People seem to think that an
editor ought to know things by
intuition. When some relative
or friend from some other part
of the country is visiting a family
in this vicinity it is presumed the
editor will be informed by some
wireless or just grow into the in
formation. The same is true
concerning parties, lodge doings
and other social events. Then,
when the paper comes out and
no mention is made of these hap
penings, the editor is blamed for
not running a good newspaper or
not getting all the news. But
just remember, gentle reader,
that there are good many peo-
pie in this vicinity. If the editor
knew what each one was doing
each day, if he knew the chief
events in the lives of every indi-
vidual, besides their family his
tory, he wouldn't be an editor.
He'd be a demi-god, resting his
feet ON a cloud and slipping am
brosia instead of inhabiting a
country newspaper Office and
wondering where the money for
the next white paper bill is COM
ing from. We can't think of
everything, and can't call on
every individual in the commu-
nifty each week to gather news.
We're anxious for the news for
the paper, and it won't put you
out much to drop into the office
and tell us what's happening at
your house. Then if the item
doesn't appear in the paper you
have a right to come down and
kick the stuffing out of the-office
cat. Otherwise, don't blame US.

Stock Market Report.

Following is the report of the
Portland stock market for the
week Feb. 20.
Cattle-Yesterday's C a | e
trade had an excellent tone.
There was but a light supply with
a very good demand. Practically
all the coast packers were in the
market as we'll as the very good
butcher demand. The market
was active and sellers disposed of
everything in short order.
Beef steers-Beef steers that
sold from 900 to 9.25 last week
sold from 9.25 to $50 yesterday.
There was an excellent supply of
good killing steers on the market
from central Oregon points, de-
mand was keen and buyers had
to step lively to get in on the
moderate supply. Several loads
of prime hay steers shipped by
Geo. Russell brought $50 with
several others at $50. The bulk
of the best loads of beeves sold
from 9.25 to $40. Several loads
of good 900 to $50 feeding steers
brought 8.25 to $50.
Cows-Cows were a scarce ar
ticle yesterday all offerings being
in small punches. All good cows
easily brought 800 while medium
kinds brought from 100 to 7.50.
Ordinary dairy cows brought
from 600 to 6.75 with common
stuff at 500 and 800.
Bulls-The bull supply was
fairly good but did not fill the de-
mand and prices took another
jump of 25 cents to so cents.
One prime bull brought ZOO with
a number of sales from 5.75 to
6.75.
Hogs-Swine prices yesterday
were rather erratic. There was
a very good demand, but buyers
were not willing to pay the high
asking prices of sellers. Early
sales were the highest of the day.
Four loads of prime hogs brought
1890 while the late trade was
only on a 10 to Is cents higher
basis. The bulk of the good light
hogs selling from 1925 to 1926.
Pigs sold from HOO to lips.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1917
ADOPT COMPULSORY
ARBITRATION

Norway follows Australia, New
Zealand a nd other progressive
countries in adopting compulsory
arbitration and putting an end to
strikes and lockouts.
The first efforts to end indus
trial disputes by creating a body
of arbitrator on which both
sides are fairly represented was
started in 1914.
A labor convention was held
and threatened general strike
if such a law were enacted, and
did organize and carry on gen.
eral suspension of industries.
In 1916 existing agreements
between miners and mine opera
tors expired and 100000 miners
joined the strike aid produced a
national crisis that united parties.
The strike became an industrial
revolution and then parliament
passed an arbitration bill to save
the life of the nation from COM
plete dissolution.
The law applies to employees,
corporations and private en-
ployers, and imposes fines for
violations of from 5000 to 25,O0C
kroners.
A labor Congress was called to
oppose acceptance of the law but
after four days debate accepted
the terms of the act and every
body has gone to work.
This country will have no sta
bility and security in its indus.
trial affairs until it provides a
way to protect business against
strikes and lockouts.

THE SINEWS OF WAR
NfcAdoo and Gov,

Secretary McAdoo and Governments Money Experts Discuss Finances Extension of Credit to Allies.
 Washington, April 7.-Plans for financing the war were discussed to- day by Secretary McAdoo with mem bers of the house ways and means committee and with Chairman Sim mons of the senate finance committee.
 The $s.40o, ,ooo,0 900 already asked for the army and navy is expected to suffice, in addition to the regular ap- propriation bills until June 30, 1918.
 The step considered the most inn 1portant now Is the extension of an immense credit to the Entente allies. Bonds under such plan would be issued to take over bonds of the AL lies, making them in effect security for those obligations.
 Most of the money derived from such bonds it is expected will be spent in the United States,
 Details of that sort of a bond is- sue have not been worked out.
 On the question of taxation, con- gress leaders feel that the burden of the war should be about equally di- vided between taxation and bond is- sues.
 'The young men of the country" said Chairman Simmons, "are going to risk their lives in this war. and the wealthy who may not be able to risk theirs should contribute from their wealth.

 The churches unite in extending a special invitation to all to attend the church of their choice tomorrow. At the cooperating churches the themes which the ministers will treat will be the same. We not only would like to urge attendance on this day but would suggest that Easter become the beginning of a new interest in the things the church stands for. We are living in a day frought with uncer- tainty and big with possibilities and responsibilities. The president of our country has said it in, way that shall not soon be forgotten. The governor of our state has called atten- tion, in his Fast Day Proclamation, to the serious problems we confront and the responsibilities upon every citizen Of this land and in fact of the world, 50 heavily as to warrant . special re turn to that unseen source of power in whom our fathers trusted and to whom they went in the days of strife and peril.
