BASKET BALL
From figures recently compil
ed at the Portland Union Stock
yards, it would appear that un
less there is a radical change,
on the part of the farmers, in
the handling of the hog busi
ness, in a short time Oregon will
be right back in the position
Occupied a few years ago al
most no breeding stock on hand,
record breaking prices in tho
local market on account of tho
inevitable shortage of supply
and another hurry call on tho
Middle West for brood sows to
restock the empty pens. And
this deplorable condition is be
ing brought about by the pre
sent abnormally high price of
wheat, and also to tho lact that
a large number of hog raisers
throughout tho state neglect to
grow the necessary iced on
which to finish their crop of
pork and on which tho surplus
stock can be economically car
ried through the winter. Dur-
ng a period of seven consecu
tive duys, ending the past week,
12,000 hogs wero received at the
Portland ynrds. only a small per
centage of which were really fit
for killing, tho balance appar
ently havimr bc&i shinned to
avoid the expense of carrying
them until spring, lho certain
result of these excessive ship
ments will be n ruinous falling
oft in values, a wiping out of the
log surplus of Inst fall. Oregon
io I ana climate is suited to the
production of corn, field pens und
ilfnlfa, all of which arc splendid
log feed, and until the farmer
nlants more extensively of these
crops and thus makes himself
independent of outside assist
ance, tho hog industry will bo
at the mercy of any inlluenco
which may affect the prices of
wheat apd othejr grains in tho
Northwest.

A Thing of Beauty
The new roadway leading to
the plant of the Western Cooper
age Company, officially known
as Edgewater avenue, is a most
picturesque one, as it winds by
easy grade around the hills to
the railroad tracks. Large num
bers gf people traverse it every
Sunday, and its scenic beauty
is the cause of much admiring
comment. V. W. Mason, who
had the contract for hard surfac
ing the avenue, certainly made a
splendid job of it. It is well
worth the while of any one to
travel over this fine avenue lead
ing to the river frontage.

Every dollar that is paid by
Oregon employers and employes
into the Industrial Accident
Fund remains in Oregon. Mil
lions of dollars of Oregon money
has been paid to Eastern and
foreign casualty companies.
Oregon is poorer for every dol
lar she spends out of the state
for casualty insurance. East
ern states and foreign companies
are the gainers. Tho funds in
thepermanent industrial accident
fund are invested in Oregon se
curities. For example: Two
new high schools at Amity and
Rainier wero built with tho pro
coeds derived from the sale of
bonds with Accident Insurance
funds, at a time when it was
practically impossible to secure
outside loans.
Have any schools been built
in Oregon by tho Eastern casual
ty companies from funds de
rived from high premiums paid
by Oregon employers and em
ployes? The State of Washington car
ries her own stnto accident in
surance. She keeps every dol
lar at home to enrich Washing
ton. Can Oregon afford to be
outstripped in the industrial
raco by Washington?
Thero is little consistency in
advocating buying Oregon made
goods and sending Oregon's
money out of tho stato for In
dustrial Accident Insurance
when it can bo done better and
cheaper at home.
It is against public policy that
a profit should be mado out of
the injuries of tho worker in the
industrial battlefield. With
cquul proprioty and coiuclonco
wo should turn over to a casual
ty company tho payment of pen
sions to our soldiers or sailors,
or the distribution of tho wid
ow's pension fund.

then a drama entitled, "Tho Sis

immense amount of merriment
and was carried out in fine style

Editor Review: G.'s article
in the current issue of the Re
view on the cause of crime is. I
think, well worth the considera
ble space you give it. There is
Lmuch of tho right kind of spirit
and it indicates a more than
common interest in tho subject.
In some respects however it docs
not seem clear in its conclusions
and is, I think, unfair to a class
of people who are perhaps as
thoughtful and ready to help in
a practical way ns G.
That responsibility for crime
rests on society rather than the
individual may be true to a lim
ited extent and it is well for so
ciety to look to this. Unfor
tunately this conviction is very
popular with the criminal and
from his point of view is not
nearly so convincing, nnd more
over I think an opinion not cal
culated to strengthen the moral
character of anyone. G's obser
vations about the relative value
of common sense nnd the opin
ions of expert investigators is
not we venture to say altogether
sound. Rules of action based on
broad, general principles and
tho experience of many men and
many years uro often more de
pendable than the conclusions of
somo special investigntor.
Probably I'tirndny. whoso gen
ius laid bare in a few months
tho fundamental principles of
electricity, would have made a
poor job of wiring your house.
Because Avagadro demonstrated
that equal volumes of all guscs
under liko conditions contain
the same number of molecules,
it docs not follow thnt ho would
huvo made a practical refrigera
tion engineer or could produce
tho most satisfactory air com
pressor of his time. That tho
problem dealt with is coniplcx
Is only nn additional rcnaon why
it should be handled along the
lines of broad principles and
common sense.
G. classes those who relv on
common senso with the rubble
who cried out for tho life of Him
who nlono saw with a clear vis
ion where wo but dimly discern
tho truth. It is well to remem
ber in this connection that the
people were but tho tools of the
Scribes and Pharisees whoso
life was given to religious and
moral philosophy nnd that "the
common people received him
gladly."
That society makes many
mistakes and is often unjust in
the administration of Justice
cannot bo gainsaid, but after
all tho fear of punishment and
tho hope of reward arc tho prin
cipal incentives to righteous
ness nnd it is ns logical to expect
good to como 'rom mitigating
one us to diminish mo reward
of the other.
We hnvo to look back but a
fow years to u time when the
punishment for till forms of
crime was much more rigorous
than now. In fact tho change
in this respect is most marked
and is still going on. And ynt
G, calls our attention to tho fact
that criminnlogists insist that
crime of all kinds is on tho in
crease. G's argument based on tho two
interesting facts brought out by
Lambroso is either obscuro or
vicious. Just what does ho
mean by tho "normal demands"
he thinks should go unrestricted?
What are tho rules and regula
tion requirements thnUho justi

WorR Progressing
Work on tho plant of tho Wes
tern Cooperage Company near
tho dry docks is progressing in
a steady manner. Tho super
structure of tho main mill is well
under way and it is being con
structed in a most substantial
manner. A large area of land
has been filled in and leveled up
from earth dredged from the
river bed, and wo understand
that the contracts will soon be
let for the other buildings that
are to bo erected. It is probable,
thnt the plant will bo In opera
tion by the first of May. Tho
machinery of tho largo plant
now in operation at Aberdeen.
Wash., it is said, will bo shipped
here and considerable new ma
chinery will also be installed.
Probably fifty of tho skilled em
ployes at Aberdeen will movo
hero and work at tho new plant.
The industry will have a capaci
ty of about'500 hands when fully
completed. It is the intention
of tho company to give St. Johns
labor preference over any other.
This city should feel proud of
tho fact that such a substantial
institution is locating in St.
Jonhs ono which any city would
be elated to possess, and all the
encouragement possible should
be given tho company.
