The 12 stood in double line while their pictures were taken, after which Mayor Barnum introduced each one by name to the crowd and gave a short talk to the men leaving, their friends and the “stay at homes.” This was followed by an address by At torney J.

A n Editorial From the “Oregonian, f t September 6, 1917 \ IS LUMBER REALLY DEARER? It is generally understood that the lumber men of the Northwest have had a tough time for quite a number of years, but there are a few people, aside from those interested in some branch of the business, who understand fully or even partially the great slump several years ago and the prevailing unfavorable conditions at the present time. It is estimated by governmenl officials that in normal times about one m illion people are employed in the lumber industries of the United States, and that one-quarter of these, or 250,- 000, are employed in the North west—Oregon, Washington and Idaho. But during several years, up, say, to the first of July, 1916, 25 per cent of these men were idle. When the loss ot wages to over 60,000 peo ple is added to strikes, car shortages and the low price of lumber, it can be seen that the lumbermen have had their worries. But manv think, since the war orders began to pour into the mills and deate^^tiiat once more the lum bermen are profiting. Is this true? Is it not a fact that lumber comparatively is today one of the cheapest commodities on the market? An advertisement of the Tum-A-Lum Lum ber Co. makes the following statement: “ In 1914 a Tum -A-Lum barn cost 40 hogs; in 1917 same barn cost 24 hogs. In 1914 a Tum-A- Lum house cost 480 pushels of wheat; in 1917 same house cost 225 bushels of wheat. In 1914 a Tum-A-Lum silo cost 220 bushels of corn: in 1917 same silo costs 110 bushels ot corn; in 1914 a Tum.A-Lum machine shed cost 20 tons of al falfa; in 1917 same shed costs 10 tQns ot al falfa.” Nowhere have we seen the facts as to the present comparative prices of lumber so tersely stated. See H. U. Martin About It Tum-A-Lum Lumber Co. C. C. Richmond, assistant sec retary cf the Sherman County Fair Association, will be in active charge of the grounds and build ings for a week before the open ing of the fair on October 10th. Those wishing allotment of space in the pavillion or stables should see Mr. Richmond: those wishing to arrange for concessions and in formation as to the general man agement of the Fair should see F. E. Fortner, secretary. Moro Trading Co. W o o l B la n k e ts M e n ’s S u its , S ta g S h irts M a c k in a w s After he had finished with his 1917 harvest, Chris. Anderson sold his McCormick harvester to Douma Bros, through Ginn,Cole man & Co. Mr. Anderson liked the machine and its work so well that he refused to make delivery of his used harvester until he had an acceptance of his order for a new McCormick from the harves ter company to be delivered June 1918, in time for work next har vest. ORDERS FOR Ladies’ Made to Measure S U I T S axxd C O A T S About forty members attended the Dorcas social for September at the Manse Wednesday after noon. Mrs. Marjorie Harper favored the party with a vocal solo and Mrs. Ina Kunsman with an instrumental selection. After refreshments Mrs. Laura Ireland, on behalf of the Dorcas, present ed Mrs. Ina Kunsman with a hand painted chocolate set, it being a custom of the society to give its newly wedded members a gift of esteem. If anyone wants to do a seal favor and show personal appreci ation to the soldier boys in France for what they are doing toward helping our country in its time of need let them give them a gift of individual comfort, 6uch as the Oregonian tobacco fund is doing at this time. For 25 cents you can send a soldier bov a 45-cent package of tobacco and cigarettes. A better gift or more for the mon ey cannot be had. Postmaster Parry has consented to handle this fund at M oro; pass the 25 or 50 cent pieces to him for forward ing.
