LUMBER BUSINESS IMPROVING A Capital Journal representative in his rounds yester day accidentally met Mr. L. P. Kenness, who is travelling salesman for a Chicago wholesale hardware firm. In re ply to questionings of the Journal man he said he had watched carefully as to lumber conditions on his trip west, as he knew the northwest depended largely on that product for its prosperity, and he wanted to know how the outlook for trade would be in his line. He found, he said, that there was a woeful shortage in lumber at all points! along the line of his travel. Denver was shy, and so was nearly every other point. He claimed the lumbermen had allowed their stocks to run down to the lowest possible' limit, and that now that the demand was steadily growing for lumber, they would not only have to order to meet this demand but to get a workable stock on hand. He pre dicted an unusually brisk demand for western lumber in the near future. His statement seems to be borne out by many other things. For one, there is already a much better demand for lumber than for some time past, and this demand seems to be increasing steadily. On Puget Sound many mills idle for some time, are again starting up, and with fairly good orders ahead. Indeed it is claimed that if there was not a shortage of logs and also of cars there would be something doing in lumber that would make it seem like old times. It is claimed the railroads must soon be in the market with big'ordcrs for ties and bridge material, and as their business has suddenly jumped almost beyond their powers to handle it, this seems reasonable, for the roads will cer tainly take advantage of a plethora of money to put their roads in condition again. As there has been but little repairs for the past three . years, it is going to take an immense amount of ties and other timber to bring the tracks back to normal condition. All this means business for the mills, and that means better times for all the people of the state. "THINK ABOUT IT' "Try Salem First," is a very good slogan, and if lived up to would result in much good to the city. Here is another, that would make a good auxiliary to it: "Think About It.'' Do you want your dollar .to remain at home, work at home, live at home and board at the same place? If so spend it at home. "Think About It." If I spend my dollars out of Salem and you spend your dollars out of Salem, and all the people spend their dollars out of Salem whatinell will become of Salem? "Think About It." If every dollar that goes out of Salem for things that can be bought in Salem were spent in Salem, every man in Salem would have a job. Think About It. If every man in Salem who had a job spent the money he received for work done on tha job, in Salem, he would make work lor some other man and more jobs that would bring more money into circula tion and stir up business so that there would be more men needed to do Salem's work and spend their money in Salem and There is no end to this story. "Think About It." Germany has made a statement of the terms under which she will accept peace. That is a German newspaper has made an "unofficial" outline of what it alleges to be Germany s terms. It asks that so far as Germany is con cerned she be placed in the same position as before the war. In addition she would have Poland made a separate kingdom, and free from Russian dominance. Belgium would be given back her territory, but would be com pelled to pay a sum to Germany equal to what she spent usually before the war in maintaining her armies. Russia would be bound to pay Germany a large sum annually, the amount to be determined later, and the allies would pay Germany $3,500,000,000. It is probable the case was put strong enough so that Germany could make some con cessions; and it is equally probable that the allies would demand that these concessions be great enough to be en tirely wiped out, and then some further concessions granted them. England's answer was simply to ridicule the proposition. The war department is to urge on congress not only the citizen army suggested by the president, but to frame the law with the ultimate object of having compulsory military service in the United States. This understanding; was arrived at after "consulting the officers of the army who are unanimously of the opinion that only by taking this course can the country be in shape to protect itself against all enemies at all times." It means eventually the adopting of the German system. While the majority of the American people realize that the country must be pre pared for defense, it is doubtful if the sentiment is ripe yet for such a radical change in our military system. Tomorrow night there will be things doing in Portland, in spite of the wishes or commands of Mayor Albee, or the efforts of the chief of police. There may not, and per haps will not be as someone suggests a "druken orgy,'' but there will be some lively times. There will be many to crook their elbows in a long farewell to the old order of things and to tell the firm of Booze & Barleycorn good bye. In this case with many, the first day of the year: will be the morning after, although with some real energetic devotees at the shrine of Bacchus the morning after will not come until still another morning after. The supreme court Tuesday indorsed the position taken by Attorney General Brown in the state highway engineer case, holding that State Engineer Lewis had control of the state highway work. Governor Withy combe and State Treasurer Kay of the board of control took a different view of the case from the Attorney General but the supreme court failed to agree with them. Hereafter Mr. Lewis will have charge of all state high way wrork. Just twenty four hours from midnight tonight, Oregon will be dry, and "constitutionally" so. That she will re main dry indefinitely is pretty certain, for it is now a part of the constitution and it will take an overwhelming senti ment to rustle votes enough to ever get it "out again. RippKngRhijmGS WHAT CAUSES COLDS? This question is asked every day. A cold is really a fever, not always caused by the weather but often due to disordered blood or lack of important food-elements. In changing seasons fat-foods are essential because they distribute heat by enriching the blood aud so render the system better able to withstand the varying elements. This is the important -reason why Scott's Emulsion should always be taken for colds, and it does more builds strength to prevent sickness. Scott's Emulsion contains Nature's rare strength-building fats, so skillfully Dienaea mat tne blood prohts trom every drop. It is free from harmful drucs or alcohol.

Most of the delegates will not be from Missouri, but she will "snow ttu'in just tne same. Attorney. General Brown was in Portland yesterday, and made an address before the irrigation congress in ses sion there. It strikes us he is having a pretty strenuous time with the job of keeping the state dry and another of trying to make it wet, on his hands at the same time. If one can go to bed and sleep, he has no cause to wail or weep, however large the load of care that he is called upon to bear.' A good night's sleep should nerve the soul to put affliction in the hole. The man who rises from his bed, refreshed by sleep from heels to head, and yet confesses dotard fear of griefs and worries lurking near, is much too cheap to have around; he's dear at half a cent a pound. But if a fellow cannot snooze, when he takes off his shirt and shoes, and soaks his false teeth in a pail, and hangs his whiskers on a nail, the fight's un equal from the first, and he is bound to draw the worst. He cannot fight with steady lance, he cannot look with dauntless glance upon the troubles of the day; he wants to shriek and run away. One fellow wins in all he tries, and cap tures every offered prize, because when he retires to bed, he sleens eitrht hours, like some one dead. Another fails and draws a blank, and owes some money at the bank, be cause at night he seldom knows a solid hour of real repose. 1 1 f v;' . BETHEUEWS i (Capital .Tournnl Special Service.)
