LOGAN
This is the time of year whn we
can repeat the lines of the old song,
slightly changed, "Sweet prospects,
sweet birds and sweet flowers have
not lost their sweetness to me."
Speaking about birds the kind
that are appropriately called clippers
wnicn cup oit early cherry blooms
just to get tho heart, which is about
as large as a wheat grain, are surely
not in the useful class, and seem to
be a mistake in nature's plan. Maybe
we can afford to forgive the robins
that eat a share of the ripe cherries,
but these other fellows are in the
Hun class and deserve a meal of lead.
Some Loganites went to Portland
to see the war birds fly but most of
us stayed at home and scanned the
hazy horizon in vain, awaiting hope
fully a sign that State Director of
the Victory Loan Etheridge was not
a false prophet.
Most of the grain is in the ground
but some of the wet land is being de
layed by the rain.
Ole Thompson has been doing some
slashing for E. N. Barrett.
J. C. Young reports great activity
in raising chickens and thinks that
storing eggs at 40 cents or more per
dozen may not prove to be profitable
as early pullets will be on the supply
job this fall and winter.
We hear that C. A. Kirchem and
J. W. McCubbin have arrived in New
York, and Floyd Kirchem is expect
ed home soon from his Armenian
supply trip." Logan boys have not
been returning very fast yet but it
is expected they will soon make up
for lost time.
Clear Creek Creamery paid 64
cents for butter fat last month,
which is some price and helps to rec

Considerable alfalfa hay is being

mated more timber than was claim
ed for that exceptionally fine body of

in the early summer.
The prospect1 for a good crop of
fruit is most excellent at this writ

for the cherries and another good
crop is expected.
The Germans, having destroyed the

lie also says that Miss Cavell was
executed by the order of a drunken
officer. He is hoping to save his
face.
One of the most remarkable feats
of arms ever performed by an Amer
ican soldier was accomplished by
corporal Alvin T. York, of Tennessee,
at the battle of the Argonne in
France. He shot 25 Germans, cap
tured 132 prisoners and broke up 35
machine gun nests. His actions are
all verified and he received the pub
lic approval of Gen. Gummeral before
the whole army. He gave him un
stinted praise and said he was a
credit to the American nation and
that he was proud to command such
soldiers. York was a member of the
church known as the Church of Christ
and Christian Union, and was the
second elder in that church. He
was rushed at one time by a lieuten
ant and eight men of the celebrated
Prussian Guards, and got every one
of them. He was a dead shot, never
missing the mark. He said he was
not excited in the least at any time
and escaped without a scratch. Upon
being asked how he accounted for
his miraculous escape, he replied that
"he was' taken care of by God Al
mighty and His angels." A man of
strong faith like "Cromwell's Iron
sides" make hard men to contend
with in any combat. It certainly
was a marvelous passage at arms.
Mrs. W. R. Allen was taken ser
iously ill last week at her home with
what was thought to be ptomaine
poisoning. Dr. Williams of Sandy,
was called and did everything in his
power to relieve her, and while at
this writing she is slowly recovering,
sne is still a very sick person. Mrs
Friel, at the hotel, is caring for her

BACKACHE IS DISCOURAGING
Not So Bad if You Know How to
Reach the Cause
Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you 'when you
bend or lift. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bad
kidneys. Oregon City people recom
mend Doan's Kidney Pills. Read
this case:
Mrs. Henry Larsen, 905 John Ad
ams St., says: "I was subject to
backache for several years and was
so bad I couldn't rest well day or
night and when I was on my feet a
great deal the trouble was worse. My
kidneys didn't act right either. I
was all run down and had no ambi
tion to do anything. The least exer
tion made me tired and nervous.
Since I have been taking Doan's Kid
ney Pills, my back feels stronger and
my Kidneys act more regularly,

every way."

