Judge Continues Work for Road Bonds.

County Judge Geo. d. Culbertson,
since the Jackson county bonds, ac-
cording to the decision Of the Supreme
court, would have been valid if proper
ly drawn, will endeayor to initiate a
petition to have a road bond issue for
this county voted on at the general
election here in November. In order
to ascertain what procedure to follow
Judge CulbeItsOn has written to Attor-
ney General A. NJ. Crawford.
While the road bond issue will have
a number Of supporters, from former
sentiment and in view Of the fact that
the election will also contain bills for
proper road legislation, it is improb-
able that county bond issue would
receive any great support.

THE BOY NnITS


With press notices in all the papers
Of the country relative to the visit Of
General Baden Powell. who is making
tour Of the world in the interest OF
the Boy Scout movement. which was
originated by him a number Of years
ago, ana the news Of the visit to Port
land last week Of the Hood River
troops Of Boy Scouts, has created an
interest among local people in the or
ganization. The question has been
asked. Gust what Is the Boy Scont

current that it was a semi-military
organization and because Of this an
settling national disputes. He claims
that nothing is accomplished by war in
advancing right. in stimulating the
public respect for both law and moral
ity.
"But, as a soldier. the general right
" values the force of discipline-that
which enables men to act in unison for
accomplishment Of definite purpose.
The Boy Scouts are to learn this lesson
Of effectiveness, and TO apply il to
opposing sentiment has been created.
Inded, some of the friends Of the
movement in England and this country
have injured the prestige OF the Scouts
by fayoring the military tendency.
However, the movement is distinctly
unmlitary in its principles Its aim is
to create in its members initiative
action II is true that discipline must

cipine must be the foundation of any
successful organization.
Growing boys must have some form
of activity. 1t is natural for them to
become interested in something that
will consume the surplus energy. Left
to their own free will it is possible
that this choice may prove an unfor
tunate one. Older men, who we're
boys before the Scout organization,
will recall their days Of robber caves
and trysting places, the water fights in
the swimming pool and hunting expe-
ditions. These were all very well, and
the memory of them is pleasant. But
add to these youthful diversions part- |
cipated in by boys the principle that
gives the lad feeling of responsible !
ity. He becomes imbued with the idea
that he is part of an organization,
which is really nation wide. The
principles of the Scouts teach them
that all Of the activities are for pur-
pose, that of making character and
body as strong as possible and thus to
best benefit himself, his friends and
his country. Free from any feeling of
spontaneous outbursts
of youthful feeling may lead to mis-
chief. As member OF the Scouts the
boy will be more careful.
