The Wonder Industrj Editorials From Over the Nation One need only glance around him any day anywhere to be impressed that the automobile industry is one of the most important in the country. But the figures for 11022, compiled by Alfred Reeves, general manager of the Na tional Automobile Chamber of Commerce, are bound to be surprising to most people. Motor vehicles registered in the United States number, approximately, 11,500,000, or 81 per cent of all there are in the world. The increase in registration over 1!)21 was 7 per cent. Now production totaled 2,527,000, of which 240,000 were trucks. The previous record production was that of 1920 when 2,205,000 motor vehicles were manufactured. The wholesale value of last year's outout was $1,558,507,000. For replacements alone this year 1,800,000 vehicles will be required. Ut the motor vehicles in use in the United States 3,500,000 are on farms. There are 40,000 motor busses in use, 12,000 schools employing them to transport pupils between classes and homes. Freight is hauled by motor truck to the amount of 1,4:30,000,000 tons annually; passengers carried by motor number 7,500,000,000. The motor vehicle and allied industries employ 2,431, 400 persons, so that approximately 10 per cent, of the country s population is supported by the business of sup plying an almost equal proportion of cars and trucks. This industry furnishes 400,000 carloads of railroad freight a year; it uses 83 per cent of the rubber supply; 30 per cent, of the plate glass production; 20 per cent of the aluminum supply and 4 per cent, of the iron and steel output. The annual tire production called for by motor vehicles is 3(!, 340,000, which indicates that the good reports made of mileage got out of tires are not mere brags. In light of these stupendous facts, the loss of life due to automobile operation appears less formidable than when badly stated as 10,l(iS in 1921, as reported by the United States department of commerce. This runs about one death a year to each 1,000 motor vehicles operated. On a daily basis it would be about one death to 300,000 ve hicles. But knowing what we do of the character of auto 'iuobile accidents this rate is inexcusably high. It must be reduced by relentless warfare against reckless and drunk en drivers. DRESS CLOTHES Philadelphia Public Ledger: Am bassadnr Harvey, among his obr vations on returning from London, adverts to tho difference in the ut tiro of post-bellum and ante-bellum diplomat". Uefore the war tho Amprican representatives wan less glorious than the flunkevs. us he stood in plain black and white umongi me gentry ot the Almanach do (intha bedizened nnd ablaze with orders, tihbons aind other fimry. In the! midst of these human Christmas i trees he felt as lost as a child in j tt toy store. ' But now, with the bottom J)ut ofi the money market and monarchixm mnduliiting rapidly in to republican-1 ism. the strutting, trailing birds of Paradise are cha-iging to a soberer j f.-athtr. Paper money will not buy; Clad rags. The American ambassa-1 dor is less likely to be taken for a i servant, as Ambassador Choate was' when, at milord's request, he "called j him a cab." ! Many a nonentity has impersonut-j etl the majesty and dignity of his country and escaped detection for the stuffed shirt that he was. He was" correctly clad for state functions, and ho knew when to bow and how to walk out backward, tnd so his mental inadequacy was forgiven. Hut nowadays the business among na tions is ton important to he intrust ed to tailors' dummies. It must be put in the hands of mqn who are ns important as they look, whos? upper story is amply furnished with gray matter. A civil tongue, a concil iatory yet firm disposition, a gracious urbanity in every dealing, a tlue re gard for appearances and forms, is expected of those who are sentl abroad in our national nam?. Hut dressing the part is much less than I playing it. We need men of in tellectual force, decision of character, clear vision amd high purpose, who can do a lot more than "look swell" in a tlress suit. 111 mm th The e Year Greatest Sale of ror L,a ranae an Surrounding Community It has been provenVonclusively that it pays our many hundreds of faith ful cuJMxmiers to wait foKthis great annual event.

Floyd Kendall J. E. Foley paid Baker City a vis--, it last week. Hescue Hose Company No. 1, held:" their legular business meeting Wed nesday evening- The divine Sarah Bernhardt, the Greatest of es, perhaps, is at death's door, hut refuses to yield. Art calls her hack to the stage, hut there is a still niore imper ative call. She has been encouraged to believe, according to reports, that she may return to the stage within a day or two in the fear that the truth would be too great a blow for her. dded to Mine. Bernhardt 's worries is the rn;il iy;il inn that the fortunes which have rewarded her endeavors have been dissipated largely, it is said, by the indulp'ence of an unbusinss-like relative. Mow often the threat of poverty is reserved as the final bitter cup for the last days of those accustomed to fame and wealth! For the artist it is not unusual experience, for it seems often his lot to be unthrifty, unwise in investment or too generous in charity. Mark Twain found simself in a similar predicament when he was (it) years old. A publishing house in which he was a partner, failed, and he was responsible for its debts. But it was admitted that he was in now wav responsible lor the collapse of the business and might have escaped i iiir.n-.iu tt endeavoring to clear Ins reputation at the least expense, he went on a lecture tour, the pro-1 cecds of which, with royaltis from his books, were used to pay the debts of the firm. Next to innocence, retribution willingly undertaken and successfully carried out, is most gratifying Mm Brenhardt may be denied that last consolation of true greatness, the serene contemplation of work completed. It is now reported there are 8,000,000 Russians in need of immediate relief." Is this thing of relieving HSsia to be a permanent job? In these days no bridegroom's hope chest is complete without at least one bullet-proof vest. It may be true that a man suffers for bis sins but others are likely to suffer before he dues. The sincerity of any opinion that is flattering is not so likely to be called into tuestion. About the best way to punish some persons would be to look them up with their own dispositions. Some pri-sons feel amused, and there are others who laugh because it seems the thing to do. Even if Sir Thomas Lipton were to win the 101!. Am erican cup there would be nothing in it. With the Ilohenzollerns all is lost save their titles. THE OFFICE CAT District 'l-'orest Hanger, lit ut,m.,,,,e,. n tit ii,i..r which thnv j hud already paid to the previous (ioverniiit iil. As a result the lotftfinK camps and mills lmv closed down, and there were no bidders for conces- hhhis recently offered at public auc tion. A timber merchant, dlncunnlntf the situation, said: "The nearest markets for the sale of timlH-r are China and Japan, and these countries take from 7u to Su million cubic feet a year from Amerira, which naturally fixes the market price of timber. Instead of developing export by reducing the price for felllnif and for railway tran sit: instead of the abolishment of ex port taxes ami reducing for loading. I. c, for the cheapening of Itusslan limber- in order to compete with Am- .erica, the actions of the locnl author ities are directed in raising Its price, i First the price for felling timber, 1 which was already high, has hwn Jn- creased by u to 12 per cent, for the j purpose or clearing arens over which , the timber has been cut. As a result 'of this and the incmaaed demands of labor the cost of laying down a log In Kobe is mij n,.n. This log sells in KoUo from 70 to 8u wn. The same jupplUs to finhing concessions."
