OFFICIAL
VISITS The VALLEY

Accompanied by Vim. McMurray,
general passenger agent of the o. W
X. & n. Co, j. l.. Edwards. chief of
the agricultural section of the United
States Railway Administration visited
here Thursday. Mr.. McMurray and
his guest were taken for a tour of the
orchard districts by Z. o. Blanchar
and j. H. Fredricy.
c. b. Menzies and Samuel c. Ian
caster brought the visitors as far as
Cascade Locks over the Highway.
The party breakfasted at Crown Point.
Mr.. Edwards, who declared the Colum-
bla Highway the most wonderful he
has ever seen. was informed while
here that Hood River would ship fruit,
vegetables. potatoes, hay and lumber
to the amount of 1856 cars this year.
! Mr. Edwards paid Hood River valley
the biggest tribute it has recently re-
ceived. The climax of the short Jour
ney through the orchards, their boughs
fruit-laden. occurred when Mr.. Blan-
char topped the summit of Van Horn
Butte. From there visitor is able to
see apple trees, no matter toward
what horizon he turn. The views
started Mr.. Edwards, Georgian, and
with his southern drawl he began to
talk
Il cannot see why anyone who has
ever lived here would want to move
away, or go to heaven. 1t seems that
you have all that mortal man could
ask. The immensely of your produc-
tion is really astonishing. considering
the comparatively small area. Mr..
Fredricy just told me that you ex-
pected to ship nearly 5000 cars Of
products this year.
"And J judge that local residents
are not inclined to move out. This is
evidenced by the fine homes have
seen. have never seen rural district
with better equipped or finer lot of
residences.
Plenty of water is to me the most
significant feature, from a utilitarian
standpoint, that have seen here. No
wonder you can always produce fine
crops. 1t seems that we have passed
an irrigation ditch or flume every 100
feet of the way around the valley"
Mr. Edwards ended his eulogies,
lauding the scenic grandeurs. He de-
clared that he had never visited any
region more appealing.

Harry Farrell, who returned last week
from tour of Willamette valley points
in the interest of the H. F. Davidson
Fruit Co.. with which he is now associ-
ated, declares that he was surprised at
the development of apple orchards
there. Mr.. Farrell visited Newberg,
Woodburn, Dundee, Sheridan and Sa
lem. He believes that these districts
will harvest at least 100 carloads of
fruit this year.
Mr.. Farrell says the resident owners
of orchards have taken excellent care
of their tracts, although some large
commercial orchards envelope by non
residents have been allowed to grow
up neglected. Generally, however. he
says, the fruit will be of high quality.
He says he finds that growers of the
Willamette valley are specializing on
Rome Beautys. He says that growers
of the districts visited are eager to
secure all possible information of prop.
er methods of cultivation and spraying.

Cologne. Germany, JAM 27.-Ger-
many will attempt to make capital at
the peace congress out of Poland's
demands for territory-if Germany
can make herself heard.
Count Kess1er. home from Warsaw.
seizes up the situation in Poland from
a German viewpoint thus:
The National Democrats desire to
create a greater Poland from sea to
sea, including, Of course, Danzig. They
claim West Prussia, part of Pomera-
mia, part of East Prussia, all of Posen
and Upper Silesia.
The Polish Social Democracy. head
ed by Piludski, aims at the internal
consolidation of the Polish state.
Socialists of the Left are Interna-
tionalists and revolutionary.
A further group is formed by the
Jews. They are feeling even more
conscious that they are people
within themselves, says Kessler. and
the religious character of the Jewish
communities is giving way to q po-
litical character.
Developments sinse Kessler gave
this resume of conditions indicate that
Pt1suSdskfs aims are not wholly con-
fined to internal consolidation"
The count further declares that by
the scheme for a greater Poland a
country less than so per cent Polish
would be created and other nationali-
ties would be oppressed.

NEEDS OF CONSTRUCTION.

A division of public works and construction
development" has been created in the depart
ment of labor at Washington, the purpose being
to aid in promoting public works and private
construction. Secretary Wilson announces that
the new service will gather and distribute infor-
nation that will enable private initiative to make
the transaction from war to peace basis With
out serious interruption, due to lack of data on
which business judgment must depend. The d.
vision was organized by F. T. Miller, publisher
of construction periodicals, as a section of the
departments information and education service,
of which Roger w. Babson is chief. The partic-
ular work of the division will be to secure data
for use of the construction industry.
In announcing the formation of the division,
it is declared that construction activity at this
time is essential to the general welfare of the
country, and it is further stated:
Public credit is ample for all public works.
The money used crculates through the state ten
times in the twelve months, and largely remains
in the state while the structure endures for the
benefit of society.
'Since the beginning of the European war,
construction has decreased, until now it is quite
at standstill There is, therefore, an accumu-
lated need for building. The shortage of con-
struction is indicated by high rents.
1.-THE increased cost of building materials is
only about half that of other commodities.
''The increased cost of building materials is
offset in some localities by decreased cost of
land.
Investment in building has always been con-
sidered the safest investment for the individual
and his dependents.
1.-THE country is perhaps a full year behind in
its civil construction program, amounting to at
least three billion dollars. The amount must be
caI1pht I'M and norma al hudinp continued. q cOn-
dition of permanently arrested development of
this country is inconceivable.
eat this time of quiet in the industry the
foresighted who have need for building will
naturally receive better service than when the
rush comes on"

asked Rothblatt if he regretted he
had entered the army. He replied that
h ewas sorry that chad caused greif
to his old parents by running away
from home. But he was very glad to
have the chance to fight for his
country. He said that the war had
made man of him and that he was

passion for learning as the result of
his war experience. He spends most

WORLDS COTTON TRADE.

How will the worlds cotton trade be conducted
after the war? This question, as the current is
sue of Americas points out in long and we'll
standpoint of actual money values, well as
that of extensiveness and diversity of use cotton
stands among the leading manufactured arti-
cles of international commerce. The worldwide
demands for cotton goods has continued at an un-
diminished rate. Only recently tremendous
development of the cotton textile industry has
taken place in the Far East. The cotton spindles
of the world have increased in number from 1884,
100000 in 1907 to ISL 100000 in 1917, gain of
more than 20 per cent for the last decade. Raw
materials, and more especially cotton, will be
paramount factor in the period of economic re-
construction which will probably follow close up
n the declaration of peace. Much will depend
upon stable cotton markets.
For years the United States has enjoyed ga
quasimonopolistic supremacy purveyor of
raw cotton: it is probable that this country will
continue the preponderant source of supply for
many years to come. But national self-suffi-
cheney is one of the outstanding doctrines devel-
oped by the war, and after the war every one of
the great consuming nations is going to make
itself Independent so far as it can, in the produc-
ton of it's raw NATURALIZATION notably among
them.
New York. New Orleans and Liverpool, the
three exchanges dealing in the largest amounts
of American cotton, are the best equipped and
most important, practically dominating the cot

severed his connections with the rail-
road. Mr.. Evans who served two terms
in the Legislature from Peneader Hun

between Mr.. Evans and some of the
railroad officials. He has not been on
duty for more than a month and w,
J.. Toppin has been acting agent.
Mr.. Evans, who has been with the
railroad company practically all his
