How Develop a Community

In order to develop a community the
surrounding territory must also be de-
veloped. He thought that from 60 to
rs per cent of the supp ortof the city of
Baraboo came from the surrounding
country and for that reason there should
be good roads, good marketing facilities
and progressive merchants. Ee spoke
of apples decaying in the orchards OF
Indiana when similar apples are sold
afterward in Chicago at go cents q
dozen. This showed lack of market
ing facilities. He believed that great
many farmers bought from the mail or
der houses because the home merchants
did not know their goods. In proof OF
this he gave the names of men who are
making fortunes selling machinery be-
cause they knew machinery and all the
new ideas that are coming on the
market every day. How many mer-
chants know all about the goods they
are selling? he paused to ask. DO they
know all about the latest styles, the
newest ideas and the change in prices.
Howmany clerks in clothing store

logue to find out, was the speakers be-

Cooperation and efficiency were the
keynotes of the lecture. By cooper
alton he meant team work, working in
unison and pulling together instead OF
fighting. Energy, time, money, sacrl-
flee and responsibility must enter into
the work being done for the advance
ment of any community. Gle would give
no subsidies to factories because sub
sides do not create the proper condi-
tons for industries and industries will
not thrive in an uncongenial atmos-
phere. The field must be right for the
growth of factories-available labor,
cheap raw material, good schools, pleas
ant surroundings and harmonious
spirit. Unless these are found the fac
tory has no right to exist and unless the
corresponding elements are to be found
in town the town has no right to
exist.

Cantine Head OF
Siskiyou Road Work

Salem, July AT a meeting Of
the state highway commission today
State Engineer Lewis virtually defied
the commission so far as an order
made by it June Is, placing E. |. Can
tine, chief deputy engineer, in charge
of the highway work, is concerned.
Basing his action upon an opinion of
Attorney-General Brown that under
the law passed at the last session of
the legislature the state engineer
should be the active highway en-
gineer, Mr.. Lewis informed the COM
mission that until Mr.. Brown changed
his opinion he would continue so to
act. He said:
"At the meeting of the highway
commission June Is an order was en-
tered directing Mr.. Cantine, chief
deputy state engineer, to take direct
charge of certain work under orders
of the state highway commission. 1t
is my desire to cooperate in every
way with the commission to make a
success of the road work, and the
above arrangement being desired by
the commission, offered to cooper
ate with Mr.. Cantine so far as permit
ted by the law and the ruling OF the
attorney-general, if he desired to un-
dertake such Independent work. At
ter studying the order carefully it
was decided that about the only work
which Mr.. Cantine could take over
would be the force account work on
Siskiyou mountain in Jackson county.

or is reappointed each year. With
such a board there can be no radical
changes of management, which
means continuity of work. 1t might
be advantageous to have the ceme-
terry board and park board as one
and the same. With most of the
small cemeteries there is great need
of education among the lot owners
in order that there might be more
simplicity in the care and manage
ment of the grounds, for this means
more beauty and more economy in
the care of lots. In some small cities
lots are given away or sold at a
nominal price, under the belief that
each citizen is entitled to three by
six feet of Mother Earth. A good
remedy would be, charge more for
the lots, have all fees so into the
cemetery fund, together with an ad-
ditional appropriation from year to
year Where the ownership of ceme-
teries is vested in an association of
lot owners and governed by board
of trustees who serve without re-
muneration, the results are more sat
isfactory than when under county,
township or municipal control.
Where the trustees have established
perpetual care fund, such owner
ship by an association of lot owners
is considered ideal.
Other cemeteries have been estab-
lished and are under the control of
corporation not for profit, This ar
rangement is apt to result in better
cemetery than those previously men
toned, for the reason that higher
price is obtained for lots, out Of
which a part is set aside for per-

