Horses for War Purposes.

All the countries in the world
are being called upon for horses
for service in the campaigns of
Europe.
The Cossacks of Russia have
an unlimited supply in the coun-
try from the Niemen to the plains
of Turkestan.
1t is estimated that fully 90
100000 of,horses, small but hardy
are at theFcammand of the cav
airy forces of the Car.

slams, which require larger an
finals, are not so numerous, but
these needs can be provided for
in a degree by the use of great
er numbers of the smaller types.
Sir John French, in his official
report of the operations of the
expeditionary force, tells of his
calling upon General Sordot, of
the French Cavalry Division, for
support in his retreat, and that
Sordet was unable to come to his
assistance by reason of the ut
ter WEAKNESS of the cavalry
mounts.
AS the report was only up to
September 1, itEcan be placed as
a certainty that the two weeks
of most active operations since
then have reduced the efficiency
of the British and French cayal.

Staying on The Job.

party Parties will fare
well enough without nursing if
the men who make them up and
the men who lead them forget
themselves to serve cause and
set a great people forward on
the path of liberty and peace.
This is the spirit that breathes
throughout President Wilson's
letter to Congressman Doremus,
in which he tells why he must
decline to engage actively in the
Democratic campaign this year.
1t is the spirit of patriotic serv-
ice. OF service to the whole peo-
pie, so strongly exemplified by
the President throughout his
official career. 1t is the spirit
which declared that that party
serves itself best that serves the
country best and which forgets
self interest in working for the
common good.
The President, in his own
homely language, will "stay on
the job" His job, as he sees it,
is to stay in Washington and
face the serious responsibilities
that the war abroad has placed
upon those who have been
chosen by the American people
to administer their government,
to advance their prosperity and
to preserve for them the bless
ings of peace. The nation has
suddenly been confronted with
new problems, in which ques-
tions of party have no place.
These problems must be met
wisely, unse!fshly and in all har-
mouy, with full confidence that
the people will justly appraise
the work of their servants.
This is a time when America
expects every man to do his duty
without thought of profit or ad-
vantage to himself. " Here is a
broad hint to those members of
Congress who have been too
busy seeking reelection to attend
to their public duties, who have
been more solicitous for their
own advantage than for the pub
lie welfare. The people will not
forget to reward those of their
Representatives who stay with
Wilson ION the job" at Washing
ton, nor will they fail to remem-
Der those who have deserted their
posts to advance their own inter-
ests. From this time on it will
pay every Congressman to "stay
on the job" President Wilson's
letter is worth more to his party
than a thousand campaign.

TEMPERATURE DROPS
TO 5 ABOVE ZERO

According to the record of the gov
ernment thermometer of f. W. Birge,
on the West Side. Saturday night was
the coldest of the season, the mercury
registering five degrees above. Their
mometers in the city registered from
five to seven degrees higher. The ex-
tended cold weather has caused the
frost to penetrate and numerous ranch
ers have had difficulty in keeping ap-
pies still in their packing sheds from
freezing. Potatoes that have been al
lowed to remain undug have been dam
agded. Numerous city residents have
been caused inconvenience from their
water pipes freezing.
According to reports in the Portland
dailies, ferry service at The Dalles and
Vancouver, Wash, has been stopped
or seriously hampered by the freeze.
At Vancouver large floating ice fields
have formed. These fields have ac-
cumulated at different points in the
Columbia and the river boats have
been unable to make their schedules
The upper river boats have been un-
able to make their trips as the Locks
could not be manipulated because of
the ice.
The local ferrys have been running
despite the cold weather. 1--WE have
wide stream here," says Commodore
Dean, of the Hood River-White Salmon
system, 'and we always run longer
than any others on the river" How
ever, it was necessary Sunday night to
cut away the ice at the landing place.
The surface was frozen an inch thick
again Monday morning, but the ferry
boat, plying through, kept it broken.
Pioneer residents assert that they
have never seen an east wind prevail
for period as long as during the re.
cent cold weather. at has been the
longest continued cold spell. with an
east wind blowing, that | have ever
seen here, says Peter Mohr. G. d.
Hinriehs makes similar statement.
Mr.. Birge's thermometer registered
10 above Monday night. The wind
shifted to the northwest Monday and
the weather began to moderate.

