It decided to drive tue.tunnel llxelf. It did bo. The conf: was three' million dollars. Critics' have sugno.sted Hint Mils was bad business. '. This Is one of many examples why the Kovernment cannot do business as cheaply or as well as private enterprise. It Is not con tended that government Is less ef ficient than private business. It Is merely shown that there are fun damental reasons why Kovernment operation Is necessarily more cost ly than private operation. In building by day .labor, the government doubtless .faces a greater handicap than would the private concern. The absence of the yardstick profits leads to a nnWB' leisurely spirit. The civil service guarantees security of em ployment. When the work' slack ens and men can be spared they are tint laid off as readily as in private employ. Tusks are brought to a conclusion slowly. Tlicy are likely to go on three or four times as long as contract jobs. A striking example was Wilson dam at Muscle Hhonls, lb Ala bama. The army eiiKineuis esti mated that It could be built rot ten million dollars and a contract doubt k'a could have been lot at that figure. -The '.government de cided to do the work Itself, five yearj uxo 40 million dollar's had Veeit spent nnd the job was not ret Completed. Oregon Editors' - Opinions Small Payrolls A lit, too often oul' attention is centered only on that, business or Industry that has a large pay roll of several thousand dollars per week. -We are tempted to look with disdain on the smull business that .employs live, ten or twenty people,' paying out from f 100 to y 1 000 per week. Did you ever look at It from the angle that ten businesses with twenty workers each are juat us important as one large Industry employing two hundred men? T;i!ntJ' business houses with ten enyjloyes contribute jusl as much to -the industrial prosperity of a city as two concerns with one hun dred workers each. The largo industries are fine, and everything should be done to utrraot and hold such enterprises, but In the slmngle lor prosperity letls not forget the little fellow.

COPELAND HPOO MANY of us disobey the rules of right living through Ignorance. If more persona un dorstood why they feel miserable, why poor health pursues them, they would chage their methods of living. A common cause for ill health begins in the mouth. I should like to explain the process of chewing Ihe food so that you can see Its important bearing on digestion. The average .capacity of the stomach is about five pints. Food , Is not. properly prepared for the stomach until It Is chewed and thoroughly mixed with the saliva. In (lie process, r great deal of saliva or "spittle" Is reiiuired. Per haps you will he astonished when I tell you that the glands of the mouth supply an amount of saliva equal to the capacily of the stom ach, five pints, During the entire twenty-four hours (his liquid pours Into the mouth and ultimately reaches the stomach. The salivary fluid Is more than !J1 per cent water, while one-halt of one per cent consists of solids. Among these aolids are substances known as "enzymes." Their full function Is not fully known, but the enzymes of the saliva have the power to produce chemical changes In rood taken Into the mouth. The body cannot handle starch. It is loo complicated a compound t o be a hsorbed. Pefore t he food or starch ran be digested it must he changed into rucar. To make I his chance the enzymes are given us by nature. Our roods, such as fruit t. veg etables and cereals, all consist Intgviy of starch, as do potatoes, bread, beans, peas and many of the common foods. Some oT the grains of starch are packed a'.vay In firm envelopes of fibrous material. Probably one-half the things we eat are made up of starch. Our strong teeth u rind and r-ti the food up fine. At the same time Ihe saliva pours Into the month, and with the chewing mo tlon of (he jaws it Is thoroughly mixer! with t he food. Y on c n see why It is necessary not to bolt the food. Yon will notice that as you chew, the food begins t o taste sweet. That Is because the starches have b t transformed into sugar. On swallowing the marts It passes In to the stomach, where the sali va iv enzymes of the stomach po i vork Then, "hatever starch is le!t. iu taken up by the thuds of the organ known as the pan creas, or "sweetbread." Hut the more carefully you chew your food OF COURSE.

Thousands ' of persons suffer from indigestion because they bolt their food without proper chewing. We all need the coarser foods of generations ago in order that we may use our jaws more vigorously. If you have this bad habit of eating hurriedly and not chewing your food thoroughly change your habit. Eat slowly and be free i.om the 'miseries of indigestion a.U poor health.

