It bat to do with port facili ties. It is a mart of the instm- I ) mentalities creatQlty the law which ."" the government building of merchant ' : :; aip. ii is mown as me port ana iiar- ; bors Facilities board. It is des- j bribed by Engineer Hegaldt f the j Portland Docks commission as one of the moat efficient and most pracr i t tieal workln bodies in Washington. . " T, 4 V-1. I I. l K. ah instrumentality of great value In ,: stimulating the effectiveness of t j; American ports. J J, Somebody had told this board the. fAilmarlnO' That the Columbia river do not liave t i. a aurnciant aem or wiur.otut'Mt. II '; that It la a danaeroua bar jod aVold4 t i- by' ahlpplnar men on that account. ! !' . When this statement was Ohuoted .recently to Mr. Hegardt, he pointed j 2' out to the board that the- survey ; of ; the United States engineers showed a channel over the bar tf 40 foot denth. or in feet mnrn than it; the official depth at the entrance io Golden Gate. The attack on the I Columbia entrance, he learned, was made by a shipowner who . lost 1 a vessel there several years ago. Mr. T Hegardt explained to the board that the bar conditions of several years ago- do not 'apply - to conditions of today when the depth of water on the bar is 'approximately as great as in thesSS?TSfbors in the country. This Is not a new ' episode of the kind. Possibly.' Portland Is partly responsible. Perhaps we are not active enough In thundering through the country, and especially in the' j departments at Washington, the exact t facts relative to the Columbia; river 'and the port of-Portland. Many of us . may not comprehend what a port and a proper port classi- flcation means to us. Some of us ! fail to grasp the faet that this . 1 port, 'used to capaolty, would' mean dollars to the , man in, the ' street, . the maid In the kitchen, the farmer i out In his fields, the orchardit I 'among his fruit trees, the dairyman among his herds, the water front k owner on his wharves, the realty S owner under the shadow of his office building, the little" r home ! owner out in the suburbs. 5 It even happens that persons In J Portland, in contravention of the facts and truth, occasionally rise up and say we can have no real j port , here, and so on and" so. on. It is strange, but it is true. At this moment there is on the desk - of the writer a letter from a Pdrt ! lander questioning the potentialities t of the port of Portland - and the Co- ' lumbia river. In this town, the newsboy, the i elevator girl, the banker, the manu- a facturer, the man in overalls, the i house maid, the artisan, the capital 1st, every individual of whatever degree, ought to be an advocate,, a , rooster, a pusner, a devoted pro-J- 1 ponent of the port of Portland, and ; each ought to be -everlastingly at it S Over in Europe they make great ! seaports, the best in the world, out of creeks, and when completed J many of them do not approximate ! the majestlo Columbia river with Its 40 feet of water on the bar and -its 30-foot channel to Portland. The good work moves apace,' The farther ,It proceeds the greater Its velocity. : The rout sof the Germans nas cecome a gooa deal like 'i I huge boulder rolling down hilL I: CET A FIT RETIREMENT of llr. Dugan,rep- f resentative Of 1 thei , .poetlan- if. Chamber of Commerce at Wash Ington, Is ' announced' .-.f ; If the plan of keeping a-represeo tathe at Washington is to be fol lowed' there should be no question about : the capabilities and effective- ness of. the manv It is no disrespec to the - late ' representative ' ;to ; say that no.man is. too big for he po t si Hon. NThe best and stroneest'man lo be had- will "have -att - and mora than he c-n do. Unless such a rep resentative is retained, , why have any? . It Is better to have no representa tive t aU than .to have ona who is weak or Ineffective. The ioh Is td3 expensive ' to be filled by a ' non effective. The position requires man of brains, of tact,' of eourage and, above all, a man who can be relied; on to get what he goes after. It would seem to be wise to have an Oregon pian because he " knows condition? first' hand and ie ; stimulated 'hy; the fact that he is working for 'ome thing more than the, salary." A great deal of care Is necessary in making a proper selection. ' Time should be taken for full delibera tion and discrimination. Then when a selection Is made, the service will be worth the salary: : " COLLAPSING HILE our fourth Ltbertf . loan has been in progress .Germany has also been tryingto . sell a big war loan to her people. It has been a failure. The reports speak of It as a "disastrous ailure.w It appears that the long-suffering Oerrmm people have staked"' about as much of their money on the cue cess of the Junker policies as they fan aJgtrd. The kaiser has eome to' the -end of his rope. Nothing much remains for him but to go and .hang .him self. Bulgaria has deserted him and Turkey is eager to do the same. The Austrian empire Is falling in pieces. Finland is again ready to fight for Jier lost1 liberties. ; The Germans are' almost' driven out of France. Their hold on Belgium is slackening. fllitary observers . say that they are ' secretly preparing for a grand retreat back to the borders of the fatherland. No doubtgthey wish they had never left it to rob and murder their neighbors. But since they did so -they . must, now . reconcile- themselves the best they can to paying the damages. The British will oblige them to make good , the ; illegal submarine sinkings. The Frehoh and Belgians will demand reparation for their wantonly, devastated fields and cities. Serbia has A -heavy account to settle With.-the ae.nnaM aid their Bulgar allies. 'When the damages ..have all beefin .liquidated war.ywill - probably not wear the holiday aspect it did in the Central European countries when the German school children celebrated the sinking of the Lusl tania and its murder of women and children. For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain the kaiser and his satellites are peculiar. The thing they, want most Tin the wide world ust now is peace. . The great ob stacle to such a peace as they wish for is the United States. The United States Js eager to push tho war on to a decisive victory. "If you do that," cry the kaiserltes, you will incite a Bolshevik revolution in Germany." Rather a Cunning move, is it not? A move artfully devised to work upon our fears, for in .'this country we are no friends to r the Bolshevik! and their revolutions. AN OLD TIME PEDAGOGUE L ANE COUNTY is elated over the perennial youth of one of its teachers.. His name is Jasper N. Miller. He is 78 years old, but wields the birch and book with all the Vigor of tl. Mf. Miller's great accomplishment. Is his pen manship, of which he says In a Eugene paper, that he is proud. He boasts that he is one of the best penmen In Oifegon. We do not believe that Mr. Miller will be any the wof- teacher for his years.. Many of uefjooking back to boyhood's days recall that the best part of our schooling was ob tained under men like -Mr. Miller, who had grown gray with time and experience. Some of them were a little hot-tempered. . They used the birch more freelythan up-to-date sentiment permits. But their "schol ars" certainly learned their lessons. in those days pupils were never advised by their elders "not to let their studies interfere with their educatics. They went to school to study. And when they passed on to college it was for the , same purpose. The theory that college politics Is better than "book learn ing" had not yet come into vogue? Mr. MiUetahas a . specialty pen manship. - Most of the rare old pedagogues pf a bygone dav had on. Some . ' were great arithmeticians. Some ad English grammar at their tongues' ends. They drilled their pupils in analysis and . parsing,' falsa syntax and conjugations until the v really knew ."something- about their mother tongue, vastly different was their instruction from the simper ing "language , lessons" . of a softer age. -"ai-.V--., - Mary Wilkinl ' Jo .one.

