NOT A PLEASING STORY
"THE LONGEST WAY 'ROUND"
The Highway commission is divided as to the location
of the road from Portland to McMinnville. Commission-
. ers Adam and Thompson agreed on locating the road
from McMinnville to Monmouth by way of Ballston and
' Dallas which lengthens it considerably and passes through
a sparsely settled country, while Commissioner Benson
insisted on the more direct road through Amity, McCoy
and Rickreall. The latter route passes through a thickly
settled section, and Mr. Benson insists the road so located
...:n j fv,Q mnct o-nnH tn settlers and also be a saving to
the state by shortening it and putting it on a much less
costly route to build. There was a big meeting of inter
ested parties in Portland Monday night at which the
claims of each route were presented. Some of those pres
ent even insisted they had never heard of Bahston, which
is some slam at that enterprising little city. The commis
sion has not yet announced its decision other than by
showing a preference of two to one in favor of the
Ballston route.
A dispatch from Chicago says a new party may be
formed at a meeting of 100 delegates called at that city
for October 3. There will be twenty delegates from each
of the political orders, Prohibitionists, Progresswes
Socialists, Single-taxers and Union Labor. If the .child
to be born has not yet been named we would suggest as
being peculiarly appropriate, "Adullamites.
' ' The. apple cut an important figure in the first garden
and it also was the cause of "Ike" Newton discovering the
cause of things falling always toward the center of the
earth. He called it "gravity," probably because he could
think of nothing else just then to name it Hood River is
another place where the apple has got in its Avork Tto
i. u Vinvo risfovered it is belter to pick
fhe apples rather then trust them to the tender memes . of
gravitation which bruises their sides and makes them un
salable. Instead of bothering about gravitation they just
call it Gravenstein, the best on earth and let it go at that.

and that it is necessary to produce the food as near con

pointed out that emergency gardens in the cities had
produced this year food-stuffs valued at $.150,000,000. .
Josh Billings said "a monkey is an amusing cuss be
cause you never know what he is going to do next ine
kaiser and his spying ambassadors are certainly in this
class, not especially amusing but certainly doing things
enough to keep a fellow guessing what will be exposed of
their doings next. Apparently though the exposures al
ready made show the spies and intriguers went the limit
of in all lines of treachery.
The outbreak of an epidemic of authrax among the cat
tle of Yolo county, California, coming on the heels of the
revelations by the state department as to German activ
ities in this line, gives color to the suggestion that it might
be due to Prussian "kultur." The disease is believed to
have been spread through the water used in irrigation.
From the number of German intriguers exposed by the
state department it is likely it will have to employ an
elaborate card index system to keep track of them and
have them convenient for reference.
Four more suffragettes were arrested Monday for
picketing the White House. Apparently they have not
yet read the returns from Maine.
Here is a Portland shipping story showing the results
of the war, though the whole decrease is perhaps not due
to that cause.
In 1913-14 Portland shipped by deep sea vessels of flour
or its equivalent in wheat, 1,154,561 barrels. For 191415
the shipment was 904,397 barrels. For 1915-16 there were
886,610 barrels and for the present season 590,465. The
shipments have decreased practically one-half in four
years. With the completion of shipping now on the ways
and that which should be built before the next crop is
ripe, Portland should ship as much flour in 1918 as ever
left her harbor. Indeed under existing conditions she
should ship very considerably more. The fixing of the
price of wheat so. that the Portland market has the better
of that of Chicago, and the inducement there is to in
crease the wheat acreage, should provide cargoes for the
vessels as fast as they are completed. It is up to Port
land's labor to say whether this prosperity shall come to
Portland, or whether she is to still further decrease her
shipments and become yearly of less importance as a port,

