Mayor Scobee Monday night pro-
posed that the city, as a means of
stimulating spring cleaning, should
compel the razing of an old lumber
shed on Railroad street and the shell
of garage, destroyed by fire a year

Morgan. who stated that residents had
complied with recent recommendations
made by deputy state fire marshals
who had made an exhaustive survey
here. Mr.. Morgan declared the old,
dilapidated buildings ought to be torn
down.
The council has instructed the judici-
ary committee to determine bounds of
a residence section along the bluffs at
the east side Of the city along Hood
river gorge and prepare formal pro-
ceedings for establishing a new sewer
district. The district includes large
number Of shacks occupied in the fall
and winter season by cannery workers.
The congestion Of workers and lack of
sewer facilities, il is declared, resulted
in deplorsble condition the past win
ter.
Because Of the steep grade Of the
residence section, il is declared that q
sewer system may be installed at
minimum expense.

BRADLEY'S NEW OVEN
ATTRACTS ATTENTION

The new Bender electric oven, just
installed at the Bradley bakeshop in
the Bartmess building, has attracted a
great deal of attention the past week.
The oven, of the rotary type, was
manufactured in Portland. 1t is de-
clared one of the most up to date
ovens on the market. The oven will
bake 100 "a ounce or $50 l6 ounce
loaves at one time. 1t requires about
80 minutes for one baking. Emil Mat
tison is here getting the oven properly
regulated. He made the installation.
MIR. Bradley has also installed a
Reed bread mixer and Reed cake ma
chine. His shop has the most modern
and sanitary equipment available. In
addition to bread he will make cakes
of all kinds and various pastries.
Mr.. Bradley extends general invi-
tation to the public to see his new
electrical apparatus in operation.

WHEN TRUTH HURTS.
Newspapers Don't Take Pleasure In
Printing the Court Records.

newspapers Don't AXE Pleasure In
Printing the Court Records.
Court news is rarely pleasant; it is
almost always unpleasant for some
one. The staring lines that tell of a
relatives disgrace are painful. 1t gives
a newspaper no pleasure to add to the
suffering of the innocent or increase
the modification of the guilty but
the public has right to know what
its courts are doing, and as matter
of news, the records of the courts, from
recorders court to supreme court, are
published.
Scarcely a week passes that some
one does not request, beseech, cajole
and plead with the Index-Journal to
leave his name or the name of some
friend or relatives out of the report of
court proceedings. 1t is never pleas
ant to cause pain, and the lndex-Jour-
nal regrets that the truth hurts, but
such requests cannot be granted. In
fairness and justice to all, names can
not be deleted to shield anyone. It
would not be just to publish one mans
name and leave anothers out. High
or low, the names in the records of
the courts are treated impersonally.
1t is matter of news that the public
wants and has a right to know. The
lndex-Journal makes an honest effort
to be inst and fair to all
The newspaper that bears grudge
and has an axe out" to avenge per-
sonal grievances is failure as a news
paper. A newspaper should present
the facts, as accurately as it can, with
out bias or favoritism. When it fails
to do this, it fails to live up to the
ethics of the profession, for newspa-
pers have a code of ethics, whether
the public recognizes it or not. If the
devil himself were to come to town
with Gathering hoofs and brandished
pitchork, newspaper would owe II
to its code of ethics to be fair in its
report of the event-whether it liked
the devil or not.
Every decent newspaper stands for
order, law, sobriety and decency in the
community. 1t may condemn with Wig
or in editorials, practices and policies,
but when it comes to giving an ac-
count of the news, the facts are pre-
sentea, whether they condemn or con-
done, and these facts, cold and unas-
sailable, speak for themselves.-The
Greenwood Index-Journal.

close track as possible of the various
manoeuvres that are being made in
connection with the case and the
father and his friends are leaving no
stones unturned to see to it that their
interests will lie we'll represented when
the case does come to trial.
1t is learned here that FAIRIES will
under no circumstances be returned to
the York county Jail before the

might be and probably is a fact that
the accused prisoner would be as safe
in the Jail as in the penitentiary, the
authorities are quoted as saying that
they do not propose to take any
chances in the matter and that FAIRIES
will remain right where he is until he
is brought to trial at the county seat
or other such courthouse as he might
be tried in
