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.
It would seem that the ti in j in iy
come whin the fu Aliment of lh; old
adage "prids iroeth bidoie a fall" will

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. When you
are helping along this enterprise you are
helping yourself to a goo 1 piying busi
ness proposition; also advancing the in
terest! of St. Hi lens.