This is not only true of the North Cmpqua, where work oil the proposed highway will soon be un der construction through rock gorges and over the Fish creek plaleau lino the famous 'Diamond lake section, connecting with the "skyline road" to Crater lake, but It is also a fact as to the country north and west of this city through which the matchless Cmpqua rolls on Us way to the sea. A recent trip down the Vmpqua by this writer gave glimpses all along the splendid road t he farmers and stockmen of that part of Douglas county have built for themselves, of this marvelous beauty spot. It is not only a beauty spot, but the peo ple down that way are privileged to live In n prosperous section, and although far lemoved from even an echo of the locomotive whistle or the gaily lighted theatres of city life, have other attractions t hat more than compensate the ranch folUs for many of the "ad vantages" of the populous centers. Advantages Seen This road down the Cmpqua to Tyee, Kellogg. Elkton. Scottshurg and lower river points, while it Is something like a dozen miles fur ther than by way of Dodge canyon, has 80 many advantages over the latter route that the extra dls-1 tancH is nullified. Of course, if j business of residents of the low. , er rtver requires tneir presence ni noithern points In the county, go ing by way of Oakland or Drain would expedite the trip, tiood roads lead to all these plaes, and per sons can choose their nearest routes. Put for Itoaebuvgers go-i tug to Keedsport or Oardiner, ori to Intervening points like Elkton or j Scoitsburg. the river road all the: way is a most desirable route. j Charming Vista Lures Not only are scenic beaut ies j abounding all the way. the river in sight for almost endless miles, the mad being well graveled, with en tire absence of hills, it being a wa-j tec grade, the giaudeiif ot the i niouutaUiti through which chain the L'mpqua swirls ami rushes along I at times, and again rests in quiet By Geo.

BROKEN-HEARTED WIFE. BROKEN-HEARTED WIFE: Is it possible that your quarrels are engendered by foolish trifles that are of no importance, but become monumental in argument? Think bai'k on the various causes of your disagreements and then see if It is not possible to adjust, your mentali ties. To bear and to forbear are the two fundamental luies for a liflppy marriage and both must be practiced. You thought enough;bi each other to get married, now see if you don't think enough of each other to make that marriage a suc cess. You are both young, with your lives before you. Make it worthwhile and see if you cannot refrain from quarrels and argu ments unless there Is serious rea son for dispute, in that case the difficulty can be often easily ad justed when the disagreement Is on nebulous issues. repose is inspirational; but folks living tiro re ure a clever, cordial lot, doing their bit unstintedly in every day affairs that go to make life for all worth living.

