OREGON'S TIMBER RESOURCES In talking to an Oregoniau about the resources of our state you will In variably hear timber mentioned at the ton of the list Yes, Oregon probably baa mare standing timber today than ! any state in the union and we can well be proud of It Included in the different varieties are fir, spruce, ce dar, hemlock, oak, ash and maple, as well as more; rare varieties such aa the myrtle tree, which grows In Coos County. In speaking to a furniture nianufuct- j urer about the wonderful timber re- j sources of the state he said, "Yes, we have an unlimited supply of the best of woods for the manufacture of not , laughing happily, evidently In high onlv common furniture, but high grade i ' spirits. After the student had furniture as well and we are today making a good deal of furniture In Oregon, but the amount manufactured ia merely a drop in the bucket to what ! should be made In Oregon. Our hard-! est work has been to educate the con sumer to ask for an Oregon product If we could make the buyer realize to a small extent what It would mean If he demanded and bought Oregon made goods, the result would be beyond fig ures. Factory after factory would start operation In Oregon and It would put hundreds of dollars into circula tion. We must drill Into our local people the habit of asking for made in Oregon products, whether It be fur niture, flour, blasting powder or hand' soap." To be held In Portland, November 18th to 23rd Inclusive, will be a mar- j vel to many who will visit thia show It will be educational from Its foun dation. Daily lectures by experts on the following subjects will be of in terest; planting, pruning, picking, packing, spraying, orchard pests, fer tilizers, cultivation, moisture conser vation, soil elements, crop rotation, dairy farming, sanitation. About $20, 000 will be expended on prizes for all kinds of farm products, every depart ment of the farm being represented in this premium list, including Jellies, elder, dried fruits, etc. The annual meeting of the Oregon State Horticultural Society will meet in three days session In the same week. The Pacific International Dairy Show Association will also hold their annual the same dates. This will be a great show especially for Clackamas Ceunty for it will be at our door, and we should see to it that a good exhibit is on hand. The Com mercial Club of Oregon City expect to use the Salem exhibit at his Portland show. However, many of the pro ducts will not be in shape to meet another exhibit after having been at Salem and again at the County Fair. But when the time comes we can al ways depend on the thrifty Clackamas County farmers to come through with all that is needed to make an exhibit which will be a credit to the county. Let us keep this fair in mind, and be ready for another big plum to fall Into the lap of Clackamas County. Already the Panama Canal is at work for mankind.

IDEA ND .6 lWU A. isJ Dancing (Hy R'. v. II. Mau. 1'astor of Lutheran Church. One day a young student railed on Martin Luther at Wittenberg. Ger many, in order to ask the reformer's ' advice whether he. could attend a' dance without committing a sin. i l.uther took the student to the door and asked him to look through the keyhole into the adjoining room. An Innocent scene presented Itself to him Luther's small children bad their arms around each other and were dancing. watched that innocent game for a while ho looked to the reformer with a questioning air. Then says LMther: "If you ran dance with as innocent a heart as these little children ran there will be no harm for you In dauclng, This answer of Luther certainly hita the point Dancing in Itself is certainly no sin, but whether It is not made a sin, by most who indulge In it is a question, which many a sin cere person will answer in the affirm ative. Such la the case with many things, which are employed aa means of amusement and gratification. They are very often not 'In themselves" a sin but are but too often made a sin by persons, who either are apt to de file, at least in thought, anything that is pure and innocent in itself, or by overdoing an in itself harmless thing, make such enjoyments or gratifica tions immoral and therefore a sin. The great reformer, Martin Luther, certainly had a sober and logical view of all these things, and one of the most important elements of his teach- I ings was, that the church in her serv ants should not impose upon the peo ple all kinds of laws and regulations in matters for which the Bible has neither a commandment nor an inter diction, things which the theologians call, "adiapbora," meaning things neither commanded nor forbidden in themselves by the Bible. It would be a good thing if Borne of the modern branches of the Christian church would take a lesson from Lu ther in this respect The Apostle Paul, the greatest Interpreter of the principles laid down by Jesus Christ speaks of this subject quite clearly in his writings. Anybody Interested In this subject is referred to the fol lowing passages: Matthew 15, 11. Mark 7, 15. Matthew 15, 20. Roman's 14, 17. I. Corinthians 2, 16-21. Ro mans 14, 5-6. Collossians 2, 16. Ro mans 11, 7-8. According to true Christian princi ple however, we may deny ourselves certain of those things, which are in themselves adiaphora, doing so for some reason or another, and we are then using our Christian liberty. Much more could be said on this subject but this will suffice for the present. Risky Politeness, Captain Owen Wheeler relates a hu- morous story anent the politeness of I the Burmese.

