The Masonic Home
It is expected that the Masonic
and Eastern Star Home Will be
ready for ooccupancy by St.
JohnB Day, Chriatmus week,
and that it will bo prepared with
ovory up-to-date convenience of
a large country home. The mem
bora of tho home are not to bo
classified as inmatcB, guests, pa
tients, pensioners or depend
ents. They are to be members of
the Masonic family of Ore
gon. Tho building will have cost
nearly $300,000 when completed
and fncludos a steam laundry,
ice and refrigerator plant, small
dairy and, modorn heating plant.
Tho building estimates exceeded
what tho total cost now prom
ises to be. Thore will bo accom
modations for a "family" of be
tween 75 and 80. in addition to
tho required numborof Bpecial-I
lata employed.
Tho building was completed
last Juno to a point to permit the'
laying of the cornorstone. No
Masonic homo building has been '
completed in a shorter time than
this ' was put through. It is. lo
cated.on a sightly and fertile 30
acre tract facing the highway
near Forest Grove and is iro-
v J rind with nvnrv mndnrn nirn.t.
sory. Far enough out from tho'
city not to be a part of Portland
it Is within easy automobile
drive. It has an admirable spe
cial sower ayBtcm, a beautiful
f:rovo and orchard and a swoop
ng view of a largo portion of
tho Tualatin valley.
At present tho pinBtcring is
nearly completed, tho plumbing
and henting systems arc being
Installed and a large consignment
ot Winter's wood has been de
livered. Tho building has been
constructed of enduring mate
rials, laid on cement, and en
ginoors who have inspected it
say that it is the host con
structed building of its size on
tho Pacific coast. The central
part of tho building is fronted
by a columned portico. Tho first
unit has been placed on the left,
and it, is intended to construct
another unit reaching tho other
way from tho center whenever it
is neoded. Back of the building
is located tho heating plant,
dining rooms, laundry and other
departments. It has been built
without a dollar of indebtedness,
in accordanco with Masonic tra
dition, and will bo maintained by
regular lovies upon tho member
ship, with sufficient sums assured
for its continuance Rules for
admission of mcmborfl havobeon
drafted after careful examina
tion of similar provisions by in
stitutions of a liko nature in
other states. Only Masona and
members of tho Order of tho
Eastern Star will bo admitted.
It is not an institution for profit,
nor for genoral charity. Its fam
ily will consist of thoso members
of tho two ordera who by reason
of advanced ago or immaturity
need the caro of homo surround
ings. Tho Order of the Eastern Star
of Oregon began more than
fifteen years ago to prepare for
a Masonic home. The good sis
ters never gave tho Masonic
brethren any rest until they,
too, got busy., Funds were
started over twelve years ago
and with Iho increase in mem
bership and tho steady accumu
lation of funds tho time ripened
for its final accomplishment. In
tho futiiro a children's homo
will bo established separate and
apart from the present home,
but probably on the same
grounds. There is plenty of
room for enlargement along any
fraternal lint-a sought Sell
wood Bee.
Since Oregon is blessed with
more scenic beauty and timber
than any other similar territory
in the United States, it is well
that wo should favor the pre
servation of all the government
is willing to take charge of.

Big Statue Placed
Patronize Home Merchants Regarding the Sewer Question
Bundled up in burlap and ex
celsior to prevent chipping of the
Btone. until it looked like a model
for Winter furs, the big statue
of tho Madonna which is to sur
mount tho new church of the
Assumption building in St.
Johns, was hoisted into place
September 17th. The fact that
tho statuo weighs more than
1200 pounds, and is modeled in
concrete, which might chip easily
under tho chafing of tho hoist
ing rope, made the task of lifting
and setting into place a delicate
one, and Building Superintend
ont E. J. Oberlo was on tho anx
ious seat from the time it Mt
tho ground until it was finally
settled into tho-bed of mortar on
its pedestal. The statue was de
signed for tho church by An
drea & Nitschke, local sculptors,
and the modeling was done by
L. Schubert. Tho church is be
ing built by tho Servito fathers
and is tho first erected in Ore
gon by this order. Over the door
is the monogram oi tno oraer,
surmounted by tho crown of
seven lilies, symbolic of tho
seven founders of tho order, tho
Florentine brethren of 1332. Tho
corner stone was laid on Juno
Cth, and the church will be oc
cupied in a few weeks, although
tho (into of dedication is not set
as yet. Father A. M. Mayer and
Father Hyacinth arc in chnrgo
of tho mission. Father Mayer is
from Chicago and was in
charge of the church built in
in Vancouver, British Columbin,
in recent years. Tho building in
St. Johns was designed by tho
Jncobberggcr architectural firm
and, nil tho material and con
struction has been from locnl
concerns. Tho interior finish will
bo especially rich and tho stained
glass windows will have de

