TO THE NEW HAX1) OX THE JOB.
By Dennis A. McCarthy.
Come, my lad, 'tis daytime;
Do not lurk
In the shades of playtime,
Get to work!
Hard things lie before you,
Things to tire and bore you,
Things to triumph o'er you.
If you shirk.
Don't be grutf or grouchy;
That won't do.
Don't be slack or slouchy,
Just be true
Won't let evil win you,
To the best within you,
And amid the din, you
There's your cue!
Choose your field and till It,
Have a plan.
Take your place and fill it
As you can.
Don't let dreamings hazy
Come and make you lazy,
Cranky, cross or crazy;
Be a man!

GOOD WORK DOXE.
though it seems to come high at the
beginning.
However, a? stated in the begin
ning, we commend the splendid in
terest that is again being aroused in
our community over this creamery
proposition, and hope that by inves
tigation and the proper interchange
of ideas, a plan will be adopted that
will ultimately bring us this industry,
for we certainly feel that dairying is
a good thing for our community and
the one industry that is going to
bring prosperity to our surrounding
country.
Let us keep the ball rolling, and
always with the idea of bringing
about the best results. Ve are in a
position to profit by the mistakes
others have made, and we will do so,
and this paper is not standing in a
position of urging undue haste; we
hone onlv to see the Question kept
alive and that obstacles that now
appear in the way of success win oe
overrome to the pleasure and satis
faction of all.
POLICIES ARE BROADER,
We cannot fail to commend the
good work done this week in behalf
of building a butter factory and cold
storage plant in Heppner. As stated
in last issue, this question has been
revived again in this community and
we believe that work is being done
that will ultimately' bear fruit.
Whether the creamery comes soon or
late, does not matter so much if it
comes in the right way.
It is found that a great many of
our people are cautious in taking
hold of the proposition, feeling that
it is necessary to proceed slowly and
along lines that are going to bring
the most profitable and permanent
results. We have had no little ex
perience heretofore and the cream
ery has not been promoted along the
best practical lines, consequently in
making further solicitations for the
sale of stock the local committee has
found numerous objections presented
and excuses offered for not subscrib
ing for stock. These will have to be
overcome, and it is the opinion of
this paper that some more definite
plan will have to be presented than
has yet been devised, before these ob
jections and excuses are met and
cleared up.
We have no desire to boost the
business of any private individual or
company, yet we cannot fail to see a
lot of merit in the proposals made by
Mr. McCloy, of the Hastings Indus
trial Company, of Chicago. True, he
represents a company whose interests
in the construction of butter factor
ies may be considered selfish, but we
think that when his proposition is
fully understood it will be looked up
on with more favor. They at least
put up a definite and tangible prop
osition and are ready and willing to
stand back of it. These people are
in the business of promoting butter
factories but do not own them. They
are prepared to put tiiein up and
equip them and see that they are so
organized ns to be a financial success
for the stockholders, guaranteeing to
furnish a market at all times for the
output of the factory, as well as to
furnisli expert information to the
dairymen through the system that
tliey have worked out and assist him
in materially increasing his income.
In other words, they carry out a
campaign of education, as we under
stand it, that is of great value in pro
moting the dairy industry, and edu
cation along these lines is greatly
needed.
Necessarily the question of origin
al cost enters largely into the matter,
and it is on this point that the prop
osition seems to hinge. A butter fac
tory con no doubt be built and equip
ped at a much less cost in the first
place by the creamery company get
ting their equipment where they
please and putting it in, but there is
the question of them getting stuff
they cannot use and they will be vic
tims of those whom they do not
know, and perchance be in the posi
tion that the Arlington creamery is
today, with a plant on their hands
and no place to get rid of the output.
So we argue that the knowledge and
assistance of the Hastings people is
worth a lot, as well a the guaranteB
that they make of getting us a mar
ket and helping us to turn -out the
best possible product. We have to
pay for brains along any line, and
business men of experience have
found out long ago that it pays to in
vest in this sort of commodity even
A determined effort is being made
by the United States Forestry Bureau
to gain the good will of Oregon and
other western states, says C. C. Chap
man in the Oregon Voter.
Co-operation with counties for the
construction of roads into and thru
national forests is one evidence of
this.
Another evidence is the manner in
which grazing privileges are being
handled. Many stockmen say they
prefer the present method of range
control to the old hap-hazard graz
ing with its contentions and occasion-
Another evidence is the willing
al bloodshed.
ness of the chief forester, Mr. Graves,
to set aside a portion of the national
forest along the Columbia River
Highway for a park.
These broad policies of co-operation
should be encouraged, but let us
not lose sight of the fundamental fact
that the forest reserve system in its
essence holds back large areas of the
state from taxation and such develop
ment that results after land has pass
ed into private ownership.
In recognizing the fine spirit of
co-operation that is making Itself
manifest under Mr. Graves' enlight
ened administration, in contrast with
Mr. Pinchot's academic and narrow
methods, we must not tie ourselves
up to the political policy of holding
a large part of our state out of tax
ation. An enlightened monarch is a good
ruler. A liberal bureau chief at
Washington is an excellent manager.
But we of America do not wish to
be governed by a king, and we of Ore
gon do not assent to the principle of
keeping a large part of our state un
taxed under federal control. Even if
we do make our mistakes, we prefer
to make them ourselves in our own
ray rather than be governed from
afar in our local affairs.
nants conspicuous at the rear, the
Benson party and the other dignitar
ies sat at the base of the great Altar
Tower, the sculpturing of which sym
bolizes the evolution of the race, the
topmost figure representing "Intel
ligence Peace on Earth, Good Will
Towards Men." Mr. Benson, as he
gazed over the heads of the people
there to do him honor, could rest his
gaze on rows of formal Italian cy
press and Irish yews or upon orange
trees and vast beds of blossoms in
subdued colors. Directly in front was
the Fountain of Earth with its vast
sculptured panels symbolizing the
survival of the fittest, the lesson of
life, vanity and destiny. As the vis
ion traveled over the cooling earth,
the panels, the pool, Helios uphold
ing the Sun at the water's edge in ac
cord with mythology and upward to
the pinnacle topping the arches that
enclose the Court, an hundred Chan
ticleers proclaiming the dawn of the
Christian era were to be seen and it
required no difficult stretch of the
imagination to hear an exultant note
on this day of days as these herolds
of that other glorious dawn recogniz
ed in the Benson demonstration the
dawn of another era not less glorious
a time when men shall be honored
for their unselfish service rather than
their possessions or station, for their
personal worth rather than their
power, for their vision and their giv
ing rather than their getting, for the
greatness of their simplicity rather
than their vanity In selfseeking, fo!
the breadth of their sympathies and
the greatness of their souls. For in
Simon Benson the Chanticleers be
held a man grown great while pre
ferring obscurity to the spotlight,
service done quietly rather than
shouted from the house-tops, a man
without desire for public office or ex
alted social station, a citizen anxious
only to do his full snare in making
greater the commonwealth he loves,
and happy to do this without thought
of reward or joy in display. The
Chanticleers saw in Oregon's most
notable citizen a man who, like Abou
Ben Ahdem, desired to be counted
only as one who loved his fellow man
a love manifest in great gifts of
good roads, parks, schools, foun
tains, enterprises that add to civic
glory and give employment, and char
ities the extent of which modesty has
never permitted him to name so
why should not these heralds of
things glorious add a clarion note to
their paeons of joy on this morning
when they beheld honors, garland la
den, cast at the feet of one fitted with
the righteousness that exalteth a nation?
A XEW COMMISSION.
Everybody will watch with interest
the result of the hearing before the
Trade Commission. It is announced
that the commission will try and as
certain "what is the matter with
commerce" in the United States and
between trade centers of our coun
try. It is really laughable to watch
one of those high brow commissions
sit in solemn conclave to discuss
"What is the matter with commerce"
when any smart schoolboy who has
read the daily papers could show
them in ten minutes how the same
politicians who created this latest
commission have created dozens of
others like it which have so burden
ed industry with useless regulations
that there is practically no commerce
left to regulate. So far all the com
mission has done has been to tell the
manufacturers, lumbermen and fruit
growers what they "could not do"
and they held up the development of
foreign business at every turn. They
have not advanced a single idea that
would get a dollar's worth of busi
ness or maintain a single payroll.
They are supposed to "aid the manu
facturer and producer in securing
markets." Watch them and see if
they add enough business to the
Northwest to pay the taxpayers for
the expense of their trip out here.

