William Wil lett, whose proposal several years ago to "manufacture daylight'' by legislation to move all clocks forward attracted world-wide attention, Is dead at Ohlslehuret, near London. William Wlllett's daylight saving bil, which waa discussed In the Brit ish parliament in the spring of 1909, provided for tH earlier use of day light by putting forward the clock 20 minutes on four successive Sun. days in April and reversing the pro cess on four Sundays in September. This procedure, it was argued would bring moretlme at the end of the day for recreation while the sun was Ktlll up. The measure never be came law in England. SPRING MEDICINE' Hood's 8arsaparilla, the Grist Blood P"-'ir, is the Bct. Spring sickne.j comes in some de gree to every man, woman ana child in our climate. It is that run-down condition of the system that results from impure, impoverished, devitalized blood. It Is marked by loss of appetite and that tired feeling, and in many cases by some form of eruption. The best way to treat spring sick ness is to take Hood's Barsaparllla. This old reliable family medicine purifies, enriches and revitalizes the blood. It is an all-the-year-round alterative and tonic, and is abso lutely the bent Bprlng medicine. Get your blood In good condition at once now. Delay may be dan- srerous. Ask your druggist for Hood's BarNaparllla, and insist on having it, for nothing else can take Its place.

This subtle opposition Is bared on the dem onstrated fact that good roads and auto trucks cut down the thort haul business for the railroads and reduce freight rates. This Is regretable of course from th railroad standpoint. I'ut Is that any reason why evolution should be block ed and the state penalized? Certainly nut. The farmer and the merchant muht meet competitive conditions, whether they like It or not. Is It un fair to ask the railroads to do the same? If we are to have a road to the river that will give us the benefits of the open river without delay and with out palaver the way to bund that road is to build It while we can.

Its competition has forced its rival, the Cleveland Electric a.. J Illuminat ing Co., to reduce rates to large user of power sufficiently to save them between $800,000 and 11.000.000 yearly. Its service lines are being extended throughout the city, and more con sumers every week are taking Its J cent service In preference to the pri vate company's 5-cent to 10-cent service. These and other facts concerning Cleveland's latest experiment In mu nicipal ownership, were reported In the Post-Dispatch Wednesday. In an a staff correspondent, who J article by We want YOU to?

Hie Cork? But we will get morel than a road. We will get a river the greatest one In the west and a river through which we may have transportation connection by water with all the world. If that hard surface road to the river Is built this county will have the advantage of a new transportation agency. What water transportation mean may be Judged from the fact the or dinary grain rate from Portland to Liverpool Is no greater than the rail rate from Pendleton to Portland. It may be Judged from the fact the grain rate from New York to Liverpool Is but three cents a bushel whereas the rail rate from here to Portland Is eight and a half cents a bushel. What water transportation will accomplish may be Judged from the fact the com pletion of the Cascade Locks canal brought about a 40 per cent reduction in the grain rate from The Dalles to Portland. From the standpoint of the Umatil la county farmer the opening of the Columbia river, provided we get ac cess to the river, will be an event ol far greater Importance than would be the construction of a new transcon tinental railroad through this section Railroad operating cost are greater than the cost that falls upon steamer lines. Railroads have to build and maintain expensive tracks. Mother Nature keeps the Columbia river golnx and the flow of the stream Is In the direction we wish the wheat to go. With Mother Nature kind enough to provide the ocean and the river and with the I'nlted States government having taken steps to overcome the obstruction at Celllo It is not asking much of local people to ask them tn build a road to the river. Nature and the government have done their part and they now say In substance: "Here is a bottle of na tural wine' from which you muy get continuous economic benefits, all you have to do is pull the cork and drink." Have we enough gumption to pull the cork?

Frederick W. 1'ullard, Cleveland city linht commissioner, is nere as th guest of St. Louis civic societies, tell ing St. Louis audiences how Cleveland did it. and what more Cleveland In tends doing. This subject should engage the close attention of all St. Lnuisuns. They should be especially Interested in Ballard's statement that St. Loui can buy coal for making electric cur rent 13 1-2 per cent cheaper than Cleveland. If Cleveland can pay for a $3,000. 000 electric plant with sales at rates ranging from 3 cents per unit down to 1 cent and the Cleveland plant, Its principal station opened only seven months ago. is already on a paying basis why cannot St. Iiuls, with cheaper coal, enjoy a similar benefit St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Oet In line Mr. Farmer and Mr. Pusinessman and Insure this 'county ocean transportation connections. It would be a blunder to defer build Ing a road to the Columbia river in hope of securing a Use the Door district road law While it In Ojcn. from the next leg islature. The plan of raising a $100,000 sub scription answers the purpose of the district road bill which the legislature rejected. The next legislature may again reject such legislation. The next legislature may even go' farther and repeal the county bonding law. thus shutting off all hope of securing such a road as this county needs, There Is a new element of antag- f nlsm to good roads In Oregon.
