YOU !
Has It ever Btruck you that there is a
mysterious individual going around, walk
ing the streets, chatting, laughing, grum
bling, arguing, and that all your friends
know him and have long since added him
up and come to a definite conclusion about
him without saying more than a chance,
cautious word to you, and that person is
you? Arnold Bennett.
You!
Do you know him or her?
And would you not Rive a great deal
to be able to meet yourself as you meet
other people and see yourself as they
see you? '
"O wad some power the giftie gie
us," said Burns, "to see oursel's as
Ithers see us!" , -
We cannot meet ourselves face to
face as we meet others. The mirror
shows ouly the outside of us. But wo
have or may acquire the mental abil
ity to meet and study our real selves
and get acquainted.
You!
. Are you what people think you are,
or better than you'think. or worse?
Do you ever step to one side, as it
were, and watch yourself go by?
We try to find out from others what
they think of us, but they will not tell
us. In fact, they will take pains some
times to deceive us as to what they
'chink of us.
Why -should you not take the invoice
yourself?
Why not make the inventory at first
hand and add up the figures just as
they are? Why not credit yourself up
with all the good qualities you kuow
you are possessed of and charge-your-
seir .up wnn your weaivUfsses anu
faults and failings?
You know better than any one. if you
will take time to think, what are your
strong points and your weak ones.
If you make the inventory do not de
ceive yourself or leave out any of the
qualities, good, bad or indifferent. Self
deception is the worst sort of decep
tion. One thing is sure:
When you are done and have made
the footings you will think less of your
self and moie of others Their faults
will dwindle to their proper size and
yours will appear as big as they real
ly are.
You!
Do you know yourself?
If not get an introduction.
Algebra.
Algebra was cultivated in the ninth
century by the Arabs, especially by the
Arabs of Spain, who. it is said by some
authorities, derived their knowledge of
the science from the Hindus. The
first printed book on algebra was pub
lished in 1494 by Luca Paciolo. Thomas
Harriot's Important discoveries ap
peared in 1031, and in 1637 the cele
brated philosopher Descartes applied
the science to geometry, thus paving
the way for the triumphant work of
Newton and Laplace. New iork

PIONEER, IS DEAD
Edward Byrom, one of the promi
nent pioneers of Oregon, died at the
home of his son, Joseph Byrom, at
Tualatin Thursday evening at 8:30
o'clock, after an illness of about a
year. The funeral services will be
conducted at the Congregational
church at Tualatin Sunday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, and the interment will
be in the Tualatin cemetery, the re
mains to be buried beside those of
his wife, who died in 1904. They were
married in 1857, Mrs. Byrom's maiden
name being Elizabeth Moshier.
Mr. Byrom was born October 21,
1827, in Manchester, England, and in
1842 came to the United States, and
settled in New York. He left New
York City on , the ship Washington
Irving for Oregon in 1850, it requir
ing about 200 days to make the trip.
Arriving in 1851, he settled on the
claim in Washington County, near
Tualatin, where he lived, "with the ex
ception of several years spent in Ida
ho, until his death.
Mr. Byrom was well known through
out Washington County, and was al
so favorably known in Clackamas
County, where he had visited on many
occasions until the past year when
his health commenced failing. He was
a member of the Oregon Pioneer As
sociation. 4
He is survived by the following chil
dren: John E. Byrom, of Boise, Ida
ho; Mrs. E. A. Eddy, of Tualatin; Jos
eph L .Byrom, of Tualatin; Mrs.
Duane Ely, of Oregon City.

The Test a Play.
John Craig, the donor of the Craig
prize for plays, which has been given
both last year . and this year to women
students at Radcliffe in preference to
the Harvard students who apply, says
that the common fault of plays sub
mitted is talkiness Usually half of
the first act is taken up with dialogue
that gets nowhere.

MOHAIR MARKET
A further drop of 11c to 2 c a pound
is showing in the mohair market. The
drop is occasioned by the very heavy
supplies that are being offered and
practically one firm is in the market
to buy at any price just now.
For that reason the firm .is getting
1 much more hair than it had expect
I ed. The decline in value is a direct
j result. The price for mohair is 32c
a pound.
The market for wool is holding
steady to firm. Only a very small
movement is showing in the Willam
ette valley. Coarse Cotswold and Lin
coln wools are quoted from 16 to 17
cents a pound, medium Shropshire,
running into fine 18c and choice fancy
lots 19c a pound.

Do you allow yourself to become
absentminded, wrapped up ' in" a

Speak to those that you have been
in the habit of ignoring. Make
friends with every one. Strive to
touch life everywhere you can. You
will accomplish your tasks better by
so doing than by going forward
blindly absorbed in meditation or
engrossed by internal musings.

