The otiija board continues to pro vide amusement for social jsather Inm. and patients for insane asy lums. One ho3iiial for montal dis ordfrB, in Bosiuu, has reoftved 24 victims afneo tlie ouija craz stiirtwl. gome of them seem hopelrss. If fif ures could be obtained for the whole country, it would doubtless be found that the recognized canus of Insanity or dementia resulting from unwise devotion to this Innocent looklna lit tle device runs Into the thousands. It cannot be too often repeated that It Is unaafe to meddle with any kind of 'occult" experiment unless the experimenter Is sure of bis own mental poise and known exactly what he Is doing, and even then It Is better not to meddle. Students of such mat lent Rive explanations of the ouija board which sound simple enough, and yet do not explain. The Instrument Itself Is pot so new as most persons InmRlne; it Is only the old "planchetie" with a new name. It 1a one of the many devices, and perhaps the most convenient one. In tendod for "automatic writing." Such wrltiiift, psychologists say, Is done by the "subconscious mind" without tho exercise of the will. Other people give other explanations, referring the phenomena of such writing to "astral bodies." to telepathy, and some even to "devils." The messages verily imprest the latter source sometimes, so Ingeniously is mischievous false hood mixed with truth. This much at leant Is sure: The powers of the human mind are as yet uncharted; tho mind's capacities for self-harm are great, anad in the bor derland of eonscioiisnesH lurk forces that none but an adept can know and cope with. Novices utterly fail to realize the power of these forces for good or evil. The ouija board, slnte writlng, cryniul-KitzfiiK, hypnotism, tuble-tipping, tiplrlt-rnpping, all kinds of "psychicul stunts," are perilous, condemned uliko by religion, science and common sense. "That wuy mad nesB lies." higher than they ought to be Is for I'Xpeitis o Kiy. If the it; is really any dibcriiiiinutiuu against building ma terials, present or prospective, it la doubly wroig, for to its essential In justice Is added the unfortunate ef fect it is bound to have on an fndus- trv already too heavily handicapped, It tli ore is to be any deviation at all from a fi.uk of rates calculated for normal coudiilons, building malurialb should certain. y be favored rather than penalized. The country needb le w houses, roadu, bridges and many other forms of construction mure than it needs any other material thing. If favorable freight rates will wtiuulute building, rate theories luifcht be sacrKfccd temporarily for practical advantage. The little city of Yoncalla, to the north of Ho burg, has the distinc tion of electing a municipal ticket at the election Tuesday Composed en tin ly of women. It's a two to one bet that YoncaHa will be the best governed city lu the Culled States for the next two years. The nieu of that community will probably be put on K. P. duly la l ho not distant future. No defeated candidate need worry about another Job. The bunluess world offers hrtier opportunities than the political art mi for well trained and efficient men and women. TOO Ml'C'II JOIINSOX. Ever hear of Old Man Johnson who rose In the great printing Industry from devil to boHs of a one-man phop and all within thirty years? says the DuslnesB Printer. When he was a young man lie did Just what he was told to do nothing more. If he was not told to do any thing he sat down and did nothing. When asked to lend a hand in any undertaking ho said: "Where do I come In on this?" He always wanted to get before he would give. He was always afraid somebody would do too much work for the money they were getting out of their Jobs. "You b t I won't do a duru stroke more than I have to." "Too much Johnson." said the foreman, and the old man got fired. Then a supply house set him up with a small plant a dollar down and a dollar a week and for twenty years Johnson has been struggling to hold the plant, and he nearly always scrapes up the dollar. Johnson gels nowhere never will. Johnson never knew that crop fail ures in the fli-lds of service are un known. He never learned that the first law of nature is for one to give before one gets. Harvests only fol low seed sowings and cultivations. If wo want more we must give more. Heaping measures of service bring heaping rewnrds. No boss determines a renl man's salary; it is up to the man. JudiMng from the election returns both local and nai lonal no one limn was responsible for the land slide. It was simply a unanimous go-get-'em affair. National and county affairs being settled from a political standpoint, we can again get down to business and bit her up for the old town and county at large. A woman, aged C5 years, has been ef ted sheriff of Koseouimon coun ty. Michigan. Looks like a pretty "heavy" Job for the old girl. What Is more pathetic than a rich old man who imagines the young girl is marrying him for love? Kven though a woman tuny be aide to "make it hot ( noueh" for her husband, that doesn't signify that she's a good cook. The next big ewnt of importance occurs Nov. 1 I. Armistice Hay. Let's put it over with a bang. ff you'd keep out of trouble, don't brag. A whale wouldn't be har pooned If he didn't blow. It looks like a republican year and (hen some.

Anderson with marked success and which ho is bringing to the l'a- cillc coast for a special lour, has In Is cast two "type" actors of excep tional ubllity. Oral Humphreys, who has special ized In "rube" characters for many years, is an actor of national repu tation. For muny years he was a nember of the fatuous Ye Liberty unci, company on the Pacific coast, van sp cially engaged for the wesl rn production of George M.

Jackson Street m Yoncalla Elects Women as Officers Yoncalla women have decided thnt the men folks of that community must hand over the reins of govern ment. They decided this long before Tuosdny'g election and made an or ganized campaign to elect women as city officials Thnt !h on in it.i 1 tr ii ur ii a extremely well organized is not in uic least uouuieu, tor wnen the bal lots were counted Tuesday night, it was found that all city offices would be occupied by women for the en suing year. Men opponents were de feated for all offices. Those e'cted were: Mayor, Mrs. Mary Hurt: Mem bers of the council, Mrs. Hernlce Wilson, Mrs. Jennie D.. Laswell, Mrs. Nettie Hnilfin nml lPa L'.inh ti Thompson. Inefficiency was the chief count in tha Indictment of tho women cam paigners ftfr.'lillut lh. .r! holders. Tn their pre-election meet ings attended solely by women, the charges were made that the city of ficials were allowing breaks In the sidewalks to go unrepaired, that the speeding automobiles were not con trolled that the streets wore insuf flciciently lighted, and that a general (slackness lu municipal affairs pre I vailed. To cure these Ills, the wom en wore rallied to go in and elect a complete, set of city officials. They I did so.
