DECISION.
The long awaited and anxiously
'' expected decision of the suprome
- court of the Btate In the rullroad con
tract case has at last been handed
down, and to suy that It Is a bitter
disappointment to ninety five pur
cent of the citizens of KoBcburg and
the surrounding country, is putting
1s mildly. The prevailing opinion
lias been Unit possibly some Blight
alterations in the contract would be
called for In order to further safe
'' guard t ho Interests of the city, and
there was llttlo question hut that
these would bo met by the Kendalls.
Everything was ready to aturt active
operations as soon as theso minor
alterations had been satisfactorily
adjusted, llut the wholesalo sweep-
'(ing denunciation of the contruct,
with Its rovursal and enjolndor, hus
not been looked for, even by the
most bitter of the opponents of the
measure. Uul, citizens of Rosoburg,
you must not lie downcast, and see
in this decision the downfall of
all your hopos. There Is future for
this city In tlio millions upon mill
ions of foot of untouched timber at
our very threshold, and means will
"lie found through which It can and
-will be utilized. This Is only the
beginning of the efforts which will
ironi now be put forth to bring to a
i fiuccossful finish that which is the
: aspiration 'and hope of an almost
unanimous community. The earn
est, enthusiastic and persistent citi
zenship which Is iback of tho move
for a grontor und more prosperous
Koseburg, will not admit a defeat
that iBMrrotrlevable, but with a con
fidence In it ho righteousness and
Justice of their couso, will at once
proparo to wngo a campaign which
will cortulnly end in complete vic
tory nud vindication.
In tho meantime, no benefit can
be gained by vilification of thoso
whoso opposition has engendered tho
disputes and litigation, nor n cen
sure of the court for rendering a
decision against tho almost tinunl
mous will of tho community. To tho
former, wo enn only glvo our pity
nnd connnlsorntlon that they will
nver be considered ns tearers down,
Instond of builders up, and wo will
Klvo thorn credit with assuming that
tho opposition was sincere, und bas
ed only on the opinion that tho con
tract was one not honoriclal to tho
city. As to the memhers of the hon
orable court, to whoso mandate tho
rHIzeiiB will how, tho hope is enter
tained that when n new mcasuro Is
Presented to them for Its seal of ap
proval, It will lio of such a nature
that lis ratification hy the court will
bo a cause for iib much rejoicing as
tho presont adverse decision lias
boon (one of gloom.
Till': SCHOOL SITE,
T Now that the mutter of deciding
on one of the plans Tor the new High
School Is but a few rinys avV if
1b proper that the citizens give their
attention Ji a serious manner to the
nct,ual location sot tho iproposcd
liulldlng, nnd a free expression of
opinion will doubtless be appreciated
' " the .members of tho board. A
school bulldln, such ns Is
contemplated Is not only
a home for our children during
. school hours, but It Is a standing ad
""A'ertlsemont of tho progress and ad
vancement of tho community, and as
such, should have a conspicuous and
commanding site. Nothing lingers
longer in the in lint of tho passing
stranger than splendid municipal,
church and school buildings, and
when theso are so located In natural
advantageous positions whero the
rye catches them first, the effect Is
heightened. In a mutter of this
kind sectional strlfo for the honor of
location should be dropped and a
unlteM effort made to secure thaCj
place most suitable from every stand
point. This building will be one
of the largest and most important In
Roseburg, It will be built to meet the
requirements of the next two score
years, it will be the meeting place
of every educational function or
the tUy and country, and should be
easily found, and as easy of access.
In the selection of such a site, the
board should have the hearty sup
port of the community.
Scarcely two people In the entire
city could bo found shaking hands
and congratulating each other ovei
the supreme court decision. The
plain facts aro that the opposition
had dwindled by degrees, until a
mere handful existed, and some oi
those had made preparations fo:
reaping the benetit which they be
gan to see would follow the Btartint
of the lumber mills project.
KAI'IIKSSIONS HEARD OX THE
STREET AFTER RESULT OF
DECISION BECAME KNOWS
One business man stated that he
was going to make an effort to Bel
his buriness and move out of town,
as he could not see his way clear to
make any money In Koseburg.
"Old Man Gloom" and his follow
ers held complete control of the cit'
this afternoon and tho sense of de
pression became so thick that it was
imiposaiblc for . anyone to smile.
"General Prosperity" and his army
took to -instant tligt at the first
word of the victory of tho Hunter
forces In Salem. '
Several citizens suggested the
abandoning of tho Strawberry Car
nival this year, as thero would be
nothing to advertise hero by that
time. Others stated that in case thr
festival was held they would be com
pelled to cut down the amount of
their subscriptions which . had
pledged, as they fully counted upon
the construction work commencing
before that time and business wouh:
wnrrant a substantial donation.
Small knots of business men were
to be seen In front of their places'
of business this afternoon, and the
ono subject of conversation was the
decision of the supreme court. The
oplnlXi seemed to be tinnnlmous that
trndo this Bluing and summer never
had a i brighter outlook until today,
as hundreds were counting upon the
work received from the construction
work and the building of the school
house and federal building to break
the monotony of seevral months oi
IdlcnosB. Most of the business -yen
wore fnces long enugh to eat hay
after hearing of the decision.

Walking
Walking is oxe of the best exercises
that coulil be taken. Only one, per
haps, can excel it which iB swim
ming. I3ut as swimming is beyond
the reach of many women, they must
take- walking as a next beat sub
stitute. However, you must be sure yoa are
walking correctly, for if you aro not,
you lose all the wonderful benefits
from. it. Walk briskly, head up and
chin out, eyes ahead, chest up. Walk
with an easy, swinging step, and wear
low or moderate heels and loose
clothing.
Many women have a way of hunch
ing themselves along that 1b not
healthy, and surely not pretty.
Others amble. Watch a crowd of
shoppers not In the stores, where
the various attractions cause them to
take on a sort of scurrying gait, and
where the people Jostle but watch
them on the streets. One woman
hobbles, BtiU imagining she wears a
narrow skirt, another has gone to the
extreme and la ken up the stride of
an athlete. Many walk with caved-iu
cheBts and stooped shoulders; very
few combine grace and ease in their
walk.
Walking Is an art, to be mastered
by every woman who wants beauty
and health. It will help pull flesh off
you, if you have too much, and tone
up the system and build flesh if you
ere too thin. If you work in an
office, at least yqu can walk part of
the way there or back each day; if
your duties are In the household, you
can steal away time for an outdoor
tramp.
If you are dressed for It, warmly In
the winter, and at all times in loose,
sensible clothing, you will marvel at
the benefit it will do you and the In
crease In heath and energy.
