The Women’s club of this city hould have the credit for initiation f a work that ought to have been tarted and completed, at an earlier eriod. The failure to properly re- lember “those who marched away, ever to come back,” was not so much n omission of the mind as a lack of litiation; but it is but charitable to »y that it was not a mistake of the eart. The masses do have in their earts a feeling of deep sympathy nd reverence for the boys who fell, nd nothing but good will for the djs who survived, and who are with B today. Let us help these good women to ut over with a rush, the last and est thing we can do for the soldier ead of our country, that their names lay be perpetuated in the marble of me for their heroic sacrifice.

Skomp of upper Trask river, and promises real cash dividends that regarding the discovery of what he are beginning to come to our State believes to be a deposit of Bauxite from the invesment in highways. Modern highways for motor traffic form the third great transportation system of our country and it promises to be the largest in point of invest­ ment and service and the most flex- ible. First, our transportation was con- fined to water and beginning with 1828 we reached out into the interior and developed that by means of the railroads and now practically within the last two decades we have rapidly developed the highway transportation system which was made possible by the invention and use of the motor. There is approximately $19,000,000,- 000 invested in railroad transporta­ tion in the United States, consisting of the right of way, ’road bed, ties, rail, depot buildings and equipment. There are 2,500,000 miles of high­ way in the United States that will cost approximately »15,000,000,000 to improve for motor traffic to a point where it will serve the needs of its locality and purpose. There are something like $15,000,- 000,000 worth of autos, trucks, and motor cycles using the highways and we have evidently not yet reached the saturation point. This then shows an investment in highway transportation 50 per cent greater than that in rail­ road transportation and yet we have a place in our economics for all three systems and instead of any of them being antagonistic to another they should each seek and be satisfied with the field in which they are peculiarly fitted to render the best service—for illustration, on transcontinental haul­ ing neither the motor nor the rail­ road are best fitted. This because heavy low-priced products can best be sent from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic Seaboard by water—from the coast line to the interior over dis­ tances in excess of 100 miles the rail­ road is best suited to carry the ton­ nage. For distances of less than 100 miles the motor and highway are best fitted to serve the purpose, for that CORRESPONDENCE COAST STAGES Tillamook, Nehalem and Seaside, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

The article is too lengthy for re-pub- lication, at this time, owing to the demand made upon the paper for current local news, but the discovery of the article leads to the question: What mineral assets have we in this county, and to what extent has the county been prospected? As a rule geologists have not enthused much over the coast country as a nossible uj’.J fj a-’. -uver Jut it would not be strange if beneath the surface of the present deposits of earth, there might be found at considerable depth, with occasional outcroppings, valu­ able minerals, such as Bauxite and other metals heeded at the present day in commerce and science. Gold has been found in this county, and there are quartz claims on which work is now being kept up yearly. From Bauxite there is extracted by certain chemical treatment, the beau­ tiful metal commonly known as alum­ inum. It was first discovered ac­ cording to the article before us, by a metal worker in the year 41, before the birth of Christ, The artificer presented a beqptiful cup made of aluminum to Tiberius the reigning emperor, who fearing that it might displace gold and silver as a money metal, had the discoverer decapitated. Later it was found in Baux, France, and from that incident dérives its name Bquxite. During the world war Mr. Skomp had an article printed in the Head­ light, suggesting that the deposit he is quite sure he discovered in this county, be used for the extraction of aluminum for use in airplane con­ struction. The article is mainly de­ voted to a technical geological de- scription of Bauxite, but we give the sent in two volumes for th : Inspection I brought up ts Oct. 1922. last paragraph, which can appropri­ of those interested. The ‘ibrary el-1 books’ for 1922 and 1923 ately be used in this connection, with ition is $168.00 and the work has been I to bring the work up to regard to future exploitation of that metal in this section. It is as follows: “The writer has discovered evidence of the existence of bauxite on the watersheds of Tillamook bay, and be­ lieves with the unlimited water power which lies at the door of Tillamook city, that it is ideally located geo- grapnically, for the manufacture of the. metal aluminum.” ARMORY FURNISHING BENEFIT DANCE LIBRARY notes The children’s story hour is held on Tuesday and the children are very much interested in the effort to pro- vide them pleasure and profit.
