ON 13 of Motif orcl's most urgent needs is nn mlcciunlo building law and a oompotont building inspector. The attempts made to remodel old buildings on promi nent corners to secure exorbitant rentals upon slight in vestments, instead of building creditable business struc tures, has about reached its limit. There seems no way under present laws to stop it. It is bad enough to remodel frame shacks by cutting them half in two. Though unsightlv and an eyesore, this does not endanger life, but the effort to modernize old brick structures by removing part of the foundation wall is a matter of public eoneeun, as the collapse of such a structure might entail great loss of life. A case in point is the Adkins block on iMain and Cen tral avenue. This three-story structure was built in 18SS, one of the first brick buildings in the city. It bears no evidence of having had a penny spent upon it in the line of improvement since its erection. Its safety was ques tioned a few years ago, and an inspection made with a view to condemnation, on account ot a bulge m the Central avenue wall. The investigators concluded it had been built that way and was, for the time being, at any rate, safe. A few weeks ago work was begun to put a modern front in the building. The walls in front and on the side for a space of approximately 20 feet were removed. Struc tural iron posts and beams were used to replace the brick taken out. The building has the appearance of settling. The up right iron posts are not plumb and do not line. Rig cracks have appeared in the brick front between second and third stories, and another and wider crack has extended into the adjoining brick building. The bulge in the side wall is very noticeable. While there may be no danger of a collapse of the struc ture, an investigation by competent persons should be made, and if not safe, the building condemned. The city cannot afford to take a chance when human life may be at stake, no matter whose property is affected. There may be, probably are, other instances deserving of notice, other old structures on the verge ot collapse, some of them due to the efforts to remodel instead of re building. In all such cases an expert should examine buildings and pass upon the proposed alterations before permission is granted to make them. This is a subject deserving of immediate attention, and one in which delay mar result in fatalitv. Not onlv old buildings, but new ones, should have rigid inspection of materials and methods. Action todav mar save funerals tomorrow.

New York, the biggest city in the United States, is going to be the quietest, relatively speaking, on the Fourth of July. The "safe and sane" idea, tried for the first time here last year, worked out so -well that it is to be put into full effect next Tuehday and woe betide tho "Young American" whose mis guided patriotism or whatever it ;s that produces 'noise on this day gets the better of him and he goes to zip-bing-banging. Really the program nrrnnged for this giddy town is so old-fashioned in many of its features and of such a somnolunt tone throughout that ono wonders how it was that such a progrum was ever conceived. The official celebrations will end nt noon nud tho afternoon will be given over to sports but even hero the police will be on watch to see that the usual bedlam of Fourth of July noises, is absent. DROWNED CHAUFFEUR'S BODY IS RECOVERED GRANTS PASS, Or., June 30. Tho body of John Powder of Port hind, who was drowned two weeks ugo, has been found below Hell Gate. Powder mid his brother, Antone Powdor, und a uoinpnninu, Paul Steir, wero on thoir way down Hoguu river on nn outing. They bought a boat hero, but wore warned not to try to make tho trip, us tho boat was too small, but being accustomed to tho wntor they thought they would ho Bfe. Thoy loft Grants Pass about two weeks ago and had no mibhaps until thoy struck the second rifflu below Hell Gate, where tho boat cap sized. Autono Powder and Soir Huved themselves. Tho body was in such had condi tion that it hud to bo buried at oneo. John Powdor wns a chauffeur for the Mnrshall & Wells company of Port land. His parents live at 022 Lowis street, Rookford, 111, THERE is a tliirtj- years' war for every uniformed sol dier on the face of the earth against the mosquito alone. The struggle would be attended by all the adven ture, excitement and risk of actual warfare, says Dr. Woods Hutchinson in a recent article. It would develop to the full the military virtues of courage, initiative, dar ing and devotion. When it was ended, instead of destroy ing tens of thousands of human lives, it would have saved millions, and would have added nearly one-fourth to the habitable and productive area of the globe. Turn every battery of artillery in the world against that angel of pestilence, the common house-fly, and in ten years he would be exterminated, root and branch. With him would go half of our fifty thousand deaths in the United States every year from the summer diseases of children, two-thirds of 'our dysenteries and cholera mor bus, and one-fourth of our typhoid, with not a little of our tuberculosis, our tetanus, and our boils and blood-poison ings.
