SPRINGFIELD, OREGON. THURSDAY, MAY 13, 1915.
IT LOOKS LICE TURNING THE CORNER
The state of business of the lumber Industry and of
the railroads Is a pretty fair Indicator of the measure of
the prospeWtyof the country. Earnings in these Industries
the pasttyetir hks n'etibeen such afe to give ground forany
over-optlhilstic 'feeling, but the turning point seems tojbfe
at hand.
The lumber business is showing a marked increase in
the number of orders being 'placed. It is noteworthy that
the mills, feeling the improved tone of the market, are not
contracting for delivery very tar into the future. The de
mand has hot feB yel, however, made any appreciable in
crease in the prices, bdt If buying continues to Increase,
prices naturally iwill rise to a poiut showing more nearly a
fair return On the investment. ,
Locally, the mills are kept busy, and more mills in the
vicinity of Springfield are beginning operations. Shipments
are larger than for otoliths, although below the normal for
more prosperous years. The tide is turning toward a
brighter setting, however, and there is promise of even
more activity in the lumber business.
The railroads, too, are showing gains in their business.
Taking the Chicago Tribune for authority, we have the
statement that figures .covering 473 separate railroads
show an. increase in gross receipts of one and a fraction
per cent for the monthy of January as compared with De-
' eeniber, 'while 'the record for February for the same group
' of roads sholvs & de'cidecl gain. Taking the three months
together the results are nearly 31 per cent better than for
the year previous.
This, as the Chicago paper remarks, may indicate that
"lhV railroads are really "turning the corner"; and at all
events it 'Is meet that Nve should take note of the improved
condition and couple it up with all other thingswhich.Just
At this time, are to be said for the good of the order.
' Itfls'the favorable and encouraging note in every branch
" of industry and commerce "that we want to listen for, all
A the time. There 'will be -enough and more than enough
'" involuntary ringing of 'the changes oh every 'dfsmal happeh
1 irig, but it Is the Wight side "which incites to nope and action
A. that counts. This little item of railroad news helps to make
It brighter.
THE" ETERNAL HUMAN ' .
President Wilson on a Monday morning a short time
ago, inaugurated the first transcontinental telephone line.
: He talked from Washington with the head of 'the Panama
Pacific Exposition at San Francisco.
A striking event in the history of the telephone. As
the President says, it stirs the imagination to think of
the human voice finding Its way clear across the continent.

What a pity that men today do hot statu! on the tame
BGcuromnilnonco of admitted superiority, as compared with
the men of othor days, hat science stands on when com
pared with the scionco preceding tho last century!
Dazzled by tho achievements In selofUlflo Hnoa, tho
world is at times inclined to assume they do. But tit tho
'moment of seemingly most Bocuro assumption thoro comes
n world war and men aro soon reacting to tho samo old
human and historic stimuli.
Man has progressed, but tho progress Is Blow. Ills
work outruns him. IlSmah nnturo is tho most sthblo
thing in history. Coilipare with it thb mighty omplfes
that havo come and gone aro merely shifting clmdows. '

SOUNPNESS 0 PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
(Walla Walla, Wash. Bulletin.)
The soundness of the jirotocllvb 'tariff principle has been
abundantly demonstrated by the effect Of tho European
war, which has acted as a bar against importation of
foreign goods and has compelled Americans to buy at homo.
In July, 1914, when the war began, American Industry was
going doWn the toboggan at a rato that would soon havo
brought it to tho level of 1893-1. Tho rovival in tho last
few months shows the advantage of shutting out foreign
importations' of goods in order to Mteop American mlllB
running, American laborers employed and American money
at home.
The city council is .going to havo all tho grass that is
growing in cracks in the cement walks removed before the
wnlkB are damaged. Good. Then let's tackle somo of
the big thistles that are growing up on the vacant lots.
