 Early in 1886 he visited some of the southern states and Mexico. The enthusiasm of General Grants receptions in the old world, the favorable impression made upon the public by his brief prudent and pratiCal speeches while abroad, to- gether with the high military ge- nius and his civil administration as President of Sne United States, led many of his friends to seek for him he nomination for a third Dresi- le2tial term. At the Republican nominating convection held in Chicago in June. 1880, the name of General Grant was presented and during the first thirty six pallets secured votes ranging from 302 to 313. Owing, however to the objec- ion of many of the delegates to the nomination of General Grant for third term, his adherents, to the number ot 306, found them selves without the necessary s@p- port in the convention, and that

To the Editor Industrial Worker.
 Deer Sir:-As several subscribers of tke Worker have recently been making inquiries regarding the time when Ex-President Grant made a tour through the different countries of the world. Will you please publish the following which is quoted from page 775, Volume XXVI Of the ninth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. After retiring from the Presidency March 4th, 1877. General Grant decided to visit foreign countries and on May 17th of the same year he sailed from Philadelphia for England accompanied by his wife and son. He was everywhere re ceived with royal greetings by the sovereigns of Europe and people of the old world. After leaving Great Britain he visited the con tinental countries of Europe and HIGH IOui ltNCu LII Otsoi l@SS r tRAiN Palestine; thence he sailed for In dia. visiting Calcutta and other places of interest. In the latter part of March, 1879, he sailed for Burmah and later visited the Ma Iacca benin: ula, Siam Cochin, China and Kong Kong, reaching the last named place April 3oth. Next he made a tour into the interior of China At Pekin Prince Kung re quested him to act as arbitrator in settling controversy between China and the Loo Chco Islands.
 In this matter, while prevented by his plans from acting in T formal arbitration, ha studied the question in controversy, and gave such ad- vice as to aid in a settlement with out war. Next he visited Japan where the horrors showed him were even greater than these received in any other country. He sailed from Yokohoma Sept. 3, 1879 reaching San Francisco on September goth and received the heartiest of greet :ngs everywhere on the Pacito

 The great interest taken by the public ir a series of articles fur nished oy Grant to "The Century Magazine induced his friends to urge hin to write his own biogra- phy to the close of the Civil War. He consented to do this, especially as the contract he was able 10 make with the publishers of his books promised him such large financial returns, as would relieve his family from much Of the embar- rassment caused by the losses of his property through the fraudul- ont conduct of some Of his former partners in business. His contract for his biography, two volumes cctavo, was signed February 27th, 1885, the work appearing about a year later; and so large was the

 In the summer of 1884 General Grant began to suffer from what soon proved to be a cancer at the root of the tongue. The sympathy of the whole nation was aroused in his behalf, and on March 4, 1885 Congress passed a bill making him General on the retired list, thus re- storing him to the rank from which he resigned after the close Of the war.

Exemptions From War Income Tax
 How Computed.

g. Sec 3.-That the taxes i'm posed by section one and two of this Act sEall be computed, levied, assessed. collected, ard paid upon the sane basis and ir the same manner at the similar taxes i'm posed by section one of such Act of September s, 1916, except that in the case of tl.e tax imposed by sec lion one of this Act the exemptions of September 8, 1916, as amended by this Act, shall be, respectively $1,O0O and $2,00O, and ;he returns required under this Act, shall be rec uired in tie case 0f net incomes of $1,000 or over, in the Case of unmarried persons, and $2,000 or over in the case of married per sons.
 You will note that the tax of 1916 is still m force and the 1917 tax is an additional one.
 In computing the above tax gle individual is allowed the old eX- emption on the ? per centum tax of 1916 but is only allowed $1,000 or $2,O0O exemrtit n on the adii- tional 2 per centum tax of 1917 with an additional exemption of $2OO for each derendcnt child under eighteen years of age.
 Therefore married mall with a income of $5,OOO per year would pay per centum of $2,000 and 4 per centum on $1,OOO with $2O0 additional exemption for each child under eighteen.

POSTAGE RATES In
CREASE NOVEMBER 2

Now comes the high cost of writing.
Saccharine love utterings, envelope
bound, bad bill duns and all letters
now sent for 2 cents will. beginning
November 2 take 3 cents, and postals
for long years bought at the stamp
window for one copper will require
two.
This does not include letters mailed
to places in the city or delivered by
rural routes of the local postoffices.
These letters will continue to be 2
cents. But If you wish to send letter
to Mosier or Pensacola, Fla, you'll
have to come through with 8 cents.
The postals, however, will cost
cents, no matter whether they are for
delivery in the city or whether they
are for the outgoing mail.
This information was received last
week by Postmaster Reavis from
United States Postmaster General Bur-
Lesson.
''This is the first time in 100 years
that the government has adopted a
postal rate ,to bring a revenue to the
government" says Mr.. Reavis. ''It
would facilitate matters for postal en-
ployes greatly if business firms in the
city would segregate their city and
outgoing mail. This can easily be
done now as each has separate rate.
Until the new postal cards are placed
on sale person mailing one of the
regular 1.cent ones after November 2
will have to place l-cent stamp upon

SAFEST SECURITY
in THE WORLD

The United States offers you an op-
portunity to invest in the safest secur-
ity in the world. and will pay you
per cent interest on your money.
The estimated wealth Of the United
States is about $50 billion dollars.
Our national debt was a little more
than one billion dollars before the
break with Germany. Adding to this
the two billion dollars borrowed in the
first Liberty Loan gives total nation
al debt of little over one per cent Of
the total wealth of the country.
The yearly incomes in the United
States are estimated at about 40 bill
ion dollars, or Is times the total ma
tional debt including the first Liberty
Loan and about 400 times the annual
interest charges on our total debt.
If man should come to you and
want you to lend him $1,000 and you
knew he owned property worth $780,
600; if you knew that his yearly in
come was sl3, 600 and he gave you his
note would you lend him the 81, 600?
Will you lend Iyour money to the
United States on such basis?

Charles w. Hilliard, alias J. W
Moorehouse, ]. c. Morrell and H. C.
Hinton, alleged clever forger who::i is
wanted in Chicago, Denver and De-
troit, just before his recent arrest in
Portland, spent several days in Hood
River valley. Hilliard stopped at a
hotel, posing as wealthy young man
from Chicago. He made inquiries of
orchard property, declaring that he
contemplated purchase.
Following his order for the printing
of number of blank checks at Port
land printery, Portland detectives ar
reste1 Hilliard as a suspect. When
replies to the notification of the Port
land detectives failed to arrive within
a reasonable time, the man was re-
leased. Now that urgent kilograms
are coming in for billiards detention,
he has flown.
Local bankers are congratulatipg
themselves on the fact that Hilliard
was apprehended before he entered in
to negotiations for the purchase of a
ranch, for they assert that they feel
sure that he would have endeavored to
float some of his spurious checks in
such a transaction.

Mr.. Kern's crews OF men at Cascade

of the river town. Traffic, however.
will be kept off the road until it has
been surfaced with gravel.
"If automobiles were permitted to
use the soft earth grade" says Com

very short time until it would be cut
up so badly that the way would be i'm
passable.
Large numbers of automobiles, how
ever, pass through Hood River daily
