former city government granted to
the Oregon Electric on that street.

Mayor Waters said there. was no

was correct. The report of the
street committee was fair to all In

ended so far as this council was

SCHOOL PROGRESS IN JAPAN.
spokesman-Review.

Spokesman-Review.
According to the educational census
OF 1905 In Japan. ninety-eight boys and
ninety-three girls out OF every 100 VINO
were II school age were attending
school. The Japanese minister of
state education, in his annual report,
recently issued. refers with justifiable
national pride to this fact, especially
as estimates since the taking of that
census show that the proportion OF at
tendance is being maintained.
In 1873 only 2s per cent of the chill
dren were in school, but under the
system of compulsory education which
has been established within the last
thirty-five years the conditions have
wonderfully improved. The close at
tention which Japan is now paying
cause and an effect of the immense
strides which that nation has recently
been making. With the awakening
to the broadening possibilities before
1t the government was evidently quick
to see that the schools would be an
important factor in future develop
ment, and as the education of the
people has progressed they have the
more readily taken advantage of their
opportunities.
Other nations, especially the United
States and Canada. where japanese
immigration and Japanese competition
are live issues, cannot but recognize
that country which enforces literacy
TO such a degree is bound TO present
serious commercial and social prob
lem for future as well as present con
sideration.

CAMPERS AND FIRES.

The Toronto Mail sounds warn.
ing for Canadian campers which
should be of interest on this side OF
the border. Many hundreds of thou
sand dollars worth of timber is de
stroyed every season. say that pub
lication, by forest fires which are
started by careless outing parties.
While large tracts of wooded land
have been denuded during the last
few years by lumber operators, there
still remains thousands of acres OF
valuable timber which should be pro
tected against accidental fire. Dur.
Ing the late summers large numbers
OF sportsmen go into the northern
woods on camping trips. Many
lowans seek the wilds during the
open game seasons. In another cou
pie of months the great forests will
team with hunters, every state in the
union furnishing Its quota. That
there will be destructive fires this
year Is probable. Most of these
might be avoided II ordinary precau
tions were taken by hunting parties
The average sportsman, says the
Mail, In his hurry to break camp
mornings, will neglect to put out his
fire. It's ashes are apparently dead
when he leaves, and he does not
think to make closer examination
After he has gone the smoulderine
sparks communicate themselves to
the surrounding underground, and O
great forest fire is started, the dam
age from which cannot be repaired
under quarter of century.
The Canadian paper has computed
the cost of replanting at about 81
an acre, or $500 square mile. II
costs more than 100000 70 cover ar
ordinary township with young trees
After this expenditure a generation
Is required before the trees may ma
ture. One careless camper, In an hours
time, can destroy plot of timber o
greater area than this. After all, II
is a simple matter to extinguish camt
fires, and IL hunters only realized Their
responsibilities while in the woods
there would not be many costly con
flagrations. 1t is inconceivable tha,
anyone would deliberately touch off q
forest.

How many men can go out in their
back yards, or out in their fields, and
pay themselves out of debt nine times,
and still have something left for a
rainy day? Very few, we take 1t.
Yet that is what "Uncle Sam" does
regularly-what he has just done. In
fact. Really. when you come to fig
ure il out, a billion-dollar congress
such as we used to abuse our states
men for-would in this day and time
seem a pretty tame. II not actually
niggardly, affair. A two-billion-dollar
congress is by no means extrayagant.
il extravaganza be reckoned accord
ing to ones means. Nor will three
billion dollar congress seem unreason-
able in the near future, II things boom
along for the next few years as they
have doomed along for the past few.
AS matter of fact, we are just be-
ginning to take our real measure In
this land. We have grown SO fast and
so furiously that we have hardly had
time heretofore to think about how
big we were getting. We are gigantic
and we are just now finding 1t out.
