will be tied up. the pro.
duce of farms will lie in the fields. and
the products of manufacturing com.
panies will remain at terminals. The
public will suffer. in case of strike,
more than either employers or EN-.
ployes.

The LAND GRANT BIIL,

The Chamberlain Land Grant bill,
now before congress, has the support oi
the entire Oregon representation in the
national legislative bodies. The bill
was passed by the senate, but when il
went to the house an endeavor was
made in committees by California in.
terests, and those of other states, Il
amend the bill as originally introduced,
and to allot to the Oregon irreducible
school fund only 20 per cent of the pro.
eeeds of the grant, whereas the original
allotment had called for 40 per cent fo,
the school fund. 20 per cent for roads
in the land grant counties and the re.
naming 20 per cent to go to the gen.
eral reclamation fund.
The Chamberlain bill should have the
support Of every man. woman and child
in Oregon. Today the state has an ir.
redueible school fund of Sc, 600, 600. II
the bill. as passed by the senate is car.
ried, the fund will be increased by the
sum Of $4,000, 900. This money is
loaned at six per cent. and the annual
income will reach the cum of 81, ,0S0,
600. Certainly this is worth saving
for the state.

in case the original bill fails to carry,
and his efforts in behalf OF the state
school fund have been indefatigabIe.
Hood Rivers commercial body and
the school board Of district No. 3 have
never taken a more important action
than that of letting their representa-.
tives in congress know that they are
behind them. In the fewest of words,
0regon's school fund cannot afford tt

Washinaton's Home.

interesting Of all American man
sions, was erected In 1743 for Law.

George, and SO named In honor of Ad'
miral Edward Vernon, r. n, under
whose command Lawrence Washing
ton had served during the British ex,
pedition against Cartagena In 1741
The property passed into the hands OF
George after the death Of Lawrence
in 1852. and the house was later i'm
proved and enlarged. When Mrs
Washington died In 1902 Mount Yer
non became, In accordance with Wash
ington's will, the property Of his neph
ew, Bushrod Washington, who in turn

and in 1858 1t was purchased from him

Took Away the STING.

A pleasant retort was that given by
Admiral Marsden at dinner In Malta
several years ago. 1t was given on the
Fourth Of July by him to the American
officers on a man-of-war, and all the
English officers In the harbor were
guests. They were no better bred than
many Englishmen Of that day, for
when the regular toast, The day we
celebrate" was read, they set down
their glasses untasted. The venerable
host added gently, "The day, gentle
men, when England celebrates the
coming Of age Of her eldest daughter"
Every face cleared, and the toast was
drunk with hearty cheers. Wit never
finds Its way to the mark so swiftly as

will,

Some years ago the Oldham ANA.

oratonos. under the psrsonal tuition
and conductorship Of the late Sir
Charles Halle. Among the orchestra
was the famous and gigantic bassoon
player. George Seel Of Ashton-under-
Lyme. At the first rehearsal Halle
went to George and, indicating several
bars for the bassoon. told him not to
play them on the night Of the per.
formance. George was inwardly boil.
ing with indignation. but said nothing.
On the night of the performance
George played the banned music.
When the affair was over Halle went

HOOD RIVER REPRESENTATION

Ii is said by leading citizens of Wasco
county, which forms with Hood River
county both representative and SEN
atorisi district in representation in the
state legislature. that Hood River
should have a man on one of the legis-
lative bodies. Hood River people be-
lieve that they are entitled to man.
At present Hood River has no candi-
date for the lower ouse, two Of whom
must be elected. II has, however. three
aspirants to the senatorship, one Dem.
ocrat and two Republicans. Wasco
county has Republican candidate.
Citizens of Wasco county who claim
to be conversant with political condi-
tions, declare that Of the Hood River
Republican candidates. }. r. Nickelsen
is the strongest. A large percentage
of Wasco voters are said to be favora-
BILE to the proposition of giving the
senatorship to Hood River man, but
it is feared that IL two Republican as
pirants for the nomination are left in
the field, the vote may be so divided
that the Wasco county Republican will
get the nomination and thus in all
probability the election.
In the face of such circumstances
would it not be wise for Hood River
Republicans to unite on one man? Since
It is granted that Mr.. Nickelsen is the
stronger. is he not the logical man for
Republican support at the coming pri.
maries?
Mr.. Nickelsen has advanced a plat
form that should be acceptable to all
men of Hood River county. He pro-
poses that the Columbia river highway
be taken over and maintained by the
state. and this is a matter of first i'm
portance to local taxpayers.

Not only do good roads form one of
the best assets members of a farming
community can possess. but they are q
boon to the merchants of commun-
ity's principal city. Good roads enable
farmers to enter into broader social
life and at the same time they can haul
their produce to market more cheaply.
Where good roads are found, you may
we'll expect and usually encounter good
schools and we'll attended churches. A
system of good roads enables farmers
to reach their home merchants. The
chances of the mail order house are to
a great extent eliminated by good
roads. Where the roads are bad. as
was pointed out last week by J. R.
Steele, of the Middle Valley, the
rancher is tempted to order awsy from
home by mail. and once the habit is
formed it is hard to break.

SPRING FLOWERS

Along the Columbia the wild currant
Is blooming. Brown cliffsides display
spots of Irish green. where crosses
thrive in moistened crevices. and the
pink of moss or lichen blooms adds a
vivid color to the scenic grandeur. The
old gold of Oregon grape is seen. A
little later the purple lupin will be
waving in acre tracts, and the wild
sunHowers that grow so profusely in
the Belmont district will be afame on
hillsides.
As spring and summer advance other
wild flowers will bloom on the higher
levels. The dogwood will open its
white petals, and sweet perfume Of the
wild lilac will he waited on warm
breeses. The Mount Hood lilies will
spring from their winter beds of rich
leaf mould. And as late as September
one can find the flowers of springtime
on the high base of Mount Hood.

A POSTOFFICE BUILDING

A bill was recently prepared and in
troduced in congress providing for the
expenditure Of 100000 for the pur.
chase of a site and construction of q
postoffice building at Hood River.
At first thought the possibility of Sc.
curing such structure no doubt pro.
duced a sense of qualification in the
minds of all local citizens. But on ser.
ious consideration do we find that we
need such q structure here? Will it be
economical tor the government to build
500, 200 structure? Will It not be
cheaper to continue to pay a nominal
rental in the present quarters, and will
not the service rendered the patrons of
the Office be just as good as though the
imposing structure were built, and an
other vacant store room added to those
already unoccupied?
After an honest answer TO these ques-
tions we do not think that any local
citizen can enter very enthusiastically
in demand on the government for
such postoffice building. In time we
will probably have real need for the
expenditure of federal funds for a local
postofiice. but let's be frank and say
there is no necessity for such struc-
ture at present.
We would like to see compilation of
figures. showing the amount of money
the federal government has expended
in towns of the United States for USE
less federal buildings. The sum would
probably reach to figures that would be
amazing. Congressional candidates,
seeking reelection, have pointed with
pride in many cases to these monu-
ments to the pork barrel that have
become burdensome part of our polit.
ical system. when they really ought to
blush at recalling their authorship of
bills that have provided the means of a
national extravaganza.
The government is at present paying
81 600 year for rent, light. heat and
Office fixtures at Hood River. The de.
probation and maintenance of a $780,.
900 building would be at least $40, 900
a year to say nothing of the interest on
the amount invested in the building.
And yet the national legislators pri-
marily are not to blame for the pork
barrel system. They have merely sue
eumbed to the demands of their con-
stituencies. and the national govern
ment has been administered on basis
of sectionalism IN proportion to the
number of states in the union.
