Sub scribers will receive ample notice be fore the paper Is discontinued. LUMBER IS STILL AHEAD. Great as the advance In fire-proof construction has been during the last ten years there has been no let-up in the use of lumber, and both architects and builders find themselves so de pendent on wood today that they are compelled to admit that the forests of the country are likely to be the chief source of building material for many years to come. "The use of cement, terra cotta, brick and stone, with a framework of steel, will make it possible soon to do away with wood entirely mark often heard, and, indeed, when one stands on lower Broadway and looks up at the towerinp skyscrapers, the statement seems to contain much truth. As a mi ter of fact, however, the j.opular idea that fire-proof ma terials will do away with the need of using lumber In a comparatively few last year, approximately 61 per cent were conslrutced of wood, and the remaining 39 per cent, of fire resist ing material, acording to a report is sued by the Geological Survey on op erations in forty-nine leading cities of the country. These figures are the more significant when it is realized that they only represent the building activities in the largest cities; they do not take into account the construc tion of dwellings, stores and other buildings in the thousands of small cities and towns scattered over and not included in the forty-nine cities on which the reckoning is made. In towns and small cities wood is usually the predominating Building material and it is safe to say that if the statistics had included figures for all places of whatever size, the per centage 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. THE COMFORT OF FAITH. After a series of meetings lasting is a re- about six weeks, during which crowds of people packed the Baptist church to listen to the evangelist Dan Shau non, he is gone, and some are Borry and some are not. Opinions vary as to the religious value of the great effort made during the past weeks. Many who attended the meetings were attracted only by Shannon's Jokes and MONEY TO BURN If you have money to barn, keep it In the house where it may be burned, lost or stolen, but if you want to keep it safely where it will always be ready for you when you want it, bring it to us.

The Bank of Oregon Gty smart sayings; they wanted to see what was coming next, and while some were shocked by his Irreverence, amounting In their opinion to blas phemy, and some were disgusted with his vulgarity, others thought him an earnest man who tried to do good, and did it. To many people ills great offense lay in his unwarranted and unchari table attacks on other religious bod ies. To take advantage of the sa crednesa that Is supposed to surround the pulpit for the purpose of holding up other Christians and their religious customs to ridicule, seems to them an evidence not of large-hearted manli ness, but of Intolerance and cowardice. We are supposed to have left thut kind of thing behind. The gospel of Dan Shannon and his method of presenting it does not commend itself to the favor of the more Intelligent. They have little faith In a religion that has to be bol stered up by so much vulgarity. Ir reverence, and sensationalism, or In an advocate whose delight seems to be In cursing rather than in blessing and who consign men and women to all the pains and horrors of perdition with such evident satisfaction. If that is religion, a great many people are going to run the risk of getting along without It. Four hundred persons are reported to have been converted. If this is so Oregon City ought to be the better for It. The life of a Christian is one of honesty, uprightness, purity and Godliness. If these conversions are genuine, these four hundred have committed themselves to this kind of life. They will be better husbands and wives, better sons and daughters, better neighbors and citizens. There is great danger, however, that after the abnormal feeling generated during the revival has subsided and the con verts are no longer under the spell of the revivalist, many will suffer a relapse. It Is a notorious fact that such wholesale conversions are fol lowed by large defections. An east ern paper recently printed an offer of fifty dollars for proof that one of the converts at a series of meetings held in a certain town a few years ago had remained faithful. The meetings were conducted by "Billy" Sunday, and the correspondent who offered to put up the money and Is a resident of the town claims that none of the con verts can be found In any of the churches there. And here lies a great danger, for these lapsed converts are ever after the hardest kind of people to reach. They believe they have tried religion and that it did not work In their case. They do not care for any more ex periments and are apt to Join the ranks of the Irreligious. As a matter of fact they have not experimented with religion so much as with a mod ern brand of It. We are not qualified to pass Judg ment on Mr. Shannon or bis work. But we are sure his usefulness could be Increased by cultivating gentler and more charitable methods. tJMlJ'l I'JLllM!
