concluded that she would like to get
away from the quietness of country
life nnd obtained the consent of her

well known families and lately, has
been at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Schneider, In West Oregon City, but
last week she went to Wllsonvllle for
a brief visit with her people and on
Tuesday morning was taken In to Wil

therefore, to receive a letter telling
her that Hazel had not arrived and

The Best Spraying
Finding there are many that have
oniy a lew trees and not prepared with
the proper apparatus to thoroughly
spray the trees and do not care to
mix the material, as It should be, l
have decided to put in the field an out
fit that could Bpray 600 trees a day.
If we could get at them. Our charges
will be reasonable, and by actual ex
perience I am prepared to say It will
pay you many fold to let us spray your
trees. Get the pruning done and the
brush out of the way, and when you

cement and steel and brick and
stone are not yet used In sufficient
quantities to encourage lumber users
to predict tho time when the forests
will not be called upon to furnish the
principal material used In building
operations. Notwithstanding the re
markable Increase In the use of ce
ment and other fireproof materials,
me lust reports or the building opera
tions In 49 of the leading cities of the
United States for the year, collected
by the Geological Survey, show that
59 per cent were of wooden construc
tion. Even If the remaining 41 per cent
of the buildings were built of brick,
stone and concrete, vast auantitles of
wood are consumed both In the con
struction and In the finish, though
In the latter form, metal Is taking the
piace or wood to a very large extent.
The amount of lumber given above
does not take Into consideration this
Item at all.
While this percentage is repre
sentative of the building Industry In
the United States, dealers point out
mat it does not Include the laree
quantities of lumber used for the con
struction of dwellings, stores and oth
er buildings in the thousands of small
cities and towns scattered over the
country and not included in the 49
cities on which a reckoning was made.
In towns and small cities wood-is usu
ally the predominating building mate
rial, and .it is safe to say that if the
statistics had Included figures for all
places of whatever size, the percent
age of wooden construction would
have been much greater. These fig
ures, as a rule, are only for the cor
porate limits, and the suburbs of these
cities have each very large amounts
to be added. The cost, also, is rela
tively higher in these cities than In
towns nearer the base of the supply.
In wooden buildings. New York City
Is at the bottom of the list, though It
leads with $18,075 as the average cost
of buildings. Except at San Francis
co, where abnormal conditions have
prevailed since the fire, Hoston shows
the greatest Increase of any of the
cities in the total cost of building op
erations. The average cost of build
ings is constantly Increasing, having
risen over $300 during the last three
years. The average value of a build
ing is given in the report as $2,035.
Lumber is by far the greatest drain
on the forests, and the wonderful de
velopment of the country uuring the
past decade has called for the use of
nearly forty billion board feet a year.
The largest quantity ever reported for
a single year was for 1906, when 37
billion feet, with a mill value of $621,
151.3S8 was used. Including the value
of the lath and shingles used with this
amount, the total value of the wood
used for buildings is brought ud to
$565,796,513.
The Increasing price of lumber and
the rapidly increasing use of perfected
fireproof system of construction
should have much to do in holding
down the amount which the forests are
called upon to yield each year, but so
far these more substantial materials
have not decreased the lumber cut of
the Nation.

These columns, which are usually of
wood and Iron, aro about 12 feet high
and three feet In diameter. Built at
the edge of the sidewalk, they form a
conspicuous feature of street life in
that city.
It is interesting to note that tha
matter displayed on these columns is
more in the nature of reading notices
than of pictures,
The privilege of erecting and using
these advertising columns Is awarded
by the city to the highest bidder. Ac
cording to the terms of the leaHe now
In force, the city receives an annual
rental of $95,200, but cannot grant a
similar prlivlege to any one else. The
life of the lease is ten years.
The price which the successful bid
der may charge for space Ih regulated
by the Berlin authorities. All posters
before they are put up must be ap
proved by the police. Except In spe
cial cases, the advertising space is
awarded according to the order of ap
plication. The city reserves the right
to demand the posting of Its notices
free.
DIRECT LEGISLATION COSTLY.
NO BILLBOARDS THERE.
. e
Most people know that if they have v'
been sick they need Scoffs Emut- $
J ion to bring back health and strength. jt
But the strongest point about Scoffs
Emulsion is that you dont have to be
tick to get results from it,

It keeps up the athlete's strength, puts fat
on thin people, makes a fretful baby happy,
brings color to a pale girl's, cheeks, and pre
vents coughs, coldi and consumption.

And it contains no drugs and no alcohol

Initiative and Referendum Petitions
Cost About $36,000.
There are 19 measures to be voted
upon by the people at the June elec
tion. Four of these were submitted
by resolution of the Legislature, while
15 have come before the people under
the initiative and referendum. Popu
lar vote upon these 15 measures has
been demanded by a total of 138,285
signatures.
Men who have had opportunity to
learn the methods employed in secur
ing the signatures estimate that It haa
cost th promoters of the various peti
tions an average of not less than 10
cents a name. At this rate, the peti
tions alone have cost $13,828.50. Many
of the petitions were circulated by
men who received 5 cent3 per signa
ture as compensation for their work.
But the payment of the men who cir
culated the petitions does not cover
all the expense, by any means. From
the best estimates that can now be
formed, it appears that the total cost
of the initiative and referendum mea
sures, to the state and the promoters
and opponents of the measures, will be
about $36,000. And the items men
tioned herein do not Include all the
expense, for it is altogether probable
tnat menus and opponents of the
several measures will make more or
less expensive campaigns between no
and election for adoption or rejection
of the bills and amendments. It is
quite certain that a fight will be made
over the fishery bills, the female suf
frage amendment, the liquor and gam
bling bill, the University appropriation
bill, and perhaps some others. These
campaigns will cost money, even if
conducted as economically as possible.
So It is apparent that direct legisla-.
tion is not an inexpensive method of
securing or defeating laws.
Livestock Meeting in Portland.
The week beginning September 21st
will see the greatest livestock and race
meeting at Portland that has been
held in that city since the Lewis &
Clarke exposition in 1905. The gather
ing there last week, participated In
by the Oregon Pure Bred Livestock As
sociation, brought livestock men from
all over the country, closing with a
banquet at the Portland Commercial
Club.
Improvement to Church.
The vestrymen of St. Paul's Epis
copal Church, on Ninth and Water
streets, have contracted for the con
struction of an addition of a robing
room for the new vested choir. This
room will be on the east side of the
church, 15 feet towards Main street
and 13 feet toward the courthouse.
There will also be constructed a porch
in front of the vestibule, and the im
provements will give the church a
fine appearance from the exterior.
