Seeley sent a marked copy of a paper to this ollice with request to please copy, We refuse for two reasons. We can't make out what it says, and it may be contrary to our politics All hands have had a try at it, but nothing doing. We tried to read it sitting standing and standing on our heads. Dut it's Yeddish, and we simply can't get the drift of the argument. Here are a few linos, just to show Seeley that we are not using the censor and want to" stand in with him during the fruit season, but we wish to em phatically slate that we do not endorse a single word of it. As nearly as we can translate it it starts off like this: "II! II-. . Let us see what kind of a Dem ocrat you are this year. The Courier has" started a campaign fund to help along the election of a candidate for president who has no "barrel" to open. Give just what you feel like giving arid what you can afford to give. If you can't give a hundred dollars, give a hundred cents, and if you can't give twenty-five dollars, we will gladly add your two-bits to the fund. This movement is en dorsed by the Democratic organ ization of this county, and every cent will bo published and turned over to the committee. De a loyal Democrat this year, and help a little to make Woodrow Wilson our next president. Three weeks ago the Courier had an item that fifty cases of typhoid were reported at Pow ell River, B. C. Edward Sheahan writes that we were misinformed and says: "In reality there were nineteen cases, all but one being of a mild type. There has not been any new cases for the past four weeks. None of the afflicted persons lived in the village of Powell River. In fact there has never been a case of typhoid in the village or the hotels located there. The trouble originated in one of the construction mess houses, located below the village on the ocean beach where two hundred and fifty men are fed. The cause was quickly found and corrected. And, there has been no recurrence of the trouble." Grange Endorses Governor West. Be it resolved by Harding Grange in regular convention as sembled, that we heartily endorse the law enforcement and anti- vice crusade inaugurated by Gov ernor Oswald West. We are hop. ing for a great measure of suc cess at present and a greater measure in the future, in the way of better laws and better enforce ment. Resolved that a copy of this resolution be sent to Governor West and also to the Oregon City Courier and Enterprise and rthe Portland Oregonian, Tele gram and Journal. Jim Partlow Wnts to Know. Jim Partlow wants to know where this difference comes in. He says a man will come to his farm and buy a chicken for 35 cents, eat all the chicken and have the wishbone to pull. But the other man will go to a restaurant where a chicken din ner is served, get one leg or a wing of the hen and pay 50 cents for it. And Partlow says fuel is cheap in Oregon.

The modern track laying uiuoblue should not be coufu-sud with truck lny ing tools, as this nmclilne is not u tool, but a real machine that actually lays tracks, says the Sclentitlc American The machine moves steadily forward over the track It luys at a rate of from twelve to forty feet per minute. At the rear of the truck laying machine are cars loaded with tics uud rails. The cars which carry the ties are iu ad Vance of those carrying the rails. The rails ure drawn forward on rollers and are connected temporarily one to the other. As the rails pnss under the oars which carry the ties the latter are dis tributed upon the rails nnd spaced apart uniformly. The ehaln of rails thus serves to transport the ties toward the track laying machine. As the .rails enter the machine the ties are picked up by a conveyor and carried overhead. They are distributed ou the roadbed at the end of a truss that reaches far In advance of the main body of the track laying machine. The rails In the mean time are carried forward and deposited upon ties previously laid. The truss may be swung to one side or the other In order to allow for passing around curves. The track laying machine Is self propelling. It hauls n train of twenty five cars of material, more or less dc pending upon the grade. A train ol twelve cars will carry enough material for a mile of track. This machine, with eighteen men, including splkers, can lay and bolt and spike a half a mile of track per day. With a larger force of men two miles of track may be laid in a single day. KEEPS AUTO IN ROAD. Spring Attachment Prevent! Wheelt From Turning Atide Easily. .

The arrow polsou used by the In dians of Colombia has been found to be the secretion of the skin of a small frog. The arrows are eight ineb palm spines, which are shot from a blow gun about fourteen feet long, nnd the hunter carries the frog along lu a hol low bamboo in order that be tuny have the poison in a fresh condition. A simple prick of the skin yields the poi son drop when needed. When one of the arrows enters the body of even a large animal, such as a jaguar, mon key or deer, paralysis ijulckly follows, and the victim Is then easily killed The use of the poison, It Is said, does not affect the flesh of the animals kill ed, which is quite harmless when eat en, Two French naturalists bove made experiments with the edible frog, Itana osculenta, showing that Its skin exudes a similar polsou when Ir ritated and tbat an extract prepared from the skin glveB In guinea pigs the same symptoms as Inoculation with the arrow poison.

GLADSTONE' SONG OF SUNSHINE (f This is the season of the year when nature smiles most lavishly on picturesque "Gladstone-on-the-Oackamas," and the long-looked-for sun shine, with the occompanying "Indian Summer" has brought out most effectively the natural beauties of the quaint little suburban town. (J Early in the week the sun burst forth in all its radiance, and the coming of the sunshine was the signal for a continuous stream of land buyers, home-seekers, investors and just plain "sight-seers" at our office in Gladstone, and our agent, Mr. P. A. Cross, has been kept busy all week showing the large number of excellent homesites which we are selling out at prices and terms to suit the buyer. I You'd be surprised to know the number of lots that we sold last week and during the rainy weather, too. It proved to us con clusively the merit of our proposition, which should interest every renter and home-seeker in the county. BUT J Apropos of the sunshine, let us forget for a minute that you can pay for the lots you buy from us in one. two, three, four, five, or even six years; let us overlook the fact that Gladstone's $20,000.00 municipal water system is now in full operation, and that we have every convenience and facility of modern cities; let us close our eyes to the fact that if you get sick after signiag up for a homesite with us, we will allow you to discontinue your lot payments for one, two or three months, and if you should die during your-payments, your representatives can re scind your contract altogether and we will pay back both in terest and principal in full. Let us forget all for a minute and stop to consider some of the things this welcome sunshine is bringing out down our way the natural beauty of Gladstone, which we are just simply "throwing in" on top of our most generous offer. (J Nestling against the north bank of the Clackamas river,, where not many years ago Rudyard Kipling fished its swirling eddies, our property extends eastward to "Chautauqua Park," oue of Oregon's beauty spots, a 75-acre tract of unexcelled nat ural beauty. On the north we have lots for sale adjoining forests of pine and fir trees which extends Portlandwards for some distance. Then again we have a large tract of lots in the very heart of this ideal setting which are as level as a billiard table, and need absolutely no work of improvement on the part of the homebuilder. And ALL of these lots are bounded on the west by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co., which with three stops iu Gladstone furnishes easy access and an excellent half hour service to and from Portland and Oregon City. Doesn't the location ALONE approach the ideal suburban townsite pretty close? (J Then too, we hold a building restriction of $1000 on these lots wo offer for sale, a very modest restriction, and yet one which insures the builder a neighborhood of homes which will in no way blemish the natural beauty of Gladstone. (J Can you imagine a nicer place for a home? (J Do you know that under our terms of payment a man work ing for $4('.00 a month can pay for the finest lot we have for sale, and still he won't have to "pinch?" (f Come and talk it over with us. We can start you out on genuine independence, and will gladly do so if you convince us that you really desire to own a home of your own. Our offer on both price and terms closes Nonember I .
