City Enterprise Don't Agree I note that a few very few I am glad to state Oregon newspapers fell for the free boiler plate bunk and printed Elihu Root's attack on Presi dent Wilson's war administration. This matter of letting New York pol-J iticians edit Oregon newspapers was taken up at the recent state editorial association, but there were not enough independent editors to make it stick. So some of the newspapers continue to be the dog's tails and will put over anything political the campaign com mittees will send them because it is free and helps to "fill up." (Beliton County Courier.) But the Oregon City Enterprise printed the Root boiler plate all the six columns of it.

Angel. "If there is a big sawmill that is undecided as to a location, where it can ship thirty carloads of lum ber every day and pay out a big pay roll every month, Estacada and the P. R. L. & P. Co., might modestly hold out a little bait to attract such an industry. "Still, little can be expected from a community that has no commercial organization to look after such op portunities and a transportation line that makes little effort to secure in dustries." (East Clackamas News.) And it seems to us, if we remem ber rightly, that there's an idle mill right at the end of the Willamette Valley Southern in Oregon City, too, Perhaps if the county seat Commer cial club didn't resemble the Estacada organization so much, we might find a way of changing that idle mill into a busy one. CRUISING COST FIGURED His Age Is Against Him "I am 52 years old and I have Been troubled with kidneys and bladder for a good many years," writes Arthur Jones, Allen, Kas. "My age is against me to ever get cured, but Foley Kidney Pills do me more good than anything I ever tried." Many people suffer from kidney trouble who need not suffer when they can get Foley Kidney Pills. Mr. Jones, in a later letter, says if it was not for them he would never be able to work in the hay field. Rheumatism, aching back, shooting pains, stiff joints, all have been relieved. Jones Drug Co. SMALL TOWN LEADS ALL Hershey, With 812 People, Leads in Buying Red Cross Seals Hershey, Pennsylvania, with a pop ulation of but 812 people, made the best record in last winter's sale of Rod Cross stamps, averaging 29.04 stamps sold for each person in the community. Kimballton, Iowa, with 300 people, averaged 18 stamps to each inhabitant. Several competi tions were held between states and communities in the sale of these "lit tle bullets" with which to fight the white plague; and results have just been tabulated by the American Red Cross. In the competition between states, Rhode Island won first place in states with a population of up to 1,250,000, the total sale being 2.29 seals per in habitant, while Connecticut wins see- ona place witn a sale or Z.U7 per capita. In states with a population from 1,250,000 to 2,400,000, Minne sota wins first prize with a sale of 1.34 per capita, and Maryland second, with a sale of 0.72. In the most pop ulous states, having a population of over 2,400,000, New York wins first place, with a sale of 1.8 per capita, and Wisconsin second, with a sale of 1.40. Towns and cities that made good records are as follows, the figures after each community showing the number of Red Cross seals sold for each unit of population: Philip, S. D., 15.138; Garden City, N. Y., 21.936; Lawrence, N. Y., 8.966; Bronxville, N. Y., 19.440; Coining, N. Y., 6.858; Charleston, W. Va., 5.062; . Fort Wayne, Ind 4.724; Buffalo, N.