He ought not to do it We had the contract labor system in vogue at the prison for a long time, and know what it means. We had the old stove foundry contract with its dehumanizing influences and its con stant source of irritation. Every backward step that Cover- nor Withycombe has taken at the prison has been a costly step. A mistake was made by the 1917 legis lature when, 'at the request of the governor's- friends, the management of the prison was taken away from the state board of control and turned over to the governor's office. The increase In the oost of the institu tion is an amazing record of extrava gance and bad business management. to say nothing of the scandals about a traffic In narnloB h thrift -I.a " w 1 omciais. That the penitentiary can be con-1 duf te'd at far, less cost without sale of prison made goods - was fully demonstrated in his time by Gover nor West. With prisons, everywhere passing nearer and nearer towards a self sustaining basis, the legisla ture, -even If Governor Withyobmbe requests it, should not permit a dis carded and discredited policy -to be brought back into Oregon prison management. , Lille is - a manufacturing city 'nf 200,000 inhabitants.

Last night I boarded tho boat at Havre at dusk for the trip across Che channel to England. One cannot embark on Ahls Journey without being moved. For more than four years, soldiers by hundreds ot thousands have gone over from England to be living stones to tha wall that has held back tha vast gray flood that threatened tho human race. Countless thousands of these gallant British lads lie in nameless graves to France. Thou sands have come back to England by. uus same route, strong to courage but broken in body, to bear for all time tha mark of tho beast living- testimo nials of kultur. Across this channel have come and. cone tho wolves to sheep's clothing who, though long guests of England, hare been accepting tha Kaisers se pieces of silver. -e e e The "all ashore" signal la given. An officer's wife stands by tha rail and. with tightly closed lips and true British stoicism, wavea her hand to the officer on the dock. He ts returning to the front.. Both are wondering if this la "till wa meet again" or tha last fare well. A group of officers a brigadier g-eneral. a colonel, several majors and half a score - of captains and lieuten ants are standing on the forward dock talking to low tones. Hero and there ona sees the glowing spark of a gold- tipped,: perfumed ; cigarette, whero group- -of- handsomely- -gowned young women are BlUlngy The purity ex their Frencn may mean that they are Pa risians, or may Indicate that' they are actresseav Who. as a rule, speak ossoal- lent French.

Steam, gas aad "Juice" are bringing- ua closer to every other habit able oart of it. For ail practical pur poses, tho Atlantlo ocean la only a tenth as wide aa It waa ta tne oays ox tne Mayflower, and a twentieth of its vast stretch in the time of Columbus. No where te this better illustrated than In tho aweep of pestilences and tho spread ot epidemics. Contrary to traditional belief these visitations of the wrath of God do not tali from the skies Or travel upon the wings of the wind. They, have to bo laboriously carried from place to place by messenger, and the couriers are nine times out of ten either human beings or insects. Epidemics follow trade, and spread along trade routes. When the traveling merchant packs his grip and seta forth to cover his terri tory, he carries with him, unwittingly, a side line of samples, which . display themselves without any effort on his part And aa cars travel ' far faster than caravans, and steam snips : tnan schooners, epidemics spread at some thing like ten times the rate that they used to. An outbreak of cholerk or in fluenza in Russia or In Egypt Interests us more keenly, and reaches ua quicker than one Just on the other side of the AUeghenles did 150 years ago. that the Bolshevik! committed to the belief that Germany waa on tho eve ot a. revolution similar to that to Russia; out 1 vv ua go vu wiui " .
