The mine owner who does not have faith, stops work on his tunnel but lot Jhlm have faith and he will drive a tnnnel clear through the bill. The man who has no faith in himself or in his abiilty to do things is a failure. To inspire ooofldenoe in others you first have to have oonfldenoe in yourself. This law holds good in regard to cities aa welt as to individuals for ;the city la but the aggregate of the individual. The town that' gets ahead is' the one that firmly believe it has a future. Taco ma called herself the City of Destiny year ago when there were fir stamps on Paolfio avenue. People laughed. but Tacoma has made good The Paolfio Coast I watching Ta coma grow. Then there Is It town rival, Seattle. Seattle did not get any petting In ;its early days. ' What it got, i'fgot by digging it oat by hardwork bat there was a faith back of it all and the Seattle spirit has been the result. Seattle is the synonym for enterprise .up and down the line. What we need in our own community is Faith. We do not need to go to Coos Bay to find paying Investments, or to Hood River to raise red apple or strawberries or sorpris ing as It may seem, we do not bave to go to Nevada to And gold or copper mines. All these things are rlsht here at our door and also a lot more hut they will not develop of them Bevies. It takes hard work and privation to make success in this life and towns have to he built up the sniue way. So get a little faith in ynurtelf, iu your . town, in your country and everything will come out iu the wash all right. THE yUACK.

It is much more pleaeaot to ride than to b ridden. And it is the quacks and wise gays of this world who ride the ignorant.

Pernoll has come to the top and has been engaged for the Portland baseball team. United Statts battleships seem to be more dangerous in neace than in war. The battleship Georgia is the latent to have a horrible explosion. A man with thirty thousand dollars worth of securities in his grip on his way to Grsnts Pais was robbed in Jackson County. We did not think Jackson County wanted money that bad. There is to be a pioino at Hell Gate this coming Sunday. It has always been a oonuadrum to us why all the most picturesque places of Nature should be named after the TWI1 But there is a reason probably.
