The St. Johns Hardware Co.
has installed a pipele3S furnace
that is proving a great comfort
and convenience.
John Brown at Sheridan, Oro
gon. in .1017, bought some land
which had been farmed for 35
years. From ten acres of logan
berries he this year harvested
45 tons, netting him enough to
moro than pay for tho 37 acres
ho bought. He sold his berries
for 8 cents a pound or $7200.
Tho incoming and the outgo
ing of the tides is caused by the
gravitational influence of the
moon. Tho moon, so to spoak,
draws or lifts tho water from
tho depths on tho samo principle
that a pump lifts water. And
aa with a pump, the water
rushes in to fill tho space left;
so tho shallow wator near shore
rushes out to fill the extra space
caused by rising of tho wator.
on tho principlo that water seeks
its own level.

Oretron citizens will havo to
use good judgment at coming
election to steor th3 old ship of
state clear of the shoals which
are threatening in the shapo of
proposed freak legislation. The
old single tax measure is again
on the ballot and a now proposi
tion to reduce the legal rate of
interest to four and five percent.
This latter measure would make
it absolutely imnossible to bor
row money in Oregon, for who
would loan it to individuals at
this rato when they could invest
in safe government, state and
municipal securities drawing
creator interest with no risk in
volved. Such a measure would
nut Oregon on the financial black
list of tho world and the small
borrower could never get a dollar.
Oregon haB voted down radical
measures fot years and it will
hnvo to do so once more. Indus

It is a matter of some incon
venience, to say tho least, that
the Cast St. Johns depot should
bo located where it is. Especially
islthis truc.totho traveler bound
for St. Johns who gets off the
train there after dark. In wet
weather is it particularly dis
agreeable to wado through the
mud on the badly lighted
thoroughfare loading to St. Johns
proper. In fact many people pre
fer going on into Portland and
thon make tho long trio back by
stnsot car rather than get off
tho railroad cars at tho I'Just St.
Johns depot after night. It is
ulso inconveniently located for
freight ami express, ilio log
ical location for the dopot, it
would seem, is at tho cut at
Lombard street, where tho sta
tion could bo erected on tho high
ground with an elevator system
arranged to transfer passengers
und freight to and from tho
tracks below. Why should not
this change bo made, can any

U. S. Labor Bureau statistics
have strikingly indicated the
extent to which prices ha 'c ad
vanced in the lumber industry
and in agriculture. A bushel of
corn ov wheat will buy more
lumber now than before the war,
as will a bale of cotton or a
rnzor-bnek hoir. It is true that
prices ore higher than they were
three years ago and that a dollar
will not buy so much as then
would, but it is also true that
tho lumberman's dollar has less
purchasing value, lirinuing out
these facts is timely in view of
tho urgent necessity, felt
throughout the country, for
greater building during tho
present year and during tho
coming year. Tho price of
lumber has advanced and nrobab
ly will iro hiirhcr. This naturally
irritates tho man who desires
to build and he experiences a
desire to wait, to "hold off"
11 tho hone that there will ho
a reduction. Itehind this hope
is a vague idea that tho lumber
munis "profiteering." Tho fur
mer is among thoso who enter
tain an idea that this "profiteer
inn" exists. Yet the farmer.
for a given quantity of products
from his acres is ablo to obtain
moro lumber than tho same
quantity of this products would
have assured Inn prior to l'JM.
In the northwest ?:100,000,(H)0
is invested in lumber iiianu
racturing. 125.U0O men aro
employed and 7,500,000,000 cut
unnua ly. Tho lumber industry
is ono of tho foundation stones
of prosperity in Northwest and
Pacific coast states. -raclffc

HIGH SCHOOL -NOTES
First Assistant Superintendent
of Portland schools. Mr. Kico.
was u James John visitor last
week.
Every one was glad of a holi
day on Armistice Day.andwoarc
looking forward to our next noli
day, which will beThanksglving.
Friday, Nov. 7th, ended tho
second quarter of this semester.
Many will bo faint hearted be
fore wo receive our cards, which
will be on Wednesday or Thurs
day. The sixth period was elimina
ted on Monday and tho time was
spent in an assembly in obser
vance 01 Armistico Day. Mr,
Georgo and Mr. Bay were in
charge. Short talks were given
by Oliver Jessup, who was in
training with tho marines at
Maro's Island, but ho saw no
active service. Oliver said he
was looking for a soft job, so
rrhen tho officer wanted chauf
fers, he voluntoored, and was
nut to work scrubbing decks.
Edmund Kugcll had tho floor
next. Ho was in tho Navy rtnd
is at present in tho Reserves.
The Germans heard ho was going
"over there," so thoy decided
'twas best to sign tho Armistico.
Earl Pruit.tho ladies' man, joined
the Marines and thought lie
would see tho world and learn
trades. Ho saw very little of tho
world and tho trade ho learned
was dish washing. Tho only ono
of tho speakers that crossed tho
"pond" was "Vic" Brown, who
saw service on tho Mexican bor
der, and was among tho first
few thousand to go across. Vic
spent nineteen months in France,
but was in England when tho
Armistico was signed. Mr.
Georgo was tho last speaker.
Ho spout two years in tho navy,
or training camps and like
Oliver, was on tho lookout for a
soft job, so did the same thing
Oliver did, but the results were
diircront. Ho ran u wheel bar
row, und was stationed in Chi
cago when tho Armistico was
signo.1. All speakers kept tho
audionco laughing. Gladys
Kcuny sang "Keep tho Home
Fires Burning," Erma Griswold
sang "Tho Uattle ltymn 01 Tlio
ltopublic." Muriel lhomas sang
Adilene Eggmon sang tho "Star
l l.UIIK, J. I (III, 1IIIU
Spangled Banner." Everyoho
sang other songs, Mr. Bay bar
