W ANTON * ALMOST TOO GOOD TO B E T B U E / r --------- % A t different times during the past jreir the Graphic haa cited the fact that the harbor at Portland was much like a graveyard, compared with the activity of former years, with the accompanying charge that lack of interest and sufficient back ing on the part of Portland capital ists and business men were responsi ble for existing conditions. None of the Portlanl papers have answered the charges, the Oregon,Voter quot ing pur strongest editorial on Abe question without comment. We are glad to note that the Ore- : gonlan sees a new era dawning and we sincerely hope that its predic tions may come true. In an editorial Wednesday It says: Arrival *at Portland of the first vessel with goods direct from Europe since the war began is a first taste of that larger part in the world’s commerce which this port w ill take as it establishes direct shipping lines, and cuts the bonds which have held it in subordination to other ports. We shall no longer pay tribute on our European imports and exports to other ports on either the Atlantic or Pacific coast, where our products must compete for agents’ preference with those of other parts of the country. ' Passing straight between this port -and European ports, our products and our imports w ill no longer suffer the risks of transfer between car and ship for the over land rail haul, and will escape the extra charges and delays incident . to transfers. . This beginning of direct commer cial intercourse comes, from estab lishment of agencies ija Europeap ports by the Columbia Pacific Com pany and Williams, Diamond A Co. Their agents bring before foreign buyers Oregon products as such and. set forth their merits. The goods for which there la a demand in Ore gon are brought to the attention of Oregon merchants by the same means.. Oregon prunes will no longer' pass as the product of California under this plan, nor will Oregon's taste in foreign goods be flltyred through the mind of a New York agent. Business relations thus es tablished are bound to be satisfac tory to both parties and therefore to grow. Though at present a guar anty of a minimum tonnage is nec- esary to bring a ship to this port, that precaution should soon become superfluous. Appointment of an agent in the Orient by the Port of Portland as sures us that the same solid founda tion for direct commerce will soon be laid in that region. Other agents Jocated In the principal Oriental ports should introduce the mer chants of the Orient and the Oregon country to each other, should famil iarize them with the respective pro ducts and should establish that ex change which constitutes commerce and which makes shipping lines prosper. When this foundation Is laid, the way is open for Indefinite development. Oregon manufacturers will be able to extend their foreign markets and consequently the commerce of Port land, If they expand the suggestion of Mr. Huntington that they estab lish an exhibit of samples in Port land for the Information of foreign visitors. The great sample exhlbl- t lo w «*Uoh hai Lyons, London and Lelpsig furnish opportunities to duplicate that sam ple exhibit to the great advantage of Oregon Industry. Europe Is In such dire need of many things which Oregon can supply that the present Is an unequaled opportunity to Introduce them to new customers. It is to the Interest of our manufac turers to see that they are Intro» dured as products of Oregon, not if some other state, as Is the practice of some agents In other ports who care nothing about Oregon. spr in g b r o o k W A ST E A T W ASH IN G - TOE There was no prayer meeting on Wednesday evening of this week at the Friends church on account of so many of our people attending the Forward Movement services in New- berg. A series of special meetings will commence Sunday evening, Febru ary 4, at the Friends church in Springbrook. The pastor. Rev. Carl Miller, will be assisted in the work by Rev. Fred Carter, of Newberg. All whq can are specially Urged to attend these meetings and hear some strong Gospel sermons. Your attendance and assistance will be greatly appreciated by those in charge of the meetings. There Is a blessing awaiting you, come and get it. Mrs. S. Hubbard has been con fined to her bed by illness during the past week but is now Improving. Rev. Carl Miller was in Portland Monday 5f this week on business for the Friends church. Miss Stella Hubbard, one of our popular teachers, attended the Teachers’ Institute at McMinnville Saturday. Mrs. H E. Markell and son, W il fred, were pleasantly surprised «Sun day morning by the arrival of sev eral relatives from Portland and Pleasant Home. Amohg them were Mrs. Markell’s daughter and her husband. Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Voll- brecht, her stepson and wife, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Markell, and Mrs. LaDue, of Williston, North Dakota. Rev^-Carl Miller’s Sunday school class of boys, the “ Live Wires,” spent Tuesday evening at the "par sonage and had an enjoyable time playing games of an athletic nature • and eajting popcorn. This class is. composed of about twenty boys be tween the ages of eleven and six teen. and have an average attend ance at Sunday schooTbr about f if teen. They are all bright, manly felows and Rev. Myier- is mighty proud of his class: The Springbrook community is made up of some of the best people on earth. They are big-hearted, generous. God-fearing peqple, but they are not so good but that they may be able to get something out of the coming series of special meet ings that will help make them bet ter. Come out and assist others and be benefltted yourself. United States Senator W alter E. Edge, of New Jersey, said that the dress at New York Monday that the government has shown "a total in capacity to conduct its own busi ness,’’ mainly for lack of a “ common sense budget system.” Roger W. Babson, a noted finan cial authority, declares that a busi ness-like budget system regulating expenditures of the national gov ernment would save the people $2,000,000,000 In 1920. In his opinion "an Intelligently operated budget system would save them one- fourth to one-third of the money bow expended In the operation of the United States government” A large business enterprise that mismanaged Its assets as the United States government runs its gigantic business would bring up on the rocks of bankruptcy. The head of a large family who allowed half a dozen of its members to draw at their pleasure upon his Income and to check against his bank account, with no co-ordinating curb on his part, would be headed for the poor farm. That is what the United States government Is doing on a stupen dous scale. Mr. Babson finds that there are 475 heads buying and borrowing individually and spending without responsibility for results. A flood of appropriation bills is In troduced and considered by a dozen committees which know little about the necessity of the demands and have' rto Understanding*‘S f'f ó e de mands before the other committees. Mr. Babson’s statement was drawn out by the calculation of the secretary of the treasury that ex penditures for the coming year will total 36.266.95L000, a prodigious burden. The public has become no accustomed to terms of billions that It Jd difficult to grasp the" magni tude of these figures. The treas urer’s statement means that whMe population hen only doubled since 1880 the government’s expenditures are 24 times as great as they were in that year. The ready answer, of course, is the war. But .the armistice was signed fourteen months ago. and even if there be deducted from the secretary’s figures the sums that must be paid in Interest on the war debt the remaining expenditures would still be approximate 16 times what they were in 1880. Yet there never was a time when congress was so “ penny wise and pound foolish;” never a time when the government shrank as it now shrinks from taking up needed con structive undertakings like land reclamation.— Spokesman Review. The Monterey Cypress, which took its name from the fact that it is a native of the section about Monte rey. California, is an evergreen of most beautiful foliage and does well here until an exceptional cold Win ter comes along, when a freeze proves too much for it. Some beau tiful trees have been grown here in the past, with sorrow coming to the growers when the mercury reached zero, which it has a few times in the past thirty years. The hedge around the lot at the Oliver Evans residence on South College street Is now showing what below toro weather will do to Monterey Cypress. G. W. Humphrey, who founded the Jefferson Review in August, baa published fha paper continuously up to the present time, has sold out to H. D. Marra, of the Gervals Star. The Review has never been able to go beyond the patent outside stage, owing to the limited field it has occupied, but Mr. Humphrey says bis only reason for selling is continued ill health which has made a change of employment necessary. Here is hop ing that a few months out on pas ture with the spring calves may make him as good as new and that he will return to the fold. ---------o--------- MARRIAGE LICENSES .
