Hope Not Dead.

In times passed many of our
citizens cherished the hope that
the West Side railway might be
extended on south from Cor
wallis. Indeed, this hope has
not wholly died. Where it was
finally to terminate depended
largely upon the mind of the
hopeful individual.
Some men thought that ulti-
mately it would be run on to
Junction City, there to make con
nection with the main line from
Portland to San Francisco.
Others held to the belief that
eventually it would run on down
through a rich and untouched
section of country to Coos Bay.
1t is now assured that Coos Bay
is to have a road, but not at pres
lient from this part of the world.
A few days ago we received q
letter that was written at Drain,
Ore, and has reference to ideas
held by a once well-known mar
OF this state, but who has passed
to his Father. The letter may
be of interest to some; it is a.
follows:

only guarantee me work until
the first of the year, but thought
perhaps they might keep me
longer. l like it here real we'll;
it is real warm here during the
day but the nights are always
cool.
Most of the water is good and
plenty of it. Ira Hunters well
is about 40 feet deep and seems
to be inexhaustible and I don't
think I ever drank better water
outside of a mountain stream.
Things look good here TO me f.
nancially and if am not very
much mistaken I will stay.
| Crops are good and prices fair
and l think there will be all
kinds of money here this tall,
but all I can get is what l ana
able to earn. Hone had a little
money to invest I think one
could do well. Twelve per cent
: the customary rate of interest
SO times have to be good to be
able to pay that.
Ira Hunter is doing well, is
running, or having it done, 900
acres of land; it will yield IS or
40 bushels per acre, he still holds
the position in the store that he
/ got when he fist came here. He
| has been mighty go,d to me- and

/ will owe it all to him.

|tion nothing would give me
more pleasure than to have you

Meaning of Terms.

TERMS Used in Forestry AMI Log
ging'' just published as Bulletin No. 81
of the Bnreau of Forestry, affords the
lay reader an insight into strange YER
nacular.
The first halt of the pamphlet is de-
voted to forestry. There we may read
all the technical terms in good nse, from
absolute forest land'' to yield table. +"
Many terms explain themselves, but
where they are not SO readily understood
the short definition makes plain at once
the idea conveyed and the need of q
special word or phrase to convey it.
Perspicuity, precision and common sense
seem to have been the objects sought by
the compilers.
On turning to the logging terms which
are listed in the last half of the bulletin,
we come across some truly remarkable
expressions terms which, though evi-
| IDENTIFY derived from slang, are now il
good u Sc among weodsmen either
Throughout the country or in the region

denoted in each case. There the unini-
tiated may learn the distinction between
a ''ball hooter" and "boom ras" be-
tween "bull cock" and ''cattyman"
and find that none of them refers to any
lesser animal than the logger himself.
Among other creatures OF the logging
camp may be number also the .salli-
gator" the dolphin" the "dog,' the
''pig' and the "road Donkey all
names of animals endowed with life by
the vernacular of the logger. The "alli-
gator proves to be ''a boat used in
handling logs" the dog" ''sbort
heavy piece of STEEL" the "pig" "rig-
/ ging sled;;" and the ''road donkey"
donkey engine mounted on heavy sled,
etc. Birds are represented by the "blue
jay'' and the rooster" (also called
goose neck') reptiles by the SNAKE
and insects by the ''katydid.' A ten
derfoot intending visit among the
brawny loggers in the North Woods,
the Appalachian Forest, or elsewhere,
should find it decidedly in order to take
along this bulletin.
| As the only reliable handbook OF the
kind in the language, Bulletin No. 81
will be in wide request among those in
terested in forestry and numbering. It
may be secured by application to the

EMPLOYER, LOOK PLEASANT
Show Yourself Master of Situation In
stead of Slave by Wearing "Smile
That Won't Come Off,"

If you are an employer do not
go about your place of business as
though you thought life were a
wretched, miserable grind, says O.
S. Marden, in Success. Show
yourself mater of the situation,
not it's slave. Rise above the petty
annoyances which destroy peace
and harmony. Make up your mind
that you are too large to be over
come by trifes. Resolve that you
will be larger than your business,
that you will overtop it with your
manliness and cheerfulness.
To say nothing of its being your
duty to make the lives of those
who are helping you to carry on
your business as pleasant as pos
sible and as full of sunshine as pos
sible, it is the best policy for you
to pursue. You know very well
that a horse that is prodded and
fretted and urged all the time by
means &C TWl:p and 60, - a.Id rem,
will not travel nearly so far with
out becoming exhausted as one
that is urged forward by gentle
ness and kind treatment. In their
susceptibilityt kindness men and
women are in nowise different
from the lower animals. You can
not expect your employees. to re-
main buoyant, cheerful, alert and
unwearied under the goad of
scowls and the lash of a bitter
tongue. Energy is only another
name for enthusiasm, and how
can you expect those who work for
you to be enthusiastic or energetic
in your service when surrounded
by an atmosphere of despondency
and gloom, when they expect a vol
ley of curses and criticism every
time you pass.
Many a man who could have
been a success sleeps in a failures
grave to-day because of his
gloomy, mean, contemplate dis
position and manner. He poisoned
the atmosphere about him b,
venting his spleen, dyspepsia ant
bile on everyone in his vicinity
He not only minimized the yalu,
of his own efforts, but he also par
alyzed the powers, the initiative
the helpful faculties and suggest
i've ideas of all those who worked
/ for him.
