INDIAN GIVES RIDE
JAPANESE BUYS CAR
Remarkably unique in that it result
ed from cosmopolitan intricacies, H. T.
De Witt has just sold a Ford truck to
Y.Toboe, Japanese strawberry grower.
In town the first of last inon'h to se
cure his quota of pickers, Toboe was
Jirected to an Indian family that had
just arrived from Warm Springs by
automobile. He and the family head
struck a bargain, and the Indians, their
wigwams and camping impedimenta
srtapped to running boards, purred
away to the berry fields.
Toward the close of the berry har
vest, when picking was slack, the In
dian man and wife decided to make a
chopping tour to town. Mrs. Toboe
accepted an invitation to join them on
the spin, while her young son and
daughter entertained bevy of pa
pooses. The Japanese woman was
thrilled with the ride, as her husband
soon learned. She wanted an automo
bile for ber very own.
When Mr. Lit Witt pointed out to
Toloe the economy he would effect in
selling his team, consumers of much
hay, and using a small motor truck,
adapted both for freight and passenger
transportation, he clinched one of the
quickest sales he has ever made.
ORCHARDISTS MAKE
A RECORD RUN
H. W. Rodamar and Geo. T. Galli
gan, returning from a motor tour of
Wenatchee and Yakima fruit districts,
made a record run Tuesday of last
week from Wenatchee to Portland, by
way of Seattle The men left We
natchee at 4.30 Tuesday morning. At
exactly 12 o'clock Tuesday night they
had completed a distance ot 34 6.9 miles
and were entering a garage in Port
land. "We motored through the Snoqual
mie pass," says Mr. Galilgan, "at a
nice speed. I never enjoyed a trip any
more. The road there with its graveled
surface, kept in excellent shape by the
United States forestry service, is as
appealing as any paved road I ever
traveled over"
The returned orchardists say that re
ports of frost damage to Wenatchee
fruit crops have been much exaggerat
ed. Mr. Galligan says that the We
natchee tonnage for the year will run
from 10,000 to 12,000 cars. He says
the apples of Wenatchee and Yakima
are both in fine health conditions, and
the crops bid fair to be of excellent
quality.
RETURNED SOLDIER
HANDLES TRACTOR
Orvle Thompson, son of J. F. Thomp
son, of Parkdale.who recently returned
from overseas service with the 65th
Artillery, is putting to practical peace
time use lessons learned in a French
automobile school. The young ex-soldier
is driving a tractor used in cutting
a new county road to Lost Lake.
Local people who have recently vis
ited the scene of the road work declare
that Mr. Thompson is making the trac
tor perform miraculous stunts. He
draws plows, scrapers, wagons, hrge
rocks and brush with the tractor. In
addition he has made it do the heavy
grubbing encountered on the route.
Those who have seen the young man
and his machine drive into the debris
of the new road declare that he makes
it perform like the baby tanks that vis
ited Oregon cities in the recent Victory
Loan drive.
A Rome at the Seaside
The owners of Cartwright Park, sit
uated at Seaside, Clatsop county, Ore
gon, have placed on the market a por
tion of the famous old Ben Halliday
property and are selling lots from $75
to $700. This beautiful resort can be
reached by motoring down from the
Columbia Kiver Highway or in other
words, you can leave Hood River in
the morning and reach your beach
home the same day in time for dinner.
or you can take the train (the S. P. &
h. Ky.) from Portland in the morning
and reach your destination at 1.30 p.
m. This beach is also becoming quite
a winter resort. Many families spend
their week ends there.

U. of 0. Dance Successful
Approximately 200 people were pres
ent Thursday night at the dance given
by local women to raise tunds for
the University of Oregon Woman's
building. The dance netted the fund
$65. Among the out of town guests
present were Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Goff.
of Newberg, Mrs. Ralph McEwen, of
Athena, Miss Margaret Cooke and Mr.
and Mrs.Chester Huggins, of Portland.
Mrs. J. M. Culbeitson was in charge
of the dance.
Patronesses at the pleasant event
were Mrs. E. R. Moller, Mrs. P. S.
Davidson, Mrs. A. J. Derby, Mrs. R.
R. Root. Mrs. C. N. Ravlin and Mrs.
G. H. L. Sharp. Mrs. C. H. Jenkins
was in charge of decorating the big
ball room and Mrs. William Stewart
had charge of the preparation of re-
iresnments.
Late Apple Sales Are High
"It's an ill wind that blows nobodv
good." The grim reaper summoned
John West, homesteader of the Fir
district last fall, and those handling
nis estate were unanie to market ap
plts grown on the place with the usual
diypatch. As a result, heirs of Mr.
West are reaping benefits from the
late sales and those addicted to "An
Apple a Day"are again able to indulge
their fancy.
Forty-five boxes of apples of assort
ed varieties, held in cellar storage'over
the winter, were brought here Satur
day and sold. The larger sizes brought
$3.50 per box. The small sized fruit,
bought here at $2.65 per box, was ship
ped to Portland by J. N. Griffith.
Loss of Appetite
As a general rule there is nothing
serious about a loss of appetite, and if
you skip a meal or only eat two meals
a day for a few days you will goon
have a relish for vour meals when meal
time comes. Bear in mind that at
least five hours should always elapse
between meals so as to give the food
ample time to digest and the stomach
a period of rest before the second meal
is taken. Then if you eat no more
than you crave and take a reasonable
amount of"outdoor exercise every day
you will not need to worry about your
appetite. When the loss of appetite is
caused by constipation as is often the
case, that should be corrected at once.
A ,dose of Chamberlain's Tablets will
do it.

