COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag,
and to the Republic for which it
stands, oue Nation indivisible, with
Liberty and Justice for All."
THE SPIRIT OF 'Ttl
There Is a rank due to the 1'nited
States among nations which will be
withheld. If not absolutely lost, by
the reputation of weakness. If we
desire to avoid Insult, we must be
able to repol it. If we desire to se
cure peace, one of the most powerful
instruments of our rising prosperity,
it must be known that we are, ut all
times, ready for war. Maxims of
Washington as arranged by John F.
Schroeder, D. D.
If Washington could see our sol
diers In France, ready and waiting
for the opportunity to strike for the
preservation of democracy; our navy
in, English waters protecting and up
holding the rights of the seas, he
would be convinced that the spirit of
'76 has been handed down from gen
eration to generation unit that it is
the spirit of 1917.
Appreciation and thanks of the
Mist's efforts to give publicity to the
war census is contained in the follow
ing letter from Adjutunt General
White. The fact that the registra
tion in all sections of the country was
carried out with promptness and
without confusion was undoubtedly
because of the wide publicity given
by the press of the country, and the
alms and Justice of the census was
fully understood, so no person with
in the designated ages could plead
Ignorance. General White writes as
follows:
To the Editor of the St. Helens Mist,
St. Helens, Ore.
Dear Sir: I am writing to convey
to you the thanks of Governor Withy
combe, and of myself, for the co
operation of the St. Helens Mist in
the preliminary campaign of educa
tion undertaken by this office to in
form the people about war census re
quirements. Publication in your is
sue of May 25, under double column
heading, "Important Facts to Re
member About the War Census," has
been noted and Is especially appreci
ated. Very truly yours.
GEORGE A. WHITE.
Adjutant General.
The county court of Jackson coun
ty has asked the state highway com
mission for $12,000 to help build a
road to the Blue Ledge mines. Per
haps the commission will grant the
request of the county officials. It
might be a good Idea for the county
court of Columbia county to ask the
commission for some funds to aid
iu tho construction of the St. Helens-

R. CONSTANTIN
St. Helens,
A. T. KIEL AN
GENERAL
MERCHANDISE
West St. Helens (Houlton)
Pittsburg highway. There can he u
harm In nsklug and the good boot
says "ask and ye shall receive." Other
counties have been asking and get
ting, but thus far Columbia lias
neither asked or received. When the
water Is running into the trough ami
it is lull, is the best time to begin
to dip. With representatives from
'every county almost daily on the job
and the highway commission grunt
I lug niuny requests, we are afraid that
I if Columbia county does not wake
up that when they do get to the walei
trough they will find it empty.
The activities of the I. W. W. are
giving the Mule and government au
thorities much trouble. According
to Information received at the gov
ernor's office ni Salem, an army or
the "1 won't work" fellows will soon
Invade Oregon. In times of peace u
tolerant public will endure much
from this element, who have no re
sped for and are contemptuous of
the government, but at this time,
when the nation Is at war, their ac
tions will not he condoned. As yet
the vanguard of this rrmy has not
reached St. Helens, and it is to be
hoped that for the good of the town
that they will pass us by, as it is a
difficult matter to deal with those
who are hostHe to all employers and
employes and have a contempt for
the law and a hatred of the govern
ment. The Southern Pacific Company Is
j building a new depot at Salem; the
j little town of Gardiner is to have a
new passenger station. The South
i eru Pacific Company has furnished a
' modern depot at Reedsburg, and the
Spokcne, Portland & Saa'.tle Com
i puny has a 2x4 red shack about the
i size of a box car which they use for
their St. Helens depot.
The meeting of the btate highway
commission with the citizens of St.
Helens ended Just about where it
started. The commissioners, before
the meeting, had driven over the
present used road and had Investi
gated tho feasibility of the old route.
We bellevo the commissioners are
fair minded men and will do what
they think Is the best for the Inter
ests of the state, the county and the
city of St. Helens, and we will gladly
leave the decision entirely in their
hands.
: Even if the paved highway should
go through West St. Helens, the city
council does not intend that every
! autolst should p:ss through the cit
at a oO-miles per hour clip, and they
' are not counting on any speed ordi
nance to keep the autoist from
: through in that way. Instead, they
will offer inducements for the trav
eler to stop within the city and par
take of the city's hospitality. With
this end in view, the council will
clean up the park, lnstr.ll conveni
ences for the traveler, make of the
park a free camping end amusement
grounds and thus encourage the tired
tourist to stop. Those who leave
1 Portland for a spin to Seasido or
Astoria, have as their objective point
those places and are not going to stop
here anyhow, unless it be for more
gaiioline or repairs. It is the leisure
ly motorist wo should desire, and to
that class the hospitality of the city
will bo offered. Let's make the town
attractive to the stranger and we will
be the gainers no matter on which
side of the railroad track the high
way is located.
