Strong for Organization
II believe in organization, no busi-
ness or enterprise can long endure un~
less organization is the basis for its
foundation. Accordingly organization
has furnished the motive for the ac-
tivities which have marked the pro-
gresS of the Chamber the past year.
Your executives have proceeded with
this end in view. believing that il
properly organized our Chamber would
be equipped by means OF its member

resent. properly finance its obligations,
maintain its social program, and dcvel-
on the many opportunities which are
ever present.
Il also have Il strong notion that Il
paid secretary would simplify matters
materially. and be the means OF a much
needed addition to the Chamber, Yet

TROOP ENJOYS
BANQUET, MUSIC
After-Dinner Speeches By Off
GERS and Non-COmS. Are
Snappy

The esprit dc corps of the local
troop registered one hundred per cent
at the banquet which was served at
the armory Monday night. Although
the serving was directly in charge OF
VIM. Jung. the Bucks" took great de.
light in watching the staff, from the
skipper down, do X. T.
Owing to the piano at the armory
being in bad humor it was impossible
to have an orchestra to furnish vol
stead high balls for the occasion. but
George Luell, who knew OF the troop
plans, regarding the purchase OF 4
phonOgraph. took the opportunity IL
give them Il demonstration OF Il now
Brunswick machine. So thanks to
Georges business foresight the troop
did not lack for music. We hope 10
announce soon that a Brunswick has
been installed in the armOry.
The speeches were also we'll received,
being short, snappy and to the point.
All officers and non-cOm. officers re-
sponded to the call from the head OF
the table with one exception. and the
new first lieutenant explained that all
the backward non-com could say was
"Gidap" and whoa.
1t has been decided that the feeds
will be held the first Monday in each
month. during the winter.

Water for Municipal and Domestic
Use
Probably no other factor for main
tanning the health of a city or COM
munity is greater than its water sup
ply. In some parts of the country it
is necessary to expend large sums of
money for construction of filtration
and publication plants to make the
water fit for human consumption. Our
state waters for this use are free
from pollution owing to the source
being in the high mountain regions
where it cannot become contaminated
by human inhabitants. The supply is
abundant and the rapid fall of the
streams offers ideal conditions for de-
livering large quantities of water I'M
der high pressure at the least cost.
For this reason in few instances in
this state is it. necessary to operate
and maintain pumping plants to sup
ply the needs of the cities and towns.

Mrs. Lulu M. Johnson, of White
Bluffs, Washington.
An Invitation.
Oh, then come with me
To the sage brush plains
Where the wild winds sweep
And it seldom rains.
Where the coyotes howl 5.
AS they nightly prowl,
And the jack-rabbits bound -
At the slightest sound, ,
Oh, the world is free!
Won't you come with me?
We will follow the "honk"
Of the geese as they fly
To the Horse Heaven hills -@r.
Where the wheat fields lie,
Where the water is hauled
For miles in. tank
By four-horse team
That are lean and lank,
Yet life is free!
Won't you come with me?
We will go to the oil wells
That send out gas,
If the "rattlers" will let
Our autos pass,
Or, as you have often expressed a
wish
We will go to the river
And catch some fish.
We may get bite
From salmon or smelt
Or the biggest mosquito
You have ever felt.
Yes, we are free!
Won't you come with mo?

same ratio holds for practically all OF
the years of the war. Since Europe
began clamoring for shells and ships
the railroads in this country have not
been able to get steel for improve
ments and extensions and the work
they must do during the next few
years will call for immense invest
ments in materials. @
Since the war started millions of
dollars of American securities former
ly held in Europe have been purchased
in this country and the interest and
dividends are now held here instead of
going overseas. And also, since the
war started this country has adopted
prohibition, turning large sums of
money into the channels of regular
business enterprise.
One of the basic industries of this
state has reached period Of readjust-
ment where it can be safely said to be
on rock bottom and ready to do BUSH
ness-that is the lumber industry.
Last year lumber went sky high, now
it is back on safe margin for both the
producer and the consumer. The re-
tail prices of lumber in Seattle today
are s21.5O thousand for number one
rough lumber; $66 to 500 for number
one flooring; 500 for number two and
$50 for number three; $66 for number
two and better finish lumber; $3.50 a
thousand for lath and $3.75 for shin
giles. On those prices with hardware
and paints cheaper, building is bound
to begin, and the mills also to begin
filling foreign orders.
Supplies of goods laid in during the
year of spending just passed cannot
last forever. The regular purchaser
the public-understanding that he
can again go into the market and get
value received for his dollar must
have the necessities Of life. The war
spree is over, business is back on
normal plane.

One year ago the business OF this
country was on the wrong road, to-
day it is on the right road. That is
the concensus of opinion of the lead
ing financiers of this nation. A year
ago the general tendency was toward
initiation. Today business is steadier
and is rapidly being stabilized on a
sound basis. A year ago the people of
this country were on a spending orgy
causing business initiation which was
leading rapidly toward panic. To-
day that condition has passed and in
stead of a panic business is expert
encing sane readjustment.
This period Of readjustment IS not
without it's sacrifices and those sacri-
fees are necessarily painful, but to
every legitimate business they are a
part of the days work and are absorb
ed as part of the process of getting
back to normal conditions. 1t is to
the man who has entered business on
q Ilc pSIiOu VI eiiS
boom that the readjustment spells
ruin; the merchant who has bought a
stock of goods on credit and rising
prices and who has not made any pro-
vision for falling prices; the farmer
who has gone onto the land in period
of abnormal food prices and is look
ing for chance to pay for his acre
age, buildings and machinery from his
excessive returns and cannot tide over
a period Of lower prices; the working
man who has spent his savings as he
earned them instead of profiting by
experiences Of past slow times and
putting portion of his earnings into
a savings account.
There are certain points in the in
dustrial situation which stand out as
beacon lights in future business. Dur
ing the past year million couples
were married in this country and dur
ing the same period there were not
more than 10000 homes built. That
