Tint Rrvibw is entered at post office In Portland, Oregon, as mail matter of the second class under the Act of Con gress of March 3, 1879. The six cent car fare is now in force and the only consolation seems to be that it is easier to pay the additional penny now than would have been the case a year or two ago. People have gotten so used to digging up more money for pretty much everything they obtain, that perhaps in time they will get used to the six cent fare. As to whether or not the raise was justifiable public opinion differs. There call be little doubt that the city of Portland is over in BDected and over rctruluted. Too many senseless and frivolous laws. Practically everything is inspection, and the cost of this inspection and regulation no doubt costs the people of the city hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in salaries and the oftimcs useless expense For Sale TWO NEW MODERN 4-ROOM BUNGALOWS Easy Terms On Payments Mortgage Loans, and Insurance Resolutions and tne oitimcs useless expense 4 n . , n .. in of complying with their nrbi- I PeniflSU 8 SeCMl V,CO, tary demands.

Flag Will Be Unfurled Whereas, the great and su preme ruler of the.hni verse, has in his infinite wisdom removed from among us Brother A. S. Scale's mother, and, Whereas, the long and intimate relation held with him in the faithful discharge of his duties in this society makes it eminently be fitting that we record our ap preciation of his mother. There fore be it. Resolved, that the wisdom and ability which she has ex ercised in the aid of her fam ily will be held in grateful re membrance. Resolved, That the sudden re moval of such a life from our midst leaves a vacancy and a shadow that will be deeply real ized by all the relatives and friends and will proe a serious loss to the community. Hesolved, That with deep sympathy with the bereaved re latives of the deceased we ex press our hopes that even bo great a loss to us all may be overruled for good by Him who docth all things well. Hesolved, That a copy of these resolutions bo spread on the minutes of this lodge, a copy sent to the local puper and a copy Bent the bereaved family. Committee, A.W. Sarver.Frcd Haskel, W. J.

GENERAL INSURANCE Rentals and Real Estate Loans Development of tlio wood shipbuilding industry naturally has increased the demand for a maximum output of the lutn ber mills. 1 his has beon tho experience of the Clark & NYU son Lumber Company at Linn ton, which today is operating its plant to capacity, with a day snui oniy. in the last year tins company cut nnd delivered to tho trade 1(5.000.000 feet of manufactured lumber. This company employs 175 men in its lumber mill and nn eoual nuinuor it its various logging camps. I no last year has seen no incrense in tho number of operatives of its sawmill, but 50 additional men have been given work in the camps. Last month this comimnv'n payroll aggregated S18.000 as compared with about 10.000 for the corresponding month a year ago. The fact that its pay roll has almost doubled in the last 12 months is duo to tho fact that'waKes in many of tho do. partments have doubled, in ino last year luu young men nave quit their emn ov ment with tho Western Cooper- ape Company and gone to tho front for their country. Their places havo been tilled chiefly ny women, wno now comnriso per cent ot the work ins force ot ;yu people at this o ant. General business conditions are reported satisfactory by this company, wnoso operations, however, have been slightly handicapped by a shortage of cars, mo labor shortage of last Summer has disappeared with tho arrival of the rainv season and help is plentiful. The com pany has a payroll monthly of 80.000. Although tho number of employes is practically the same as that of a year ago, the monthly wage distribution is about 8000 greater, due to a general advance in wages dur ing tho Inst twelve months. If tho labor situation imnroves tho company plans to enlarge its factory this year, tho em- ploy of more help and a larger output.
