That new depot will soon be reality and great will ho tho satis faction of thousands of patrons of the railway company. Tho action of Ituly in Tripoli Is an Illustration of tho bad old rule, "'I hut they shall tako who have (hp power, and they shall keep who can. Whatever ho professes to believe the man who is glum and sour and looks darkly npft lire lias not got tn booster spii.t he simply has bile. . No man can get away entirely from his fellows, therefore It is not possible to live altogether to oneself. Yet there are some' who nearly suc ceed In doing it because of their laek o power and energy. Practically they are nonentities. If yon have that feeling of despon dency and ft far-awny look in the oyo get your optics directed at North Itoseburg, then swing them around to the progressive home builders to tho south of town with a partial glaiiro to the oast and west. If this doesn't make a optomlst of you your chances for a greater re ward has been dispelled. A factory or two would help some to nuiko Itosehurg a greater and brighter city. No other city can offer better inducements than the queen city of tho Umpqim Valley, if as much exertion was directed along thorn) lines as those to guln .selfish endH, one would hear tho early whistle of a number of new industries. Peculiar every now and then what inconceivable "things" will bob up to avert a possible disaster to the city. Who ever thought that "near- beer was strong enough to ' float a bond Ihsuo- or change the "gray mutter" In the cranlnins of certain con nel linen. Great were the mira cles of our Hnvlur but they pass Into oblivion when compared to some of the "stuntH" recently recorded. Most likely the phenomenal in crease of the socialist vote at many recent elections was due mainly to dissatisfaction within the ranks ol the old parties cat her than any real acceptance of socialist doctrines. This Is particularly true of many cities where tho corrupt methods ol old time politicians forced many voters to turn temporarily to social Ism for relief. If John and James MeNamnra had received their sentences In Oregon their penalty for the crimes com mitted would havo been equal to a "Joy ride", for It would bo but a short erIod Iteforo both of the crim inals would be at large under 5ov. Wost's parole system. It's different In California or rather the govern nor of that slate don't lot his good judgment become poetrylzed. It has been well pointed nut that tho modern country school house he cause of Us better equipment of desks and other furniture Is not so convenient for social gatherings, and Hint perhaps tells somewhat against country life. Hut with the increasing wealth and other advantages now en joyed by farmers It ought (o he pos sible to have a hall or room in some central point in a township where farmers and their families con hi meet frequently for social doings and for discussion of various subjecu. It would add greatly to the attrac tion of rural llfo. LOCAL NEWS. O. A. Dowser spent the day at Kiddie attending to various business interests. T. J.

The photo play had through out the duy exceptional crowds and tho management announces a con tinuance of the performance at the Sttir theatre for an Indefinite run. This is the first attempt which has ever been mado to reduce a subject of this magnitude to modern pic tures. Previous efforts to use the vast subject for operatic or dramatic purposes ended In failure. Motion pictures and Italian photo graphic art solved the problem. The Ml la no company utilized a vast na tural region for the scenic back ground. This area was composed of low hills, lakes, rivers and caverns. The Italians succeeded In presenting a very lifelike and real copy of the wondrous drawings of Gustav Do re. The Star's "Inferno" Is presented as a completo Huron hm whole and furnished the en tiro evening's enter tainment, except a pipe organ accom paniment. Tho story of Dante's "Inferno," briefly told, is that of n poet whose soul is superchanged with grief over lovo without response, A Journey through purgatory.
