ROSEB'URG-NEWSeVlEW, aTjCUST'2V'',22. ' L . - . - - -. - - - -J POLITICAL PRIVILEGES. It is customary at about this period to issue solemn preach ments to tiie people about performing their political duties. The public is reminded that an obligation rests on every citizen to at tend all primaries and elections, to inform himself through news paper reading what the politicians and governments are doing. But lectures are voted dull and tedious, and many persons can not be induced to perform duties of any kind by admonitions. The moment people feel, however, that they have a personal interest in doing a thing, it is amazing how their sense of obligation is in creased. Some organizations wearied by the irregularity of boards of directors or other representatives, have tried the experiment of paying these officers some quite small amount for attendance. They are likely to find that when people are financially rewarded for performing a certain task even to a small extent, their zeal and attention is remarkably increased. If a man has money in vested in a business concern, and can sway the proceedings of that concern by his vote, you do not have to urge him to be pres ent at its consultations. The people of Oregon are partners in the business of operating state, local and federal governments. If they attend to their jobs as partners, these organizations will be efficient and prosperous. Otherwise they will be incompetent and costly. Attention to political functions, then, is not merely a duty, but one is singularly lacking in intelligent self interest if he fails to attend to them. It does not require much time or care to take an intelligent part in this political life. One can at least read the newspapers thoroughly, everyone can take the few minutes of time it costs to vote. Even a small group of people who read, think, study and act on political questions can make themselves a force. o Instances are frequently reported of people who make large sums of money by buying unimproved land in the outskirts of fast growing cities. It seems a most alluring way to gain riches. The land grows more valuable while the owner sleeps, and he has to do nothing save possibly to mow the weeds. But the great number of people who have lost on this form of investment, shows how difficult it is to forecast the movements of population. The tract that seems likely to sell as a high class suburb, may be spoil ed by careless development. Cities that seem on the way to great advancement, may be hit by failure of industry and enterprise. As a general rule riches have to be won by some form of service to the people, and idle land renders little service. If people who own such property will erect attractive houses on it, they will get the real value of their holdings which in the majority of cases is more profitable than a long wait for population growth. o The farmers will not feel they will get rich out of the crops of 1922, Avhich will come close to bumper production. They may say they would gain more out of a short crop at high prices. But no one class can prosper unless the whole country is well off. Big crops mean an abundant supply of food at fair rates. Reason able food prices make possible production at moderate figures, which enables factory stuff to sell freely. The result will be to keep a steady stream of orders flowing to the nulls, and a bal anced even current of industry. The abundant yield of our superb farms will go far to oILset the losses caused by European hard times and our own unfortunate industrial conflicts. o With the third political party in the field the fall election will probably be as badly mixed as the recent primary election. Early predictions are that 1922 is going to be an oil' year in poli tics badly off. flbumc Urchin's CY BERT G.

Among the ancient "geiiRn" or ta boos in Scotland none was of greater interest than the "gens" which pro hibited the eating of pork. Thousands of the highbinders refused either to keep pigs or to eat pork in any form. They despised pork ns keenly as did the Hindus, the Jews and the modern Greeks of northern Arcadia. The pig was often associated with the detil, observes the Detroit News. Fishermen refused to put to sen If, when walking toward their boats, they met a pig or a hare. One of the names which the Gaelic speaking people of Scotland had for the devil was "tho black : pig."! When the devil appeured' In human form lie bnd usually a horse's hoof, but also sometimes a pig's foot. He was in the habit of visiting young peo ple who played cards, which were, notoriously, the "devil's books." Although the pig was generally as sociated with the devil there wus highland evidence that It might ns a supernatural being be, like the fairies, of assistance to mankind. It could assume a bird form. The devll-olg mid the god-pig were met with on the sculptured stones of Scotland. Logging in Western Hills. In the West logging ramps are mostly situated in the hills and the heavy loads of logs have to be hauled out, uhrays downhill. Often that helps to make the hauling easy, hut sometimes the grades nre so steep that it makes It too easy so easy that it entails dillieulty. Indeed, in these Instances the term hauling Is a mis nomer, for Hint Implies pulling the lend, nnd the operation actually con sists In pushing against the load In stead of pulling it. Two and a half miles of specially constructed track Is used at one Western logging camp for trnnsjiortlng heavy loads on n large motortruck down a very steep grade. The truck, described In Popu lar Mechanics, is six-wheeled, and lias powerful brakes on Its four rear wheels. These brakes nre controlled exclusively by one man, while another takes cure of the driving and steering. who a,, that to results, Veliin.ei Illiuli rs lllore :i many s of obtiil Tin- Kniglits of Pvthi.is lol'e ball Is b. in furnished and decorated ti d v. iu i'iei:n-,itii.n nor t li" l ig o re. mi.in.il lo h-, tomorrow evening, marking the dedication or the tn-w hull for the us.' of the order.
