COUNTY OFFICIAL TAPF-ll.
A XF.UntllOKLY SI'IIUT.
The project of holding a Market or Trades Pay or
a general get-together and get-acquainted occasion,
which the Commercial Club has under consideration
and are planning to inaugurate, is a capital Idea. It
is just the kind of plan that will be the means of ere
at In g a more neighborly spirit among the people of
Columbia county.
As has been repeatedly stilted in these columns,
such occasions have proven a great success in other
places, and were instrumental iu bringing the people
to know each other better, and to know one's neigh
bor at close range is to find him an entirely different
personage than when afar 6ff. It creates a desire to
work together for the general good of the community.
The feeling of mutual dependency, of general good ,
fellowship, are certain to be the results.
When the people of this county, let them live in
whatever section they may, learn they are truly de
pendent on each other, and that the more they asso
ciate together and the better they become acquainted,
the longer the stride they will be able to take together
in the progress of every line that is of public benefit.
Then will such a day be a success and the real good
of such an occasion achieved.
But those who have this object in view and im
bued with this spirit, cannot do the work alone and
the efforts they shall put forth will not assure the
success of such an event, without the people of St.
Helens and Columbia county do their part. Their
whole-heartedness in the matter will really count for
much.
It should be said of the people of St. Helens after
the first event, when the day is over, when the people
have returned to their 'respective firesides far and
near, that they spent one of the best days of the
year. That is the way they should feel and with such
a feeling, a resolve would be made never to miss an
other occasion.
The business man of St. Helens should be vitally
interested in such a movement. It would be hard to
reckon in dollars and cents the good that would come
to them from such days.
Everybody should Join the movement, get behind
it with the determination to win and there would be
no need for regrets, and all would be glad they were
able to lend their aid in the undertaking. ,
It might be suggested along with the market or
trading feature of the day when the farmers bring
their "swapping stock," that the merchants, each and
every one, make some inducement to the people to get
them into their places of business on that day, to get
acquainted with them. Let one merchant offer a given
amount of his wares for a stipulated price, and so on
with each one, but let no two duplicate a bargain on
the same article. These bargains should be advertised
in some manner In sufficient time to allow then: to get
before the people over the county, and it will be an
eye-opener the amount of business resulting from such
a plan.
Also, a feature that has proven of great success,
that of providing different kinds of amusements.
Nothing creates a better feeling among our country
friends than on such a day, they be entertained in
some manner at the expense of the hostess. It is dol
lars in the business man's till to do so. Many places
inaugurate such amusements as an aeroplane flight,
a balloon ascension, or a merry go-round, or prizes
for winners of minor sports and events and many other
features absolutely without cost to the visitors. A
good plan is to change the program from month to
month and induce the fruit grower, gardener, farmer
and dairyman to bring in their displays of products
by offering them prizes.
This plan in brief tends to do away with the same
continual program of the usual market day and instills
more interest into those who attend to come again.
CAN I'KEKIDKNT HKCLAKK CAJtKO?
There Is much discussion of the propriety of Pres
ident Wilson being able to declare a cargo on muni
tions of war to foreign nations. The fact seems to be
set forth in a letter from W. J. Bryan, as Secretary of
State, to Senator Stone of Missouri, chairman of the
senate committee on foreign relations, the letter dated
January 20, 1915, and reads as follows:
"There is no power in the executive to prevent the
sale of ammunition to the belligerents.
"The duty of a neutral to restrict trade in muni
tions of war has never been imposed by International
law or municipal statute.
"It has never been the policy of this government
to prevent the shipment of arms and ammunition into
belligerent territory except in the case of neighboring
American republics, and then only when civil strife
prevailed.
"Even to this extent the belligerents In the present
conflict when they were neutrals have never, so far as
the records disclose, limited the sale of munitions of
war.
"It is only necessary to point to the enormous
quantities of arms and ammunition furnished by the
manufacturers in Germany to the belligerents in the
Russo-Japanese war and in the recent Balkan wars
Jo establish the general recognition of the propriety
of the trade by a neutral nation.
"It may be added that on December 14 last the
German ambassador, by direction of his government,
presented a copy of a memorandum of the imperial
German government which among other things set
forth the attitude of that government toward traffic
In contraband of war by neutral countries.
"The Imperial government stated that 'under the
general principles of International law no exception
can be taken to neutral states letting war material go
to Germany's enemies from or through neutral terri
tory,' and that the adversaries of Germany In the
present war are, In the opinion of the imperial gov
ernment, authorized to 'draw on the United States
contraband of war and especially of arms worth bil
lions of marks.' These principles, as the ambassador
stated, have been accepted by the United States gov
ernment In the statement issued by the department
of state on October 15 last, entitled 'Neutrality and
the Trade In Contraband.'
