They Seem to Be Run In a Happy. go
lucky Sort OF Way.
Americans, accustomed to the hustle
and hustle of our newspapers that are
enterprising to a marvellous extent,
would be amazed If not exasperated
with the papers of India. One of these
sheets recently published this explana-
ton:
This is only the beginning of our
paper. We were not sure how much
matter was required to fill II up, and.
thinking we had sufficient, we did not
exert ourselves much to get any more.
We therefore beg that our readers will
excuse us for the space left blank and
promise to do better and get more in
the future"
How many subscribers wonld that
paper have In this country? Still more
curious was the announcement Of a
paper that came out with two columns
blank. the editor having the cheek to
say that large quantity of exceeding
ly interesting matter has been left out
for want OF space.
When the average East Indian editor
wants a holiday he snspends publica-
ton until it is convenient TO resume
and, taking the public into bis conf
dence, informs them plainly why the
paper was not issued on the expected
dates. with the consent of eur read
ers we now propose to take our annual
holiday. We are sure none Of them
will begrudge us our relaxation. st

Flat Feet Cause
OF Much Illness

A complaint that is nearly as bad
as the southern hook-worm for sap
ping the bodily energy of any one
who has to move about is abroad in
Oregon and the other parts of the
United States, and vast numbers OF
men and women are its victims, ac-
cording to DR.. Bertha Stuart of the
department of physical training at
the State University. To see whether
you have it, feel of the bottom of
your foot. If there is little callus
place on the sole, especially under the
ball of the foot, beware. If in addi-
tion you do not walk with vigorous,
swinging step, if your feet hurt,
especially near the heel, and If you
dread a long tramp, better find out
whether yours is a case of broken
arch" or 'flat-foot."
Broken arches are easily mended,
according to DR.. Stuart, but physi-
clans are only beginning to realize
the importance of curing this COM
plant, and saving to the state and
the individual the vast resources in
human energy that are now going to
waste.
Never day passes at the univers-
ity that DR.. Stuart does not bind the
feet of some woman student. Lately
men, too, have been seeking her help.
The change in the style of women's
shoes, with its abrupt alteration from
high heels to no heels, has been the
ruin of hundreds of feet.
Women are the principal sufferers,
according to DR.. Stuart, though po-
licemen, clerks and others much on
their feet are apt to be victims. Mil
lions of women 60 through life weak
and sickly, as semi-invalids, but not
knowing what is the matter, when II
their feet were sound, they would
take plenty Of exercise, keep well, do
full days work, and enjoy being
alive.

5000 People a Year
Killed Trespassing

Every day or so we read of some
person or child killed while walking
on a railroad track.
We all say it is foolish for per-
son to walk on a railroad track, and
then forget about it.
We ran across the following facts
the other day in the hands of rail-
road employe. The company had sent
them out as bulletin to all en-
ployes in the hope that the warning
might help avert some future acci-
dent.
The bulletin struck us so force
ably that we thought it worth repro
ducing for the benefit of the public
generally:
"The Salt Lake Route is safe
road to ride upon. In the last eight
years no passengers have been killed
in train accidents. 1t is very un-
safe road to walk upon. During the
same period 101 trespassers have
beve been killed.
when the railway is used for the
purpose intended it is good place
to be; when the public uses 1t for
any other purpose it does so at its
peril.
please make it your business to
at once acquaint the employees at
your station, your friends and neigh
bors, school teachers, editors and
ministers, with the following facts:
give thousand trespassers are
killed in the United States each year.
A minority are hoboes. Many are
respected citizens. A goodly number
are school children. Using the track
as short cut home or to work often
proves short cut to the grave.
Were these 5000 killed in one acci-
dent, the public would rise as one
man to stop it.
What is needed is an anti-tres-
passing law in every state.
more lives could be saved by the
enforcement of such laws than by
providing steel cars, installing block
signals and abolishing grade cross
ings, which, if required at one time,
would bankrupt every railway in
America. The anti-trespassing law
will cost nothing and will afford i'm
mediate relief, leaving the other rem
edies to be provided as the needs OF
the communities and the financial
ability of the interested parties may
determine. One life is as precious
as another. Why throw all the safe
guards around the passenger and
none around the tresspasser? The
way to protect the passenger is to
transport him safely; the trespasser,
to keep him from becoming one.
Warn, therefore, all who walk on
railway tracks that they are in great
danger.
ITO arouse the public to a realiza-
tion Of the truth in regard to railway
trespassing, you are asked to begin
campaign of education in your circle
Of influence. Post this bulletin in a

Exposition Grounds, San Francis
co, July 13.-Francis Wilson, actor
of "The Bachelors Baby" fame, was
caught by H. o. Frohbach today in
the act of abstracting luscious
Rogue River valley cherry from the
Southern Oregon cherry exhibit.
Apologies ensued, in which Mr..
Wilson said that he wanted the pit
to plant in ihs own cherry orchard in
New Rochelle, N. Y. He said he
grew cherries himself but he never
had seen such cherries as those from
Oregon.
AS a penalty he was compelled to
finish the box. He will be lunch

that they read and heed"
Bills have been presented to the
Oregon legislature on this feature,
but extent of injuries and deaths
from cause of trespassing are not
known generally to the public and
full consideration is not given. Such
law would be in the interest of hu-
manity and would save sorrow and
grief in many homes"

State Advisory
Board Visits CITY

The state highway commission ad-
visory board, consisting of S. Ben
son, j. H. Albert and Leslie Butler,
accompanied by State Highway En-
gineer Cantine, the members of the
county court and. several commission
ers from Douglas and Josephine
counties and several local men, made
the trip over the Siskiyou grade Fri
day afternoon. The members of the
board were enthusiastic over the won
derful piece OF mountain highway and
pronounced it to be the best piece Of
road work of its kind in the west.
The party was met at the foot OF
the Jackson hill Friday noon by a
number of city officials and the diff
ferent routes were explained by En-
gineer Cantine. The advisory board
decided the route to be selected
should be settled by the county COM
missioners and the local people. The
cost of the cut through Billings hill
and around the hill is practically the
same, not counting the cost of the
right of way, according to Mr.. Kilt
redge.
The party returned to Ashland af-
ter the trip to the California line, and
after dinner met about fifty of the
prominent business men in meeting
in the Commercial Club rooms.
President Newcombe Of the Com
mercial Club presided over the meet
ing. State Engineer Cantine stated
that throughout Oregon the highway
was in fairly good shape, the worst
places being the Gendale hill and
Pass Creek canyon. He said that the
first work of the state officials would
be to strengthen the weak links in
the road.
