Most smokers do not know how to :uoke. They not only do not under stand Iiow to prevent smokmr from being obnoxious to others, but t.iey BRKHITOX BEACH is 90 miles wost of Portland, on the P., It. & X. Tly. if is situated on the deepest water on the bay, the channel over the bar be ing preatlv improved bv the jetty. Onef'the latest boats passing over the bar found i7VL. feet of water at half tide. The extension of the jetty will deepen this considerable. ' An Associated Press dispatch in The Ore-onian March 2S reports that the United States Arniv Engineers have recommended that the Government . ap propriate $12X2,000 "for the extension of the present jetty. Senator Jonathan Bourne telegraphs that this has passed the sub-committee of the Senate. , The Brighton Development Company is offering FREE MILL SITES on the tide lands in front of their property. As a result the largest and most mod ern sawmill in Tillamook County is now building at BRIGHTON BEACH. It is estimated that 25,000,000,000 FEET of merchantable timber is tributary to BRIGHTON BEACH. BRIGHTON BEACH bcing.a SEAPORT, it has competitive or terminal rates the same as Portland. Daily trains arc running between Portland and BRIGHTON BEACH. Besides the timber, the immense dairy products of Tillamook County will help make an important city of BRIGHTON BEACH. The fishing industry, too, will be an important factor. LOT themselves miss half the comforts of the "meed." For instance, smokers should slowly and a-ently blow through the cigar, driving- out certain dust and debris which lie within Its folds, es pecially If the purchase is an Inex pensive one. The Uichttngr. too. Is Im portant: the end should be ignited and no more. One puff at the match or tras Jet should be enough to light the edges of the tip. If one holds it longer to the flame, the result is usually to make the tobacco burn faster on one side than on the other. With regard to pipe smoking, do not forget I hut In filling a pipe the main thing Is to make sure It is dry and clean. Press fluffy mixtures down hard for good results. With sliced plug you have a chance to use a little skill. Double the slice In the middle and roll it gently between your palms. Then take the bundle so formed and push It carefully Into the bowl of your pipe, keeping the fibers of the tobacco run ning up and down, not horlxonlally. This gives an even contlnulty-of the shreds along which the light will trav el coolly and sweetly, with a minimum tendency to go out. WAVE TO THE ENGINEER Some Children Xever Weary of Saluting- rasfing Trains. Chicago News. tme would suppose that residents alo.m suburban lines out of Chicago would grow callous to the charms of the flylnir engine with Its train of roaches and Its plume of smoke and steam. In the rural districts, where there are. two or three trains a day, the small country boy would rather run half a mile than miss the show. The first toot of the whistle rouses him to activity and he Is always near the track when the train goes by, waving frantically at the passengers and Baa ing after the. disappearing roaches un til they vanish in the distance. That is to be expected, but what of the city . boy or girl who lives In a neighborhood never relieved of the thunder of passing expresses and lo cals, through trains and freights? Ev ery day a hundred trains pas and sel dom does a J or 5-minute period elapse without mm specimen of rolling stock on the right of way. But city boys and girls are Just as curious over the passing of a train as are tneJr country cousins. An observ ing passenger may see them come tear ing out to the porches of their homes or Hopping their play to wave, until the train has passed. Often, it Is true, no notice Is take-n of them by the pass engers, who have their faces buried in papers or books, but the children's vigil never seems to relax. Their ef forts are not wholly in vain, for at least two grown persons on each pass ing train have grown to appreciate the advances of their little friends along the tracks. These are the engineer and the fireman. Theoe good-natured and sooty-faced cabmen never miss a salu tation. It probably Is true that most of the loyalty of the children is due to the attention they receive from this pair. Conductors, however, belong to a dif ferent class. They have to mix wtth the passengers so much they have be come misanthropic. They eye with suspicion the wavings and gesticula tions and seem to have the Idea that this is merely a new form of protesting against the smoke nuisance. I.trlag F.apeaaes as Llantd Mane).

