YOUTH and POPULARITY

Hood Rivers most youthful county
officer is also the most popular. We
refer to County Clerk Shoemaker. Mr.,
Shoemaker. less than rs years old, is
at that point in life where many men
are trying to peer out into the future
and wonder what they are going to do.
Despite his extreme youth Mr.. Shoe
maker has held his Office for two years
already. The vote he received last
week attests to what character of man
he must be. While it is a failing OF
mature men and women to allow public
popularity to 60 to their heads, youth
is much more susceptible. Many a
good man has ruined himself by think
ing too much of himself. but Mr..
Shoemaker, while he has expressed
modestly his feelings of qualification
for the confidence imposed in him BY
bis fellow citizens, has been impervious
to the wiles of conceit. He has made
an efficient officer and a courteous one.
Although he has become known to
everyone as "Kent," the dignity Of
his position has been maintained.
Kent Shoemaker is fortunate in pos.
sesslng the attributes that go toward
making a successful public official, and
Hood River county is fortunate in hav.
ing him for county clerk.

EAT APPLES

We are glad to see more of disposi.
tion on the part of Hood River people
to eat more of their apples, more of 9
desire on the part of local hotels to
serve the big perfect specimens ir
their dining rooms. And merchants are
showing more and better apples than in
former seasons. We have neglected
this in the past. Incoming tourists
have wondered why they did not see
good apples on display.
We are going to have a great many
tourists next spring. We should have
apples plenty reserved for their de.
mands. And we should keep back some
of the best. The tourists are going tc
judge all Hood River apples by the
samples they are able to procure iron
local dealers. We should not forget

FANCY PRODUCTS co.
PUTS OUT CONNECTION

The Fancy Fruit Products Co.. the
apple butter of which created SO great
a demand during the past summer. is
now putting on the market for holiday
consumption the candied apple confec-
tions. Some of the candied apples are
chocolate covered.
Samples of the fruit were distributed
throughout the city last week by Ran
dali s. Pratt, who conceived the idea
of candying the apple. It. has been
tried out by numerous local people
whose sweet teeth make them connois-
seurs of candies, and the universal
comment has been. "bully" or words
to that effect. The apple bons will no
doubt make hit in the cities.
A box of the goodies was presented
to William McMurrsy. general passen.
ger agent of the O..W. r. & N. Co..
who was here Tuesday. Mr.. McMur.
ray will consider the matter of placing
the product on the Company's diners.
Associated with MIR. Pratt in the
manufacture OF the apple bons are A.
F. Adams and W. A. Schaffner.

Noble Exhibits Old Ballots

NJ. X. Noble, exhibited at I.araway's
store last Saturday old ballots used in
the presidential election of 1876, when
Rutherford b. Hayes defeated Samuel
j. Tilden. Tie ballots, with all names
printed in, we're very simple compared
to the modern day blanket used under
the Australian system and containing
initiative measures.
Mr.. Noble has compiled the follow.
ing chronological data on the Hayes.
Tilden campaign, which in many ways
is similar to that Of the past several
months.
On June 16, 1876, the national Repub.
lican convention at Cincinnati, Ohio,
nominated Rutherford B. Hayes. 0n
June 28 Samuel J. Tilden was nominal
ed at st. Louis as the Democratic can.
didate. July 4 great centennial cele-
brations all over the United States
in honor the Tooth anniversary of it's
independence. August l Colorado was
admitted as state, making it the GEN.
tennial state. October 8 the first state
election was held in Colorado.
October 10 state elections held in
Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia indi.
cted a close presidential contest.
Tuesday, November Z, 1876, the 23rd
presidential election was held, and the
result left doubtful for many months,
both parties claiming the election.
This election was held 40 years ago
to day.. Samuel j. Tilden had 1874
electoral votes, 1856 being necessary
to elect. Rutherford b. Hayes had l78,
with Florida, four votes, and Louisiana,
eight, uncertain.
On December the second session Of
the 44th congress opened, and s. j.
Randall was chosen speaker.
December 6 the electoral votes were
cast in the electoral college. Represen-
tative men from each party had been
present to see that a fair count was
had. When Florida and Louisiana we're
reached disputes arose as to whom the
electoral votes should be counted for.
The returning boards of those states
being Republican, gave the returns Ia
Hayes, while the Democrats claimed
the right to count them for Tilden as
both states had gone Democratic. Thus
two returns we're made from those
states from which congress must
choose.
January Is, 1877 Most of the time
and thought of congress up to this time
had been occupied in divising means to
settle the election dispute, On this
date joint committee reported con-
promise bill for securing this end.
January 25 the compromise bill was
passed by both houses-47 yeas to II
nays in the senate and 19i yeas to sc
nays in the house. Congress organized
an electoral commission of FIVE sena.
tors, five representatives and five
judges of the supreme court, to which
the contested points were submitted,
tn ir decision to be final. Eight mem.
bers, when elected, proved to be Re.
publcans and seven Democrats The
decision was made on party lines and
gave the disputed southern states tc
the Republicans by eight votes tC
seven. Returns by the electoral col
Ieges, one from Oregon and one from
South Carolina, we're decided on tech.
nical grounds and the commission gave
those to the Republicans.

rated president in Washington, thus
ending one of the closest presidential
elections in the history of the United
States,

VOTERS And MEASURES

That the electorate of Oregon very
often fails to understand the intent oi
initiative measures was clearly showr
at the election of last week, when the
proposed amendment, eliminating from
the Oregon constitution the suffrage
discrimination against negros, mulat'
tos and Indians was defeated by
large vote. The measure was defeated
by large majority in Hood River
county, and we believe, not because it
is our home community but because OF
the class of the population, that the
electors of the county are as intelli-
gent as those of any other county OF
the state. Voters simply failed to in.
form themselves on the measure.
The proposed amendment merely pro-
vided for the pruning Of a dead branch
from the Oregon constitution. AS far
as the actual status of negro, or voters
of other colors is concerned, it is not
changed one whit by the recent vote.
II the vote had been yes, this status
would have remained the same. The
legislature simply referred the bill to
the people for the purpose of eliminat.
ing a section of the original Oregon
constitution that was abrogated by the
fifteenth amendment to the constitu.
tion of the United States.
There is. however. one hopeful sign
III the Indifference. if not ignorance, of
the voters-they vote no when they
fail to understand bill.

