I J.00 One copy, six months $' 00 One copy, three months 7S Athena, Oregon, November 21, 1930 A FIFTEEN YEAR FORECAST A forecast of the future use of ninMrlpitv. mada bv Dr. Charles Rtplnmnta in 1915. is the subject of an editorial in the Hume , Illinois Tlord. "Fifteen years ago, vr Charles Steinmctz, considered by many to be the greatest electrical nonius of our time, wrote a magasino articla enllud. You Will Think This Ta n Drenm.' in which he forecast the ilnitrlcnl tirosrresa of the future Among other thing9 Dr. Stelnmets fnmcnRt. according to the article in the Financial World, were that clec t.rleltv would cet cheaper: that our hnildinifg would be heated and cool cd by electricity; that humidity would Vi nWtrlenllv controlled: that much of our food would be cooked on the tablo and that cooking would be auto mnticallv reculated: that concerts would bo heard in homes j that the motion picture and the talking ma chine would be perfectly synchroniz ed: that the farms would be electrl fled; that cities would be cleaner; that industrial plants would move close to the source of materials; that city in dustries would lossen smoke by us Ini? electric nower. In 1915 it prob ably was the consensus of opinion that Dr. Stelnmets had a somewhat overly-fanciful mind. Yet every one of his forecasts has, to a large do greo, come true, and in all probabil ity the achievements of future years will make these past achievements seem trivial in comparison. I ho epochal progress made by the elec tric industry sinco pre-war days Ib unequaled in world history." o Unpaid wages amounting to $136, 0G1 owed laborers by employers in small lumber and logging amps were handled this year for collection by the state labor commissioner, who collected $47,854 for the men, lenv ing $88,707 unpaid. The commission er makes it plain that had the last legislature passed House Bill 171, it would have given the labor commis sioner authority to take assignments of wage claims in trust for the as signing workman and to bring suit for collection in his behalf If neces sary. Then if it appeared that the same employer would not be able tot meet his payroll at tho next regular payday, he would be subject to a de mand for a bond guaranteeing that his payroll would bo met on regular paydays for a period of one year from tho date of the bond. . o The state market agent points to the fact that New Jersey has a m which compels commission merchants and brokers who buy fruits and veg etables from producers without pay ing cash on delivery to give bond and procure a license from the state de partment of agriculture, and the law is working out satisfactorily in set tlement of claims against such deal ers. The law is not an absolute guaranty of safety, but is a whole some check on fraud and a powerful agency in bringing about settlements which might otherwise mean costly trouble. . o Oregon stockmen find that the cat tle condition shows very little change front a month ago and continues much below average for this time of the season, generally speaking. If winter is severe, some apprehension is voiced that losses will run con siderably above normal because cat tle are going into the winter in such poor shape. Market conditions show no improvement and although the amount of feed put up is below norm al, it is generally considered sufficient for an average winter. o Exports down at Fortland last week were very slow, and only tw small lots, one of S0O tons of. rea wheat to Japan, the other of 1,000 tons of white wheat to the United Kingdom were reported sold during the week. The latter sale was made possible only by some available cheap freight space. Export flour business was also dull, but export mills were reported having sufficient business booked to keep them running for feme time. o . Just imagine a poultry farm with 100,000 birds, 20,000 pheasants and trout pools containing thousands of trout enough to supply the market. All this is no dream, but fact. G. W, Weatherty, prominent capitalist and developer of Portland is the man be hind the project, h putting 5250.000 m the enterprise at t-pnng dale, on the Columbia highway. - o provement can be found, and a num ber ol them are quite encouraging, but none of them i yet important enough to give definite assurance that the turn has taken place. On the Eastern financial ftltnntinn and Industrial conditions, the Nation al City Bank of New York reports no indication of decisive change during the past month. Some signs of im- o ' . The total carload shipments of ap ples from the United States from October 2G to November 6, inclusive, was 60,313 and for the same period lust voar 62.238 cars. Of this vear's shipments, Washington is credited with 20,871 carloads, Idaho 4,626 Oregon 8,222. It is assumed by a financial writer in the Oregon Journal that with the repassage of the intangibles law, plus excise and Income tax levies, a shift of $2,100,000 burden would be lifted from real property. o The nublic and natrons of the Athc na school were more than pleased with the presentation of the High school play Friday evening, and naturally are expecting more of the same. Football is now in the big money class. As a coin-maker, the sta diums of the larger colleges and uni versities bring in more money than some of the endowment funds produce. The Portland Sunday Mercury opines that the worst thing about prohibition repeal is that it would leave Pullman car smokers with no thing to talk about. The tamborine haa given place to the gat in the streets of old Madrid, where rioters battle police as a 48- hour strike holds up the Spanish nation. California has furnished another train robbery; this time without bloodshed. CLASSIFIED Frick's Metal Weather Stripping is Best. Hay for Sale Wheat hay for sale. F. J. Jackson.
