SPRUCE PRODUCTION
NOW ABANDONED
VAST EQUIPMENT WILL BE SOLD
BY SEALED BIDS AT PORT
LAND IN FEBRUARY

Probably the only organization in
the United States private. or public
which has ever developed from moth
ing to its present status is the United
States Spruce Production corporation
which, within little more than year,
was built up to concern with equip
ment valued at $1O,O0O,0OO.
With Portland as his headquarters,
Brigadier-G General Brice P. Disque, it's
commanding officer, and his staff, de-
veloped the corporation into one of
the most remarkable arms of defense
in the whole war machine. In adj
dition to its material equipment, the
organization controlled more than
10000 men.
And now that the war is over, all
of the equipment, consisting of every
thing necessary to the operation of
logging camp, railroad, or sawmill, is
to be sold. Bids are being received
at headquarters in the Yeon building,
Portland, and will be received up to
and including February Is.
Material and equipment, much of it
never having been used because of
the sudden termination of the war, is
in storage at the corporations big
cut-up mill in Vancouver, Wash, and
may be inspected by those interested
upon proper cerIlIlcaClOn from Cne
headquarters office.
In the conduct of the Spruce Pro-
duction corporation nothing was ne
elected that would add efficiency to
the undertaking. All of the equip
ment for the operations throughout
the entire northwest was of the best
type and all construction work was
done in the most thorough manner
to accomplish the end in view and is
all applicable to commercial uses.
Because Of this and the further fact I
that at all times the commanding |
officer insisted upon the best of care
being taken of all the material and
equipment, it is now in splendid con-
1ition.
Indications point to lively bidding
IN the equipment, as already num-
oers of proposals have been received

Department of Justice VIII Do
the Work.

After all has been said and
done in Congress as to whatever
action is taken in regard to the
Presidents recommendations as
to stopping the vicious prac-
tees" largely responsible for the
high cost of living, it will be the
Department of Justice that will
have the burden placed upon it
of putting and keeping the ma
chinery in motion to accomplish
the real results. For some time
the Acknowledgement has had
the entire secret service of the
bureau at work assisting other
forces now collecting evidence of
gouging by illegal control of
prices, the investigation Of the
reds and the bomb outrages tax
ing second place. But now things
are to go at a faster speed than
ever and orders have been given
to hurry the food investigation
so that when the proper legisla-
ton is enacted there will not be
a moments s delay in having what
ever teeth" there may be in
the measure to begin biting in
such snappy way that profit
eers will be running for cover
and giving up the ghost.

Consumer Is The Victim.

There can be no approach to
normal conditions in this country
until the treaty of peace is out of
the way and the work of liquidat-
ing the war has become the chief
concern Of Government as we'll as
of the victims of the existing sit
uation. Business of all kinds is
largely speculated because Of in
definiteness and uncertainty, and
gambling has to be paid for by
somebody. nthis case it is paid
for by the consumer, who must
take care Of both gains and
losses. ="
Let the Senate ratify the treaty
and approve the covenant of the
League Of Nations. That act
alone will stabilize the world. 1t
will turn the peoples thoughts
from war. 1t will restore the
psychology of peace. ,Ratify the
treaty. N. Y. World.

Henry Ford Not An Anarchist

It is agreed by all writer's that
Henry Ford is a good American
citizen who has contributed i'm
mensely to the success of his
country in it's days of peace and
placing his personal hatred of
war subservient to his patriotism
in those days when we were
forced to use armed might to
combat the Wrong and to regain
peace.
A jury of his peers has wiped
away the Chicago Tribune's
stigmatization of Mr.. Ford as an
Anarchist. Of course, he never
was an Anarchist and no one
ever really believed him to be an
Anarchist. The offending news
paper has been duly found guilty
and punished.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The government success in
fighting the pro6teers has at
last resulted in determina-
ton to open retail stores in
various parts of the country
Like regional banks created
to meet runs" on any one or
two financial ms itutions, so
the government will now take
care of high prices by pre-
venting storage and commits
sion men from boarding at
one locality and creating a
scarcity of commodities some
where else.

HOPE He CHOKES.

The addlepated Adonis who
elongates the news columns
Of the Phoenix Republican,
ought to have the cash in his
face changed to the top Of his
noodle, so what he lacks in
brains could be filled up with
chop suey. His mention of
the late strike at the Abe
Lincoln contained an adroit
Interpolation saying it was a
vein 90 feet wide" He I'm
doubtedly intended it as a
compliment after the style of
the society reporter who said
a certain young lady was very
shapely except for her feet.
If this little swat don't close
him up to make "the retort
courteous" we hope he will
wear himself into a delirium
and wind up on a 2x6 dump
ing galley Of discards down
in the Republicans labyrin-
THAN press room.

upon the teachers. Some teachers and lay
and have Ie children study the lessons By themselves
The best way teach child anything is to study II WITH
them Some children they will rot ike school
If the teacher is kind and tries be friendly the child
Will be willing 20 to school without urging.
There is one thing which will bring children TO
school For instance, large playground There should
be shade trees, benches and swings. A tennis
would be nice, too. If there such things these
is great help to the teacher because the children
brighter after they have rest The period should
be fifteen minutes The children go to then

ECONOMY" is to be the watchword
of the present congress, if the republi-
can leader, Mondell, is to be taken
seriously. He proposes to cut the five
billion dollar budget to four billions.
Most of US would like to believe that
it is possible to exercise economy in
public affairs, but we have become ac-
customed not to. By this time most
people are economic unbelievers, if we
are to Judge by their manner of per
sonal economy But, if congress really
should prove the possibility of economy
in national affairs. it might restore the
faith in the breasts Of some of as.
What is Mr.. Mondell driving at, any
way? Does he mean that less is to be
wasted of public funds; or, does he
mean that the nation must get along
with less? 1t would seem perfectly
feasible that the nation could pull
through year without wasting 20 per
cent of its income. Still it is hard to
believe that, after our experiences of
the last few years.

THE unifcation of rail and water
transportation is proposed by through
bill of lading from inland shipping
points to foreign ports. The plan con-
templates that the railroads be fur
nished by steamship companies, at reg
ular intervals, with rate schedules
guaranteed for period of 80 days.
These rates would be furnished ship
pers by the railroads on application to
the station agent, together with the
date of embarkation and name of ship,
and bill of lading issued for shipment
through the seaport desired by the
shipper to any part of the world. This
is of vital Importance to small inland
manufacturers and produce men who
have formerly been and now are prac-
tically cut off from all export business,
and would also tend to distribute our
export business more evenly among
the various seaports.

ers and when he was about 10 years of
age his parents came to Wisconsin,
first settling on farm near Walworth.
About the year 1853 they bought a
farm one mile south of Milton. The
large family of children here grew to
maturity, and William, when of age,
returned to New York state and learn
ed the cabinetmaking trade in furni-,
ture factory at Unadilla Forks. He
was married in 1867 to Anna Gates
and with his bride came to Milton and
engaged in farming for one year. In
1868 he came to Edgerton and opened a
furniture store and was in that BUSH
ness continuously for AZ years. For
the first rs years of this time he was
the only undertaken in this community

Cows on Wisconsin dairy farms have
made twelve worlds records for yearly
production of butter, says S. D. Bull
lock, fieldman for the Wisconsin Live
stock Breeders association and the
College of Agriculture, who has recent
ly compiled list of dairy records in
the state The most recent is the
achievement of Walcowis Ollie Mooie,
junior two year old owned by N. Dick
inson of Walworth county. This cows
production is 1010.7 pounds of butter a
year. This record, made in 1918, still
stands.
