Radium Can Now Be Bottled.

Sir Frederick Treves has just made
announcement to the Radium Insti-
tute in London of most important
discovery in connection with radio
activity. He said that the experts
working at the institute have sue
ceedei in bottling radium emanations
in such a way that they can be
shipped anywhere and used for cura-
tive purposes in place of the metal
itself. Owing to the enormous cost
OF radium, Austria recently paid $37,-
600 for a gramme. Treatment has
been limited to comparatively few
cases, but in future the doctor will
be able to obtain bottled rays at a
small cost, using them in exactly the
same way and with the same results
as in the case of the metal itself
1t is also announced that a method
has been discovered of charging wa
ter with the emanations and that re-
markable cures have apparently been
effected by it's means.

FabIe for Ought.to.Be Advertisers

Fable for Ought-tO-Be Advertisers.
This fable is printed by a Kansas
newspaper for the benefit of its ad
vertisers and those who ought to be:
In a certain barnyard there were
two hens, one of which when she laid
an egg cackled because she knew she
had good thing and wanted others
to know it. That hen believed in
advertising. And many were the
breakfasts her enterprise supplied.
When the other hen laid eggs she
disdained to cackle What's the
use?" she said. Everybody knows l
lay eggs" And she cackled not. One
day the owner Of the hens by accident
discovered the nest OF the noiseless
one, and it was full of eggs. but they
were too old to use. and Immediately
he cut off the head of the hen that
refused TO be modern" and adver-
tise.

to be named by Chairman Colvig.
This committee is to report at a
meeting to be held at Grants Pass
on November 6. If naught goes
awry-and how can anything go
awry with such a splendid people in
tent upon one idea?-the visitors to
the fair will see at the border of
Oregon, at Ashland, wonderful ex-
hibit of Oregon's products; not SIM
ply an exhibit of Rogue river, not an
exhibit of the resources even of west
ern Oregon, but an exhibit represent
ing the entire state.
'AH Parts of State Welcome.
Eastern Oregon will have as good
a showing as western Oregon; the
Deschutes Valley will be as welcome
to make a display as the Umpqua
Valley or the Willamette Valley. The
central, pivotal and guiding idea is
to get settlers upon Oregon lands.
What a splendid idea What a
splendid beginning to carry it out!
1t may mean much to Ashland, but
that city is the entry port and is en-
titled to all the glory to be reaped
from such exhibits.
But in broader, wider, more lib
eral sense Ashland will stand for all
Oregon; and all Oregon will reap
great benefits from the display made
to the visitors who come into or go
out of our state over the Southern
Pacific Railway. The movement is
in its infancy. 1t is a child of the
Portland Commercial Club, en-
gineered by Tom Richardson, and
may it go and bring forth all of the
results hoped for by the splendid
people of this wonderful Rogue River
Valley"

CONFIDENCE BEGETs OPTIMISM

With the cooler weather and au-
tumn sunshine business has material
ly increased, and merchants feel
more optimistic. Men are better
able to accomplish results in any line
when they are part of an optimistic
community. Confidence begets con-
fidence.
The natural disposition is to give
it up when times look blue. When
ever an enthusiastic person displays
the least sign of optimism there are
always a dozen ready to, say You
can't do it," Men who deal in
''can'ts" never accomplish anything.
Can" is the thing that does the
work. And it is unfortunate for the
man who thinks he can to be ever
lastingly bombarded by men who live
on "cants." Confidence begets con-
fidence.
Optimism, confidence, faith-these
are indeed the foundations of real
prosperity. 1t matters not how rich
people, how great their resources,
once they lose faith in themselves,
in their power to press on to bigger
things, prosperity begins to slip away
and period of inaction and inertia
sets in from which it is hard to rally.
But optimism avails little unless it
passes straight through from top to
bottom OF community-unless II
permeates the average citizen. "Con-
fidence begets confidence" Let
these words sink into your mind; tell
them to your neighbors and your
friends, to everyone you meet.
Tell them that Ashland has a nat.
ural potentiality that is going to be
developed that will make it a pros.
porous city of thirty thousand peo
ple Tell them we are going to de-
velop it. That it can and will be
done. Do not take the negative side
and growl cant" 1t is hare
enough on the working bees of the
hive to carry the load with the
drones loading them down will
"can'ts" Confidence begets conf
dence. 1t can and will be done.

