gard to the weather Sunday. After
Saturdays freeze the weather turn
ed off balmy and spring like ard
Sunday the people anticipated
that warm weather, such as Chester
had enjoyed up to few days since
was again making it's appearance.
Such was not the case, however, Sun
day night there was some snow and
sleet, and the mercury started tumb-
ling so degrees until this morning
at O'Clock it read on the thermom>
eters seven degrees above, practically
the same as IT. was Saturday morning,
being then five degrees above zero.
The worst trouble reported was in
the Klpttz department store build
ing. The pipes in the Masonic ana
knights of Pythias lodge rooms on
the third floor burst, sending guam
titles of water to the two noors be-
meath. A considerable lot OF mer-
chandise was given a wetting. An
apartment on the second floor was q
veritahle lake of water for a while
until the water could be cut on.
The pipes in the Woodman of the
World and the l. o. o. f. lodge rooms
in the Nails store buildings also
burst sending water beneath in one
of the rooms of the store.
When the mercury descends to 10
degrees above it is considered real
cold weather for Chester and when
the thermometers read II it is con,
sidered intensely cold. With the
thermometSr at 5 and the people
are up against it.
One of the Chester bottling plants
sustained a financial loss in having
bottles filled with soft drinks to
freeze and burst.
Many more plumbers could be
used in Chester for the next month
There is banner crop of burst pipes,
etc, that would keep plumbers busy
night and day for a while. Old oil
stoves have been jerked up and many
people are cooking on them, num-
bers of others are cooking over coal
or wood fireplace fires. Those who
possess stoves not connected with
tanks are fortunate.

FUNSTON SUSPENDS
GUARD MOVEMENT
Order Comes Just as South Carolina
and Tennessee Units Entrain
for Home.

San Antonio, Texas. Feb. s.
Gen. Frederick Funston, in COM
mand of the Southern department of
the army, tonight declined TO com
ment on dispatches stating that the
homeward movement of several
thousand guardsmen recently desig-
mated by the war department to be
relieved of border duty had been
halted.
Unofficial information, however
was that none of the troops will leave
for their home stations before Feb
ruary 90 and that they may be held
on the border even longer.
Units of the South Carolina and
Tennessee troops stationed at F.!
Paso, the Second Virginia infantry at
Brownsville and A and B batteries,
Alabama field artillery, are among
the troops whose departure for home
would be delayed. The Tennessee
and South Carolina guardsmen had
entrained at FL Paso today when or
ders were received halting the
movement.

THEIR HORIZON.

Down in Jackson county there is
sudden and alarming suspicion that
President Wilson is disloyal-- is
to say, disloyal to the paramount
welfare of the Jackson county democ-
racy.
The president abandons his kept
us-out-ofwar slogan and breaks with
Germany; and there is not tremor
among the rock-ribbed Jackson coun.
ty faithful,
He summons the hated money bar
ons OF Wall street to his aid. and
through them gets the assurance
that they will get under the $5,00O,-
100000 bond issue; and Jackson
county stands pat.
The president throws to the winds
any past fears of a large standing
army and plans a great military or
ganization of 100000 to 5000. 900
men through universal conscription;
and the boys of Jackson do not blink
an eve.
But when he forgets the vast desr
erts of the democratic organization
of Jackson county end invites Bert
Anderson to be an appraiser of the
Federal Farm Loan Board. at s2,400
per year, there is trouble, mighty
trouble. For be it known that Bert
Anderson is chairman Of the repub-
lican county committee, and Jackson
county democrats had candidate
of their own in w, N. Campbell,
chairman of their committee
Wars may come and wars may go;
worlds may stogger and chaos may
reign; time may end and eternity
may begin, but the horizon of the
Jackson county democracy continues
to be bounded on the north by a po-
litical job. on the south by another
political job, on the east by the prom
ise Of job, on the west by the hope
Of job.-Oregonian.

mind. The insidious ways OF the
Old World are revolving to our frank
er methods Of procedure. Our secret
service has been merely scheme for
detecting crime.
Over in Europe it is a vast mechan-
ism for securing military informa-
tion, influencing opinion in foreign
countries, stirring up strikes, revolu-
tions and all kinds OF troubles for
peoples regarded as hostile. Our mil
itary position is no doubt understood
quite as well in Berlin as in Wash
ington.
Warfare with Germany means an
unknown and insidious force of in
formation gatherers and plotters
right among us. No one can know
where it is or whom it includes. A
great deal of injustice will be done
on suspicion to many loyal German
Americans who are standing by their
adopted country.
But one can be sure also that some
things that look perfectly innocent
really mean mischief The little
tumble-down shop in some back city
alley where they apparently are
turning out some trifling industrial
by-product, may be the place where
deadly bombs are being made for
some wholesale destruction.
A great many ridiculous errors
will be made Engineers measuring
a lot, telephone and wire gangs locat-
ing services, will be regarded by
as spies. The police will
come running breathless to question
them. But people who seem to be
taking observations and who are
in places where their bust
ness is not apparent, and where they
might do damage, will have to be

sort to the measures long ago en-
forced abroad for the registration of

lresses and business No unoffend-
ng man will be hurt by such regis
ration, and valuable information

Commission Is Firm
With Paving Cos.

Paving promoters who have come
in contact with the state highway
commission have received little COM
fort. The commission insists that
high prices for paving, boosted up to
reimburse paving companies for pro-
motion expenses, will not be toler-
ated The state should not be re-
quired to pay promotion costs, the
commissioners say, and they state
further that if paving bidders do not
whittle their prices down to where
these fancy promotion charges are
eliminated, the state will buy its own
machinery and build its own roads
direct by day labor
A reduction of 25 cents barrel
on the market price of cement when
used for road work was rendered by
the Oregon Portland Cement Com
pany to the state commission at its
meeting just held, and the cement
people were commended for the spirit
they showed. However, the commits
sion insisted that to be thoroughly
fair, the cement company SHOULD in
clude cement for bridge work in the
25 cents barrel reduction, The
company has the commissions de-
mand under consideration, with every
prospect Of favorable concession.
The word also has gone out that
no patented pavement will be used
by the commission unless the promo
tion and royalty charges are squeezed
right down to a reasonable profit on
the actual work to he done. The COM
mission flatly states that all standard
types OF paving must be considered
in open competition with each other,
and that If none of the bids is low
enough, "the commission will pro-
ceed to do the work itself by force
account after the purchase and in
stallation of its own paving plant
The quotation is from the formal ex-
pres'son of the commission.
All who como in contact with the
commission are discovering that it
means business, that it is composed
of men who cannot be stampeded,
end that promoters who try to put
something over on the state receive
short shrift. Tho bearing of the COM
mission is one of firm determination
that full dollars worth of actual
construction work must be done for
every dollar expended by the state,
and that mono of the states money
may be used to pay for anything ex-
cept full value receiyed for actual
work done. ,.

Some time during the coming

every voter should carefully read and

ments so as to fully perform his duty
as a voter in an intelligent manner.
Too often these pamphlets are
thrown into the wastebasket unread.
There is no reason for lack of in
formation on any OF the measures.
Read the pamphlet and consider it.
