magazines which they wish to con-
tribute that these will be greatfully
received and that proper recognition

FINANCIAL AFFAIRS OF
DR.. HILLS ARE AIRED

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. IA con-
troversy over the financial affairs Of
DR. Newell Dwight Hills. pastor o..
Plymouth church, Brooklyn. n. Y f.
who lectured at the Gladstone Chau-
tauqua few weeks ago. and whose
financial embarrassment was disclos-
ed at the time in Portland. is prom
ised through disclosures recently
made in New York and other eastern
cities.
When DR.. Hills was in Portland
he was made defendant in suit
brought by Mrayton & Lawbaugh, OF
Chicago. for the collection Of debt
aggregating more than $4,000. This
case was settled out OF court and led
to the explanation by Dr. Hills,
through his attorney, ex-senator c.
W. Fulton, that the Brooklyn pastor
had taken TO the Chautauqua circuit
to satisfy the debts Of his nephews,
whom he had introduced into the
business world, and who had become
involved in heavy financial losses.
Now. however comes Frank L.
Ferguson, Of 66 Orange street. Brook
lyn. who SAYS that for five years he
has handled all DR.. Hills financial
affairs and that the doctor himself
is largely involved through his own
unfortunate investments Mr. Fer
guson charges several men of inter-
national reputation We're led into un-
fortunate business deals by Dr. Hills
who afterwards attempted to assume
their losses thereby.
Mr.. Ferguson says that he recent
" informed Senator Fulton that DR.
Hills now owes various creditors
about 100000, and that his eastern
attorneys are endeavoring to COM
promise with his creditors He inti-
mates that unless DR. Hills is able
seon to make satisfactory settlement
Of these claims. he will become in
volved in further legal entangle-
ments.

Thirty-eight members Of the crew OF
the British cargo steamer Caucasian
torpedoed off the British coast, owe
their lives to dlminutive Pomer.
anan dog.
The story was told today at head
quarters Of the National Canine De-
fense League where Captain Robin
son Of the Caucasian was awarded n
silver medal for saving the life OF
the dog and consequently the crew
The Caucasian was torpedoed aft
er a submarine had pursued the yes

swarming into the fboats Captain
Robinson handed Betty, his wife's
ten months old Pomeranian dog to
the second mate directing that the
animal be placed in a lifeboat The
mate handed Betty" to a member
Of the crew who accidentally drop
ped her overheard.
When the captain entered the boat
he saw the little dog swimming to-
ward the submarine He immedi-
ately jumped into the water and
swan about a quarter of a mile.
When he reached the dog he placed
It on his shoulder and was surprised
to find that ne was within a few
yards Of the submarine. The Ger
man officer of the craft, standing on
deck, addressed him in imperfect
English:
Il had made up my mind to blow
up your lifeboats because you did
not stop your ship, but ! will not do
so now as reward for your brave
swim to save your little dog"
Captain Robinson swan back to
his lifeboat and the submarine pro-
ceeded on It's search for other VIC

"She will be plump and well-rounded

DR.. David Starr Jordan, chancellor
Of Stanford University, characterized
war as "a great mollycoddle factory.
in an address on "Eugenics and
War q"
There are two great arguments
against war" said Dr. Jordan. First,
It is fundamentally wicked. The sec
ond reason Is that the strongest men
are chosen for the slaughter and the
men who are left after a wasting
war are men too weak In personality
to think or act"

What Darlanellcs Campaign Means
LONDON, July 21.-(By Maill--
When the allies force the Dardanelles
If they do--one of the most I'M
portant victories OF the war will have
been won, according to neutral
diplomat who arrived today from the
near east.
The general assumption in England
and elsewhere, that the operations on
Gallipoli peninsula and In the straits
are a costly side issue is wrong. he
declared. If tn allies los 100 600
men in forcing the Turks back on
Constantinople and eventually taking
the Turkish capitol, these men will
have been well spent.
Not only will victory for the allies
in the Dardanelles have a great NOR
al effect on the war situation but IL
will mean that Russia's fighting ca
pabilities will be doubled II not treb-
led. Russia today has millions Of

and America can pour into Russia in
the necessary quantities and with the
necessary speed through the Dardan-

Germany and Austria.

GOOD ROADS, NOT CHEAP
ROADS

- OWN in Coos county q
- proposition to bond the
county in the sum of foul
hundred thousand dollars fol
road improvement is being dis
cussed. Up in Union county
there is talk also Of four hun
dred thousand dollar issue for
the same purpose.
In the discussion is noted a
sentiment in favor of an i'm
provement which experience
has shown will not outlast the
life of the bonds.
A consideration above all
other things in issuing bonds
for any purpose is to obtain
something that will live longer
than the Indebtedness. Not to
do so is financial folly. Money
raised by bond issues for road
improvement should be spent
with a view to secure the most
permanent construction in
grade and surface. 1t is better
to build only a few miles and
build well than many miles
which will go to pieces in a few
years and have to be recon-
structed.
The first essential in high
way development is to estab-
lish a road bed well drained
and with easy grades and safe
curves, a road bed that will not
have to be torn up in the fu-
ture and one that will sustain
the traffic Of the years to come.
Next comes the surface. This
should be regulated by the am
cunt of traffic and local con-
ditions. 1t would not be good
business to lay a macadam sur
face on a good dirt road which
has a light traffic, or to put
down a hard surface pavement
where a macadam would serve
the purpose.
When the traffic requires an
ever increasing charge for up
F, keep it is economy to pave the
surface. There is no such a
thing as a permanent pave
