Pleased With Cre.co.

Among the L. T. K. trail boosters
were two newspaper men, and one of
them, Editor Heynek, of the Tama
News, makes the following mention in
his paper of his impressions of Cresco
and the reception accorded the party
while here -
Editor Hynek of the Ames News
gives his readers several columns of
interesting matter relating to the tour
made over the popular L. T. X. trail.
Here is Bro. Hynek's impressions of
Cresco.
The shades of night were falling as
the boosters entered Cresco. Here
Banker w. H. Tillson and County At
torney Reed were waiting. A fine
supper was ready and'the hotel rooms
had been engaged by the Cresco Com
mercial club. After supper the wives
of Cresco boosters entertained the
wives of the IL. T. K" drivers at a
theatre party, while the men had a
discussion on boosting in the court
house.
Cresco is a live city, one of the
livest in Iowa. They have beauti-
full opera house, perhaps the best Of
any city of Cresco's size. They have
miles and miles of paving, fine streets,
clean alleys, wonderful buildings and
the boosting spirit to give away. In
the morning the IL. T. K" party as
certained that the Cresco Commercial
club paid all the bills of the visitors.
Tama money was absolutely no good
in Cresco for no one would accept it.
The Tama boosters owe debt to
Cresco and must pay it back soon.
1t rained all night in Cresco. So
the boosters had to wait until the sun
dried the roads Saturday forenoon.
The trip was resumed late in the fore
noon to Kendallville, picturesque

PACIFIC COMPANY
PAYS BOYS IN ARMY
Employees In Militia To Be
Paid In Full for Year If
Gone That Long

San Francisco, June 23.-The Pacific
Telephone and Telegraph company an
nounce that:
The companies constituting the Bell
Telephone system have agreed upon the
following.
Employees of the Bell system who
on the 18th Of June, 1916, were members
of the National Guard militia, or who
have been called into service by orders
issued in accordance with the proclama-
tion of the president of the United
States of that date, or who may rs call
ed into service by similar orders, will
be allowed full pay at the normal rate
in effect on that date in each case dur
ing absence in such service not to ex-
ceed three full months and the fraction
of the month in which called into serv-
ice, and thereafter for a period not
exceeding nine additional months full
pay at such rate less the amount in
each case paid by the government.
"Such employees will also be consider
ed for the purposes Of the employees ;
benefit plan as being continuously en-
ployed in the system while absent on
such duty and upon return from such
duty, or after honorable discharge,
will be given such employment as the
needs of the service will permit and the
employe is able and fitted to perform
"Owing to the Importance of our
service to the government and the pub
lie in time of war we must take care
not to cripple it, therefore, the names of
those who are willing to enlist hereaft-
er will be noted and if subsequently de-
sired by the government we will aid in
supplying skilled men for the particular
service for which men specially trained
are required. Those who hereafter en-
list with the company's approval will
be treated in the same manner as en-
ployes who were members of the Ma
tion Guard or Naval militia on June Is,

Further consideration in due time
will be given to the matter of service
beyond the period herein provided for.
In case the state or nation makes pro-
vision for dependents of the men in SER
vice or the situation is otherwise sub
stantially changed, this arrangement
may be modified as in the Judgment
of the companies the changed conditions
may warrant

Why England Followed
Germanv's Lead In
Saving the Daylight
iRy United Press.A

London, July 6.-About the only OBJ
lection to the recently adopted daylight
saving scheme now being agitated in
America was that it was made in Ger
many. But England isn't so touchy on
that point as she used to be. She has
learned lots of things from Germany
in the last two years. Why, they even
make Frankfurter sausages right here
in London these days, and serve them
with Teutonic-style potato salad and
sauer kraut.
Germany began robbing darkness in
favor of daylight on May l, by setting
all the clocks in the empire ahead an
hour. Great Britain followed by do
ing the same thing. On October l the
clocks will be turned back again.
There is yearly gain of 154 hours
of useful daylight, equivalent to II
working days of nine hours each.
Gas bills are much lower, both in the
home and in the factory. The total year.
ly saving in this item alone is estimat.
ed at $12,500,000.
Railway companies will save about
s5O0.OOO year in cost of lighting and
will benefit by increased passenger traf-
fic.
A longer period of leisure before sun
set is afforded the women and girl
workers.
Tired business men are able to- play
golf an hour longer in the evening.
Eyesight especially win benefit,
daylight being better than artificial
light.
The scheme was introduced by having
every public clock, on churches, town
halls, postoffices, railway stations, etc.,
set forward one midnight to one
o clock.
The change makes the difference be.
tween clock time in London and New
York six hours, instead of five as at
present.

MARSHF|ELD-EUGENE
COUNTRY DESCRIBED
Southern Pacific Tells Of
Country Along Route Of
Oregon's Newest Road

