Warren with Dr. T. L. Eliot, which appeared in the issue of the Ore gonian of Sunday, January 19, before the boya and girls of the country and we believe that the great majority would read them with little seriousness. The reading would mane but a moment impression and would soon be gone. Such ia youth. Life is fleeting when one ia young and boys and (jirla giv the most thotght to those things tha will hrinir inv and haiiDl'ness of but moments. Yet we think that if boys and girls, especially if they knew in a persona wav of the life of Dr. Eliot, himself, hail read the entire interview of Mr Warren, they would realize that life at moments should be taken seri ously. Men and women often have to think thoughts of a more serious na ture than they care to. A few serious moments of study and pondering in the heydey of youth will often prevent boura of gloom in after years. Now by these words we do not mean that boys and girls should be solemn little prigs. Men and women are un fortunate, indeed, whose lives have lacked an abundance of wholesome fun. But one should not be prodigal in mer ry making. Momentary pleasures should not be bought by mortgaging the future. Some one has said that a young man should have such hieh ideals that it would make him blush to tell his friends about them. Dr. Eliot says that high ideals and patient effort to attain them is the greatest secret of life'i success. He also makes dominant the borne life of boys and girls. Beautiful home life ia one of the great est elements'of happiness. "No girl can be a success," said Dr. Eliot, "and neglect her home duties. No more can she do this than can a boy neglect his home and be a success. Both boy and girl must be obedient to their parents and must have love and respect for them. It ia far (rum right for a boy or girl to think they can alight their little home duties and be able to grow into manhood or woman hood and attain Buccess. It is certain that if a boy or girl neglects the home life and seeks pleasures, amusement or enjoyment elsewhere they will sooner or later be found drifting into places and participating in things that tend to degrade them. There ia no place like home for the boy or girl." Dr. Eliot's is a life to emulate. He has missed the cheaper 'pleasures and found the deeper, joys. He has been an active minister, having been pastor ot the First Unitarian church of Port land. His preaching has been the kind that is effective; for he has done the things that he has preached about. His words have not been spoken from the feeling that he had to say them be cause he was a minister, but he has lived them and felt them and knows them to be true. columns with news of the ouUide world and omits the hapcenine of i home events, the mult ,; ludicrous. The first thought of the country edi tor should be the home industry. The most important stories in hia columns should Le those of events happening in his midst. 7 : i 1 PI Perhaps the members of the Port land Snowshoe club could give a few pointers to the Wyoming man wanting a job as a winter weather forecaster on the top of Mount Hood. After bearing about Mr. Locke's orchard and that of Mr. Swick out on AvalonWay, we long for a little pear orchard. . B. - - - J Hood River grows the best of apples. The orchardists have set the pare, Her poultry fanciers have followed and take blue ribbons at state chicken shows. Gust Westerberg bas become imbued with the spirit and says that the best of Jersey cattle are none too good for Hood Rivet folk. Have you noticed how much longer the days are getting? The robins have returned from the south, too. Pretty soon we will be having spring twilights. ELECTRIC RUMORS DENIED BY DANF0RTI1 THE STREET IMl'ROVEMENT One of the biggest arguments for the street improvement ia the streets, themselves, at this time of the year, And all citizens of the city and vallt-y are glad to know that the council mis begun the year's administration wiin a consideration of the proposed move ment. Nobody wants another winter to roll around without a paved district and more macadam thoroughfares. However, as the communication of Mayor Blanchar aaid, the street quettj tion is an important one. We feel that the city will id nke no mistake in se curing the services of a man expert in such wotk and who shall act as a con suiting engineer in the matter of con ducting the proposed work. Because of the climatic conditions and because of the varying grades of the city streets, the question of deciding on the most suitable pavement is going to be no small task. Citizens of the East Side should wel come the recommendation of the mayor to the effect that $2,000 be expended tho next year in a further improve ment on the East Side grade. THE DUTY 0E THE COUNTRY PAPER Did you ever go over a file of coun try weekly newspapers? If you have you are attracted by those