THE MORAL
PRINT

a NEW periodical was planned by
the prisoners of the B%lackwell's Is.
land penitentiary in New York, but
it cannot be issued. The first number
is written, but therei aren't any print
ers to print it. The few printers in
captivity are needed on department
work. and they are short-handed at
that.
No longer, 1t would seem, do prin-
ters as a class drink deep and run
into collision with the authorities.
They work, they take their pay envel-
opes home intact, they are quiet and
~law-abiding. Penitentiary periodicals
cry for them in vain.
One by one these traditions of the
carousing males pass into oblivion.
No railroad nan can take a drop If
he wants to keep his job. Iron workers
support Y. M. c. AS. Lumberjacks sub
scribe to magazines.
Is the world growing better?
Or Is it that the workers wives, NOV
ed by an advancing feminism, are
holding their husbands to a sterner
morality by the slogan, mo pay. no
pie!"
Whatever the cause may be, well
come the pious printer.
(And they might get out hat maya
zine on a mimeograph.)

WOOD BUILDINGS
WITHSTAND FURY
OF STORM BEST
Storms on Gulf of Mexico Caused
Little Damage to Structures or
to Shinged Roofs


Wooden buildings and shingled roofs
withstood the fury of the storm that
recently swept the Gulf of Mexico
better than did structures of other
materials. The fact is pointed out
by the Mississippi Lumberman, pub
! lished in Minneapolis, in the follow
ing editorial:
Manufacturers of lumber and shin
giles in the south are making capital
out of the manner in which wooden
buildings and shingle roofs withstood
the terrors of the recent storms that
swept the coast of the gulf of MeXi-
CO. These storms that caused such
havoc at Galveston, Hosuton and New
Orleans appear to have furnished dem
onstration of the fact that wooden
buildings and shingle roofs will suf-
fer less damage than buildings of 9th
er materials and roofs with other COW
erngs than wooden shingles
In an editorial in a New Orleans
paper under date of October 6, we
find the following:
We find ourselves recurring to GER
tain of the lessons of the storm.
Did you note how we'll the WOOD
EN- houses stood the stress? The
we'll built wooden houses of south
ern lumber?
Perhaps for many years to come,
perhaps, always, the great majority
of the homes of New Orleans will be
wooden structures. The material is
abundant. Good workmanship, sound
timbers, without skimping in the
beams and braces, produce structures
singularly sound and strong, and able
to outlast the lives of any who plan
and build them, or dwell in them
thereafter"
In later issue of the same paper
we find a news item which states that
around the lumber offices oS that city
there has been a great deal of COM
ment with reference to the way wood
en- buildings withstood the effects of
the tropical hurricane, and on the
streets there have been many COM
PARSONS drawn, all of which are en-
tirely favorable to wooden construc-
ton. 1t is further stated that in the
storm at Galveston and Houston about
two months ago, the cypress shingle
roofs suffered practically no damage
at all, and this experience was re-
peated during the storm at New Or
leans.
1t is stated that the city ordinance
which prohibits the use of wooden
shingles on new buildings in the resi-
dence districts caused greater loss
than New Orleans ever had by fire,
or ever will have.

NO REASON FOR
CROANINC OVER
TIMES-M'CAW
Aberdeen Man Returns From Trip
Through Middle West Full of
Optimism for Future

There are better times coming for
the Pacific Northwest with the open
ing of the new year, says w. o. Nc
Cav, who returned Sunday from a six
weeks trip through the Middle West.
The statement is made by Mr.. Nc
Cav with a reservation.
"As matter of fact, there is no
reason why good times should not be
here now," he declared. "You hear
no talk of dull times in Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, and Kansas. 1t is only out
here that one must listen to complain
ings."
January 1, 1916, when saloons will
close their doors in this state, is not
going to bring any business depres-
sion, in Mr.. McCaw's opinion.
"You ought to see Wichita, Kansas,
for an example of city, thriving
and content under prohibition" he
said. "I'll venture to say you'd find
not one per cent of the population
willing to see the saloons brought
back. In one respect wish Aberdeen
could be brought to emulating Wich-
ita. In that city every business con-
cern, store or factory, announces it's
business by means of attractive signs.
The traveller is impressed by the
sight and knows what live manufac-
ture is going on in every structure
he sees even as he whirls by in a
train -

LET ROAD JOBS
NEXT JANUARY
County Commissioners
Will Award Contracts
For Work
POWDER ADVANCES
European War Forces
Up Price Here $500
For Carload

Contracts will be let by the coun-
ty commissioners, early in January,
for some important road and bridge
work. Among these jobs will be the
bridge, across the Humptulips, clear
ing and grading of the C. D. Hanson
road and extension of the East Ho-
quiam road two miles to the Haysheds.
Preliminary work on these road pieces
is being done now.
Troubles over the Gustafson road
at South Arbor, it is hoped, will prove
to be settled with the acceptance of
a proposition made by William Silvo
to deed the county two blocks of
cleared land for $50.
The war in Europe is hitting the
cOunty's road work. The commission.
ers have received notice that an ad.
vance of $50 ton on powder has
been made. This means $500 more
on every lotion carload bought by
the county.
A hint was given at this week S
session of the commissioners that the
state is likely to sue the county for
$13, difference between Horticultural
Inspector r. L. Dalton's bill and the
amount to which the commissioners
pared his charge for spraying Mon
tesaDO orchard. recently
In Commissioner Locke's district
most of the work planned for next
year is the completion or extension
of old roads. He is figuring on let
ting contracts early in the spring fol-
extension Of the Westport road south
along the ocean, just inside the sand
dunes, and for completion and gray
cling of the Wynooche-Wi road
and of the G. F.. White road on the
south side of the river between Cos
mopolis and Melbourne.
