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. It has induced a

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.

morous story anent the politeness of I

WHAT A VALUABLE MESSAGE
FORUM OF THE PEOPLE1
September 10th, 1912.
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

above mentioned lnnds and our per
sonal property we paid a tax thia year
In rMackamas County of $152.00. 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.

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. New York al
so reports unfavorable weather, with
