If California only had our climate.

Houses are scar e in Vernonia and many new ones go­
ing up. It isn’t a boom, it has ilways been thus.
-------- o---------
The old “Hard Times” talk has passed to history and
Vernonia people are getting the habit of saying “Business
is Goou.” Fart, business is increasing every month, here
-------- o--------
The really big money men are not troubled with the
“big head.” It is more apt to attack those that only think
they have money or a good position.

•Judge Thomas Graham, San Francisco, favors rees-
tabli diing the ducking stool for gossips to check the di­
vorce evil.
ndredt of bioken homes are caused by
gossips,” he says- “and don’t think all the gossips are wo­
men. More of them are men.”

Nearly every paper in the state commented on the fact
that “Vernonia was one city w ithout a Commercial Club”
Now Vernonia has a new, live, peppy hard working Com­
mercial Club, and here’s hoping the state exchanges will
give the fact as much publicity as they did our lack of
one. Attend our weekly meetings hereafter for further
proof—all editors invited.

Many acres of logged-off land surrounding Vernonia.
Why not pul more work in with the Land Settlement
Department of the State Chamber of Commerce and se­
cure settlers on this logged-off land. One hundred five
or ten acre farms would help a whole lot this summer.
Other towns are puling hard for newcomers and, we are
glad to state St. Helens is getting mighty good results

Mr. Carter’s supporters tell us that Carter will be the
next governor. Mr. Upton’s backers say Upton w ill be
the next governor. Mr. Patterson’s friends say Patterson
will bp the next governor. Some of these well meaning in­
dividuals ary going to be mistaken. One of the mentioned
men will get the nomination in May—and then the pret­
tiest and fiercest political fights ever staged in Oregon

Portland. A man who may be feted by the leaders of an I
Oregon city might fail to a tract any particular attention
in the national Capital. Lik. wise, a man who may not be
popular in Oregon might be .orne a strong factor in Wash­
ington, D. C. When a manufacturing film selects a sales­
man for a certain territory the management does not give
special consideration to the applicant’s popularity at the
factory, but instead an eff< it is made to determine his
ability to sell to the trade. When the people of a state are
called upon to choose a representative in Congress or an
United States Senator, there are citizens who calmly re­
flect upon the ability of each candidate to measure up to
the task and to gain special recognition.
The junior Senator from Oregon has amply demonstra­
ted his ability to obtain ad”antageous recognition in of­
ficial and social circles in Washington- D. C. He has got
down to real work and his 'arge business experience has
made him a power in the Seriate. Recently a friend of ours
returned from an eastern trip and informed us he was in­
deed surprised to ascertain the influence Senator Stan­
field had in Washington, D. C. This man conceded that
had he been told of Stanfield’s growing prestige, he
would have considered it purely political bunk, but he
made his own observations and his mind is clear.
We favor the candidate that can give Oregon the
strongest representation at the national Capital and tak­
ing everything into consideration, we feel that Robert
N. Stanfield should be retained in office.—Clatsop Coun­
ty Argus.
A
NEAT AND QUITE
We have made a quiet survey of the real strength of the
candit -tes seeking the Republican nomination for United
States Senator from Oregon and are frank to say that
manj substantial men and women are still withholding
luer final selection. Yet among these there is a large pro­
portion who have not been entirely weened away from
Senator Starfield or shall we say, they had consitleied
opposing him. but today are in doubt as to the advantages
to lie ga ned by the state of Oregon if a change is made.
01 course, a lew hold up their hands in assumed awe
and venturi* to assert that a change must be made Then
there are those who have failed to gain political influence
over the pre- nt incumbent and who fairy they will bi a
strong factor should they line up with someone else, pro­
viding their selection can eventually secure the coveted
toga. We are not seeking political preferment for our im­
mediate friends, neither do we anticipate an appointment
for ourselves, so we find our position one of an analytical
nature.
The political and social atmosphere of Washington dif­
fers greatly with that of Astoria. Salem,Eugene or even
