But we wish that the years still may grow, And may numbers but add To the joys of your life. And we trust that the sun will go slow, For the beautiful hours Of the sunset of life. Bring a joy that just love-mstes can know. For of all the real things That the running years bring The Sunset of Life is the best, For its rich golden glow That no artist can show Is the love-home where lovers can rest. For in these happy hours What a joy life to scan That the toil-days were spent not in vain. For the halo of love Rests as only it can And its peace cometh e'er to remain. So we tarry awhile . Just a few moments spend Which we hope you'll enjoy all through life. And tho' five are the years, May the Good Father send Many more to this husband and wife. mm THE TYPEWRITER IN THE HOME Some think of the Royal Typewriter only in connection with office work. Perhaps its first appeal was to the office, where it has certainly efficiency a thousand fold. j& But the Royal Typewriter is quite as much needed in the Home. Writing, the putting of thoughts on paper, has become an integral part of modern life. j& Every pupil should learn to prepare lessons, essays and examination papers on a Royal Typewriter. j& It teaches spelling, it puts thoughts into writing quicker than any other means; it eliminates the clumsy, childish scrawl for perfect print ing; it makes the child neat, exact, accurate qualities that will serve him the rest of his life. .tThe Royal will equip the pupil with a useful accomplishment. s& After a little practice, composition on the Royal becomes much easier than writing with a pen. More than that, it becomes fun. ?The child gets a taste of craftsmanship, and that means the trans lation of work into play. & There is nothing your loving care can provide for your children which will do more towards increasing their joy in school work, and remain of greater use to them throughout life, than a ROYAL Typewriter. j& Its action is more springy, its printing letter perfect. It is the best machine made. It does not get out of order. It loves rough usage. It will wear for years.

TAXPAYER DISCUSSES DEE BRIDGE CASE Dee, Oct. 15, 1917. editor Glacier Referring to your front page article in last week's issue of the Glacier relative to the recently completed bridge at this point, it is noted the county authorities endeavor to absolve the contractor from alleged undeserved criticism. It is not desired to precipitate any continued discussion or this matter in your columns. After many weary weeks of waiting weeks that length ened into months during one of the busiest seasons of the year, the people of this community and Lost Lake motorists have their bridge and are grieved but grateful; The Bridge of Sighs, they call it, because it cost them so many sighs, heartaches and near tragedies while driving their heavily loaded ranch wagons and auto mobiles in a round about way to Wi nans station, risking their lives and property negotiating Dead Man's Curve above the Devil's Punchbowl, while this little two by twice bridge was out of commission for a period of nearly sixty days, to say nothing of the labor, perspiration and expense in volved in toting tons of lumber, apple box shooks and other material and sup plies by hand across the river. Why, there are people right here in Dee who could have built that bridge in two weeks without interrupting traffic over a week. If the contractor or the county authorities are not to blame, who is to blame? Why white wash? There appears no desire locally to subject either the county authorities or the contractor to any undeserved or unjust criticism, but the fact remains that traffic was absolutely delayed across this structure from about Aug ust 20 to October 9. Think of it I Why was this bridge roofed in? Is it not a fact that this type of bridge construction is becoming obsolete in railroad and county road bridge con struction? How will loaded sleds cross in winter with no snow on the floor of the bridge? A few rods up stream is a slab and sawdust burner on the premises of the Oregon Lumber Co. in operation most of the year, and with prevailing strong winds from the southwest. Looks like a fire trap, doesn't it? Or is it a spark arrester? Could not the frame work for the Howe trusses have been built on the ground and moved into place without disturbing the old structure until ready, at least without closing for traffic nearly two months? Does it require 21 days for the concrete to set or ' cure in large grain elevators and city skyscrapers? If not, and it does not, , why on a small country bridge I Give us the concrete facts, not for the benefit of this community, but for other communities which may have bridges tojbuild in future. lax rayer.
