"Stayton, Ore, Nov. 80, 1914
Dear Sirs: We have read consid-
cradle of late about the possibilities
of trade in our line in the Islands
and have sold considerable OF our
product to some business houses
there. and knowing that there was a
cons derable quantity of woods raised
there, we want to ask your opinion re-
garding the removal of our wooden
machinery to the Islands and eStab-
fishing " manufacturing business
there to supply the market with such
variety of WOODEN goods as the mar
ket demands in cloth, blankets, etc.
! I'VE have a plant that will make
any kind of wooden goods that would
be required in any climate, and when
in full operation employ about 100
hands and consume about 800, 900
pounds of wool and cotton each year.
If there is not that much wool raised
there we could get the balance from
Australia or California. =
I'VE know there is a market for
some WOODEN goods in the Islands but
how much we do not know, neither do
we know the local conditions, such as
what water or fuel, etc, would cost,
or if you people would want an in.
Gustry Of this nature there, and if you
will kindly take this matter up with
parties likely to be interested, that
would take some stock in such a pro-
position and advise US as to the above,
we will take the matter up further
with you with view OF removing our
machinery there and commencing OPP

Senator LaFoIIette's Defeat

Not since 1900, when Senator Robert
NJ LaFollette battled against the Re
publican stalwarts and won his NOM
ination has he had a real reverse un-
til last Tuesday, when his candidates
for governor and senator went down
to sweeping defeat. In 1908 Sena-
tor Stephenson defeated LaFollette's
candidate but this was due to the di-
two candidates. Last Tuesday there
we've several candidates running under
the LaFollette banner. and the inabili-
ty of the senator to control his fol-
lowers and concentrate on one set of
candidates is sign of his weakening
power in Wisconsin. Governor Nc
Govern was the ti-LaFollette can
didate for senator against Lieutenant
Governor Morris and the fight was
especially bitter between these two
candidates. Governor McGovern
scored a great victory which will prob
ably give LaFollette a hostile col
league in the Senate. Moreover, Gov
ernor McGoyern was the Roosevelt
Wisconsin manager at Chicago and
defeated the presidential ambitions of
LaFollette, so far as that state was
concerned. Now that the governor
friend and manager of Roosevelt, is
back in the Republican fold and is the
regular candidate for senator, shows
that this is the beginning of the end
of the Progressive movement in that
state as a distinct party.

Americas Danger of War.

At Portland, Hon. Curtis Guild, for
mer governor of Massachusetts, and
former ambassador to Russia, startled
the members Of the Portland Club
Thursday evening. The speaker. talk
ing from a fund of intimate knowl-
edge of international affairs and deep
study of history, told them things
that have not been told or printed in
their entirety before. And it was
neither a pleasing nor reassuring
picture that he drew Of this countrys
foreign policy during the Wilson ad-
ministration, and the grave danger in
which the President is now involving
the country.
Reading from the Declaration Of
London, signed by all the powers, the
status of merchant ships Of belliger-
emit power, which may not change
flags to that of a neutral power to
avoid capture. he showed that the
United States, because OF the ship
ping measures passed and in passage
by the Democratic Congress at the be.
hest of the Democratic President. is
the only one of the signers that has
broken faith. He als) pointed out that
any English. French or German
steamer purchased by individuals or
by the Government was liable to be
fired upon and captured by the cruis-
ers Of either Germany or France or
England, under the clause OF the Dec
laration Of London, signed by the
United States, providing that such
vessels do not thereby become neutral.
And II the American Flag is fred
upon, under any circumstances" said
Ambassador Guild, Il think there will
be war"
A month ago. on Wednesday, Aug.
5, the Kennebec Journal pointed out
this same danger. saying:
And at this hour America seems
likely to become involved through the
most stupendous blunder of an adj
ministration Of blunders. The proposed
change of American registry laws, at
the insistence of western and south
ern interests that have through their
selhshness practically obliterated
American shipping, gives promise of
far-reaching consequences. Not only
would the proposition put a premium
on foreign shipping of any rotten type,
but 1t menaces the peace of the nation

Then


One hundred and ninety-eight
years ago to-day the first light
house erected along the shore of
the American continent cast its
feeble beam from Little Brewster
Island across Boston Harbor 1t
was crude structure OF rough
boulder stone. hoped with iron
bands, and built by the Massacnu-
sets Colony at a cost of about $I1-
400. It's erection marked a long step
forward in making coastal nav
igation safe. Before that day mar.
liners were warned of danger by
open fires, as is witnessed by a
bill presented by the people of
Nantucket to the General Court of
Massachusetts, for "fier bales of
pitch and ocum." which they had
supplied for the beacon at Aller-
ton Point. To maintain the light
house on Little Brewster Island it
was ordained that all vessels using
Boston harbor should contribute
the sum of one pence for each
trip they made past the light.
The first lighthouse keeper in
America bore the name Of Worthy
lake. and that he was conscientious
in his trust is evident by the fact
that during a great storm he con-
centrated his attention on keeping
his light blazing. although the
the hurricane was sweeping his
flock of sheep over the cliffs into
the raging sea. In the same year
that the United States adopted the
constitution, 1889. it took over the
eight lighthouses then standing
along the Atlantic coast from New
Hampshire to South Carolina. They
were placed under the Treasury
Department and in 1852 the pres
ent Lighthouse Service was es-
tablished by Congress.
