OODNTT OFFICIAL PAPER
CHAMBI OP COMMIHCI
WHAT DOES COIiOXEL HOFEIt
ADVISE?
The following article appeared in
The Manuafcturer, a periodical pub-i
Halted by one Colonel (?) Hofer and
sponsored by certain parties.
Lumbering Has Good Outlook . .
According to one reputable
authority the nation is 46 per '
cent underbuilt.
The same authority believes
that the prices of materials will
' rule at present levels for 1919.
It also estimates total con
struction for 1919 at 40 to 60
per cent of normal with lumber,
as cheapest building material.
Our country is liable to lose
six million alien laborers of
whom 1,600,000 have gone or
are going this year.
This kind of labor is leaving
New York at the rate of 1000
a week, and the supply of labor
for Industries Is scarce.
Lumber yards in New York
and many eastern cities have
less than-one-thtrd of a normal
supply, and demand is increas
ing. The Mist respectfully asks Colonel
Hofer if he wishes to import more
alien labor. It also wishes to ask the
iColonel if he prefers American citi
zens and returned soldiers to those
"alien laborers" who are leaving New
York for their native country, now
that the war is over. The - Mist
would remind Colonel Hofer that if
''six million alien laborers" are go
ing to leave the U. S. this year, that
the country will suffer no real loss, I
tor II there was a real American citi
xen among these six million, he
would have left Ions ago, not for the
purpose of a visit, or out of curiosity,
but to fight for the country which
was giving him protection, or to re
spond to the call of his native coun
try. The Mist would respectfully sug
gest to the editor of The Manufac
turer that he join that six million
laborers and journey to Europe. It ib
possible that he might do better
there and that his influence might
be spread over a country which, is
.not America.
The Mist would also respectfully
suggest to the Colonel that he might
inu in line with other patriotic
American citizens and aid in secur
ing employment for the returned sol
diers and sailors, and it is thought
that if a job is obtained for every sol
dier, there will be no scarcity of
labor.
NEIGHBORS
The Chamber of Commerce picnic
to ths Nehalem Villey and Vernonla
last Sunday estibllahed a closer re
lationship between the jeoplo of the
Nehalem and the people e? St. Helent..
The opening of tire road, or poss'bly
we might better say making the road
passable, has mado it possible for the
people of the Nehilem and the peo
ple of St. Helens to bo neighbors and
good neighbors are good friends.
The Mist hopes th.it the county court
and the rosidents of St. Helens and
the Nehalem will unite in one big
effort to get this necessary road com
pleted, so that our Nehalem friends
may visit us and that St'. Helens peo--ple
and all others in Columbia coun
ty who wish to visit their friends in
the "garden spot" of Columbia coun
ty, may make the trip without
thought of Inconvenience or danger.
The Chamber of Commerce picnic
was the big wedge which will event
ually split the big log, and by this,
we mean that the people who went
over to Nehalem realize the neces
, stty of the completion of the St Hel
' ens-Plttsburg road and will work
to accomplish such.V
A FALSE ALARM
The present fire alarm system, if
it would be permissible to insult any
real alarm system by designating the
St. Helens system as a fire alarm
system, is a dismal failure. If an
alarm comes in, the man at the mill,
the operator at the telephone switch
board, the few survivors of the fire
department, have to guess as to
where the fire is. Much time is lost
and there is unnecessary delay which
is expensive. Mayor Saxon and the
council should lose no time in pro-
Cooling Items
Hot Weather
Lunches
Salads
Sandwiches
Cold Meats
Confections
MASONS
ST. HELENS, OREGON '
It Is a duty which should be done at '
once. Delay might cause a big loss ,
and Jeopardise the whole town. The
Mist would respectfully suggest to
Mayor Saxon that he take some ac-j
tlon. The mayor has the power to
tcke action if he desires to so do.
- SHOULD 11K KEPT OPEN
The road from St. Helens to Pitts
burg is now open and should be kept
open. The Mist realizes that It is i
not a good "wintertime road but
with a little labor and -attention, it j
can be maintained as a fairly.' good,
summertime road. The county fair,
will be held the middle of next'
month. There are many farmers in '
the Nehalem who have fine agricul-j
tural exhtbts which should be '
brought to the fair. Last year, many '
came from the valley to attend the
fair. This year, there should be
more. In order to encourage our,
neighbors from over there to come to
the fair, the St. Helens-Plttsburg
road should be kept in a passable
condition. .
ARE YOU CARKIJJSS?
It is well kncwn that we r.re the
most wasteful peoplo In the world A
large pr.rt of our waste Is that due
to fire most of which can be pre
vented. It you are Interested, clip from the
newspapers for one month, the ac
counts of such fires- which como to
your notice and you will be surpris
ed how many you have. It will make
you stop nd think whether you are
one of the careless ones. Almost
everybody to this country Is careless.
That Is the. principal reason why we
have so many fires. Fire prevention
will be effective when every one of
us realizes his or her personal re
sponsibility for a fire loss.
1 It would be a wise thing for the
Water Board to consider having
more water pressure in the St. Hel
ens" mains. It Is hard to fight a fire
when the water cannot reach the sec
ond story of a small building.
It is a question as to whether It
would have been the best from the
city's standpoint to have the mayor
resign or the firo department resign. 1
The latter did accomplish something. J
Have you been down to Columbia'
Beach? It not, go down and jump In !
The water is fine and the accomo
dations are now excellent. I
,
Looks as though Taft was going
to be the real big light at the next
Republican convention. .
PAY FINES FOR
, LEAVING FIRES
D. L. and G. R. French, of Grass
Valley, Oregon, plead guilty to a
charge of leaving their campfire un
extinguished on the Oregon Nation
al Forest, in the Federal Court at
Portland, July 22 and were fined 125
each.
The fire, which was beside the
Bnrlnw Rnnri hot Kuan (SiimmM lTAaA
WI.U.U..b
land Government Camp, was disco?-
ered by Ranger Stanley C. Walters,
i of Zizzag, who put it out before it
did any damage. He arrested the
men and brought them to Portland.
In imposing the fine Federal
Judge Wolverton said that the law
requires that fires be extinguished,
and does not leave it to private citi
zens to say whether or not a fire will
do damage if left.
