Volume 3, Number 26 COLUMBIA COUNTY FOUNDER OF VALLEY WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN CHAIN OF STORES PASSES AWAY AT NEWBERG The birthdays of Washington and Lincoln are more than holidays. Their observance is an evidence of nation al patriotism and a signal to the world that we honor our great and good, that we propose to adhere to the princi ples which they inculcated and that there is small tolera tion in America for anything subversive of those princi ples. The faith of Lincoln in the foundation laid by Wash ington carried this country through its darkest trials. The ideals inspired by the two great leaders must endure if the country is to endure under republican government. That these ideals are enduring and growing in respect, and that our institutions are safe, is evidenced by the in creasing unanimity with which their anniversaries are kept throughout the land. The year 1925 marks a great stride in throwing off the influences of the great war. Some clouds are still appar ent, but it is probable that the past twelve months have seen a greater clearing and more progr< progress toward a re turn to normality than any period d of twice the length since 1918. Any hinderance to our national welfare is now more likely to come from within than from without our borders; and it is not so likely to come from within if we are steadfast in the faith established by Washington and Lincoln. To call attention.to these great lives and to re new the principles for which thev battled is a duty well conceived in the setting apart of their anniversaries for holiday observance» ity so small that i it will not observe There is no community ebruary holidays. _____________ in some manner the February Newberg, Jan. 31.—U.

Paul Robinson, Editor and Owner Adv< rtising Medium of a Big Pay Roll Community HIGHER FLOUR PRICES IS DUE TO GRAIN SHORTAGE San Francisco, Feb. 5, 1925—The increased price of flour is directly due to a genuine shortage in bread grains, according to W. H. Joyce, president of the Sperry Flour Co., and a former member of the Farm Loan Board at Washington, D. C. In support of his statement, Joyce called attention to a bulletin issued January 6, 1925 by the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture, which states that farmers are getting a good price for wheat for the first time in four years because of the inevitable law of supply and demand. The bulletin according to Joyce demonstrates that housewives are paying higher prices for flour and bakery products, not because of profeetering on the part of grocers, bakers or milling firms, but because of a real shortage of wheat. The outstanding facts of the bul- letin as quoted by Joyce, are: The acreage planted to wheat last year in North America was 10 to 12 per cent less than that for 1923. The United States 1924 wheat crop was 25,000,000 bushels below the five-year average, and only 70,- 000,000 bushels over the small crop of 1923. Canada’s export surplus in 1923 totaled 375,000,000 bushels; last year it declined to 175,000,000 bush els. From July 1 to December 21, 1923 the United States exported only 81,- 000,000 bushels of wheat, while dur ing the same period last year 197,- 000,000 bushels were exported. “The government’s bulletin points out that these facts show unmistak ably the reason sfor the prevailing price of wheat”, Joyce declared. “It also states that the conjunction of circumstances responsible for it is .ana that ia .unlikely to occur on the average more than., once in many years and, therefore, does not war rant the expectations of continued high prices in future years.” LAND SETTLEMENT DEP’T. The Los Angeles office of the Land Settlement Committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce re ports an increasing interest in Ore gon and that four families left dur ing the last week in January to lo cate in our state. A heavy business in new settlers for Oregon is looked for within the next 30 days, accord ing to the report. VERNONIA VIOLIN MAKER NOME ALASKA IN GRIP OF DIPHTHERIA Dog Team Rush With Serum Watched by Nation At Copeland’s book store in Ver nonia is displayed a photograph of Leonard Seppalla’s famous dog team, taken by Dr. Wight when he was liv ing in Nome before coming to Ver nonia. The Associated Press Dispatch from Columns of the Oregonian, de scribes the finish of the race, in part, thusly: NOME, Alaska, Feb. 2—(By the Associated Press.)