above descriptive article let me say
word about the roads between here
and the Lake of the Woods. There
are only few places where 1t is very
hard automobllng. OF course there
are steep places There are very
sharp turns and there are steep cap
yons close by the side. All these call
for careful driving and no novice
should attempt to take a machine
over the Dead Indian. The worst
features are the protruding rocks in
a few places. Ashland people ought
to see to 1t that these are fixed. 1t
does not seem to me that it would
cost so very much in time or money
to make the necessary improvements.
Several autos passed us on the way,
and surely the day will come when
hundreds of autos will 60 every sum-
mer over the Dead Indian road to
the Lake of the Woods and to points
beyond.-A. r. B.

Much Trout Work
During Past Year

The past season has been the best
on record from trout hatchery view
point in the Rogue river, according
to Henry O'Malley, coast superin-
tendent of the United States Bureau
of Hatcheries, who was in the valley
last week on a trip of inspection of
the Elk creek station. Mr.. O'Malley
was accompanied by Robert S. John
son of Washington, D. c., who is in
general charge of fish culture work
in the United States for the bureau.
1t is Mr.. Johnson's first trip to
the coast and he has inspected all
the stations in the northwest and
will recommend an enlarged paint at
Elk creek, with the construction of
another water wheel and more hold
ing tanks.
IF there is going to be any objeC-
tion on the part of the people of the
locality to our work" said Mr., John
son, I'VE will abandon work here.
Our work is purely altruistic. We
aim to prevent fish depletion of
streams to restock them. We spend
considerable money in the localities
in which we work, and if the locality
affected does not want us, there are
plenty of localities that do"
Mr.. Johnson had reference, to the
protest filed year ago by Medford
anglers to racks in the lower or mid
die river and at Ament dam, and was
assured that as long as the racks
were confined to the upper stretches
of the stream, hearty local Co-opera.
tion would be forthcoming.
A total of 100000 trout, nearly
all steelhead, have been hatched and
liberated at Elk creek station this
year, OF these, $4,000 are still held

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
THE CRADLE AND THE BAR.
lRv Charles NJ. sheldon.l

(By Charles NJ. Sheldon.)
Once on a time an oak tree stood,
Serene and brave and high;
1t reared its strength within the
wood,
Uplifted to the sky.
But hands of men, with axe and saw,
Brought low its great pride,
And with a groan of agony
1t fell to earth and died.
Out of its timber human hands
Fashioned two things apart
Out OF the oak they tore and rent
The center of its heart.
And from one part a cradle grew,
And by the hearth it stood;
And mother-love was centered there,
And all heaven said twas good
But from another part was made
A bar for a saloon,
And over it men spent their years,
And bartered life's great boon.
The soul that in the cradle grew,
Nourished by mothers blood,
Over the bar its heaven lost,
And broke the heart of God!
Cradle of oak and box of oak,
Which is the stronger wood?
Make answer, ye who felled the tree
In the place where it once stoodl
Father in heaven, shall men who
make
The cradles of the land
With self-same hands make bars to
kill?
There's blood on every hand
That would create together here
A dungeon and a star;
Two things that lie two worlds
apart
The cradle and the bar.

REAL COURAGE.

Communities are brave that un-
dertake development projects at the
present time" writes NJ. j. Duryea of
Ashland Our city is turning over
an entirely new page in the book of
her history and is starting out on an
entirely different line of action than
she pursued in the past.
1T takes courage for little COM
munity to so into debt to the sum
of s175,OO0 for the purpose of work
ing out an entirely new problem, and
Ashland, Astoria, Grants Pass and
Roseburg are al showing a large de-
gree of bravery in raising big sums
of money for development purposes. 3"

WILSON QUIET
 ABOUT BRYAN
REFUSES TO DISCUSS STATE MENT THAT NOTE TO GER
 MANY WAS ALTERED.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Prcsi- dent Wilson declines to discuss the statement by Bryan that the note to Germany was altered after the resig- nation of the secretary of state He was asked directly by the represent atives of the press in Washington if he desired to speak on the subject but nothingr could be obtained from h;m. The public generally take it that when Lansing denied Bryan's statement he was speaking for the president but this is the only ground on which could be founded the belief that the presi- dent denies the assertion ofMis form CT right hand man. The matter con- tinues to be the big political sensation of the day. Some of the papers oppos- ed to the administration hint that Bryan did not make so serious a charge without foundation but the administration press treat the eX-sec- retary severely.

