Edenbower this forenoon, C. R. Titus'
spirited team took fright and plunged
toward the railroad crossing near the
Edenbower store, and without pay
ing the slightest attention to a pass
ing freight train, collided with the
moving cars. In some way wholly a
mystery to everyone who witnessed
the runaway, the team escaped In
jury, but the wagon was ground to
kindling wood In the Impact against
the side of the train. Turning
square about after the collision the
horses started up the road toward the
city, and when caught were just at
the turn around the base of the hill

pavement. How the team managed
to escape Injury is the wonder of the
spectators witnessing the- smashup.
The engineer of the train saw the

WILL USE LADY BUGS
TO COMBAT APHIS
The finding of about 265 pounds of
lady bird bettles, more commonly
known - as "lady bugs,": by a forest
ranger of Dlsston will delight many
agriculturists of this community as
the beetles will be brought to this
city to be released early In the spring
to control aphis. The lady bug is
the greatest foe of the aphis which
last year attacked the gardens of this
vicinity with disastrous results. As
the winter season approaches, the
beetles go to the mountains and hi

line, cacheB oftimes being. found con

this state they appead icy and dead
but with the coming of spring they
awake and lay eggs In great numbers.
The larvae appears quickly and' at
tacks the aphis, a larva being known
to devour as many as 600 aphis In
a few hours, while each ot the beetles
lay many thousand eggs, so that an
abundance of lady bugs meanB free

very destructful.
The' cache was found by an em
ployee -of the forest service who no

Dlsston to bring the beetles to thiB
city. They will be held here until

of Investigations. Its recommenda
tions follow:
"In the Circuit Court of the State
of Oregon for Douglas County:' ;
To the Hon. J.,' Hamilton, ,
Judge of the above entitled Court:
'.We, the undersigned, members of
the Grand Jury for Douglas County,
Oregon, duly empanelled at this, the
regular February, 1919; term of this
Court, beg to, report that we have
carefully. Investigated and examined
Into the different charges' of crime
committed and triable within ' said
county, and returned true bills
where, In our Judgment.the evidence
was sufficient, and not true bills
where the evidence was deemed in
sufficient, In accordance with the In
structions given us by Your Honor.
In acordance with the instructions
given us to, investigate into (he con
duct of the different county offices
and the county jail, we beg to call
attention to several matters which in
our opinion we consider of great im
portance to the welfare of the gen
aral public, as follows:-
-.-f ... County Jail.-'.;x- '. :'-'.
'! First, we call attention to the de
plorable, unsanitary and filthy con
dition of the-county Jail. - While we
do, not -reopmmand. a.-,new. jail at thle
time, we do wish to call attention to
the condition In which the Jail - Is
kept, and recommend thatthe custo
dian of the Jail Immediately : take
steps, to put the same In such con
dition, that it will become in some
degree '"a frt-habitation'-'fol" human
beings. .-:-..:... ,
1. More lights should be Installed.
' 2. The place should! be kept clean
iy the Inmates thereof, and It should
be the duty of the custodian to Bee
that this is done. We find piles of
ashes accumulated inside. , We And
other debris therein accumulated,
which would resemble more of a gar
bage or dumping ground than- it
would a place for a person to reside.
f 3. That the present bedding there
in should be Immediately destroyed,
by burning the same, and that new
bedding -be procured, and that the
custodian - thereof be chargeable
therewith- And see that It Is kept In
suitable condition, and that -it-, be
changed and aired as It should he;

We visited the county poor farm,
and spent some time examining the
same, .and also -questioning the in
mates thereof, and we find that said
farm is conducted In a firBt class
mariner. We And that the inmates
are! properly cared for and provided
with crood.- wholesome food; and we
wish, ) therefore) 40 ' commend j. the

As a further recommendation, we
urge the County Court to take steps
to have a, cement floor, put In the
basement of the Home, so that the
place will be more useable ana com
fottable. i . .:. ' : ' ' -'.

the removal of the Cottonwood

EIGHTY COLLEGES WILL
TAKE WAR SPECIALS
- The U. S. Employment office Is In
receipt of a letter from P. P. Claxton,
Commissioner of Education, Depart
ment of -the Interior, In which he
gives a list of eighty normal schools,
colleges and . universities that will
admit returning soldiers, as "War
Specials",
This Is a wonderful opportunity for
boys who wish to take up advanced
education and complete opportunity
for boys who wish to take up advanc
ed education and complete the train
ing that many of them have been car
rying on In the Y. M. C. A. huts, both
In Europe and In the cantonments..
Even the old job may not look so
alluring, now that the government Is
offering bo many advantages in the
way of an education preparing for
higher things.
From the standpoint of the super
intendent of the local employment
office, these young men, who feel that
they are fitted for Buch a profession,
could be ot no higher service to their
fellowmen than by fitting themselves
as teachers; especially as teachers in
our rural districts.
A voune man, who will go Into one
of the more inaccessible rural sec
tions o.f the country and become the
Boclal leader of that community,
helping not only the boys and girls,;
but the men anq women, to 'nave
higher Ideals has accomplished more
than many, who have accumulated' a
fortune. No profession today, since
the draft has shown the appaling
illiteracy of some sections of our
country, is as neceBsary ror tne main
taining and development of our de
mocracy, as that of teaching our com
ing generations. . '
Even with the .advent, of, the, auto
mobile many communities of' even
DouglasN county are almost inacces
sible during the winter monthB, and
the people of those sections have to
rely upon each other for their social
Intercourse. A teacher, who Is a na
tural leader of people and who will
put his whole energy Into such lea
dership, can develope such ideals
along moral, religious and economic
lines that his work will be noticable
years after he has left that com
munity. ,." ' ' ' '
FISH BILL SENT
TO
SALEM, Ore., Feb. IB. The flBh
and game code, on the third read
ing In the house today, was sent back
to the game committee to straighten
out some objections Which arose on
the floor of the house, there being
a tangle as to the printed amend
ments. '
, Objection. arose against the bill on
the ground that It gives to the com
mission plenary powers to fix the
salaries of its employees, but it be
comes evident In the debate that a
large following in the house will
stand for letting the commission
handle Its BalarleB. However, objec
tion to the new plan has not been
quelled.
Representative LewU protested
against a section of the bill which
makeB It a flneable offense for any
person to violate any of the rules
or regulations laid down by the com
mission. He declared that thlB would
make an autocracy of the commis
sion, Some of the other, members
asserted .that this provision is feas
ible aiid logical.
All ot these points will be threshed
over In the game committee,
