SNOWST0RM CAUSED
POWER LINE DAMAGE

Hood River was back to normal
Monday night. after the winter s
severest snowstorm. Crews were busy
all day repairing power and telephone
lines. The weight of clinging snow
broke down poles and caused the Paci-
fic Power & Light Co. damage of

system was put out of commission Sun

supplying the Upper Valley for fear
the electric wires might have become
entangled with telephone wires. The
storm put GOO local telephones out of
commission. The White River plant of
the power concern was burned out by
a short circuit and that city was sup
piled by the Northwestern company S
plant on the White Salmon river in
Khckitat county, Washington.
The snow reached So inches at Mt.

Right now there are a hundred MILAN rats
in the United States. They are eating food at
the rate of 5000, 900. 900 a year.
The guinea-pigs of Ellis Buffers story have
nothing on the brown rat when it comes to
fecundity. 1t is a good thing nobody tries to
ship a pair by express unless red tape has been
cut since the day that Mr.. Buffers characters
tried the experiment.
Anyway. the biological survey warns people
against the depreciation and the expense IN
Cured to the public by the common rat.
Rats are disease carriers. Typhus and bu-
bonic plague have been transmitted by them.
Cooperative efforts to stamp out the rat plague
are recommended by the survey, which also
emphasizes the use of barium carbonate as an
effective poison now easily obtainable.

CIVILIZATION DOOMED
By DIR. w. e. BARTON

down in battle. But it appears that
the book was finished in 1917, az
about the time when Germany was
at her best in the fight. So. what
ever the merits of the book, 1T may
not be swept aside as a special plea
developed out of Germany's defeat.
Prof. Ralph Barton Paine of Har.
yard says of it:
There is no major contention OF
TIE book that is proved by historical
data or straight thinking. 1t
in shrewd and telling comments on
the numerous and diverse historical
| events which it assemblies; but as
| regards fundamentals it's scholarship
is superficial, it's criticism hasty. and
its constructive principle fancifui
and obscure"
Civilization will last as long as It
| deserves to last, and not u long
err.
SO long as we keep it's sources
sweet and strong, we shall be pre-
served by our chaste home life, the
integrity Of our public spirit. and
the stability of Jul commercial hon.
or. When these fail, then as Kipling
has told us, All IL pomp OF yes
terday is one with Nineveh and
Tyre"
The answer to the question of the
longevity of civilization is n which
we civilized people must answer.
Neither Prof. Spengler o the an
cient Romans can determine that
fact. But Spengler's theory is worth
thinking about, and the danger well
worth guarding against.

THE FARM.

Beef cattle prices have fallen to less than
what they were before this country entered the
war. Hog prices are but a trifie higher than
in 1917. The average acre corn crop Is worth
less than in February, 1917. About the same
low level has been reached by every farm prod
uct.
There is no doubling the statement that the
farmer is on a pre-war price basis-as far as
selling goes. He still is buying fertilizer, ma
chinery, gasoline, and other necessities at prices
considerable higher than he paid In the early
months of 1917.
The American farmer cannot long continue
selling on a debated, and buying on an inflated
market. His selling prices must rise, or MS
buying prices must drop. He isn't a philanthropic
institution; he isn't even in the privileged
creditor class. But he does stand between the
city worker and starvation.

A. The poem Of Thomas Moore.
Loves Young Dream. contains
this sentence.
O. What is the origin of the word

and flows southwest emptying into
the Gulf of Mexico. IL miles north

A. Tea roses derive their name
from their odor. which resembles
that of tea. They are descended
from a variety of China roses, a
race of numerous and increasing va
rieties which are widely cultivated.
O.. How long has salt been used?
S. I. NJ.
A. Salt is mentioned In the Bible
and was one of the chief articles OF
trade carried by early caravans that
crossed the deserts and wild coun-
tries of the ancient world. In Rome
a certain street was named the Sal
erian Way because the salt dealers
lived there. The Romans WORKED
the salt mines OF England at the
time of the invasion. Venice mad

p~ortance.
O.. When we're postage stamps
first used? Could you tell me n
interesting facts about them?
A. Rowland Hill is regarded as
the originator of postage stamps. He
brought the adhesive stamp under
the notice Of the Commissioner Of
| the Postoffce in London on the 1Sth
Of February, 1897. The stamps
were appointed to be brought int
use on the 9Th day Of May, 1870
They were first water-marked ir

adopted in the United States in 1S47.
