ST. JOHNS REVIEW VOLUME 14 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1918. NUMBER 3 Monarch Mill to Resume Under a decision handed down byJudgi VVolverton in Federal Court, the large property of the Monarch Lumber Company near East St. Johns, comprising 28 ncros of mill nlant and yards, is ordered sold to satisfy in fulli the mortgages and interest, totaling nearly $G0J,U00. and the plant, which has been tied up in litigation since 1911, immediate ly will rejume operations under the mananoment und direction of its original builder, Lester W. D.ivid, Government contracts for cutting lumber will be ex ecuted at once, improvemsnts costing more than $00,000 having b"er. made recently in anticipa tion of the final chapter in the lengthy and costly limitation. The plant has a capacity of 890, 000 to 1,000.000 feet a day. The decision U doubly inter opting bee una the litigation has completely tied up the big in dustrial plant since 1911, when John W. Kaste claimeJ owner ship of the property through having levied on it to satisfy a judgment of $800 and got a sher iffs'' deed but has never had possession. A baikruptcy ac tion brought the matter into the Federal Court. The Circuit and Supreme Courts had held that J. W. Kaste practically owned the property, but. under the de cision of the Federal Court the equity of redemption is not deni ed. The original cost of the property was a little less than $1,250,000. whilo testimony in troduced in tho trial of the suit showed it to bo worth more than $700,000. It comprises 28 acres of land in the North Portland industrial district, served by the railroads. The mill has its own steam plant generating electric power, and ia capable of urnfshing electric current to other in dustries sullicicnt to create an income of $3000 per month. When completed in 1007 it was regarded as the latest exempli i cation of tho engineering art in mill construction, including modorn dry kilns, full equip ment for tho economic handling of matorial from tho plants to the kilns or yards. It is capable of handling material of tho larg ost sizo and of sawing shin tim bora 131 feet in length. Lester W. David, tho builder, invested $800,000 in tho plant personally. David has boon in possession of tho mill as tho representative of tho mortgagees sinco the litigation id tho Federal Court began, and will put it in operat ion under contracts signed with tho United States Government to put in a spruce plant and cut neroplano stock. Ho has just completed repairs to the mill at a cost of about $G0.000 to put it into first-class condition for be gining operations. Tho small mill has been cut ting material under operation by the spruce division. It will re quire mora than 250 men immed iately and from 800 to 1200 men when going at full capacity.

The Peoples Home Journal. Germany produces 200 bushels of potatoes to the acre and the United States Ie3s than 100 bushels. Normally, potatoes make up only thirteen per cent, of our diet. This year, to save wheat, we ought to eat twice as many potatoes as usual. Last year, this country raised 450,000,000 bushels, being about four bushels for every man, woman and child.

Steel Plant on West Side Negotiations were closed lait week for tho purchase by the Pacific Coast Steel company of 21 acres of land near Willbridge, adjoining 12 acres already owned bv the steel company. The tract will be used as the site for a new steel plant representing an investment of more than $1,000, 000. A. C. Callan of Portland and William Plgott of Seattle re- presented the Pacific Coast Steel company, and M. L. Hoi- brook of tho Merchants' National bank, looked after the interests of tho owners of tho acreage. The land purchased is admirably adapted for mill purposes. According to Mr. i;aiian, work will begin at once on the con struction of the mill. Surveys have been made for side trackage from the Spokane. Portland Az Seattle railway. Contracts al ready have been let for structural steel and other building material, The nlant will bo equipped with two 'open hearth furnaces. and with all modern appliances necessary for thu manufacture of soft steel products. Scrap iron will be used largely und pig iron will be shipped in from Irondale, Wash, The com pany will manufacture stanch ions, rods, bolts, rivets and other material used in shipbuilding. Tho new plant will give cm iloymcnt to approximately 500 men. and will add materially to Portland's rapidly growing pay roll. The property purchased was valued at approximately $100.- 000 and includes a strip of four acres running to tho Willamette river. Tho frontage on tho river will afford ample dockage fa cilities. The plans of the com pany includo tracks from the North Hank railway lino through thu mill yards to thu docks it iroposcs to build. Plnns uro now under way for lousing employes of tho steel mill and of other industries in thu Linnton district. Tho Saltz man tract, consisting of 500 acres on tho hillside west of tho industrial center, will bo built up as a rnsidonco districljiccord rhfrto 'J: B; HolbrookPrnanager of tho Saltzman Investment company.

