No Sympathy
A broken auto, or an auto stuck
in the mud on a country road, ex
cites less human sympathy from
passers-by than almost any other
misfortune that could happen to
a person. Why this is so, is not
apparent, but true, neverthe
less. An instance of this kind
came under the observation of
the writer a few days ago while
riding in a loaded passenger car
on one of the electric lines lead
ing out from Portland; Some
persons with their auto had pro
gressed over the muddy roads for
several miles when a mud-hole of
more than ordinary depth was
encountered, and the auto failed
to get through: a near by farmers
team of horses were pressed into
service and were just hitching to
the machine as the loaded passen
ger car came by laughter, jokes
and jeers met the troubled driver
of the auto by nearly every per
son in the car. If that misfor
tune had happened to a farmer
driving a team of horses to a
farm wagon, instead of jeers and
jokes there would have been ex
pressions of sympathy and will
ingness to aid him in getting out.
With an auto it is different; there
there i3 a different feeling to
ward him. This is a trait of
human nature that can hardly
be explained.
Gipsy Smith
There is only one Gipsy Smith,
Evangelist and Exhorter. There
can be no question of the great
amount of good he does in a com
munity where he holds hi3 meet
ings. His converts run into the
hundreds and thousands, some
of them holding their religion
long enough for the excitement
and emotion to die down after
the Gipsy's departure, others
truly and permanently converted
to his religious beliefs. The Sal-
Tation Army is found in every
city and town in the civilized
world, doing good among a dif
ferent class of people from the
Gipsy converts. Yet because
the Salvation Army has adopted
a uniform dress and wear it on
all occasions they are ridiculed
and rebuffed by the Great and
Only Gipsy. Perhaps if the
great evangelist would permit
other people to worship the same
God that he does in the manner
they see fit and attend to his own
method of worship, the amount
of good he could do would be
greater far than at present.
Statements have often been
made that the prices of land in
Columbia County are too high;
that so long as the unimproved
lands of this county are held at
the prices now asked the county
will remain undeveloped. Yet
a comparison of the prices ask
ed for the logged off lands in
this county with the same class
of lands in other parts of the
state shows that our prices are
from 50 to 200 per cent lower
than those. Of course there is
no other part of the state that
has the favorable location we
have, yet the prices in less fav
ored locations are much higher
than ours. It is not the prices J
of our !and3 that is holding back I
our development, on wnai we
need ib a thorough awakening
to the fact of our first class lo
cation and a campaign of adver-
The pecp e of Portland are
clamoring 1 an all-night car
service and the Council have
taken the matter uj. It is quite
probable that the service will be
put on shortly. This reminds us
that a train service out of Port
land toward this country at some
late hour would be a great con
venience to our people. As it is
now the last train out or Portland
in the evening leaves the North
Bank depot at 5:42; just a little too
early for a person to transact
his business and get his dinner
in Portland and just a little too
late for him to wait until about
7:15 for dinner at St Helens.
Then too there are a great many
times that people in this vicinity
would like to spend the evenings
in Portland and come home on a
late train, but under existing
schedules this is impossible.
Every voter in the State will
have the chance to vote for one
delegate to the National Conven
tion of his party to nominate
candidates for President and
Vice President under the new
law. It does not seem hardly
right for a voter to be limited to
voting for only one delegate when
when there are some ten to be
elected, and we fail to see any
good reason for such a law.
However it is just one more
than the voter was ever permit
ted to vote for before and per
haps the law may be changed
some day so that we can all vote
for as many as there are to be
elected.
STATE NEWS
That the completion of the
Panama Canal will mean millions
of dollars annually to the fruit
growers of the Pacific North
west was the statement of J. N.
Teal in an address to the State
Horticultural Society at its annual
meeting. He believes the fruit
grower will profit more by the
opening of the canal than the
man engaged in any other indus
try, with the possible exception
of the lumberman, although pro
ducers generally will be much
benefited.
Mr. Tot ho" 1 of the reducod
freight rate! t ) the markets of
the world t a will follow when
the canal :3 o "ened, while at the
same time better rates will lower
the cost of almost everything the
horticulturist uses. Markets for
fruit will be widened greatly be
cause of cheaiening of transpor
tation and Mr. Teal estimates a
saving of aproximately $20,000,
000 in freight charges to growers
of the Northwest each year.
Oregon will have a creditable
exhibit on board the Governors'
Special train that leaves St Paul
Nov. 27 for a three weeks tour
of the East. Various communities
have contributed products and
the exhibit has been sent for
ward. It is believed such a show
ing will have a good effect in
attracting settlers to this state.
The first cargo of lumber to be
used in the construction of the
Panama-Pacific Exposition build
ings went from an Astoria mill.
The Pacific Northwest will pro
bably supply many cargoes for
this purpose during the pre-expo-sition
period.
Legislation that will give the
buyer of clothing the same pro
tection as the pure food law
gives the purchaser of provisions
is to be sought as the result of
the recent convention of Oregon
wool erowers. "Pure Wool"
may be demanded and those
making and selling goods of poor
er quality must label their pro-
iduct showing how much wool
j and how much shoddy the gtds
contain, if the proposed measure
is made a law.
To get due recognition for the
Columbia and Snake rivers in ap
propriations by the Government,
the whole Northwest is interest
ed in sending a strong delega
tion to the Rivers and Harbors
Congress which will be held at
Washington, D. C, December 6
to 8. Oregon, Washington and
Idaho commercial bodies are
naming delegates and it appears
there will de a good representation.