AMUSED TOLERANCE
By a vote of 53 to 18 the Argentine Chamber of Depu
ties yesterday voted to support a break in relations with
Germany, uie senate last week by a vote of 23 to 1 voted
the same, and it is now up to the president, who, it is
claimed, can under the constitution veto the proposition.
As public sentiment seems to be practically unanimous for
severing all relations with Germany it is hardly probable
he will take this step. One rumor is to the effect that
Argentine will send troops to France at once if the allies
will provide the transportation.
The Seattle unions flatly refuse to arbitrate their wage
demands. That is explained by the fact that they be
lieve they can force, them through, right or wrong. A
labor union leader knows but one law and that is the law
of might he never recognizes justice or right and will
only listen to reason when clubbed into it, figuratively
speaking. If the shipyards of the Northwest should open
up with non-union workmen these same union labor lead
ers would put up a long, pitiful wail for arbitration, but
as long as they think ;they can put over anything they
demand they refuse all appeals to reason and justice.
Union labor tyranny is the greatest menace to the gen"
eral welfare of the nation existing today.
Samuel Gompers says the strikes in Portland and on
the Sound are to be settled on the s&me basis as that on
which the San Francisco strike was arranged. In that
case there was a twenty per cent increase for all receiving
less than $4.25 a day, and twelve and a half per cent for
all receiving above that sum, but no increase to be above
$6.00 a day. Double time is allowed for all over time after
11 o'clock at night.
Yesterday Prussian "kultur" varied its program and
took a day off from inncculating cattle with disease and
lying to workingmen of various countries by making an
air raid on London and killing a few women, children and
ncn-combatants.
CHAPTEB xv.
Elsio laughed merrily when I told
her where Bob was going, and why.
My explanation, that had I thought of
my plan in time it would have made
Bob decline, amused her immensely.
"He's perfectly safe with John Ken
dall, so doiif worry your head about
mm," sue finally remarked.
"Oh, I dou't worry, only I know ho
would have enjoyed staying at home
with me so much more than sitting, up
iu John Kendall' bachelor quarters."
"And you really believa that"
"Of course. I kuow how I feel and
naturally as he loves me, Bob feels the
same. ' '
I wish I had your faith! Let him
out with liia men friend's, Margaret, He
will think all the more of you if you
dou't demand too much of him."
"Douiaud! why it is a pleasure I am
sure. " .
"Very well! go your own gait, but
Margaret, remember one thing: Eveu
a wife grows uninteresting it' a man
sees too much of her."
"You cynic," I returned, just as
ioiu canio in aua tne talk turned into
other channels.
By the first of September a number
of things had occurred iu connection
with our social adjustment, one to the
other, which made clearer the difference
of opinion between Bob and me. The one
thing which worried me considerably
was how I was to get Bob to change
his social habits, his companions. He
was married now, and it was not right
for him to have the kind of friends I
did not also enjoy. Neither was it right
for him to go where I could not accom
pany him unless it was occasionally
on business. So I reasoned.
While Boo still spoko tenderly of
his mother, still missed her the sharp
edge of his grief had worn off. He was.
for running about almost as he did be
fore he married, and before she died.
And he did not appear able to see why
I should always go with him; or he re
main at home with me. His mother had
encouraged him to spend much time
with his men friends; so making it har
der for me to make him understand that
now that he was married it was not
right. .
I was not interested in many of the
people Bob knew. I had met few of his
former associates who appealed to me
in the least. Not that they were not
perfectly moral, and nice men, but they
were all wrapped up in ideas, and books,
which held no interest for me.
Even John Kendall, and Homer Creed
more at times bored me to distraction.
Bob would occasionally ask them up
either for dinner ot for the evening,
when the conversation, instead of hold
ing interest lor me would be of things
about which I cared not a bit. Then,
too, he had some men friends whose
wives I did rot like, tho to please him
I returned their calls, and was perfect
ly polite to them. I knew these women
liked Bob. In fact they took no pains
to conceal that fact. They would lead
him on to talk of books, of queer people,
people who had done, or wore doing un
usual things, and he would become so
excited, so different from the calm,

quiet Bob I had married.
I had come dimly, very dimly, to
realize that Elsie was right in her esti
mate of Bob '3 character, or rather his
disposition.
"I do wish you would drop some of
those friends of yours, Bob," I said to
him many times. Ho always replied:
"I wish you would try and like them,
Margaret. They are all clever interest
ing people. I can 't understand why you
object to them."
"Perhaps they are too clever and
interest you too much."
"But that is nonsense! why shouldn't
you want me to be interested f"
"When we were first married, and
for many months, you seemed to be
satisfied with my society. You were a
quiet Wiome-loving man, seemingly. But
lately you have changed, you seem to
crave excitement, discussion of things
in which I have no interest, and I can't
understand why they appeal to you."
"You forget Margaret that my sor
row for mother was very real, that it
was new, but that like all things in
this life we find strength somehow to
bear, and gradually not to forget, but
to forget to be sad."
"I know your friends do not like
me," I replied.
"They would if you would let them"
"What do you mean, let them!"
"Just what I say. You act annoyed
when they come here. They are clever
people and sense it at once."
"Why do they come then"
"Because I ask them."
"I don't see why you want them.
You, and a few of our old friends like
Elsie and Tom are enough for me; why
aren't they for you?"
"Because we are very different,
Margaret. I enjoy people, bright, clever
intelligent people around me more than
anytling in the world. You do not seem
to care for them I am sorry to say."
"No, I don't! they take you, your
thoughts from me."

EIGHT PEOPLE OUT OF

THEY ARE IN THE
WRONG VOCATION
But there is no excuse fpr
remaining in a. line of work
that does not bring out
YOUR BEST.
There is no reason why
your son and daughter
should not find the vocation
for which they are best
fitted.
Vocational counsel, the
newest science known to
educators and the business
world, enables a person to
KNOW whether they should
be engaged in a professional,
mechanical, or commercial
pursuit.
Vocational Counsel is not
Phrenology under a new
name, neither is it Palmis
try, Clairvoyance or any so
called "Fortune Telling."
It is a scientific study,
phychological in character,
the result of the best efforts
of some of the world's lead
ing educators and business
men.

I would like to be of as

GRIEF CULTURE
Neglected sorrows never thrive; they must
be nursed if they'd survive. I sometimes sit
around and mope, like one who's said fare
well to hope; I grouch around and scowl and
sulk, and dish up sighs and groans in bulk.
If people note this woe of mine, and try to
stop the flow of brine, I sigh more deeply
than before, more furiously walk the floor.
There is no fun in being blue, if no one stops
to pity you. If, when I grieve and tear my
hair, the folks around me do not care, but
SaV. "Wfi Wouldn't trivo q runf
1 skate's lament," I wine the teardrnns from
my face, and leave the well known wailing
place. I plant my sorrow right away, and smiling greet
tne sunny day. No hermit ever has the peeves; no hermit
ever sulks and grieves. There must be company for
gloom; a lonesome sorrow will not bloom. The man who
sulks and broads at home, like Manfred in a Byron pome,
would quit it if his kids and wives would just pursue their
workday lives, and give no heed to his despair, and act as
if he were not there.