"Acting iu conformity with the propositions there
set forth, the Tutted States has Itself taken no part
in contraband traffic, and has, so far as possible, lent
its influence toward equal treatment for all belliger
ents in the matter of purchasing arms and ammuni
tion of private persons in the United States."
AMHITIOX.
Ambition's shining sun sends to youth a multitude
of rays that filter into the soul wondrous dreams.
I-ove-lIt eyts of mulds but increases the warmth of
that sun.
So, In the dreams of youth, great castles are oulld
ed on high hills. They are castles of stone, and they
are furnished in splendor royal.
They come iu the peach-bloom of life, and they are
sceuted with apple blossoms. They are of the days of
the valedictorian. They are part of the days of June.
Their fulfillment conies in the vine-clad cottage in
the valley. The years of life's battles crumble the
walls of the castle oh the hill. The echoing years bring
an encircling band that clasps happiness, and within
the circle the pruttle of little children is heard. ,
But look you upon the castle high, and look you
upon the valley cottage. Would you dwell within the
castle or would you live within the cottage?
Would you have ambition's dreams come true, or
would you linger in the light of love amid sweet
laughter?
Ambition realization both sweet, one not more
than the other one a dream, the other hard life.

DKMAUOUY DOWNS THK FLAG.
The following .'tern shows how Senator La Kollette's
demagogic seaman's law is driving American ships
uuder foreign Hags:
"The steamer M. S. Iollar of the Hubert Dollar
Company, sold to Birkall & Co. of Shanghai, is well
known at Tacoma, and has loaded here frequently.
The Dollar company has also sold the Mackiuuw. an
other vessel that has plied out of Tucoma to San Fran
cisco a number of years iu the coal trade. The reason
given by Robert Dollar for the sale of the vessels, Is
the seaman's law, which goes into effect iu November.
The captain declared some time ego he would again
take his vessel from American registry and placo them
under the British flag. The sale of this vessel now
leaves the Minnesota the only vessel plying In tho
Oriental trade flying the American flag. The Pacific
Mail has announced that they will withdraw their ves
sels from the service."
VSK THK Mil) HOOKS.
Mr. Merchant, are you aware that what is right
fully yours is slipping from your grasp, slowly but
surely? It Is high time to use the mud chains; you
are slipping. Somebody else Is getting your trade.
Meet the existing conditions squarely; they can he
overcome, but not without some effort.
Have you all the trade you care for? Are you sell
ing all the goods that you want to? If so, you are
fortunate. ,
It behooves the merchant and business man of St.
Helens to look about him, If you please, ard stu ly
trade conditions more closely. With better highways
throughout the country, and with Inducements which
are daily being brought to bear by other place.) to get
your trade, it must mean a loss to each and every In
dividual in the city unless proper inducements are
placed before those whom are In our rightful trade
territory to St. Helens and whose business belongs
here. Trade extension is a movement that is receiv
ing much consideration, and with good effect, by cities
close by, and it is most important that the merchant
of St. Helens face the fact that unless a change is
brought about. Rainier and Portland will reap a har
vest that has been sown for St. Helens.
The Commercial Club has a movement on foot
that is a good remedy for this evil. But they caunot
perfect a cure without your assistance.
Suggestions of the contents of Germany's reply to
the United States' last notes informally transmitted
to Washington, are said to be of a very unsatisfactory
nature, and the critical features of the situation have
In no wise been abated. This Is unfortunate, for the
people of the United States want no trouble with the
German people, even though they are prepared to go
any length In defense of American rights. President
Wilson is deeply engrossed in considering the attitude
of Germany in the matter of the Lusltanla note, and
it appears that the German government Is adhering
to the policy of consuming Just as much time as possible.
A dispatch from Washington to the Baltimore
Sun, declares that an early movement in the Mexican
situation Is Imminent. It is said Mexico will prob
ably be entered both at Vera Cruz and from the bor
der, unless there Is an Immediate adjustment of the
revolutionary troubles in that country. It is said
opposition from all Mexican factions Is expected.
The Navajo Indians, whose reservation is in north
eastern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico, sold
$400,000 worth of blankets of their own manufacture
last year. They own 1,429,821 Bheep, valued at $2,
924,960, and 318,956 additional, worth 1497,910.
The wool clipped from these sheep was worth last
year more than $460,000.
The farmer will have a poor farm If he does not
have a good home market. It Is a good rule that works
both ways. When the farmer helps the home merch
ant and the home merchant helps the farmer. The
merchant can't build up the home market alone. He
must have the support of the farmer. He must study
trade conditions. Exchange.
The successful man now Is a builder; he Is always
and forever widening, reaching out. Improving on
present conditions, and It Is all in the human service
of human betterment.
My character may be my own, but my reputation
belongs to any old body that enjoys gossiping more
than telling the truth. Lord Byron.

them very much.
