Copeland, School Supt....Houlton Frank B. Prescott, Surv Rainier H. R. Cuff, Coroner St. Helens BOTHER S LOVE. The case of Ernest Lane affords another Illustration of the strength of a mother's love. Lane appears to be one nf tha -lan known as perverts, who oerfer criminal life to un honest one, without regard to remuneration. He is but a boy, strong, well educated, and naturally intelligent. He could make a success in business, and need never to bs without employment at a good com pensatiou. His record as a student at the O. A. C. and at the reform school anDiars to have been a good one. At home, however, he was a bad, unruly ungrateful eon. His mother, prior to her second marriage, supported him by her work, bbe hired out by the day and took in washing in order to earn bis living, and her reward for this has been the common one of ingratitude Yet, now that young Laue is (ace t face with the penalty of his crime, the mother comes to his rescue, and the young desperado is to have the best counsel money ce.n hire to enable him . to evade the law, and, as far as possible, avoid the just penalty. She knows lie is guilty, but this iu no war abates her love. He is more dangerous than a wild beast, yet she desires to have him again tamed looe upon society. Had be committed murder it would bave made no difference in her conduct. II would still have been "hnr boy." Mother love U unreasoning, nncalculating, and the worth orworthlessnessoftheobjectnpon which it is squandered does not affect its intensity. It follows tha offspring from the cradle to the grave, and it may be beyond, and it inhabits the breast of saint and criminal alike. The woman of the slums shows it when she en deavors to raise her child in honesty and purity, and women in the better walks of life bave demonstrated innumer able times that nothing that an ingrate child can do will suffice to deprive hirn of mother's love. And how little return it receives, even from children who are considered good. The beat years of a woman's life are given to her children. For their sake She is deprived of ease and comfort. The daily round of monotonous drudgery is taken up for them, and her reward in unthinking selfishness. Gradually, a; youth developes into manhood, and the mother's hair becomes interspersed with gray, the time comes when htr labor should I light-ned ; but very oft n thi-y are increased. No amMU of pleading oi expostulittion appears to have any effect in inducing the self sufficii-ntyounistna to do those little things that go so far tovard lightening woman's work and miking norm happy. Regularity at meals, putting away book? and paper, keep ng rooms tidy, hanging up cl ithes, getting in wood an I kindling. The mother pleads, begs .wd scolds to B -rare these little things, lint nil in van, and not until it is too lute do the careless ones rec gnize all that she has been to them and the great loss they have sustained. This Is the usual reward of mothers' love, and it is bitter enough She will pr.ibably cons'der herself amply prepaid for the life she has sacrificed if the hoy developej into an upiilt in dustriom man. How much worse it is when, in addition to Ihs customary in gratitude Bin finds that she his rai-u d a human monster, whose I, and is aain-t all men and whom society will event' willy destroy. The irotlier cf Ernest Lane, in common wiih many oihi-r, i receiving this reward for her years of toll and self denial, and if this woil I it all there if, it would eeem lo bi "lov's labor lost." The Inurstate Comment Commission I Is to be congratulated on the first lights it has won in St, Paul for the enforce ment o( tha anti-rebate law. The of ficials have been notifle 1 of tha vk to y, though noncof then were lit court wul'e the suits were being (ought. Tho llrst of them was the f unions "Onmliu g ain case". Against the Chicago, St. IVtiit, Minneapolis and Omaha Un.'. The other was against the Great Northern. Both of them were rebate cases iu which a reba e of S per cent a bushel had been allowed on grain under the guum of elevator charges. The first fcuit was (ought desperately, and resulted In the inllictim of the minimum penalty of 11.000 a count on each of fllty counts a toinl of $50,000 against the road aiul a simil.tr aim mil a:alnst the guteral freight agent. Seeing the first fiht was wou, the Great Northern came into Ctuip and uiraitt'U gumy on man liiieen count likewise getting the mm mum penally. Notice of appejl vs given iu each cae on the ground that ill Elkins law, under which, me cjii victiott was secured, had been repealed by the passage of the new rate law. Tiiii appeal is a fightiug cuance, and the Interstate Commerce Commissioiiers dj not think it cau be made to stick, for they point out "that the rate law was uever intended to repeal the Elkins law, aod the court will not so Construe it II the penulties can be eulorced, it will do more thau anythiug else to break up the practice of rebating, and it is to be booed that the court of appeals will affirm the lower court.