DISGRAC ED GEORGIA.
When thirty years ago the decent
people of the south were permitting
their midnight prowlers to go about
and kill colored men, we told them
they were sewing dragons' teeth, that
from it would be bred a spirit which
would mean defiance of law when
ever the mad lust for murder took
possession of any considerable num
ber of them.
The lynching of Leo M. Frank is
a disgrace to the state of Georgia
which will be held against that state
forever.
Decent people will avoid a state
that is run by mobs and where jus
tice is subject to mob caprice-Goodwin's

the flower-scented Florentine Court
the party disembarked.
As the Exposition band of forty
pieces played "Hail the Conquering
Hero", the distinguished party was
ushered Into the Court of Ages, or
Abundance, and there in the most
beautiful of all the Exposition beauty
spots, Simon Benson heard his virtues
extolled by Oregonlan and Califor
nian, listened to the reading of a fair
portion of a bale of congratulatory
telegrams, and In his modesty and
unaffectedness blushed like a school
boy as he heard the words In which
great and good men told the assem
blage why he had been selected as
Oregon's most notable citizen.
The day was brilliant with sun
shine, a perfect Oregon day rare
enough in San Francisco and the
setting for this memorable occasion
ideal. With the large assemblage in

IFFICER 666"
KLEINE'S GREAT COMEDY SUCCESS
AT THE
HOME THEATER
Friday and Saturday, Sept.
3 & 4, 1915.
Featuring Howard Estabrook, of Broadway
fame and Sidney Seward as the thief.
r S USUAL "Officer C66 has been done in typical George
A Kleine style. Just as his great spectaoles "Quo Vadls",
Jr) "Anthony and Cleopatra", and, Ills more recent triumph
"Julius Caesar" pointed to Italy as the one place where
necessary costuming, settings, esemble and acting could be
found for those wonderful Roman pageants, so did the distinct
ly Yankee story which marks his entrance as an American pro
ducer point indubitably to a Yankee studio and Yankee player
folk.
The cast features no less person than that well known Broad
way thesplan, Howard Estabrook. He Is ably supported by Sid
ney Seaward who played the role of the "thief" so many times
and so successfully In the stage version. Pretty Lois Burnett
and Delia Conner add both reputation and familiarity with
their respective parts. Travers Gladwin's best friend, Whitney
Barnes, is the work of Harold Howard, while Dan Moyles, who
handled the difficult. part of Officer 666 In the original produc
tion, is again seen In his amusing caricature of the redoubtable
and conscientious scion of the law.
"OFFICER 666" is arranged in five parts, which probably
makes It the longest comedy ever attempted. From title to
tall-piece It bristles with action and spontaneous fun. There is
literally a laugh In every foot. Freedom from vulgarity and
the slap-stick type of comedy makes "Officer 666" distinctive
by comparison. Its fun is the clean, high class fun of ludic
rous situations and clever pantomime and has nothing in com
mon with the rougher form of film comedy. 1 x
