OREGON. FRIDAY. APRIL 19, 19?9. WHEN A MISTAKE IS COSTLY npll!-; mistakes that most men make in the course of their 1 daily work are things that can be remedied in a short time. litit there are a few businesses in which a mistake is apt to In' frightfully expensive; and the business of building bridges is one of them. A tfijfiintie suspension 'bridge is being built across the IV. ")it river. ' The cables had been swung and about a third of the floor hail been laid. Then it was discovered that the wires that made up the great cables were somehow defec tive. Someone manufacturer, engineer or contractor, we don't know who had made a little mistake. And there was nothing to do but take them down and start over. That is costing the erectors just $1,500,000. There are some trades in which mistakes are pretty costly. o " BUILT BY TIIK RIVER It has been a long time since the government has had any unoccupied public land as far cast as the Mississippi river. The other day, however, the general land office an nounced that it had thrown open to homesteaders tracts of land in Louisiana and Mississippi and that it was ready to receive claims for them. This land, it should b eexplained, did not exist when the great rush for homesteaders' land was on years ago. The Mississippi river has built it. Rich, black loam, car ried down the river by scores of tons, has been deposited in what may be made good farm laud. The Mississippi brings floods and devastation, occa sionally. But, less spectacularly, it is also engaged in con structive work. This new land, now about to be made pro ductive, is an example. o In Portland, service stations are selling gasoline var iously at 1(, 161, 17, 18 and 1!) cents a gallon. It is ruinous competition, but the station men seem unable to get together on a fair price and then slick to it. Just what part the oil companies are playing in the present phases of the cut price ware does not appear, but it was over-production that started it. Now nobody seems to know how to stop it. The public, meanwhile, reaps a transitory profit. It is a situa tion that cannot last. OUT OUR WAY By Williams i f i. nu J-r rjjvf 1 nr c.p .137 " fc I lf- - irsa : m MWWvatn . rJ.

And that is true, not because we have no fine weather in spring, but because we are too much prone to look for continuous fine weather at this season. Intermittent rains and cold are normal for spring, but our natural longings for steady relief l'pom the conditions of the long winter make us fretful of normalcy. POEM FOR THE DAY By LOUIS ALBERT HANKS A ri'iuliT asks; Whiil ia a four flusher? A fourfliiHlicr, in common par lance, 1h a bluffer, a braggart or cheat. The term originated in the popular American diversion known an poker. In poker a flusli consists of five cards of one mill. If a play er lioldH four enrds of one suit and one card of another suit he lias a four flush, kIho called a bobtail flush. Sometimes a player with a four flusli pretends to have a full flush and attempts to drive out an opponent hy betting heavy. This practice Is perfectly lfnltitnate In poker, but such a play Is known as four, lush I tiK- If tie succeeds, the other players never know what cards lie held; If he Is cstlled ,he must show his curds and hifl bluff is exposed. -- "How many miles can you ko on a gallon of hh?" "It depends," answered Mr. Crug fc'ins, "on l bo I ru f tic cup." "To avoid trouble and insure safely, breathe ibtounb your nose," stales a doctor. Yea, it keeps the mouth shut. A WORKED OUT VEIN The Associated Press lias tin's dispatch from Denver: "Who wants n railroad? The Colorado & Southern rail road is ea'cr to make a ift of a $3, 000, 01)0 branch line, with mtfficient rolling stock for adequate operation, to any person or persons who will take it and run it, ; " The I 75 -mile line runs from Denver to the old boom-day mining town of Leadville, which nestles some 10.000 feet above sea level in the heart of the Rockies. The Oregon Journal comments on it as follows: "A full half billion dollars in precious metals was dug out of the mountain sides about Leadville in those wild days of the 0s and 'oOs. It was there that the Cuggenheims, the Letters, the Tabors and others dug out their fortunes and then went away and left the old town high and dry. ' "And while miners here and there still dig out a modicum of metal, the Leadville Chamber of Commerce, as the town's greatest asset and chief lure, advertises its mountain beauty and its scenic charm." I saw this wondiotis mining town While it still wore its golden ciown; With wealth in millions, wild, galore To be "exhausted nevermore". So boasted Leadville in her pride, Lxultmg in her reckless stride. I otlay her mines have dwindled out. And only nature's left to shout. How like some men this mining shell Which has such wondrous tales to tell! It had its sioie of virgin gold Which God had given men to hold; They simply do;.; what Cud had given, Lxhausting His tree gilt from heaven; And when that virgin vein was gone, They'd nothing h tt to carry on. How many men with genrtous brain Neglect their faculties lo liain! 1 hey revel in their native fotce; When that is spent they've no lesoutce. Hoth towns and men are much the same; They should with wisdom play the game, Should on the future cast then eyes. And for its needs lay in supplies. In vain arc all the gifts of God Unless we till our native sod. So use the capital in hand To build a future that will stand. So use God's gift of natural wealth Io gunianter continued health; Thus count God's gift as but the seed Which will our future harvests breed. Many a man who refused to take "No" for an answer is writing checks fur alimony. When women no around expos ing their legs In zero weather, there should at least he some law covering the subject. Fruit cocktails are delicious and ood to serve EVERY time you serve a fruit cocktail, you bring enjoyment and health to your table. Every time you cut up, say a grapefruit, some pineapple, an orange, a banana sprinkle it all with powdered or confectioner's sugar, and let it stand a little yon make that cocktail so delicious that it can mean even more to health. The sugar dissolves and blends the flavors of the fruits. It is this blending power of sugar that families rely on so much. Sugar adds to the enjoyment of combinations of the health-foods. Then a sprinkling of sugar accents the flavor of a single health-food . . . accents the flavor of strawberries, for example . . . sharpens up the flavor of peas when they cook. Two fruits, two vegetables, are the daily rule. Use these two powers of sugar to give zest to their flavors to make them more inviting. The best cooks are generous with sugar. The Sugar Institute.
