The Value of New Ealeaa.

The recognition of the value of new
idea in regard to business point is
leading employers to encourage criti-
cisms and suggestions from employees
in respect to the details of the bust
ness, thus utilizing their microscopic
view rather than depending solely on
the birdseye view which is taken by
the manager. A friendly feeling re-
suits from this attitude, and the en-
ployee takes deeper interest in his
work, developing his own capacity and
helping tie business TO see his idea
carried out by his superiors puts new
life into him and adds new enthusiasm
to his efforts Success.

SHOULD DOCTORS
TELL THE TRUTH.

The suicide of a man in The prime
OF life. shortly after being Informed
by physician that he would soon
become permanently blind raises a
question of considerable clinical in.
tercst, namely. whether il is right for
doctor 10 hlurt out such terrible
tfuths to his patients. even in answer
to their repeated and insistent quc.-
liens. To not a few imaeinative per
sight, ftcr its full possession and en-
lOymcnt is worse than actual death
itself. so that the latter becomes 4
ready means of escape. Absolutely
hopeless and painful diseases belong
in the same category The propriety
of telling the patient that he is cer.
tainly doomed to die in a few weeks
or months or years. has been much
discussed by the medical profession
but there seems to be no aniform
practice or code for dealing with such
Ditiful cases.
r. Brudenell Garter says: ".\monc.
the many Difficult questions which Of
ten present themselves in the course
of medical practice few are more diff
ficult, independently Of legal liabil-
tiles or obligations than those which
an opinion, especially an adverse
opinion, concerning the probable is
sue Of an illness ought to be com
municated to the patient or his fam
lily. 1t must be borne in
mind that an adverse medical opinion
is distinctly depressing agency, and
that the business of the doctor is to
sustain the vital powers, and to obvi-
ate. as far as possible, the tendency
toward DEATH" After stating that in
the majority of cases where the end
is in doubt it is perhaps justifiable
to inform the patient of his approach
ing death, he continues: '"There are
people upon whom the fear, or even
the prospect. of death exerts a dis
tlnctly paralyzing influence, of such
a nature and extent that the doctor,
if aware of the personal equation in
volved. would hardly be justified in
any circumstances in allowing such a
prospect to be presented to the suf-
ferer."-New York Globe.

A Singular Grievance.

The blacksmiths in the Topeka
shops OF the Santa Fe system have
queer grievance. Representatives
OF the Blacksmiths' union. have called
upon the management to demand that
no extra pay be given blacksmiths
VINO have exceeded the maximum of
work prescribed by the union rules.
Inc company had been paying prem
lnms to the better and swifter work
lngmen and in one branch, the making
OF springs, blacksmiths, who formerly
considered four springs a days task,
under the premium system made nine
a day, demonstrating that formerly
tney played and loafed. But the
union will not have it that way. -Four
springs day = oil tha+ .h~
smiths dare make in the future. even
II extra pay is offered for the number
ABOVE that maximum. That a policy
OF that kind is bound to hurt every
dilsent and ambitious mechanic and
tnat sooner or later it will lose to tn.

LIVING 10C YEARS.

\ London specialist, who declares
there are more centenarians in the
world than the general public sus-
poets, and that there ought to be a
good many more than there are, laws
down the following simple rules for
long living
BE moderate.
do not worry.
Take plenty of sleep.
Take plenty of exercise.
Eat plenty of sugar, rice, peas,
fruit, potatoes, bread and milk.
Eat sparinely of fish and meat"
Almost any person possessing a
healthy constitution could live to be
hundred,' says this same specialist.
Sir James Crichton- BOVINE in pa
per lately read before the Public
Health congress in London declared
that lit is good working hypothesis
to regard the natural life of man as
100 years.
These eminent authorities thus re-
move all excuse for death at the
early age of so or 90

ing youth, with at least 30 years Of
hard hustle still before him.
He who at that proverbially ripe
age thinks he has finished his life job
and contentedly lies down to pleasant
death is miserable "quitter."
But these eminent specialists, who
talk so learnedly, are, after all, only
theorists. Neither of them has yet
attained 100 years himself or any
where near it. Perhaps long before
they reach the century mark that now
looks so easy to them their error will
be buried with them.
For more thousands of years than
can be accurately computed men
have made their chief concern to live
JuSL do lOnS dS tuty CdtH. IlSClOuS
few, in modern times at least, have
succeeded in passing 100 years. So
the secret cannot be as simple as it
is made to seem.
Among the negro races" says the
London specialist who has laid down
the list of rules. "centenarians are ex
iremely numerous, and it is merely
because they unconsciously follow
these rules. They sleep so much, fer
instance, that negro centenarian
only spends so or 60 years out of hi,
100 awake, while a white man would
be awake IS years of the time.
But the specialist fails to give any
rules by which a white man may
change himslf to a negro Nor is there
any argument given to combat the
natural feeling that one might as we'll
be dead as asleep.
Maybe each individual is good for
Just so much wear and tear.
And really it doesn't matter so
Huch how long we live as how we'll
we live.

Water Spout on Mill Creek.

Sunday afternoon about o'clock a
water spout played. havoc with two
fruit orchards up Mill creek, about
seven miles from The Dalles, saws the
Chronicle. The water came down the
hillside, and rushed through the farms
OF Mrs. Matney and Mr.. Mlget to Mill
creek. Hail lay on the ground about
three inches deep after the storm.
There were about five inches of water
in the residences of Mr.. Miguet and
Mrs. Matney, as a result of the water
spout. Mrs. Matney has resided on
Mill creek for number of years. but
this is her first experience of water
spout in that vicinity. She says the
road is badly washed out, and the
damage to her orchard and that of Mr..
Miguel will be fully 800. The hail
cut off limbs of fruit trees and dos
troyed the vines of sweet potatoes and
other growths. 1t came very suddenly
and for while there was quite an
alarm felt that something in the shape
Of the Heppner flood was being enact
cd on Mill creek. The rush of water
soon passed down the creek and no
further damage could be ascertained
than that mentioned. The flood ap-
peared to be confined to the two
farms which lay in its course to Mill
creek, and above and below these two
places no damage was done.

selling it off the place, or you will be
liable to heavy fine. Spray your
trees and see that very little wormy

This measure was introduced into
the Oregon legislature for the benefit
and protection of the careful grower.
Other states have had such a law for
several years, and as a consequence,
Portland has been made a dumping
ground for diseased and wormy fruits
from the surrounding states.
Mr.. Smith says credit for the pas

last winter IN the interest of Cascade

this fruit inspector bill was properly
taken care of by the committees in
both house and senate.

endorsed by mass meeting of Hood

Bateham at Salem, the measure would
