THE MOLALLA RAILROAD
Day by day the good work goes on
and it will only be a short while be
fore our Molalla road is in operation
The contract covers the work to Sil
verton but can be cancelledat Molal
la if desired: Now that work is be
gun in earnest it will be an easy task
to get subscriptions to carry the road
the rest of the distance, and when the
people see the Canby-Molalla road fall
by the way side there will be more
boosters for the road which taps the
best part of the Molallarvalley.
We have the real thing taken into
camp and by winter everybody will
be a Clackamas Southern booster.
Those promoting this road deserve
better than can be given them by this
community.
MONEY
In this life we learn among our
first lessons that we can buy things
with money. As. we grow up, we find
that some people will do" most any
thing for money steal, kill and
even sell themselves. Very few suc
ceed in their money mad work without
detection. Their stories are told by
the daily press. Some go to prison;
others miss the searching of the grand
jury. Their sins hurt them, but in
their mad rush for money they wil
lingly do anything to cover them up.
They try to hide them behind the pil
lars of some church, but evil will "out.
Their life work is the talk of the
neighborhood finally the daily press
views the situation and airs it.
Conclusion: there is one way to cor
rect the injury that evil doings have
brought upon him; if he can only se-

BROKERS TRYING TO
DEPRESS HOP TRADE
Efforts of the bearish brokers of
Portland to depress the price of hop
contracts would be amusing to the
trade if the matter was not a very ser
ious thing for producers.
It is known positively that Louis
Lachmund of Salem received an ord
er from England for 500 bales of 1912
crop, and was able to pay from 221c
to 23c a pound for them. He has
been scouring the valley for supplies
at this range, notwithstanding the
fact that the bearish interests spread
reports that growers are willing to
sell at 21c
That someone is heavily short of the
1912 crop of hops here is indicated by
the desperate efforts being made by
certain brokers to spread misleading
reports to influence the price down
ward. Growers are very firm in their
views and little stock is - obtainable
under 24 25c a pound, and those
that have orders to fill fractionally
under this amount realize that this is
so.
Prevailing Oregon City prices are as
follows:
DRIED FRUITS (Buying) Prunes

British Naval Guns In
;The New York Navy Yard
Photo by American Press Association
NB uf the most brilliant naval actions of the war of 1812 Is commem
orated by the display In the New York navy yard of seven ancient
ship's guns. - They are part of the armament of the British frigate
Macedonian, which was captured by Captain Stephen Decatur on Oct
25. 1S12. after a fierce combat of two hours. When her commander, Captain
Garden, offered his sword to Decatur the American said, "Sir, I cannot receive
the sword of a man who has so bravely defended his ship, but I will receive
your linnd " The prize was repaired, sailed into New York harbor amid gen
eral rejoicings, and the guns here pictured were set up as trophies in the navy
yard. Det-?tur received the freedom of the city' and a gold medal, and has a
secure place in history as one of the nation's naval heroes.
For the Children
A Fourth of July Parade
of Children In Masks.
Tne old time noisy, firecracker cele
bration of the Fourth of July has
happily gone out of fashion. Powder
and fire are too-dangerous for young
folks to handle.- A masked parade is
a jolly way for children to show their
patriotism on Independence day. The
more grotesque the masks and cos
tumes are the greater will be the
fun. Another good plan is to have a
colonial parade and perhaps tableaux
in the schoolhouse or on some con
venient field or lawn. The youngsters,
dressed up to represent George and
Martha Washington, Miss Columbia,
Uncle Sam and the men and dames of
colonial times, can be grouped to form
many pretty and interesting pictures.
It is greater fun, too. than being burn
ed and otherwise injured by firecrack
ers. A Fourth of July Game.
Another good Fourth of July game is
called "stars and stripes." To arrange
for this take a large number of cards
and paste a gilt star on each. On an
other bunch paste a.red strip of paper
on each, and on another paste a strip
of silver on each.-
The cards are dealt, one to each play-
set
I his haud with si wroug number of stars
and stripes to make up one flag thosu
cards go to the pool, but no one must
tell him in what way he erred or thit
others will be helped. The one making
the most correct flags wins a prize.
A "Nation'' Game.
Hand a slip of paper and pencil to
each guest and ask them to write an

answer must end in tbe word "na

A teacher's nation? , .

posed of. The cards are held figure
side in. Each player examines .his
cards to see ' whether he has enough
stars and stripes to make up the Amer
ican flag. If he has the correct num
ber and over he counts them out, and
after showing them to the table he lays
them aside. Perhaps he may have two
flags. When no' player can form fur
ther flags from his own cards the draw
ing begins. Each player borrows from
his left hand neighbor and endeavors
to make a flag. If any player gets out
of cards he still may, draw. The per
son on the right of the one out of cards
draws from the pool. The pool is only
used when absolutely necessary. No
one is allowed to answer any question

Heart toHeart
Talks.
By ED WES A. NYE.
WE MUST FORGET.
The Titanic!
You have not forgotten . how the
great liner on the 15th day of April
crashed into the iceberg that v fared
forth from the frozen nbrth and of how
it slid, like a great coffin, holding Its
1,700 dead, down to the beasts and the
ooze of the sea, two miles below.
Nor of how the captain of millions
and the peasant stood together at the
rail as the cruel sea carried off their
loves and hopes.
But already it is a dim memory.
Just as that vast iceberg in the mid
dle of the nortti Atlantic, towering up
500 feet like a great monument to the
dead below, had drifted into warmer
waters and melted, so after the first
shock of the shuddering plunge of the
Titanic was over so swift does one
woe tread upon another's heels are we
beginning to forget.
Violent . emotion, great sympathy,
quick forgetfulness these are the
features of our modern life.
Some there are who never will for
get -
The memory of the ship's tragedy
has burned into their consciousness a
scar that will not disappear, but in
the general consciousness the thought
is as unmindful as tbe waves above
the dead.
We are like children.
. Scarcely have-the tears dried from
our eyes than the smiles appear. As
when the Titanic went down and the
waves closed together above it. mak
ing smooth waters, so do we forget.
Lest we forget!
' Go to the steamship ticket offices.
Will you not find the same surging
crowds? And even today over the
treacherous waters tourists lounge on
the decks and the owners of dancing
feet find pleasures. '
It is only the surface of our recol
lections that gets printed by the day's
events, and tomorrow's new - Impres
sion wipes it out.
Some things ought not to be forgot
tenthe criminal carelessness of the
ship's owners, the gambling with
death, the taking of chances to save
money, the speed mania. All these
should be remembered, and there
should be exemplary punishment, but
Humanity -must forget!
We cannot always go mourning with
regret Mercifully are our memories
made like children's slates from which
may be wiped the horror of cataclysm
and cruel visitation.
And so the peasant builds his cot
tage on the verge while the crater's-
Iip is. warm. And so tbe smooth sea
smiles, and - .
We forget.
