LI MBER EACES COMPETITION
Th decline in the lumber industry during the last
seven yeais in the Northwest has been tremendous and
affects us all. In 1929 the industry had 744 living units
while this year only 363 are operating. Production fell
from 10 billion board feet to four billion feet Not only
the average wage per worker (formerly $1400) has dropped
but there are the number of those employed which is only
a fraction of what it was in 1929 when 86,000 were em­
ployed.
Coupled with the decline in the lumber Industry has
been the stopping of residential construction. Only about
five jter cent as many homes were built in 1934 and 1934
as had been the average constructed before 1929.
The lumber industry in the west has lost 60 per cent
of its business. It has not all been due to the depression,
however. A large portion of this business has been taken
over by its competitors in steel, cement, wall board, fiber
boxes, etc. The ability of the West Coast lumber to remain
a large industry and our largest employer rests upon its
ability to keep down cost and hold a highly competitive
market

SOCK THE RICH OR HITTING THE POOR
President Roosevelt seems to have stolen the thunder
of Huey Long and others with their “Share the Wealth",
“End Poverty” programs with his “Sock the Rich" tax idea
Sounds like a popular subject but like most schemes we feel
that in the long run the knock out blow will be given the
poor. Nearly all taxes finally fall on the honest laboring
man and on small business. "Socking the Rich” and shar­
ing the wealth is merely making a tax collector out of some­
one else besides the government. It is a sugar coated way
of getting us ail to pay more.
The rich oil companies pay all the gas taxes but no one
believes it is done out of the profits because they know it is
added to each gallon of gasoline sold. The tax is not so
plain on other items we buy but it is there just the same.
Cannibalism has been abolished; that took thousands
of centuries. Slavery has been abolished: that took thous­
ands of years.
Poverty will be aliolished and that will be the beginning
of civilization.
The real problem is to abolish ignorance, superstition
and selfishness That task will take a million years. For­
tunately, the human race has many millions of years ahead
of it. It is in its infancy now, only 12,000 years from the
Stone Age.

WE MUST BE ALERT
This week one of my neighbor towns—a “county seat”
town, was startled by the development of two cases of typ­
hoid fever! The excitement was like that of a military In­
vasion almost Typhoid fever! Instantly the physicians
sprang into action—the source of the infection must be
found—and wiped out. It was discovered to be in the city’s
water supply.
Two things Imperative and without delay; First, boll
ALL WATER used by the population of the city,—and Im­
munize as many as possible by giving the necessary vaccine
that is now of proven value. The town is doing just that.
An epidemic of typhoid must be prevented. Elven as 1 write
this, the news reached me—that one of the cases, a bright
young man,—died of the fever.
I remember the Spanish-American War days; various
army camps reeked with typhoid; vaccination was un­
known. Came the immense Word War army—all immun­
ized—no typhoid cases that I heard of.
A case of typhoid fever in your Community, if you
should be so unfortunate as to have one, should bring in­
stant investigation of the water-supply; If the water is
found pure, then search all foods and sanitation within the
district. Don’t trust your road overseer or street commis­
sioner to conduct the Investigation. It Is the duty of your
physician—if he cannot do It he must have it done properly.
You can’t tell whether water contains typhoid by Just look­
ing at a pailful of It. ..Call the bacteriologist.
The typhoid germ is a "bacclllus.” That means "rod-
shaped.” Like a short section of hair—only many times
smaller—invisible. The typhoid bacclllus will live In well-
water indefinitely. It attacks the human intestines, where
the disease “runs Its course.” We can Immunize.

sneaked back on again this time.
Well as we were slipping around
keeping on the lookout for the
three officers In blue uniforms who
enjoyed the privileges of kicking
' us off we kept our weather eyes
peeled for any signs o' Captain
) Brewster.
CapCn Brewster is 'most the
best man I know not countin'
preachers and such, and he used
j to be captain of the “U. S. Maine."
Now though, he has retired from
active sea life and such on account
of his awful bad rheumatism. He
is the Idol of every boy in Star
i Cove for he never L to busy to

Suddenly 1 spied him sitting over
on the pile of boxes in the sun
smokin' his old clay pipe. With a
merry whoop we raced toward him.

Hit Jolly old face was wreathed
In sm iles, and he winked at no­
body In particular as ae finished.
"You bet we do," I yelled anil
then sat down on a box along side
o ’ him. When Spink and Otto were
seated he started to spin us an old
time sea-tale.
