County Official
Paper
We are iroinir to change our
name. Hereafter thia paper will
be called "The St. Helens Mist"
instead of "The Oregon Mist."
We make this change for several
reasons, one of them being that
we are proud of our home city.
St. Helens Is the best town In
Oregon and we want the name of
the city to appear In our heading.
The word "Oregon" as applied
to this paper heretofore does not
mean much, so we have mae the
change In the heading. We are
preparing to improve our plant
with new machinery and tools no
that wr will have a plant second
to none. We are going to keep
on improving the paper as fast
as possible. In addition to the
full page of St. Helens ncw9, ar.
rangements are under way to
print a full page of new9 from
various parts of the county. It
will be not only a St. Helens paper
but will be a Columbia County
paper printed and published at
St. Helens, the county seat. Dur
ing the year of 1912 we have en
deavored to keep pace with the
times in this Community and have
made many improvements. We
have given the news as we found
it. On all matters of public con
cern we have passed an opinion,
editorially, and will continue to
do so, having due regard and re
spect for the opinions of others.
Our aim has lx-cn to give the
news, advertise this section of
the country, St. Helens in par
ticular, and conduct a live, read
able paper for all classes. If the
efforts have met with the ap
proval of the readers we ask a
continuance of the liberal patron
age heretofore given us.

Labor Unions were organized
for the purpose of mutual pro
tection. Laboring people of all
classes have banded together to
aid each other in the struggle for
life and living wages. The pri
mary object of organized labor
is worthy the vmu who organized
the unions and haf done so much
to make them a power to be
reckoned with. No one doubts
the sincerity of purpose of the
ordinary union man, yet the
crimes that are committed in the
name of organized labor is doing
more to weaken and influence for
good they may have than years
of lawful and Jegitimate work
can remedy. Think of 3S men
out of 10 being convicted in the
United States for dynamiting
Think of the great crimes, mur
der, arson and destruction of
property committed by men higr
in the councils of organized labor
and in the name of organized
labor. If thai method is pursued
much longer Unionism will be a
thing of the past. When the
ordinary union men will permit
a few ngitatots and outlaws to
run their affairs and commit
crimes in their names it is high
time that new leaders were se
lected and that great care be
used In their selection. After the
elections have been made
greater care should be used in
watching their every movement
and the first one who undertakes
to commit a crime in the name of
labor must bo kicked out and
punished. It is up to the labor

representative business, professional
and educational men is at work on
the proposed law, putting it in shape
to present later to the state law
makers." According to Dr. Kerr, of
the Oregon Agricultural College,
the work of that institution should
1m demonstrated among the farmers,
giving them, at their homes, the
pport unity of seeing the very latest
methods of agriculture. All in
terests will work together to sup
ply this need.
A number of young people, boys
ami girls, are niHking a practice of
loafing in the St. Helens postotlice
obby and during the ahsenco of the
iHMlotlice emuloyees devote their
time to scribbling on ollieial mat-
ter, also on calendars and other mat
ter placed there for convenience 01

stroying nny other postotlice prop
erty to which they find access. This
must be stopped and stopped ai
once. Actions of this kind will
positively not bo tolerated. The
city marshal has been Instructed to
make arrests of such parties. The
United States postal authorities will
be notified of any further attempts
of this nature, and as fair warning
has been given, no leniency can be
expected. The postofViee lobby is
not intended aa a congregating place
for idlers, and such parties are
warned r'"st using it for this
ling matter through
"Postmaster" by
industries movement.
An attractive program has been
arranged for the second Oregon Irri
gation Congress to be held in Port
land January l-10-11. The list of
sK'akers includes agricultural and
irrigation exjerts, many of them of
national reputation. Officials of the
reclamation service and railroad
presidents are listed for talks, but
not less interesting will be the actual
experiences of irrigation farmers.
The congress promises to Ins well
attended from all sections of Oregon.
