We read in an exchange the other day
that the Kansas City Star is ''the best
newspaper in America" and few days
later W. F. Bean handed us sample copies
of the morning and evening editions (the
former the Morning Tines and the Sur
glay Star. All three editions, morning,
evening and Sunday, 10 papers week,
are delivered by carriers in Kansas City
and vicinity for 10 cents week, and sent
by mail, postage prepaid, for Is cents a
week. This is made both possible and
profitable by liberal advertising patron
age. There is nothing yellow about the
Star 1t has no scare heads and uses no
red, blue or green inks. For all that it is
live newspaper and prints the news
without playing up scandals or gloating
over human misfortunes. Editorially it
is independent and, when need be, aggres-
sive. In brief, it is an ideal newspaper.

familiar with the findings of the Boston

L. Il. Duncan of Rockland, who for
many years has been engaged in the
salmon fishery in Northport, was in the
city last Saturday, and reports the small
est catch thus far in his long experience.
In fact, the catch has been decreasing
year by year. Mr.. Duncan, after careful
investigation, is certain that the decline
in the salmon fishery is due to the acid
from the pulp mills, which has driven the
3 Ash from their spawning beds, and thinks
that the mills should be prevented from
turning this acid into the river. The
refuse from the saw mills used to be
dumped into the rivers until it obstructed
navigation, when the practice was pro-
hibited, and it would seem that steps
should be taken now to prevent the de-
struction of the salmon fishery.

J. F. Rutherford and Family Make
 Trip to Little Rock in an Automo-
 bile in Four Hours.
 In a big White Steamer touring car John F. Rutherford, accompanied by John F. Rutherford, Jr., as chauffeur, Mrs. Rutherford and two daughters, made a cross-country run to Little Rock last Saturday, but the trip was not record breaker. Owing to a terrific rain, which fell all along the route, it required four hours to make the run from Pine Bluff to the capital city. The first twelve miles were made in fast time and with good road conditions, but the last twenty-four miles were run after much difficulty. MT. Rutherford returned to Pine Bluff yesterday, but Mrs. Rutherford and the other members of the party re- mained there to visit her mother, Mrs. J. A. Cramer, for several days. They kept the big White Steamer in the capital and will make use of it while in that city. John F. Rutherford, Jr, has charge of the car. MT. Ruther- f6rd reports that the roads were al most impossible at various points be tween Pine Bluff and Little Rock Many stumps and puddles were in the road and he says they were fortunate that they reached the capital at all, There had been no rain in that local ity for several weeks and the mud oc- casoned much trouble to the auto ists. Mir. Rutherford will go to Little Rock in a few days and return with his family over the same route in the auto.

 Gentlemen:-lt gives lie pleasure to acknowledge receipt of check for $100 in full settlement of claim under policy No. 1,515 for the loss of an eye.
 At the time of the accident the doc tor thought that l had a slight injury to my eye and estimated my claim to be of ten days duration, and notified Kimball X Sanders to the effect and received my check, for said time then and there, later it developed that had lost the entire sight of my eye and l had signed a full release on the first claim to the company.
 Kimball& Sanders having learned of my losing my eye, took this matter at once without my even thinking that there was anything that could be done and handed me check for s100 on the Bank of Pine Bluff. Words cannot express the gratitude that l have for Kimball & Sanders, managers for the Great Eastern Cas- Co.,, of New York and I can highly recommend that company to any one not carrying policy.

WORKS BOARD TO
TO BE REORGANIzED
New Ordinance Limits Number
of Employees and Defines
Authority of Officials

