Good citizenship, in fact, civilization
demands work. One is not waited
through life on fiowerY beds of ease
because he could not be Il man in such
case. Civilization makes work, and
work makes men. We all rejoice to
see hare worker win great reward
and the crowds toss high their hats in
his honor, but it is vastly more jmpor-
tant that each struggling brother,
whether he wins or loses his cause, be
himself grand and true.

PARK BENEFITED
BY THE RAINS

The new park is sharing in the bene-
fits of the rain of Tuesday afternoon
and night The four big flower beds
appear very beautiful, while every part
Of the park seems refreshed. The low
er end Of the grounds where grass seed
was sown the first. is clothed with
green. During he:draught7the ground
was sprinkled at intervals, but it re-
quired good rain such as we have
just experienced to bring out the grass
and flowers rightly. The upper portion
OF the park, completed last, shows but
little signs Of grass. Seed was sown
there as we'll as on the other part, but
during the drought there was no sign
OF grass and it was thought that the
seed died as the effect Of the heat.
Since the rain. however. grass has
made its appearance. which would in
dictate that the seed there has sprout-
ed. Unless another drought follows,
in short time no doubt the entire
park will be covered with grass.

MACADAM MUST
Be RE-SURFACED

There is quite a general desire to
know what has become of the proposi
tion to repair the macadam on North
Mill street which was constructed last
year under the act of May /, 1905.
A month or so ago, it will be recall
ed, the State highway department
through it's engineer called the bor-
ough's attention to the need of repairs
and took the initiative in preparing
for the work. Since then nothing has
been done and it is hardly necessary
to add that the street has been getting
worse all the time.
Automobiles are loud in their COM
plants The macadam in question was
very good piece of work. 1t was
made perfectly smooth and was given
good crown, while the cutters and
sewers were constructed so as to be
ready for any demands that might be
made upon them. All of which in
dicates that, no matter how we'll con-
structed maoadam road may be. it
should receive constant attention il it
is to be kept in good shape.
No matter how well drained the &C
tion Of water on such a road, during a
heavy rain. is bound to have some ef-
feet on the macadam The constant
grinding Of wheels will do the rest.
On North Mill street the light ton
material, forming the crown, which
acts as binder, is wholly washed or
blown away. The stones or larger
material underneath are exposed, if
not torn up and tossed about 1t is
hardly necessary to endeavor to de-
scribe the effects experienced by per.
sons driving over the road The ap-
pearance of workmen to make the
necessary repairs is very anxiously
awaited.

A ROSY VIEW
OF THE SITUATION

Prosperity, better and saner than
the United States has ever known be-
fore, is forseen for the next decade by
Prof. Henry @. Adams, for twenty
years in charge OF statistics and ac-
counts for the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Professor Adams is re
cognized as one of the closest students
OF industrial and financial conditions
in the service OF the government. His
intimate association with the railroads
and their operation has given him an
insight into conditions unequaled. The
commission statistician has reached
the conclusion that business in all
lines will return rapidly to normal,
and normal conditions are to be sue
ceeded quickly by extraordinary pros
perity in every department of industri-
al activity. Both capital and labor in
his opinion are on the dawn of new
day. Professor Adams declared that
the holder of stocks is about to come
into his own. He regards the depres-
sion that followed the panic of last
October as blessing in disguise, in
that it will insure economy by pre-
venting the return of reckless confid-
ence that has endangered by too long
and too continued good times. We are
now almost through the depression to
which referred" he said today. 1T
was proceeded by period OF intense
business activity. Invaribly during
such period men loose more or less of
their caution. Everything seems pros
porous and the depression comes and
the revenues fall away the managers
cast about for means to reduce eX-
penses. They have been finding out for
the larger part of year past where to
make economies, where they were per-
mitting part of their money to go into
avoidable expense. They have been
taking in the slack, getting things on
safe and secure basis. 1t has been
severe experience, but from the stand
point of the shareholder it has been
really good thing. The depression
will end and business will be good
again. Its volume in the next cycle
will be greater than ever. But the les
son OF this period of enforced econ
omies will not be easily unlearned
The increasing revenues will be par
alleled off against columns showing
reduced expenditures in many ways.
There will be greater care and econ
omy. with the result that the stock
holder will have better share coming
to him -

