ure will probably be before the coun-
Gil at the next meeting. It's passage
depends upon the strength of the re-
dictionary wing of the council, the
members of which are working hard
to defeat the measure, in playing the
game of tenas politics, while tha
progressives realize the true economy
in the plan and wish to give it few
months trial. Whether the creation
of the Office will effect the beneficial
results aimed at will depend entirely
upon the wording of the ordinance
in the first place, and the person who
takes the position. This person will
have to organize the job, and will set
precedents for his SUCCESSORS, as It
is tolerably certain that once adopt
ed, the plan will not be abandoned,
as long as the city tolerates the an
tiquated ward system Of government.

he hurried into Seattle to inform his
principals.
All Washington company stock has
been withdrawn from the market and
an official of the company this week

News Welcome, But Not Unexpected
News of this strike is not unexpect-
ed to those who have followed the
prospecting operations on the Penin-
sula, and it is generally accepted as .
fact for the very good reason that
there is no motive for sending out
a false report of this kind. The Wash
ington Oil company had sold sufficient
stock to insure the sinking of the
we'll some time ago, and had with
drawn it from the market, consequent
ly the report could not have been sent
out for stock jobbing purposes.
The fact is that all geolOgists and
oil experts who have examined this
field gave the opinion that oil existed
there, and that it was only a question:
of drilling to find it in commercial
quantity. AS the well at the Forks
was deepest, it was naturally expect
ed to make the first strike, and the
prospects at the we'll of the Jefferson
Oil company, on the Hob river, and
that of the Indian company at Gas
Mound are equally bright. 1t will be
noted that neither of those companies
are offering stock for sale, they hav-
ing funds with which to prospect and
are content with the showing.
Indian Leases Approved
Since the order of the Indian de.
partnent holding up the execution ct
oil leases on the Quniault Indian res
ervation, much dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed by the applicants, many Of
whom had long since sent their mon
ey to the department, and rested easy
in the belief that the arrival of the
leases only depended upon the un-
winding of the usual amount of red
tape The records of the department
show that but four leases, embracing
14,725 acres of land, have been ap-
proved the lessees of which are:
Sterling B, Hill, Seattle, 2529.12 acres,
f. A. Leonard, Snohomish, 4556.62
acres; A. w. Lane, Seattle, 2840 acres
and Geo. F. Stone, Seattle, 1890 acres.

The session Of the city council
Wednesday night dealt with little Of
general import, the chief features OF
the evening being the decision to pur
purchase another auto truck for the
fire department, which it is planned
will do away with horses in this de-
partment entirely, and permit several
men less than the present number

The clerk was directed to adver-
tise for bids for the new auto, which
will be required to carry at least L.
900 feet of hose and be able to de-
liver not less than $50 gallons of wa.

for taking in trade the Metropolitan

LOGGER'S LEG ALMOST
SEVERED By CABLE

HOQUIAM, Oct. 23.-Peter Grand,
we'll known woodsman employed in
the North Western Lumber company's
camp No. near Electric park. had
his left leg almost cut off just above
the ankle Wednesday afternoon, when
he was caught in a cable that was
being used in moving a donkey en-
gine. The lower part of the limb
hung only by small bit of flesh and
skin when he was released by com
panions, but the attending physicians
believe it will be possible to save
the foot, though the wound is a very
serious compound facture.

THE CYNosURE.

Like any other citizen of Gary
Mayor-elect Johnson realizes that the
eyes of the whole state especially
will be upon his administration. And
there will be widespread interest ex-
hibited elsewhere. For a long time
ii has been said that the model city
has been in need of reform admins
traton- The old regime is to go and
the new one will shortly take its
place.
If Mayor Knots was closely watch
ed for mistakes Mayor Johnson will
be the object of closer scrutiny. No
doubt he is giving serious attention
to the business of selecting efficient
department heads and employees for
his appointments in this connection
will be a pretty definite criterion OF
the policy of the new government.
Gary was founded as a model city
and the interest taken in 1t is inter
national. Cities twenty times its
size do not command so much atten-
ton as this experiment of the
twentieth century and the new mayor
indeed has a task that is a mans job

WHAT HE DID.