—One of the greatest dog team races in the his tory of Alaska, with the saving of the lives of Nome’s diphtheria pa tients as the sweepstakes prize, end ed here at 5:30 o’clock this morning when 300,000 units of frozen anti toxin arrived from Nenana, where it was shipped by train on the Alaska railroad from Anchorage. The 650-mile trip by relay dog teams over the frozen ice of the Tanana and Yukon rivers and around Norton sound was made in 127 Vi hours, considered by mushers to be a world’s record. A record of 78 hours 44 minutes and 57 seconds, minus 20 hours and 7 minutes for rest, was made in a 408-mile return derby from Nome to Candle. Musher King Takes Part Leonard Seppalla, undefeated musher of the north and ex-Finnish athlete, met the antitoxin relay team from Unalaklik at Shaktolik, east of Norton sound, half way between Foothills and Bonanza roadhouse. After making 40 miles hetumed around and retraced his steps 70 miles to Chinik, sometimes called Golofnin, a village on the north shore of Norton sound, Bering sea, where he turned over the shipment to Olsen another relay driver. Olsen continued to Bluff, 60 miles east of here, where Gunnar Kasson, with 13 dogs of the Hammon Consol idated Goldfields, had awaited the ar rival of the serum for two days with out sleep. , Duirng the harnessing of Kasson’s wolves the antitoxin was taken in- loors and warmed up. When the team was ready Kasson cracked the whip and the dogs sped toward Nome. Out of Bluff the driver encountered a blizzard. The temperature was 28 de grees below zero with a stiff wind blowing. Mushers assert that in zero weather a stiff wind will penetrate any article of clothing worn on trips. Dog Gets Maia Credit W. C. Repass has devoted consid erable time during his life to play ing the violin and making his own instruments. He has been very suc cessful and a few months ago, one of the best violinists of the world, while on a western tour, tried out and pronounced a violin made by Mr. Repass as one of the best he had ever picked up. W. C. has just com pleted and strung a new instrument that he says beats anything he ever made, and all that have seen it pro nounce it wonderful. He used native Columbia County wood, and has ev ery reason to indeed be proud of his accomplishment. EVANGELICAL CHURCH Sunday school will hold its ses- sion at the usual hour. The Christ ian Endeavor meets at 6:30 p. m. At the eleven o’clock service the pastor will speak on the subject “The Rising Tide". “The Second Mile”will be the subject for the eve ning. All of the services are open to the public and every one is cordial ly invited. The pastor wishes to thank the person who recently mailed him a copy of “Treatise on the Devil”. He has read it with considerable inter est but discovered nothing new. The contents of the booklet have been known for a number of yean and a few more theories with it. No gen eral criticism will be offered along this line right now. Let it suffice by saying that a little more applied sanity, or good common sense, in the study of the scripture will be a ma terial aid in finding the truth. Ig norance accepts fads, fanaticism, and other exciting thories by the wholesale. Let us do a little of our own thinking. H. G. H. Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Jay and Ray Jay, will leave Sunday for a two months visit in Eastern Oregon. Kasson left Bluff at 10 o’clock last night and arrived early today. Owing to poor telephone conditions Kasson was not informed of arrangements made to bring the serum here in short relays from Solomon, a miles east of Nome. Due to the darkness and the bliz- zard, Kasson passed Solomon and Safety, where Fred Rohn was wait ing for the final dash. With grim de termination Kasson mushed forward making hi s53 miles of the journey in 7tt hours. Four of his dogs were badly frozen. Kasson, who fought through the severe blizzard, gave the entire credit to Balto, the leader of his dog team. He said the last leg of the relay would have been unsuccessful if Bal to had not been in the team'. The sky was clear today with the thermometer registering 10 below. The barometer read 29.50. MIGHT BLOW UP Some one is meddling with the door and lock of the powder house, Mr. White says. He further says that if any man needs powder he will give it to him rather than have the dangerous prying around. Mr. White will pay a reward for convic tion of any one guilty of tampering with the powder house. SUNDAY SERVICES There will be preaching services again this Sunday, at the Rose Thea tre, at 3 o’clock p. m Everybody to invited, and you will sure be inter ested in what you are going to near.
