When one considers the expert
knowledge of the world with reference
to the application and use of electricity
in doing the world's work, it is simply
’marvelous that the men who have
such knowledge know nothing of the
agency with which they work; that
they cannot say with certainty wheth­
er, as a force, it is matter or a con­
dition of matter. It is a force that
conserves and transfers energy, and
that it resembles the life force, or, at
least, we think it does. Perhaps it is
the life force; but we cannot prove it,
¡ we cannot even know. In a funda­
mental way our ignorance of electricity
is colossal. We harness it and make
it do our bidding in a thousand and one
ways, but to utter one word as to its
genesis, we cannot for our lives.
That boy, if he only knew it, asked
one of the biggest questions that has
ever been propounded bv the human
mind. It is the equivalent of the query
as to the origin of life.—Ex.

A petition signed by C. F. Hoefs

that street be changed to ¡conform to

discussion was laid over for future
consideration.

PORTLAND LETTER
New York Banker Advises
Northwest Farms as Best
Investment.
Portland, Or., April 4 (Special)-No
less a financial authority than Frank
A. Vanderlip, president of the National
City Bank, New York, and formerly
an assistant to the Secretary of the
Treasury, has handed out good advice
to Oregonians this past week. He
says every man should get a piece of
lard and he urges that now is the time
to get it.
Mr. Vanderlip was entertained during
the past week by the Portland Com­
mercial Club. He expressed great
confidence in the future of Oregon and
Bays the very attractive appearance of
the state impresses him with the
wisdom of every man securing for
himself and family a piece of land,
for it will not be a great while until
a poor man will be unable to get land.
In discussing the financial situation,
Mr. Vanderlip expresses the belief
that business conditions in the country
at large are taking a hopeful turn.
He finds banks are sound, crop pro­
spects are good and there is general
confidence in the future.
The exploitation of Douglas fir will
be undertaken by the manufacturers
of Oregon aud Washington and a fund
was set aside at a recent meeting to
carry on a publicity campaign. It ¡is
felt that with such immense quantities
of fir timber available in the two
states, it can be given a much wider
market in future.
Latest estimates of the number of
new settlers who will come to Oregon
during the present period of low
colonist fares place the figure at
35,000. The movement is said by the
rsilroads tn be the heaviest since
colon ist periods were inaugurated and
while not all who come will become
permanent settlers, a great proportion
will and eventually many who go back
will return and make their home here.
A resolution standing by the legis­
lative appropriations for .the state
educational institutions was adopted
during the past week by the promotion
committee of the Portland Commercial
Club.
The resolution demanded
adequate facilities for the education of
the young and expresses the belief
that the sums set aside by the Legis­
lature are not at all excessive.
