The Dallas sawmill was built by
Robert Suitor in 1896, and was sue
oessfully operated by him until 1900,
when he sold the entire property to
the Thurston Brothers, Of Lindsay,
Ontario The latter firm made many
improvements in the plant, and en-
ioyed a substantial trade. One year
ago the mill was sold to the W. W.
Johnson Lumber Company. I'm addi-
tion to the mill here, this company
operates large mill in Minneapolis,
MINI. George e. Johnson, the man
ager of the Dallas mill, and Charles
II. Johnson, who has charge of the
company's interests in the East, are
sons of the late W. W. Johnson, a
pioneer lumberman of the Mississippi
Valley. Both were virtually brought
up in the lumber trade, and are
thoroughly familiar with the business
in it's every detail. Their connection
with the prominent lumber interests
of the Middle West and their many
years of experience in the business
enable them to operate their mills to
the very best advantage. Under their
management, the Dallas sawmill is
rated as one of the best in Oregon,
and it's products find a ready sale in
the lumber markets of the United
States.

THOUGHTS ON SOCIALISM.

In his communication published
last week, Mr.. E. Francis Gary
said: SOCIALISM is engrosslng the
attention of the civilized world.
That is putting it rather too strong
we apprehend; but, in some form
or other, Socialism has engaged
more or less attention for a long
time. We say. in some form or
other, because Socialism, like all
localities, is without definite form
or established boundaries. At one
time Socialism was defined as in
Guiding "every aspiration towards
the Improvement of Society," and
particularly. its object was, ito dit"
fuse the principles of cooperation
by the practical application Of
Christianity. to the purposes OF
trade and industry" 1t did not
take long to find out that traders
and industrials would not apply
Christianity to their business, so
Christian Socialism fell into decay.
But it was a beautiful concept and
richly deserved better fate. Pres
ent day Socialism seems to stand
pretty squarely on two propositions,
first, that the existing order of
things, whatever it may be, is
radically wrong in morals and
preposterous economically" and,
second, salvation lies in the trans
formation of private and competing
capitals into united, collective capt.
tai. We believe it is correct to
state that just now the first purpose
of Socialism is the adjustment Of
private capital, and while some So
cialists would advance slowly, STEP
by step, to that end, yet, with all,
the goal is the same, and ultimately
Socialism would naturally melt into
Communism. AS Individualism in
its last extremity runs to anarchy
and no government whatever, sc
Socialism runs to Communism anC
all government. To better under
stand this. we must consider wha

lygamy itself is not entirely diaboli
cal, except when joined to a DISPOSE
ton to exercise all the rights and
privileges Of American citizenship.
A man with two wives is not social
devil till he lays hold on a political

lean spirit revolts. We don't know
the nature of the animus behind
the row over Woolley s appointment

cions though. But whatever the
animus, it must be conceded that
nobody looked upon Woolley as a

vice. That was the crime that
damned him. He was none the
worse for being Mormon until he
began to look with longing on a
Gentile's job. That is what stirred
up the animals
There used to be only two sides
to the Mormon question-the Nor
mon side and the nti-Mormon side.
Both were wrong. Now there are
three sides-the Mormon side, the
Anti Mormon side and the Right
side. The best of us, Mormons
and anti-Mormons alike, are getting
on the third side just as fast as we
can, because no good citizen wants
to cling to the corpse of a dead
issue. And there is nothing left of
the other sides, but corpse.

despotism, could hold together the

FUNNY TEACHERS.

We have just waded through
very long and very solemn article
on the evil of allowing children to
speak lightly OF their school teach
ers or mimic or make fun of them.
1t may be admitted that children, if
encouraged, will run to excess.
But there are two sides to this ques-
ton, and there is no harm in being
just to the boys and girls. The
sense of humor is Unborn in all
properly constructed children. They
see the funny and the ridiculous
side of things and are moved &C
cordingly. Now if a school teacher
be built on funny lines, that is not
the fault of johnny or Jane, and it is
not their fault that they perceive
the funny thing. They cannot
help it, and when they have seen it
they cannot hold it.
We once knew a school teacher
who was in love, but we didn't know
then what a terribly serious thing
love is, so could not appreciate the
gravity of that teachers condition.
Every morning, about 9: 80, when
things had steadied down to that
monotonous buzz which is the aud
ibie expression of school room study,
that teacher would fetch from the
breast pocket of his long tailed coat,
a long letter written cris-cross and
every way. Then he would fetch a
long sigh from the bottom of his
stomach and begin solemn march
around the school room, with both
eyes glued fast to the letter. Pres
entity, he would begin to humble.
Then he would articulate a few
words, and press the letter against
his left ribs. Then he would smile
and go through some physical ex
ercises which were not down on the
card. In 80 seconds he was obliv
ious to the whole habitable globe
except that cris cross letter. Anc
in about 80 seconds ten or twelve
boys were solemnly following hin
about the school room, watching
his motions and mimicing them t.
the very best of their ability. Tn
first boy would reach down into hi

piece of a copy book, heave tire