In the Courier of September 6, I I notice that Mr. Kol a hired mnn savs that my opposition to single tax la, due to our interest in a certain lot In the City of Portland. Ho states that uiuicr the graduated single tax we . would pay JSM.OO more tax than un-; dor the present system. Any land tax ' ordinary or extraordinary, under tho ' terms ot our contract, which may be levied w ill be paid by' the tenants, so our net income will be precisely the' tame under either system of taxa- j tlon during the continuance ot our present fifty year lease. The only property which we own j that would be in any way adversely affected would be our Clackamas ; County holdings consisting of our home farm of about 100 acres at Ills ley Station and a seventeen acre tract w hich I ow n jiear Naef Station. This would be affected about the same as other lands In Clackamas County if single tax Is adopted. Now as to the Imputation that we 1 : . .

In this connection I would further state; that I was the Chairman of the school ; board which recommended the levy of a ten mill special school tax. which was unanimously adopted. I would further say that I acted as sec-; retary of a district road meeting at which we endeavored to levy a spe- clal road tax. This road tax was de-, feated. but we hope to do better next , year. j 1 have also favored both In the Fo-I inona and State Grange, and before the Automobile Club, the enactment of a law which would place a speci fic tax of one dollar per horse power on all automobiles, said tax to be used In buldlng state roads; said tax to be levied In addition to the regular tax now levied. Our friends of the soap persuasion would exempt automobiles entirely from taxation, and would have you believe it to be In the Interest of the poor man. I'nder the same pretense they would exempt all railroads from pay ing nnv tax on their rails, ties, poles, wires, grades bridgea, power hou-es and machinery. And then by figure compiled by an Imported expert would seek to show that the railroads would pav more when thus exempted. Now In view ot the careless disre gard for the truth by the parasites of the soap-man, I would infer that It is not in their contract with Mr. Fels that they shall keep the ninth com mandment Yours truly. 1URVEY G.

I. I'OI.K CO, BrUTTTB I I TO THE WORLD- 1 In tho hopyarda of this state, and In jCull'orula as well, the weather la still j a serious disturbing factor. Tho In j dlcatioua now are that the damage to I tho Oregon crop ly "lol,l UB rim' I slderably more extensive tfTuu was i thought possible a few weeks ago. 'and this to a great extent Is nttrlhut ! uble to recent uufavorabfo weaher, I Fulluru on the part of some growers to spray their vines propedly also gave the vermin a chance to get In their work and In that way contributed to the Injury of the crop. For the most part tho growers op erating large yards took the best pos sible care of the vines, and In these yards generally the crop Is reported to bo coming down In good shape and with a yield even greater than was anticipated. Iu a number of Holds, not ably where the crop was covered by low price contracts, the growers this year naturally were less interested In the crop than would other wise have been the case and there neglect was more or less general, with moldy hops as the Inevitable result. A number of such yards are already reKrted to have been abandoned by the growers, the crops, under their contracts, being worth little if any thing more than the cost of plcklug. but reports say that fn all probability speculators will buy up the abandoned yards, gather the cropa and market them for whatever they will bring. Such action will ot course have a bear ish effect on the market In the Salem district the damage to the crop brought about by the had weather appears to be more serious than In some other parts of the Val ley. Some of the growers says that at least 25 per cent of the crop of that section will be ruined, the rains there aggravating the injury already done through mold and making it all but Impossible to get the undamaged crops under cover In a satisfactory way. (irking is being pushed as fast aa possible in ull parts of the valley, but there has been some rain almost ev ery day last week, and this has made the work so nnpleasnnt for the pickers that many of them have left the fields and returned to their homes. In many fields distant from the centers where plvxers were available, the growers starred the harvest with short forces and have been working short banded nil the week. In California similarly unfavorable conditions are reported, Ihe heaviest rains ever known at this time of tho year having fallen this week in some of llio lending hop producing districts of that state. In the Sonoma section it Is said that a very large portion af the vines are down as a consetiuenre of the unusual storms.

OF CHECKED BY SUPPLY There seem to be no hope of any Immediate Improvement in tho pota to trade. With a record crop on Its hands and with California likewise showing a buiuiHT, the Pacific north west must wait for some time before It will secure n chance to move Us stock to the outside. Seemingly the railroads will not give the lower rate to the east tbut the trade here has asked for and this will limit the selling territory to that shown during normal seasons. To some extent tho Pacific North west will not enjoy even the territory It has been accustomed to sending supplies. With California In a posi tion to undersell on account of Its better selling; futilities and the fact tho largo growers there are willing to feed the market at all times no matter what price Is allowed, It Is not likely Hint much business ran he confirmed wltlh the southwest until close to the end of the year. The few carloads that are needed for the Alaska trade are a mere drop In the bucket rompared with the sup plies that are available. With Seattle holding the bulk of this trade, It is not likely that much of the call will stray In this direction, because Yakima Is closer and will, as a rule i cheaper, CATTLE MARKET HAS STRONG TONE The Cortland Cnlon Stork Company report as follows: Receipts fur the week have I5SI rattle; g calves; 1538 15S4 rattle; 8 calves; 15:8 Yards been hogs; hogs. In the face of an Increase In re ceipts, the cattle market ranged strong at the former week's prices. Home claim was made that price ruled 10 to 15 per cent higher, but this this was largely a question of i rtnllty and there Is more safety In saying that prices held firm with a more active demand.
