AMERICAN
CHARACTERISTICS
We are a mighty tolerant peo
ple, we Americans, and there
are several millions of us.
We stand an awful lot of clat
ter and busybody propaganda;
and are willing to concede almost
anybody his place in the sun and
on the sidewalk provided he
doesn't try to jostle us out of
our place.
We don't like to be shoved
about; that is, not too far the
most of us.
We are open-minded enough to
listen to any one's exposition of
his opinions; and we take neither
ourselves nor the other fellow
too seriously.
But one of our heritages, which
bobs to the surface when we are
crowded too far, is a prompt
readiness to fight it out, in a
sportsmanlike way. We won t
strike below the belt; and we
won't do anything monstrous to
our ideal of fair play, even to
win.
But we will fight; and we
wouldn't be worth our place in
the sun if we would not fight.
Do you get me?
We have a very real and typi
cal American at the helm. If he
has seemed to be too slow in
these long months, the recent
revelations show that, knowing
all the facts, he was moving
with wisdom, and the caution
imposed by conditions.
We are going to staad by him,
of course, ready for him to give
the word. When he does there
is no doubt we will render a
worthy account of ourselves as a
great nation. Pacific Echo.
WAR MAY CONTINUE
FOR FIVE YEARS
T. J. Fryer received a letter
this week from his daughter.
Mrs. Mildred Campbell, an ex
tract from which said: "Reg
Campbell, my brother-in-law, is
back in training for his third trip
into France and the trenches.
It seems like he has had more
than his share of the fighting
but it cannot be helped. This is
war and we all know what war
is and we all knowthat it is no?
an easy thing for a man to get a
release. We all thought this
beastly war would be over by
fall but by the way it looks now,
every one predicts it will last
from two to five years yet.
Captain T. C. Campbell spent
all day at King George's hos
pital where he saw and assisted
in some of the greatest work
that is any medical man's lot to
see. He came home delighted.
He ia studying and will take a
degree in Edinburgh before re
turning to the United States."
CHIEF GRANGER
OPPOSES BOND ISSUE
The farmers are evidently not
strong for the six million dollar
road bonding scheme. The head
of the granges in the state has
filed an argument against it wilh
the secretary of state. Among
other things he asserts that the
cost of completing the roads as
outlined in the bill creating the
highway commission will amount
to $50,000,000. He advocates
letting the commiision get some
practice with the funds that will
be at its disposal anyway, which
will be nearly one million dollars
a year. On the other hand a
vigorous campaign is baing made
by those advocating the measure
and the fight gives promise of
becoming a hot one before elec

FUTURE HOP PRICES
NOT ENCOURAGING
It is reported that representa
tives of s me eastern hop firms
are advising growers that the
prospects for better hop prices
for next fall are brighter. Grow
ers who think for themselves fail
to see what justifies such a be
lief, and say that the eastern
dealers evidently want to induce
the growers to harvest as large a
crop as possible in order to keep
prices down to the present level.
As there is little prospect of any
large European demand, there
can be little hope of profitable
prices, even if the European war
should end soon. Aurora Ob

NEW ESTRAY LAW
Under the new law persons
taking up estrays must exercise
due diligence to ascertain the
owners, and if none is found
within ten days an affidavit must
be filed with a justice of the
peace reciting the facts and the
efforts made to find the owner.
If the justice is satisfied that due
diligence has been used he will
order notite of sale by publica
tion in two issues of a weekly
newspaper and at the expiration
of 25 days from taking up the
animals may be sold, and the
proceeds applied to the expense
and reimbursing the property
owner.
The law takes effect May 21.
