A WISE DECISION.

Secretary Baker acted wisely in restrict
ing club houses at environments and army
camps to the two organizations best quail
fed to supply the recreational needs of the
men.
Regardless of other considerations, space
limitations would not permit of the erection
of a large number of recreation buildings
inside the camps. Discrimination was not
to be considered, and had the secretary
yielded to the entreaties of any of the or
CARNATIONS which wished to minister ex-
clusively to their own members, misunder-
standings and confusion would have re-
suited and the good to be derived from
properly directed work would have been
lost.
1t would no doubt, have been more sat-
isfactory to have limited the recreational
work to one central body, directed by a non
Se>tarian board
Refusal of permission to erect buildings
within the camps does not mean that the
various fraternities and orders have no
Heid for helpful service among those of
their members who are stationed at the
camps. AS Mr.. Baker has pointed out
there is splendid opportunity for minis
teE1ng to the recreationa1 and social needs
OF the men in whom they have special in
terest by cooperation with the central
committees of the cities rIar which can
tonments have been established
Legal fraternal organizations are making
special effort to add to the comfort and en-
joyment of fellow members stationed here.
The churches. also, are doing a valuable
work in this direction, and Individual citi-
zens, too, are doing much to cause the men
of the service to pleasantly remember their
stay in Pensacola.

have something much more sweet and
wonderful to hold"

AN EQUITABLE PLAN.

There is logic in the suggestion that ex-
pend1tureS for the improvement of rivers
and harbors be borne oy the waterways re-
ceiving the benefits and the improvements
that made them self-supporting. If this
plan is adopted, the faint of pork" and
graft" will be effectually removed from
rivers and harbors appropriations and the
millions formerly spent on that work will
be available for meeting the cost of the
war. =
Advocates of the plan argue that if
transportation on inland waterways is
really cheaper than transportation on rail-
roads, thdn traffic on inland waterways can
afford to pay for improvements on the
watcr7roadbed, just as traffic on the rail-
roads has to pay rates which include inn
ijrovements on the rail carrier. They saw
iurt1cr, as cOastwise transportation is in
nltCiy cheaper than railroad transporta-
ton, 1t certainly can afford to paw rates

ro; d rates cover. II water transportation

THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME.


For several days Helen had cher
ished wonderful secret. 1t seemed
too previous, too intimate, too wholly
her own to share even with Warren.
For q while at least she wanted it all
herself.
1T was as though she was living in
dreanl-a dream so beautiful that
she almost feared the putting of it
into words might mean a rude awak-
ening.
Her eyes shone with new light,
rapt usefulness that even Anna saw
and wondered at. One evening War

out of the window. When she turned
to greet him he was almost startled

MAN KILLED
 IN K0YUKUK,
 SAYS REPORT

A wire received here yesterday af- ternoon notified Tom Foster of the death of Dick Jones, a former well known Fairbanksan, in the koyukuk country. The wire said nothing re garding the manner of the death, merely stating that Jones had been killed. It is thought that the death must have taken place some time ago. as it takes some time for in formation to get out of the koyukuk country. MT Foster is asked in the wire to attempt to locate the rela, tives of Jones. He says that he knows none of them, but believes that they live in Portland.
 Jones worked for MT Foster in the latters blacksmith shop here for number of years, and was there fore well known It was about three years ago that he decided to go to the Koyukuk country and engage in mining, since which time MT Foster has heard nothing of him until now.

CITY AUDITOR MAKES REPORT
 ON HIS WORK

City Auditor w. D. Nealey made his official report on the condition of the city at the meeting of the city council last night The report covers fourteen typewriter sheets and is therefore very lengthy, being complete in the minutest detail
 The report includes a general com parison of the financial condition of the city and the schools during the years 1915 and 1916 It shows that during the fiscal year of 1916 prac- tically every branch of the city af- fairs spent more money than during the previous fiscal year. It also shows that receipts were somewhat larger, but not nearly enough to overcome the deficit The receipts were $63,S5443 in 1915, as against $64,232.94 in 1916
 In summing up the report the au- ditor says, in part:
 The auditor finds the books and records of the city in excellent con dition. The work is well done with but very few clerical errors, and the system is, with the exceptions noted below, modern and complete.
 The records or the school board, while they bespeak careful effort on the part of the clerk, are not in sat isfactory condition owing to the lack of system in handling the work.
 The table of disbursements, as contained in the report, is as fol lows:

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 29.- No official report regarding the land ing of his troops in France has yet been received at the war department from General John J. Pershing. Less anxiety regarding the matter is be- ing felt, however for the reason that it is now supposed that General Pershing is waiting until all of his force is on French soil before re- porting, and it is well known fact that large numbers of men and quan- titles of supplies yet remain to be disembarked.
