Thus, while the opening of Ger many's ports means the flow to her of a thousand and one badly needed things, amber shortage is an entente need that can only be filled by her.
 Long before the historic age, the natives upon the Prussian shores Of the Baltic gathered from its water in quantity prized amber bits and always have traded with these bits in the worlds markets. Ancient Greece an1 Rome trafficked in this North Sea product Amber fragments passed from merchant to merchant in those old times to the furthest parts of Asia. Koenigsburg is the center of this | trade. The amber itself is found mostly on the Baltic coast stretch between Koenigsburg and Memel. Amber has been discovered elsewhere in the world, along Greenland's coasts, in London gravels and other places in small quantities.
 | It was piece of Baltic amber that | Thales of Melitus used to make the | first electrical experiments, when he discovered that amber well rubbed
 would attract light bits of cloth. Am
 Der was a currency of high value in those days and is still prized highly enough to be large and important in | duStry.

House Building Absolutely Necessary

 E More people are buying residences that now are rented to other people. Many of these purchasers are new corners and the result is that the tenants are having to give up the house and with no place to go. It is a fact that there are salesmen in stores in Mesa who will simply have to give up their positions and leave unless some way is provided whereby they may be housed. These salesmen represent some of the sturdy best citizens of the town with most estimable families, and not only this but they represent also only one class, whereas a similar scarcity of dwelling places is affecting other vacations.
 Two Mesa men with a view to re- lieving this condition, are figuring on the immediate erection of from twenty to thirty dwellings, and while their plans are only tentative, and nothing has been said publicly, one of these men stated yesterday that they all ready had applications from first class tenants for more houses than it was in- tended to erect.
 There is some talk of a building and loan association being formed by local men, and that it possibly will be in operation by January l. Meanwhile the town daily is losing valuable citi- zens and has absolutely no chance to secure an increase in population through incoming residents, unless these same new corners build their homes before trying to settle in Mesa

 Down around Cottage Grove, Oregon. the old timers are now discussing what they remember of the Calapooia Indian tribe. The last specimen of the tribe, Sam Fern, went to the happy hunting grounds a few years ago and the peo- pie at Cottage Grove are wondering what will become of the land which the Calapooia tribe was using. Some of it is exceptionally fertile land. The tribe took it's name from the range of mountains in that vicinity, or vice versa, and the Calapooias were always a peaceful band. This tribe went through the great fire which swept the coast range about century ago, when the only way the Indians could save themselves was to remain in the rivers for several days. The fire was so intense that the water became warm. Calapooia Indians declared that the wild animals also fled to the river ard wolves and deer padded around to- Eetlzer ia perfect harmony.
