Son, and Walker & Son.

This town is going to the dogs
I always said it would;
The people don't turn in and help
A neighbor like they should.
I've always thought we all should aid
A fellow in his fights,
And, when he gets the worst of it,
Should help him get his rights.
But do the people do like that
In this community?
When I have trouble like I have,
Do they come helping me?
For instance, with the railroad I
Have got some trouble now;
Have people helped me as they should
To fix that little row?
You see I bought some shingles from
Chicago, where they're cheap;
I saved a dollar on the lot,
For here they're pretty steep.
I needed them, and right away,
The rainy days were near;
The railroad took a month at least
To get the shingles here.'
And, when I got them, half a bunch
Was missing from the lot;
I guess it was the better half
The poorest ones I got
The freight bill was another fright
They overcharged me, too;
And I won't pay it, not a cent
I won't be robbed. Would you?
But I can't get the shingles now,
Nor get my money back.
The railroad will not give them up
It's raining in the shack.
The merchants they won't do a thing-
I think it is a crime;
They ought to rise and make a kick
And bring that road to timet

THE-MODEL HOUSE
Willamette Valley Soft Yel
low Fir and Hemlock '
Lumber
will not stay model long
if inferior, unseasoned
lumber has been used
in its construction. It
will retain its beauty
and serviceability for
untold years if built
with such lumber as
we furnish. Isn't it
better to build so that
you'll have a house
that will last for years
without repairs rather
than one that keeps on
costing all the time?
