ARTIFICIAL A Berlin scientist has invented a means for making artificial starlight. The mystic glow of other worlds that blankets the earth on a cloudless summer night now can be made to shine in the corner of an unromantic laboratory. This business of doing nature's work for her seems to bo pro gressing beyond all reason; "out perhaps a complex civiliza tion' makes it necessary. Many city dwellers never see the stars on account of the factory smoke. For such people arti ficial starlight is mora or less a necessity. For starlight, an insubstantial commodity in many ways, is one of those things which are essential to our well-being. The hard glare of the noonday sun is a light for realists. At night, when the sun is gone and the stars transmute familiar landscapes into enchanted glades and haunted fields, the world lakes on a different aspect. The romancer can carry on his trade by starlight; and men who cannot live by bread alone can not get along without romance. This is especially true to day. There never was a timo when the material facts of existence crowded so closely about men. By daytime the twentieth century civilization has many discouraging as pects. It is at night that we can see it in its proper perspec tive and judge it aright. Not long ago a young man had oc casion to visit Detroit, where he spent two days going through seme of that city's vast automobile factories. The experience was acutely depressing. The endless lines of whirring machines, each unit tended by a man whose func tion it was to become as much like a machine himself as possible, stood out like an impressionistic sketch of the whole of modern life. It seemed as if all human endeavor were being reduced to the level of the automatic steel contrivance.! that chattered endlessly in the great factories. What hope was there that the men who served such monsters could ever realize thoir divine potentialities? None. The prophets of disillusion were right. Man was a machine. But, late at flight; when the young man boarded a steamer to continue his journey, things looked different. The ship swung away from its pier and dropped down the black tide of the Detroit river, and the stars came out. The shapes of the factories tond warehouses on the bank grew indistinct. Detroit's sky line loomed hugely against the horizon; but it was no longer stai'k and forbidding. Under the starts its office buildings became soaring turrets and spires, and the glare of their in candescents was dimmed in the reflection of light from, uni verses, far across the black sky. Detroit was no longer :i mechanistic symbol of disillusion. It could be seen for what it Really was; the temporary dwelling of many thousands of immortal men, striving in a new way to remake the world into a closer ianage of the place they call home. ". o . Referring to a recent editorial in the News-Review, re garding the request of the Sportsmen's club for a patrol of tho.Umpqua river to curb salmon poaching and river piracy generally, the Oregon City Enterprise says: We point feelingly to the distress of our southern Oregon neighbor, and might recommend the purchase and equipment of a political battleship to cruise Umpqua. It is apparent that of long standing but that the neck of the woods we have become so accustomed to the dis- ! ciples of CapUiin Cook and Dick Deadeye that we know them by their first names. Their operations have covered a long period of years and they have been able to hurl defiance at the politically (ninded game commission, whose hired men are kept fairly busy digging up evidence to get thoir brother : 'wardens in a jack-pot. There are a few capable game war dens. One of them bears the pfeasing and suitable name of Fish, and ho is a clever and energetic official. After he has finished the job of cleaning up the Clackamas and nil the poachers and pirates are safe In' jail, he could bo spared and transferred to the Unipqun to show his prowess. But for the present ho is needed for local protection and the Umpqua must have patience. o Quito welcome is the announcement that Rosebui'g is to have cheaper gas for cooking purposes, thanks to the ap proval by the Public Service commission of the application of the Southern Oregon Gas corporation for permission to lower its rates. Since it acted on its own initiative, thanks are also due the corporation. Effective June 11, the mini mum rr.t-3 on the cooking schedule, formerly $1.50, is $1.00 monthly for consumption of gas up to ,'iOO cubic feet. On the next 1,700 cubic feet there is also a reduction at the rale of ten cents per thousand. Reductions of this sort are ap preciated by the public, the more because they are granted without the necessity of clamor, and they serve to great extent to displace much undue prejudice against beneficial corporations with a spirit of friendliness and a willingness to patronize. And let it bo borne in mind that cheaper gas for domestic use is a mighty good selling point for city advancement.

He also said that he saw Burnett nt the hospital and that he could smell liquor on his breath. Adjournment Taken With the exception of Burnett there were no other witnesses to be examined before the coroner's jury and ro an adjournment was taken until his condition improves sufficiently to permit him to be questioned. t He was1 reported today to be somewhat improved, although he is still cuffering a great deal. He Is fully conscious, but because of his. weakened and nervous condi tion tho physicians advised against subjecting him to an examination at this time. Due to this fact Coroner Ritter ordered an adjournment until such a tfmo as It will be safe to ob tain a statement from the Injured young man, arter which the jury will preparo Its vordiet. The inquest yesterday was held at the circuit court room in the court houso and was attended by a large crowd. From Fair Oaks John Abeene of Fair Onks was a Itoseburg visitor on business Tuesday afternoon. t BALL SCORES IN MAJOR LEAGUES J Subjected to one of the heaviest cannonadings of the current sea son, mnjor league moundsmen cautiously peered from their hide outs today to see whether the bombardment was over. 'Klgbt big league battles saw 31 pitchers pounded for 133 hits on which 108 runs were scored. Sixty of the hits were for extra bases 1!3 doubles, 1 1 triples an J Itl home runs. The heaviest shelling of the day was In the Philadelphia sector of the National league. Here the Pittsburgh Pirates cracked out :!) hits to heat the Phils, 15 to 4. Kremer, n sad disappointment this season, returned to form and gave the Quakers only five safeties, two ot tin ni, however, home run. Behind Benton's steady pitching the New York (Hants baited out Jii hits lo eruf-h the league lead ing Cincinnati Reds, In to 1. i lie St. Louts cards moved to wiihiti one game of the Reds hy taking over the Knives at Bojton !) to (i, in a w iid game.

' STOQT & ttAl The TInles slid for. oh, so Ions, and Coppy aald. "There's some lllinir wrtnlK. Tills ehules must huve an end some place. I wonder whoro It is. We've traveled for a long, lonK ways. Supposing this keeps up for days. We nil will grow real dizzy, judging from tho way we whiz!" "Oh. what's tho difference? This is fun," said Scouty, "I'm the only one who hasn't, been-. com plaining. We will surely land some place. That flying man was surely kind, und II wo wait I know we'll' find that we'll be paid real well for going on this crazy race." And so the hunch kept still a while. They slid along, mile afler mile. The chutes would rise up in the air, und then head down again. Kach time they'd bound up o'er a peak, the Tlnyniltes would loudly shriek. They had a chance to catch their breath at straight spots, now and then. All of the TInles Bcemcd f know their houHehoat had been r' .1 be low the plalform that they il -rted from. Wee Harpy shuuted, "i... 1 wish you all would pleasu take note we will never find our boat. Instead of going near it, we are sliding far away." "Ou. no we're not," wee Scouty said, " 'cause I can see it Just ahead. We're going 'round In cir cles and some goodluck's due to come. This chute leads right down to tiur craft." This pleased the bunch, and they all laughed. The elide had brought 111 em right buck lo the place they 'stalled from. Just then fat downy left the slide and landed on the bot. Ho cried, "Come on there, all you Tinies!" And Hie Tinynntes ail roired, "Out of the way! We're coming fast." And they all landed, safe, at last. Then Scouty cried, , After the Missions had broken a 2-2 deadlock by scoring twice In the tenth, Oakland came back in sensational fashion in the last half of the frame to score three runs and win, 5-4. Both Pllietie and Dumovlch, afler pitching tight ball for nine Innings, weakened, but the Bell hurler blew up entirely, five hits being made ofr him in the final Btnnza.
