COMING FDR Ll'MBER Ambitious Oregonians may come Impatient at the be apparently slow development of the lumber in dustry in our state. There need be no haste to cut down Oregon forests. Every Ameri can state that hastened to strip It self of its forests is now mourning Its folly. American forests are state i rapidly vanishing, and that which sells last sells best. The only forest state« that serve j much of the territory outside their I Southern own boundaries are the Soutnern state« producing yellow pine, and the West Coast states producing u, variety of soft woods The Southern states originally bad a forest of 130 million acres and a timber stand of about «50 Millon feet. Today the timber has dwindled to 190 billion feet and this is being cut at the rate In ten of fifteen billion feet a year. years the South will need practically all its own lumber, and in fifteen years large lumbering in the South will be a thing of the past. During this swift process of eliml-: nation of yellow pine, the country will be coming more and more to the West Coast for its lumber. The In- erease in coast lumbering will rapid and the next 50 years see this state picking np cast be will off scraps of wood as they are now doing in New England and everywhere east of the Mississippi river. In protecting our Increasingly val uable tree« from destruction by fire and insects, two most important pointe must be kept in mind. (1) all saw timber saved from waste today may be worth twice its present value when the loggers reach it, and (2) all young timber left to grow prom ises to be among the best property os earth when mature. Our citizens should know and our legislators act on the principle that forest fires are not incidents in the Powsr of Polos. Poise Is power. The man who la not master of himself under all condi tions cannot feel the assurance, the power, which Is the right of every hu man being to experience. He la never sure of himself, and the man who Is never sure of himself Is never wholly at ease. He Is not even well-bred, for good breeding Implies self-control un der all circumstances. There is. perhaps, no other thing which is so conducive to one’s physical and mental comfort, efficiency, happi ness and success as a calm mind. When the mind is unbalanced, by anger, ex citement. worry, fear or nervousness, the entire body Is thrown out of har mony. All the functions are deranged; the man or woman is not normal, and Is, therefore, whatever the situation, at a complete disadvantage, wholly un able to contend with It.—Orison Swett Harden In the New Success Magazine. Elevator Rope In Coat Minoa. One of the most Impressive things about a colliery, to an outsider, is the mammoth drum which winds the rope which brings coal up from the pit. This monster drum may measure 150 feet In circumference, and weigh about 200 tons, and it will wind in the rope with its load at a speed of nearly 60 miles an hour. There are miles of the rope, when the pit Is a deep one, like the Yorkshire Main colliery’s, whose ver tical shaft bolds the record for depth by going down nearly 1.000 yards, and for long distances horizontally. The rope costs $10 a yard and Its maximum life Is three and one-half years. Every Inch of It passes each day through a man's hands for examination. Shaft accidents are very rare. Although It Is a proven fact that the game now designated baseball Is of modern and purely American orlglu, the use of a ball In ceremonie» and games goes back many centurie». Four thousand years ago, In the twelfth Egyptian dynasty, a Coptic artist sculptured on the temple Beni Hassan, human figure« throwing and catching ball» A leather covered ball used In games played on the Nile over 40 centuries ago. has a place among the many archeological «i*ecimena in the British museum It has a sew««! cover and is tn a remarkable state of preservation. The game of ball was prised by the Greeks as giving grace and elasticity to the human figure, and they erected a statue to one Arlatonlcua for hie proficiency In It Ancient medical practitioners were wont to prescribe a course of ball playing, where the modern doctor would order a diet of pilla. It Is suppoae-l that ball towing had a deep symbolic meaning when played tn the spring of the year; and that the tossing of the ball was Intended first to typify the upsprlnglng of the life of nature after the gloom of win ter. And, whether this was the case among the people of antiquity or not. It 1.« a remarkable fact that the ec clesiastics of the early church adopted this symbol and gave It a very special significance by meeting on Easier day and throwing a ball from band to hand, to typify the Resurrection. “TOTEM POLES” TELL STORY Are Historical Record*, end Not. as Many Supposed, idols to Be Worshiped. An art In sculpture not resembling any other art In the world, unie«» pos- slbly that of ancient Mexico, la found highly developed among the aboriginal natives of the northwest coast.

Thus the Bear clan will have Its heraldic column topped by the sculp tured figure of a bear.

To the unversed a totem pole would have no significance beyond Its queer ness. but It Is in reality u whola story carved in wood.

B. S. Dedrick r>l I F Street PHONE 3O8-J ’The Pacific Telephone ami Telegraph (’onipaiiy baa built up a telephone system in Oregon from 7027 stations in lik*o to 9l,i»2K stations in 1920. This development was secured for the most part during a period when cost of lnlwir and materials was normal. During these 20 years the Telephone (’oinpany has carried out its part in the building of Oregon. Its operating expenses have in creased faster than its revenue for the last five veal's it has been operating at aJi increasing deficit. 'This condition cannot perma nently continue. New capital cannot l>c obtained by public utilities at all except wlien rates are such as will afford reasonable assurance, with ci ticient management, of earnings sufficient to care tor legitimate fixed charges and establish for them a basis of credit. This does not mean that rates should be such as in themselves will supply new capital, but that they be such as to justify capital investments in competition with other business ventures. The proposed rates represent a very small increase to the in dividual user—from 2*/a to 11 cents per day. In the aggregate thdy represent a revenue to the Telephone Company sufficient to enable it to continue to servi' the public, meet its payroll obliga tions and show a ivasonable return upon a legitimate investment. Adequate service is de]>endeiit upon adequate rates.