APPLE NOTES

Substitution of an extra fancy and q
standard pack for Washington apples
In place of the present extra fancy,
fancy and Z grade was strongly urged
at a meeting of the fruit growers be.
tween the Union and Selah gaps held
at North Yakima last week to name
delegates to the county conference
Nov. l6 and the Spokane conference
Nov. %. Clarence Starcher, of Fair
view, took the lead In championing the
two grade plan, being supported by
C. H. Swigart, grower and general
manager of the Yakima Valley Fruit
Growers association, and several
Others. They were defeated by q
close vote, but the question promises
to come up when the county meeting
is held, as it is known the plan has
many supporters among fruit growers
in other districts. 1t is possible the
Yakima delegation will favor the plan
at Spokane.
The meeting favored including apples
with two healed-over stinks in the {
grade and proposed lowering present
color requirements on Baldwins, Mcln-
tosh Reds and Missouri Pippins. An
effort to have present color require.
ments on Jonathans lowered failed.

Hood River apple growers find that
instead of an estimated crop of 900, 600,
they have harvested crop of 1900, 900
boxes. The.increase is ascribed to the
exceptionally large size of the fruit due
to ideal growing weather. With such a
crop everybody ought to be able to
have apples and cider for the winter
evenings around the fireplace. - The

 ORDINANCE VICTIM
BrOnStein Leaves Car in Restricted
 District -AbSent from Court

Harry Bronstein of $50 East Main street, an automobilist, was arrested by Traffic Officer Clarence Lamphere yesterday afternoon for leaving his car in the restricted district on West Main street. Bronstein was advised to appear in court this morning and retained Lawyer M. D. Sake to de- fend him. When his case was called Rronstein did not appear and his lawyer was in a quandary as to his whereabouts. Judge Meskil ordered Bronstein's arrest and ruled that he should give a bond to assure his pres- cncc in court tomorrow.
 Women Have Fight
 Mrs. Ethel Horwitz was arraigncd on charge of assaulting Mrs. Jen- nie Marholin. She was represented by Lawyer M. D. Sake and entered a plea of not guilty. Assistant Prose- cutor J. G. Woods stated the facts in the case, saying that on last Thurs day the complainant visited the de- fendant'S store on Hartford avenue tc buy some meat Because she had previously bought a chicken from another dealer, Mrs. Horwitz became decidedly vexed and lost no time and declared an ultimatum. Mrs. Mar holin said Mrs. Horwitz hit her and almost knocked a gold tooth out, then attacked her with a chair and finally elected her from the store. Lawyer Saxe belittled the trouble and said it was "just a Woman's sQuabble" that was precipitated when Mrs. Mar holin accused Mrs. Horwitz of being a thief. The lawyer recommended that judgment be suspended and the assistant prosecutor seconded the mo- ton. Judgment was suspended.
 Two Go to Jail.
 John (Butsey) Brady took leave of the town home yesterday and visited the city and he wouldn't take it for in front of city hall where he looked pityingly at Traffic Officer Lamphere and proclaimed to the public that that individual had the hardest job in the city and he wouldn't take it for $1O a day. Then he sought out number of bartender friends and later returned to the town home. Super intendent Kibbe had him arrested this morning and he was sent to jail for thirty days. He protested however. that he was being unjustly dealt with as he was not drunk.
 Elzier White, an expressman who was in court a few days ago for drunkenness and who pleaded for could take the pledge, was in again this morning. He may have taken the pledge, but indications are that

What To Do For
 Nervous Indigestion

When nerves go wrong they always seem to strike at your weakest spot. When this spot happens to be the stomach, nervous dyspepsia results, appetite vanishes and gives way to dull, dread, uneasiness and hollow,
 gnawing feeling that keeps up until
 every nerve in your body seems on
 edge. The food you force down won't digest properly, and you're all in down and out for one day at least
 so far as being really useful to your- self or anyone else is concerned.
 It's the height of folly to force the : digestion of food with some pepsin pill when the stomach nerves are in such shape Nervous indigestion comes from the nerves alone. Get the nerves right and all distress will vanish. Thanks to remarkable chemical discovery it is now possible to feed the nerve cells with the exact stimu- Jus they require when OverwOrked and unstrung and preparation called Margo Nerve Tablets is producing re- markable results in the treatment of
 Nervous Dyspepsia, and other nerve disorders. They make a remarka able 1 change in many instances in ten min utes by the watch, strengthening the stomach and charging the nerve cells 1 with strength, pOise, power, and tre- mendous reserve energy and giving | nerves of steel, clear head and brain, ! courage, power, quick wit, and real 1 vital vim. Margo Nerve Tablets can- 1 not harm anyone. They contain no ] dope or dangerous habit-forming 1 drugs Forty tablets come in a large 1 package, and this is often enough to give lasting relief to even the most 1 obstinate cases. Clark & Brainerd
