ne Falue OF pubic parks and

our cities timely provision Tor parks
10 usually overlooked until business
and material interests nave so much
encroached on the available spaces
that their conversion into parks is
so expensive as to be almost prohi-
bitory. In consequence, these lungs
of the cities are utterly inadequate
in too many places. While 1t is true
that the health of the workers in
city is one OF its most valuable as
sets from a purely material point OF
view, as conducting to efficiency and
increased output, yet it is a matter
CT slow and difficult progress to
bring the business portion of the
community to realize the direct inn
portance of matter which, at first
sight, seems to affect them so re-
motely. The Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association says that
the movement for parks and play
grounds belongs to preventive med
icine, in the modern conception of
that subject. 1t is therefore the OPP
portunity and the duty of the physi-
clan as public spirited citizen to-
exercise foresight in this matter and
to use his influence in securing ade-
quate parks, Fairgrounds and
breathing spaces Tor the people.

BILL WOULD
Benefit The
STATE FAIR

If a bill now introduced in the
house of representatives and re.
ferred to the agriculture committee,
passes that body and the United
States senate, there will flow from
the federal treasury and into that of
the state fair board the snug sum of
100000 to be used in the promotion
of agricultural, horticultural and in
dustrial interests, ard the erection of
a suitable building to be used for
their display.
The bill was brought before the
convention of the American associa-
ton of fairs and expositions held in
Chicago the early part of last month.
That association after considering it,
sanctioned 1t and recommended that
1t be passed by the congress I'M
mediately thereafter followed it's in
PRODUCTION.
The bill provides that the appro-
priation shall inure only to the use
of those states which now or here
fater shall by statute recognize and
make appropriations toward the es-
tablishment of state fairs upon land
owned and controlled by the state.
The further provision is made that
the appropriation must be accepted
by legislative enactment and that I'M
mediately thereafter the money will
be available and the building be con-
structed. Not to exceed 20 per cent
of the floor space will be used by the
federal government for its exhibits.

MRS. BUHLE
TAINTED IN
COURT ROOM

Unable to bear up under the ques-
tioning of the attorneys-mild and
easy as they were-Mrs. Mary Jane
Buhle, while giving testimony in the
case brought by herself against Sher-
If Minto and Coolidge & McClain,
bankers, Of Silverton, tainted on the
witness stand this morning in the cir
cult court.
Mrs Buhl is suffering from a bad
heart, and, realizing this, the attor-
neys for the defense, as we'll as her
own attorneys made the ordeal as
easy as possible. She seemed to have
stood it all right until the time came
for her to leave the stand, when she
found herself unable to rise, and
tainted dead away.
She was taken to the judges cham
ber, and DR.. Brewer summoned. She
was still occupying a couch in the
chamber at noon, but was feeling
much better
The case was brought by Mrs. Buhl
to replevin 16 bales of hops attached
by the bank Judge Kelly, after list
ening to the evidence, granted the mo-
tion of the defense for a non-suit.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Greater eff.
ficiency and more economical meth
ods in the administration of the bust
ness of the government was urged to-
day by President Taft in a special
message to congress.
Enabled to investigate public bust
ness by an appropriation of 100000
made June 25, 1910, the president ap-
pointed a commission ON economy
and efficiency, and as a result of
their work the message was submit
ted. The commission, the president
says, has entered upon the prepare
ton of three separate tabulations
The first deals with the manner in
which the services of the government
would be grouped into the depart
ment; the second and third series of
reports deal with the activities of
particular services and the form of
organization for the performance of
business operations,
Among the recommendations of
the commission is that the revenue
cutter service, which costs the gov.
ernent $2,5O0,OOO each year, be abol-
ished and it's work performed by
other services. The commission es-
Inmates that this would save 81 ,0O0-
600 year. The commission also
urges that the lighthouse and life
saving services be administered by
single bureau instead of, as at pres
ent, by two bureaus located in differ
ent departments. This would save
100000 annually.
Another abolition recommended is
that of the returns office of the de
partment of the interior 1t was also
pointed out that whereas the annual
transportation cost to the government
is about $12,OOO,OOO, the country gets
no consideration from the public
carrier. The president advocates
more business-like methods in ar
ranging for and paying for these
services.
In closing his message, which
deals with a multitude of govern
mental business matters, the presi-
dent declares that the cost of the 81.
fiency commissions services during
the present fiscal year is at the rate
Of S130O00. He asbs that congress-
appropriation for the work be in
creased to 100000 and that an ad-
1itional $4,000 should be provided FOR
the publication of the results of th-
work.
