PAGE THREE There Is Delight in Solitude If It's of the Right Sort The Perforation Age A Loo at the Western CoastPicturesque and Wild E,ew? 3 "M "Who has not traversed the alienee of tho winding forest road and felt the awesomeness of its enchanting solitude has missed one of the de lights of Western life. Great expanses of pine, fir, spruce and hemlock extend on either side the way, into whose dense growth the eye pene trates but a few yards. The whirr of tho partridge and the swift flight of the deer rouse one from his reverie; the Boughing of the wind in the tree-tops sounds its accompaniment to the harmony of his silent thought. A sudden turn in the Toad brings up new wonders of the virgin solitude, while here and there a lonely caliin announces tho settler, the pathfinder in the wilderness. Built of sturdy logs, nature's own untainted build ing material, rising but a single story and boasting but a single room, the cabin of the Bcttler stands as the reminder of the heroism of those of for mer years who blazed the trail wo now are following. The hosiptality of the cabin is typical of the forerunners of settlement. Here, perhaps, will rise, in the distant future, a city. One never can tell. Perhaps the stream just above will one day be harnessed and its power be used to sup ply unborn generations with light, power and heat. Who can Bay that the trail blazed by the men of long ago shall not lead future genera tions to heights of achievement not dreamed of todayf For the forest road has no end. It leadB on and on into the great boundless wealth of timber, adding new wonders and beauties as it goes, so that the traveler is loath to return. Donatelli (Dinetella). Chop very fine about 5 slices of bacon, fry until the grease ia well out, add a little olive oil, 1, large onion and 5 sections' of garlic. Fry until well done. Add 4 green peppers, parsley and Italian dried mushrooms chopped fine, 1 can of tomatoes of ordinary size. Add Bait, black pepper and paprika to suit taste. Cook mix ture 114 hours. If it becomes too dry add water or stock Boiip. Stir well to keep from burning, about half an hour before it has finished cooking place 2 pounds of donatelli in a pot of salted boiling water and cook until wqll done; when done add the mixture in a frying pan and butter the Bize of a walnut, or egg, or use cream. Boil five minutes. Have already pre pared some grated Holland or Italian cheese. Place a layer of donatelli in a pan similar to a milk pan, then sprinkle with cheese and black pep per. Add layers of donatelli and cheese until pan is full, sprinkle over con siderable cheese and bake 20 min utes. Instead of using water to boil donatelli, tlio stock from soup bone, veal or chicken can bo used and is better. If desired some meat can be chopped fiuo and sprinkled over tho eheese, except on the top layer. See that there is plenty of juice on tho donatelli. Gravies from meats can be spread over tho top before baking. This recipe is enough to serve six peo pleMrs. Oran Lyttle, Modesta, Cal. The electrification of the Mt. Hood I?ailway, one of the branch lines of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co., will be commenced at once aud it is expected that by summer trains over this line will be operated by electricity instead of by steam, as at present. Tho line is 'J3 miles in length, reaching from Montnvilla to Bull Hun. Its electrifi cation will cost about $175.01)0. That the world at least the me chanical world may one' day be con trolled and operated through tho agency of slips of perforated paper is asserted in the editorial depart ment entitled "Looking Forward" in Cassier's Magazine. Control of ma chinery by perforated paper was first devised and introduced by Joseph Marie Jacquard about a century ago, in the loom that bears his name. In the Jacquard loom erforated cards control the movements so that pre determined patterns are woven, in dependently of the skill of the imme diate operator. More recently, the principle has been widely used in me chanical musical-instrument players, to which it was first applied about forty years ago. It has been em ployed also in the monotype machine, in telegraph systems and in less fa miliar connections, and we are told that the possibilities of the device, are far-reaching, especially since the introduction of electricity has made it possible to extend this kind of con trol over distant apparatus. Tho writer of the article in Cassier's bids us look forward to the working of all sorts of machine tools and even to tho control and operation of railway trains by a similar system. We read: "The entire modern tendency in mechanical operations appears, not only in the substitution of machinery for macual operations wherever pos sible, but also in the planning of the manipulation by others than those by whom the work is done. Tire use of planning departments, functional fore men, instruction cards, and Bimilar preliminaries to the actual perform ance of the work, is being generally discussed and" occasionally applied; but with the exception of certain forms of tabulating machines and typesetters, and of such devices as moving electrical signs, there seems to be little employment made of the most complete method of recording and controlling movements that of a piece of perforated paper. "It seems entirely within reason to state that no machining operation is so complicated or involves so many movements, so variously timed, as ap pears, in the performance of even a simple musical composition by a me chanical piano-player; and when ' wo consider the accuracy and effective ness with which the most elaborate compositions are rendered by such machines the applicability of the method to repetition processes in man ufacturing seems worthy of consid eration. , . . "The number of operations which may be controlled for any one ma chine is by no means limited, any more than the number of different C y v fcrf J '"'1 s - J. The ruggedness of the Oregon coast presents many a picturesque scene when the incoming billow daub au.i foam over jutting crags and half-submerged rocks. Here the clam digger finds the rarest sport and U agate hunter is lured on and on after the receding breaker in search of rarest stones. The above scene gives a view of an Incoming sea breaking in fine spray over the rocks. In the distance is an old government lighthouse, set there years ago to warn the passing steamer of the nearness of dangerous rocks. Tho scene is typical of the West ern coast, offering, as it docs, an illustration of a topography that is quite general. musical compositions is limited for any paino equipped for use with the perforated roll. . . . The unlim ited possibilities of the Jacquard prin ciple over any othor thus constitutes one of its greatest advantages. Any change or modification in a series of operations with the paper strip may bo made simply by preparing a differ ent set of perforations, just as one written order of instructions super sedes another; and thus it appears that a form of control in which in structions are positively combined with their execution is available for tht most intricate manufacturing operations." Buttermilk Yeast. One quart of buttermilk, boil about two or three minutes, pour about IVi pints of gill over 1 pint of sifted meal, or pour enough buttermilk over tho meal to make it about like corn cake batter, stirring all the time you are pouring tho hot buttermilk over the meal. Put in cup 1 cake of yeast, or 1. cup of crimmcd yeast. Cover with lukewarm water. Let soalt until meal and buttermilk cools. Kien add yeast, keep in warm placo. Let it set until blubbers will raise thick on top, then stir it every time they raise. Stir about 20 times. Stir enough sifted meal in it to make it dry enough to crumble. Put on board to dry, allowing same to get thor oughly dry. Then put in paper sack and tie securely. Half cup of yeast to 4 loaves of bread Mrs. Herbert T. Troup, Edwardsport, Ind. The Stenographer's Inning. On a trial in a certain court in this state, says Law Notes, when the wit ness on the stand was being subjected to a merciless cross-examination, in answering one question the witness nodded. Whereupon tho court stenog rapher, who was crowding the limit to get it all and could not see the witness, at once demanded: "Answer that question," to which the witness replied: "I did answer it; I nodded my head." The stenographer, without a mo ment's hesitation came right back with, "Well, I heard it rattle, but could not tell whether it was up and down or from side to side." They'll take 'most anything these days. A Chicago man has reported to the police that thieves stole tho roof of his house. The roof was new and the lumber looked good to the rob bers, evidently.

