Loganberry Laughs By Robert Qulllen. Of Little Faith According to statements made by the Portland Chamber of Commerce,, $200,000,000 of Portland money has been in vested in outside and foreign enterprises since January 1, 1918, and only $500,000 in new manufacturing enterprises in Portland. The same situation obtains to a large extent in other Oregon cities. Millions of dollars have been sent out of Salem during this interval for investment elsewhere and a comparatively small amount invested in local enterprises.

Most Oregonians are pessimists when it somes to Oregon And have little faith in the state and its future. And with out faith, little can be accomplished. The region that lacks faith in its own resources, is not in a position to secure out side assistance in their development and consequently in dustry lags. The cities that grow are those whose citizens have faith in their communities and the civic pride and patriotism t hiit backs that faith with money, with foresight and ener gy hi vizualize the future and realize its opportunities. Had the Pilgrim Fathers whose tercentenary we celebrate today, had as little faith in themselves and in the wilderness in which they landed, as the people of Oregon today have in Oregon the development of America would have been delayed indefinately. The Pilgrims would have refused to hjav take a chance. Had the pioneers of Oregon as little taith in the resources of the territory as many of their descendents have in the state, there never would have been an Oregon. It is the faith of the people of California in California, its resources and potentialities that has made California. It is the lack of faith of the people of Oregon in Oregon, their scepticism and pessimism of its future that keeps Oregon the Haggard among her sister states in the procession of progress. No state has richer resources or greater possibilities than Oregon.

The massed testimony of the mas ters lay heavily undigested within him; he was too richly fed, stuffed; the intricacies And complexities of technic. US worried and disheartened him; he felt too keenly, too deeply to keep a clear mind and a cool one. Kvery sense he possessed was necessary' to him in his creative work; emotion, intense personal sympathy with his diameters, his theme, clogged, checked ami issitsd inspiration, smothering simplicity and clarity. This was a phase. He had the usual experience. lie struggled t through it and onward.

Besides that, and m plle of Ihe gaily coloured line of rags fluttering on the clothes line of experience, he knew very little about women. One day, when he came to realize that he knew nothingnt all about them, he might begin to write about them convin cingly and acceptably. But he was not yet as far along as that in his education. lie had a ilesnerale a&.lr ulil, .. onracmg woman of the real world a countess, she took excellent care of herself, had a dellahtful time with Cleland, and. in gratitude Clear-minded, witty, charming very lovely to look upon, she read and criticised what he wrote, dis cussed, consulted, advised, and with exquisite tact, divining the boy's real talent, led him deftly to solid land again, And left him there, enchanted. miserable, inspired, hiiirlhrokcn. with a laughing ad monition to be faithful to her mem ory while she enjoyed her husbands new post at the Embassy in Sofia.

Four L Directors Approve $3.60 As New Labor Scale The Silverton. Spaulding and other mills operating in Marion county will be affected, according to reports, by a voted 10 cent per hour decrease in the wage scale of common labor. A vote of 15 to 9 of the direct ors of the Loyal Legion of Log gers and Lumbermen in session yesterday at Portland decided the decrease which will lower com mon labor from $4.40 to $.1.00 per day. This scale however, will not necessarily be the "going wage" of the majority of mills because It has been the practice of no few mills to pay in excess of the min imum scale. The amended scale has been effective since January, 1920. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. F.aron and Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Shank of Al bany. nnd Mr. and Mrs. C. W.
