LEAP YEAR

The custom which ordains that a

eight hundred years. An act of tho

COOS BAY TRADE NOT FOR PORTLAND

The Portland businessmen visiting Coos Bay have

products When Portland backs that section with it's
money and furnishes market for it's products it will

offers poor market for the products of that section
About the only thing Portland offer market for is

the city government of Portland is running it's wood

other hand the Coos cities bound to divert of the

Southern Oregon
To Have New Line

San Francisco, Oct 13.-The opening
of the large section of richly productive
country between Grants Pass and Wal
do, Ore, is now assured, according to a
report today that John Twohy and his
son, Robert Twohy, of the railroad con
tracing firm of Twohy Bros. company,
of this city, had succeeded in arrang-
ing the sale of 100000 of bonds of
the old proposed California & Coast rail
road.
Mr. Twohy has long been active in
promoting the railroad which originally
was projected to run between Grants
Pass, Ore, on the line of the Southern
Pacific, to Crescent City, Cal, dis
tance of approximately 90 miles.
The city of Grants Pass raised $780,
900, and completed, more than year
ago, 10 miles of the proposed rail
road from Grants Pass to Wilderville,
in Oregon. Later the road was taken
over by Mr.. Twohy.
1t is the present intention to extend
the road from Wilderville to Waldo, a
distance of 45 miles from Grants Pass,
and it is estimated that 100000 will
be required for this construction. At
Waldo are a number of productive cop

wish this charitable undertaking full
success, we should not overlook the
possible peril to which recipients of
these cast-off clothing may be ex-
posed.
Medical science has fully demon
strated that germs, or the bacilli of
several of serious contagious diseases,
may survive for long period of time
in clothing worn by patients during
their period of illness. An instance
is on record showing the germs of
scarlet fever having survived during
seven years in the garments of a vic
tim, which had been stored away; and
when worn again by a child communi-
Gated the contagion to the little in
nocent wcarer.
1t will be remembered that when it
was proposed by the American people
to send secondhand clothing to the
victims of war in Belgium the health
authorities in that stricken country
gave notice that such apparel could not
be allowed entrance into Belgium be-
cause of the very grave danger that
some of the garments may carry germs
of contagious diseases.
For public safety every article re-
ceived by the committee in this city

the supervision of the authorized of
ficers of the Board of Health and any
one to whom such apparel may be of

tagiOn.

HOW TO BEGIN

The governor gets $1,000 a year sal
airy, plus $500 travelling expenses. Cub
it to $4,000, His private secretary gets
$1,000; cut to $500.
The secretary of state $4,000; cut to
1000. His chief deputy $4,000: cut to
81, 800.
The treasurer $4,5O0; cut to $2.40O.
His chief deputy $4,000; cut to Sl.5OO.
The constitution fixes the salary of
the governor and secretary of state at
TloOO each and the treasurer at $500.
In 1903 the legislature smashed the con.
stltutlon and raised these salaries.
The attorney general $4,000; cut to
400. His three assistants $500; cut
to $4,000
State engineer $4,000; cut to So 900.
His assistant $4,000; cut to $l,S0O.
Labor commissioner $4,000 cut to
$1,S00.
Circuit judges (25 of them) $4,000
each; cut to $4,000.
Supreme court justices G. of them)
$1,000 each; cut to $2,40O. Art. XIII
of the constitution fixes this salary at
$1,000. In 1907 the legislature raised il
to $4,000. Three years later Art VIZ
'''N NNho'AtANibil was uHltuutu lbHY-
ing this salary open. Now which holds.
Art. NH? or Art. VII? or the uncon-

The public service commissioners
(three) $1,000 each cut to 50 600. Their
secretary and thirteen others get S2O,-
coo; cut to $4,000.
Industial accident commissioners
(three) $4,000 each; cut to $l,S00.
Here is saving of $lOl, 500 a year
on salaries. The margin would still be
high enough to tempt brainy men now
in office to seek reelection.
The last Legislature appropriated
$4,000 for sectarian institution. This
use of the taxing power violates our
fundamental democracy.
The fish and game institution calls
for S99,70O a year, and is of but little
general benefit. Cut it out