Well the defeated ones are certain
ly pussy-footing it after Jobs. Lots
of persons often wonder what be-
comes of defeated candidates after
election. We seem to have got on
the track of one through the Kansas
City Star, which says:-"Old Man
Blowloud is always telling about
what a power he was In politics
back East and how the people used
TO thrust all kinds of honors upon
him. I saw a man the other who
was raised with Blowloud and knew
all about him. He told me the only
job the old liar ever held back there
was extra janitor at the sehoolhouse
during part of one unusually cold
winter"

making of a paper takes into consid-
Grafton the leaving out of matter quite
as the putting in of matter. Indeed.
it may be said that the successful
editor is the one who knows what
not to print.
Then, a publication of list of
non-givers might do injustice TO
many people. and above all things a
newspaper should not do injustice 10
any one. No man is a judge of who
should give and when he should give.
Persons whom the public may believe
to be able to contribute to every
cause, but who refuse to do so, may
have excellent reasons for so doing.
No one knows the obligations of the
other fellow-nor his charities
There are people who go through this
old world with a reputation for Civ
| ing never a penny to worthy causes
and yet who have Their private chart
| ties which actually keep them in q
state of straitened circumstances
There are supposedly rich people who
have obligations which keep theil
noses to the grindstone. SO it might
Happen that the publication of Ger.
tain persons name in list of non.
gfvers would be a serious injustice tt
that person.

However, if some member of this

surprising Information. For instance
to my personal knowledge. the gar

ADVERSE PUBLICITY.

For a large and influential news
paper the Washington Times makes a
very silly break. 1t publishes a list
of those who have subscribed to a
fund to bring conventions to the
capital and then wants to know what
would be the matter with printing
the names of those who haven't sub
scribed.
OF course, such proceeding would
be foolish.
In the first place, 1t would SAVIOR
too much of blackmail Many per-
sons would consider a request for
money under such circumstances as 9
threat that If they did not contribute
they would be held up to public ridi.
Guile through the publication of their
names in the list of non-givers Ant
certainly no newspaper wants t.
leave the impression that it doe.
anything through blackmail ever
though the ends may be the mos
laudable.
Besides. if it came to a question o
giving unfavorable publicity, n,
newspaper is big enough to includ
all of those who have earned tina
kind of publicity Every newspape
Knows quite enough which 1t Nigh

THEY WANT TO BE BRAKES.
By CHARLES N. LURE.

Every one who knows anything about
the world knows that it moves in an
elliptical orbit around the sun. The
path of the world has been calculated
with nice exactitude by the astrono-
mers. OF course way, way back In the
mental woods there are folks who are
so far behind that they still think the
sun revolves around the earth.
But they do not count.
Neither do those who think that the
world moves, but that its progress is
In a straight line forward, and that
they can retard it by getting In the
way.
II you are one OF these, step aside,
lest the world run over you.
OF such is the man in a southern
state who would not pay bis share Of
the increased taxes demanded by his
county for a new schoolhouse. He
went in the night and applied the torch
to the building.
Foolish man! The school will be
rebuilt, despite his opposition. and the
children of his county will have the
benefit of newer and better quarters
In which to study.
Once there was a governor of Vir-
ginia In the old colonial days who said
referring TO the colony:
Thank God, there are no free schools
nor printing presses, and hope there
| will be none for a hundred years, fol
| learning has brought disobedience and
heresy and sects into the world. and
| printing has divulged these and other
| libels''
| He was rare old fossil, wasn't he?
| The world moved on and past him
| even In bis own day, for the plant
ers of Virginia resented bis bfgoted
narrow minded views and had the king
recall him. Even in that day, wher
| the light of learning had not shed its
| rays very far. he was too far out in the
| darkness for his fellow virginians.
/ 1t is encouraging to observe that his
latter day follower. the southern mar
| who burned the schoolhouse, is one OF
| a very small minority in his own com
munity, and prompt falling followed
his deed.
/ The opponents of book learning,
4 once common, are now scarce. Ever
those who themselves have derived lit
tie or no benefit from the teachings OF
the ages, crystallized in books. admit
that for others the written word ha.

which the mind of the nonprogressiv'
man moves He viii not see or admi

Here we must pause IN max
ing jestful comment on the do
ings on the stage of life to re-
cord the passing of one. who for
ninety years took part In it's fit
full drama. On Saturday the Rev.
Timothy III. Ball died in Alabama.
1t was in the early thirties of
the last century that the little
minister came to these parts.
His people settled at City West
and his death wipes out the last
survivor of that community in
the sand dunes. once the rival of
Chicago and Michigan City for
supremacy in the west. This man
saw City West sink down. for
gotten; he sympathized with the
other rival in it's seventy-five
years of disappointment: and
from nearby he saw the birth
and growth of one of the worlds
greatest cities. Timothy Ball has
left US in book form the early
history of this part of Indiana.
He was a spectator of that OF
which he wrote: for history here
only began when he and other
pioneers arrived. 1t was he who
predicted years ago that these
silent marshes and barren dunes
would one day become a great
industrial center. During the
span of Timothy Balls life the
world has gone throug hwonder-
full changes. It was his lot to
witness a transformation that the
people OF no other age saw. The
world has grown better in that
time. And Timothy Ball all his
life helped to make 1t better.