THEY HAD FUN, TOO Saturday of Last Week Celebrated in Usual Style by Youngsters There were quite a lot of young folks in the county seat last Satur day, and some of them had grey hair. They called politely to passing stran gers that they'd dropped something, and when the strangers turned round to recover their lost property, the youngsters shouted "April Fool." There were also the usual nunf ber of telephone calls. People were requested to call up Mr. Fish at a certain number, and on calling found that they were connected with the Clackamas hatchery. Also there were calls for "Mr. Cort" at the justice court, for "Mr. Locke" and "Mr. Mills" at the Willamette paper mills, and such gentle jokes. There were pocket-books with strings tied to them lying on the sidewalks for the un wary; and there were little tags on peoples' backs. Altogether the youngsters had a good time on April Fool's day and as we remarked, some of the youngsters had grey hair. Federal Field Parties Covered 88,000 Acres During Past Season . The Portland office of the Forest Service has just compiled a state ment, showing ' the amount and de tailed cost of the cruising projects carried on during the past field sea son, on the National Forests of Ore gon and Washington. According to this statement, the various field par ties covered 88,000 acres, mapping the topography on a scale of four inches to the mile, and estimating the tim ber by taking an actual tally of 10 percent of the trees. -. Each year the Forest - Service cfuises certain tracts of timber, upon which there is a demand for the sale of stumpage, and ultimately it is the plan to so map and cruise all the com mercial timber land on the National Forests. The work in 1915 was done by four different" parties working in six different localities. The largest project was that in the Burnt River district on the Whitman National Forest in eastern Oregon, where 33,000 acres were mapped and cruis ed. Considerable work was also done on the Olympic National Forest in western Washington, where over 25,000 acres were mapped, and on the Oregon National Forest in Hood River County, Oregon, where another 25,000 acres were mapped. On most of the projects the cost of the cruising was between 7 and 22 cents per acre, the yariation being due to the difference in the density of the forest and the roughness of the topography. The average cost for each thousand feet cruised was about five mills. In the entire season near ly 1,100 miles of cruising strips and survey lines were run by the parties. RADIUM SELDOM SEEN Useful Mineral t Usually Found in Compounds; Is Hard to Isolate Radium is a metal and is describ ed as having a white metallic lusver. It has been isolated only once o twice and few people have seen it. Radium is ordinarily obtained from its ores in the form of hydrous sul phate, chloride, or bromide, and is in the form of these salts that it is usually sold and used. These are all white or nearly white substances, whose appearance is no more remark able than common salt or baking powder. Radium is found in nature in such exceedingly small quantities that it is never visible even when the material is examined with a micro scope. Ordinarily radium ore carries only a small fraction of a grain per ton of material and radium will never' be found in large quantity because It is formed by the decay of uranium, a process which is wonderfully slow, and radium itself decays and chang es to other elements so rapidly that it is impossible for it to accumulate naturally in visible masses. Minerals that carry radium, however, are fair ly easy to determine. 4 One of them, pitchblende, as gen erally found, is a black mineral about as heavy as ordinary iron, but much softer. The principal mineral carno tite, has a bright, canary-yellow color and is generally powdery. There are other radium-bearing, minerals of less importance. EDITOR IN DISTRESS GOVERNOR SEES LIGHT "Honor System" Started by Former Governor West Is To Be Revived In order to save the heavy expense of keeping a large body of men on the slate payroll as penitentiary and road guards, Governor Withycombe has decided to adopt the policy made famous by former Governor West, and restore the "honor system" to convicts working outside the peni tentiary. Governor Withycombe has been doing some figuring, and has discovered that it doesn't pay the state to maintain a heavy guard over its convicts when the men can be placed on their honor and not es cape with any more frequency. The matter has been brought be fore the state parole board, and it is believed that the economy of the move will appeal to them. If the honor system is restored the convicts will feel better, the state will be sav ed much money, and there will be happiness among democrats and gnashing of teeth among republicans. Pathetic Plea is Made by Boss of Columbia County Paper If my good angel Rainier lady does not come to my relief again soon with another pair of stocking legs for over sleeves, these poor old .arms will soon be naked, and the hand that writes so much sunshine and pathos, pleasure and pain, soothing and vitriolic, might become paralyzed from exposure and unable to write the declaration of the world's independence, when each na tion on earth shall become a state of the United States and the stars and stripes shall proudly float from the dome of every state capital on the globe's circumference and adorn every mast-head that proudly rides the billows of the broad seas which wash a million miles of coast; when the patient, watchful, waiting Wilson shall bo president of a world s repub lie; when we shall annex Oklahoma and the Herald be the official paper of Columbia county; when the Lord shall look down with pleasure upon the peace, harmony and serenity and smiling say: "well done thou good and faithful servant, come up higher." There, now, my dear girl, don't you think this snap-shot half-tone glimpse into the future is worth another pair of nice stocking legs? Just think what I could do if I should open up my whole camera of imagination and had some more stocking legs. (Co lumbia Herald, Houlton.)

