The above corporation has purchaser
an eight acre site in Kenton district,
Portland, and is making preparation
to begin the construction there of q
modern, freproof tire manufacturing
plant some time this month, and ex-
pect to have it completed and in opera
tion by next spring.
The men forming this organization
are young, energetic, and have had
years Of experience with the best tire

as shown by letters from executives of
these factories, they have contributed
materially toward the perfection of
plant organization sand equipment for
economic manufacture of tires.
Cumberland, Md, a city of some
thing over 10000 inhabitants, secured
the new Kelly-Springfeld tire factory,
which commenced operations there
some six months ago. by paying that
company 81, 900, coo cash in advance,
giving them a 60-acre factory site
free, paying $50, 900 for changing the

plant, and expending an additional
million dollars in building streets and
sewers to accommodate the plant and
area to be occupied by the 1900 work.

The Columbia Corporation did not
ask for a bonus, and paid cash for
their factory site and expect to employ
300 men when their first unit, which
will be a 500 tire per day plant, is in
operation. With an initial capacity Of
500 tires and 500 tubes per day their

THE CELLO WRECK

Only those who were hurled from the
warm. lighted train last week. quar-
ters as comfortable as the most modern
home. into the mad chaos, with its
groans OF the dying and screams of the
injured, can realize fully the horror of
the wreck on the O.-W. r & N. line
at Cello. Such incidents cause us TO
shudder. Naturally, we seek. in our
contemplations of such disaster. the
cause and work toward future preven-
ton OF such death-deaing accidents.
Railroad wrecks are not infrequent
We read almost daily of them in var
lous parts of the country. But here on
the O.-W. r. & N. line we had come
TO feel secure. Fifteen years had
elapsed from the time of serious
wreck at Bonneville until that at
Cello. The O.-W. r. & N. Co.. from
Its highest officials down to the low
liest laborer had been drilled in cam
paigns of safety first, not only for
passengers but for their own protec-
tion.
While some inquiry has been directed
toward getting at the cause Of the
wreck, no conclusive explanation has
as yet been arrived at. Veteran Con
ductor Allison is held accountable in
one newspaper report. The rail man
agement, according to another was
negligent in failing 10 establish a dis
patcher at the junction at Fallrjdge
Indeed. the most thorough inyestiga-
ton may never reach a point where
definite responsibility can be placed
for the disaster. Ii is certain that the
wreck resulted from some slim Of tho
human agency. After all we must Law
1t up to the storm that clutched the
mid-Columbia. Ii was the clmactic
tragedy left in the wake Of the un-
leashed elements.
Under circumstances like those lsft
by the storm, railway officials. after
time become worn out. Schedules are
all awry and the routine Of their dsily
hves IS topsy turvy. IL is a wonder
that trains move with any efficiency or
degree Of safety under such circum.
stances. The fact that they do operate
with a close stimulation TO the or5erli-
ness Of things in normal times. shows
that railroad men are made Of GOOD
stuff. But when disorder comes in an /
overlooking series, getting worse and /
worse, the officials become callous. As
is only natural with humanity. and
there IS a pToneness to haste and 20
overlook details.
The Cello wreck was terrible
thing. It left a wake Of pain. grief
and sorrow. But it appears as one Of
those regrettable incidents for which
there is no human accounting. Moth
ing has been shown as yet that can re-
suit IN the pointing Of a condemnatory
finger at the rail management Jack
Allison may have relaxed from his
years wstchfulness for a moment
But out Of all the suffering the wreck
has left IN its wake, Conductor Ali