Plans of both companies look for the construction of residences in tho immcdiato future. The Reason They Fail Advertising! Bradstreet's statement that 81 per cont of all failures are among non-adver Users is significant. Intelligent advertising has become an essential in every modern in dustry, but what shall tho adver tiser do in tho face of tho war situation when ho finds it difficult to get goods to fill his ordorsV First of all, it should bo ro membered that tho foundation purpose of judicious advertising is to fix indelibly the trademark n the public's mind. A let up n that campaign must be fatal to any product. So, wo find Mr, George H.Charles, Vice-president of tho American Rolling Mill Company, declaring tho com nany's purpose to continue Its advertising, although for two and a half years it had been unable to supply the demand fur its product. "We are building," said he, "a permanent business edifice. and some day we wou d have to spend millions of dollars buying Pack the business and good-will of our clients if they are forsaken n this emergency. Unless advertising is kept up without a DreaK-ine aaveruser loses me results of tile initial effort." Here is a warning to the ad vertiser who neglects the dull season in summer. When ad vertisements are fewest is1 the very time when a message to the public will get the most atten tion. It is good "psychology" to nush the advertisement of a win ter product in summer and of a summer product in winter, Les lies. The crovernment is not calling upon us to give up all of our toothsome dishes, but to be econ omical in the use of those com modities which are scarce. Nuts and fruits have not been tabooed, and these will be found to add much to many dishes and especially to give to our daily bread a new and very delightful flavor. Not Um labtl on your pagor.

Chautauquas a Big Help At no time in the history of tho Chnutauipm movement itivo tho strong reasons for its permanency, as a clear expres sion support of national ideals and purpose, been so vitally apparent as now. President Wil son, Vice President Marshall, Secretary of War Maker, Henry P. Davison, Uoorge creel, and tho other principal authorities at Washington unquuunotuy uriro tho earnest co operation of tho American people in sup- lorting Chautnunua thruout the country. In tho nucleus or their several endorsements is found the strong reasons for ChaiilHuqtia!H necessary placo in tho sun during the high noon of world history. Theso strong reasons nro condensed in the self evident truth that Chau tauqua alfor 's the Government, first hand, tho largest possible opportunity for tint diffusion of light to tho masses upon the problem of the present world crisis. During tho coming yenr Chautauqua will reach in tho united States Canada and nearly 10.000 communities. and approximately 20,000,000 souls. from uvury onu ui uiosu join foims. through mutual co. operation of the Government with Chautauqua managers, will bo heard exports who will speak with tho vital authority of first hand information se- cured through personal inves-1 tigation nt the front. In extent, n this respect. Chautauqua's only rival is tho pross. I he aims and purposes of both are identical, but tho former has one advantage, for whilo the written words of experts are read individually, the spoken words of the same experts from the platform fasten attention more closely. Thay nre doubly effective too, in that the in formation is received en-masse, the acts rqviewed on mnsse. and unity of opinion and action upon same, thought out and forged en-masse.

