TOWN WILL PROSECUTE
Violations of Village Ordin-..
ances Will be Looked
After for Protection of
People.

The town board OF Eagle River
some time ago passed ordinances
for the protection of its people.
but evidently some peoples
memories become cobwebbed
and the result is that some ac-
cident happens to innocent par
ties.
In another column will be
found a warning TO bicycle riders
who insist on using the concrete
walks instead of the highway
where they belong; another to
the fellow with a team of horses
who leaves them united upon
the principal streets, or else who
drives them into some side street
and trusts TO luck that they will
not run away. And still another
is the auto driver who disre-
CARDS the rules of the road, i'm
agining that his is the only car
being driven, cuts corners, turns
where we wants to, and speeds
at any place and any time.
Pedestrians, and especially
children have had very narrow
escapes from injury or death at
the hands of the three above
quoted. Just the other morning
two cars nearly wrecked them
selves upon Morgan's corner by
not using the rules OF the road
and keeping to their side of the
street when turning a corner.
1t will be a pleasure to the
News to chronicle the arrest and
conviction of any person who
deliberately violates and jeopar-
dies the life OF a child or adult.
Mistakes can be excused but not
an intentional aim to prom
injury or possibly death

SPRING BEAR STORIES
Several Parties Have Seen
Mother Rruin and Her
Progeny Early This Sea-
son.

Generally when a bear story is
sprung, some fellow smiles and
winks one eve at the authenticity
thereto. But when it is really a
fact, he has a hard time securing
the confidence of his audience.
BE it as it may, here are a
couple that will bear out the
assertion that "the Big Woods
is some place" A few weeks
ago we read of children down
around Amigo way trying to
teed a bear that had wandered
into the dooryard of some set
tier. This was laughed at but
twas a fact nevertheless.
A week ago up in the Cisco
lake region a bear and two cubs
tied up navigation for the helper
who runs the launch for Camp
Tenderloot, operated BY Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. E. Lundberg
The helper had taken a party
from Tenderfoot lake to Palmer
lake where they portrayed across
to Big lake on the way to Cisco
station. The helper when he re-
turned to his launch on Palmer
lake, found that he had three
passengers-an old mother bear
and her two cubs. Couldn't per-
suade them to vacate. and he
beat it for camp and a gun. of
course they were gone when he
returned. But he had evidence
of their having been in the launch
by its mussed up condition.
lust last week near the spot
known as the Iron springs" on
the main Eagle River-Woodruff
highway, Peter Morrison and
Louis Cook ran afoul an old
mother bear and cubs. They en-
deavored to capture a cub, but
possibly the danger was too
great and the opportunity was
abandoned.

THE RESERVE BOARDS POLICY

The unorganized consumer was
the man hardest hit as prices
went up, and while he hollered
to the best of his ability, lack of
organization rendered him less
stridently vocal than he might
have been. But as defation is
brought about and prices begin
to drop, the first people hit will
be certainly more or less highly
organized groups, capable of put
ting up a roar fit to deafen the
nation.
The recollection of this fact
serves to weaken somewhat the
impression that would otherwise
be produced by the assaults on
the Federal Reserve board by
such organizations as the south
western division Of the National
Association of hosiery and un-
derwear manufacturers. The
average man is willing to admit
that the underwear and hosiery
manufacturers may be in more
or less unenviable situation, but
on the other hand he cannot for
get that the consumer has been
in an unenviable position for a
long time and that the slssocia-
ton has much better facilities
for making itself heard than the
consumer had.
It cannot be demonstrated be-
yond all shadow of doubt that
the reserve boards policy is
either right or wrong. simply be-
cause 1t Is unprecedented. The
board Il trying to accomplish
something that we all admit IL
desirable. butwhichneverha has been
accomplished BY 4 government

duce imitation and accompanying
high prices gradually by exert
ing slight, but steady, pressure
on the banks. But nobody ever
did that in this country before,
so how can anybody be absolute
ly sure that the board is doingit
in the right way or in the wrong?
This much is certain-what
er method was adopted, some
body was bound to be pinched.
The problem before the board
was not to reduce imitation with
out cramping anybody, because
that was out Of the question, but
to hurt the smallest number pos
sible. The sugar hoarders have
already been badly squeezed,
and the wool hoarders are get
ting the same dose now. Nobody
has any sympathy for either, be-
cause it was clearly recognized
that the policy Of both was
against the best interest Of the
country. But unfortunately it is
almost certain that in the process
of shaking loose the spectators
and the hoarders some legitimate
business interests will suffer to a
certain degree. This, perhaps,
is what has happened to the
knitting business. It does not
however, necessarily follow that
the policy Of the Federal Reserve
board, viewed in the large, is
wrong.
1t is all too easy to forget that
sooner or later the pressure was
bound to have been applied. The
only question was as to whether
it would be applied gradually. or
suddenly. We have seen what
the sudden application of the
brakes will do for a country's
business in the case Of Japan,
which is almost PROSTATE COM
mercially. The Federal Reserve
board could have reduced infa-
ton with the stroke of the pen.
All that would have been necces-
sary would have been to raise
the discount rate to a prohibitive
figure and the thing would have
been accomplished. The only
trouble is that that same stroke
of the pen would have signed
the death warrant of half the
legitimate business enterprises in
the country. 1t would have pro-
duced a terrible panic almost in
stantly. |
The reserve board. in applying
the pressure where it seems that
it will do least harm to legitimate
business is engaged in an opera
ton of the utmost delicacy. 1t is
inevitable that some mistakes
will be made. 1t is possible that
so many, and such grave, mis-.
takes will be made as to invali-
date the whole process; but we
are not able to see any convinc-
ing evidence as yet that the
board has gone utterly wrong.
We are rather inclined to believe
that its success so far has been
remarkable. Six months ago we
were heading toward a castas-
trophe. Everyone with the most
superficial acquaintance with f.
nance recognized the danger. 1t
is by no means elimated yet, and
unless there is careful stepping
for a long time to come it may
overtake us, after all. But we
do believe that the tendency at
this moment is less alarming
than it was six months ago, and
we believe that that fact is due
10 the wise and careful policy of
the Federal Reserve board. -

AUTO DRIVING HELD

AN OLD GIRL

Here is the latest prescription
for physical exercise:
Take one automobile-fIll it
with gas and take a long. fast

That motoring is one of the
finest forms OF exercise for the
average man and woman of today
is a somewhat startling hypOthe-
sis, say Portland dealers. Most
persons do not consider the driy-
inf of motor car in the light of
exercise at all. But now the the
ory of the automobile as health
full form of exercise is being ad-
vahced by physicians every
where.
1t is the muscles of the arms,
together with those of the chest
and abdomen, that pre-eminently
and habitually suffer. Here is
found underdeyelopment and
flabbiness. And it is precisely
here that the steering wheel of
the automobile may come to the
rescue.
The handling of the steering
wheel and the operation of the
gear shifts and brake levers give
o mild but persistent action which
involves practically all the mus
cles OF the arms, chest and abdo-

HIGHWAY PAVING
PROGRESSES WELL

Reports from the Schell-Calvert
contract on the Pacific highway
between Gold Hill and Savage
Rapids state that the laying of the
"hOt stuff is progressing very
satisfactorily, says the Grants Pass
Courier. The pavement is COM
rleted now from the bridge at
Rogue River to point about n
quarter Of a mile this side. 1t is
estimated that it will take about
60 days to prepare the entire strip
for traffic. as the specifications
this year call for a heavier macad-
AM foundation than was used last
year and nearly an inch and a
half more surface paving on top.