GOOD CROPS ARE
NOT ASSURED

Several farmers who had business at
the court house Monday INDUCED in
a general discussion as to the crop
prospects They were unanimously Of
the opinion that there is too much
overcontidence shown by persons who
undertake to forecaste as to the sea-
sons crops.
They ridiculed the idea that the re-
cent rains should be considered of
sufficient potency to insure full yield
of every thing that is still growing on
the farm. There is not a crop, they
held, but will show the effect of the
set back it received during the drought.
But to make the matter worse, they
pointed out, another drought is on.
the effects of which are already per.
ceptible. Another heavy rain, they
explained. will be necessary very soon
in order to cause the corn to ear we'll
just as the previous rain was essential
in order to bring out the tassels or
blossoms Rain or no rain, they said,
potatoes are bound to yield less than
a full crop. The yield Of other crops
will depend upon the amount OF rain
that falls during the next few weeks.
Monday. it was admitted that the
prospects Of abundant rain were poor.
That rain is needed is quite as OBJ
vious in town as in the country. Like
the country roads, the streets are very
dusty, while the river is about as low
as at any time this summer. The wat
er is falling very rapidly and each sue.
ceeding day brings larger patches of
the river bottom TO view.

COAL OIL STOVE
CAUSES FIRE

A coal oil stove exploded in an out
kitchen of Mrs. Martin Curry's resi-
dence. No. 107 Nicholas avenue, Sun
day afternoon. resulting in fire,
which caused loss of several hundred
dollars.
The stove had been lighted to pre-
pare supper, when the fire occurred
What caused the stove to explode is
not known. In an instant the fire COM
municated to the wood work of the
building. Although every effort was
made with such means as we're at
hand TO extinguish the fire, yet in a
short time the flames were beyond con-
troll and the kitchen was destroyed
In the interval general alarm had
been sounded. but before the fire de-.
partment arrived the flames attacked
the dwelling proper, climbing to the
roof Of the rear end, whence they ate
their way in under the roof.
Two sections of hose were soon con-
nected, one by the Friendship and the
other by the Goodwill company. The
flames, where exposed. were soon ex-
tinguished, but the fire, smouldering
under the roof, gave the fiIemen hard
fight.
The house is badly damaged AS far
as could be ascertained there was no
insurance on the building.

SCHOOL BUILDING
REPAINTED

Among the improvements ordered
by the school board this year the bulk
relate to the second ward building,
which among other repairs has re-
ceived new coat of paint,
The contract for the painting was
awarded to William Mottern, who
has just completed the job. All the
woodwork on the outside of the build
ing was repainted. Not only are the
evidences of good workmanship every
where apparent, but the colors are ap-
propriate and harmonious, imparting
TO the building clean, bright and
pleasing appearance. 1t is to be re-
gretted that the school board could
not see its way clear to have the
brick work repainted, which has be-
come dull and weather beaten and
would be much improved by a coat of
paint.
Mr.. Mottern also calcimined the
walls of the rooms of the fourth
and fifth grades of the second ward
school. Later he will paint the doors
Of all the school buildings, which
during the last term were taken off
their hinges and rehung, in order
that they might open outward.
Another important improvement at
the second ward building is the in.
stalling of very handsome curb of
Wyoming blue stone along the north
and east sides of the grounds. T. L.
Evans sons have the contract for this
branch OF the work. The curbing has
become necessary in order to keep the
grounds in repair. The grounds need
filling up, but until the present it
has been useless to make repairs, as
with every heavy rain the material
used in grading has been washed
away. The curbing, with proper
drainage, it is believed, Will prevent
washing and keep the grounds in good
shape.
