ROSEBURG. OREGON. FRIDAY. APRIL 19, 19?9.
WHEN A MISTAKE IS COSTLY
npll!-; mistakes that most men make in the course of their
1 daily work are things that can be remedied in a short
time. litit there are a few businesses in which a mistake is
apt to In' frightfully expensive; and the business of building
bridges is one of them.
A tfijfiintie suspension 'bridge is being built across the
IV. ")it river. ' The cables had been swung and about a third
of the floor hail been laid. Then it was discovered that the
wires that made up the great cables were somehow defec
tive. Someone manufacturer, engineer or contractor, we
don't know who had made a little mistake. And there was
nothing to do but take them down and start over.
That is costing the erectors just $1,500,000. There are
some trades in which mistakes are pretty costly.
o
" BUILT BY TIIK RIVER
It has been a long time since the government has had
any unoccupied public land as far cast as the Mississippi
river. The other day, however, the general land office an
nounced that it had thrown open to homesteaders tracts of
land in Louisiana and Mississippi and that it was ready to
receive claims for them.
This land, it should b eexplained, did not exist when
the great rush for homesteaders' land was on years ago.
The Mississippi river has built it. Rich, black loam, car
ried down the river by scores of tons, has been deposited in
what may be made good farm laud.
The Mississippi brings floods and devastation, occa
sionally. But, less spectacularly, it is also engaged in con
structive work. This new land, now about to be made pro
ductive, is an example.
o
In Portland, service stations are selling gasoline var
iously at 1(, 161, 17, 18 and 1!) cents a gallon. It is ruinous
competition, but the station men seem unable to get together
on a fair price and then slick to it. Just what part the
oil companies are playing in the present phases of the cut
price ware does not appear, but it was over-production that
started it. Now nobody seems to know how to stop it. The
public, meanwhile, reaps a transitory profit. It is a situa
tion that cannot last.

;' , Somebody said the other day that spring is the most
disappointing period of the year from a weather stand
point. And that is true, not because we have no fine weather
in spring, but because we are too much prone to look for
continuous fine weather at this season. Intermittent rains
and cold are normal for spring, but our natural longings for
steady relief l'pom the conditions of the long winter make us
fretful of normalcy.
POEM FOR THE DAY
By LOUIS ALBERT HANKS
A ri'iuliT asks; Whiil ia a four
flusher? A fourfliiHlicr, in common par
lance, 1h a bluffer, a braggart or
cheat. The term originated in the
popular American diversion known
an poker. In poker a flusli consists
of five cards of one mill. If a play
er lioldH four enrds of one suit and
one card of another suit he lias a
four flush, kIho called a bobtail
flush. Sometimes a player with a
four flusli pretends to have a full
flush and attempts to drive out an
opponent hy betting heavy. This
practice Is perfectly lfnltitnate In
poker, but such a play Is known as
four, lush I tiK- If tie succeeds, the
other players never know what
cards lie held; If he Is cstlled ,he
must show his curds and hifl bluff
is exposed. --
"How many miles can you ko on
a gallon of hh?"
"It depends," answered Mr. Crug
fc'ins, "on l bo I ru f tic cup."
"To avoid trouble and insure
safely, breathe ibtounb your nose,"
stales a doctor. Yea, it keeps the
mouth shut.
A WORKED OUT VEIN
The Associated Press lias tin's dispatch from Denver:
"Who wants n railroad? The Colorado & Southern rail
road is ea'cr to make a ift of a $3, 000, 01)0 branch line, with
mtfficient rolling stock for adequate operation, to any person or
persons who will take it and run it,
; " The I 75 -mile line runs from Denver to the old boom-day
mining town of Leadville, which nestles some 10.000 feet above
sea level in the heart of the Rockies.
The Oregon Journal comments on it as follows:
"A full half billion dollars in precious metals was dug out
of the mountain sides about Leadville in those wild days of the
0s and 'oOs. It was there that the Cuggenheims, the Letters,
the Tabors and others dug out their fortunes and then went
away and left the old town high and dry.
' "And while miners here and there still dig out a modicum
of metal, the Leadville Chamber of Commerce, as the town's
greatest asset and chief lure, advertises its mountain beauty and
its scenic charm."
I saw this wondiotis mining town
While it still wore its golden ciown;
With wealth in millions, wild, galore
To be "exhausted nevermore".
So boasted Leadville in her pride,
Lxultmg in her reckless stride.
I otlay her mines have dwindled out.
And only nature's left to shout.
How like some men this mining shell
Which has such wondrous tales to tell!
It had its sioie of virgin gold
Which God had given men to hold;
They simply do;.; what Cud had given,
Lxhausting His tree gilt from heaven;
And when that virgin vein was gone,
They'd nothing h tt to carry on.
How many men with genrtous brain
Neglect their faculties lo liain!
1 hey revel in their native fotce;
When that is spent they've no lesoutce.
Hoth towns and men are much the same;
They should with wisdom play the game,
Should on the future cast then eyes.
And for its needs lay in supplies.
In vain arc all the gifts of God
Unless we till our native sod.
So use the capital in hand
To build a future that will stand.
So use God's gift of natural wealth
Io gunianter continued health;
Thus count God's gift as but the seed
Which will our future harvests breed.
Many a man who refused to take
"No" for an answer is writing
checks fur alimony.
When women no around expos
ing their legs In zero weather,
there should at least he some law
covering the subject.
Fruit cocktails are
delicious and ood to serve
EVERY time you serve a fruit cocktail, you bring
enjoyment and health to your table. Every time
you cut up, say a grapefruit, some pineapple, an orange,
a banana sprinkle it all with powdered or confectioner's
sugar, and let it stand a little yon make that cocktail
so delicious that it can mean even more to health.
The sugar dissolves and blends the flavors of the fruits.
It is this blending power of sugar that families rely on
so much. Sugar adds to the enjoyment of combinations
of the health-foods. Then a sprinkling of sugar accents
the flavor of a single health-food . . . accents the flavor
of strawberries, for example . . . sharpens up the flavor of
peas when they cook.
Two fruits, two vegetables, are the daily rule. Use these
two powers of sugar to give zest to their flavors to
make them more inviting. The best cooks are generous
with sugar. The Sugar Institute.
