LATIN ARGUM EMIT.
Milanese Diners Show How Slight
Difference II Takes to liven Up
Quiet Little Party in Italy.

"There is something most refreshing
to the colder northern races in the ex-
cjtable and volatile Latins," said
George Hamlin. I'VE had delightful
exhibition of this quality when we
fret reached Milan. We entered cafe,
celebrated as much for the artists who
frequent it as its excellent CUISINE
and had barely given our order wnen
our attention was attracted to nearpy
able. where two diners were engaged
in what was evidently very serious
discussion.
"At that time our linguistic accom-
plishments were limited to Mark
Twain's famous 'Quanta costa ?-Trop-
DO caro- with an additional phrase or
two thrown in, all of which were IN
ADEQUATE to unravel any clew to the
earnest conversation opposite
Presently the voices grew louder ana
more passionate, and the Two men
looked positively violent as they mar
rose from their seats ana giareo at
each other ferociously across the Ia
Bile. We became decidedly uneasy. ven
dettas, stillettos and such Italian APP
putenances are all pictur esque enough
in grand opera, but we did not care 10
have our dinner punctuated with deeos
of carnage.
.In the meantime all the other DIM
ers had stopped eating and were siiS-
ing with interest toward the scene OF
alteration. Gradually they abandoned
their dinners altogether and came over
to take sides with the disputants. Even
the walters forsook their posts. ana
attached themselves to one side or the
other. Surely, we thought anxlousiy'
this Quarrel must involve the honor
of the whole nation
by this time the din was fearfui
\ score or more of excited men were
shouting at each other across the small
table. brandishing furious fists IN each

that a massacre was at hand ana our
minutes were numbered

on the table vigorously and yelled some
noises which sounded like pack OF
firecrackers exploding. There was an

I'VE breathed an !mmeasurabie re-

was transferred and our skins We're
safe. Just then our waiter reiuctahtis
returned. though he made II plain that
his duty to us was decided bore.
Was it a feud9-a vendetta" we
asked-'and can't the police stop them
before they kill each other?

Federal League Standing
Speaker Best Ever

Manager Bill CarrigAn of the Red
Sox of Boston, like Jim McAleer, Tor
mer president of the Boston Amefl-
cans. ranks Iris Speaker as the great
sest player in the world, not even bar
ring Tyrus Cobb. Following are some
remarks by Manager Carrigan while In
Indianapolis:
Iris Speaker is the greatest base
ball player in the world. He is re-
n,arkable player. He is always work
ing for the interest of his club and not
for his average. He misses but Few
games. Spoke is at natural batter
great fielder and daring base run
4ner. Ty Cobb is another wonderful
ball player. Ty is also working for
his team all the time. but | rank
Speaker ahead of the Georgian.
II have always blocked runners at
the plate. have won many games by
doing it. | treat all players alike and
will block off Ty Cobb just as quickly
as | will any other man. When a
runner hits me with his feet he shakes
me up a little, but / have never been
seriously hurt. Perhaps the training l
received as a football player at Holy
Cross has aided me somewhat.
1T would be foolish for me to pick
the Red Sox to win the pennant this
year. l do not believe in claiming a
svictory before the race has even start
ed But l will say that the Red Sox
will give the baseball fans their best
efforts. We will fight for every game
we play We will not always win, but
we will keep on hghting all the time.

EXPERIMENTING THE FLY.
Dallas Club Hopes to Renew Efforts
in Near Future.

Owing to its numerous other un-
dertakings at this particular time the
Dallas Woman Club has thus far
found it practically impossible to de-
vote much attention to the movement
to exterminate the fly, but although
somewhat late in the season it hopes
to renew its campaign to this end.
While the thousands of Oregonians
are talking a fyless state, and while
divers Organizations are outlining def
mite plans for action, the tones of
others are vague and vacillating, and
redolent of it can't be done. But it
can be done, and should be done.
DR.. Hodge, professor of social biol
ogy at the University of Oregon, the
man who is pointing out the way to
become fyless, does not say it is pos
sible to rid Oregon or flies in 1914.
What he does say is that any COM
munity, by exercise of common-sense
and cooperation, mixed with some
consistent effort, can become so free
from flies in summer that the fly
scrouge would never be permitted
again anymore than the community
would tolerate bubonic plague, hyenas
or stinking water.

OIL FOR SALEM ROAD
COMMITTEES APPOINTED TO So
LICIT NECESSARY FUNDS
Cost Per Mile Estimated at Forty five
Dollars, Using County Machinery
for Work.

At recent gathering of citizens al
the court house, committees were ap-
pointed to solicit subscriptions to g
fund to be used in oiling the Dallas
Salem highway, and these committees
are now discharging that obligation
to the meeting. Messrs. Lee Crider
and Holt McDaniels of Dallas and
Will Powell of Rickreall were named
to wait upon residents along the road
Chalmers Kirkpatrick, U. S. Grant
and N. l.. Guy were appointed to re-
ceive contributions from local auto
mobile owners in Dallas. 1t was es-
timated that the highway could be oil
ed for $45 per mile using county ma
chinery, and of the total sum expend-
ed the county will come forward with
half.
The question or reducing the grade
at Eola was discussed at some length,
the general opinion prevailing that the
county court should be requested to
cut down the hills at this point, but
this matter was deferred until the reg
ular session of the Commercial club,
which will be held tomorrow even
ing.
Although the meeting was not call
ed by the Commercial club, it resolved
itself into such and President Fuller
presided, while Secretary Miles acted
in his usual capacity.

WHEN MOTHER LEFT US

(By y. III. CornWall.)
1t was the pleasant month of May,
And Spring was clad in bloom,
When angels came on Sabbath day,
To welcome mother home.
She fondly bade us all adieu,
And could not tarTy here,
For then did heaven come to view,
And matchless glory there.
By faith she saw the son of God,
And with his welcome blest,
Her faith was firm, through Jesus
blood,
To enter heaven IS rest.
But with a mothers love and care,
And with true heart and mind,
She breathed to God fervent prayer
For those she left behind.
Sad cruel death! and bitter strife,
They cause us pain and loss,
But Jesus gives eternal life,
To all, who bear his cross.
Just tented on this earthly plain,
We pilgrims soon remove,
And all must gain salvation's prize,
Who reign with Christ above.
And when we meet them and rejoice,
Amid that sacred throng,
How sweet when all with heart and
voice,
Can sing salvation's song.
