Door Industry for ~r,-
State Shows Gain
In Past 5 Years

Manufacture In Washington Increases
30 Per Cent In Period
Figures compiled by the forest SER
vice show a gain of eighty per cent.
during the past five years, in the vol
ume Of business developed by the sash
and door industry of the state Of
Washington.
According to the service compila-
tion, an unusual condition prevails in
Washington in regard to the manufac-
ture of sash and doors. In the first
place, many large sawmill operators
make sash and doors in connection
with the manufacture Of lumber. They
purchase their raw material in the
form of logs, usually Of high grade,
and thus get 1t much cheaper than the
manufacturer who does not run saw
mill. Then, too, the Washington man.
ufacturers have accomplished much in
the way of standardization of their
products.
Furthermore, veneered doors made
from such western woods as Douglas
fir, western yellow pine, western white
pine, Sitka spruce, and western red
cedar, present a choice of grain i'm
possible to obtain in solid lumber pan
els, and this variety Of effect has
done much to make the Washington
doors popular even in competition with
eastern made. goods. The Washing
ton product Is now shipped to Cali.
fornia, Utah, the Mississippi valley,
and foreign markets.
The report suggests that the linn
tied use of hemlock offers an excel
lent opportunity to develop greater use
of this western wood, for it's freedom
from pitch makes it superior to many
Of the more popular species for door
manufacture.

SALVATIONISTS
APPEALING FOR
FINANCIAL AID

On account of the generally de-
pressed business condition the last
two years, the Salvation Army has
gone behind with their expenses to
the amount of about $500. This may
not seem to be very great deficiency
for the average church, but for an or
ganization like the Army, which works
chiefly among the poor, and is sup,
ported largely by small contribution.
1t Is quite an item, This does not
include the deficiency for officers sat-
aries. Our officers cheerfully made
great sacrifices to maintain our work.
Mrs. Roe and myself have received
an average Of $5.52 per week during
our administration, out of which We
must live and clothe ourselves and our
two small children.
Our creditors have made us liberal
discounts and we can clear our corps
Of debt for about $3.50 II we can raise
that amount within the next few days.
The ladies' aid are arranging for Z
bazaar, or sale Of work within short
time and hope to raise money in that
way.
Anyone desiring to contribute to the
fund either in cash or something for
the sale Of work, can call 307 and
someone will call for your contribu-
tion. Phone before 9 a. m.
During the last four and one-half
months, since we came to the city
we have conducted 101 open air meet
ings, 1924 inside meetings and 21 junior
meetings. We have had IL converts.
mostly people who would never go to
church. We have given away free 116
garments, 80 pairs Of shoes. 20 meals,
two bedsteads, one mattress and cot
and other articles of furniture.

More Parable of the White Elephant


Now after that l had returned from
the White Elephant Sale, there were
certain days wherein feared Lest
Keturah should speak to me concern
ing it, and hoped that she would not.
For there was not much that | could
say; and while j love to hear her
laugh, still her Laughter concerning
the White Elephant Vase had been
Immoderate, and l heard Enough of
it. But she spake no more of it, for
she is Wise Woman, and when she
hath Laughed, she doth not Rub 1t In.
But | looked about the House,
where she had put it. And / found
it not, neither in the Pantry nor in
the Parlor; neither in the Attic nor in
the Ashcan. And / said, She hath
given it to the Salvation Army. But
she cared too much for the Salvation
Army to have done such thing.
Now there was a day when the APP
pie Blossoms were out, and the Trees
were Glorious with them. And Ke-
turah made Great Bouquet of them,
and placed it on the Dinner Table, and
it was a Mountain of Fragrant Beau
ty. And it came down on every side
so that it touched the Table. And |
praised her, for she had done Excel
lently.
And She liked it that / praised Her.
And on the Third Day she said, Be-
hold, the petals have fallen, and the
Bouquet is no longer Beautiful. Wilt
thou not carry it out, and Throw it
Away?
And | did even as she asked me.
And when l had thrown the stems
away, | looked at the Vase in my
hand, and it was even the White Ele-
plant.
And / was minded to take it, and
thrown it into the Lake. But she re-
strained me.
And she said unto me, Even though
the Vessel be unlovely, yet doth it
Hold Water, yea and Hold Flowers;
and can drape the Flowers that they
Cover the Vase, that only the Beauty
shall Appear.
And said, Oh, Keturah, thou art a
wonder; but why not cast it away, and
buy Vase that is Beautiful?
And she said, My lord, | have decid-
ed to keep it that it may be to us
Parable. For everyone hath his White
Elephant, and life bringeth to all men
and women much of which they fain
would be rid, yet which the Providence
of God permitteth them not to cast
wholly out of their lives. And when
they find that it is so, 10, there is
way, if they seek for it, whereby they
may Make the Best of it, Even so
have ! resolved to do with my White
Elephants.
And | mediated long. And / spake
saying, Keturah.
Aid she smiled and said, Say on, my
lord
And asked her, Am / one of thy
White Elephants
And she smiled yet more, and she
said, Whether thou art or not, no
Mark Down Sale shall have thee.

Road building is scientific prob
lem-not a haphazard job. We be-
lieve, however, that il census were
taken tomorrow. 80 per cent of the
people of this land would claim that
they were amply qualified to build a
road and edit newspaper Only a
small percentage get chance to try
their hands on the blue pencil propo-
sition, but a trip over almost any
country road will convince one that
most of the 80 have had a crack at
road building.
Little by little the public in gen
eral and the officials charged with the
responsibility of our highways are
learning, that road building requires
expert knowledge and experience.
That ridiculous, antiquated provision
for working out the road tax" which
has spoiled more roads than bonn
bardment from all the high-calibered
guns of the European armies, is grad
ually disappearing from our statute
books. Board of county commission
ers and township supervisors are Civ
ing the matter thoughtful attention
and improvement will undoubtedly be
rapid from now on. The federal gov
eminent is offering every assistance
to the forward movement. Object
lesson roads are constructed upon APP
plication of township or county au-
thorities to demonstrate proper meth
DDS of construction and proper use of
materials. The Office of
public roads and rural engineering of
the department of agriculture fur
nish all the material, labor and sup
plies. Experimental roads are also
constructed to determine the relative
merits and values of the various types
of road construction, and of the vari-
GUS preparations and materials for
use in road construction. In certain
instances the Office pays only por-
ton of the cost of these roads and the
balance is borne by the county in
which the road is located.
1t is too bad that we had to wait
for the wall of the stalled automo-
bilist to awaken us to the shameful
condition of our roads. A Scotch civil
engineer was imported as adviser in

the matter of building railway over
our great western plains. He investi-
gated very carefully and gravely re-
ported that the project was unfeas-
ible.s When pressed for his reason by
the astonished promoters of the enter
prise, he said: "You cannot build
line of railway over that country be-
cause there's no place to run your
tunnels" The designer" of most of
our country roads has been laboring

Concrete Roads Gain Favor
Investigations by the department of
agriculture have shown wonderful
increase in the popularity Of roads
with heavy concrete base. Such roads
are expensive to build, but are prov
ing, especially i'm sections like Cali
fornia, almost everlasting. The best
investment California has made has
been her good roads. There have
have been some mistakes; there have
been disappointments because of the
inability to cover all sections, but
there have been enough benefits Sc
cured from the good roads to amply
compensate for all they have cost.
