They paraded Portland streets, took over the city jail, tfialihed the po Jice wagon, kanjfaroocd the. cruel 01 ponce, mayor ana ine uiku ici attorney. No, it was not one of the intoxicated parties it was just old fashioned fun. The Dokkie spirit from Rhode Island to Winnipeg rnd from r.rilish Columbia to Texas was of the best and it pre vailed 100 per cent in Portland. When the Tennesseails wanted to march their drum coi-ps through the hotel corridors at the dead hour of night they did it. The drums were not muffled, either, and they whanged away un til they shook the windows. La Crande's temple had a band in the show at Portland that look the honors in its contests and the Philharmonic orchestra from Enteiprise, under lendei'ship of J. David Haines, was popu lar, not only with the visitors, but with Portland people who were not even members of the lodge. Portland went strong for the En terprise orchestra. Hut the orchestra was in good form and was justly entitled to every honor that was bestowed upon it. As a whole the Dokkie world did Oregon a lot of good by meet ing here, and we believe Oregon did the Dokkies a lot of good, also V'Ato r.H IT WDM T'S TO K.VOI'IC A I'ltK'ITV (Hl:l ni'T-Too okTi-.w 'nil-: onlv roNNhcnoX IIKTWKKN I1K.U 'TV- AM) CHAINS IS THAT TIIL'V IIOTII l!i:(MN with Till': KA.ui': i.kttkk.

Mighty Poor Water I.a Grande is drinking water pumped from the river a river that is not patrolled, a river that has camps all along its bunks, and yet wo have going to waste plenty of fresh mountain water high up in the hills. We have all discussed the water question until we have reached just one final conclusion there is but one thing to do and that is build a pipe line that will carry in enough water for the city. We ran't do it this year, unfortunately, and our people will continue to drink the water that drains off of the dead animals, the cess pools and camper's camps True, we will have some chloronation process which we can strengthen only to upset the stomach and sot up a prize fight within that stomach between the chlorine and the hie ,vjtroil, wijelj is used Ija JtiH-thnt RiKejtungus growing in the reservoir. Providence gave us the water just a few miles up in the hills, made the grade steep so that gravity would bring it down to the valley, evidently presuming that we had sufficient gumption to provide details and not allow human consumption of poisonous drugs in any iunnlity when all that is required is to open the pipe line and let the water flow for the last mile in open flume with a few rocks for it to run over. The plan of drilling a well Is all right as as experiment that can lie done immediately, so let's get at it.

THE Continued growth and expansion of the Nation-Wide Institution of J.

The figures in ' the above hiap give the number of our Stores in each state. ' More and More thtf Great American Public , ' Is Appreciating This League of Opportunities i ; You only need to stop and think of the extensive advantages that accrue in buying in the , Heading market! for such an enormous combination of efficiently conducted co-operative Stores, - to fully understand how the people of each community benefit in such a large way in buying j. from this Organization. Each Store is a local enterprife, partly owned by its Manager, and I participating in the civic and social affairs of its community. Take Advantage of J. C. Penney Co.

While most young men, at least all who will ever amount to any thing, would lake the job that pays the most money, other things being equal, there is a class, possibly, which considers the gentility of a job compensates for the lack of pay. H is conceivable that one might decline a position offering more money because the oppor tunities contained wore less than in the one held, but in that case the decision would not be based on gentility. All work is genteel that is legitimate and the job of a shipping clerk is as honorable as that of a bank clerk. Iloth honor the man ; who does good work and neither can honor the man who thinks' one is more genteel than another who wears a white collar and whose employment does hot soil his hands. It's the man and not the job on which gentility depends Yet the idea that one kind of work is less dignified than an other prevails, though it is un-American and undemocratic. Ho-1 mestic help would not be so scarce and unsatisfactory were notj such opinions held. It is all right, in the opinion of many, for a' girl to work in a shop but not in a kitchen, though the latter may' pay far belter wages lhan that which is favored. It seems also to make a difference whether one draws wages or a salary, though it is a little difficult to distinguish between the two. lioth ar' payments for services. It's the service which is being sold and it's honorable if value is given and no one sen-ice is more honor able than another though greater skill may be put into it with cori-esponding reward. That one form of laudable effort is moiv enteel than another is but a bit of snobbishness. "Mvntli- Mirhl" I riiillw Hint 'NnlHiily wlii-ii Thfy snlil Hint 1 riii'il nvi-r Yon."