PORTLAND ADVERTISING SCHOOL 301 Phoenix Bldg. Portland, Oregon Better Living-More Money Solving the Problem of a For ALL on the Coast For years, the cry has been, here on the coast, "BUY A FARM OB ACREAGE, AND YOU'LL MAKE A GOOD, EASY LIVING." TOnwSirn1118 ls trU8- But 018 fact remain8' that 8et the mnst out ' a fam or Plece of ni, or out of a store, or whatever other profession or business we may be in, THESE MUST BE SOMEONE WHO WILL BUY THOSE XHUfGS HA VE TO SELL. The man who buys these things ls practically always the man who cannot produce them himself. Here In the West, we need more men who are engaged in manufacturing enterprises men who work in mills and shops. These men and their families need all such things as are now produced on the coast and must buy them of those nearby who produce them. n It is plain, therefore, that to reap the greatest amount of good from the business in which we are engaged, THIS BIG WESTERN COUNTRY MUST BE MORE PERFECTLY BALANCED IN THE LINES OF BUSINESS IN WHICH ITS INHABITANTS ARE ENGAGED. Did you ever stop to think That only a very small part of the manufactured goods that we buy every day of our lives are made here on the coastf The people who should be using those things which we produce are not living near us. Just think what it would mean to the small farm owners alone if most of the furniture, cereal foods, clothes, etc., which they buy wore made right here at home by men who, in turn, were buying their vegetables, butter, eggs, etet Think of the advantage to every man, woman and child who now lives here if, with mills and factories located along our rivers and in our cities,, large and small, thousands upon thousands of families were living hero employed in these mills! The result would not only be a better mnrket for what is now produced, but a better price on those manufactured articles which we are buying every day. instead of paying for high transportation rates from the Kast, the raw mate rials would be manufactured into the finished product and sold right here at home. It is plain thnt what we need is more and larger manufacturing institutions. The result in increased prices for what we produce and cheaper prices on the manufactured goods we have to buy is sure to follow. Prosperity Problem Solved The question is, "How can we get to that state!" The answer is simple We, ourselves, arc responsible for the present condition for the shortugo in mills and factories. We are to blame because there are not right now thousands upon thousands of families drawing good weekly pay envelopes, enabling them to put a large amount of money into circulation among us. It is our own fault that we hnve to pay excessive prices for many articles. It is our own fuult that we send our raw products Kast to be made up, then bring thorn back hero and pay Eastern fac tories and Eastern cities to make what we ought to have made right here. The factories on the coast are anxious to go ahead to enlarge, to employ thou sands more of men. But the territory in which they can sell their output is limited to this coast alone, in almost every case. They cannot compote with big Kastern manufacturers. They cannot sell in the Eastern markets. In many cases, they have not the large amount of capital to advertise extonsivoly, even in this, their home territory. They cannot go into the papers and magi i.tcs ami convince you that the goods they make are as good if not better, a .'heap it not cheaper for you to buy, as Eastern made goods. We know it is the desire of almost every family on the coast to boost for coast made goods, because it helps every familv living here. It means better times, more money for everyone, better property values uud iiiaca-cd prosperity if we can make our own manufactured articles from our own raw products and keep the money circulating among ourselves. In the past, however it has been impossible for us to know the Pacific Coast made products. We could not ordinarily toll whether what we wnntod was made on tho coast. To lot everyone know plainly, in advance, whether a product is made on the coast, manufacturers are now uniting and using the stamp which is shown here to designate a coast made article. Whatever you wish to purchase, ask for such an article bearing this stamp Almost everything you can think of that you may need is made on the coast and made well. If you boost for it, the result will be that such factories making such products can grow, can give work to more peoplo; can help YOU to Better Living Conditions for All Show this article to your friends. Tell them what it means to everyone on the coast Explain to them how it means money In their pockets if they will Demand this stamp on every article they buy. Ask yonr dealer to show yon this stamp on the goods he wants to sell you. Remember, every time you Insist on an article bearing this stamp, you are helping several Pacific Coast families Your Own, and all those Interested In that product. DEALERS: Ask your jobbers to supply yon with goods bearing the Pacific Coast Products Stamp. Yonr customers will be asking for them.
