Others chart out routes and com pute distances by laying a ruler on a map, as if the whole of the area west of the Willamette valley were a table land with only trees and underbrush to clear from the right of way. A press bureau correspondent, supposedly neutral, has it all doped out that the new Wolf creek route will re place the Vernonia-Hamlet route as one of the routes re commended from an engineering standpoint, though he is careful to state that no information regarding the feasibil ity or cost of the new route has been divulged. A head line writer announces, “Vernonians Battle for Ridge Route,” as the title of an article in itself accurate as to what Ver nonians are battling for. Arguments, indeed, for the ridge route are flying thick and fast—though not of course from Vernonia—while proponents of the Wilson river and Wolf creek routes are by no means silent. Vernonia bases its campaign on exact information, not on garbled and misleading propaganda. Vernonians as sume that the highway commission is not to be fooled by any hokum.

WHEN THE MILLS WILL OPEN The lumber situation was sum med up for us a few days ago by managers of several large plants about as follows: Usually there are few orders for lumber during the months of July and August but the mills op erate on excess orders coming in during May and June. This year there was not only a very low price but very little demand for any lumber and no orders ac- cumulated in the spring months for summer run. Consequently many of the large mills have shut down. Whether these mills will reopen in September depends on wheth er any orders are received.