BY ADDISON BENNETT. GLANCING out the front window of the taxleab Just as we were pass ing the hospital on the way to the ball grounds I noticed that the minute hand on the clock-like dingus nailed to the side of the machine was pointing to eighty. I remarked to Helen that we were going at the rate of SO miles an hour. "Miles." she said, "miles That meana that we have ridden 80 cents worth now It Is 90." I reached around and Jabbed the blamed thing In the eye with my um brella, which seemed to accelerate Its activity, for It Instantly Jumped to a 11.10. I think I fainted then. And I feel perfectly safe In saying that no fellow with a weak heart should ride in one of those indicator machines. To sit and watch the second hand registering the nickels, the minute hand marking up the dimes and the hour hand scoring the dollars It takes nerve and stamina and a thick pockethook to stand the strain; also a heart that works freely on ball-bearings. Escort la Dlseouraaed. Once at the ball field and seated In the northesst bleachers Helen remark ed that I looked rather discouraged, and asked me if the $1.40 paid to the taxlcab pirate had disconcerted me. I asked her not to get Jocular with me. as I was unable to see a Joke, having fallen out of a well several moons ago, thereby breaking my funny-bone. That held her for a moment or two. I had decided to take Helen to the game because I have known her ever since she was big euough to be known, even when she was spending most of her time holding a bottle to her mouth or chewing a rubber nipple. Of re cent years she has been one of the chlefest rooters of the Gamma Delta Gamma girls, down at the U. of O.. par ticularly for the "V" ball team; hence I knew she was onto all of the fine points of, the game, and could prompt me in writing of the whyfores and wherefores of the various plays. As the stands were Ailing up and a fat man behind me. who wore a num ber thirteen shoe, was Jabbing me at regular and Irregular Intervals In the small of the back with the toe thereof. I asked her if she did not wish some of the other Gamma girls were with us to see the fun. "Wish." she remarked, wish? I never wish; I fell from a cistern several moons agone and broke my wish-bone." ' Maalrartst laeldeat Mentioned. Considering the well and cistern inci dents as closed chapters I told her I had a very enjoyable and entertaining time at the last ball game, my com panion being a most affable and charm ing young lady who belongs to the Damma Gllta Damma sorority of the Manicure College. At that she grabbed my hand and began scanning the lines to do a little future-reading herself. "I discern here." she said, "several lines which not only denote real estate they are real estate. By digging them out and adding what Is under your nails vou could start quite a garden." Silence fell while the chief umpire was dusting off the home plate with a broom. Peep silence. I somehow felt that I had erred In mentioning the manicure lady at all. However. I braced up and began discussing the crowd, the players and the new ball field, when Helen remarked that she seemed to be the only lady in the FOR FURTHER PARTICULARS bleachers. Remembering the J1.40 paid for the ride hence, and thinking of the ong walk whence after the game. I let the remark pass without discussion, elaboration or explanation. t A fellow Just in front of us now be gan to explain what a blessing it was to have the Portland boys playing their poor games and having their hard luck at the very beginning of the season, for luck would even up during the Sum mer and we would come from behind with a rush that would sweep every thing before us the "us." of course, meaning the McCredie bunch. Oaklaad Fas Heard From. Just at the left of this prognosticat ing optimist sat an Oakland man. vijo dryly remarked that down in the town where he came from they looked -at things a little different. Just a trifle different, and believed that ten wins in a string looked better in the percent age column than ten losses about 800 per cent better. Just at that Juncture I attracted and distracted attention by purchasing a rtve-cent bag of peanuts, whereupon Helen remarked that extravagance seemed to be my long suit on the pre sent memorable occasion; the next thing probably would be the bargain ing for a hot dog. But she corrected herself instantly by saying hot dogs were still quoted In the open market at ten cents per dog. She had apparently forgotten the $1.60 paid the taxicab pilot. Or was It $1,807 My mind was getting hary In thinking of the inci dentone which will never occur again. Helen Remember Last Year. The game dragged slowly along. It was an up-hill fight, same as the sea son series, with many pessimistic sug gestions to the right and a few opti mistic allusions to the left. But the pessimists seemed to have the better of It. They were looking for and ex pecting the worst and they were not disappointed. When one of them rent the air with a lugubrious remark about a gift one of the Portland play ers had Just handed out. a real optimis tic fan came back with the remark, "Don't you know we came from be hind and won the pennant last year?" And we did, as Helen seemed to re member, even remembered the close shave by which we gained it. even knew the finishing percentage