that devote their space and efforts toward the dc velopment of the industries of the community in which they live. You are not so much interested in the coun try weekly that tells you of the inves' tigations that congress is making in the money trust case. You don't ex pect to find nor care to read the stories of the Balkan war in a country weekly. The time did exist, before the country was threaded by rural routes and before the mail service was so'perfected as it is today, when the country newspaper fulfilled a mission in thr publication of brief and correct accounts of world happenings. The country newspaper office was a kind of clearing house for the news happen ings in foreign lands and in distant cities of the nation. However, now the country editor finds his task an altogether different one. If he pi hits any foreign news it should hive a bearing of a local nature on hia own community. If he fills his The rumors that have been circulated to the effect that the Pacific Power & Light Co. hBd secured control of the local lighting field and had got control of the Hydro-Electric Co. have been emphatically denied by K. S. Danforth' the new manager of the Hydio-Electric Co. "On the face of them the rumors are without any foundation," says Mr. Danforth. "On a half a dozen different occasions the reports have been circulated by the minions of the Pacific Power & Light Co. that it had purchased the Hydro company. They seem to tie able to do a great deal of talking without much point to it. Mr. Uanforth. who recently nur hased the interest of J. T. Thompson n the Hydro company, is from Massa husetts. He is a graduate of Dart mouth Univervsity. Mr. Danforth re sided in Portland before coming here assume the managership of the Hydro-Electric Co. N. C. Evans, president of the Hydro company, left yesterday for Portland. The company has been receiving sup plies and poles to begin construction the line to The Dalles as soon as the weather will permit. 0. A. C.

The banker is very obliging and places the money and jewelry in his private safe. That same evening he gives bis valet permission to visit his home over night. While the servant is away, Newman plans with hia lodgekeeper to rob the safe, it be ing his plan to give out the report that burglars have broken in. The valet, arriving home, finds his folks away. He therefore returns to Newman's and quietly enters the house while the rob ber ia at work. He grapples with him, but he escapes, leaving behind one of his coat buttons. The next morning the sisters are advised of the robbery, and, being dissatisfied with Newman's explanation, they employ a detective to investigate. I he valet shows the button to the detective. This furnishes a clue, as the detective notices that one of the lodgekeeper's buttons is missing and be ia arretsed. fearing that the lodgekeeper, will expose him, Newman write a warning note and places it in an egg.

Branches Proposed for Coast Cities In the Portland Jounal of last week appeared an article stating that the large associations of the Hood River Valley had planned to establish branch offices in Porland, and other coast cit ies, and that the sales would be made direct through this agency to the re tailers. The story stated that the name of the new association had not been made known. While the plan looks feasible to local representatives of Hjjod River marketing concerns, the report of the Journal is said to have no foundation. It is possible that such an agency will be established at some time, but no definite plans have ever been made toward this end. The reasons given for the proposed agency are as follows: "The determination of the Hood River people to establish a branch office here is'said to be the result of what the apple people claim as dis crimination against them by whole salers. This is denied by the latter. who said they purchase their stock SPIRITISM SAID TO BE DEMONISM. A most Interesting little brochure tins recently come off the 'press setting forth with Bible proofs that the com munications received by and through Spiritist Mediums Is of Demon origin. The writer traces bis subject through the Scriptures from the time when certain of the holy angels became dis obedient. He proven from the Scrip tures tlint these fallen spirits per sonate the human dead, with whose past history, spirits though Invisible, are thoroughly acquainted. He shows tlint they also frequently person ate the Creator and the ltedeemer, commanding their deceived ones to pray, do penunce, etc. This, however, Is merely to lead thein on and to bring them more thoroughly under demoni acal control. Sometimes by breaking down the natural barrier, the human will, they possess their victim, and rule blm more or less to his rulu frequent ly sending such to the mad-house. Numerous Illustrations, Scriptural and otherwise, are given.
