AU commnnlcatlona should be addressed to be PREBB Athena, Oregon ATHENA, AUGUST 23, 1904 A trade journal presents the optimistic . opinion that autumn trade will show a decided revival with a full resumption of activities which have been affected with temporary dullness. The journal pertinently remarks that the most posi tive and pronounced pessimists, those who were busy six months ago in pre dicting a season of hard times and even disaster, must acknowledge that they erred in judgment and that the year 1904 will not bo marked as one of evil days or loss of faith in the future. Indeed, the first six months of general business maintained an equipoise little short of astonishing when it is recalled that there was a general and popular belief that the collapse of a hundred favorite apecu lative enterprises must mean the de struction of confidence a widespread determination to retrench and to with draw from all undertakings. This ill condition did not eventuate, however, and from week to week and from month to month legitimate business went on in safe and conservative lines. It became apparent that the farmer, the trades men, the small banks and the merchants of the country had unusual resources in money and assets and that there was, after all, no basic reason for the antici pation of hard times. The outlook for a fall revival of business in all lines is speedily encouraging. The fuss and flurry of the November elections, as ac companiment of every harshly fought campaign, will be conspicuously absent this year, and the indications are that trade will revive rapidly and vigorously and that the closing months of the year will mark the returning tide of a normal and wholly stable period of prosperity, ; ' The Brooklyn Eagle gives the follow ing on the subject of yellow journalism: "It is not service, or even alleged service, to the public that constitutes yellowness; it is boisterousness, vaunt ing, morbidness, extravagance, the mag nifying of slight accidents into tragedies and bonfires into holocausts. White papers are sometimes taken in by dis patches from Europe, because yellow ism exists there as well as here; but they do not originate those dispatches; they do not "dress up" news in the home office; they print only what they believe to be true, and print it without tryirg to make the readers bolieve that it is the moat tremendous thing that ever hap pened. Sensationalism is like other agencies for excitement in that it creates a constant and increasing demand for more; nence me lenuency or me yeiiow paper is to grow yellower and yellower, , because any lapse into sobriety or calm is resented by its almost illiterate patron, lie must bo kept going by mental stimu lants which are just as harmful to him as cocktails. lie wants his news strong rather than true, and if he ever reads an editorial does not want it to preach or inform, but only to arouse. And if its editor thrusts himself into his vision as the greatest of men, the readers mind has been brought by his reading to a state that makes kiru almost ready to ad roit it. "How much nicer it is to see baled hay coming into Weston for shipment and to think how much nicer it is to see baled, bay coming iuto Weston for ship ment than to see baled hay going by Weston to Athena and to think how much nicer it would bo to see baled hay coming into Weston for shipment than to see baled hay going by Weston to Athena." Weston Leader. Well, what's the matter with the blasted, bloody, blootuin, bleeding Colonel, anyway t Evidently he baa sprung a leak and filled up on silver prunes and boiled baled bay. For the Colonel's edification and unadulterated information we'll say, Athena is still on the map and is the leading market for baled hay. Two thousaad Mormon missionaries are in the field. The invitable conflict is approaching. This nation cannot long remain half bigamy and half mon ogamy. Facts About Bussia. "Two and one-half times as large aa the United States and Alaska.
