All Right,
Jurljre Duby of Haker. who is now a Highway commissioner of
: the state, was in town today and made us shut up about the Island
' City road. We had rather taken the stand that the re-paving of
i this road was useless and that the paving to be used there could
, Letter be used in stretching out the paved urea in the county.
But Judge Duby has been studying the problem. He stales,
and wo don't dare contradict him, that when one of these little
two-inch veneer paving tops begins to break into pieces ill is worse
than a dried out Tillamook cheese. Soon it crumbles and the only
way to get traffic by at all is to rip up the whole thing and go
br.ck to macadam. The Judge says that is what is coming to the
Island City road unless a re-coating is put on it about three
inches of black top will do the work. This can be done while
the Warrens have their plant located for city work and thu.N
save tho cost of setting up a plant. When completed it will
insure the Island City road for years to come, according to the
engineer's office, and we believe that road experience is such that
the engineer has a perfect right to make this statement.
With this explanation which is convincing the Observer says,
; "All right, judge, start them to work and let's save to Union
county the little strips of paving which we secured in the orig
inal shake-up."
The mistake that was made, but it was made in many of the;
states as well as here, was to ever lay a pavement as thin as two
inches and expect it to hold up under the heavy traffic.
Things At Home
It is not what we have but what we think of what we have thai;
really counts.
This oldtime but trite and truthful saying comes up occasion
ally to wain us in our pride. ,,
' Itccently City Commissioner Villianis was making an automo
bile trip find away out in the interior he ran across some congenial
people who headed the opposite direction. The conversation of the
road followed and among other things the strangers mentioned
was the splendid auto camp they had found at La Grande, Oregon,
und the fine treatment they had received while camped there. 1
4 They did not know where Jlr. Williams was fiom. He sat ftr
'n while, listened to the nice things said about his town and then he
dwelled up lo a point where he had to proudly admit he was
resident of La Crande and incidentally slate that he was a mem
ber of the city commission which had charge of and shaped the
destinies of the tourist camp in La .Grande.
The things at home are pretty good after all. Why seek IV
greener pasture far away when as a matter of fact it is not
greener when you compare it with what you have at home.
The Waste Basket
Our civilizatioii is to bo judged just as much by our waste
baskets as by our sky-scrapers. Indeed the musings of the great
philosophers will be given over to this wide-mouthed receptacle
of tagends just as much as to the more substantial and spectacular
inventions and creations of man! it will inspire reflections not to
be drawn from pyramids anil subway tunnels and steam engine.;.
Tlie waste-b:isket is an institution universal and permanent.
Thrones and alteis may crumble, but all the frills and I'inei ie.i of
these vanishing woiks of man find their resting-place hi the
waste-basket. Kmpircs flourish, and in the end come lo nothing
in the wa.-.te-bnskct of lime. The waste-basket litis outlived tho
.inexorable laws oT the Modes ami Persians il will remain at last
to receive all the discarded hopes and strivings of mankind.
Human progiess is to bo understood onlv in the liuht of what.
is tossed lluiughtlcssly or dropped xwth a sigh into the waste- felX laVm "lt
liaskt'ts ot tlie WOll.l. ihoir coltloilts yest. rtlay, lotlay, and for h.-.td expense f .ul steadily dec.eas

all time lo come, are the true
ly what we discard, as truly as by what we utilize, that we shall
be judged.
The musing of I he Great Philosopher on waste-baskets is ting
ed with pathos. These ultimate repositories of human endeavor
aie oiien linen with loud aspirations come m naught: with hone
luiilt on shiftinjr sands, with ends

sun is still Khininif. The tenction
that has taken place is a perfectly
natural one, und certainly is nol
blue to anv imiiemlinie business catas
trophe. In fact, reports from nearly
all sections of the United States.
South America, Australia, India, and
some parts of Europe indicate sound
conditions. Of course, there are
certain lines of trade that are fur
from pro perous, but, taking inilus-1
try as a whole, a very encouraginit i
situation presents itself, both in the I
United States anil other nations of I
the world. Notwithstanding the po-
litical turmoil in continental Europe,;
industry is asserting itself there,;
and there has Ijeen vast improvement I
in this direction during the last few
years. The elimination of distrust
and hatred among the nations would
go a long distance toward restoring
confidence and - establishing uuiver-1
