BELFAST.
(By Consul Hunter sharpD

(By Consul Hunter Sharp.)
Belfast, with a population of about
400, 900, is essentially Industrial Its
commerce embraces many branches
of industry, but is known above all
for its linen trade.
Commercially and industrially the
year 1910 was a prosperous one.
There was a good demand for labor.
not only in the linen industry, but
also in shipbuilding. the building
trades. engineering shops, rope works
tobacco factories, and in all the allied
and general trades.
Though as a whole 1910 was a good
year for the linen industry, it was
one of difficulties and Of anxiety for
the spinning end of the trade. and il
closed with both spinners and manu-
tacturers in some degree of perplex-
ity due to the state of the raw-ma-
terial market There was a steady
business throughout the year, and at
no time was the production of looms
sold ahead for less period than four
to six months. IN the early months
of the year business was secured at
a fair margin of profit, but owing

year was the falling Off in the de-
mand for colored dress linens; but
this, after the great rush Of the past
| four years, was to be expected. How
ever, as the fashion changed in fa-
vor Of white goods, which brought
about a strong and growing demand
! for all classes of plain linens for
bleaching purposes, the falling off
was not severely felt.
Household goods, such as hucks,
crashes. etc. were in good demand
and although trade with the United
States in some departments was
disappointing, manufacturers Of this
class Of material had little cause for
complaint Damask looms were
well employed, due to the steady de-
mand, more particularly for the fin
er and better class of goods. During

noting the growth or their hair, max

GO WEST. YOUNG MAN.

Tom lawson, famous financier has
just made the same discovery that
Horace Greely famous journalist
made half century ago, namely that
the west is the land of opportunity.
The latter issued his oft repeated in
junction, Young man, go west" and
the former now comes forward with
much the same admoniton couched
in terms that make up in emphasis
what they lack in terseness. Young
man." he says IF YOU don't buy
yourself ticket for the west within
the next week, you ought to be drag
ged before the nearest police judge
and given ninety days at hard labor"
all of watch, coming from one of the
worlds best money makers. proves
that despite the thousands upon
thousands who have needed the words
of Greedy, there is still room on the
Pacific slope for the youth who is
seeking to rise.
Lawson has just returned to his
home in Boston after a visit to the
northwest and it seems that what he
saw here was great revelation to
him. ITO my mind the far western
United states and Canada is the
most wonderful section of the world. -
he is quoted as saying on his return
to the old east. Opportunities lay
along the railroad tracks. on the
mountain sides, in the cutters, crying
to be snatched. Opportunities are as
plentiful as the leaves on the trees, as
The fish within the bounding brooks,
as the grass upon the earth. Go west
Go west now"
When a man of the calibre of Tom
lawson goes into such ecstatic rap
lures there is undoubtedly some
grounds for it. His statements may
startle and surprise the western born
man at first but sober reflection can
but convince of their truth. Here in
Cmatilla county there is abundant
proof that opportunities are plentiful.
Ten years ago, the entire west end
was a barren waste of sand. Today
a small part of this area is green and
blooming and yielding goodly profits
to the men who have settled there.
and there.are thousands of acres yet
to be reclaimed to the uses of civili-
q ton. The great grain belt of the
county offers rich opportunities to the
men who will demonstrate that in
tensified and diversified farming is
more profitable than the present
methods
Lawson is right. The west is still
the land of opportunity. One gerer-
alton discovered it, another has been
living off its virgin wealth and it re-
mains for future generations to de-
velop it TO its maximum productivity.

nor wEArHER DRESS ron MEN


c. w Andrews, librarian of the
Crerar library in Chicago HIS ex-
planned a question of masculine dress
IN response to a criticism of library
rules, which is broader in its applica-
tion than to reading room etiquette.
\ reader in shirt sleeves and suspend
ers claimed that he had been requir-
ed by the rules to put on his coat.
whereas other readers were undis-
turhed though they also We're in shirt
sleeves but without suspenders Mr..
Andrews very sensibly and conclusive
ly replied that the difference is one
"between dress and undress" That
phrase presents the whole case. 1t
needs no elaboration and there is no
answer to it. But the important point
is that as to shirt-sleeve "dress" Gin
contradiction to shirt-sleeve "un-
dressD, no effort is made to popu-
larize II, If suspenders remain out
of vogue as a part of external dress,
why not some sort of shirtblouse or
Jumper that could be worn over
them conveniently and usually in
warm weather This would solve
more questions than those of decency
in reading room. There are decent
persons and many who cannot afford,
with reference to time as well as
money to wear two kinds of clothing
on the same day, one kind from which
they may remove the coat and still be
dressed and another from which they
cannot remove the coat without be-
ing undressed. \ warm-season style
of dress for men, to be worn with or
without a coat at pleasure, would
put them on an equality with women
in n respect in which they are now
pathetically and often aggravatingly
inferior.

ONE MONTH FROM TODAY.

Just one month from today on Sept.
Il. within the four boundary lines of
Pendleton will be gathered the larg-
est crowd ever assembled in an east
ern Oregon city. One month from
today the festivities marking the
opening Of the second annual frontier
and wild west exhibition known as
the Roundup will be inaugurated.
The first statement is a conclusion
from the second, and is perhaps the
more important of the TWO.
It means that in another month,
Pendleton will be called upon not only
to entertain vast multitude Of pleas
IRE lovers but also to provide accom-
modations for a great mob of human
ity. The first requirement will be
easily met for with the bucking con-
tests and other wild west features
during the day and the program in the
fair pavilion at night. no mortal
could ask for more in the line of, en-
joyment 1t is the latter demand
with which the citizens must concern
themselves mostly for it is no easy
matter for city of five thousand in

number OF its population and give the

ecution in fact remains with the loyal
and patriotic residents of the city.
Several thousand folding beds have
been ordered through local furniture
houses and the Commercial club and
Round-U2 committees are earnestly
endeavoring to dispose Of these beds
to residents at actual wholesale prices
in order that the great overflow from
the hotels and lodging houses may
have places Of rest at night. Payment
for these beds will not be required
Until after the Roundup and assur-
snce practically amounting to a
promise is given that these beds will
be filled during three and possibly
four nights so that the purchase price
will be more than returned and the
beds secured as permanent posses
sions.
A very encouraging number OF the
residents have responded to the ur-
gent call but there are still con-
siderable number Of these beds yet
% be taken. Some residents have
protested that they do not wish to ac-
cept strangers Of whom they know
nothing into their homes but this
need be no obstacle in the way of the
performance Of this patriotic duty.
Visitors will be asked 10 bring with
them some recommendation from a
lodge. church or other organization
of their home town with which to in
troduce themselves at the accommo-
dation headquarters in the Commerci-
a. building. And then, it is not a
necessity that the beds be installed
in the houses. The September nights
