By increasing its capital stock
to the two million dollar mark
the Peninsula Lumber Company
shows an abiding faith in this
part of the country that is re
freshing. More than that, it
proves their faith Hint condi
tions will be good for some time
to come, nnd gives further as
suranco of the permanency of
better conditions on the Penin
sula.
Seems a strange and most tin
called for requirement that when
a man wants to reshiugle his
homo he must first make a trip
to the city mill, till out a ones
tlonairo" and contribute a dollar
in return for a pormit. Of all
the petty, irritating and provok
ing requirements of tho fair city
of Portland, necessity for a per
mit to rip off old shingles and
put on now is. wo bono, the
worst. It is surely trying the
patience of humanity a little
too far when a man cannot put a
ryjw roof over his head to keep
out tho elements without lirst
paying for the privilege. Time,
indeed, that the maze of red
tape, inspection, regulations and
requirements be overhauled and
tho unnecessary ones cast into
utter oblivion. Tho building
regulations might bo a good
place to start oil.
Skinning tho shipbuilders!
inai is a mild term for the treat
mont accorded tho Paciliu coast

road freight rates on steel Imve
been raised 1)2 per cent from
Pittsburg and 105 per cent from
Chicago to Paciliu count points.

. The 450 employes of the Port
land Woolen mills will enjoy a
housewarming in their new club
house adjoining tho factory
buildings next Monday. The
furnishings will not all be in
stalled by that time and a more
formal opening is arranged to
take place later. The building
will be thrown open for the em
ployes before it is entirely ready
because they wanted the mana
ger of the mills, C. H. Carter, to
enjoy their first festivity there
with them. Mr. Carter leaves
next week for a stay of Bcveral
months in eastern states in the
interests of the business.
The club houso is tho consum
mation of a dream of E. L.
Thompson, president of the com
pany, who has planned for mnny
years to erect somo such struc
ture to add to the comfort and
enjoyment of all who worked
with him. Tho building is a
lath nnd concrete structure, with
spacious wood porches running
all around. It is provided with
all tho comforts nnd conveniences
of a private social or athletic
club. The main hall of tho build
intr is a lanre uuditorium convert
iblc into a dancing hall or dining
room. A small dining room for
the overseers adjoins tho main
hall. Senarato lounging nnd
rest rooms arc provided for the
use of men and women employes.
A huge fireplace is n feature of
ench. Locker rooms arc provid
ed with individual lockers. On
tho basement floor a gymnasium
and bow ni: alley arc being in
stalled. The management of the
club will be in tho hands of an
organization of tho employes
who will be assisted in arrang
ing entertainment, games, con
tests, etc.. by a welfare worker
employed by the company. Ex-
(luisitc color effects in tho inte
rior decorations of tho building
are enhanced by an unusual light
ing scheme. Kone-gray tones
are used, both in the interior wall
effects and on the exterior of
the building. The architect who
planned and supervised the con
struction of tho building is Lew
is I. Thompson, son of rJ. I
Ihompson. The building itse
has cost tho comimnv approx
mutely $20,000 ami it is estimat
cd that its annual maintenance
will involve an expenditure
about $5000.

this morning, F.C. Ivnapn, pros
ident or the company, said:
"It is tliu purpose of tho ofli

"One of tho unfortunate thinua
about the lumber business is

fee that their work is necessar

have given them reason onough

ol tho fact that a lease of many

ui.d being city proporty, there
will be no taxes to pay on tho

ing situated with, easy access to
tho water front nnd railroad
with terminal rates, nnd a pro
jected street car extension, a
veritablo beehive of activity is
bound to umiio in North St.
Johns at no distant date; in fact,
it ia already started. So with
what is assured, in connection
with what is projected, there
can bo little fear that St. Johns
will be up and coming for all
timo to come. Such being tho
case, nono should hesitato to
build. Empty or vacant houses
are a thing of the past. A now

the need of moro houses has be

would seem profitable to build

Dear Mary:
I don't see why so many women pay so much atten
tion to the pictures on their walls and so little to the rugs
on their floors.
The beauty of a home begins with its rugs and ends
there if they are not 'pretty. I'm as proud of my rugs as
I am of my pictures. Why, my rugs have become my
friends, they give me such a warm welcome whenever I
come into tho house.
Your affectionate HELEN. .
P. S. Go down and get those rugs you need from
