exciting and hotly contested election,
the people OF New Orleans. which has
q population Of SS9,o75. voted In favor
of the commission. II It shall prove to
be effective there, doubtless other
cities OF like population and condi.
tons will adopt the plan. The essence
Of the commission plan Of govern
ment Is to be found In the short bal
lot. With fewer offices to be filled
and fewer candidates TO be voted for.
and fewer axes to be ground, there
will be better opportunity to guard
the polls and choose the best Of the
men offering for public station. In the
last analysis, however. the cause of
good and efficient municipal govern.
ment, as all other government. rests
with the people, on their intelligence
and character and fitness for citizen
ship. A stream rises no higher than
Its source.
"Unquestionably, the new form has
proven its efficiency and its adapta-
bility to modern needs in nearly every
instance. Its chief claim to popular
favor is that 1t provides the means
of managing public affairs with the
same attention to details and with the
same regard to the small economies
as have been found necessary in the
conduct of large business belonging
to private or semi-public corporations
or to individuals. II means the simpli-
fication of municipal administration,
1t brings the administration into
closer touch with the people, it fixes
the responsibility for the acts of pub
lie servants, ii concentrates author
ity and makes il possible for the peo-
pie who are governed to reach the
men who govern. A writer in the
Yale Review has summed up some of
the advantages of the system by
showing that the shortening Of the
ballot simplifies the machinery of
nomination. deals a powerful blow to
this old system of monopoly'-the
monopoly of nomination, which was
one of the chief assets OF the pollti-
cian."

COMMERCIAL CLUB GETS THREE SILVER CUPS $4,000 IN NURSERY
STOCK AND $25O.OO CASH AT PORTLAND SHOW

The victory won by Ashland at the
Northwest Land Products Show at
Portland last week grows bigger and
bigger as the facts become known.
d. NJ. Lowe returned Tuesday fore
noon from Portland bringing with
him the Louis Hill cup and the
Southern Pacific cup. He also brings
word that Ashland secures fine sill

mercial Club in addition to $3.50
cash, and also 500 worth of nursery
stock offered by a nursery firm. Mr.
Lowe was nearly sick from his ex-
ertions in caring for the exhibit and
in answering the questions of the
people. He states that the Ashland
exhibit was by far the drawing card
of the fair, and the crowds around
it were frequently so great that the
police had to clear the aisles.

Finds Long-Lost Wife.

Stockton, Cal, Nov. 27.-Twenty-
two years ago Fred L. Thompson
took to himself a bride in San Fran
cisco. Removing to Portland, the
couple suffered i'll fortune through
the husband having been out of work
at times. Returning one day after
fruitless search for employment,
Thompson left note for his absent
wife, telling her he was going to
some other city to seek employment.
The house burned during the wife's
absence and she never received the
note. After a time she concluded
she had been deserted. She married
Frank X. Burton. They settled in
this county, The second husband
died four years ago. Thompson, in
the meantime, had been endeavoring
to locate his wife. He found her last
Thursday. They will re-marry and
begin life all over.

The Baraca class of the Baptist
Sunday school has taken up the sport
of basketball, and since the scheme
was broached some time ago by V. o.
N. Smith, the teacher of the class, it
has proven very popular and large
accession has been made to the mem
bership of the class. The members
practice at the Natatorium twice a
week and are developing some very
rapid players. They have been for
some time trying to get games with
teams representing similar organiza-
tions and have taken on Central
Point Y. NJ. C. A., the game to be
played at Central Point on Friday
evening of this week. AS the Cen
trail Point team is light the BaTacas
have agreed to play no men weighing
over 125 pounds.
Mr.. Smith has taken the matter of
a city church or Sunday school league
up with other Sunday school workers
in the city and there is reported to
be strong prospect of at least one
more team being organized The
boys are not particularly out for
glory, but hope for some good clean
sport and are going to do their best
to win the game Friday evening.

ASHLAND IS SUNNY
Granite City Bathed in Sunshine
While Lower Valley is Shroud-
ed in Fog.

Monday is reported to have been
one of the worst days in years for
fog in the lower part of the Rogue
river valley, yet in Ashland it was
sunshiny most of the day and at no
time was the fog dense. The Med
ford Sun of Tuesday morning says:
"The heaviest fog in years in
southern Oregon settled over the
Rogue river valley Monday, causing
several near accidents between wag-
ons and automobiles and slowing
up of the schedule on the Southern
Pacific passenger trains, all north
and south bound trains reaching Med
ford from an hour to thirty minutes
late. The fog belt extended from the
state line to near Roseburg and last
ed all day, an unusual feature.
According to the weather report,
the humidity for the day was 100 per
cent, meaning all fog. After sun
down it began to moisten and was
soon transformed into a fine Oregon
mist. In mid-afternoon it was dens-
est, causing the street lights to be
turned on at o'clock, with the arc
lights in service about the same
time" az

Oregonian, Nov. %: Madame
Harriet Labadie, interpreting THE
Great Galeoto'' last night from a
small rostrum in the ballroom at the
Multnomah Hotel, performed a mira
Gle of dramatic suggestion. Alone,
by the force of her personality and
by the mystery of her voice, she peo-
pied her meager stage with half a
dozen characters, so real, so distinct
in their personalities, so intense in
the conflict of their varied wills, that
her audience forgot the reader be-
fore them and lived through the
drama, as intent and rapt as though
all of the different people in the
Spanish tragedy were moving and
speaking before them upon a full-set
stage.
