It is generally understood that tbe lumbermen of the Northwest have had a tough time for quite a number of yeara, but there are few people, aside from those in- terested in some branch of tbe business, who understand fully, or even partially, the great slump several years ago and the prevailing unfavorable conditions at present. It is estimated by government officials that in normal times about 1,000,000 people are employed in tbe lumber industries in tbe United States, and one quarter of these, or 250,000, are employed in tbe Northwest—Oregon, Washington and Idaho. But during several years, up, say, to the first of July, 1916, 25 per cent of these men were idle. With the loss of wages to over 60,000 people sod tbs low price of lumber, it can be seen that tbe lumbermen have bad tbeir worries. But many think that once more tbe lumbermen are profiting. Is that true? Is it not a fact that lumber comparatively is today ons of ths cheap est commodities on the msrket? An advertisement of the Tum-A-Lum Lumber Co. makes the tollowing statements: Io 1914 a Tum-A Lum barn cost 40 hogs; in 1917 same barn cost 24 hogs. In 1914 a Tum-A-Lum bouse cost 480 bushels of wheat; io 1917 same house cost 225 bushels of wheat. In 1914 a Tum-A-Lnm silo cost 220 bushels of corn; io 1917 same silo costs 110 bushels of coro. Io 1914 a Tum-A Lum machine shed cost 30 tons of alfalfa; in 1917 same steed costs 10 tons of alfaifa. Nowhere beve we seeo the facts ss to the present com parative prices of lumber so tersely stated. Come to the Methodist services next Sunday night and join in a patriotic meeting. There will he an address discussing tbe great world war. Apples from tbe orchard of Robb Brothers and corn on the stalk and a muskmelon from the ranch of James Winslow made a fire display in the window of The Herald this week. According to a Umatilla resident, tbe price of bogs there is away up, and nails, too, are soaring—alle samee Hermiston—in the sidewalks. Miss Nita Hunter of La Grande, Ore., left for her home after visiting a couple of days at the home of her uncle and aunt, Dr. and Mrs. E. W. Barnes. Shirley and Marj. Brownson return ed home Sunday morning after a visit with Mrs. Casserly at Sunny Slope while their parents attended the Round-Up. Mrs. W. J. Jackson, wife of a rancher living three and one-half miles southwest of this city, left Tues day for Big Sandy, Mont., on a two months’ visit to relatives residing in that state. A M. Aaron, the man who regulates the flow of water through the head- gates of tbe Western Land A Irriga tion Co.’s intake canal near Echo, was here Monday having dental work performed to relieve a bad case of toothache. Miss Mason, county librarian, was in tbe city Wednesday delivering fiction, children's books and books on histori cal happenings to tbe custodian of tbe local library. A partial list of tbe books received will be given in these columns next week, and the balance in following weeks. Miss Opal Bryant, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Bryant of this city, came from Portland Monday morning to make a visit to her parents. For tbe past four months the lady has been taking a course in telegraphy, and last week she graduated and passed a perfect examination. At the conclusion of ber visit Miss Bryant will take a position and follow tbe pro fession she has chosen. In order that they would be able to show a clean bill of health on their stock on entering the state of Montana Duncan Campbell of Hermiston and J. C. Williams of Nolin had the animals tested last week by Veterinary Sur geon J. A. Peed of this city. Mr. Campbell received a clear certificate for his shipment of five horses and four cows, and Mr. Williams for sixty- seven head of horses, five milch cows and twenty-eight hogs.

This I understand continues through al- most the entire summer, or until the fall rains. Increased travel and traffic roust become greater each year from now or, with new land going in and heavy shipments of hay increasing greatly each year. The coat must be reckor- ed f. o. b. the cars and if it costs twice as much to move loads over poor roads, then we are up against an "economic" proposition. I am no road expert but have seen enough of tbe "sage brush pavements" to know that at best they are but a makeshift. Why not put aside one-half of the amount of the road tax for permanent roads and the other half be expended on sagebrush- ing until such time as they can be reached by the permanent road fund.

Should tbe cow prove to be diseased tbs state allows the owner $25 and the cow is killed. It often happens that the case is not so bad but that a part of tbe carcass is fit for food, in which case there is a further saving. At any rate no one cares to sell milk from a diseased cow; and no consumer cares to use milk from such a source.
