elusive of decoration and paint
ing, of $7S5, We're accepted and

LUMBER COMPANY
BUYS SPRUCE ROAD

Portland, Or-The Multnomah Box
and Lumber company Of Portland has
purchased from the United States
spruce corporation, for price of $780,
900 the Yaquina Northern railroad ex.
tending from connection with the
Southern Pacific line at Yaquina, in
Lincoln county, through the city OF
Newport to Agate beach.
The line was built by the govern
ment during the war to tap a large
tract Of highgrade spruce in the ST.
letz reservation and it is one of the
finest pieces of railroad Of standard
equipment in the west.
Cost to the spruce division of the
United States army in building the
line was $l,271, 506 and the spruce
forest it enters is declared to be the
largest remaining in the United States
and aggregates from 3,000,00O,000 to
5,000,O00,000 feet, board measure.
At the present time it is said 1t

HOP GROWERS PROTEST
Ask |. c. c. to Establish bloodhound
Carload Minimum.

Salem, Or.-Charging discrimination
on the part of the railroads in favor
Of California hop growers and against
Oregon and Washington growers, the
public service commission forwarded
a telegram to the interstate COM
merce commission requesting that the
15,000-pound carload minimum be es-
tablished for Oregon and Washington
The minimum for these two states is
now $4,000 pounds, while California
enjoys 15OoO.pound minimum. This
means that the Oregon and Washing
ton shippers must pay freight on an
1S,000-pound basis.
The Oregon and Washington grow
ers have resented the situation and
have placed their case before the serv-
ice commission in emphatic terms.

POLO PLAYED FOR CENTURIES
lstence for Mere Than Two
Thousand Years.

During Its existence of more than
two thousand years there have been
twelve varieties Of the game of polo.
The earliest form known was print
tive, consisting Of feats Of horseman-
ship and skill. The early Persian form
described in Shamana was highly
organized game with rules, played by
four on each side. In Persia, in the
Sixteenth century, the grounds were
800 by 40 yards and the play resem-
bled the rough football of the same
period in England This game became
more highly organized in the next
century.
The Byzantine form played at Con-
stantinople in the Twelfth century
used a leather ball the size of an apple
and racquet. The Chinese game, in
vogue about 600 A. D., was played
with light wooden ball. The Jap
anese form, popular in feudal times,
still survives under the name of dakin
or ball match.
In an ancient Indian variety the
sides are ranged up on opposite ends
Of the grounds and the ball Is thrown
In. This Is probably the form Of the
game which reached India from Persia
and Is represented today by Manipur
and Gilgit polo, though these forms are
rougher than the old Indian game.

neALLY GENIAL OLD FRAUD
South Sea Native Proud Of Useless
knowledge Of English and Equally
Useless Fountain Pen.

Huarai, the native constable of a
lonely South Sea atoll was the only
one who made any heavy social de-
mands upon me. He had once made
journey from Papeete to San Francis
co as stoker on one of the mail
boats, and was immensely proud Of
the few English phrases which he had
picked up during the voyage.
He didn't know the meaning of
them, but that made no difference. He
could put on side before the others,
make them believe that he was carry
Ing on an intelligent conversation.
"What's the matter?" "Oh, yes"
Never mind,' were among his favor
lite pressions-unusually mild ones,
It seemed to me, for one who had
been associated with gang Of cock
ney stokers-and he brought them
out apropos Of nothing.
He was an eXasperating old hypo-
critic, but Il genial one, and I couldn't
help replying to some of his feints at
conversation. Once out of curiosity,
wondering what his reply would be,
said, "Huarai, you're the worst old
four,tlusher in the seventy-two islands,
aren't you" He smiled and nodded,
and came back with the most telling
of all his phrases, you go to HI,
mew On that occasion it was de-
livered with what seemed something
more than mere parrotlile aptness Of
reply.
Clipped to his undershirt he wore
a fountain pen, which was as much
part of his costume on these dress
occasions rs his dungaree trousers
and pandanus hat 1t had a broken
point, was always dry, and Huarai
could hardly write his own name.
No matter. He would no more have
forgotten his pen than French SOL
der his croiX de guerre.-James Nor

Love of Home
Decreasing?
BY LORETTO c. LYNCH.

.
as the love of home declining
in America?' This is a question
about which people have been writ
ing me letters.
Taken collectively, believe the
love of the home to be as great a.
ever. But in the larger cities, where
folks are living under artificial con.
ditions and the high cost of living
IS felt keenly, the love OF home or the
expression OF that love i'll the form ol
concrete home has been much sup
pressed.
Haven't you met the utra-mani-
cured seemingly mature woman OF
40 who visits the little suburbanite
who has raised two or three nice chill
oren and, perhaps, just paid the last
installment on the dearest little home
one can imagine.
Perhaps, in expectation of Mrs.
Visitor, you have spent all day Sat
urday putting that home in order.
And after she has eaten three man
sized helpiugs of home-raised chick
ell, fried to turn, dozen creamy
biscuits, and had a second helping of
home grown strawberry shortcake,
haven't you heard her say, my
dear, it is splendid but, do you
know, could never be bothered
with home--it's all such bother.
John and I just have a room and
we dine here and there"
Yet, | honestly believe that in her
heart OF hearts the woman does not
say what she really means. Her
homing instinct has been prevented
Perhaps, long ago, when she started
out, she and John planned the little
home just as enthusiastically as
sweethearts everywhere are planning
now.
And perhaps they started What
happened? | don't know. But were
you to ask me to guess, I'd say,
that as the housing proposition grew
more serious, as rent rose out of all
proportion to the income, they were
forced to have fewer rooms. And
this crowding process continued un-
til they were down to one room. Her
interest was waning. Were she a
strong character-but she just
wasn't. and in the pushing about she
lost the desire to establish a real
home when the income rose far
above the needs.
In the little suburban home Mrs. |
Visitor saw the real joys of crea-
t;on-enticing food from mother
Earth - establishing, creating a
home. And when she belittled the
other woman's effort-do you think
she honestly meant to do so' Or
was she, perhaps, so immature
mentally that she still enjoyed youth
full nomadic rovings after elusive
happiness, not realizing that real
happiness centres around the heart
stone with all its shortcomings?
Is the love of home declining?
What do you think?