Speculation is already rifo in
newspaper and musical circles
of this country as to whoso
shouldorn the "mantle" of tho
famous Enrico Caruso shall rest
upon. Tho Now York Evening
Globe mentions three: "Lucicn
Muratore," tho French tonor,
Benjamin GigH, th Italian, with
Mario Chamleo of tho Metropol
itan ns perhaps the most likely
ones. Mario Chamleo was born
in Los Angeles, Cah.of an Italian
father and an American mother.
Ho is now 33 years of age. In com
paring the early careers of tho
two Bingers they scorn to havo
undcrgono tho same oxporience,
even in tho military training,
for whilo Caruso joined tho Ital
ian army, Chamleo wbb in tho
great American army during tho
recent world conflict and served
with it in tho French campaigps.
Both live ip millions ot homes
on phonographic records. Is
America coming into its own in
producing the greatest musical
talent?
Oregon's superior system of
paved highways constitute tho
state's principal advertising as
set. Thousands of farmers
from tho Middle Western Btates
have toured through Oregon in
their automobiles during .ths
past year and largo numbers of
them are returning hero to IJvo.
The State Chamber of Com
merce receive many inquiries
from prospective settlers on Or
egon lands and from business
men attracted by the mild clim
ate and the fair future of the
Northwest Information will be
furnished on application, by
number, or to tho secretary of
the State Chamber of Commerce
at the Oregon building, Portland.
It takes a man about a year to
learn to talk and six or seven
years to write, and then it takes
him the rest of his life to learn
what not to writa. Polk County

In these days of automobiles,
rapid transit and paved ronds a
large number of people living in
communities and small towns
make regular trips to the nearest
large city to purchase their mer
chandise and other supplies that
they could just as well buy from
their local merchants. Havo you
over stopped to figure the worth
of your timo taken up in
making those trips? Add to this
your car fare or gasoline, oil,
wear-and-tear cost, and in many
cases the trouble of carrying
these goods to your home. Figure
this up and oee how little you
save, if anything. Remember,
too, ti nt many favors tendered
by your local merchant, in many
cases special delivery and credit.
Also that your local merchant
b very convenient when you run
out of some commodity. Ho is a
benefit to your community be
cause he is a business man und
residont. The fact that these
business houses aro in your
town makes it more inviting to
home seekers. Were there no
stores in your town theBC people
would look elsewhere for a home-
site. When anticipating buying
anything clsewhcro stop and
think what it means to your
town if these merchants were
forced to close their doors for
lack of business caused by the
local residonts taking their pat
ronage clsewherejit would not bo
long before your community
would go backwards. Pcoplo
would move out and no now ones
would como in. Ex.
Peoploin Oregon wero never
ns well housed, ad well dressed
and have never enjoyed so many
comforts, even luxuries, as they
do today. Any aighing for "tho
good old days ' is merely n Inuso
of memory.-Forcat Grove Times.
There appears to be a move on
foot at present to construct
. three sewer systems, called the
St. Johns Avenue, uswego street
and Oregonian Avenue systems,
covering a large territory, at an
estimated cost oi $zzo,uuu or
$160 per lot of 50x100 feet We
all admit tho desirability and
advantages of sewers, provided
we can spare tho chango to pay
for them. But before we all sign
a petition for sewers at this
time, let us count the cost a little.
In the first place, there aro a
number of Btreets in tho district
that havo macadam roadway
in tho center that cost a lot of
monoy and aro good for suvcal
years service yet, that would be
destroyed if tho sewer was dug
in tho center of tho street.
What then? Why either wallow
in tho mud or pave the street, at
an additional cost of at least
$300 a lot. a total of $450 a lot.
Of course, a little matter of $150
a lot does not worry tho man
that dies not own any, but to the
small home owner it may and in
many cases, will mean confisca
tion of his property. I can show
many instances in this district
of pcoplo that have bought
homes on installments and have
partly paid for them, that could
not stund tho additional assess
ment, on top of their present in
debtedness, and would be forced
to give up all. Property can
only bo bonded for tho amount
of the assessed value of tho land;
any amount above that would
havo to bo paid in cash, and if
the owner did not hnvo the
cash tho property would bo sold
for tho city lien, if a buyer
could bo found. A largo per
centage of tho property in this
proposed sower project is al
ready bonded forBtreot improve
ments,, some of it to the legal lim
it, and any now liens would have
tobe paid in cash, and in many
cases it could not be done, which
would simplv confiscate the
properly. With taxes now at
44.8 mills and likely to bo 50
mills next yenr, I think it is
time to very carefully consider
the question of taking on such
an expensive job nt this timo. It
is very nice to havo paved
streets and sewers and all that,
but I would rather have a littlo
home, all my own, without ex
tras than to plunge into debt
and finally move out and seo
some other fellow take it all.
Yours truly S. C. Cook.