Famous Lines Regarding Purple Cow Given for Benefit of Reader Last week when the Courier allud ed to Gillette Burgess's "poem" re garding the purple cow, it supposed that everybody was familiar with the bit of nonsenee. However, this week the following letter was received: Editor, Courier: I note that in your article about Sheriff Wilson catching a blue-white cow, you refer to a poem about a purple cow. I have never heard that poem, and as I am interested in natural history, I wish you would print it for me, if it is not too long. PHILLIP SPAICE The Courier herewith offers, for the benefit of Mr. Spaice, the poem re ferred to: I never saw a purple cow, I do not want to see one; But this I know and tell you now I'd rather see than be one! Locked Doors No Bar to W. J. Wilson When He Wants to Get In . Any time Sheriff W. J. Wilson gets tired of treading the straight and narrow path he can qualify as an ex pert burglar. Possibly his acquain tance with more or less desperate characters has taught him how to get into a locked up house; but anyway, he knows how. Saturday night near midnight the sheriff had to go somewhere. Leav ing his house he came down to the courthouse to get his tools revolver, flashlight and "sap." When he reach ed the courthouse he discovered that he had inadvertently left his keys at home. A Yale lock on the main door and another one on the basement made it look bad for the sheriff, but he only hesitated a moment. Then he went into the courthouse, in spite of locks and bolts. ' In order to accomplish this little feat the sheriff climbed up the out side wall of the courthouse, clinging to water pipes and ledges of the cop ing, and so reached the window sill of his office. Then balancing him self dexterously he pried open the window and stepped into his private domain. After he got what he want ed he returned to the street by the same route, shutting the window be hind him. And so skillfully did he accomplish this little stunt that nei ther Patrolman Woodward or Cooke know anything about it. The sheriff can be a burglar any time he Wants to be. TIMBER' SALES MADE Cedar, Fir and Pine Sold by Govern ment in Oregon and Washington The District Forester at Portland Oregon, has just opened bids on two small sales of timber on the Nation al Forests, one on the Olympic For est in western Washington, and the other on the Crater Forest in south em Oregon. The sale on the Olympic Forest consists of 1,725,000 feet of western red cedar and Douglas fir sawtimber and 3,500 cords of western red cedar shingle bolts, not far from Port Town send, Washington. This sale has been awarded to the Snow Creek Log ging Co., who have already purchased other large bodies of timber in the vicinity; the prices paid are $1.00 per thousand for the sawtimber and 50 cents per thousand for the shingle bolts. The sale on the Crater Forest con sists of 390,000 feet of sawtimber, most of which is yellow and sugar pine. The timber is on a tract of approximately 45 acres bordering one of the tributaries of Klamath Lake. This sale has been awarded to Brown Bros. & Hubbard, and the prices paid are $3.20 per thousand for the western yellow pine and sugar pine, and 50 cents per thousand for the Douglas fir, white fir and incense cedar. m m mtecwoi THIS JITNEY IS BOAT Douglass County School Children Not to be Stalled in Mud If a petition for school consolida tion that has just been drawn up by the people of four Douglass county districts is voted on favorably in June, the school wagon will not be troubled by muddy roads, summer or winter. The school wagon is to be a boat, and Smith river to be the highway. The proposed consolidated district, which has just been visited by Earl Kilpatrick, assistant director of ex7 tension at the State University, takes in the present districts of Sulphur Springs, Upper North Fork, Lower North Fork and Long Reach. These districts are in the extreme western part of Douglass county, upon Smith river, which flows into the Umpqua at Reedsport. The school would probably be at Long Reach, in which case the boat, setting out from Sulphur Springs dis trict, will pick up the children of all three other districts before arriving at Long Reach. A 15 mile an hour speed ic desired. The journey each morning would be 15 miles long, and Mr. Kilpatrick believes it would be the longest taken in Oregon to reach a consolidated school. These Three Women Tell How They Escaped the Dreadful Ordeal of Surgical Operations. Hospitals are great and necessary institutions, but they should be the last resort for women who suffer with ills peculiar to their sex. Many letters on file in the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., prove that a great number of women after they have been recommended to submit to an operation have been made well by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Here are three such letters. - All sick women should read them. Marinette, Wis. "I went to the doctor and he told me I must have an operation for a female trouble, and I hated to have it done as I had been married only a short time. I would have terrible pains and my hands and feet were cold all the time. