At the meeting of citizens at the
courthouse Wednesday evening, it
was noticeable that Mr.. Clarence
Camp favored Mr.. Burford's PROPOSE
ton to repair and improve the city
plant. He said that since the city al
ready had so much money tied up in
the plant that it was much the better
policy to go ahead and make the best
plant possible. When vote was taken
on the proposition, he voted with the
majority in the affirmative.

being made to obtain a pardon for
Mendenhall, who murdered Miss Susie
Elliot and her mother on a lonely
road near Clearwater about four
years ago, and afterward tried to
burn their bodies. The press of the

subject. How can any decent man,

pooRHousE RECONSTRUCTION

At the warrensville, Ohio, infirm-
airy, where Cleveland's INDECENT and
disabled are quartered. reconstruc-
ton work along war lines has been
taken up with great success.
In the little workshop, side by
side, sit old men who are learning
toymaking and MANNED youths, pre-
viously considered helpless, but now
fitted out with artificial arms and
hands, who are learning light work
of different types. All happy be-
cause they are busy and useful.
'If we had only known" says one
poor old drifter, that the busy life
is the only happy life, how much
better it would have been for our
selves and others!" But after all
they have learned 1t, and not toe
late. And in place Of morbid intro
spection bred in endless tedium they
have this new philosophy Of life and
labor.
Our public infirmaries and poor
houses for generations have been the
burrows OF derelicts OF all sorts who
from the time they enter until death
takes them, remain dependent, idle
unhappy, costly. To change all this
to make such as these self-support
ing, self-respecting and helpful, is
big thing. It's economic value is the
least part Of 1t.

HAMPSHIRE PLEASES
DOUGLAS OFFICIALS

'Prettiest piece of road ever
cooked an eye on. II rivals the Co
lumbia highway" is County Judge
r. w. Marsters' expressed opinion of
the new Pacific highway route un-
der government construction through
Canyon creek canyon, a distance OF
approximately IL miles. says the
Roseburg Review. According to Mr..
Marsters about mile and half of
the grading has been fully complet-
ed and the eight gangs OF men at
work in different sections of the strip
have many other portions nearly
ready. The county court and Forest
Supervisor s. c. Bartrum we're amaz-
ed at the rapidity with which the
contractors are moving the dirt.
''Never saw dirt moved so fast" said
Mr.. Masters this morning in all
seriousness. '"They are hauling the
dirt 100 yards and every seven min
utes a load containing TWO yards OF
dirt and rock goes out"
This improvement work Is being
rapidly pushed to completion by Con-
tractor John Hampshire, Of Grants
Pass. Under the direct supervision
of government engineer, 1t is prac-
tically all done with modern ma
chinery.
Two small bridges had been fin
ished and preparations are in pro-
gress for the erection OF a large con-
crete bridge we'll up the canyon. II
is estimated that the grading for the
full strip will be completed by July

UNIoNIzING THE MIDDLE CLASS

CNIONIZING The MlDDIE CbaSo
A throb of sympathy stirs the sal
aried people of this country at the
news that the English middle class
has unionized in seh-defense. Sal
aried people everywhere are tired of
working at a dead level while labor,
capital and prices all pass them. each
waving its banner with the strange
device, Excelsior"
Still, they really have only them
selves to blame. Their condition
arises from their failure to use for
their own benefit and that of others
a great power which they already
possess-the power of clear, un-
biased thought. For who are the
middle classes-these salaried peo-
pie? They are the thinkers Of the
world. The clerks, the doctors, the
lawyers, the teachers. the preachers,
the great mass Of educated people.
They have been reared to read, to
think, trained in faithfulness to
duty and ideals. Having neither the
selfish fears of capital nor the long
bitterness of labor, they should be
free from the prejudices and pas,
slons Of eitherE And there are mil
lions of them.
This great body trained to thought
and speech is better equipped thar
any other to mold public opinion ant
direct public affairs, and always hat
been. But it has been asleep. II
its sudden awakening to power II
danger not only for itself, but fol
all society. For this cool. clear-think
ing middle class is the central bal
ance which upholds the see-saw o
the world. 1t must hold the worlt
steady IL it is to be held at all.
II instead OF subverting thei
power to selfish personal ends, thes'
middle-class folk win use it as it can
be used, to force a proper adjust
ment of the affairs of all classes, al
will be we'll.

''No man can safely predict the i'm

ton. But have no doubt that after
readjustment, construction work
abroad as well as in the United
States will place copper on a firm
basis.
"At present 1t is like going

know there will be spring and this
should be followed by growing

COAL FOUND IN SWEDEN

London, Apr. 10.-Deposits OF coal
in Sweden, discovery OF which was
reported recently from Stockholm,
may help to solve one Of Sweden's
most difficult Industrial problems.
Sweden has an almost inexhaust-
able supply of very fine iron ore
and Swedish scientists for years
have unsuccessfully attempted to
devise means of working it by cleo
tricity. With coal supply at home
it is pointed out that Sweden has an
opportunity to become one Of the
great Industrial countries OF the

SEE GODS HAND IN RESCUE

drifted for 70 days. After 10 days the
supply OF food was gone. The natives
managed to catch shark with hook
and line. This lasted them five days.
The rest Of the time they had no food.
An occasional shower prevented death
from thirst.
Then the miracle" happened. The
mountains Of Tahiti rose slowly over
the horizon. The shifting sea current
brought them nearer and nearer until
they were finally sighted from snore
and powerboat sent to tow them In.
They were too weak to rise to their
feet, but, after few days ashore all
appeared to be rapidly recovering from
their experience.

LITTLE PROGRESS IN
STUDY OF INFLUENZA

Studies of the "Spanish Influenza"
made recently by the United States
public health service, are discourage
ing. It does not appear that any prog
ress has been made towards the dis
covery of the microbe or bacillus which
is supposed to cause the disease. As
in the case of cancer, the microscope
shows nothing. The germ is now
thought to be too small for even the
microscope to reveal.
1t is known, however, that the dis
is most commonly caught by
close contact with those who cough,
or spit. These things should
be done in paper napkins which should
be Immediately burned. This is the
most practicable means of checking
the spread Of the disease. If gen
done it would save thousands
of lives.-Current Events.

War Has Given Women Chance

After many years spent in demand

This state of things Is usually present

not 4 few women are quite frankly

however, is required to reach the con.
ciuston that In many cases there will
be tendency and disposition to broad

after the end of the war, and, if de-
sired BY the employers. to accept them
as permanent factors in places here
tofore held exclusively by men.
The nnal outcome with reference to
the industrial status Of women will,

showing traits which not only disquali-

the most serious probably are the lack
OF professional pride in work, the fail