OAKLAND, July 16-An ordinance
fixing the number of employees of the
board of public works at 1sS. reor-
ganizing the street department under
superintendent of Streets Howe and
limiting the total annual salaries of
the department to $4,000 was recon-
mended for passage by the ordinance
and judiciary committee of the city
council last night.
It is specified in the ordinance that
all employees of the street department
shall be hired by the superintendent of
streets, shall be suspended or dismissed
By him only, and that no overtime
compensation is to be allowed for labor
except in case Of urgent sewer repairs.
One clause of the ordinance provides
for the reduction of the salary of the
deputy superintendent of streets, now
Charles OFT, from 5000 to $50 a month
The ordinance also provides that the
street department shall be conducted
under civil service rules, along the
same lines as the police and fire de-
partments.
Mayor Mott appeared before the
council in support of the ordinance.
He said:
7 favor the adoption of the ordi-
nance in the interest of efficiency. The
possible to operate the street depart
ment without this change making it
separate from other departments Aud
itor Gross opposed some of the items,
and thought that he could reduce the
budget $1,000. We were able to show
we also agreed TO several of his sug-
gestions"

MILK IS DUMPED
INTO THE STREET
Inspector, Weary of Lack OF
Convictions, Takes Law
Into His Own Hands

OAKLAND, July 1s.-Tired of the
tecnnieaiities Of the law, and despair
Ing or conyicting violstors of it after
he had arrested them, Milk Inspector
Downey today took the law into his
own hands. and instead of arresting
driver of the Union farm dairy for
having for sale inferior milk, he
dumped the whole wagon load of the
oairy's produce into a sewer.
Downey has arrested several milkmen
curing the last few months for selling
milk tnat was below the standard of
per cent butter fat. But when his
prisoners came up for trial. they were
not convicted. Something in the proof
was lacking, or there was some quirlS
OF the law that the attorneys for the
deiendants took advantage of
rms morning the milk inspector
stopped the wagon OF the Union dairy
rarm and made a test Of the milk on
the spot. He found that instead of
per cent of butter fat, the milk had
oniy 20 per cent. Downey did not take
the driver to Jail, as he had done with
former drivers. He did not even take
MS name. Instead, he took every can
OF milk in the wagon, took this lid off
ana poured the contents into a nearby
sewer where the rats alone could com

INVESTIGATES MILK
SUPPLY OF EUROPE
Prof. Archibald R. Ward Will
Apply knowledge for Adj
vantage of Berkeley

BERKELEY. July 16.-Friends OF DIT.
Archibald r. Ward. head OF the state
hygienic laboratory, have learned that
after making his flying pleasure trip
to the east he has joarneyed to Europe,
where he is investigating the question
of municipal milk supply on the con-
tinent. partly TO secure data for
book on the subject and partly at the
request of the authorities OF this city
Dr. Ward. who Is an expert bacteri-
ologist and veterinarian, has already
published one book on the subject Of
milk. but the question of the municipal
milk supply is a new field of investi-
cation for him. He is at present in
Copenha gen and will leave shortly for
Russia for a study of the sanitary
methods Of the distribution Of milk in
big cities.
His knowledge will be applied to
local conditions and another attempt
will be made to frame a pure milk
ordinance to replace the one which
has been declared unconstitutional.
This ordinance will come under the
head of the department OF public health
and safety, Of which Christian Hqn is
commissioner. and he is enthusiastic
over the work of Dr. Ward.
DR.. Ward will return 10 resume his
studies and duties at the university in
August and his arrival here is awaited
with interest by the members OF the
new council.

WARNS WOMEN AGAINST
DAME FASHIONS WILES
Mrs. Ellen III. Richards Advo-
Gates Standard Gowns

BERKELEY. July 1s.-That there
was no reasonable excuse for the hold
which Dame Fashion had on the mod
ern women was the statement which
Mrs. Ellen II. Richards made to the
students OF the university and the club
women who gathered for her lecture
yesterday afternoon. She continued the
subject this afternoor. and declared
that the cost OF living had advanced
greatly in the last 20 years because the
American people must have things"
no matter what the cost.
The constant change in style causes
unnecessary expense One button more
on a modera woman's suit seems to
change the style, and she must have
new one said Mrs. Richards. This is
not the case with the man, who is salts
fed with wearing his suit as long as It
looks we'll.
Il am in favor Of the same standard
for men and women in everv way, and
believe that women should not be
slaves of fashion any more than men. A
certain style, say Of the evening gar
ments, can be made the correct thing
and 1t should always be the acme OF
fashion"
