Here's the Fate Of One Industry,

7ere's ene Fate OF one Industry.
To show how the Democratic tariff
law nearly annihilated the single in
= dustry in the Pacific Northwest. the
Oregon Voter says:
THE Payne-Aldrich tariff Of 50
cents per thousand held imports Of
Canadian shingles to Puget Sound
down to 100000 in 1911 and 49,
100000 in 1912. The Underwood tariff,
adopted in 1913, admitted shingles
duty free. In 1914 imports grew to
333,000,000. This Is an increase Of 500
per cent. In December. 1914. imports
were 100000 just 100000 more in
one month than in the whole year of
1912.
''The number Of mills operating In
Washington has decreased from $50,
using 1900 machines, to 272, using
1909 machines. This does not tell the
entire story, as many Of the 27s mills
operating are on the verge Of failure.

At the time the lumber schedule was
up for debate on the floor Of the

able testimony that tho following
rates prevailed in the production Of

]. H. Bloedel. one Of the foremost
millmen in the state Of Washington.
who also owns mills In British Co.
lumbia, testified that the labor cost in
British Columbia was rs cents thou
sand, and in Washington IS cents per
thousand. Before the passage Of tn-.
underwood law the industry employed
about $4,000 men and paid nearly
$15,000,000 in wages in Washington
alone.
Recently representatives Of the lum-
Der industry appeared before the Fed
eral Trade Commission, which Is
studying the cost Of production. At
the Chicago hearing these lumbermen
pointed out to the commission the ef-
feet of the Underwood law in paralyz-
ing an industry in which $4,000 saw
and single mills were engaged, en-
ploying 100000 laboring men, with .
product Of $4,000. 900. half Of which is
paid out as wages The commission
looked wise and said nothing.
Forty minutes debate was given to
the Republicans on this great sched-

More raids by deputy sheriffs. New
evidences of the conspiracy of Sheriff
Davis and his deputies to enable the law
breakers they favor to monopoilze the
rum business To whose profit is the
conspiracy, and on what percentages is
the profit distributed?
1t it too early to suggest that before
the voting begins in next years elections
evidence may be available that will make
il impossible for some politicians to con-
tinue their activity. The situation. as 1t
is apparent. now, ought to make it inn
possible for Sheriff Davis to ever again
ask the people to elect him to any ONCE.
And isn't there behind Davis some
body bigger than Davis?

might "be expected" if Democracy
should win in the last election. We
were frankly told so by candidates.
They were elected and we are seeing
the results. There is no pretense in
Lewiston. as We understand it from the
papers published there, of an attempt
to enforce the law. The city govern
ment frankly declares that the sheriff
and his men have permitted condi-
tons that are too rank for them, and
they announce that one day in the
week is to be made somewhere near
respectable.
We know nothing of the alleged fav-
oritism among the law violators by
the sheriffs force, but our ex-
change fatty charges conspiracy, and
urges decent Democrats to see to it
that the party is defeated in the next
election.
When an Independent paper of Dem
ocratic origin and leanings demands
that it's party be defeated because Of
its rottenness. it is time for respecta-
bic voters of all parties to consider
the seriousness Of the problem.

Newton Newkirk Of the Boston
Post has been outdone by one of our
young mechanics, says Around the
Union" column in Calais Advertiser.
Mr.. Newkirk invented post hole
which was portable. All you had to
do was to buy one Of these portable
post holes and stick your pole into it,
and there you was, no digging. no
swearing, no nothing. But our young
man has gone one better. His post
hole sticks right up in the air to any
desired height, and if used for a tele-
phone or electric light pole, an iron
cap is provided to slip on the top to
which wires can be attached. Truly
this is an age Of invention. A few
years ago if man walking along the
street saw a hole sticking up In the
air 20 or 80 feet he would have been
surprised, but today we amt sur
prised at nothing. The inventor says
there is no danger of an action being
taken against him for infringement.

post holes patented in Canada.

vice. The honor fen to a biplane with a pilot designated by permission of the censor as Monsieur $, with Monsieur H.*. *....*, as observer Four other machines with their crews were ready to follow in case the first should not come back.
 The second volunteer was about to take the air when a speck appeared in the distance, rapidly growing larger but wabbling like a wounded bird struggling to maintain its equilibrium. Suddenly it slipped down rapidly some hundreds of yards The wait ing pilots watched with blanched faces until the machine righted itself; it was still descending very rapidly and the Allies lines were still a thousand yards away.
 Its all up with her., said one pilot, she'll land inside their lines" The biplane then made a, sudden lurch up- ward hundred yards, then came down again more precipitately than before. It was this last desperate at tempt that lifted her over the lines; she landed just behind the Allies trenches. The Germans opened @ hot fire but a sharp attack by the French drove them out of their first line of trenches and the biplane was hauled back into safety with it's great secret.
 Flying at height of 2,2O0 yards the biplane had gone about 12 miles be- hind the German lines. There the observer saw some new earthworks and at the same moment a storm of shrapnel burst around the machine; i; a shell carried away part of the tail and tore a large hole in the lower plane. The observer, however, had time to locate a deep ditch roofed over with concrete from which peeped the gaping mouth of the big gun that was sending half-ton shells into Dunkrfk.
 The aviator was bleeding profusely from wound in the stomach -Iybap he landed but he had the energy to make a clear comprehensive report. He said ''I am satisfied" and then died.
 A few hours later the French artil- lery had located the German gun and were reducing it's concrete armor.
