ROSEBURG, OREGON,
BriLDlNG ACTIVITIES AND PROSPECTS
Although building records were not broken in Raseburjj
in 1928, the showing made was satisfactory. The value of
total permits for the period, $:9,165, was the highest since
the banner year, 19-5, as shown by compilation and compari
sons published in today's issue of the News-Review. Top
ping individual items was the new county court house, now
in course of construction and involving an outlay of $275,
000, about one half of which sum has been carried over for
disbursement during the newly begun year. Another carry
over from n 1928 permit is represented in the item lor the
projected medical arts building, calling for an expenditure of
$90,000. These disbursements will give the city an auspi
cious start for 1929 in the matter of labor employment and
money circulation outside of ordinary activities and related
expenditures. While it is entirely too early to forecast any
thing approaching a complete building program for the new
year, we are assured, in addition to projects already men
tioned, of local improvement by the Pacific States Tele
phone company calling for an outlay of $12,500, and, further,
we are justified in expecting a supreme court decision that
will release $25,000 for the proposed municipal airport,
completion of which will absorb $1 1,000. Other construction
work during the year will naturally depend on general busi
ness conditions and these should be good if the city goes after
its share of that prosperity which is being forecast for the
entire country by the highest authorities in all classes of in
dustry. Municipal initiative will count for a great deal. This
will find its strongest expression in the work of the Cham
ber of Commerce, whose forthcoming program of promotion
for the year is awaited with interest. One of the outstand
ing needs of the city is that long-promised natatorium for
summer bnlhing since the river has been pronounced unfit
for such sport. Then there is the greatest of all our needs :
completion of the North Umpo.ua highway to Diamond lake.
Whether the end of 1929 will find us still longing for a fin
ished road without favorable prospects or elated at progress
that assures fruition of the great project depends entirely
upon our os'n efforts. As pointed out before, we muh.t
first do something to help ourselves in order to justify out
side assistance. It would be unfair to assert that we aro
not trying to help ourselves, but we are still far fromj the
goal that beckons us. It is a case where money alone will
talk. If we vote tax money to bear our share of the cost of
completing the road, we shall undoubtedly receive state or
. federal aid, perhaps both, On the other hand, if we show
reluctance to put up money of our own, we might as well
abandon all hope of outside help and relapse into a slate of
complacency while other cities continue to reap the profits
in which we might share.

SAVING UIK UAlilKS
The I'nited Slates is continuing in the good work of
cutting down its infant mortality rate, according to Miss
Grace Abbott, chief o!" t.ie children's bureau of the l!. S. de
partment of labor. The rate last year (55 infant deaths per
1000 live births was the lowest in the country's history.
Lest wo relax our efforts, however, Miss Abbott points out
that no state in the Union has yet succeeded in getting the
rate as low as Now Zealand, where it is only "9 per 1000.
The best word is held by Oregon, with a rale of .18. Idaho
and Washington are tied for second with 50, and Nebraska,
Minnesota, I'tah, Pva, Kansas, New York, Wisconsin, In
diana and Connecticut follow in the order named. The low
ering of Ihe rate Miss Abbott reports, is "unquestionably as
sociated with the general improvement in public health,
the establishment of child health conferences, the develop
ment of prenatal clinics, the distribution of literature and
public education."

THE PASSING
, To die very ynuns tl,c y-ars seen very lonK. It seems nn
i almost intcrm.nnble time from one New Year day until the next
, but as we prow older they slip by ever more tapidly. It ia well to
j count them as milestones and undertake to make each year more
J profitable in service and experience than the last.
The years go by on slippered feet
i Each year more swiftly, strangely fleet;
Iheyjre like a queer uncanny dream
I They're like a swiftly flowing stream,
j And never once for any cause .
Dorr, current hraitnte or pause;
j No nioital man can call a halt
j Or stop it onwaid swift saonult.
ll life is tmpl;, years seem slow
I Indeed, l.'iey hardly rerm lo co.
I l"' when they're full of service deeds
j 1 h.U ii to help our neighbor's needs.
i They're like a modern aeroplane
That leaves the sky without a stain
ou look and wo:n!c-r where 'tis o:ie
But find yourself still farther on.
'Tis Rood. I'm sure, to count lliem miles
And seek to fill them with our smiles;
1 is Rood to watch each single year
And hold ourselves to prow in cheer.
L nfurl each year our new ideal
And do our be'tt to make it real
Although we do not yrt attain. '
LSy Ciod'a dear help, we'll make some Rain.
If w.-? our hive will flini; broadcast.
Each year gtnw brighter than U'.e l.i it ;
And if wj uive our souls a chance.
1 he yrar n fuller tf romance.
Our life seem? more a wondrous ft..r;
To hflprs bles the woild and lift
Cur neighbors into sweeter air.
And gather honey with them the
(.i.d itive us rrace thio u'aa New Year
lo fill our neighbor's henrt with cheer
That days that come and days that leave
May gracious niemonc round us weave;
Thai we may K'ive helpful arm
To lend to other live., a charm;
That alt may foci in us a trac
Of heaven love and ihte:in v-tat.c.

I Another snapped, "Oh, let's not

I All of a sudden Coppy c.1cd,

''We can't s'op ' now," brave
Carpy cried. "All we can do la

The train turned almost on Its