SCIENCE DISCOVERS THE BEE

The proverbially busy bee has ar.
rived Science long ago discovered
this thrifty worker, and now the Sun.
day magazine supplement of the big
metropolitan dailies takes up the in
dustrious manufactures Of sweets and
exploits the wonders of his activities,
in the economies Of plant life, along
with the firiations of chorus girls and
scandals of prominent Divorces.
In a recent issue of the Sunday Ore
gonian, in the magazine supplement,
we learn that the bee is valuable to
man. not merely because the insect
assemblies from fragrant flowers the
nectar sweetness, making it available
for food. The bee plays a far more
important part in the affairs of old
Mother Nature. DR.. w. H. Ballou,
Sc. d., Lit. D., l.. L. D., who despite
all these dignified titles. writes in as
interesting a style as those experts on
international love affairs that usually
demand the Sunday supplement space,
said in a recent Sunday Oregonian:
The farmer who owns a swarm of
bees not only will have honey; he will
have more and better vegetables, more
and better fruit, finer cattle, richer
dairy products, fatter chickens and
more eggs than if he had no bees.
"That is because the bee is natures |
great dependence for fertilizing plant |
life. 1t is the bee, flying from flower
to flower and from plant to plant which |
bears pollen from the male flower to
the female flower and thereby causes
them to grow.
"Science has long recognized sex in
horticulture and the part the bee plays
as pollinatOr. But only lately has this
discovery been applied in a practical
way to agriculture. Research showed
that lands with no bees became barren
and lands with bees waxed fertile. A
farm with bee hive produced twice
as much as farm without a bee
hive. "
Growers of fruits, all the way from
the cranberry bogs of New England to
the prune men of Santa Clara county,
Calf, have learned that bees increase Q
their weld and give fruits of better
quality. Orchardists of the Hood Rv-
er valley long ago learned the lesson
1f the bees. 1t has been determined
1y scientific research that bees are in
to the truck gardener. 1t is
1 great story. and an interesting one,
his of the bee and the part played by
ne most industrious of all insects in
he scheme of nature. 1t is a story d
worthy of study. II
Here in Hood River our winters are Il
o severe and diseases have made such
1roads that our bees are subject to g
eavy fatalities. But we might well "
irect some investigation for a cure of N
lch conditions. We may keep our or ~ ~
hards clean Of scab and eliminate an ~
hracnose, but we must have a certain u
uota of bees to give the blossoms az

PACIFIC NORTHWEST FRUIT EXPOSITION

At least the Seattle horticulture
boosters who recently staged big
showIthere, SO termed their fair. In the
Seattle Times, however, which issued
a special fruit exposition supplement,
painful effort was apparently taken to
exclude all other sections from partici-
patton, at least in the news of the ac-
tivities, except those Of the state of
Washington. We have always heard
that Seattle was rather selfish in toot-
ing her own and Washington's horn.
1t was certainly demonstrated in this
instance.

Legion Investigates Accident Victim

The American Legion Post is con-
Quoting an investigation to determine
whether John Wood. young trapper,
killed by falling limb on the Wahtum
Lake trail on Herman creek during the
recent snowstorm, was an ex-service
man. 1t was reported from Cascade
Locks that Mr.. Wood had been in the
army, and tentative plans had been
made for a Legion funeral Sunday.
Further inquiry has been unavaiIing
in confirming the reports, and the
young trapper, whose body is held
here, will probably be buried by the
county. A sister in British Columbia
was unable to pay funeral expenses.

matter should be fully investigated.
1t is a wonder that some of the costly

storm, contrary to alarm of sportsmen,
caused but little loss of life among
game birds. In former years the:loss
of China pheasants during periods Of
snowstorm has been very heavy. The
recent precipitation came chiefly in the
form Of dry sleet, which did not stick
to the birds and permitted of THEN
free action. They were able to take

WORKED BENEATH THE EARTH
Discovery In Jerusalem Solves Much of Mystery Connected With King
 Solomon's Temple,

How often great discoveries spring from trifIng incidents! The trite re fiection comes to mind naturally on hearing how the quarries of King Sol omon were found. Dr. Allen Moore for F years a resident of Palestine tells the curious tale.
 For many many years, says Doctor Moore, travellers and archeologists were puzzled to know where the enor- nous blocks of stone still standing ID the ruins of Solomon's temple at Jeru- salem were quarrIed. One day ltt- tie dog chased a lizard dOwI hole among the debris. The next instant the dog also disappeared.
 Ills master, coming to the opening peered down In vain. He called, and to his amazement his voice came back as from great depths. He summoned assistance, and passage was opened into immense subterTRneRn quarries, There were found huge masses Of stone almost ready to be hcisted above ground.
 And don't you remember" asks Doctor Moore, that We are told in our Bibles that the temple was built without sound of saw or of hammer The fact that the QuaTryman worked underground partly explains that"
 Upon some of the stones were found TnSCriDrioDs thaf DprDlpNed the pXpI0r- CTS until one scholar pronounced them PhOeniCiau. The stones were wrought by some Of that army of workmen sent by King Hiram Of Tyre to aid King Solomon In his task.-Youth's Com panion.
