Oil Tests Favor
Western CrudeS

An article in the National Petrol
cum News dealing with oil tests made
by car manufacturers, says regarding
tests by the Packard company:
"A year ago this company made an
exhaustive test of motor oils.
This test consisted in taking six
new motors and using in each a care
fully measured quantity of one of the
six standard motor oils then on the
market. The oils were carefully an
alyzed before they were placed in the
motors. The motors were then start
ed running under pressure equal to
an average load and allowed to run
for a period of twelve hours. Every
hour the oil was tested for tempera-
ture, viscosity, flash and fire test and
sealing quality.
AT the end of the twelve hours
the oil was again analyzed and the
motors we're torn down and examined
for carbon deposit.
Assistant Engineer Hunt says he
is inclined to favor oil made Of west
ern asphalt base crude, rather than
oil of eastern paraffne base crude. ~

Tn. Cote. Gun In Persia,


The expression ito give cup OF cof-
fee" has In Persia a somewhat omi-
nous significance. This is due to the
fact that the coffee cup is one recog-
nized medium for conveying poison.
Some years ago the governor of Aspa-
dana. having long been at daggers
drawn with the chief Of powerful
mountain tribe, determined in this way
to put an end 10 all trouble. He pro
fessed to entertain great degree OF
friendship and esteem for the chieftain
and invited bin to visit him at his pal
ace. The chief unsuspiciously came,
accompanied by his two young sons.
For week they were royalty enter
tained. But at last one morning when
the chief came into his hosts presence
he was coldly received, and an attend
ant soon stepped forward with single
cup of coffee in his hand, which he Of
fered to the guest. The latter could
not fail to understand that he was
doomed. Preferring. however steel to
poison. he declined the cup and was
thereupon. at signal from his host
stabbed to death.

Governor Pr0ClaimS
Day for Fire Study

Governor Withycombe has issued
proclamation designating October 8,
forty-third anniversary of the disas-
trous Chicago fire, as fire prevention
day in Oregon. The proclamation
cites the fact that in 1914 more than
$4,000,000 worth of property was
destroyed by fire in Oregon and that
the annual loss per capita in the state
is far in excess of the 1892 per cap
ita loss for the United States as a
whole.
The governor calls for efficient or
ganization against unregulated fire
and urges individuals and communi-
ties, as far as possible, to have in
flammable materials removed from
hotels, stores, dwellings and other
buildings. Establishment of fire
drills is urged.
The proclamation follows:
Whereas, it is becoming ever
more evident to all of us that the
great losses which we are constantly
sustaining from fires are, in large
measure, preventable through proper
precautions; and
Whereas, there is a growing ten
dency to study the problems of fire
destruction with view to combating
it scientifically; and
Whereas, we of Oregon should be
especially interested because of the
great losses locally sustained, which
bring our estimated per capital annual
fire loss far in excess of the 1892
per capita loss of the United States
as a whole, and this in comparison
with a per capita annual loss in Euro
pean countries of less than 80 cents;
there having been in Oregon in the
year 1914 over 100000 worth of
property destroyed by fire; and
Whereas, it is fair to believe that
by giving the matter proper thought
and precautionary attention our loss
es may be measurably lessened, and
an interest in the entire problem can
we'll be focused through setting aside
a day each year when it shall be es-
pecially considered, as is done IN
many other states;
Therefore, l do hereby designate
October 8, 1915, as fire prevention
day in Oregon, that day being the an
niversary of the disastrous Chicago
fire of 1872. And on fire prevention
day urge that efforts be made to or
ganize our state in an efficient cam
paign against the common enemy OF
all-unregulated fire. And it would

Our Mind at Rest;
It Was Not John

The many Ashland friends Of John
Dugger, who was formerly employed
in the local Southern Pacific offices
and is now located in Oregon City,
will be glad to learn that John
was not the Dugger who was arrested
for chicken stealing some time ago.
The following item was enclosed in
letter from Mr.. Digger asking us to
set forth the truth concerning the af-
fair:
"A strange case Of mistaken ident-
ity has resulted in deep troubles for
John H. Dugger, an employe of one
of the local paper companies
"Dugger has received a letter from
his mother, Mrs. Lou Dugger, of
Boonery, accusing him of stealing
chickens. i did not know that | had
raised my son to be chicken thief,
the letter read. Digger began an in
vestigation, for, he declares, he has
never taken thing that belonged to
somebody else and found that a
week ago a man named John Dugger
was arrested and fined for chicken
stealing in the recorders court. His
mother read the story Of John Dug
gers arrest and conviction in Port
land newspaper and thought that ii
was her son.
"Dugger came to Oregon City from
Ashland several months ago and does
not know the other man with his
name. He is well known throughout
southern Oregon, he says, and regrets
that the story of the arrest and con-
viction of man with his name should
be so widely circulated. The Dugger
who stole the chickens lives at Park
place"

DEPOT DOINGS.

