We all have a "place in the sun."
Delightful weather for the month
of March.
Whoever saw swallows flying
around before at this time of the
year? Dandelions and wild straw
berries are in bloom fully a month
ahead of the usual time.
The camps are shutting down on
account of the railroads refusing to
load any more at present. Probab
ly wanting to get the price lower.
It has been $21 a thousand feet or
over 80 cents each. This boomed
the business and gave plenty of
work at good wages. Any serious
disturbance to the tie and lumber
business is a bad blow to Oregon, as
this is Oregon's great industry. It
is to be hoped everything will be ar
ranged soon so business will go on
at full blast. The upshot of the
matter, in all probability, will be
lower price for ties and lower wag
es. It grinds the average employer
to pay wages above a bare living.
Ward Douglas, of Eagle Creek,
will plant nearly 20 acres of corn
this year and let his hogs help them
selves. In this . way, he says, hogs
big and little, do very well and in
crease the fertility of the soil. Dr.
Douglas says his father, near Mo-
lalla, has tried this plan for several
years with excellent results.
Frederick Palmer, the great
correspondent, who was all through
the great war, gives a fine descnp
tion of the battle of the Argonne in
a late issue of the Colliers. This
battle was largely fought by Ameri
cans against a carefully selected po
sition occupied by the flower of the
German army. A high English of
ficer said this position was practical
ly impregnable and the French had
been trying to take it for. two years.
This was the key to the whole Ger
man line as the loss of that position
would uncover their military base at
Sedan. Against this strongly forti
fied position the Americans proceed
ed on October 1st and bored right in
through dense wood and up steep
hills in the face of a murderous fire
from 'all kinds of guns and gas
shells and never gave back an inch
some days making a gain of five or
six miles. Some of our troops had
never been under fire, but met and
overcame the best trained veterans
of the German army. This was the
greatest battle an American army
ever fought and gained a great vic
tory over what was supposed to be
the best army in the world. This
was a knock-out as the Germans soon
signed up.
A big Irish priest in the East says
all spiritualism is a fraud and a
humbug. A prize of $1000 is offered
to any one who will detect anything
fraudulent in any seance conducted
by Mrs. Bessinett, of Toledo, Ohio.
The Toledo Bee has had reporters at
tend over 100 of her services and
gave a full account of every meet

ing fraudulent about any of her meet-

men as Sir Oliver Lodge, Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle and many of the great
est scientific men of the day are fully
convinced of these great revelations,
it ill becomes a person who never in
vestigated and doesn't know a thing
about it, to denounce it.
If Bolshevism does gain a foothold
in this country, many greedy capital

it as the continual and persistent at