GERMANY CLAIMS ANOTHER BIG

SMASH RUSSIANS AGAIN

BERLIN, June 15-The Germans have again inAict- ed terrific blow on the Russians in the country to the northwest of Lemberg and have captured sixteen thou sand Russian troops Our troops have now advanced to the northwest of Jarosaw right up to the Vistua river The movement has been made by General Macknen who now promises to occupy the place in the hearts of Germans as von Hindenburg himself His line extends from point that is only twenty miles northwest of Lem berg for distance of eighty miles to the banks of the VisuIa The Russians made determined effort to out flank his left but failed completely and were driven back In the meantime the Austrans are operating along the Dniester south of Lemberg and that city is placed in position which is very similar to the position in which PZemyS found itself just before its capture by and allies. The feeling here is becoming conviction that Russian resistance is about at an end.

SCHOOL BOARD VERSUS
 THE CITY COUNCIL
Board Still Insists that Old School Building Cannot be Sold
 Except by Itself.

At last nights meeting of the-the city council the city attorney stated that according to decision handed down in a case between the city coun- cil and school board of Nome the council could compel the school board to "come to time" From this the council seemed to believe that it can sell the old school house without ask ing the permission of the board. Mir, Coppernoll secured his information from John Rustgard of Juneau who was city attorney in Nome at the time the matter came up. If memory is correct that Nome case had nothing whatever to do with any question similar to the one before the two Se- ward bodies. In Nome the school board declared that the council had to turn over to the board any funds which the board demanded, provided, no doubt, that the amount asked for did not exceed the amount received from licenses which were specially in- tended for school purposes. The diff ference of opinion in Seward arises from the fact that the city council be- lieves it has the right to sell the old school house while the board states that the house was given for educa- tional purposes before the council ex- isted, and that, therefore, it could not be regarded as within the jurisdiction of the council. The Nome council won their case against the board but the question was a totally different one. However, Curtis MorfOrd of the school board says the board is willing to sell the property if it can secure a fair price for it, but the board apparently still insists that it is the sole arbiter in the matter.

CHICAGO, June 15.-The strikers became violent this afternoon and are now committing crimes which have never been equalled in the history of labor troubles. They are using bombs charged with acids which they throw at the cars on the elevated lines and make travelling almost impossible. Several fights have been reported in various parts of the city and Chicago is almost reduced to the condition of a city attacked by foreign enemy A board of arbitration is about to at tempt to end the strike and will meet this evening but at present matters look very serious.

NEW YORK, June 15.-The "Peace Preparation Conference" began here today The object of the conference is to awaken the United States to the danger to which she is exposed by her lack of preparation to meet hostile power of the first class. Won Meyer, former secretary of the navy, urged the building of a greater navy and de- clared that the present equipment is ineffective and some if it entirely use less. Amongst the other speakers are former Secretaries Stimson, Lyman, Abbott and Dickinson, also Alton Parker, Joseph S. Choate and others
 of almost equal prominence. All of them favor not only the improvement of the present navy but also the build ing of a greater number of new ships.

CALLS FOR BIDS FOR
 FOURTH AVE. WORK. Seward Duma Meets Agan ana Passes More Ordinances
 Etcetera.

A petition presented by the resi- dents of Third avenue, Washington to Adams, for the improvement of that street was held over by the municipal Duma last evening as some of the city council believed that the street ought to be improved further north than Adams. Mir. Youngs even spoke of an "old feeling which he seemed to sug- gest still exists and is nurtWed by one class against another. From what could be gathered it seemed to be sug- gested that the plebians rather resent giving board sidewalks to the patri- clans. Mir. Crawford, as far as a com parative stranger could see, was in this case the tribune of the people. He fought hard against putting back the petition and said there was no reason for not acting on it. He voted alone, however, and then came the petition from residents of Second avenue and what do you think?-1Ir. Crawford moved to have the petition LAID OVER. In this he also voted alone. The Second avenue petitioners want a four foot sidewalk.
 Soon afterwards Mir. Chamberlin addressed the council and declared that the work should be carried on as soon as possible to give employment to the men of the town until railroad work starts up. The city engineer Mir. Whitfield, declared he could put forty men to work tomorrow if the council said so.
 'Lay it over for a week" says Mr. Crawford

The ordinance calling for bids for the work on Fourth avenue was pass ed. The bids will be opened June 24. lIr. Chamberln moved a resolution to the effect that it was the sense of the council that additions should be built to the schools to provide for the coming increase in the number of children, that a heating plant, etc. should be installed. He expressed the belief that two additional teachers will be necessary, and it was agreed that the school committee should in- vestigate with a view to getting esti- mates of the probable expense.
 Just before adjournment Mir. Youngs requested that his resignation as a member of the assessment com mittec be placed on record. Mir. Youngs very properly resigned at the previous meeting when he found that personal or petty political reasons, which seem to sway the duma to such an extent in all matters, had caused the solons to turn down the recOm- mendation of the committee in the appointment of an assessor.