MINES IDLE WITHOUT ORDERS.
Those Who Delay Ordering
Longer May Not Get Their
Fuel Later On.
The ("lifted Stiite (loulogiral Survey
announc-s fmni Washington the prob
ability of another geiH-rul cuu! short
age next fall and winter. The an
nouncement Is bned, the Survey
states, upuu a natiou-wlde btuJy or
conditions In the bituminous ttVld.
Unless tteiis are taken at onte, the
Surrey says, to place the mines tipon
basis of increased production there
is every prospect of a repetition to
some dVjtree of the situation that pre
vailed In the United States during the
winter of 1017-18.
The only way production can be stim
ulated at the present time, it Is said. Is
by placing orders with the mine for
coal which will be needed later on.
'Tniductlon during the first five months
of the year," reads the statement, "fell
57.LM.HMHiO net tons, or approximately
25ri lielow production ilmlinr the first
five months of 1018. Mines are produc
ing cinl now at the rate of from 8.WK.V
0t to 8.500,000 tons a week. An aver
age output of 10,700,000 tons n week
must be maintained from Jun 1 to
January 1 neit if the country's esti
mated needs of 500,000,000 tons this
ytur are to be met."
Evil of Delayed Order.
At no time during this year hns the
rnte of production approached tlie re
quired tonnage. The tendency on the
part of buyers to hold off placing their
orders la limiting production, as the
mines cannot store coal ut the point of
production, and when the rush of
orders for the winter's needs comes
next fall tbera is grave danger that
the mines, with depleted labor forces
and ihe probability of less adequate
transportation, will be unable to meet
the demands. The result of such a sit
uation would be an Insufficient supply
for the requirements of domestic con
sumers, public utilities and Industrial
users generally.
"It Is believed that requirements for
this year," reads a Survey statement
to' Fuel Administrator Garfield, "will
be shout 630,0tH,iMK) tons of bituminous
coal, of which approximately 30,000,000
tons have been used from stocks accu
mulated last year, leaving fiOo.ooo.OOO
tons to be produced. Of this 500,000,
000 tuns 178,000,000 tons were produc
ed ilurlng the first live mouths, leaving
S'J'.'.OOO.OOO tons to be produced in the
remaining 30 weeks, or an average of
0,700,000 tons a week.
"Thus far this year production has
been at the rats of 8.200,000 tons a
week. In 1018 production was at the
rate of 11,300,000 tons a week.
"This production will be diifictilt of ac
complishment. The capacity of operat
ing mines at the present time with labor
now on the payroll Is about 10 lower
than It was last year. This deficiency
way lie made up In pnrt or wholly If
the mines bava orders sufficient to run
them five or six days a week unless the
threatened exodus of foreign-born labor
occurs.
May Be Car Shortage.
"Present wage sgrements between
operators and miners expire with
the proclamation of peace by the Pres
ident, A suspension of mining oper
ations while a new wage agreement Is
being negotiated would, of course, seri
ously Interfere with the production of
coal aud If It should occur during the
fall would cause a panic among buyers
and consumers of coal."
There Is no use In gambling upon
this or any other contingency, fuel ad
ministration officials Buy. The firm or
individual who wants to be sure of an
adequate coal supply next winter can
be certain by buying coal now. There
Is no other way such assurance
can be obtained. Transportation also
promises to be a limiting factor If the
flood tide of demand comes at a time
when the country's record crops are
being carried. In some districts It
would appear certain that, notwith
standing the utmost endeavors of the
Railroad Administration and the util
ization of Its experience lust fall, car
shortage will be a cause limiting but!
mlnous coal production, and for that
reason It Is problematical whether the
expected production of 500,000,000 tons
can be attained this year.
Shortage of labor already la a fac
tor (hat is cutting down the output In
soma coal producing sections, accord
ing to tha Survey's report. The opera
tors report that from 30,000 to 40,000
foreign-born miners expect to return to
Europe as soon as they can get pass
ports and that many have already re
turned. If continued this movement
will he capable of producing but one
result a reduction of the amount of
coal mined In districts where the mine
labor Is largely foreign-born, and Uiere
are many such districts.
He who needs coal should hesitate
no longer, Now la Uia tiiua to buy

EDITORS FOLL IN CONGRESS.
Heavy Vote for Return of Roads
Arouses Interest at the Na
tional Capital.
Washington. The national l"dl on
the railroad question by tV1"' news
paper editors throughout the country
has aroused great iutertst at the na
tional capital. With Kf per cent, of
the editois giving il as their Impartial
opinion that the public favors an early
return of the ruilroadt to their own
ers ami only 11 per cent, favoring Gov
ernment ownership or operation, the
members of Congress of both polit
ical parties propose to provide speed
ily for the legislation, to nmUe It pos
sible to ry.store the roads to private
management before the end of the
year.
In Congress there is a general agree
ment that the following steps will have
to be taken before the roads are re
turned to their owners:
1. An advance in rates to meet the
greatly increased tost of labor and
materials in order that the Public
Treasury may he relieved of the bur
den of meeting monthly deficits and
the roads made self-supporting. The
lMrector General of Iluilrnads states
that the inctvuse In rates ths far Is
ubout 25 per cent, as compared with
an Increase In operating costs of from
50 to'lH) per cent.
Greater niitioiiali.atlnn of public
control of transportation a single
public control In the Federal Govern
ment in place of -til masters in the dif
ferent States, with cnntlicilng laws
and regulations.
3. Legalization of consolidations find
common use of lines and facilities
whenever In the public Interest.
4. Assurance through an act of Con
gress that in the future the Govern
ment will approve of rates for freight
and passengers that will not only be
fair to the public, but fair to the .roads,
and that will yield a sullkient income
on capital to attract the $750,000,000
to $1, 000,000,1 kh) of new capital need
ed every year for the expansion of rail
road facilities.
