desert country around Ell Centro and
Imperial, where he makes his home,
too warm at this season of the year,

in the surf and enjoying the delights
of that resort, after months on the
desert, the author himself is breathing
in local color for his new novel at the

SLIDE IN CULEBRA Is
MENACINC WORK ON CANAL

COLON, July 10.-Fearing that Gu
Zebra cut will be flooded, engineers of
the isthmian canal commission ars
taking extraordinary precautions to
combat the latest earth slide that had
developed at Culebra.
Several million cubic yards of earth
already has moved and the clearing
OF this amount will take the work OF
one steam shovel for an entire year
The real menace lies in the fact that
the slide extends to within few feet
OF the east division, an artificial chan.
mel designed to keep streams from
overfiowing the cut
If the slide reaches this division the
cut is certain to be flooded and the
effect on the big Panama ditch would
prove disastrous. A smaller diversion
is being dug, but engineers are fear
full their work will not be completed

THE TIME HAS COME FOR
ACTION.

The presidential election being
over and all the disturbing inau-
ences which prevail during a presi-
Dental year being past, the people
OF the whole country will now go
forward with all the enterprises
which have been delayed and the
hum OF industry OF every kind will
be once more heard in the land
Let Grants Pass and Josephine
county be among the first to inaugu-
rate the period Of prosperity which
is now due. We have mines and
farms to develop, railroads to build
and a thousand and one things TO do
to make ready for the many families
who will locate among us If we will
but extend TO them an invitation. 1t
Is encouraging 20 note that our COM
mercial club understands the import
ance Of the better conditions which
prevail and is getting ready TO do
It's share to bring our industries TO
the front BE 1t remembered that if
We would act effectively there must
be unity Of purpose and the way to
do this is to support every effort
which this commercial organization
is making to bring about desired re-
suits.

WASHINGTON, Nov. III was
very hopeful that the result would be
different. l was surprised at tho
strength shown by Roosevelt"
Thus declared President Taft here
today in discussing the result of the
late election. He added.
Il had hoped we would pull
through but was not in condition
of mind to be greatly disappointed by
defeat. The difficulty l find in the
progressive program is that it con-
templates the impossible If the
country could stand the burden, /
would like to see the attempt made
in order that the people might learn
he hollowness and impracticability
and sham character Of many OF their
promises

ernment is the division of the people

has not yet been learned whether this
disease is always due to the bite Of a
fly just as yellow fever is always due
to the bite of a mosquito, but science
has determined that the fiy can carry
this disease and that of itself is a
wonderful discovery.
Many parts OF the country have
suffered from the ravages Of infantile
paralysis and during the summer just
passed many children have died from
its effects. It is a terrible disease and
when it does not kill, it often Grip
pies for life. It is said that when a
child takes this paralysis, there is
little that can be done toward curing
it. II flies really carry the disease,
It will be a long step toward preven-
ton. All that will be necessary is to
keep these deadly insects out of every
house and protect children from in
fection on the outside This discovery
is certainly highly important, and We
can look for further information
along this line

have too long been neglected, they
Will realize that they are to a large

tions
The whole truth is that the young
men and, for that matter, the young
women Of the city are not given the
protection which it is their right to
receive at the hands Of the professei-
ly good people Of this enlightened
community. II the better element of
society will join together and pro-
vide reading rooms, gymnasiums, or
places where the young can spend
their idle hours, much good can be
accomplished. This subject should
be taken up at an early day and Civ

demands. We are trying to build

PROGRESSIVES SHOULD BE CON
GRADUATED.

The results prove that over 1000
600 votes were cast for Roosevelt
which is a fun million more than
Taft received. The old republican
party was thoroughly punished for
the sins it's managers committed in
the Chicago convention. Not only by
the progressive vote is this shown,
but by the fact that Wilson was elect
ed by disgruntled republicans. From
now on the discredited republican
managers are out of politics
Had the progressive party been in
the field 80 days before it was, its
vote would have been much larger.
An analysis shows that the republi-
cans cast but one fifth of the total
vote and was a bad third in the race.
Nothing but commendation can be
given to the progressives in every
state where they had an opportunity
to do good work.

KATHARINE RIDGEWAY

lea,

During the spring of 1911 and
1912, when Katharine Ridgeway, of
the Ridgeway Concert company, soon
to appear here was in Yellowstone
Park, she was called on one evening
TO give some of her readings in the
camp near the Upper Geyser Basin.
The guide, who was minister,
recognized Miss Ridgeway, as she had
once appeared on the lyceum course
at his church, and insisted that she
entertain the party with at least one
or two of her selections.
There were about 200 people pres
ent from all parts of the country.
Out of this number there were A
who had heard of her before in ly-
ceum courses throughout America.
Not only did she give some of her
readings to the delight of this out
door audience but she gave a little
talk at the close of the program on
the animals of Yellowstone Park,
drawing some lessons along lines of
humane treatment of animals, which
is a favorite subject of hers
The Katharine Ridgeway company
will appear at the opera house Sat
urday, November 10th, as the second
and best number Of the lyceum
course put on this season by the

discussion of this highly important
suggestion, Below will be found the
letter in question:
Editor Courier: l noticed few

per about the deficiency of good spell
ers in our schools. In that relation
I should like to have a few opinions
on the question What is the Matter
With Our School SYSTEM
TO open up the question will
make a few statements.
Our schools, and especially our
high schools have only one end in
view; that is to prepare the student
for college.
of the many who enter the high
school as freshmen, what per cent
graduate.
"of those who graduate, how many
( 20 to college.
What about the student who does
mot intend to so to college, or those
who are unable to do so. Are not
the high schools training up the child
in the way he should not.go?

taxpayers are not getting our
moneys worth when it comes to edu-
eating our children.
