Ornro. undr tlx Act of Mmrck . llTl NORTHWEST NOTES Tillamook will celebrate the opening of its railroad from that city to a point in the Nehalem Valley near Wheeler on July 1 This road will probably be op ened between Portland and Tilla mook in the fall. That this will be the biggest year Oregon has ever known with the biggest crop total in its history, is the prediction made by Dr. James Withycombe, director of the United States Experiment Station at Corvallis. He esti mates that the total value of Oregon crops for 1911 will be more than $125.000,000. Portland now claims to have the fastest motor boat in the world, the Oregon Wolf having just been launched, and it made its first appearance at races ran during the Rose Festival. This craft was built solely for speed purposes and it is expected to race her throughout the country. She runs at the rate of 41 miles an hour. German-speaking societies of Portland have raised a fund to be used in connection with a sum provided by the Commercial Club to be expended in attracting Ger man immigration to Oregon. It is planned to devote the money to the publication of German booklets, telling of the advan tages Oregon offers to the settler and in answering letters of in quiry in the German language. Oregon's newly formed Naval Reserve will have a flagship be fore the end of the month for the United States Cruiser, Boston has been ordered transferred to duty at Portland and will be brought here during the coming week by the officers of this or ganization. It will thereafter be the headquarters of the Reserve and will participate in practice cruises to train the officers and men in naval maneuvers. Loggers of the Columbia River Basin will go to Vancouver, B.C., to attend the third annual Log ging Congress to be held there June 22-23. The conditions that obtain in this industry will be discussed thoroughly and all mat ters of interest to timbermen will be taken up. It is expected this will be one of the most import ant meetings ever held in the history of Northwest logging and there promises to be a large at tendance. Politicians who make it a point to look into the future are of the belief that unless the Taft ad ministration does something with in the next few months to relieve the situation in Alaska, Mr. Taft will not get much support from the Northwest in his fight for re nomination. There seems to be no doubt that the administra tion's policy toward Alaska has tended to tie up the resources of the country with the result that the people of that country are not in a position to carry on much business with the Northwest States. It is true that the country as a whole is not enjoy ing boom times at present, but the concensus of opinion is that if Alaska were permitted to go ahead with its development, the Northwest would be in much bet ter shape financially. It is up to Taft and his followers to get busy if they expect any support from the Northwest HEAT CAUSES DEATH OF TWENTY-EIGHT PERSONS OflW-lnl ivH)rU by th health de. litrtmMit of CIiIchko, Jiit priMtMht-rt, ajr thnt M-roii died of bent In that city during May. THE MERE MAN'S VIEWPOINT THE MESSAGE WITHHELD By ETKON WILLIAMS O' NCK upon tinu tliorv carue tnta tlw fi1n of AiMpemone two lover. Hor form wa as Uth and aa rraoeful as the weeping willow, her eyes like the brown depths of an autumn tinted pool, her Upa as red as the auu kissed aide of Twl apple and hor voice aa atlvery cweet aa the tinkle of a water fall caressing the atones at the ford. He was stalwart, clear of eye. strong of limb, bis balr like spun silk, bis teeth white and regular. In bis face there glowed the enthusiasm of lova and youth, the determination to do or die. And they loved each other. Men and women like this have loved since from the cosmos creation sprang Into being. Men and women like this have stood before Hymen and have taken the vows that have made them one In purpose, one In union, one in affection. And these two, like tholr progenitors, stood at the altar and plighted their troth. Days came and went, the honeymoon was passed and the realities of life set- THB MESSAGE WITHHELD. tied upon them. Gladly they took up the duties, the joys and the hopes of married life, and for a time they were very happy. But after awhile the man. picking up bright pebbles on the shore of the lake of paradise, became In tensely Interested in bis hunt. From early morning until late at night the man scoured the shelving sands for cornelians and brilliants and diamonds and rubles. As time sped his pastime became a passion and not only his waking hours but bis dreams were fill ed with this mad desire to hoard pretty stones. His wife, sorrowful, noted his pred ilection for garnering heaps of treas ure. Day by day she saw his heart go out from her to the things be sought. At times she almost cried out in the agony of her yearning for a single word from him a little word of sym pathy and love. This went on month after month, year after year, until the strain upon the woman had stolen the freshness from her cheeks and the luster from her eye, until she was a mere echo of the beautiful creature he had won In Agapemone. To the woman s horror the man seemed sometimes to realize that her beauty had fled, but still he did not seem to understand that her very soul cried out for a single word of love, a little embrace of affection. One day the man came home from his hunt, his pockets bulging with the pebbles of the lake shore, his mind full of avarice, to find the woman stricken with a disease that left her speechless. Her limbs were paralyzed, her face as white as the linen of the bed on to which she had fallen. As though awakened from a great stupor the man attempted to restore her, but his efforts, though half fran tic, were futile, and from her lips could come no sound to direct or as sure him that what be did helped to alleviate her suffering. Only her eyes spoke to him, appeal ing with a strange language he could not fathom. His heart was wrung by the appeal in the orbs that once were s beautiful as the depths of the foun tain, an appeal be could not sense. And with this look of hunger, with this steadfast gaze upon him, she died. The man hardly realized bis loss at first. Out under a beautiful scarlet maple he dug a grave and hooped a mound above the mortal remnant of the once beautiful and graceful wo man who had been so much to blm In the golden honeymoon days. And then the great lonely, loveless life swoojied down upon lilm, making him helpless, nerveless, broken. Every thing be touched reminded him of her. Everywhere he went he saw some thing to speuk to his heart of her lov ing rare and solicitude. At lust In otter woe he threw himself upon the told soil of the mound and cried out: "Oh, Mary, Mary, bow I miss you! now I loved your Daybreak found bim by her grave repeating bin love, and In the moon light he aat beside her grave and re pented bis assurances of undying af fection, but from the grave came no answer, inn pile or pebble mooiiea blm; the wave and the wind and the punbesnis scoffed at him. Broken and Uieiit. he wasted away until a merci ful Ood took blm home. In the light of heavenly understand ing let us hope that the man learned bis lesson and that In the union above ber heart no longer hungered onto dMth tot little word of love.
