Ever since the Introduction of submarines Into the navy there has been felt a great need for some really reliable means of detect ing the presence of explosive gases In the air, and at last some suitable apparatus seems to be forthcoming.

In opposing the project for a road north and south across Oregon, members of the council went on record as being In favor of good roads, but believed better results could be obtained by build ing lateral roads from the cities Into- the fanning communities rather than by paralleling the Southern Pacific with an automobile thoroughfare. The council voted to favor a law pro viding a system whereby rosd districts could levy a spe'clal tax in the same man ner that school district taxes are levied, but providing that a district could not levy more than 2 mills. Action looking toward the holding of a county fair next Fall was Inaugurated by the council. The lecturer of each sub ordinate grange throughout the county was appointed to agitate the matter and arouse public interest in the project. The council also passed a resolution yester day indorsing the resolution passed at the recent session of the Linn County Horticultural Society asking the County Court to appoint as County Fruit In spector a man who will pledge himself to enforce the fruit laws of the state rigidly. The council held Its annual election yes terday, choosing the following officers for 190: Presidtnt, G. D. Harris, of Leba non; vice-president, M. F. Wood, of Tan gent; lecturer. C. L. Shaw, of Albany: chaplain, Cyrus H. Walker, of Albany; treasurer, J. II. Scott, of Tangent; sec retary. L. Edward Dyer, of Albany; gate keeper, D. H. Bodine. of Albany; busi ness agent, H. C.

State Superintendent BelleTes Rural Schools Xeed Strengthening. Objects to Smith Scheme). SALEM, Or., Jan. 8. (Special.) Be lieving that the rural schools axe most urgently In need of attention and strengthening at the present time, Su perintendent of Public Instruction J. H. Ackerman has declined to aid in pro moting legislation having for Its pur pose establishment of a system of inspec tion and uniform examinations In High Schools. This change in. High School management was proposed by Professor Winfield Scott Smith, principal of the Brownsville schools. In a communica tion published In The Oregonlan last Saturday. Professor Smith also set forth his Ideas In a letter to Superin tendent Ackerman, a,nd urged his co operation in the movement. When asked for a statement of his views regarding Professor Smith's plan, as set forth in his communication to The Oregonlan, Superintendent Acker man said that his position Is set forth In his reply to Professor Smith, which he gave as his Ideas upon the subject. He also remarked that If there are to be uniform examinations, provisions must be made for a board to prepare the questions, examine and grade the papers, Issue pass cards, grant diplo mas, etc., all of which work would re quire the services of competent per sons, who must be paid In accordance with their ability. Since Professor Smith's plan contemplates that . state authorities shall examine students In all grades above the seventh, the work would be extensive. There are two movements now on foot for the creation of the office of High School Inspector. On plan Is that the High School Inspector snail be appointed by the State University and shall bring the High Schools of the state to such a standard of work as shall harmonize with the work of the University. The other plan Is that the inspector shall be appointed by the State Board of Educa tion and shall bring the High Schools to such a Stan dr ad as the Board may deem best for the students, without regard to the question whether they will ever be come students at the University or not. One plan views the High School as a preparatory institution for the Univer sity; the other views It as an Independent educational Institution whose course and work should be made to fit the needs of students who will never go beyond It. The latter plan Is based upon the theory that the University should take the stu dents where the High School leaves them, regardle&s of whether the course of study harmonizes with what the Uni versity management thinks best or not.

The young men left here Saturday morn ing with provisions for a number of days' duck shooting on the lower har bor and have not been heard from since. An Indian found their canoe adrift with two duck guns and some provisions, but the boys, with guns and two revolvers, are wholly missing. It Is feared they were overtaken by a rapid tide while on some sand spit or island and cut off from their canoe, the rising water en gulfing and drowning them. The three lads are sons of O. P. Bur rows, a widely-known timber broker and ex-Government engineer; Captain San born, of the seagoing tug Printer, and of Mrs. Cogdill, a widow.

A PRESCRIPTION TALK. There la a custom among many retail druggists, which has been, in eoclstenca for years, of fumtehlng prescription blanks to physlcliins bearing the name of some particular druggist and his ad dress, with the object and hope that when the prescription is written the pa tient or party to whom It Is handed will by reason of the printed card of the druggist, seek, out that particular store . and have it filled, all of which sounds like a bit of cheap and desirable adver tising to which the physician furnishes his name and the druggist the trivial amount required for the prescription blank. All of this, however, takes no note of the disposition on the part of most people to buy their drugs and have their prescriptions filled where they please, and many more who resent any Implied attempt on the part of their physician or anyone els to direct them to any one store. They have a well-grounded dial lie for any coercion, open or Implied, and per haps back of It there Is a little suspicion that the druggist who is advertised by the legend which says. "Take this to John Smith. Druggist," or whoever it may be. Is perhaps receiving some little concession or consideration, and eo the patient straightway goes to some other store of his own liking. Wa have always regarded this form ot advertising or business-getting as not only Questionable, but really undesirable In every way. It Injures the physician with the patient and It Injures the drug gist with the public We furnish many thousand prescription blanks to physi cians, and are glad to do so. It Is a courtesy which costs but little, but with out our card. It has always seemed to us that there were other and better ways to secure the patronage of that great host of people who are seeking relief for. their bodily ills. Our store, the character of Its service, the quality of its drugs, tie ressonable nees of its prices; these, and a thousand other good reasons, coupled with consistent.- liberal, enterprising newspaper advertising, has accomplished more by far than the Indirect and uncertain method outlined above. That our view is a correct one we believe Is evidenced by the fact that we fill more prescrip tions than any retail drugstore on the Paciflo Coast, and as many as the largest drugstores in Chicagb. Boston or New York. WOODARD1, CLARKE! & CO. Established 1P66. Johnson, Newport; George Armstrong, Ore gon City; C U. szenar, Aiuanyj iii'nim. niv and wife. Amity: Fred Burton, Tilla mook: L H.
