Where Life is One Long
Vacation.

Seekers of soft snaps" are turn
ing their wistful optics on Mesopo-
potamia, which seems to have main
tanned Utopian conditions in spite
of Turkish oppression. Prince Ra-
phael Emmanuel, son of Chaldean
high priest, who has been lecturing
in this country, is largely RESPONSE
BILE for their wistful attitude. Ac-
cording to the princes fascinating
account of his native land, the soil
is so rich that it is only necessary
to work four months in the year.
Then there are the additional lures
of beautiful climate and comforta-
BILE habits and customs which add
a potent charm to inherent laziness.
The Kansas City Star reports him
as saying:
There is no money in Messopo-
tamia. There is need for none. We
pay no taxes. neither do we pay
tribute. Wheat, fruit and skins are
the only medium of exchange. We
have no policemen, no courts, no
judges: The people do not know
there is a war. They would not I'M
derstand the meaning of fighting for
liberty, as they have always been
free.
There is no record of time in
Messopotamia. We never know
what day of the week it is and do
not care. Clocks or watches are
unknown; my people would not
know what to do with them. Time
is told by the height of the sun and
servants arise by the cocks crow as
they did in the days of Jesus.
We raise the finest tobacco in
Messapotamia, but do not chew, nor
smoke cigars. The men Smoke Gig
arettes or pipes. Our women do
not smoke. There are no saloons
in Mesapotamia. My people make
wine, but it is not the fermented
kind that you have here. 1t is only
used on occasions, however, and
then it is not considered proper for
women to drink it.
The language is the same which
Jesus used in speaking to his peo-
pie nearly two thousand years ago.
and my people believe in God and
worship Him in their every act. You
used to send students to Germany
to become theologians and then
send them to Mesopotamia as mis-
sionaries. 1t would have been more
fitting to have sent them to Mesa
potamia first and thence to Germa-
ny as religious teachers"
The prince said his people never
eat pork, concludes the Star, and
whenever he is asked he replies ::
Because Jesus cast the devils into
the swine and they all went to Ger
many"

NO STATUTES TO BACK
DRY CONSTITUTION

Columbus, Ohio, May 10.-Just
what is going to happen to the liquor
traffic in Ohio after May 81 when
the prohibition amendment to the
state constitution, adopted last au.
tumn, becomes effective, is problem
that is bothering state and local Off
cials,
The state faces the situation of
having dry constitution but no
statutes to enforce 1t. The general
assembly enacted enforcement meas
ures but they must run the gauntlet
of referendum next November be-
fore they can become operative and
should the voters disapprove of them
there will be no particular authority
by which to enforce prohibition, 1t is
said. Anti-saloon league officials
say they have not given up hope OF
obtaining some legislation that will
be effective May %.
MOST OF the saloon Keepers are
planning to quit business May 27
and they may have to retire even be
fore that date. The license year oil
saloonkeepers expires May "a, None
has applied for renewal OF license
and the time for making application
has passed.
The Ohio home rule association
the "wet" organization, is planning
its campaign to defeat the enforce
ment bills next November. It hai
also started referendum on tn,
resolution ratifying the nationa
prohibition amendment, but this Il
being resisted in the courts by tn,
anti-saloon league.

women of this type she will be trans
ferred to the state hospital for fee

the present she win remain in Gus

Smiling, Miss Garrison received
the verdict, then with laugh she

YANKS DIG VALUABLES
FROM THE OLDIRU|NS

Paris. May 10.-American troops
who have been working in the shell
torn areas of France have been re-
covering many valuables of various
sorts buried in the ruins. All these
finds are. turned over to the French
ministry of finance which is en-
deavoring to discover the original
owners or their heirs. All unclaim-
ed treasures go to the state.
Members OF the American Second
army corps recently unearthed at
Avoucourt large number of French
and Russian railway bonds which
had lain in the cellar of demolish-
ed home since the Germans first in
vaded the sector. The bonds we're
all in good condition and bore cou-
pons which had not been clipped
since July, 1914. Whether the own
er is dead or alive will be determin-
ed by the ministry of finance,
Among the valuables recovered
are many belonging to ruined
churches. Not infrequently when
several churches in a town have
been destroyed and each of them has
lot similar treasures 1t is impossible
to say who is the owner of the wealth
recovered. In this case 1t is divided
among them.

GERMANS STIRRED UP
TROUBLE IN SPAIN

Barcelona, Spain, May 10.-Ger-
man propaganda and the spread Of
bolshevik ideas among the working
men are, in part, blamed for the gen.
eral strike which took place here
last week. 1t is generally believed
that the Germans have all along
been working to create trouble
among the Spanish laboring men.
Their Vaccinations during the war
were exposed by the Madrid daily FL
Sol which showed how the German
embassy was implicated in provoking
labor troubles both In Barcelona and
Madrid. 1t was reported two weeks
ago that wireless message had
been intercepted asking that further
funds be sent here for propaganda
work.

Washington, May 1O--Coloner Ar

possible TO protect themselves
against coming tremendous labor
shortage.

Woods, has taken approximately
500, 900 workers from other fields SO

In addition TO that. he said, Amer

OVER 5000 FEET FINISHED AND
is PRONOUNCED PERFECT
PIECE OF WORK
INSPECTOR DREW IS PLEASED
Busy Scenes at Rock Crushing Plant
Where Asphalt Is Prepared.
Fifty Men ON the Job

Work of paving the Pacific high
way from the Sixth street bridge at
the edge of this city to the Jackson
county line is progressing nicely and
much more satisfactorily than the
contractor, s. s. Schell. anticipated.
He now has a crew of 40 or so men
employed.
Over 5000 feet of asphalt paving
has been finished and Special In
spector N. ]. Drew, of Portland, who
arrived here yesterday, pronounces
it the finest piece OF paving he has
seen in the state, and 1t is under
stood that he has been in the paw
ing business for over 20 years.
What appears to be the busiest
place-and at least is the noisest
place-is at the gravel pit wnere
the powerful machinery is preparing
the asphalt mixture for pavement.
Mr.. Schell has the best proposition
of this kind in the state. Gravel
is taken from the Rogue river with
a scraper holding one and one-half
cubic yards OF gravel and attached
to a cable, a donkey engine furnish
ing the power. This process is re-
peated every three or four minutes
and the. gravel is then taken in small
cars up the track to the crusher.
Here the sand is removed, the large
and fine gravel separated, and four
sizes of crushed rock are produced.
An oil burner is used to heat the
complete mixture and it is then run
into waiting trucks that are lined
with asbestos and steel; this because
the mixture is thus delivered at a
temperature of about $40 degrees.
ut must be very hot and even retains
heat for several hours after being
laid as paving.
Mr.. Schell stated to a Courier re-
porter today that he does not expect
to finish this first stretch of paving
before September, but is already
making arrangements to start work
on the last contract awarded him,
which is for a distance of about IL
miles, extending as far south as
Gold Hill. The two contracts give
Mr.. Schell about 10 miles of Pacific
highway to build, the price running
something over 100000.
Work of preparing the asphalt
mixture and that of laying the paw
ing is quite interesting and worth
anyone's time to go and witness.
Those who have seen this newly-laid
paving are of the opinion that few
pieces of road work in the state will
compare favorably with it when fin
ished.
