LKAHN TO SWIM
T'
'IIE DoiiKlas County chapler of thu American lied Cross
has completed arninifemenls for its annual swimming
school in Uosebnru. It is a simjilo fact, hut perfectly true,
that when everyone learns to swim, there will he very very
few deaths from drowning. Naturally, the time will never
come when we nil know how to swim hut every parent who
fails to give his child an opportunity to learn to swim un
der competent instruction is deliberately endangering his
child's life, "lint," you say, "1 never allow our children near
the-water." That is a blind statement. In the summer time
it is practically impossible to keep youngsters away from the
Cool streams, in they plunge, whether you know it or not,
and if they are right lucky (and most of them are) they
learn to swim by main strength and awkwardness. When
you learn of it you are shocked but the lad proudly has you
accompany him to the "swimmin' hole", you see him swim
and you are proud. That, then, is another step in his up
bringing that is safely passed and you heave a sight of
relief.
! How foolish, how almost criminally careless, is that
method, iiecognizing these facts the Douglas county chapter
of the lied Cross is bringing to Itoseburg this year one of
the greatest swimming instructors in the United States.
George Jlughling, swimming instructor from the University
of California will conduct the Itoseburg swimming school
which will start July first. Kvery person in the county over
the age of six years is entitled to enroll for this course. It
is i roe of charge. Enrollment may be made with Dr. II. C.
Church, secretary of the Red Cross. Fifteen have already
signed up.
o
The Douglas county Junior League baseball team goes
to Medford. Saturday to play the Med ford team for the
championship of Southern Oregon. If our team wins this
gairtio it will then compete with other district winners for
the state championship. If it wins the state title it will he
entitled to play other Pacific Coast slate winners for the
zone championship. The winner of the 1'aciHc coast division
will, play oilier division winners ifoi-:; the National Junior
League championship in Chicago. This is the greatest, clein
est baseball competition in the country. Our county has a
teani of youthful baseball players that is judged by the local
fans to he a nearly perfect baseball aggregation. This team
might conceivably reach the top. Junior League baseball is
sponsored by the American Legion with the aid of the Major
league management. This is wonderful sport for our boys
and, win or lose, we are mighty proud of that team.

POEM FOR THE DAY
By LOUIS ALBERT BANKS
GIVE OTHERS A CHANCE
This dispatch, currying o'ur thoughts back to tfte "days of
49." comes Irtim Gold llcach, Oregon:
"New reports of strikes of rich gold and silver ore in the
Mule Creek district, miles up the Kogim river from Gold
Beach, have been received here from authentic sources.
"1 here is said to he no doubt thrit the hardy prospectors
who have been working in the district for the past year or two
have uncovered a great body of ore. Values shown by reports
of assays range from a few clollais a Ion to as high as $4')o2.
" I he find is located on the .west fork of Mule Creek, a dis
trict which is isolated from the outside world, and the only com
munication is by the roughest mountain trail. There are a mere
handlul ot prospectors at the district, but every one of them, in
cluding two women, have staked all the claims they can handle
and they say there is plenty of good pay rock for others.
"I he prospectors in ihe tlistnct are not speculators, but
they arc of the hardy type of miner and thoroughly reliable.
II aviug what they want themselves, they are asking their friends
to come and help themselves.
" It takes two days to gel into the district from Gold Beach
and an equal length of time from Grants I 'ass."

that the council lu milking such

an!l that they will damagu the cred

an extensive program of street im

"The' city eiiglneur estimates that
there are 522 square yards ot pave

be resurfaced at once, and two or
three more blocks before the com
ing winter. This ill our Judgment
wul reipiiru an expenditure of
about ten thousand dollavs where

So they all thought and thought.
Bur the only thing they could think

The two then put aside their
weapons, kneeled down beside
Smith and bound his wound with
their handkerchiefs.
Then they fled. They obtained no