Prcuent "PLAYS OF OUR ALLIES" To Double Mill's Capacity' Announcement of tho pur- nliiiHi! of t ha .InliL's f our nir mills at St. .lolniB by a syndicate composed of some well known , flour milling men of tho North- west was made Monday. The price was not made public. Tho ' avndiente. which nromlses to piny a prominent pnrt in milling, circles of this district, has just been incorporated under tho name of the Rose City Flour Mills, with a capital of $120. 000. Samuel Glasgow, of Spok ane, president oft lie Pasco Mill ing Company, is president; Lucas 11. Allen, of San Francisco, prominontCnllfomlo llourjobbor, vlco'prepident. niul M. G. Itussi, of Portland, a flour jobber, and Portland representative of the Pasco Milling Company, sec retary treasurer. Mr. Itussi will also serve as niHiingur of the mill. Tho directorate includes Adolphu Slshl. of New York, financial agent of the Guate malun government, and C. It. Shoemaker, of Kasco. Announcement of extmave improvements and enlargements was mado simultaneously with t lint of tho puichnsoof thopro porty from the Jobes Milling Company, of which Allen It. lobes was principal ownor. Some of th ie improvements are now under way. Work hits at ready been stalled toward in creasing the grain storage, and KB soon as possible the plant will i)e enlarged to double its preterit capacity of MX) barrels a day. Luc us II. Allen, of San , Francisco, who was in Portland If 1.... nn. Ill ... I m , ll ft lf.ff.il arrangement necessary to tak ing over the property, expressed a firm belief in the future of Portland and tl is section of the Pacific Northwest. "We were especially impressed with our new locution at Salem and liradfjnl streets, in the St. nhns district, because of the presence of the municipal giain elevator," said Mr. Allen. "This gives ns an ideal situation and makes it possible to handle unlimited quantities of grain, both by rail and water. In fact, the municipal elevator whs an important factor in ourdeciding to locate here." Just when the plant will be in creased to a capacity 1000 barrels a day is something which the new owners cannot state de finitely at this time owing to the impossibility of obtaining machinery, but they predicated that the enlargement would be mado within two year". "We may double our capacity o -on sooner than we expect," oxplained Mr. Allen. "Our Government and our a lias nood every pound of flour which can be milled, and if we can prjcure the necessary maclrncry and equipment' we will double our output as soon as it is i". asible." Samuel Glasgow, prj.identof tho new corporation, hps boon identified with the f oir mill ing interests of the r,r,ith west for more than 80 ycirs. Mr. Allen is head of the Henry F.

Currin Says So. Terms Ridiculous Germany's latest peace con- d t ona are a together too "mod- est," therefore, tho fight will go on. In a game of poker Germany's bluff might have some value, but in tho present war situation it is punk. Tho Kaiser had better take another look at his hand and see if he hasn't over-looked something. When this war is over, or before it goes very much farther, Germany will bo only too glad to take a mighty lot less than it asks for in its peaco proposal below: Great Britain must turn over its war fleet to Germany, return Gibraltar to Spain and restore Egypt and the Sue, canal to Turkey. Great Hrltain, Franco and thu United States must pay Germany an indemnity of at least $-15,000,000,000. Belgium and French torrltory must lie surrendered to Germany. Thefo nre among the conditions includ ed in the German peace program published in thu Nachrichten of Goerlit', Prussia, by Count Itoon a mem1 cr of the Piussian house of lords, according to a Havas dispatch from Basel, Switzer land. Count Boon says Germany is entitled to tho following tonus bucnuseof its strength, and until they are roalizod there should no armistice and no cossation of submarine warfare: Annexation of Belgium, with admistrnMvo autonomy In the interior. Independence of Flandors. Annexation of the entire Flanders coast, including Calais. Annexation of -the Briey and Longway basins and the Tool. Belfort and Verdun regions east ward. Restitution to Germany of all hor colonies, including Kaio CIlNtl. Great Britain to codetoGer many such naval bases and coaling stations as Germany designates. Gieece must be re established under former King Constantino with frontiors asboforo tho war. Austria and Bulgaria will divide Serbia and Montenegro. Great Britain, France and the United States must pay all of Gormany's war costs, the idem nity being minimum of$45,000, 000,000. They also must agree to deliver raw muterials immediately. Franco and Belgium aro to remain occupied at their expense until these conditions aro carried out. Use ono medium sized potato one and one-half cupfuls of flour, I throe and one-half teaspoonfuls 'of baking powder, one teaspoon ful of salt, two tahlespoonfuls of fat, one-eightlus cupful of con donsed milk, diluted with three eighths cupful of water. Sit dry ingredients, add potatoes land rub in the fat. Mix to a soft dough with.condensed milk, handling as little as possible. !

When strong nations aro flushing, people are thinking, want noes produce real Kwer in a nation? A nation s sirenuiu is measured by its health, its power by its wealth, but beyond these is the spirit wnu-n animates1 them. Time, money and health add to living a mar gin of happiness. The more time and money one can reason ably save, and the moro perfect the health, the wider tho mar gin of happiness. This book is intended as a signboard point ing out to others the wuy to a wider margin of happiness."