Few Changes in
Oregon Mines

Very few changes in the mining
conditions in Oregon are noted by
Charles G. Yale, of the United States
Geological Survey, for the first six
months of the year. The mint and
smelters at San Francisco show only
about $4,000 increase of gold re-
ceipts in the first five months of 1915
over the same period in 1914.
The Powder River Dredging Com
pany, at Sumpter, the most productive
placer mine in the state, is building
an additional dredge. The North Pole
mine, in Cracker creek district, nom
productive for some time, will shortly
again be producing. 1t has a large
territory only partly opened, but re-
cent developments show strikes of
ore A railroad is being built from
Grants Pass into the Waldo copper
district, in Josephine county, and
these mines will then be given an op-
portunity to ship their ores to a
smelter. Prospecting is rather mac
tive in the state, as capital is scarce
to develop even the known properties.
The most important productive
mines of the state continue to be the
following: Among the deep mines,
the Rainbow Commercial Mining
Company and the Cornucopia Mines
Company, located in Baker county,
are the largest two producers. The
Rainbow mine is in the Mormon Ba-
sin district and the Cornucopia mine
is in the Cornucopia district. Other
prominent producers in Baker county
are the Columbia Gold Mines Com
pany at Sumpter, Cracker creek dis
trict, and the Baker Mines Company
in the Cornucopia district. Outside
of Baker county the Ben Harrison
mine of Granite district, Grant coun-
ty, and the Humboldt Consolidated
Gold Mines of Rye valley, Mormon
Basin, Malheur county, are the only
large producers.
The most important placer mines
are the Powder River Dredge Com
pany, Cracker creek district, Baker
county (the leading dredge mine) :,
the Osgood mine, Waldo district, JOS
ephine county, and the Layton, Apple
gate district, Jackson county, are the
leading hydraulic mines. AS before,
the dredge mining is far in excess of
any other form of placer mining in
Oregon, and hydraulic and drift min
ing being the next in Importance.
Baker county continues to be the larg-
est producing county.

Organization and Ownership of Gene

Editor Tidings; Settlers in a new
locality seldom made provision for
the burial of their dead. That was
! doubtless due to the uncertainty of
their permanence. When the first
death occurred burial was made at
any convenient place near the settle
ment, without reference to the estab-
lishment of a cemetery at that loca
ton Other burials, however, took
place from time to time, and If the
settlement became a village or city,
the burial ground assumed the pro-
portion of a cemetery. Should the
settlement remain simply a settle
ment, the place of burial remained as
the country burying ground. Such
places are neglected and cannot be
dignified by the name of cemetery
Marked by few topping headstones
among the tall grass and weeds, they
are memorials not to the dead but
neglect to those left behind who are
supposed to be living. Such burial
places are common sights in America
and emphasize the need of organizing
a cemetery in such communities. The
greater number of cemeteries OF
America are owned by the small cit
les. They have been the logical de-
velopment of the settlement burial
ground. Management is vested in a
committee of the city council, and all
fees collected and permits issued by
the clerk or superintendent who is
selected for his fitness and character.
He is frequently found to act as
gravedigger, superintendent, secre-
tary, landscape gardener, and the en-
tire working force of the cemetery
He is as rule faithful, but as he
has only a scant appropriation to
work with, he is seldom able to prop
erly care for it owing to the lack of
financial support. Such city ceme-
teries can be bettered by an increased
appropriation and the appointment of
a cemetery board of three members,
irrespective Of membership in the city
councils the appointments so ar
ranged that only one member retires

An Outdoor Theatre for Ashland.


Editor Nidings: The fine article
in the last Tidings on Outdoor Thea
tres for Oregon Towns" impressed me
as offering a practical suggestion to
Ashland. From this article it appears
that Eugene has Just completed an
outdoor theatre at a cost OF only
$500. Our climate and our natural
site for such a theatre are both bet
ter than Eugenes; indeed, such an
amphitheatre and stage setting as our
park would afford can hardly be du-
plicated anywhere.
To-day outdoor dramatics are popu-
lar everywhere, but there cerainly
can be few localities so wonderfully
adapted to them as our own.
In a recent magazine article there
was a description of an outdoor
Greek theatre reduced to its sim
plest terms: made by placing six
fluted white wooden pillars in a wide
semicircle and by having two NOV
able Greek seats in white wood to
complete the stage equipment At
Mount Kisco, New York, there is a
Greek theatre, fitted in this way,
where hundreds are entertained every
summer. There masQues and plays
requiring an outdoor setting are
staged by amateurs, and this same
background is used when exhibitions
of fancy dancing are given. Nothing
is prettier than a dance out Of doors.
AS an adjunct to our Chautauqua,
also, an outdoor stage and amphi-
theatre of this description would be
desirable. On the whole, it would
seem that an outdoor theatre might
prove an invaluable addition to Ash
lands scheme of park development
and improvement. AL FRESCO.

petual care fund. The greater num-
ber of new cemeteries established in
recent years near the large cities are
owned by corporations for profit. At
first thought such ownership, the
making Of money out of the burial
Of the dead, may offend our feeling
of proprety, but the fact remains
that such cemeteries are successful
because established and cared for on
business principles. They should be
close corporations, with no stock or
bonds for sale to the public. The
incorporators should in all cases es-
tablish a proper perpetual care fund
by setting aside a certain percentage
of the purchase price of each lot for
such purpose. S. PERMISSION.

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol.
