COUNCIL PREPARES TO GUARD MINORS BY
CURFEW and PROTECT OLDER BOYS, TOO

Under the terms of curfew ordi-
nance introduced Wednesday night
before the city council, at the instance
of the Parent-Teachers association,
protection is to be guaranteed min
ors, and boys over q years of age,
too, are to be safeguarded if the
council heeds the suggestion made by
Mayor Phillips that cigar stands be
compelled to close at 1 a. m. The
object of the ordinance introduced
and of the mayors proposed meas
ure, alike, is to keep youths from
roaming the streets or getting into
undesirable company.
The curfew ordinance, which was
referred for a week to the police
committee, provides that children un-
der Is years must not be on the street,
unaccompanied by parent or guard
ian, between p. m. and 5 a. M, from
October to March, or from 8 p. m.
to 5 a. m. from April to September.
In the summer months theaters are
not to suffer minors under Is to

By February /, according to re-
ports coming to Grays Harbor lum-
bermen, conditions in the lumber
market will have recovered from the
depression that has ruled since the
start of the war in Europe. Buyers
from the Middle West are in the
field with large orders, some of which
have been offered to mills here.
Ties, car stock and other material
are needed by many railway lines of
the Northwest, and their wants must
be supplied very soon. The wave of
prosperity which undoubtedly has
been sweeping over East and Middle
West at last is reaching the Pacific
Coast, according to these reports.
1t also is true that Middle West
ern retail yards are badly depleted.
During the dull times of the past two
years they have been filling their rush
orders from Southern lumber mills,
shipments from which would reach
them in a few days; but those mills
now are rushed from other directions
and no longer can make quick deliv-
cries. The situation demands that
yards of the Middle West go into the
market to replenish their stocks.

HATCHERY OUTPUT
HERE NOW DOUBLE
ORECON'S RECORD
Superintendent L. w. MayhaII Gives
Interesting Figues on Work at
Plants in Washington

L. w. Mayhall, general superin-
tendent Of state fish hatcheries in
Southwestern Washington, who was
in Aberdeen the other day, says that
the output Of hatcheries in his dis
trict, under present progression, will
be about double that OF all the state
hatcheries in Oregon.
This statement, says Mr.. Mayhall,
also will hold true as regards the
salmon fry now being turned loose
in streams tributary to Grays Harbor,
as compared with all the streams in
Oregon. At the Chehalis hatchery
now are 33,o0O,O00 eggs and the sup
ply will go over 4o,000,0OO; at the
Humptulips hatchery are 45.ooO,OoO,
which will soon exceed 50,OOO,O0O.

The local electric companies will
participate in the national prosperity
week, next week, in number of
ways.
The Electric Service company will
install additional lights on Heron
street for a distance of three blocks.
This lighting will consist of 100 candle
power high efficiency nitrogen filled
Mazda lamps, mounted on the trolley
poles on each side of the street and
perfectly aligned so as to resemble
somewhat the ornamental street lights
used in many cities.
The company will also illuminate
one block in Cosmopolis and two
blocks in Hoquiam, but this will be
done by streamers like those used
on the Fourth of July.
This lighting, especially in Aber-
deem, will make the streets attrac-
tive by night and no doubt bring
many people down town in the eve
ming. The merchants doubtless will
take advantage of this and see to it
that their display windows are look
ing their best.
Electric Cooking.
The company has engaged the SER
vices of a woman demonstrator and
will conduct electric cooking demon.

BEREA'S WINTER TERM
Opens on January 1thl

Rooms must be engaged now. For
some time il has been evident that
twice as many young people desire
TO attend Berea the coming winter
as can possibly be sheltered.
First of all, notice has been given,
as shown in another column, that M
more students can be received for
the present from outside the noun
tain region.
In the second place, notice has
been given that no one must come
unless he has engaged room in adj
vance. Nearly all the rooms are al
ready taken. There are few more
for students in the Normal and Vo-
cational Departments. Whoever is
intending to be in Berea the coming
winter must write at once to Secre-
tary Vaughn and enclose 500 as a
deposit for securing room.
Any person who is not present at
the beginning of the term, will for
felt his room unless he has already
paid the full rent in advance.
In the case of Normal students
who must stay out beyond the 5th OF
January to finish their schools, spe-
cial arrangements will be made to
help them make up all arrearages in
study after they arrive.
A number of dwelling houses are
being fitted up for women's dormi-
tories. and two new dormitories for
men are under construction-one
finished and the other to be ready
by January 5. But even with these
enlarged accommodations, many will
be disappointed. Make your plans
definite and write today. With cor
dial anticipations.
Sincerely yours,
Marshall f. Vaughn, Secretary,
Berea. Ky.
