The Great Cloud of Witnesses
BY LUCY CLEVELAND

BY LUCY CLEVELAND
The grip Of purpose that cut iron
walls
Is good for coils beyond our ken.
In maze ahead. Surpass the I'm
possible!
Capture the foe Of just your
soul.
Bring into camp-your conscience
that one lure
That would have hurled you
from the goal.
Be greater than ye we're! Account
the Past
But pavement for higher shelf
Upon higher upland, whence the
view?
No Glory's cline beyond your
self!
The sparkling Arch that faded
glows again.

Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1919-02-18

Last fall several streets were
plowed and graded on the hillsides,
too late TO give them time to settle
solid before the heavy winter rains.
in consequence some hundred tons OF
dirt were washed down onto the low
er streets that otherwise would have
stayed on the hill sides, Street Com
missioner Fraley protested that the
streets on side hills should not be
disturbed except in the spring, allow
ing them 10 be beaten down by traf-
fic into q solid mass before the heavy
rains. However, the mayor and Chair
man Banta OF the street committee
OF the council insisted that the work
be done in the fall and 1t was done
al the expense to the city Of tre-
ren60us needless wash of soil that
vas lEz week cleared away at great
CO.'S. ScEe time ago we suggested
thai some gray matter should be
coupled with the direction OF street
work. i appears however that the
chairman Of the street committee
either has none at hand or, IL he has,
fails 10 exercise it in the premises.
