BOWLBY is RETAINED
TO FINISH WORK

IL was announced last week that Ma
Jor Bowlby would be retained until
Columbia highway work in Hood River
ana Columbia counties could be COM
| pleted. The $50, 600 task around Mitch
el! FONT. Just west Of this city. will be
begun at once. The plans and specifi-
cations for the work have been drawn
and advertisements for bids will be
made this week.
At meeting held in Rainier last
thursday citizens expressed their opin-
ion that Major Bowlby should be re-
talned until after contracts in that
county were completed.
Commenting on the retention of Ma
Jor BOwlby the Portland journal says:
The state highway commlssion'is to
be commended for its determination to
retain the services of State Highway
Engineer Bowlby at least until pending
work in Columbia and Hood River
counties is completed.
The retirement of Major Bowlby was
determined upon by the governor and
state treasurer over the opposing vote
of Secretary UlcOtt, and the change of
plan is reassuring to those who are
paying out.money for construction of
large enterprises in road work. Both
the governor and the state treasurer
are entitled to credit for retracting
their steps in this important matter.
When the attacks were made on Ma
jor BOwlby, the true reasons for most
of them were not well understood. The
ways and means s.. committee gave a
hearing to his opponents but denied
such hearing to..'his friends. q. 1t was
an extraordinary proceeding, and in
itself, to considerable extent reveals
the unfair character Of the attacks
made on the highway engineer.
Major Bowlby Ought'not to leave the
state employ under a cloud. Sacrifice
of a public official for an honest per-
formance of duty is a tragedy. Instead
of sacrifice, there ought to be high re-
ward for public men who chart their
course by conscience.
The change of attitude by the men,
bers of the highway commission is
splendid putiic act.

afternoon when he was dragged up
Oak street by runaway team.

their heads. made a grab for the
reins, but was jerked from his feet.
He fell and the team and wagon passed
over him. The breath seemed knocked
from him. and one of his hands was
badly bruised. However, after having
the latter bandaged, he mounted his
drivers seat and piloted his team to
the country.
The runaway team, after narrowly
missing pedestrians and collision with
other vehicles, was finally brought to a
standstill when one Of the animals fell.

A Hero

He is not the kind of hero
That fiourisehd in the past,
But having been discovered
May his fame forever last.
He never stormed at castles
To rescue maidens fair,
With lily-rose compilations
And wavy, golden hair.
He didn't catch the pirate
When other men had failed,
He didn't capture Robert,
(Another Kidd that "sailed. ")
He never rode charger
Upon a battlefield,
Nor his the suit of armor
And protection of a shield.
Yet he calmly faced derision--
All the scorn that men can fling
For he wrote a little poem
And dared to call it Spring"

HOME TOWN BUILDING
How to Turn the Trade Of the Outlying
Districts Toward the Stores of the
Local Merchants

The shares were then increased, 9
small warehouse secured, and a
special buyer was employed, after
which the government purchasing
department was not made use of
1t was not long before relatives and
friends of the government employees
were indirectly buying their house
hold supplies through the coopera-
tive store. Then the plan was ex-
tended. so that the general public
might become holders of shares or
parts of shares. One share may be
divided up among not less than
fifty people. Each of these deci-
NAL parts of shares participate in
very excellent dividends, which
are paid quarterly. The selling
business of the association is con-
fined exclusively to the share
holders. The only reason why
this plan has been continued to
the present time, is that it is part
of the English habit to stick to
traditional methods. That is
where the mail order catalogue
plan of doing business originated.
The Chicago man who started
the first mail order house in
the United States was not pioneer
except in the changes made in the
selling plan.
It is true that the mail order
houses of the big cities have
monopolized the bulk of the busi-
ness of the rural districts, but they
have made themselves very popular
with the farmers of the country
and many people look upon them
as a blessing. The plan of doing
business has come to stay. 1t is
the common sense method and it
will continue to get the orders.
The big catalogues are instructive
and interesting. There are few
magazines which are more so.
l take the same interest in news
paper advertisements if prices are
quoted, otherwise they are blank
to me.
Everybody is interested in goods
for home wants that are advertised
in the newspapers, but only when
the price and description are at
tached. Such an advertisement in
any home town paper will get re-
suits that will astonish you. 1
think and 1 often wonder why
storekeepers don't use that plan.

Under the above heading an ex-
change gives the following good
advice: If you meet a man who is
down in the mouth, who thinks
that his town is all wrong, just
take him aside or give him a ride
and hand him this quaint little
song: There are fancier towns
than our little town, there are
towns that are bigger than this,
and the people who live in the
timer towns all city excitement will
miss. There are things you can
see in a wealthier town that you
can't in the town that is small;
and yet up and down there is no
other town like our own little
town after all. 1t may be that the
street through the heart of our
town isn't long, isn't wide, ism t
straight, but the neighbors you
know in Our little town with a
welcome your coming will wait.
In the glittering streets of the
glittering town with its palace and
pavement and thrall; in the midst
of the throng you'll frequently
long for our own little town after
all. If you live and work and
trade in our town, in spite of the
fact that it's small, you II find that
the town-our own little town
is the best kind of a town after all.

| In my previous letter, l promis-
ed to say something about the bust.
ness of the mail order catalogue
houses, as it is looked at from the
farmers viewpoint.
In the first place, the mail order
business is here to stay, simply for
the reason that it is popular and is
looked upon as blessing by the
farmers of the country. 1t is
based upon a principle of barter
and exchange, which always has
and always will get the business.
The big we'll illustrated catalogue
has become the family guide book
in many of the rural districts of the
United States and of England as
we'll.
Not many people know that the
mail order plan of selling goods
originated in England, but that is
a fact. Upward of sixty-fve years
ago, few of the employees of the
Government in London pooled a
few dollars, placed the amount in
the hands of the Purchasing Agent
of the Navy Department, with the
consent of the Secretary o. the
Navy, and from the purchase of
household supplies for these few
clerks developed the great CO.
operative mail order business of
the Naval Junior Stores of London.
The founder of the first mail
order business in America simply
copied the plan of the English
Navy department clerks. and elm
mating the shareholder feature,
which is part of the original, as
we'll as of the present Naval Junior
stores method.
When the first order was passed
by the Secretary of the English
navy, granting the privilege of
making use of the facilities of the
Purchasing Department, it was
that the goods so pur-
chased luust be for the exclusive
use of the department employees
only. This resulted in a share
holders association, which was
limited to the clerks in the Navy
Department, as long as the buyer
in that department was made use
of, but the advantages of the plan
were quickly realized and the en-
ployes of all the other departments
of the Government clamored for
the privilege of participating in it.