The attendance at the Panama
Pacific exposition from February
20 to September 23 was 13,219,S32,
according to a circular letter pub
lished by the Southern Pacific Com
pany.
According to advices from Salem,
President Sproule has telegraphed
the state railroad commission that
the Southern Pacific now has 400
cars en- route to the Willamette valley
to relieve the car shortage in that
section.
Switchmen employed by all Chica-
go railroads have petitioned for an
increase of cents per hour. Brother
hood officials say that demands from
the switchmen in other cities will fol-
low. The railroad officials say that
switchmen are paid more in Chicago
than any other city in the United
States.
The state railroad commission sent
q telegram to President Sproule or
the Southern Pacific the last of the
week demanding an explanation for
the shortage of cars to handle the
lumber shipments from the VILLAIN
ette valley. General Freight Agent
Hinshaw says that there has been
a small shortage but that cars were
getting more numerous and that few
complaints had been received.
The latest economy measure adopt
ed by the Southern Pacific is the
adopting of form of envelope which
permits of use several times. The
company seeks suggestions from its
employees for money-saving methods
or devices. When the thousands OF
envelopes used every month are con-
sidered it may easily be seen that the
new envelope, which may be used
seven times, will be the means for a
great saving.

This One Is Just
Too Good To Keep

This one is too good to keep, and
although the victim tried to bribe the
reporter with cigars and soda water,
the reporters sense of humor, while
it did not prevent him from accepting
the bribe, will not allow him to let
the incident get by without notice.
We will compromise with our friend,
the victim, however, and let you guess
his name.
The victim was one of those who
was "going to bring back the limit"
Friday morning and arose bright and
early to be first in the fields where
the elusive honk of the china pleas
ant is heard. He had one "staked
out" right in bunch of weeds in a
fence corner. The unwise man had
had the lack of sense to tell couple
of friends, however, and hence the
sequence.
He was sure that the pheasant was
there, having seen several in the vi
cinity on former trips through that
locality, and was therefore very eau
tious in his approach. Crawling care
fully along the fence he glimpsed the
brilliant plumage of beautiful cock
pheasant, posing in a listening atti-
tude. Now while most of these sports
men tell you that they never shoot
until the bird is on the wing, ones
own conscience is more easily quieted
than the jibes of the cronies in the
cigar store, and so our valiant friend
raised his trusty pump gun to his
shoulder and let go at the motionless
pheasant. Not a sound broke the
stiffness for a second after the shot
rang out, and with exultant thoughts
of the story Of how he brought down
the beauty at a good fifty-five yards,
by jove," our hero leaped to recover
the prey. Our huntsman's aim had
been good, as splatters of stuffing
from the nicely mounted pheasant
testified. A cackle of laughter from
behind some brush nearby completed
the disillusionment.

MAKING Lenses.

There is absolutely no other human
occupation that requires the accuracy
Of observation and the dellcacy of
touch that are requisite for the max
ing of the finest lenses. These are the
most perfect products of human hands.
1t may convey some idea Of the labor
required in the making of large lens
TO say that at least one years time is
required for the grinding and polishing
of thirty inch object glass. A little
lens two inches in diameter requires
the unremittng care and attention of
a skilled workman for two or three
days. 1t is easy, then, to see why 1t is
that even lenses for high class photo
graphic work are costly. A forty inch
object glass for large telescope can
not be made in much less than four
years time, and i everything does not
60 just right it may require much
longer than that.

seem to me well worth while that, so
far as possible, instruction concern
ing the dangers OF fire and the meth
ods of fire prevention be given in the
schools on that day and on other
days as we'll. And | would further
urge that on fire prevention day in
dividuals and communities undertake
domestic and municipal house-clean-
ing and inspection, to the end that
inflammable rubbish may be re-
moved; that heating appliances and
chimneys be examined and placed in
safe condition; that the occupants of
hotels, factories and institutions
housing numbers of people be safe
guarded that fire drills be estab-
lished and operated; and, in short,
that every Encouragement be given to
a healthy public preparation for the
lessening of our fire losses, through
intelligent and adequate fire preven-
tion.

unto set my hand this 22nd day OF

The Test OF Education.

The test of a good education is the
degree of mental culture which it i'm
parts. for education, so far as its object
is scientific, is the discipline of the
mind. The reader must not overlook
what is meant by the word mind when
used in reference to education. That
some dumb animals are possessed OF a
sort of understanding is admitted. but
it has never been asserted that they
enjoy the use of reason. Man, how
ever, has the faculty called reason In
addition to his understanding. Accord
ingly what we mean by saying that
the object Of education is the cultiva-
tion of our minds or that the goodness
of an education varies with the de-
gree of mental culture amounts simply
to this-that we better perform our
functions as rational creatures in pro-
portion as we carry further the dis
tinction between ourselves and the
brute creation-that is, in proportion as
we are better fitted for the discourse OF
reason.-John William Donaldson.
