The mill opening celebration in Springfield Saturday
night was the largest and most unique gathering of its kind
ever staged in Lane county. Every community wants new
industries but lew com m unities pay much attention to an
industry a fter once established, latne county had had a
dem onstration as to how im portant existing industries are
by the closing down of lumber mills for nearly two years.
All were pleased to see the Booth-Kelly mill, second largest
m the county- and other mills as well resum e operation,
and so expressed themselves.
Nearly 2000 people visited the lot w here the barbecue
was held. It was a tribute ¡»aid those who have courage to
operate sawmills under present conditions.
There are 30 sawmills in the area on the east side of
the W illamette river and as far as Creswell on the south iu
the Springfield vicinity. Most of these mills are operating
now. No industry is contributing more to the welfare of
the people in Lane county.

WE RE FOR A SALES TAX BUT NOT THIS ONE.
Because we are convinced the proposed sales tax will
save the real property owner in this city little if anything
we are against the proposed sales tax, which will be found
on the ballot July 21. Theoretically a sales tax which makes
everyone pay some taxes we think is a sound m easure but
when the state takes its full share at the expense of local
governm ent then we believe the bill unbalanced and unfair
The sales tax will elim inate the state property tax of
about three mills and the elem entary school tax of two mills.
But because it cuts down the total valuation of a city or
school district by exempting personal property it will cause
the local millage to rise in this city absorbing the five mill
savings. T hus the real property owner will pay practically
the same property tax and the sales tax besides.
A sales tax which will allow all taxing bodies to parti
cipate in every dollar collected is to our mind the only fair
one. This tax on the ballot is not a substitute tax but an
added tax to the property holder.
The editor of the Oregon Voter, an ardent sales tax
supporter, figured out for us that the sales tax would save
about $4 on a $100 property tax in Springfield. His esti
m ates like the other proponents on the tax is based merely
on assum ed revenues. We think he is too optimistic in his
estim ated returns to the cities and school districts. Little
if anything is to be saved real property taxpayers by the
adoption of the sales tax seems evident to us.

LUMBER STILL CHEIF MATERIAL
Lumber is not the declining industry that some would
picture It. They are the sam e people who believes the world
is stationary and th at no new inventions will be made or
new desires cultivated— men without vision.
Facts are th at it takes 700.000 new homes annually for
replacem ent and to house the expanding population in this
country. The cecession in building the last three years and
the doubling up of families have resulted in the country be
ing 700,000 homes behind. With better tim es this normal
dem and will be resumed.
T here are constantly new uses being discovered for
wood, and its superiority for building is being dem onstrated
often just as it was in the last California earthquake when
fram e stru ctu res stood a fter the so-called more substantial
building m aterials were leveled to the ground.
There has been no substitute for lumber found suitable
for houses costing from $3000 to $6000. This no doubt will
continue to be the type of house of the future as well as in
the past as it is the class most people can afford. It is in
this home the working man can become independent from
landlords and raise his family free from crowded tenainents.
Only better m ethods of financing has been lacking in this
field for building and it is now to be supplied by the govern
ment.
There is constantly new uses being found for wood in
industry and with renewed research and sales policies com
ing up in the lum ber business there is yet hope for a greater
lum ber industry.
-- «--
The federal governm ent does not think much of our
lum ber for building the coast bridges, so the highway de
partm ent tells the world. But the unkindest cut of all, to
our mind, is the sending of coal stoves to Roosevelt's re
forestation army. Some people in the governm ent do not
think th a t our forests will even m ake good wood Either
th at or we have another display of governm ental efficiency
in operating public works.

