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

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

noticed and there was a general
expression of faith expressed in

Which One?
The following poetry which is
anonymous, was found in tho
desk of the late S. C. Cook. It
is entitled "Which One:"
One of us, dear
Rut one
Will sit by a bed with marvelous
fear
And clasp a hand
Growing cold as it feels for tho
spirit land
Darling, which one?
One of us", dear
But OtlL
Will stand by the otficr's coflln
bier
And look and weep
While thos, marble lips strange
silence keep
Darling, which one t
One of us, dear
Rut out
Ry an open gruvo will drop a
tear,
And homeward go,
The anguish of an unshared grief
to know
Darling, which one?
One of us, darling, it must be,
It may be you will slip from me:
Or perhaps my life may first be
done;
I'm glad we do not know
Which One.
factories to handle increase in
business'. 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.

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. Hillsboro livened
things up a bit in the sixth in
ning when with two errors and a
hard drive to the left Held fence
that hit on a 2x1 only to bounce

over for a home run. This result
ed in three runs and settled the
outcome of the game, as the pit
chers on both sides tightened and
twirled excellent ball. Davis,
the star lirst sucker of the Port
land Woplen Mills, was the hero
of one of the niftiest catches seen
on the Hilsboro lot. fie nipped
a possible rally in the third in
ning when he tore in and dug a
sure hit out of the ground, at the
same time running to the bag for
an out. Hargravcs at third and
Peterson at second had good lid
ding days and the catching of
uolricn was ot high order. Man
ager Foss in eenterfleld had sev
eral good running catches and
along with his brother Kd. led
the team in hitting, each getting
three safe drives. (I ray and Hues
sing were nicked for l." hits, and
harsen yielded but 8. Strikeouts
were -I against !), favoring the
winning team. 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

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

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.