Now that the Cherrians and other
good citizens of Salem hope to attend
the Coos Bay celebration about the
first of August at Marshfield, "The
Bulletin" issued by the Southern Pa
cific News Bureau, describing the coun-
try through which the new road passes
from Eugene to Marshfield, may prove
interesting reading.
From Eugene to Veneta is flat farm
ing country. From Veneta to Mott the
country is flat, gradually rising into the
foot hills. Mott is also the center of a
logging district.
West of Mott the road passes Horse
Shoe Curve and Mott tunnel, 2,4S0 feet
long, at the summit of the Coast range.
After the tunnel comes Chickahominy
creek, Wild Cat creek and near the sta
tion Austa, the Siuslaw, which is follow
ed to tide water.
"The Old Man of Siuslaw," a curious
rock formation is seen at Swiss Home.
Mapleton is next passed, a center for
dairying, fishing and numbering. Cush-
Florence and Glenada.
Leaving Cushman, the line follows an
arm of Siuslaw bay for several miles,
thence through several tunnels until 1t
finally emerges on the shore of Tsilt-
COOS lake. The road winds along the
shores OF this lake for many miles, pass
ing through three stations, Lane, Ada
and Booth.
Gardiner station is on the banks of
the Smith river, short distance above
the confluence of that stream with the
Umpqua. Several beautiful boat trips
may be taken from Gardiner up the
Smith river.
Winchester Bay is at the mouth of
the Umpqua river and reached by boat
from Gardiner. Reedsport, new town,
is located on the railroad, established
since the road has been built. From
creek, then passes through two long
tunnels, coming out in the lake region
between the Umpqua river and Coos
bay.
Lakeside station is close to Ten Mile
lake, summer resort colony. Now
here is one of the wonders of the trip,
the crossing of Coos bay on the mile
long bridge. This bridge is built of
steel, provided with a draw operated
by an 80-hOrsepower gasoline engine
and can be opened and closed in few
minutes.
Crossing the mile long bridge, the
railroad is built into North Bend, a
town of $500. Marshfield with its 1000,
joins North Bend on the south. Here is
located the big Smith mills, one of the
largest sawmills in the world. All lum-
ber from the Smith mills is shipped by
steamer to San Francisco.
Marshfield is city of good appear
ance. with its new buildings and paved
streets. 1t has modern hotels and an
apartment house. 1t is here the great
Coos Bay celebration will be held in
which the Cherrians will take part of
ficially. The exact date has not been
decided on, all depending on the com
pletion of the bridge over the Umpqua
river.

MASKED BANDIT
HOLDS THEM ALL UP
Using Sawed OF Shot Gun
Makes Passengers In Five
Autos Dig Up

Fresno, Cal, July 6.-Armed posses
secured the hills around Miami lodge
and Wawona today for the motorcycle
bandit who held up five motor stages
carrying tourists to Yosemite valley and
took more than $400 from passengers.
Lurking at a sharp corner Of the road,
the robber, masked with black silk
handkerchief, halted each of the five
stages by threatening chauffeurs with
a sawed-off shotgun. When the motors
were lined up, the highwayman ordered
all passengers to form in row under
the trees. Then he passed the hat, say
ing: ~ want money-no jewelry." "
The mails were not molested.
His work completed, the bandit
mounted the motorcycle and tore down
the road at high speed. He was observ-
ed passing through Fresno flats at a
breakneck speed, but no further trace
has been reported.
Among his victims were party from
Los Angeles and j. w. Crump, of Bos-
ton; G. G. Getting, of Chicago, the
Schultz party of Pittsburg, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Simmons. of Philadelphia; Mr..
and Mrs. Anton Kean, of Chicago; Mr..

COMPANY ELECTS B.
S. VIA ITS CAPTAIN
New Organization Nearing
Completion viii Have No
Equipments at Start

Active preparation for eventuaities
is the program for the imemdiate future
decided on by members of the new vol
unteer company which met at the arm
ory last night and chose Benjamin S.
Via, an attorney of this city, as its cap
tain.
Within a short time the lieutenants,
sergeants and corporals will be named
as the result of competitive examina-
tions to be held soon. 1t is thought prob
able that the commissioned officers and
first sergeant will be chosen through ex-
animation and that the sergeants and
corporals will be appointed by the cap
tain.
Captain Via, who is to have charge
of the destinies of the organization, is
particularly qualified for the position
he holds in that he has been a member
of the regular army and has seen actual
service in Cuba and in other places. He
is the moving spirit of the volunteers
and with o. B. Gingrich first conceived
the idea of forming company in this
city to become part of the volunteer
refiment being organized by Judge Gan
tenbein, of Portland.
For time the company will have to
drill without the regulation equipment
but this will be secured later. There
is no dearth of drill officers as num-
ber of those now in che company have
served in the army in the past and are
aDle' to give instruction to the Crook
les" Drill is to be started inmedi-
ately in order that the company may
be among the first to report everybody
ready for service.

MTCH|N OPPOSED TO
INCREASED NAVY BILL
Says If Not Preparedness
Frenzy" Revenue Would
Have Been Ample

Washington, July 6.-After the house
had agreed to vote Monday on the ad-
ministration revenue bill, Majority
Leader Kitchin this afternoon opened
the debate on the measure in speech
remarkable for its frankness. He made
plain, while earnestly advocating the
bill s passage, that his feeling toward
the White House has not grown friend
ly. He also announced his intention to
oppose acquiescence by the house in
the senate's action increasing the naval
bill to 1851 100000.
Terming it a non-partisan measure,
Kitchin said the bill ought to command
the support of all republicans except a
few "extreme old time reactionaries,
such as Hill, Moore, and Fordney and
the men who gravitate toward them. J"
Plainly indicating he is not in harmony
with all its provisions, Kitchin sad:
al can see why some old fashioned
tariff reformers such as myself would
vote against the bill because it con
tains some pretty strong protective
measures.
eff it had not been for the prepared
ness We NOuiu h"'c va

other dollar of taxation,' he said.

tional for preparedness and repubb-
cans and democrats alike are responsi-
ble."
He said if it was necessary to spend
the $l25, 100000 appropriated for the
Mexican situation, this item would be
met by issuance of bonds.
Kitchin, who has viewed the pre-
paredness movement with alarm, said
that this "frenzy" seizing the coun-
try, it was impossible to cut down the
bills of naval and military committees.
$50 far as the naval bill is con
cerned, however, the additions of the
senate, raising the total to s315,000,-