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and was cured, and I feel better in every wav. I ffive you permission to publish my name because I am so thankful that I feel well again." Mrs. Fked Behnke, Marinette, Wis. Detroit, mien. " wnen x mm tuu. i. wUnm'o Vno-nfaKin (Vminrnind I was so run down With female troubles that I could not do anything, and our doctor said 1 would nave to undergo an upeiauim. iwum without help so when I read about the Vegetable Compound and what it had done for others I thought I would try it. I got a bottle ot Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a package of Lydia JL. Pinkham's Sanative Wash and used them according to directions. They helped me and today I am able to do all my work and I am well. Mrs. Thos. Dwtek, 989 Milwaukee Ave., East, Detroit, Mich. ' Bellevue, Pa." I suffered more than tongue can tell with terrible bearing down pains and inflammation. I tried several doctors and they all told me the same story, that I never could get well without an operation and I just dreaded the thought, of that. I also tried a good many other medicines that were recommended to me and none of them helped me until a friend advised me to give Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound a trial. The first bottle helped, I kept taking it and now I don't know what it is to be sick any more and I am picking up in weight. I am 20 years old and weigh 14S pounds. It will be the greatest pleasure to me if I can have the oppor tunity to recommend it to any other suffering woman." Miss Irene Feoelioher, 1923 Manhattan St., North Side, Bellevue, Pa. If you would like special advice write to Lydia E. Pinkham Med. Co. (confidential ),Lynn, Mass. Your letter will be opened, read ana answered by a woman and held in strict confidence. THANKS ARE RECEIVED Relatives of the Late Mr. James Hayek' Express Their Gratitude The Courier has received the, fol lowing letter from Iowa City, Iowa: -Editor, Courier: I wish to thank you in behalf of my father, mother and sister for the kind services which the people of Oregon City have so kindly extended to our father and grandfather Mr. Hayek. Some one has sent copies of his death and bur ial notices. Until the last copy of the Oregon City Courier we were un der the impression that our father was buried. I had written to the Coroner and asked him if there was anything we could do, and received no answer until the newspapers came. They were our only answers. Thanking the kind people of Ore gon, who assisted in the Christian rites to our poor parent and grand parent, I remain, WILL HAYCK. lamette. The Times is a credit to Oswego and to the enterprise of its editor, and should receive good sup port in the locality in which it is pub lished. The Times has some good words to say for Oswego, and contains a lot of sober boosting news, as well as a comprehensive review of the week's happenings. Judging from the first number we have received, Mr. Jones is the sort of a newspaperman that be lieves in telling the truth, and who has a keen eye for the sort of stuff people want to read. MILITIA ASKS TIME WOOD CUTTER DIES METEORS THIS MONTH Shooting Stars May be Seen Late in April if Closely Sought One. of the annual "showers of shooting stars" occurs during April, continuing usually for three nights. from April 20 to April 22. This dis play is not so brilliant as some others, and a half dozen meteors in an hour are all that may be expected. These meteors are, however, noted for their swiftness of flight; the earth meets them in its course around the sun, and consequently their apparent velocity is nearly the sum of their actual velocity and the earth's habitual velocity. This particular shower bears the name of Lyrids, because the meteors appear to radiate from the direction of the constellation Lyra, of which Vega is the principal star. On trac ing the apparent paths of the meteors backward, they all appear to meet near Vega. On the dates mentioned, Vega will be the brightest star in the northeast, and about 9 p. m. will be a good time to begin watching for the meteors. Heart Failure Overcomes D. J. Loge- man Near Oswego Lake Dropping dead while dressing Mon day morning, D. JLogeman, a wood cutter employed on the. Courtney place, above Oswego Lake, gave the coroner something to investigate. Dr. Hempstead, after viewing the man's remains, concluded that death had come through natural causes. But little is known of Logeman's history. He is believed to have been born in Germany, and has relatives in the East. H. Hermann, another wood cutter working with him, was present when his partner died, but could give little information about the man's circum stances. It is believed that Logeman has a considerable sum of money in vested in various projects in the Northwest, and an effort will be made to communicate with his relatives so that his estate may be settled. NEW PAPER PLEASES Oswego Times Has Neat Appearance and Plenty of News The Courier has received its first copy of the Oswego- Times, which E. James Jones is issuing in the grow ing city on the west bank of the Wil- Ten Days More Requested for Secur ing Score of Additional Recruits The committee of members of G Company, Oregon National Guard, which has' had charge of the recent recruiting campaign for 20 addition al members, has asked the Live Wires to give them until April 10 to secure the pledged addition. Recruiting has been going on ' rapidly in the local guard company, but as yet the extra 20 members have not been obtained. The Live Wires promised to col lect from local businessmen the sum of $65 a month for the company if 20 additional members were secured by April 1. In order not to lose this monthly financial aid, the guard has asked for ten days more time. The money, if obtained, will be used to equip a gymnasium and library.
