A HARD BLOW

The conflagration which de- s;royed a major portion of Fly der's main business district last week was in every respect the greatest disaster in tie history of the Portland Canal mining district.
 Involved in the wave of frey destruction were five of the camps most important busi- ness enterprises, in addition to a number of private proper ties of considerable value. While some of the interests in- volved will feel the effects less severely than others, ow- ing to insurance indemnities and other resources, the loss as a whole, although not ex- tensive when measured by the wealth standards of today, was nevertheless a tremendous one for small community to sustain. In addition to the act ual monetary loss involved, it must also be recalled that years of laborious effort amidst many trials and dis couragements incident to the upbuildng of a new commun- ity must be included in the total of the damage inflicted by the conflagration.
 Standing amidst the ruins of the things they have given their lives to and facing that hardest of all tasks described by the poet as building up again with wornout tools, :" they are entitled to the most profound sympathy and en- couragement the community can give.
 That even the most severe sufferers have withstood the shock of sudden diversity with cheerful fortitude and are looking forward to rebuilding at the earliest moment is g splendid testimonial to theil courage as we'll as an inspiring evidence of confidence in the future of the camp that should uplift the spirits of all.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS
coming more and more of a

coming more and more of a memory.
 The Fourth of July which small boys and girls awaited as eagerly as Christmas itself, a day of toy torpedo, of cellu- loid-collared orators, and ice cream socials, has been trans formed into an Independence Day of quiet and dignity.
 'But how can we teach our children what Fourth of July really means?" mother ask ed not long ago, adding, "you must meet a child on his own ground--things must be ex- plained to him in terms that he understands"
 This mother, who is fortunate enough never to have been forced to the tragic task of binding up mangled little fling CTS shredded by innocent fire-crackers," is arguing that a child must be taught the meaning of liberty and free dom and independence by lighting a pin wheel or hurl- a torpedo cane upon the pave ment.
 It is difficult for us who passed childhood in the old fashioned noisy Fourth of July decade to remember that our Roman candles and flower pots" meant anything lofty and inspiring to us--anything but a rollicking holiday.
 Safe and sane Fourtths are pretty we'll established but the argument that some way should be found to make green the meaning of what those periwigged builders of our nation did back on July 4, 1776, is a worthy one.
 The great purpose of a Fourth of July observance is not only to pay respect to the early framers of this govern. ment but to measure the patri. otism of this with that day, tc determine whether this nation has been true to the faith whether it has kept aloft the torch, whether it's willingness to sacrifice for the common good deserves a place with the sacrifices of the fathers of the nation. Such speculation is 1T order in these times and 2 quiet, dignified observance is a step to that end.

THIS IDYLLIc SEASON.

Many things are reasonable in summer--such as fresh fruit garden vegetables, vacation ing, sleeping-porches, swim ming, baseball and golf--bu from the working-man's point of-view it just seems as though summer is first of all the seas on's for straight-away, unadul- terated and undisturbed loaf ing. And when we use work ing man" in this connection we mean every man and woman who is earning liv- ing, every woman and man who is keeping house and ev- cry boy and girl who is going to school or college.
 T'he economist who discovers a means whereby the world can earn a livelihood and create an estate in the nine months from September to June 1 should be sainted, knighted, degreed (that is by universities, not juries), elect ed to some good paying pub lie office and pensioned. Even though the formula has not been discovered, there should be great fortune-making pos abilities in high-powered ad- vertising of such a prescript- ion secretly discovered and offered to a distressed public for the first time.
 During autumn, winter anC spring the righteous indignat ion of the toiling world rise. up against such as will not work but thrive as parasites upon that part of humanity which works. What a diffe. rent complexion public opinion takes on during the warm and smiling days of summer! No. body planes a fellow for turn. ing hobo then. Bosses who spend the mornings at the soda bar and the afternoon or the golf links, don't belabol their employees for dropping the pencil for a moment o1 day-dreaming and window gazing. The meals mother pre- pares on hot summer day. would be ample grounds fol divorce at any other time o1 the year, but father complains not and the children are satis fled. Mother hasn't the energy to eat that which she has pro vided.
 So it is resolved that summer was made for hammocks, ice cold lemonade in the shade, : water-side cottage, a loafinl automobile or anything what so ever except work.

"Some of these appropriations were
unnecessary" he continued, "but
when the treasury has large sur
pluses IL is most difficult TO restrain
the congress from using that surplus
for purposes which many Of the mem

Congress appropriated less money,
however, than the president request

congresses was a great deal less than
the president suggested, and Mr..
Coolidge is the reputed economy
president. The record shows, how
ever, that he has requested congress
