LOCAL COOPERATION
We all c'i us admit the power of cooperation. "Two heads are better
than one,” and granted this we must concede that three heads'are better
than two and four are better than three. Each man separately stands for
his own individual force; but If a number of men join together for some
object, their power in the community increases as each man joins, much
more tapidly than his personal force would warrant.
Notwithstanding our knowledge of this fact, it is often hard to secure
cooperation in local affairs. True cooperation means giving up one's own
preferences, subordinating one’s personality, cconsidering the public good
as better than one’s own. The man who forgets himself is the most suc-
cessful in working with other people.
Every man naturally wants the best for his town or village, but the
community that achieves the best is the one where the citizens work un-
unselfishly together. In other words, when we refer to the public spirit of
a community, we simply mean its capacity for organized and smooth-run
ning cooperation.
WE HAVE TRIED TO TELL THE PUBLIC THROUGH
OUR ADVERTISING SPACE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS
PAST. TO ORDER THEIR SUPPLY OF COAL FOR THE
WINTER.
A FEW HAVE RESPONDED BUT THERE
ARE SOME WHO SUFFERED THE WORST LAST WIN-
TER WHO HAVE MADE NO PROVISION FOR THEIR
COAL FOR THE COMING WINTER.
WE NOW HAVE A LIMITED SUPPLY ON HAND, BUT
NEXT MONTH IT WILL BE HARD TO GET.
Senator Chamberlain is touring the state to see what is needed in the
way of legislation, and incidentally boosting his candidacy for the United
States Senate. Why does he always wait until election time to see what is
needed? Chamberlain has done less for the state than any Senator we
have had for years. Its a poor time now to start looking for something
to make the people believe he is really going to try to help them.

How many tons?
We appreciate the leafy greenness and shade of the trees in our
pretty little city, particularly these torrid days, and we give thanks that
you planted them as we amble along, but some of us are tall, and the trees
apparently are not made for us. Would you mind whittling off some of
those low branches over the walks?
We thank you.

Tum-A-Lum Lumber
Forest Facts of Oregon
At a conservative estimate Ore
gon’s four hundred fifty billion feet
of standing timber is worth $500,-
000,000 on the stump. Harvested
and cut into lumber, its value is in
creased twenty-fold and becomes ten
billion dollars.
Oregon’s timber pays a large part
of the state's taxes—in some coun
ties the bulk of them. The logging
and milling of her timber supports
the largest payroll of any industry
in the state.
Oregon’s sawmills cut two and
two thirds billion beard feet of lum
ber in 1918 With proper protection
logging and restocking, these for-
ests will provide for the lumber in
dustry each year twice this amount
forever—but fire must be kept out.
