"Iioseburg More Beautiful," Is to bo the slogan this spring, and I know of no butler way to appeal to you than' through our local papers, as this is likely the last time I will call on you to assist us in making Kose hurg a cleaner ami a more beautiful town. To accomplish this task we must have your co-operative support. We must all work together tor that pur poses. It may be a hobby of mine, hut I would like, when our clean-up day comes this spring, to see Hose burg cleaner titan It ever was before. Ami then let's keep at it and never let the dirt and rubbish accumulate again. I want to thank the Civic Club, the teachers, the parents and everyone else who is taking an Interest in this movement for a cleaner and a pret tier Koseburg. There are so many things to do in this line that there is plenty of work for all. Your town is your outdoor home; its prosperity adds lo your welfare, and success is just as sure in your town as else where, perhaps surer. There are a number of vacant lots in every section of the town. "Why can not these be cleaned up and planted in gardens? They have stood i idle from year lo year, producing only weeds which go lo seed, and these in turn blow over on the prop- i erty of some neighbor who is trying i to keep up his place. We have in J Iioseburg families of modest means: who should In- willing to plant gar-: dens, for isn't it true that the re turns from any well kepi garden will materially assist in holding down 1 living expenses? Then, too, there is no doubt that there are boys and girls right here in our home town who would be willing and anxious to . plant and take care of a garden. Why not give them the opportunity? Why not encourage those who are willing to be busy lies, and h't them clean up the back yards and plant all kinds of garden truck? It would be much more im pressive to a stranger, as well as to ourselves, to see a nice garden in the back yard than rubbish and weeds. It is not too early to commence this right away, for if it is sod it slum Id be plowed or spaded now. And, when clean up day comes don't be afraid tliat you will offend the city by putting out a big pile of rub bish in front of your house. We want all you have. Later wo will advertise the dates on which the teams will be in your part of the city to haul It away. So give us your co-operative sup port by doing something yourself which will add to the beauty of the town. Ir might be a good idea if you are in business to look over your store and'see if some paint won't help the looks of the building. We are all creatures of imitation and since imitation is so potent a factor! in our lives, example mmt be the goddess of destiny.

Clean Teeth to Mark Attend ance of Local School Pupils With the addition of many new activities to the local schools lately, which look to the conservation of youth and the protection of health in the child, the latest to appear in the Iioseburg schools is that ol the propt r care of the teeth. Within a short time it may be the distinguish ing feature of daily attendance, and in the tuture be the explanation of the scarcity and the little need for local deiiii-t. Yesterday at the meeting of the Rose -school P. Tent-Teacher Associa tion. Ir. K. M. Uriiiufi'-ld outlined a plan for pinvidiiig a rKular dental clinic in connection with the school, while Prof. R.

Mrs. Endicott ar rived, in Salem yesterday from En terprise, Oregon. She became the iiic'lier of a baby girl January 23.

Endicott, when arrested in Spokane, was assistant manager jf the Coour d'Alene hotel and vice pnsident of the Spokane Hotel Men's Asociation.

BOTH MEN ARE KNOWN HERE At the Time of the I Yelt miliary Hearing at Oakland Mr, Mode Was Held to Appeal Hcl'oie the (inuid Jury. That the grand jury will not file a report in the Circuit Court before some time tomorrow, was the state ment o f District Attorney Ceorge Xeuner this afternoon. The grand jury this morning took up the case of 11. S. Mode, of Kol-lo-ig, who is accused of committing an assault upon C. 11. Maupln. also a resident of the Kellogg vicinity. Tli ere were several witnesses culled to testify in the case, including Ross II itchinson. Hoy Fisher and a young in in by the name of Ituder. All three witnesses are residents of the K 'Hogg vicinity and are said to have l( .'ii present when the alleged trouble between Mr. Mode and Mr. M. in pin occurred. Mr. Maupln al leges that while preparing to leave K'-IUmg after attending a road meet ir.g held there some time ago, he w.if followed to the county hiuhway by Mr. Mode and assaulted. The as sa tilt was eommilteed, according to tie officers, for the reason that Mr. Mode was not in sympathy with the a t ton taken at the meeting by M r. M. upin and his followers. (in the day following the trouble, Mr. Mode is alleged to have appear ed before the justice of the peace a. Kellogg, where he pleaded guilty 1 ;i charge of simple assault. He v 's lined in ttie sum of $.". The disposition of the r;is was not sat islactory to Mr. Maupin and a war rant was Issued later in the Oaklnd (Continued on I-Ntge Six.) for examining the mouths of the pu pi Is, and that with the informa tion given as tn what was required, the pupils would be able to have tii-ur work duie in a short time dur ing the following vacation. I)r. ' linnnfieid said this would also prove a creat ennvt-nience in taking care of the children's work. The plan for (he daily care in the schools requires that each pupil shall have a brush and washing material and that at a certain hour during the d.'.v each room will march to an es- ! p cially fitted room where they will jci. e their teeth fare under the di jr ''tion of their teacher.

