HALLOWEEN LARK
AT GOLD HILL

Gold Hill. Ore, Oct. 27.-Hal-
lowe'en observance In this city this
season will not be confined to the
frolicsome forays of the small boy or
his elder imitators. Doubtless the
persons whose front gate was miss
ing last year will again hold the an
nual indignation meeting with his
neighbor whose COW was pastured on
the shed roof.
The Greater Gold Hill club realizes
that its jurisdiction does not extend
to the correction OF such matters.
While its members do not openly ap-
prove of the mischievous manner OF
celebration-they we're once boys
themselves.
The general appreciation OF the
club for some saner form OF obser-
vance Is shown In the announcement
Of Halloween ball, to be held next
Saturday evening In their dancing
pavilion, which has been completely
enclosed and will be heated for the
winter season. Quaint favors in
the likeness Of witches caps will be
given to the guests, while the hal
will be decorated in keeping with
the mystic eve Of hobgoblins ant
happiness.
All proceeds OF club dances are
used for the promotion OF progress
in the valley, and the pleasantly in
formal affairs have become quite the
fad with the southern Oregon socla
set.

LAND PRICES VERSUS LAND
VALUES.

It seems sometimes like a waste Of
time and of space and Of patience to
dwell daily upon the need for action
In the beet sugar campaign. or to
detail how other communities have
found progress and prosperity
through cultivation Of the root. Yet
II Is a matter 90 vitality important to
the Rogue valley that 1t amounts al
most to question Of life and death.
The establishment Of the factory will
give the lands a producing value that
they do not now have. BY this is
not meant that prices will soar upon
the books OF the assessor or Of the
real estate dealer. but that they will
have a value to the holder upon
which he can realize without selling
them to some easy mark at twice
their cost. Too long have western
communities tried to find prosperity
through boosting land prices without
regard to land values. For in the
end it is value and not price that
must determine the issue. II there
Is provided a ready and cash mar
ket for some product OF the soil at
q figure that assures an adequate re-
turn for labor and investment, then
your land has definite value to you
regardless Of the market price of
lands, and less land will be offered
for sale. More people would come
into the community and market
would thus be provided for other
products and contented and pros
porous community would be found.
The trouble with the Rogue valley Is
not in production; 1t is in market.
The beet brings its market with 1t.

The worst errors of England and
Of France In their struggle with the
central powers have not been those
upon the iield Of battle. They are
errors in diplomacy, errors that have
shaken the faith Of their public in
the efficiency Of the heads Of the
government and that thus impair
the morale Of nation and army. The
defeat Of the Slavs in Poland with
Its thousands Of dead upon each side

LESSONS THAT ARE UNHEEDED

Legislatures spend weeks of time
In discussion and enactment, boards
and commissions and courts of in,
quiry are organized to probe the
questions having to do with public
safety and with the welfare Of the
youth Of the land, but in the face Of
1t there comes periodically such a
calamity az the burning OF the school
at Peabody, Mass, to point out the
ineificiency Of 1t all. There was
school building housing nearly a
thousand tots from s to 10 years of
age, veritable fire trap, yet with
out a fire escape or a means at hand
for removing the children from the
building in case of confagration.
When other recent disasters have oc-
Cured sermons have been preached
upon the criminality of having doors
open inward in buildings occupied by
large bodies of people. When the
boys and girls attempted to find their
way out Of the burning school, doors
that opened in stopped them as ell
fectually as rat is held in a trap.
They were not killed by the fire that
destroyed their little bodies, but by
the people responsible for the condi-
tion that held them back for the
deyourlng flames. There are too
many boards, too many commissions,
too many courts of inquiry that do
their work after 1t is too late. There
will now come extended reports from
