A CRISIS IS HERE The greatest minds of the earth re powerless to outline the prob able results that will follow the total collapse of Russia. The fact Is pa tent to all that It will encourage in habitants of the central powers, par ticularly when It Is considered that an energetic effort will be made by the military power to enlarge upon It and turn everything to their own credit. That power will relentlessly follow up its advantage, totally re gardless for the rights and comfort of the Inhabitants, who. If In their way will be murdered and their pro perty stolen. A deep sense of sympathy for Russia rests with the civilized world, for It Is well known she is without an army, without a stable government and It Is believed she will rapidly sink from sight as a great power. Germany will take her food and minerals and whatever else she wants and starvation will follow In the wake. No time will he lost In this matter as Germany is herself hungry and now the will probably l,e fed. However, it will take time to accomplish all this and In the mean' 'time spring is approaching and if Hindenburg does not start his long heralded drive on the west front, the allies win. righting will occur there and just as soon as weather conditions wlfl permit. It will be bloody to the last degree and the greatest battle In the world's history. Let us hope It will occur before Ger many can replenish her larder and procure the minerals she needs from the east. If the German lines can be pene trated before she Is fed, consterna tion will prevail and she will prob ably lose Austria, in which rape her power will be broken. On the other hand. If she drives the allies bark as she hopes, a realignment will lie necessary among them, and a broken spirit is hard to mend. As it looms up before an expectant world the thought comes to many, Is it the bat tle of Armageddon? , OKrXiO.V SHORT MXK AXI O, It. N. AUK NO IOKK Portland, Feb. 13.

In Oregon and Idaho there are 701V 000.000.ooo feet. In 1010 the distribu tion of Washington lumber hy ocean carriers was nearly l.i.000,ll0 feet. I cannot wake a fair estimate of the money that lumber bring to the I'uget sound country lu u year. I might guess It at several hundred million j dollars. j I have seen It estimated that the Washington lumber and shingles shipped hy rail .alone nre worth ."V 00O.OU). Lumber hut year represent ed AO per cent of the touuuge fur-1 Dished Washington, railroads. Of the J wage earners Id Washington and Ore- j gon more than H per cent are en- j gaged In lumbering operations. Wages paid In Washington and Oregon for work connected with lumber stand for SO per cent of the total. Some mills have an output of 150,000,000 feet year. The evolution of the Pacific coast lumber Industry hits been In keeping with the general development. Ulant machinery now handles both the logs and lumber. Steam loggers and skld ders do heroic work In the woods and steel cables lower the big logs down perpendicular mountain slopes. I heard of an ocean going log raft 000 feet long drawing feet of water. ENGLISH THRUSHES TUNE UP Songsters Are In Evidence Even Early In February, Robins Singing Throughout the Winter. Thrushes In England arc enrly sing ers, nnd It Is not unti'tml to hear a thrush singing even In the first week of February, says the Christian Science Monitor.

This season the thrnshes that In habit the woods and hedges nnd re main during the winter have decided to break through tradition and sing as much and ns enrly as they have a mind to. It seems that they, as well ns the robins, sing In December and sing in full vole. Some one has heard a De Resjike In a thicket, who begins with the ditybreak, nnd sings as glori ous a song as nny that he Is wont to , sing In the early days of spring.

One Way to Get Around It Doris ran errands for it neighbor and was always rewarded with pen nies. I derided this was a bad hahlt and told Port she was not to take money for doing an act of kindness.
