RECONSTRUCT FIRE DEPART
MENT.

The council has under considera
ton an ordinance that will make ma
terial changes in the fire department
OF the city of Grants Pass, the ordi-
nance having been read first and sec
ond times Thursday night, and will
come up for final passage or rejec-
tion at the next regular session. The
material changes in the administra-
ton OF the department lies in the
provision for the chief and assistant
chief engineer, who are to be ap-
pointed by the council, and the chief
engineer to have supervision and
superintendence over the volunteer
department at all times. The chief
and his assistant are to have charge
Of the auto Are truck, and must be
competent chauffeurs.
The chief engineer under the ordi-
nance is given full authority over the
volunteer fremen, with power to
fine for non-attendance at drills, or
to expel from the company on vote of
the company. The firemen. OF
whom there can be one or more COM
panies, are to be- paid $3.50 for each
IRE they attend where water is used,
providing, however, that they shall
not be paid II they are not at the
fire within fifteen minutes after the
alarm is given. For fires where only
the chemical engine Is required, the
nremen shall receive s1.25 for at
tendance.
The chief and his assistant are to
appear in uniform at all times, and
are likewise clothed with police pow
ers. with authority to wear the Of
ficial star and make arrests on occa-
sion. No extra compensation is al
lowed for this service. The chief
and his assistant are now paid sal
aries of SIS per month, though the
chief will probably be given ma
terial increase over this figure, as
his request for the raise seems TO
meet with the favor Of the city dads.

RESPECT FOR LAW AND ORDER

RESPECT FOR LAW AND ORDER.
One of the things which apparent
ly escapes the attention Of most
scribbling travellers in Germany is
the double line OF fruit trees along
the public roads, says the National
Magazine. There are several thous-
and miles of these trees on either
side of public roads in northern Ger
many. Most Of them are apple
trees. You know what would happen
to those apple trees in any American
state. Boys would pick the fruit
green-too impatient to wait for 1t
70 ripen, and likely enough they
would break down the trees getting
the fruit. What happens in Ger
many? The public authorities sell
the fruit crop to contractors at from
5000 to $500 per mile, and apply the
proceeds OF the sale to the upkeep
Of the roads. Boys do not steal the
apples. Nor is 1t necessary to main
tain a policeman every 100 feet 10
prevent such mischief. Why are the
German boys 80 much more respect
full Of property rights than American
boys7 Ia the difference racial? I
hardly think 80. It's difference Of
training, probably. I'm inclined to
believe the universal military train

BY Serene E. Payne, Of New York

aids foreign laborers by throwing
open our markets and discriminates
against American laborers forced to
meet unjust competition and enorm-
ous increases in imports from abroad
AS a menace to the present unparal'
leled prosperity Of the country, under
which the earnings Of workingmen
provide more necessities than ever

Prayers for a Horse.


 A young eurate, but very shy and bashful came into parish which was occupied by Yorkshire yeoman who bred horses and rode them and some times had steeplechases. He did not get on, and was very much depressed.
 One day the clerk said to him: "If you please, sir, the prayers of the church are desired for Lucy Gray"
 Very well" said the curate, and at every service iii which the prayer for all sorts and conditions Of men vac offered, the church was asked to pray for Lucy Gray. till one morning the clerk rushed into the vestry and said:
 You needn't pray for Lucy Gray any more; she's won the steeple. chase

BEACH COVERED WITH FISH
CaIifornians Gather Up Thousands When They Come on the Beach
 by Night to Spawn.

Thousands of little fish coming on the sands at Serra, three miles below San Juan Capistrano, furnished a most unusual sight and gave an op- portunity for the capture by hand of many hundreds of fish
 Three moonlight nights of each of three spring months the fish, which resembles the smelt, goes on the sands to spawn. The larger waves carry the fish up and leave them fiop- ping on the sand. flashing in the moon light. The beach for nearly half a mile on both sides of the San Juan creek was literally covered with the little fish one night recently. The run commenced soon after midnight
 The coming of the fish is great occasion in the San Juan Capistrano Mission valley. People gathered from far and near, and nearly every one returned with half four sack filled with the beauties. Eight to ten automobile loads of Santa Anans were on hand
 The old-timers who have observed these runs for many years say that the fish come up to spawn on three successive nights. commencing with the third ngbt after full moon in March, April and May or April, May and June. The only place on the range country coast where the fish spawn is at Sierra. In San Diego county, near the Orange county line, at San Onofre, similar runs occur Santa Ana (Cal.) Dispatch.