episode four of "The Master Key" will
be given. With his miners still openly
hostile, Wilkerson realizes that he must
get Dore out of the way, if only tenn
porarily. He alters the books of "The
Master Key" mine to make it appear
that unless more capital is secured at
once the mine will go bankrupt. He
suggests that Dore leave for San Fran
cisco but he scents another conspiracy
and arranges that Ruth shall make the
trip to secure more capital. Wilkerson
accepts Dore's counter propC sitio with
bad grace and accepts Ruth's visiting
San Francisco in Dore's place.
Upon Ruth's departure Wilkerson
wires Mrs. Darnell to introduce Ruth
to San Francisco confidence man, c.
Drake, as the Mr.. Everett with whom
she is to make arrangements for secur-
ing further capital for the financing of
the mine. Drake is instructed to gain
control of the deeds which Ruth takes
to San Francisco with her. Ruth is in
troduced to Drake, and intrusts him
with the sending of the Telegram to
Dore, telling of her safe arrival. Drake
sends the telegram after making him
self acquainted with its contents. Dore
receives the telegram at the same time

from the real MIR. Everett, which reads,

realizes instantly that something is
amiss and decides to leave for San
Francisco ut once.
Hearing of Dore's plan, Wilkerson
resolves to prevent his departure at all
costs. During the night he withdraws
a pin from the brake on the rear wheel
of the motor truck Dore will use in
making the journey from the mine to
the station. Before Dore leaves Will
kerson rides ahead and fires the bridge
at the foot of steep decline. The
driver sof Dore's truck fails to see the
flames until he is half way down the
side of the steep hill. He at once sp-
plies the brakes but they will not
work. Realizing that death awaits him
when the truck strikes the blazing
timbers of the bridge, the driver jumps
for his life. Dore. anticipating the
drivers desertion, springs to the steer.
ing wheel of the truck in time to pre-.
vent it from overturning.
Dore jumps at the last moment from
the car, rolls down the hillside, and
hangs unconscious over the edge of the
canyon. The heat from the burning
structure and the cracking of flames
in nearby bushes and mountain grass
brings Dore to semi-consciousnes auo
a realization of his danger. Painfully
craving away from the canyons edge
to a bare rock, he again falls uncon'
scous from his injuries. Wilkerson,
meanwhile, has reached the station anc
catches the local for San Francisco,
believing that Dore has plunged into
the depths of the canyon.

ICE COVERED SLOUGHS
ARE VERY POPULAR

With the ice thicker than it has been
in years and the surface free from
snow, Hood River people who love the
sport of skating have been having Joy
Gus days. The sloughs of the city along
the Columbia are frozen about eight
inches thick.
The largest crowd of skaters on the
sloughs at any one time made its ap-
pearance Sunday afternoon. Men,
women and children. old and young,
were on the ice. 1t was a scene not
often seen by Hood River people except
in picture books. The sun was shining
gloriously, yet the winter air was bit.

the wards.
The following greeting has been pre-
pared and is being distributed:
Dear Fellow Citizen:
What do you say to our
plan Of having everybody go to the
church of his choice on Sunday, Febru-
AIRY first?
We assume you are in favor Of it and
will come, and this is to remind you Of
the time End the fact that we are try
ing to reach every person in the com
munity, as we are now reaching you,
in order that we may have a great
mass movement that one day.
All the regular services Of the
churches interested in the movement
will be held. and the object is to deep
en- the sense of our obligation TO God
and the value to each and all Of worship.
We hope further TO deepen the sense
Of the oneness of the community in
its dependence upon God, whose we
are, and whom we serve.
THIS is not so much an invitation, for
you have perpetual standing invita-
ton to the Fathers House, but it is a
request that you use your influence to
bring your neighbor, who does not go
to church very often, and so far as in
you lies, work to make the first Of
February historic.

Survey of Mineral Point.

AS preliminary to the coming OF
the Community Health and Education
Institute to Mineral Point, Feb, Is, Is
and 20, to be held under the auspices of
the University Extension Division, a
local survey has been made by Paul w.
Black.
1t is the purpose of this survey to
bring out such good condition as there
are ard also to show how some of the
poorer conditions can be improved.
One of the important things for secur-
ing the health of community is to OBJ
tain a good water supply A large
number of Wisconsin towns are sup
piled with drinking water from surface
wells and when this is the case it is inn
portant to find any sources chat may
eontaminate it and remove this source
of impurity 1t therefore becomes nee
essary to find the number and condition
of the outhouses and the cleanliness Of
barns, alleys, etc. The healthfulness
of community is closely connected
with these conditions. The problem of
a pure water supply becomes large
when geologically the town is built on
a rock surface which is literally webbed
with cracks and assures. Whenever
cess-pools and outhouses open into
these cracks in the rocks the surface
water becomes contaminated very cas-
lily. This is why in some cases 9096 of
the surface wells furnish impure water
There will be an exhibit in the Insti- !
tute, model and drawings of sewage
disposal system such as any farmer or
resident of the town can install with
little expense. This should he of great
interest to the citizens Experts on
Sanitary Engineering will also be pres
ent to consult with the people and lee
ture on village and farm sanitation.
Models of sanitary meat markets and
grocery stores will also be on display,
Blue prints of drawings and experts %
explain them and council with the peo-
pie will also be at the service of the
public.