Stand by Your
Town Newspaper

The Scott Valley Advance, pub
lished at Etna Mills, Cal, has the
following which is just as applicable
to larger town as it is to a smaller
one:
Stand by your town newspaper.
If there is anything in your town
worth talking about, ten chances to
one your town paper had a hand in
putting it there, and if there exists
any unsightly or unsavory nuisance
twenty chances to one it will stay
there until your town editor sees it
or smells it and wipes his pen on
the town boards breeches. If any
body beyond the walls of your burg
ever learns that there is such a place
as Etna it will be through the town
oracle.
Every town gets it's moneys
worth in the town newspaper. It's
a wagon that carries all your good
things to market. 1t ought to be
kept in good repair. In many cases
it would pay to grease it, paint it.,
keep it's running gear in shape and
shelter it at the public expense.
Stand by your town newspaper.
It's the guardian and defender of
every interest, the. forerunner and
pioneer of every advance movement
and the sturdy advocate of law and
order. Take it away and it would
not be six months before the town
would look as if it had been doped.
Business would drag, society would
yawn, and grass would grow between
the cobbles.
Long lie the town newspaper"

History in the Making

ing cars. The principle now spoken
of is one of suddenly cooling the fish
in sea water filtered through willow
charcoal, to which is added brown
sugar and sufficient salt to prevent
ice formation. After two hours in
this tank the fish have a coating
which makes them ready for ship
ment in either packages or barrels.
The process is based on the theory
that putrefaction of fish is first
caused by bone taint, which is pre-
vented by removing the specific or
animal heat from the fish to be
cured. If the two weeks claim holds
good it will mean that fresh" fish
can be shipped for enormous dis
tances.

Canal as Project of the People.

SdufA as II EOJCCO VI Tic COliCs
October 10, 1913, will be printed
in gold letters on the calendars of
time as marking one of the greatest
events in the annals of man. With
the blowing up of Bamboo dixie, the
last ridge of earth across the Pan
ANA canal, the American continents
were severed and the Pacific and At
lantic oceans welded. The occasion
was marked by great outbursts of ma
tional enthusiasm and was made the
subject of unanimous commentator
throughout the press of the world.
There is no need in these notes to
record the details of the dramatic
spectacle, but it is interesting to OBJ
serve some distinctive features OF the
celebrations. They were more than
rejoicing over the achievements of
American engineers-they were the
jubilation of a people who were
themselves participants in the gigan-
tic enterprise. Hitherto such ven
lures have been the projects of kings
or governments, but Panama repre-
sented a project of the American peo-
pie. Their voices were heard in the
earliest negotiations of the undertake
ing, and they followed closely every
step in the excavations; at all times
approving the additional expenditures
rendered nevessary by unforeseen
circumstances, they are now proud
beyond measure in the ultimate sue
cess. No other nation could have af-
forded such a colossal sum, and prob
ably no other nation would have pre-
served its spirit so undaunted
throughout the delays and difficult
ties. Looking to the future, it is not
too much to say that the opening of
the Panama canal will stand out in
histories like such world events as
the rise of Rome, the fall of Constan-
tinople and the cutting of the Suez
canal. 1t will be noted as marking
world changes of equal if not greater
Importance, since it is beyond ques-
ton that Panama means a reshifting
of the center of gravity in commercial
affairs.

Engineering Triumph on Mississippi.

Engineering Triumph on Mississippi
A great engineering feat has just
been accomplished by the Missouri
Valley Bridge and Iron Company by
the transportation of two spans in
the Wabash Railroad bridge across
the Mississippi river at Hannibal, Mo.
The draw span, near the center of
the river, was taken out intact, float
ed on barges and installed in the
place of fixed span near the Mis-
souri, shore, while the fixed span also
was taken out intact, floated on
barges and installed in the place
formerly occupied by the draw
span. The weight of the draw span
is 500 tons, while the weight of the
fixed span is 325 tons. The actual
time taken in the transfer was only
a matter of few hours, but the pre-
liminary arrangements required two
years. A curious feature of the work
was that the barges containing the
spans were first floated out near the
fixed spans, then filled with water,
which caused them to lie low until
it was necessary to raise them, which
was done by gradually pumping out
the water until they rose to the nec-
essary elevation. There was neither
accident nor delay, and within six
hours the train service was resumed
over the bridge.

Salem, Ore.-The progressive party

of State Olcott. The Bull Moosers
polled 20 per cent of the vote cast
in the state for presidential electors
at the last general election, and this
qualities them as a political party
even If the legislature in amending
the election laws did overlook
amending section 1862 of the code.
which describes a political party as
one that cast 20 per cent OF the vote
polled for representative in congress.
While the progressie party cast 20
per cent of the votes polled for pres
idential electors it did not cast 25
per cent OF the votes polled for rep
resentative in congress, and it was to
settle these conflicting provisions
that the secretary of state requested
an opinion from the attorney gener-
al. The attorney general holds that
the 20 per cent provision fixes the
status of the party, and that nomi-
mating petitions must have per cent
of the vote cast by the party in the
electoral district n which the nomi-
nation is sought.