American off i- rials close in touch with the situa-j lion at lterlin say that C.ennany is financing a peace progaganda, at- j tempting to forestall President YVil-j :ion's next action until their submur-i ines are ready to strike at America J in the event of war. Officials are; inclined to view suspiciously Ger many's attempt to start negotiations! through the Swiss minister. They j belie ve the move Is merely one of expediency to gain time while start ing peace agitation in the I'nlted States. Ambassador Cerard is sending an emphatic warning to Washington that the Overseas News Agency is being used to mould public opinion. Also that the Official Press Itureau colors lterlin dispatches. It can be stated positively that the Cerman censor repeatedly halted failed Press and Associated Press mes sages, and in the meanwhile sent through the Overseas Agency Infor mation directly contrary to the cor respondent's dispatches. The censor concealed the fact that; Germany attempted to force Gerard , to sign an agreement guaranteeing German vessels sate conduct home ; from American ports in case of war. j The censorship concealed Hie real; developments, withheld facts of the! aid I ve anti-A in erica n propaganda, of -;i nt i-A in erica n speeches in the! Reichstag, and that prominent Ger-j man leaders finiineod aiiti-Americau ; and anti-Gerard agitation and that German statesmen fiercely assailed Wilson. The ( iceman press depart -1 nients are centering their efferts on ; convincing Americans of the hor rors of war, on the theory that, Americans are cowards anil do not; dare to fight. Germany is still de- ! taining American consuls and nonel have reached the border. The wives of three prominent A m erica n ofl'i ials were stripped, bathed and; searched.

RAILROADS WILL BE GUARDED Administration Otlicials Have About Lost Hoik That Actual War Willi Germany Will Ho Avoided. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 Ambas sador ilerard officially notified the State lU'parlnicnt that the Hermans forced American Minister Whitlock to lower hia Hag from the American Embassy, cut Whitlock's communica tions with Washington, and detained all American relief workers in Jlel glum. The State Department also received official Information that (lennany attempted to force Gerard to ratify the Prussian American treaty, under penalty of holding the American newspaper men hoslnges. The officials are fast losing hope that actual war will be avoided, tier many has abandoned alt caution. The treatment of Mr. Whitlock made the situation tho gravest since relations were broken.

REST ROOMS TO BE QUIPPED .Merchants Association Selects Com mittee and Action .Will Bo Taken ut Once oil Cannery If tho Funds Aro Obtainable. Tho establishment of a cannery here received its biggest and so fur most encouraging Impetus, when Its possibilities were discussed from every angle at a meeting of tho lo cal Merchants' Association Wednes day evening. Rut In ways that will tend not to produce a bubble and end finally in a structure merely of "hot air,' It was decided that the project should be developed mainly In Be .'rel, but persistent action. That the proposition may he taken up and actual construction started he fore the end of the present sum mer, however, was tho opinlou of several, who said thoy had made a partial Investigation and were in n position to give a view with regard to tho necessary hacking. It was estimated that $ I O.OOU would he re quired to build tho plant and pro vide It with modern euuipment. This amount, Is was stuted, could prob ably he raised with little difficulty. From tho attitude us expressed during the meeting, it was evident that ihe local business men are In terested in tho proposition and they wUl aid materially when an effort Is nuide to get It under way. In order Hint action may be started at once, it was decided to nppolnt a commit tee of three and those will take the tyalter up with the Commercial Club ai an effort to devise means for mak ing the project a reality. It was tho belief of practically all present that the proposition should be placed on i substantial basis and (hat no at tempt should ho made to conduct such an Institution without the capi tal stock fully paid for. If the capi tal Is forthcoming and the farmers are Interested, it is believed that the persons who aro nn.xlnus to secure ihe plant will have It assured with in the next few months. In the meantime work will he done in se cret among the business men and further plans will probably not bo marie known until all funds and sup plies have been pledged. The cannery is a plant that will provide use for the large quantities of fruit and vegetables that are now wasted, it was said, and has long been agitated, but without results. Tho business men are now awake to its need here and It was decided that everything will be done to bring about Its establish men t. I test Hooin IHscussed.