A recent tabulation of unsold land
in Oregon shows Clackamas county
is the heart of the most densely pop
ulated and prosperous part of the
most prosperous state in the world
wealthiest country.
Clackamas is the largest of those
counties mentioned as having little or
no land unsold. There are 40 acres
in Clackamas that have not been
sold by its original owner, the fed'
eral government. Th's land is scat
tered about the county in bits of
rock and swamp. All counties that
have no land unsold are near Clacka
mas. Nearly all border this county,
It may be accepted that there are
only 40 acres of valueless land in
Clackamas, in a state whose soil pro
duces a larger variety of products
than any area of similar size in the
entire world. And not 0 n 1
are the soil's products varied, but
the yield is large, in some instances
setting a record for the planet.
This county is larger than those in
which all federal land has been pur
chased.
Oregon City was one of the first
towns in the territory now forming
the state of Oregon. When it was
founded little was thought of the un
limited water power resources at
hand. The town was built because it
was becoming necessary to the fer
tile .farms which were beginning to
surround it. Although built under
the spur of necessity the town did
not at first grow as swiftly as other
western towns. It just grew as fast
as the fertile agricultural districts
demanded that it should. But the
county has throughout its history
had a federal-held area of small di
mensions compared with other coun
ties of the state. Development of
water-power resources has brought
stream of population, of course. This
influx will continue indefinitely,
An equal basis for growth, however.
has always been that for which the
early settlers came here the fertil
lty of the county's soil. Every

ROBEY VICE PRESIDENT
OF NEWS ORGANIZATION
C. W. Robey, publisher of the
Courier, iwas elected vice nresident.
of the newly organized Oregon News
paper Conference at the first annual
meeting of the new association in the
college of Journalism in Eugene last
Friday and Snhnrrinv. Tim rM Wil

was merged into the Conference at
the meeting.
The Oretron Ctv Cnnrlor anil the

Real homes of the old-fashioned
kind would be furnished at the low
est possible figure. Suitable houses
can be built at a cost of between
$1,500 and . $2,500, according to the
report. Most of them will probably
range Detween $1,500 and $2,000, in
cluding lots. It is proposed that
each house be constructed on a full
lot so there will be room for small
gardens.
Regarding sale of the houses and
possibilities of the project the report
continues:
"These houses will be sold to the
workers on a basis of 10 per cent,
immediate payment on the cost of the
lot and building and the remainder
in small monthly payments, com
mencing after the houses are complet
ed and turned over. These, payments
to run over a term of years and to
be practically the same as rent, but
10 db ngurea on a basis of principal
and interest being paid for a term of
years, so that outside of the initial
payment, the purchaser of one of
these homes would practically be
paying rent.
"With $50,000 we could easily fin
ance a proposition to build an indefi
nite number of houses, for the con
tracts as they wee made, could be
turned over to banks and additional
nssney borrowed on them at a very
reasonable rate of interest, so the
money could keep turning over and
over and houses could be kept build
ing right along.
"Our plan is to work this on the
basis of turning over the lot and
building at actual cost and it is not a
money making scheme in any sense.

There would be no expense and the
interest rate should not be figured on
a basis of more than 6 per cent. We
would not start the construction of
any of the houses until we had con
tracts for ten or fifteen and would
let contracts for this number all at
one time, thus saving architects fees
and being' able to buy building ma
terials at much better advantage and
getting houses built a good deal
cheaper, so that the workers would
be getting houses on a basis of non
profit and based on quantity production.
The subscribers to stock in the
organization would not be running
any chance as to loss of their money
and the plan considered would prob
ably return them about 5 to 6 per
cent, on their investment. . Of course
they could probably make a little
more on money invested in other
ways, but for the good of their town
and benefits every one would derive
from the operation of this Dlan.
they would indirectly receive more
benefits than by getting a higher
rate of interest on the investment
through other channels.
"We believe sufficient subscribers
to obtain the amount required can be
obtained through the various manu
facturing plants, banks, business
houses and property owners of this
city.
"We recommend that immediate
action on this matter be taken and
that a committee be appointed to
work out further details and proceed
with the organization, should this
plan be approved by the Live Wires."