"Let your light shine," said
tho Man of Gnllileo. It may not
be an arc light; it may be only
n flicker of a candle. You can
see tho last as well as tho first.
Seo it? Yes, on tho mountain
top and in tho valley. Let it shine ;
do not cover it up. You wero
mado to shine. It is not your
fault if you aro not a locomotive
headlight, but it is your fault if
you do not shine, lhat is what
an up-to-date, honest, American
is for. Ho is to shine; he is to
help illuminate the world: ho is
to reflect according to his abil
ity. And that we may all shine
to our fullest extent in this life
and refloct upon our fellqw be
ing that light of gratitude wo
owe to Him which can be exem
plified in the truth only
through that spirit of fraternal
ism that we bo much desire, to
bo shown to us. Wo cannot ex
pect to reap unless wo sow.
Therofore, if wo but scatter a
few seeds of kindness upon fer
tile soil, the result will bo greater
achievements in our every en
deavor, by and through such
practice. It is needless for mo
to recount to you, who are nlBo
well acnuaintcd with tho facts,
of tho brilliant history of what
has been and what may be ac
complished by tho laying aside
tho garb of selfishness, that wo
may asniro to creator things.
This action by us will earn for
itself its own monuments and at
tain its long desired rank in the
scale of human progress, Lot us
do nur utmost to prevent tho oc
currence of any tiling that may
opposo itu onward march to still
grcator pro-eminence and dis
tinction. Frnternalism should
bo our animating principle and
should bo deservedly cherished
by ub ao tho great pillar of uo
cinl intercourse and human hup
pinesB.and returning the homage
of a grateful heart to the Su
preme Helng for the guardian
euro with which lie lias nursed
ua to tho ackowlcdgement, to
buniBh for all time discord and
disunion, and putting the seal
of disapprobation upon those who
would pull down in institution
created for purposes revered by
the good and respected by the
virtuous. Let us invoke a con
tinuance of such blessings. May
we bo guided and directed in our
councils and temper our delibor
artions with wisdom and judg
ment thnt wo may prosido over

Now is the Time
If you have anything to sell or
trade, advertise the fact in the
Review. It brings results. The
cost is very reasonable.
The Review has more than
6,000 readers and there is no better
advertising medium.
Now is the time to secure ad
vertising space. Keep trade at
home. There is no better way
than advertising. Begin now and
keep it up.
Ambition and Success
It is very noticable that those who have tho am
bition to save will and are succeeding through the
same source.
Starting in a modest way the practice become
a habit and the results enormous This is giving to
yourself the full value of every dollar earned.
Wc could recommend nothing better.
