BEWARE o FFLIES.

Don't allow flies in your house.
Don't permit them near your food
especially milk. Don't buy foodstuffs
where flies are tolerated.
Don't eat where flies have access to
food.
Flies are the most dangerous in
sects known to man.
Flies are the filthiest of all vermin
They are born in filth, live in filth
and carry filth around with them.
They are maggots before they are flies.
Flies are known to be carriers of
millions of death-dealing disease
germs.
They leave some of these germs
wherever they alight.
They carry these germs to your
food to your drink, to the lips of your
sleeping child, or perhaps to a small
open wound on your hands or face.
Screen all food, especially milk
Do not eat food that has been in con-
tact with flies.

SHALL WE GO BACK?

Coming back from a trip to Cali
fornia Judge Henry E. McGinn of
Portland tells of the political contest
now or in the southwestern state and
In the course of an interview said
1.-The contest in the California pri-
maries is exactly like the contest
which we have here in Oregon. The
question, and the sole question, in
California politics is: Shall the South
ern Pacific railroad company continue
t. name the republican ticket, by fill
ing all the offices with candidates of
their own choosing? Mr.. Johnson, as
the candidate of the Lincoln Roose-
paign on the one issue, that II he is
elected governor of California, the
Southern Pacific railroad will no
longer be the state government, as it
has been for 80 years and more, but
that corporation will become as it
was intended to be, a creature Of the
law and not the law itself"
The only difference between the sit
uation in California and the situation
In Oregon is that in the former state
the corporations work more openly.
California politics has been notori-
ously corrupt for years. The Southern
Pacific machine. under William F.
Herrin, has dominated the state COM
pleteiy. The horse has ruled its
master.
In Oregon corporation influence in
politics has been better disguised
than in California. Nevertheless 1t is
present. Corporation influence was
back of the nomination Of Jay Bow
ermana, a railroad attorney, as the
assembly choice for governor. That
same influence named Wallace Nc
Camant, attorney for the Wells Far
go express company, for supreme
judge. That same influence named
the Multnomah county assembly leg
islative ticket That legislative slate,
drawn by a corporation clique was
published by the Journal before it had
even been adopted by the Multnomah
assembly.
1t is the belief Of this paper and has
always been that corporate influence
Is back Of the entire assembly plan.
The scheme was not devised to aid
the republican party. 1t can only
burt the party. 1t was brought into
use because there are interests that
want to see the boss system restored
in Oregon politics. They want the
boss system restored because those in
terests can get what they want under
that system easier than under the di.
rect primary. When political bose,
hold the reins of power corporation
interests can go to headquarters" and
say 1--WE want this sort of man FOL
governor; this man for supreme judg'
and so and so for members of the leg
isiature." They are able to get wha
they want from the bosses because th'
interests are ready to supply the mon
ey for campaign purposes.
But do the people Of Oregon wan
to go back to the boss system and Il
the evils that result from the same
DO they want corporation influence L

as entertaining more or less partial
views toward his former branch.
It remains to be seen whether the
Infantry will be pleased with the
designation of Major General Barry.
That officer was originally of the
cavalry arm, then transferred to the
infantry arm when, in 1891, he was
appointed to the adjutant generals
department, in which he served until
his appointment as a brigadier gen.
eral by Mr.. Roosevelt, in August,
1903. He became a major general in
April 1908, his promotion by Mr..
Roosevelt at that time being some
thing of a surprise. General Barry
has been so long separated from the
infantry that he may not be regarded
by members of that arm as belong
ing to that branch.

MANY CHANGES
IN U. S. ARMY
Promotion Of Gen. Wood To Chief OF
Staff Makes Many More Changes
Necessary.
(By Union Associated Press.)

Washington, April 21.-Many i'm
portant changes in army commands
are scheduled incident to the assump-
ton by Mayor-General Leonard
Wood of the position of Chief of Staff.
Major-Gen. Frederick D. Grant to-
day takes command of the Depart
ment of the East at New York, and
his place as Commander of the De-
partment of the Lakes at Chicago is
taken by Gen. G. l.. Hodges, who
commanded the Department of the
Dakota. Gen. F. A. Smith, until now
in command of Fort D. A. Russell,
Wyo, takes command of the Depart
nlent of the Missouri, position just
vacated by the retirement of Gen.
Morton. Gen. Walter Howe, on duty
at Fort Hancock, N. j. is designated
as Commander of the Dakota. Gen.
Ralph w. Hoyt, just promoted, goes
to Fort D. A. Russell.
Another important change, which
will take effect about Aug. 81, is the
appointment of Maj.-Gen. Thomas H.
Barry to succeed Col. H. L. Scott as
superintendent of the West Point
) Military Academy. Seldom before
has any appointment created 80 much
comment in army circles, and officers
are still privately discussing, pro and
con, the wisdom of the action in
placing a general officer at the head
of the institution for training soldiers.
There was great excitement when
it was learned that major general
had been chosen as superintendent
at West Point. 1t will be the first
time an army officer of that grade
has been detailed to this post, and it
is probable that there will be officers
who will regard the designation of a
major general as not in keeping with
the duties devolving on him as the
head of the Military Academy, es-
pecially as there were officers who
contended it was not, properly speak
ing a brigadier generals billet.
At the same time the military au-
thorities have come to the conclusion
that the head of the institution at
West Point, where several hundred
cadets are under instruction for duty

Philadelphia, April 20.-A three-day

Jackson, Miss, April 21.-A state
ment has been compiled showing the
business done in the Jackson post
office from March 81, 1909, to the
same date in 1910. This statement
will be a revelation to many resi-
dents of this city, for while they knew
the city had grown a great deal in the
last few years, there is no better bar
ometer to citys increased popula-
ton than the postoffice.
The first exhibit of the statement
is the money orders, and this is fol
lowed by the postal receipts for the
year ending March 81, 1910, as COM
pared with the same date in 1904-5,
the number of clerks and carriers and
the salaries paid This statement
makes a wonderful showing, as the
receipts, in that period, have increas-
ed over $4,000

ending March 81, 1910, compared with
the same period in 1905, follows:

COSTLY ACCIDENTS.
A Lost Tin Mine and a Lead Mines
Bottomless Pit.

Bottomless Pit.
Immense plans which seemed about
to be completed. but have been brought
to disastrous failure at the last mo-
ment. are frequent enough in the his
tory of industry.
London Answers tells the story of a
tin mine in England which might have
yielded a fortune but for a storm.
With the finding Of a new vein of
ore running out toward the sea a new
level was driven out below the water;
then it was found that the lode bent
upward too near the sea bottom for
mining to be safely carried on. Undis-
couraged, the owner borrowed money,
built sea wall to cut off the water,
erected pumps and again went to
work.
On the sixth day, just as an enor-
nous mass of rich ore was being tap
ped, gale came up, ship was blown
upon the wall. which went to pieces
at once, and the sea drove the heavy
stones in upon the thin roof of the
mine. In a moment the workings were
hopelessly flooded and the owner was
a ruined man.
A story equally tragic is told of the
Speedwell lead mine in Derbyshire.
Believing that rich vein of ore exist
ed in nearby hill. the owner risked
his entire capital to bore d tunnel
5000 feet long into the heart of the
mountain. Suddenly the miners broke
through a wall of rock into vast hid
den cavern. through which flowed a
stream of water.
They began to dump rock into the
stream. and after 10000 tons bridge
began to rise out of the darkness. and
then their farther progress was stop
ped. Month after month they toiled,
and at last. after 10000 tons in all had
been cast into the cavern. they gave it
up.
That narrow rift is known to this
day as the Bottomless Pit.
