THE RIGHT STUFF
It isn't always the big fellow fi
iinitrinlly who in helping his gov
ernment noinetiiiieM the man in
the common walk of life in there
with lull. A fellow by the name
of 4'. C. WiUon blew Into town
last week, dressed III the garb of
ti laborer. He had been up to the
construction camp on (tilled
Creek, and didn't like the layout,
so he ipiit and blew Into the conn
ty seat. Many thought that he
was just the ordinary type of
rambler, but when he accidental
ly dropped bin "weaiel skin" on
the street and it was picked up
by a pedestrian, it was found to
contain a paid up 80 liberty
bond, a certified cashier's check
for a neat little Hum, and Nome
ffiihl. When it wai returned to
him Wilson offered to pay a de
cent reward, but "nothing do
ing." The fellow who returned
the find told him he wan glad to
give him back bin Iosn, an lie ap
preciated bin patriotic spirit.
"Oh, the devil," said WiUon
"That's all any good American
can do who can't persuade the
officials to allow him to enlist.
I'm too old they say, and I'm only
47 nt tlmt. Hut they won't let me
join except in the trades capac
ity, and unfortunately I have no
trade excepting that of meat cut
ter. So I'm going to work here
and invent a little from time to
lime in the Hed Cross and bonds,
mid if the worst comes to the
worst, I'll 'ish it and go over to
France, anyway, and work my
way into some fighting company.

NEW RAILWAY LI
Southern Pacific Presumably in
Field for a New Line
SURVEYORS NOW IN FIELD
Tapi Rich Timber Section From
Manning to Nehalcm
Southern Pacific engineers are in
the field on a survey of a logging
railway from some point near
Manning, on the P. It. & N., to
the Nehulem. They have survey
ed a preliminary from the crest
of the mountain nt the Heaver
Creek divide and have surveyed
this way, now being camped near
the Tolke place, C. L. lirown
says that one line runs through or
by his property and Crawford's,
and will probably connect some
where near the Manning station.
The projected line expects to run
to the summit and then down
Heaver Creek, where it will tap a
fine body of timber. The road
runs over near the J. It. Hailey
place and then touches near (ten
ner's. It has been known for a
long time that there would be an
other line into the Nehalcm, the
Tillamook line not reaching all
the best timber.
There are many fine farms up
in the section above liuxton
which will be made valuable by
the advent of a railway, and next
Spring the company will more
than likely start construction.

A 1 ACREAGE OF
Rcporti From Farm Districts Are
Cheering for Bread Users
FALL FAVORABLE TO ALL
Still Seeding and Input is Twenty
rive Per Cent Larger
Washington County, will have a
much larger acreage of Winter
sown grain next season than it
lid in 1917. The Fall of 1916
was n poor one for the Fall sown
grain, and as this is the best pro
ducer it was a matter of regret to
the farmers. This Fall started in
bad, but the farmers pushed the
work rapidly when plowing was
in season and it is now said that
there will be fully twenty-five
per cent more acreage for harvest
of this kind next year.
Fall-sown grain is always much
better in yield than the Spring
crop, and this will mean more
money to producers. The Winter
wheat has been yielding all the
way from 30 to 45 bushels per
acre, and the favorable Fall now
means a big wheat yield with
conditions anywhere near right
next Summer.
Tractors have been used in a
number of instances, and when
a farmer has had this machine in
use he has taken a big advantage
of moist conditions.
Frank Rowell, of Scholls, was
in the city Monday.
John TraehscI, of Helvetia.
held his sale Saturday, and start
ed for San Francisco to assume
his duties in the United States

days, having sold his interest in
the commission business to Leon
ard Brown, who is now a partner
with J. W. Connell. Mr. Collier
and wife will soon leave for Cali
fornia for the Winter.
Postage on letters in the city
and on the rural routes will cost
but two cents postage. Many
three-cent stamps have been at

Saturday evening, Dec. 22. and
Sneed's orchestra will furnish the
music. Prizes given. Tickets $1 ;
spectators, 25 cents. Everybody
invited. Victor and Oscar Feu-
erstein, Managers.
Hugh Rogers, the sealer for
the S. P. Company, says that the
camps in the mountains will op
erate every day as long as there
is any decent weather. Mill men
have but a short supply of logs

for lumber everywhere.

Hazel boy who shot himself a
few weeks ago, was again in the
hospital the past week. He was
brought up for an appendicitis
operation, and Dr. Smith used the
knife successfully on the young
man. He is still a little weak,
but is getting along nicely.
John Nyberg nnd Chas. Gei-
berger, of Tualatin, were in the

with the county court. Mr. Ny
berg's son, Claude, is on the San

folks.
The government has evolved a
way wherein the poorer man can
help finance the Nation in its war

period of purchase, the sum of
between $4.12 and $4.23, and on
Jan. 1, 1928, the government will
pay $5 for its cancellation. The
local postmaster, Mr. Lamkin, re
ports quite a few sales. Anyone
can purchase up to $1,000 worth
and many all over the country
