mercial club, who said he was not
present in that capacity, but merely
as an interested citizen, when called
upon for remarks emphatically en-
dorsed Mr.. Bavis and council for the
views they held on the necessity of in
augurating an improvement policy.
Council must plan for the future"
he said, the same as good business
man would. If there is an essential
need for more money to properly care
for the city's interest than you will
have at your command for the next
twenty years, then go out and get the
money There are several things you
must take under consideration. Will
S150,000 be enough to finance the
needed improvements? Will the city
have something satisfactory and per-
manent after the money has been
spent?
City Only Patches Streets.
I'VE are woefully backward in our
street system. We are continually
patching, patching, patching and at
the same time throwing our money
away. AS for myself I wouldn't hest
tate for minute to float S150,OOO In
bonds if the money was needed and
the city is to be benefited by it's ex-
penditure, and by providing the pro-
posed improvements 1 believe the city
would be benefited.
Il was greatly surprised when Mr..
Bavis told me that these bonds could
be floated without tax increase. I
examined his figures and let me tell
you his proposition is not the dream of
an idler. 1t is good, sound business
proposition.
Better streets and sewers mean
better property values and a better
city. They will benefit everybody
particularly the affected property
owners. Money spent for betterments
is not money wasted, but an invest
ment"
Bad Roads Mean Loss.
In indorsing a permanent improve
ment policy Councilman Russell said
that there was no relief in sight for
this city. so far as needed improve
ments were concerned. for a number
of years If the city expected to pro-
vide them out of it's income.
I'm the meantime, under such a
system. the city would not be we'll
cared for" he said
BAD streets are a dead loss to the
citys business and a mighty poor ad-
vertisement. Lately l have visited
every city in this district and l am
not proud of our streets in COMPARE
son with streets 1 saw in other towns
Let US borrow money, If necessary,
to provide for better streets and sew
ers. Any live business man, if he can
not provide needed betterments out of
the surplus Of his business does not
hesitate to borrow money. am
glad we are at last facing the future
and are prepared to map out some
policy of permanent improvements;
that we are to abandon the old policy
Of existing from hand to mouth.
'1n improving our streets I would
at first confine this work to the
streets in the central business dis
tricts. then to the main arteries lead
ing out of the city. There is no dis
putting the need of a better sewer sys-
tenn. The condition of some sewers
Is not only menace to property but
to the health Of the community"

Every newborn baby should
have the eyes carefully washed
out by the nurse or doctor inn
mediately after birth. This
may be done with any simple,
non-irritating antisephc, like
boric acid solution. In some
states it is legally prescribed
that an antiseptic shall be
dropped into the eyes, and the
one most commonly advised is
a / per cent solution of silver
nitrate, a drop in each eye.
This is an almost certain pre-
ventative of the serious eye in
flammation known as ophthal-
mia neonatorum, the infectious
inflammation which has termi-
mated in partial or complete
blindness in so many cases.

CURRENT THINKING
RICHEST FRENCH LANDS HELD
BY GERMANS.

The importance OF the 5 per cent
Of French territory held by the Ger
mans is strikingly set forth in a
statement given to the press today
by the National Geographic Society.
Il shows that while it is comparative
lysmall in area it is very large indeed
in industrial and agricultural import
ance. It says.
Holding only about 10000 square
miles Of French territory, or less than
one-twentieth of continental France.
the Germans have behind their ad-
vaneed lines nearly one-half of in
dustrial France and the homes Of one
tenth Of her population. Here are
the mines, the foundries and factories,
and the dairies and farms which are
the price. the wealth and the strength
Of modern France. In this narrow
strip under German occupation there
is produced 10 per cent of all coal
mined in France, 80 per cent of all
of the native-mined iron and nearly
half of the republics output Of man
ufactured articles.
THE iron and steel industry of the
great republic lies almost entirely
back Of the German trenches. France
stood fourth among the nations Of the
world as a producer of iron and steel
with an annual production of $780,
600 tons Of pig iron and Of 3,100, 900
tons of steel. This industry was CEN
tered and contained in northern
France, for here were the raw mate
rials.
With the French and Belgian iron
and coal fields in their possession, the
Germans would have almost monop-
oily of the iron and steel industries of
Europe. Germany is now second
only to the United States in the pro-
| duction of iron and steel. Before war
conditions set in the United States
produced annually 24,50O,0OO tons OF
steel; Germany, 1890, 900; Great
Britain, 6040,000. Germany is third
among the third great industrial ma
tions Of the world in the production
of coal, and with the French and Bel
gian mines behind her lines might
easily equal the output of Great Brit
tain, second upon the list. Thus, un-
usual interest attaches to the small
strlpts of foreign lands back of the
German lines.
"The stretch of bare 10000 square
miles. with its population Of 4,000,-
600, its bounteous agriculture, its rich
roal and iron mines and its teeming
manufactures, is one Of the most i'm
portant districts in all Europe. some
idea Of its richness can be had from
the fact that while the average pei
acre value for all France is about
$3.50. that of these northern depart
ments is S235."