SAND LIE BRICK A Factor; to Be Built at St. Helens. SILICA SAND UNLIMITED Can be Hade and Delivered In Twentj-Fonr Honrs. In this age of progressiveness, St. Helens has an opportunity u:h as is seldom offered to a locality unless favor ed by nature and circumstance, such as exist here. It behooves our merchants and capitalists to take advantage of this opportunity and aid in having a factory located here to manufacture sand lime brick. We have Portland and the sur rounding country for a market with enormous profits. The entire output can I disposed of as fast as manufactured. Factory can be run all the year regard less of weather conditions. The quality of the brick is always the same, and can be depended upon as being first class, and superior to any clay brick, either as common or face brick. FOUNDATION, SKWKRS AND WORK I'NDKR WATER These sand-lime bricks are not only a first class building material but can also be used for foundations, sewers and work under water. In fact they appear to im prove more rapidly when used in this class of work than in onlinary building work, although exposure to the atmos phere and weather always hardens the brick which improves with age wherever they are used. THR PRESSES On the type of presses furnished this plant, the Uhlhorn hydraulic system which is capable to tnrn out 30,000 brick in ten hours, the entire range of beautiful and artistic colorings can also be produc ed. No architect need hesitate to carry out his finest designs in this material. A VIRK RESISTING BRICK The regular sand-lime building brick, have shown some remarkable fire resist ing qualities, which make it practically certain that it is only a matter of short time when fire brick plants, using sand and lime as materials will be established. In fact, this has recently been done in Germany. In the most disastrous fire of modern times, the one following the earthquake at San Francisco, the sand lime brick in use thereat that time, stood far better than either the clay brick or building stone. AS AN INVESTMENT There is DO industrial enterprise which is so certain to pay large dividends to rtock-bolders as a sand-lime brick plant, such as is contemplated to be installed here. The demand is constant and in creasing. Portland alone will nse not less than thirty millions. Clay brick are ranging higher in price each succeed ing year, owing to good clay scarcity higher priced fuel, and higher priced labor. Sand-lime bricks are made by machin ery under the most improved styles with less labor, and a much better article at almost one half the cost to make clay brick, consequently the sand-lime brick will eventually have the entire field to i'self to furnish this beautiful buildin material. THK PLANT THE MACHINRRV COST The weight of the machinery intended for this plant to be installed at St. Helens will approximate one hnndred and forty tons and will cost, erected complete with all necessary buildings to run an I place orick on the market, 50,000. It will he the most up-to-date equipped plant in the United States. It will bave Uhlhoru's Hydraulic presses for making sand-lime brick, also two hardening cylinder, sixty eight feet in length, six feet in diameter, a double set of boilers, sand driers, screens, automatic mixers and sand and liuie grinding and lime slack ing devices, weighing machines, fifty transit cars and all other necessary auxilliary machinery to make it first class in every respect. Mr. Frank McFarland who represents the McFarland Investment Co of Portland is here with Mr.. Uhlhorn the mechanical engineer and infentor, to enlist our business people arid capitalists to take stock in th s most laudable and self sustaining enterprise. They are already receiving much encouragement and we will not be surprised to see that nearly half of the capital stock of the company will be owned and controlled by St. Hel ens where the factory will be located. The comp.iny will lie capitalized for 75,001, 75,000 sha-es at 1.00 each. TRANSPORTATION Both river and ri'l transportation facil ities can be had to distribute the product and output of this factory to supply the demands. Everybody who can afford to do so should not miss this opportunity, as it will not soon occur again.
