Conditions Improving Returning from an extensive trip through Eastern and Middle states, J. N. Edlcfscn, president of the Peninsula National Rank, reports a very prosperous and hopeful condition of , business coupled with a general feeling of optimism which existed thru out the cities and places visited by him. Combining business and a desire to mnko a personal Hurvey of conditions throughout tho country,' Mr. Edlcfscn, in company with Thos.

Leaving New York for 'Cleveland, Detroit, Ray City and Saginaw, Micltf gave an opportu nity to visit some of the greater manufacturing districts where 'most favorable activities were noted. Certain industries had suffered severely in the general chaos pending the return to nor malcy, but throughout the entire trip no serious condition was noticed and there was a general expression of faith expressed in tho many interview obtained re garding the immediate future. Markets, money, credits and la bor situations wero well settled in most instances except for the textile strike in the New England states and apprehension felt for the effect on tho iron and steel business in Pennsylvania owing to the pending coal strike, which condition was also noticeable in Wyoming and Utah. As to agri culture, farmers have met with serious handicap in prices the past two seasons, but with tho coming crops, which aro predict ed as better than normal, there is expected a great improvement in that fluid.

An unusual hardship has hceit the lot of many locali ties this season owing to unprec edented Hood conditions which have destroyed much life and property. . Several prominent Portlanders were met on the trip and a pleas ant feature encountered in sever al cities was the esteem in which Portland as a city and Oregon in general were held by parties who have toured the Northwest. Portland's publicity program as carried on through the activities of Mr. Frank Rrauch Riley lias met with more than ordinary success, aeording to Mr. Edlef sen, and Mr. Riley is pronounced as meeting with great favor as nn orator and demonstrator of the beauties of Portland and tho state of Oregon. Tho Thirteenth Annual Rail given by tho Rachclor Club in tho St. John skating rink on May J 1th was a wonderful success and the occasion will I'liger long in memory of those who wero able to attend. The club had decora ted the hall so that it was a beauty to the eye. In fact noth ing was left undone to make the evening ono of happiness. Over two hundred couples crowded tho floor and made merry until mid night. Darby's seven piece or chestra was up to their advance notice and reputation as leaders in their lino of entertainment. NEKT1ES ROGERS. for St. Johns Fhone Columbia 1492 Furniture tore Won From Hillsboro Tho Portland Woolen Mills bnso ball team which is entered in the Willamette Valley League journeyed to Hillsboro last Sun day and administered a neat trimming to the team from that town. The Woolen Mill team opened the season in Hillsboro three weeks ngo and lost a heart breaking battle to them by the score of 5 to 0, when the local squad went to pieces in tho last inning, letting in all the runs scored during the game, bunday the home team 'traveled out with the purpose of wiping out the previous stain, and when the last man was out the score stood 15-8 in favor of the Portland Woolen Mills. As Hillsboro had not been defeated heretofore this season the win came as a sur prise to the many followers of the national sport, and to Malin ger Foss it meant that his team was to bo considered real factor in the race for championship honors. The game was much more exciting than the score would indicate and was lilted with heavy hitting, base running and the usual umpire baiting. The local team proceeded to waste no time in winning the game as in the llrst three innings they amassed eleven runs and drove Gray off the mound, to be succeeded by Huessing, who, by tho way, fared much better. With such a commanding lead the local boys took things easy and were content with playing safe. This sort of tactics cost several un earned runs.

Hargravcs at third and Peterson at second had good lid ding days and the catching of uolricn was ot high order.

Sunday at LMth and Vaughn streets the Portland Woolen Mills team crosses bats with their ancient rivals, Stand ard Oil. A real struggle is scheduled as the rivalry between these two squads is second to none in the circuit on account of their championship clash last season which the Oil players won. Standard Oil is striving more to win this game than any other and figures the local play ers to be the dark horse of the six teams in the league. The lar gest crowd of independent cir cles will no doubt be on hand to witness these two teams tangle, as ineir respective lonowers arc numerous. The game is schedul ed to start nt '2:'M. Reported.

Diversity of Opinion The stylemakers of Paris seem to be at loggerheads over where abouts of the feminine waistline this season. One dressmaker in sists that it will be midway be tween the hips and the knees. Another claims that it will be di agonal, ascending from a point four inches above the right knee to a point one inch below the the left hip. Some put it above the hips and others below. This controversy reveals a rather as tonishing state of affairs. We had always believed that a girl's waist could be in only one place and that, seated beside her on a sofa, we could slip our arm around that place without the aid of a diagram, an autopsy or an exploring expedition. Is it possible that we were all wrong? Or are girls different in Paris? Many a man is charmed with tlie memory of the waists that his arm encircled in bygone days. Is he now to Unit that these arc all delusions and that the waist he thought he was hugging was only an elbow? This is a serious matter and ought to he settled one way or another. Houtdalc Citizen.

Charleston The Country Lifo One of the great satisfactions of country life is the superior chiincc it offers to raise families of children. People who live in cities arc constantly complaining of the disadvantages of their lo cations and they long for conn- try surroundings. Their child ren mingle with the gangs of the city streets, and they pick up more undesirable ideas in an hour than their parents can get out of their heads in a week. The city children have usually no ad equate spaco iu which to play. If they play iu tho public streets they are in danger of getting run over, and if they play on private laud somebody is indignant and orders them oil'. Iu tho country, how different? There is ample land where they can enjoy their games free from interference. They can run and yell and make all the noise they please, and no fussy neighbors arc telephon ing for them to he suppressed. Country life is full of activities that the children enjoy. There arc plenty of tasks of work that they can take hold of, and both make themselves useful and Hud their energies fully occupied. In stead of hanging around the house asking what they shall do next, they enjoy watching the men who arc conducting the tasks of the town and the farms, and iu assisting at those tasks. They are out of doors more. If given good attention their bodies rapidly grow strong and hearty iu the open air, instead of being cooped up in narrow tenements in cities. Their initiative is de veloped. They can have little enterprises of their own, gar dens, poultry, farm animals, thai make them resourceful and teach them early to be little men anil women. They do not acquire tho prococious smartness of city life , but they learn real wis dom and power to do things. It is a profound satisfaction to watch their growth under these health giving conditions. -r-Hs.
