Two principle govern the
moral and intellectual world.-
One 1 perpetual progress, the
other the necessary Dilations to
that progress. If the former
alone prevailed, there would be
nothing steadfuxt and durable
on eurth, and the whole of so-
clal life would be the sport of 4
the winds and waves, if the
latter hnd exclusive sway, or
even If It aintnlned a mlschiev-
ous preponderantly, everything
would petrify or rot. The best
ages of the world are those In
which thi'so two principles are
the moHt equally balanced. In
aurh ages every enlightened man
ought to adopt both principles,
.and with one hand develop what
he can, with the other restrain
and withhold what he ought. ,
With no much talk of new canneries1
In Oregon there has also been tulk
of the danger of overdoing the busi
ness In hlx Ktate. It Is Instructive
In thin connection to note that Ore
gon Is behind I'tah In the number of
Ita canneries, and is not likely to cutch
UP this yeur even If nil the new can
neries now talked of are started. The
Deseret Fanner reports that there
were 21! canneries In operation In Utah
in 19(16 and 27 In 1S07. The amount
paid to growers by the tanneries for
fruit and vegetables amounted to
$297, 9K9 in 1906.

The Observer Is glad to note the In
terest that Is being taken In the mat
ter of a county high school, At the
present time there are no less than 50
young people who are attending dis
tant schools who would not be If a
well equipped county high school wan
maintained In Union county. At a
very conservative estimate at least
three time this number would attend
a home school that cannot afford to
go away. This Is a matter that the
ntlre county Is interested in and some
one should take the Initiative step to
bring It about.
The Observer Is In receipt of bulle

AFTER GROCERY BILLS.
Oregon Grocer) men Drafting a New
Hill Dealing With Delinquent.
The state association of retail gro
cery men which 1 to meet in Portland
next week 1 after the icalp and the
purse of those public officials and
employes who do not pay their grocery
bills, ay the Journal. The grocery
men of the tate desire to have the
present statute exempting public offi
cials from garnishment amended so
that those who are delinquent can be
forced to pay up. In order to bring
about that happy state a bill is now
being drafted by a prominent mem
ber of the Portland association provid
ing for the desired relief and Intended
for submission to the people through
the Initiative In June.
For the past three sessions of' the
legislature efforts have been made by
various business men to secure the
-nactrnent of a law making It possible
o garnishee the wage of a public of
ficial or a public employe to secure
the payment of a debt. Each session
the bill so introduced has fallen by
the wayside after strenuous fights to
secure Its favorable consideration.
It ha been, and Is, represented ,by
the business men who seek the law
that in many instances men holding
office or appointments have hidden
behind the statute and have refused
to pay their bills when payment was
demanded. On the other hand It has
been contended that there Is a remedy
at law for the collection of debt and
that to permit the treasurers of the
state and county administrations to be
bound up with proceedings in garnish
ment would be to lower the dignity
and destroy the system of the offices
This view has prevailed up to this time
with the legislatures.
( Toledo Mills About to 0M-n.
A Toledo, Ore., dispatch says: After
being shut down for several month
on account of the poor market for
lumber, the two sawmills located here
expect to soon resume operations, and
both are being placed in condition for
early work. One of the sawmills was
built last season, and when running on
full time gives employment to about
100 men. Shipments of lumber from
this point are largely made by rail to
California points, but if the appropri
ation for the deepening of the Yaqul-
na liver from Yuqulna city to this
place, now before congress, should be
passed, the time is expected when
ocean-going lumber-carriers will be
able to come up to Toledo and here
load lumber direct from the sawmill.
This would doubtless result In the en
largement of the sawmills here.
