RESPECTED HOME OF MORGAN PEERING INTO THE FUTURE There is featured In this Issue of The Journal an article dealing with the possible coming ot a sawmill to Prineville. This is really more than a possibility It is a sure thing that in the near future a sawmill must be built here to market the tine body of timber lying at our doors. There Is nothing definite in the immediate prospects, however. The fact that the men who are at the head ot the Dill and timber proposition are here on the ground and Carrying on ex haustive Investigations, means that there is a serious consideration ot beginning this work in the near fu ture. There are so many things to be considered that the promotors can not give out any definite word so ear ly in the day. It will be to the advantage of ev ery citizen of Prineville and Crook county to aid the coming of this in stitution In every way possible. There is the opening wedge for the growth and development ot this section of Central Oregon in the coming ot this sawmill with its large payroll and heavy shipments of lumber over our railroad. There is the advantage of the added purchasing power tor the merchants. And in this connection it can be truthfully said that as the citixens act in their reception of this enterprise if it comes to us, will be determined the chances of more pay rolls coming to Prineville.. There is an excellent prospect of a sugar re finery for our town and county in the near future. We have the soil to produce the beets and the quality is exceptionally high. It is time for all of us to begin to consider the future. We must think In terms of hearty cooperation. We must sacrifice, if necessary at the present, to build for the future. Let us once get a large payroll establish ed here and others will follow. The box factories, and other kindred by product manufactories of the lumber Industry are bound to come if con ditions are favorable. The matter will rest with those who have an op portunity to help or hinder tfie com ing of these institutions. Each one must put aside the idea of making a "killing" off the promotors for build Irg sites, rights of way, etc. The fu ture holds a promise of much pros perity if we can get these things lo cated in our midst. The country over is covered with cities and towns that are at a dead standstill and have been for years because of the fact that the citizens would not allow any concern to come into the town with out paying an excessive tribute. Prineville has shown her civic met tle in the past and there is not a doubt but that she will come to the front with all the help that any of tnese industries will need. We are waiting the decision of those in com r..und of the resources and we are fi xious that they start soon. With the timber, the coal, the gold in the mountains adjacent, the riches In the lands under the Ochoco Project, and the grazing lands all about us, we can reasonably expect some won derful changes in the next few years. Let us be ready to help these changes come to us by cooperative effort to ward the common good. Although his crop is comparatively short, J. U. Nunamaker, owner of the valley's largest cherry orchard, ap proximately four acres, will receive his record returns this year. With re turns on black varieties not yet In Mr. N'unamaker can figure on more than $5,000 for bis crop. It is likely that the total receipts will reach $7,000. The total yield of all varieties on the Nunamaker place reached 43 tons. Pickers were paid $1,920.60 for har vesting the crop. Hood River Glacier. T. J. Mahoney has been elected vice president and manager of the Colunv hla Hnsln Wool Warehouse Company succeeding the late E. W. Rumble, ef fective September 1, Mr. Mahoney has a host of friends and acquaintanc es In Joseph and Eastern Oregon. He came to this part of the State eight I eon years ago trom North Dakota. Ills first business venture waa at lone where he was cashier of the Hank of lone, later holding a similar position with the first Nafional Bank at Heppner. When the Columbia Basin Wool Warehouse Company lost Its able leader, E. W. Humble, Mr. Ma honey was the only available man to succeed him.

After being Jolted over 140 miles nf country roads, a load of nitrate crystals taken from the dry bed ot Stinking Lake. In Harney county, and being brought to Bend by Guy H. Wilson on his truck tor the Oregon Nitrate Co., Ignited spontaneously Monday afternoon Just as the truck was entering Bend. "You're on fire," came a cry trom the side of the street as the big motor truck passed, and turning. Mr. Wilson saw a dense smoke arising from the sacked nitrates. To find out the ori gin of the fire, he started to lift otf the top sacks but a mass ot flame shot up as the air supply was increased by Bruee H.

The Pioneer bespeaks good business in this county for the Northern Grain Company under the regime of Mr. Grady and Mr. Billups. as both are young, energetic business men, who are well liked and have the confi jdence of the producers here. Madras I Pioneer. THE SALVATION ARMY 1RIVE The Elks Lodge has reported on the success of their drive for the Sal vation Army in Crook county. Old Crook was first over the top in this worthy effort, having greatly over subscribed her quota on the first day. One is moved by the ease with -which money was raised for this most worthy organization to wonder why it was necessary for such a cataclysm as the world war to open our eyes to the good work of this Army. For many years these men and women have been carrying-on their good work without any recognition to speak of. The average man's knowl edge of the Salvation Army has been limited to what he has seen in the War Cry, which he frequently bought and seldom read, and the street dem onstrations in the cities. Why was it necessary to go througn the fires of the hell in Europe to learn that this body of Christian-living people was carrying the teachings of Christ into the lives of the downtrodden and hungry people over the United States. It is quite sure that if the good deeds of the Salvation Army were summed up for the years it has been minister ing to humanity, that the efforts put forth in the world war, great though Delicate Mechanism Despite its scope Swift & Company is a business of in finite details, requiring infinite attention. - Experienced men must know livestock buying with a knowl edge of weight, price, the amount and quality of meat the live animals, will yield. Each manufacturing operation must be done with expert skill and scientific precision. A highly perishable product must be handled with speed and care to avoid loss. Chemists, engineers, accountants, and other specialists are required to take care of our intricate problems. Alert wisdom and judgment must be used in getting stocks of goods into the open channels of demand through our four hundred branch houses. Branch house organizations must show activity and energy to sell at the market in the face of acute competi tion from other large packers, and hundreds of small ones. All these requirements of intelligence, loyalty, devotion to the task, are met in the personnel of Swift & Company. Yet the profit is only a fraction of a cent per pound with costs at minimum. How can the workings of this deli cate human mechanism be improved upon? Do you believe that Government direction would add to our efficiency or improve the service rendered the producer and consumer? Let us send you Swift "Dollar". It will interest you.

If the benrd has any standing In the world today, It Is undoubtedly be. cause of the Jews, who held their whiskers to he sacred, and swore by them. Later, the Turks did the same. The sultan's followers used to comb their whiskers after prayers, catch the hairs that came out, break them In two and htiry tlietn, on the theory that In aoine mysterious way the hairs helped to make soft walking to the gateg of paradise. This the Turke firmly believed. And they were great ly Knocked when. In 1512, Sellin I came to the throne without a beard.

The miller at the old windmill of a village In Buckinghamshire one year found auch difficulty In getting hla sails to work through want of wind that he was continually behind with hla work. The delay annoyed the farmers, who decided to call a meet ing to consider the advisability of get ting tip another windmill. Uninvited, the miller also attended the meeting, and In the midst of the discussion rose and said : "Ye want to get up another windmill, do ye? Well, It takes all the wind In the parish to keep my old mill agoln, so you'll have to fish else where for yet wind, Hint's snrtln!" This novel argument gave matters the turn, and to this day the miller has had no opposition. San Francisco Argonaut. Creating a Demand.