ENGLISH NAVAL STRATEGY

n HE English public is dis
W satisfied with the con-
duct of their navy during
the war yet how much justice
there is to their complaint is
not easy to determine.
England has a navy vastly
superior to that of Germany
and it was anticipated at the
outset of the war that the Ger
man fleet would soon be de-
stroyed. But this has not been
done. Comparatively few Ger
man warships have been sunk
and there has been no great
naval battle.
Is this because of incompet-
ency on the part of the English
admiralty or because of Ger
man eleverness in keeping their
battleships and cruisers out Of
harms way? The logical view
is that the German navy has
been safe from John Bulls
reach or he would have given
fight long ago.
England, however, has con-
trolled the sea sufficiently to
annihilate German commerce.
Perhaps this was all that Eng
land desired and the navy
leaders took the view that Ger
man warships could do no
harm as long as they remained
in port. Again the Kiel canal
may be the explanation for
that canal makes the German
navy hard to catch.
In submarine strength also
England surpasses Germany
but with the German fleet in
hiding and German commerce
off the seas there has been no
work for English submarines.
On the other hand English
merchant ships have been
tempting targets for the Ger
man undersea fighters.
To the English the naval sit
uation is exasperating but they
can afford to wait for the Eng
lish position is vastly better
than that if Germany. Instead
of being open to censure the
English naval strategy may
have been extremely wise
After the war is over it will be
possible to Judge of this more
thoroughly than at present.

mF Umatilla county would
celebrate a Good Roads
Day each spring and if
farmers and townsmen in the
different sections would gen
orally turn out to do a day or
two of volunteer work it would
help considerably in solving
the road problem. Then if
these same men would consider
themselves responsible for the
condition of the roads in their
neighborhoods all the time the
county would not have to
spend so much money in order
to obtain so little in the way OF
work on dirt roads.

GRAIN SHIPS NEEDED MOST

Mt their conference in Seat
VI tie the western governors

coast.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1915-05-21

Mt their conference in Seat
u tie the western governors
asked that more warships
be stationed upon the Pacific
coast.
That is alright.
But the ships in which the
farmers of the inland empire
are most concerned just now
are not fighting boats but grain
ships to carry this summers
wheat to the export market.
With charters ranging up
wards of 72 shillings there is
room for anxiety. Such figures
mean it now costs in the neigh
borhood of so cents a bushel
to carry wheat to Europe. In
other words the ship owners
charge almost as much as
wheat is worth to take it to
market and the situation tends
to depress prices to the farmer.
These high ocean rates are
due principally to the lack OF
ships and this very situation
was foreseen by the admins
tration when it pressed the
shipping bill for passage by
congress. The measure would
have relieved the tension and
with the government operating
the business our export COM
merce would have been free
from hold-up charges.
But the republicans in con-
gress opposed the measure and
while in the minority were able
to block the bill through fill
buster tactics in the senate.
We are now getting the
fruits of that filibuster in char
ters at 70 shilllngs and hlghei
with every expectation the sit
uation will be worse before the
summer is over.
If our farmers this summer
get but rs cents a bushel fol
wheat that sells in Liverpool a

THE NEEDLESSLY BLIND

ut is said by authorities that
one fourth of the blind in
state institutions of this
country are afflicted because
of easily preventable eye troub-
les which appear shortly after
birth. Think what it means to
say that 25 per cent of blind
ness could be avoided merely
through abe work of moment
by a nurse or mother.
The following advice as to
the preeaution that should be
taken is from a reliable physi-
clan:

NO ROCKEFELLER PRESS
FOUNDATION

.S press agent and general.
y adviser to plutocracy on
publicity Mr.. Ivy L. Lee
does not seem to have any il
lusions as to the usefulness of
a trust-controlled press. While
planning a bold stroke in a
merger that would make the
state of Colorado an append
age, a subsidiary, as it were,
of Standard Oil, and discussing
with Mr.. Rockefeller the form
a letter from Gov. Ammons to
President Wilson should take,
he found time to embody the
following sensible conclusion
in his letters to 26 Broadway:
| do not believe that |
will ever come to the point
of thinking that you
should establish and be-
come responsible for a
string of newspapers.
So it seems that a string OF
Rockefeller-owned daily news
papers was a part of a plan
strongly urged a year ago to
champion big business and
place it in a more favorable
light before the public. An
other feature of the plan seems
to have contemplated an in
crease in the issues of the ma
tional organ of the Chamber OF
Commerce of the United States
and its employment in the pro-
paganda.
A trust-endowed press would
be ruinOusly expensive and pitt
fully futile so far as any per.
manent influence on American
sentiment is concerned. Rock
efeller foundations will be
wisely reserved for fields other
than that of journalism.-St