of each team. . So she raised tip to her full height, which is something less than six feet, for she has grown faster longi tudinally than latltudlnally. and wav ing her picture hat In the air she yelled at the top of her voice. "Hurrah for thxi champions, hurray for the Beavers, hip. hip. and hooray for those who are cheerful and helpful in the moment of adversity remembering the days fff victory." ' And by gum! The atmo sphere seemed to change, the gloom lifted, gladness took the place of sad ness, and one fine and sensible gentle man remarked, "We may lose; but It Is a darned shame to be quitters before the season is fairly open; let us hoop it up and encourage the boys." And Helen remarked that almost any body could be a graceful winner while but few could be cheerful losers. "Let us," she said, "have sense enough to be gsme whether we sre on the roof or in the cellar." .Vancouver Man's mineral Held. VANCOUVER, Wash.. April 21. (Spe cial.) Vancouver Masonic bodies con BRIGHTON BEACH is protected from the ocean by the long sand-spit di rectlv across the bay, affording' a safe harbor for large vessels and small craft. Backed bv unlimited resources, BRIGHTON BEACH will naturally develop into an important SEAPORT AND MANUFACTURING CITY. While Brighton Beach is not a beach resort, it overlooks beautiful NEILAr LEM BAY and the ocean and is protected from the elements. The FINEST BEACHES IN OREGON-are close by, and across the bay Garibaldi Beach, lying one mile to the south. BRIGHTON BEACH is sheltered from the cold winds, and the bay affords unlimited boating and fishing pleasures. About 900 persons have purchased lots in BRIGHTON BEACH. The let ters of appreciation from buyers are evidence of satisfaction from those who have gone to BRIGHTON BEACH. There are big cities today which had not one-third the advantages of BRIGHTON BEACH. BRIGHTON BEACH is high and sightly no sand, no rock. Improvements are now under way. , The J. W..Shafford Company is now logging off the prop erty. 'Street work and grading will follow. An investment at present prices will be profitable. Witness the history of Raymond, Aberdeen, Hoquiam and other SEAPORT and LUMBER MANUFACTURING CITIES.

FUTURE BOOKS OF METAL Edison Says Steel, Copper and Xickel Can Replace Paper. Eric Adolphus Dime in the New York .Tribune. At the present rate of depletion of our forests, the time is not far away when the pulp supply for the manufac ture of paper will have reached its end. Leading lumbermen say that the visible supply of standing timber in the United States and Canada will last only from SO to 50 years more, and unless reforestation is carried out on a large scale publishers Will then have to look to some other material to serve as a substitute for paper for books and periodicals. But take heart: the danger Is not so Imminent as It appears. If a prophecy made by Thomas A. Edison the other dav comes true, the books of the future will not be printed on paper. The "wisard" of Lewellyn Park confidently expects that the books of the coming ages will be printed on pages of nickel or steel. A prophecy by Mr. Edison is not a wild dream. The famous inventor gen erally knows what he is talking about before he makes a prediction. The as sertions made by him are preceded by experiments which he quietly conducts In his laboratory. He works secretly for weeks, months, and sometimes years on problems before he takes the I V. i 1 kl. .nnflif.nf.. And Wtlfill he I has made a discovery he derives real pleasure from letting ine wunu " about it. I came to this conclusion the other day as I sat In his laboratory studio discussing with him the Euro pean trip from which he had Just re turned and his plans for the future. Among the, questions asked him was thls: "Can we ever expect a good substi tute for paper in the printing of books and periodicals?" "Why, yes; steel, copper or nickel will do." And Mr. Edison said this in as com monplace a way as one man would tell another that a trip from Manhattan to New Jersey could be made through the Hudson tunnels as well as in a ferry boat. Steel, copper or nickel can take the place of paper then. And that means that the material for the books that will line the shelves of libraries of future generations will be taken out of the bowels of the earth instead of from the forests which adorn its sur- Continuing to discuss this subject, the Inventor of the phonograph said: "By an electro-chemical process I can make sheets of steel, copper or nickel that will absorb printers' Ink.- Of the three metals I consider nickel to be the best substitute for paper. ,It is possible to produce a sheet of this metal one twenty-thousandth of an Inch in thickness and make it cheaper, tougher and more flexible than ordinary book paper." As he said this Mr. Edison strolled over to one of the shelves and returned with a book with a thickness of about two Inches, saying. "If the leaves of this book were made o nickel. It would contain 40,000 leaves, and it would weigh only about a pound." Xcw Fishing Boat Sails The nsw fishing boat Orcgonlan has COMPANY sailed from Pucet Sound on her maiden voyage. The craft will engage in deep sea purse seine lishinp off the mouth of the Columbia River and is captained by P. Milos. a man of experience in this kind of fishing.
