Automobile Manners.

Let the superstitious touch wood IL they wish,
but there really seems to be less abuse of the
powers of automobiles than there was some
time ago. This is probably the result Of greater
familiarity with motor driven vehicles an well as
of an appreciation OF the dangers to the public
in speeding. II has been noticed in general
that persons who were going to a definite goal
were not nearly likely to speed as those riding
aimlessly The man who merely took spin on
the pike and back again seemed to be more
likely to "let 1t out" than the man that had an
engagement to meet. The novelty OF speeding Is
wearing on for persons who have had cars some
time. As automobiles come into more general
use, there ID reason to hope and to believe, that
the abuse Of them will be less attractive. There
IL. nevertheless. room for further improvement.
In disregard Of the city ordinance there are very
young persons in charge OF machines on the
streets and highways and some Of them lack
both discretion and assured control OF their
machines. There are also drivers who reckless
iy turn corners at high speed. utterly regardless
of the dangers to pedestrians. Such persons
should be made to feel the weight Of the law
In fact. as the level Of general automobile man
ners rises 1t IL just that persistent vio1ators of
the speed and trifnc ordinances should be check
I'd by the courts. and the officers Of the law. The

place of the mill which was burned in
July, 1911.
Cut to Exceed 100000 Feet.
''The mill will be built to cut some
thing in excess of sO,OOO,OOO feet a year
and the logs will be supplied chiefly by
rail from our camps above Werdling
"we do not expect to Guild any pow
er plant in connection with the mill,
having arranged contract with the
Oregon Power Company whereby we
will furnish fuel from the plant at
Springfield for that company, and will
buy electric power from it to operate
the mill.

Fire Precautions to Be Taken.
f'The mill will be sprinkled with an
automatic system and every prncautioh
win be taken to protect the mill and
property against fire. The buildings
will be farther apart than they were in
the old plant, and much Of the lumber
will be conveyed to a point several luu-
dred feet from the old yard, both for
the purpose Of avoiding risk and to
give more piling room.
"We also expect to establish retail
yard"
The old mill was destroyed ON tie
night of July 2s, 1911. The Springfield
water system was undergoing depairs
and the mill plant was soon out Of elm
mission, so nothing could be done to
stay the flames.
Rebuilding of the plant was entirely
contingent upon the settlement Of the
company's title to several thousand
acres of timber land which it had
bought from the Oregon & California
Railroad Company. This was accom-.
plished through the "innOcent purchas-
er's act" passed by the previous ses.
sion Of congress, and under which title
to the land has been quieted.