GETS IMPETUS TODAY
The good roads forces of the state
will "unite today, the day set aside by
Governor- West as State Good Roads
day, in urging upon the voters of Ore
gon the desirability of the six har
mony, highway measures. C. T. Prall,
secretary of the O'Vgon League for
Highway Improvement, .expects the
harvest of the day's activities to be at
least 10,000 signatures to the petitions
to initiate the bills. Thirty-five thou
sand are already on file in Mr. Prall's
office, and with 1C,000 more, three
fourths of the necessary 60,000 will be
ready. It is believed the rest will be
obtained without trouble.
Many meetings have been arranged
in different counties as a result of the
telegrams sent to the commercial
clubs of the state by C. C. Chapman,
secretary of the Oregon Development
League, urging activity in aiding the
good roads measures. P. W .Brown,
manager of the Bend Commercial Club
has telegraphed that a big meeting
and demonstration will be held there,
and that the club expects to have
every petition in its hands filled with
names by' night. Many signatures
have been received to petitions in
Oregon City and Clackamas County.
Eugene and Hood River report that
meetings will be held and the work
of circulating the petitions pushed.
At "Salem the Board of Trade will
take active charge of arousing senti
ment and obtaining names for the
measures.
George M. Hyland, of Portland, will
address a mass meeting- at Newberg,
Prall will spend the day among the
farmers of Yamhill County, Samuel j
Hill, "the father of the good roads
movement in - the Northwest," will I
make several talks in the country dis- j
tricts, and other speakers will be-sent
out from Portland, but the greater ac-!
tivity of thegod roads hosts will be
in geting names to the petitions and
not in holding meetings and demon
strations. "We do not wish to waste powder
in demonstrations," Prall said. "It is
the plan to make the Good oRads day
a sort of culmination of the activity
resulting from the demonstration in
Portland May 1. The commerical
clubs over -the state have seen that
that petitions are all in good hands,
and every effort will be made to fill
every set that is being circulated.
There are about 500 of these in Port
land and probably 600 in the outside
counties. Each set has room for 120
signatures."
Uuillemots' Eggs.
Among British birds the cuckoo lays
the smallest egg in proportion to its
size and the guillemot the largest egg.
Though the latter bird is only about
the size of the raven, its eggs are near
ly five inches in length.

Jennings Lodge resident, that the sta
tion for that, place might be moved
about 650 feet South of its present lo
cation, in order to get into the 5-cent
zone, and Traffic Manager Hunt ex
plained that this could be done, but
the Jennings Lodge people present cit
ed the fact that the store, postofflce,
freight house and general town center
are located at or near the present
station. Mr. Hunt also stated the
grant of 5-cent fare between Jen
nigs Lodge and Oregon City would
mean a reduction of 5 cents in the
fare between Oregon City and Oak
Grove, Rupert and Risley.
P. D. Newell made a humorous talk
about zones and Anally evolved the
statement that "zones are established
on the basis of the rate fixed per
mile and mileage is governed by
zones." Mr. Redmond agreed that if
a 5-cent fare was given Jennings
Lodge, there would be no demand for
a 4J cent book rate.
The sum total, of the committees'
requests embrace for Jennings Lodge
a 5-cent cash fare to Oregon City and
a 45-cent book rate; a 10-ride book to
Portland, instead of the 20-ride book
now in use, which the company is
disposed to grant; 31-cent school
rate, which was refused, as was a re
quest to issue transfers at the Port
land end on commutation book tick
ets. '
Gladstone asked for a 41-cent book
rate to Oregon City and this will no
doubt be given; a 3J-cent school rate,
which was turned down on the ground
that there is not sufficient density of
traffic to permit such an innovation,
which is said to be foreign to inter
urban systems and unprofitable on
city lines; 10-ride Portland books,
which will be issued, if the same privi
lege is given to Jennings Lodge, in
fact the same privilege would be com
mon to all points on the line if given
to one; another stop at Hereford
street, and this is a matter that the
company is willing to leave to the pat
rons of the line, and not to- the resi
dents of Gladstone alone, the position
of the railway being that the vote
should be taken all along the system

from Canemah to Golf Links, on the
basis of service. The company de
sires expressions from all who utilize
their service because of their com
mon interest, as another stop would
necessarily mean less rapid transit.
Canemah requested a 20-cent fare
to Portland, but Mr. Hild said this
could not be done on the basis of the
rates established by the Railroad Com
mission. The company is willing to
give Canemah the 4J-cent hook rate
to Oregon City and Mr. Hild said he
would take up the matter of giving
Canemah better service at night, if it
could be arranged. It seems there
are several elements entering into this
matter, one being the ' dangerous
crossing of the Southern Pacific.
B. T. McBain, who presided, said
Oregon City wanted nothing for her
self, but she is pleading for better con
ditions for her suburban points, in or
der to improve trade relations, and
permitting people to come here and
do business on a more favorable basis.
The conference brought out the
statement that the commutation rates
all along the line are 80 per cent of
the actual cash f are, based on the
mileage to points served, with Jen
nings Lodge as an exception. Mr.
Hild said density of traffic is bound
to lower rates.
The question of additional stops
came up before the committee on a
report that the company proposed fo
establish a station in front of the resi
dence of G. C. Fields, between Fern
Ridge and Meldrum. Mr. Hunt said
Mr. Field's petition for a stop at that
point had been denied, but it had been
suggested to him that Meldrum Sta
tion could be moved South or Fern
Ridge Station might be moved North
for his accomodation, provided the
change would be satisfactory to the
other patrons.
General Manager Hild promised to
go over the various points presented
by the committee with President Jos
selyn and to return a definite answer
at an early date. It is regretted, how--ever,
that there seems to be small
chance for the establishment of a 5
cent fare between this city and Jen
nings Lodge.
