BOOM TIMES ARE COMING War times are always prosperous times up to a certain point. There is a great increase in expenditures for war purposes and this means that there must be greatly in creased production of somethinb for which the money can be expended. The United States will expend on account of the war probably ten billions of dollars in the first full year after the war started. This means that with what surplus we had in the shape of materials that can be used, we must produce something for which the main portion of the money is expended. In other words the industries must increase production by perhaps seven or eight bil lion dollars for the year, over the normal. This cannot help but create prosperous times. It will be sometime after the war before business gets down to normal again, for the devastated countries of Europe will have to be rebuilt, and this will draw heavily on America for ma terials and machinery. After this there may. perhaps come the reaction and another period of stagnant bus iness while the country readjusts itself to its former con ditions. Just now it looks as though Oregon was to feel the effect of this greatly increased business. She is al ready getting a touch of it in the way of ship building; but there will be another great demand on her for lum ber, when the war ceases, for use in Europe. With two thirds of a billion dollars to be expended for airships, most of the timber for which must come from Oregon's forests the lumber industry is due for a great boost, that will probably be limited only by the ability of the rail roads to furnish cars. Oregon so far has been hurt by the war, but this is now to be changed. Now that the draft Is over the next thing will be the calling up for physical examination those who must respond to the first draft. This will not be done in those' counties which have supplied their quotas by enlistment. These are Portland and Multnomah county and also Ben ton, Coos, Crook, Douglas, Hood River, Jackson, Jose phine, Lane, Linn, Marion, Polk, Tillamook and Yamhill. In these there will be no physical examination unless a second draft is made, or rather a second call. Should this second call be made the men will be called in the order in which their numbers were drawn. In the counties above named and in Portland this would be commencing with the first number drawn, 258. In the other counties the call would commence with the first name after the last one called in the first draft. It is expected it will be ten days or two weeks before the men are called before the examining boards. The senate has at last passed the food control bill after a month of amendments offered and discussed and voted down. As finally eoing to the house the hill is made to cover but three items, food, feed and fuel. The latter covers kerosene and gasoline. It also provides for con gressional direction by a committee composed of ten five from each house and these to consist of three democrats and two republicans. Just why the political color of the committee had to be looked after no one knows other than the congressmen and the senators. Neither is it known why any report should be made to such a committee, un less it is intended in this manner to create a national council of war, for which there is no authority. It is ex pected when the hill goes back to the house there will be a bitter fight; for the house had passed the bill just as the president desired it, while the senate has made an en tirely different measure of it. It will be seen from this that it may be some time yet before the food control bill becomes a law. The Jong drawn out trial of Mrs. Mooney at San Fran cisco, on the charge of murder in connection with the preparedness parade, it is expected will be in the hands of the jury and a verdict may be rendered today, or at tne latest tomorrow, it is an event of more than usual interest because besides the rerrular iurv sittine- in the case, there is also a jury of twelve men selected by union labor to hear the evidence and after the regular jury has reported, to make its nndings. it is not an official jury in anyway, it being-an experiment to see if labor would find a different verdict from the same evidence than is found by the regular jury. For this reason much more than the usual interest is taken in the case. Newspaper Decision Based on Hard Sense One of the clearest and most sen s:ble decisions in regard to the payment if newspaper subscriptions was" that handed dow.i recently by Judge George Thomas in Columbia, Neb. Iu this case the corrt followed the decision made in a similar ca-t by the district eourt of npneila of Kansas City, Mo., which mid: "The preparation and publica tion of a tewspaper involves much mentxl anil physical labor, as well as an outlay of money. The common law principle is that when a man receives and uses a paper he is bouud to pay for it. Ho benefits and receives a pleasure from such labor and expenditure of the publisher as fully as if he had appro priated any other product of another's labor, and by such act he is held liable for Iho sn' script ion pr'ce." There is iiofliinp involved or evasive about this 'leeision. I he judge savs plainly what till newspaper publishers have always contended that to refuse payment for a newspaper is akin to wrongfully ap propriating the work of any other pro duce.

It was jiisi after a heavy downpour, and mud flowed like water.

"What do I care?" replied Matrix General Goethals has already tendered his resignation from the shipping board, and it is expected Herbert Hoover will soon follow suit and refuse to have anything further to do with the handling of the food distribution and conservation problems. Both these resignations will take the larger men from the jobs and leave them in the hands of men far less capable. General Goethals has shown traits peculiar to the martinet, but his splendid showing in the work at the Panama canal compels regret at his action. Still it is better than an interminable quar rel between himself and the chairman of the board, Den man. It seems the same course is to be taken that fol lowed the breaking out of the civil war, and that is that the process of elimination alone will finally get the right men in the right places. The Finnish Diet has passed the bill announcing its en tire independence of Russia. There was great enthusiasm on the occasion although Finland expects war with Russia i on account of her action. In view of the recent announce- j ment from Petrograd insisting that every peoples should have the right to select their own form of government.) the Finns may find they are mistaken and that Russia will not make any serious objection. Since his cryptic remark a few days agb that "all re- Demous elements are now under control," Edison has said nothing.

If he meant that, most folks will helieve him as he is not given to boasting, or making assertions that are not borne out by the facts. Should his statement prove to be concerning them, then the end of the War is not far away. Germany is far from being conquered, but with her submarine out of it she has nothing to hope, and can only go on piling up a greater debt with no hope of bet tering her condition. i Germany has lost confidence in her Zeppelins and is sending them to the scrap heap when the airplanes of the allies do not perform the job for her; and next she will lose confidence in her submarines, and then there will be something doing in the way of talking real peace terms. Saturday the senate passed the bill appropriating $640,000,000 for building airships. As the house had al ready passed the bill all that remains for it to become a law is the signature of the president, and this it will no doubt receive without delay.

Which would you rather be, the man who got "13", the chap who drew "23", or have "30" for yours? Chairman Denman yesterday extended the !olive branch to General Goethals, but the dispatches failed to state whether the general accepted it as such, or passed it up as a lemon. With the draft over, work on the steel bridge getting under way and a great crop of berries demanding every available hand, the valley is just having one blamed busv thing after another. The cheering news comes from France that her crop conditions especially wheat, are greataly improved. Every bushel of gram grown in France is worth two grown in this country for the submarines cannot levy toll on it. The weather man predicts scattered showers bv the middle of the week. It is hoped thev will not be too widely scattered, and that at least one of them will hit every section of the valley.