The Story »o far:
Joyce Ashton. p.w>r Hteuographer.
lu a skid.liiiK taxicab accident In
Chicago, »uttered loss of memory
Two years later she woke one
morning after a fall front her horse
to find herself under the nante of
Frills, married to Nell Packard
rich California fruit packer. From
letters In her desk she learned
something about her life In the two-
year Interval, and realised that she
had been a heartless, reckless
young woman and that she is seri
ously Involved In an affair with a
man named Maitland. She derided
that at all coats she would end It,
but she found Maitland hard to
manage. Her troubles were further
complicated when she read a letter
referring to a baby—was It hers*—
that the writer, Sophie, thought
Frills ought to have with her. Much
to the surprise of Sam. In her hus
band's employ, she asked for a dog
and he got her one.
Now Go on w ith the «»ory—
Shortly after ten o'clock Sam
brought the car to the front door
and atowed away her two suitcases.
The bank teller at the bank greet
ed her with a friendly smile. "Good
morning. Mrs Packard Say. that
was some little tumble you took
How do you feel after It?”
“Oh. Pm all right." replied Joyce
hastily. She pushed her check tn at
him and .stood on tiptoe with
breathless impatience while he de
liberately counted out the money.
Then she seized It. thanked him
abruptly and almost ran out to the
car again.
When they were well out of the
town, humming swiftly along the
smooth roads. Joyce felt her ner
vous fear evaporate under the stim
ulus of an irresistibly mounting
spirit of adventure This was going
to be fun. she reflected happily.
They reached San Francisco
about noon and Joyce parted from
Sam with mingled feelings of relief
and regret. As soon as she was In
stalled In her clean little room at
the big Y. W. C. A. building she
proceeded immediately to carry out
her plan of action.
The days passed rapidly. In the
mornings Joyce went out for her
Instructions in driving a car. In
these drives, much to her surprise,
she had little trouble In learning to
handle a machine.
She spent the afternoons riding
In beautiful Golden Gate park. Her
first timidity vanishing very qulck-
ly, she made gratifying progress
and every day looked forward to
her ride with greater pleasure.
One day she overheard some girls
In the V. W. cafeteria talking about
the Chinese restaurants, and her
Interest aroused, she set out to ex
plore these exotic places.
One evening she went there for
dinner, pleasantly weary after a
day of riding and driving the car
Dreamy and contented, she pres
ently wandered ouL of the restaur
ant. to realize a moment later she
had left her book on the table. She
retraced her steps.
A man was sitting at the table
she had occupied, and she was dis
concerted to find that he had picked
up her book.
"I Bay. Is this yours?" He was on
his feet In an instant. “Please sit
down. I want to talk to you about
It. This is really very extraordin
ary----- ’’
Joyce sat down, her embarrass
ment vanishing. She felt at home
with this man, as if she already
knew him well enough to be casual
about the meeting. Why should she
feel that with a man she'd never
seen before? He grinned at her
with much informal friendliness
that Joyce thought he must, surely,
be a friend of Frills Packard. And
yet—and yet—he was so unlike the

MORE ABOUT FAT
Nearly every week I am beset with pleas for “som ething
that will help me reduce.” So, listen, ye fat people- especi
ally the sisters. No use to talk to the fat boys they:d
rath er be fat! Therefore, my good ladies, this is expressly
for you.
The latest (and I truly believe best) advice is, DON'T
ADOPT A POPULAR FAD. Don’t go on a diet of carrots,
or spinach, or starch-free bosh
nor on any "one-piece
fodder.” Stick to a VARIETY of food, and keep your health
and strength—fat or lean. I am treating a lady a t this time,
age, 46; five feet tall; weighs 194. Her flesh is firm, and her
circulation ideal. Nothing wrong anywhere only over
weight, and It’s solid muscle not adipose. Even correct
m ental poise. Happy disposition. Want toknow my advice
to her? Here it is:
“Now, I w ant you to go about this thing in a sensible
way. Eat of anything you like, just so it’s a wide variety. I
want plenty of green stu ff plenty of fruits and vegetables.
If anything is cut down severely, let It be the things that
grow beneath the surface in the garden. Turnips, carrots,
beets, rutabagas, potatoes, better gaze from afar on these,
if anything is cut out entirely. And here: You eat just HALF
of w hat you’ve been consuming. Do the halving yourself.
Leave half on the dish. It’s easy. Half-glass of milk. Half
a piece of pie. One slice bacon, if used to two. Half cup cof
fee. If two biscuits, use one. Remember just 11 ALF of
every dish you've been using. Obey me to the letter and
come back In one week to weigh.”
This good lady hail gotten down to two meals a day!
And ate the m ajor portion of a half-bushel at each mostly
carrots and spinach!
Now, you’ll be listening at the key-hole, to hear how
this girl gets along. If I have luck I’ll tell you about results
later.
