Solmonberry and Trask routes, conceded to be impracticable on account of engineering difficulties, have each one sum mit only. The number has nothing to do with the question. Location, grade, alignment, elevation, are the real deter mining factors. The highest elevation on the Vernonia-Hamlet route is 1460 feet, less than one half that on the ridge route, and it is the lowest maximum of all of the six proposed routes. The route is ranked first in alignment (an impossibility if the four summits were as “major” as the term implies), and has the shortest maximum grade. The four major summits are not so much of an im- impediment as Mr. Lepper might suppose. Oregon-American Lumber Co. Keep Vernonia money at home by asking your grocer for AFTER THE DEPRESSION WHAT? We are indebted to Roswell Smith, a real estate man of Van- Nuys, California, for the collec tion of certain facts about finan cial depressions in the past which should be valuable in predicting the future.

There was a business depression in 1869 lasting 8 months. There was a business depression in 1873 lasting 30 months. There was a business depression in 1884 lasting 22 months.
