who have tried cheaper pavements
do not have the satisfaction that
grows out of having the best. Wood
burn has put down a mlle of biru-
lithic and the property along those
streets has all doubled in value and
fine residences are going uD.
What Contractors Say.
H. Shook, one of the largest and
most successful building contractors
in Oregon, says he has seen the Bit
ulithic pavement put down at Albany,
Corvallis, Eugene, Medford and Ash
land, and in every instance it has Civ
en- perfect satisfaction, and is with
out exception the best pavement
made. He has also seen other pave
ments tried, and all are partial fail
ures. Mr.. Shook was one of those
who petitioned for Bitulithic pave
ment on South Commercial street,
and regrets very much that he could
not have that kind constructed.
History ait Salem.
About four years ago the Warren
Construction Company laid its first
bitulithic pavement in the city of Sa-
lem. 1t was laid on Court street, be-
tween Commercial and Church
streets, and such excellent satisfac-
tion did it give that since that time
the company has been awarded con-
tract after contract for the pavement
of the city's principal streets. While
the pavement has during that time
been subjected to an immense amount
of travel-subjected to every test
which can be applied to a street pave
ment-it has stood them all ant

In Iowa and the Dakotas a fine,

THE BROOM THAT SWEEPS THE
COBwEBS OUT OF BUSINESS.

The humor OF the late Mark Twain
cropped out long before Huck Finn
and Tom Sawyer became world
known characters. When the great
humorist was editing country
weekly in one OF the western states,
a subscriber OF his. upon opening
his paper. found big healthy spider
between the sheets. The subscriber.
being superstitious. wrote to Mark
TO know what such phenomenon
signifed.
1T signifies nothing" wrote the
future creator of Huck Finn. THAT
spider was simply looking through
the paper to find some merchant
who did not advertise. On getting
this information. the spider intends
to go to the store of this merchant.
weave his web across the door and
rest in peace foreyermore.
The merchant who does not adj
vertise may be able to keep the cob
webs from his door by the strenuous
use of broom, but cobwebs are
bound to accumulate in his business
sooner or later. Letting people know
where they can get what they want
day by day through the columns of a
newspaper puts the cobwebs that
usually gather in July and August
in the other fellows store. News
paper advertising is the broom that
sweeps the cobwebs out OF business
and makes dull seasons bright.

COLLEGES THAT ARE MERE FAC.
TORIES.

The board Of trustees Of historic old
Amherst college have recently taken
a step that promises to Ill the college
to overlooking with students. Some
time ago the board was confronted
with the problem that has confronted
the management Of practically every
institution Of learning in the country
the specialization OF the curriculum
along vocational lines. The demand
that has arisen in all parts OF the
country for changing the college
courses 80 as to ft the student for
some definite vocation in life also
came to the management Of Amherst.
Instead Of aceeding 70 this demand.
however, the board o. directors de-
cIded TO eliminate all courses Of study
that tended in that direction and TO
emphasize hereafter only those studies
that tended 10 give the students In
teilectuaI discipline and a broad gem
eral culture. The classics. the liberal
arts and sciences will be emphasized
in the courses. BY this means the
board hopes to make the college a
center Of culture that will turn on,
men with trained intellects and true
force OF character.
There Is grave danger, In pushing
the unitarian and vocational idea
that our colleges will become mere
factories for turning out human ma.
chimes.
II is true that 10 a large majority
Of the students that enter our college,
cultural education means nothing
Colleges that train for definite yoca
tons must be provided for these stu
dents. But there must also be som
institutions which train men for polIti
cal and philosophic leadership VI
must have men who are capable 0
keeping alive the fine arts n our coun
lty Is ever TO become anything but
money bag.

Newspapers and Wall Street.

1 - I-"-~~~ ~
Joseph Pulitzer, publisher OF the
New York World bought $1,000.
600 Of the Panama IS at the govern
ment sale. He bid 1927. Pulitzer
makes about a million year out OF
his newspaper, and as his income is
largely in excess OF his rather modest
needs, he is one OF Wall streets best
customers. He has accumulated
large lines of railroad securities and
some industrials. He buys them all
for investment: he has no taste for
speculation. In. fact, one of his hob
bies is the abolition Of margin specu-
lation. His newspaper is constantly
hammering Wall street, especially
the stock exchange. II has been do
ing this for 20 years. The World IS
always keen to attack corporations
and vested interests, and ii makes no
difference whose toes II treads on.
Not long ago the World trained, its
guns on corporation in which the
Webbs and the yanderbilts were
deeply interested. despite the fact
that Joseph Pulitzer's son, Ralph,
married Webb and is socially ambi-
tious, Pulitzer's orders to his editors
are that the World has no friends to
protect.
The owners of all the big New
York papers are pretty much inter
ested In Wall street. William Ran
dolph Hearst OF the Journal, despite
all his violent attacks on Wall street,
is believer in Wall street and In
stock exchange speculation. His
vested interests are so large that he
knows there is no limit to attacks on
property. In the money panic OF
1907 Hearst came ont in page edi-
torial telling his readers that Wall
street was all right. Frank Munsey,
owner OF newspapers and magazines,
is not only a large owner OF securi-
ties. but he is one of the biggest
spectators the street has ever seen.
He gets his inspiration largely from
George Perkins.
James Gordon Bennett. who. like
Pulitzer, Is an absentee landlord, has
always directed the policies OF the
New York Herald with an eye on the
markets. He is not much OF spec
ulator, but he is largely interested In
American securities. After the panic
Of 1907 he conducted vigorous cam
paign in his newspaper for monthz
urging investors to put their savings
into securities.
To control newspaper Is the am
bition OF nearly every captain OF fin
ance, but those who have invested In
newspaper properties have usually
discovered that a subsidized paper
soon becomes Of no value Henry r..
Rogers owned newspaper for a
while, he was glad when he had a
chance to get his money out OF It.
George W. Perkins backed an even
ing paper; so did James ]. Hill. Nor
gan. in Laffan's time had a consider
able interest in the Sun; Bernard NJ.
Barnch once tried TO buy the Times.

test. The old saloon with its associa-
tion Of crime and vice passed away
when the prohibition law came into
effect, but the near-beer saloon took
its place in many parts OF the state.
1t is true that some of these places
were kept clear Of vice and run in a
reputable manner But attendance
upon the sittings of a recorders court
In almost any town OF the state would
convince any one that these places
were the centers from which large
part OF the crime committed in the
community radiated. 1t was in con-
nection, either direct or indirect with
these places that the greater part of
the illegal sales of whlskey were
made. The gruesome murder recently
committed in Granville county in con-
nection with one of these places
brought home In an Impressive man
ner to the people of this section the
criminal aspect of near-beer saloons.
With the elimination of the near
beer saloons the last hang-out place
of the saloon element has passed.
What other center this element will
congregate around remains to be seen.
and the workings of the real prohibit
ton law will be watched with much
interest from this time forth.

Men sometimes dream of enormous
wealth stored on the earth below
the reach of miners. but experts SAY
that there Is little or no grounds TO
believe that valuable metallic de-
posits lie very deep in the carth's
crust. Such deposits, II Is said. are
made by underground waters. and
owing 70 the pressure Of rocks al
great depths the waters are confined
TO shell near the surface. With a
few exceptions. ore deposits become
too lean to repay working below g.
900 feet. Nine mines IN ten. taking
the Shole AS whole are poorer in
the second thousand feet than In tho