BRIDE' By BEN AMES WILLIAMS CHAPTER XXXVIII The men could not come at the stores through the cabin, there was always an officer about the deck or below. Tichel thought hey might have eut through from the after 'tween-decks, and the stores were shifted in an effort to find such a secret entrance to the captain's stores. But none was found, there was no way. Three days later there was whiskey forward again found, as before, in a bunk. Two men drunk, rope's-endings. at the rail but no solution to the mystery. Two days after that, the same thing; four days later, a repetion. And so on, at intervals of days. for a month on end. The whiskey dribbled forward a quart at a time, the men drank It, and never a trace to the manner of the theft. In the end, Roy KUcup found a bottle in his bunk and drank the bulk of It himself, so that he was deathly aick and like to die. Faith, tormented beyond endurance, look ing everywhere for help, chose at last to appeal to Brander. Brander had the deck that day. Willis Cox and Tichel Were sleep ing. Dan'l was In the main cabin, alone; Noll in the after caWm stupid v.Jh drink. Roy had been sick all the night before, with Willis Cox and Tichel working over him, counting the pounding heartbeats, wetting the boy s head, working the poison out of him. Hoy was forward in his bunk now, still sodden. Faith came frohi the after cabin, passed Dan'l, and went np on deck. Something purposeful in her face caught Dani's attention, and he went to the foot of the cabin com panion and listened. He heard her call softly:. - "Mr. Brander!" Dan-'l thought he knew 'where Brander would be in the waist of the Sally, no doubt. There was a man at the wheel, and Faith did not wish him to hear what she said. She met Brander forward of the cabin skylight, by ,the boat house; and Dan'l, straining his ears, could hear. "Mr. Brander, I'm going to ask you to help me," Faith said. "I'd like to." Brander told her. "What is it you want done?" "It's Roy I'm desperately wor ried; Ml-. Brander. , "He's all right, Mr. Cox tells me. He'll be well enough in a few hours." . "It's not Just tlifs drunkenness, Mr. Brander. It's more. He is in my charge, in a way. Father bade me take care oC him.; And he's taking the wrong path." "Yes," Brander said quietly. Dani looked toward the, utter caliin, thought-of bringing Noll to heir;,But there was no harm .in this' .'that, they were saying; ' . no. harnWralher, -good. He listened. "My husband- is not not the man he was, Mr. Brander," Faith said steadily. 'And Mr. Tohey I can t trust him.- I've got to come to you." Dani decided at that, to bring Noll and risk it, trust to his luck and to his tongue to twist their words. He went soTtly across to the after cabin and shook Noll's shoulder: and when the captain opened his eyes, Dan'l whispered: 'Come, Noll Wing! You've got to hear this." Noll sat up stupidly. "What? What's that you say?" "Faith and Brander are together on deck, whispering," Dani said. He banged his clenched fist into ins open hand. 'I've grown up with Faith; I like lier, but 1 can't stand by and see them do this to you!" "What ure they about?" Noll asked, his face flushing. He -was on hia feet. Dani gripped his arm. "I heard her promise him you would soon be gone, sir. That you were Bick. That you " Noll strode Into the cabin. "Quiet!" Dan'l whispered. "Come!" tie led him to the foot of the companion stairs, bade him listen. And the malicious gods played in to Dani's evil hands, for as they listened, Faith was saying: 'Try to make htm like you. But be careful. He doesn't know. It he guessed " llrauder said something which they could not hear a single word, and 1-atth cried: "You can. Your'e a man. He can't help admiring you in the end, I " She hesitated, said Helpless ly: "I'm putting myself into your hands Dani had wit to seize his for une. "There, sir!" lie cried out. But thtjre.was .uo need of spur to Noll Wing now. The captain had reached the deck Svith a single ush. Dani was nt his heels. Faith and Brander sprang apart before their eyes, and because Hie inno cent have always the appearance of the guilty there was guilt In every line of these two. Noll Wing, confronting them, had in that moment the stature of a man, he was erect and strong. his eyes were level and cold. He looked from Faith to Brander. "Brander, be gone," hit said. Faith come below." Brander took a step toward Noll. Faiih said quickly to him: - "No!" And she smiled at him as he halted in obedience. Then she turned to her husband. passed him. went down into the ubin, and Noll, with a last glance at Brander, descended on her heels. Dani facing the fourth mate, grinned triumphantly, but for an instant he snw death in Brander's eye?, so that his mirth was frozen. Thfti Brainier turned awav. Faith went down into the -cabin j to await her husbairtl. He followed , her slowly. He onne in nnd shut! Mi dror behind . Win. The man ; coulH'ihn li'uirif-lf. Neiilie-; le.s, he thrust the door idmt with; a force that shook the thin parti tion between the cabins. And he saapped the bolt that held It Ciosed. Then he turned and looked at Faun. There was a iurious strength in his countenance at that moment; but it was like the strength of a maniac. Hia lips twitcned tensely; his eyes moveu like the eyes of a man who is dizzy from too much turning on his own heel. They jerked away from Faith, returned to her, jerked away again all without any move ment of Noll's head. And as the man's eyes wavered and wrenched back to her thus,, the pupils con tracted and narrowed in an effort lo focus upon her. For the rest, he was flushed, brick-red. His whole face seemed to swell. He waa inhuman; there was an apelike and animal fury in the man as he looked at his wife. Abruptly, he jerked up his hands and pressed them against his face and turned away; It was as if he thrust himself away with this pres sure of hia hands. He turned his back on her, went to his desk, and unlocked u drawer. Faith knew the drawer; she was not surprised when he drew out of It a revolver. Bending over the desk, with this weapon in his "hand, Noll Wing made sure every chamber was loaded. He paid her no attention. Faith watched him Tor an in stant; then she turned to the uench that ran across tiie stern and picked up from it a bit of sew ing embroidery. She sat down composedly on the bench, crossed her knees in the comfortable atti tude of relaxation which women like to assume. One foot rested on the floor; the other swayed back and forth, as if beating time, a few inches above the floor. Sitting thus, Faith began to sew. She was outlining the petal of an embroidered flower, and she gave this work her whole attention. She did not look up at Noll. The man finished his examina tion of tho weapon; he tur.owd It in his hand; he litied it and lev eled it at Faith. Still Faith did not look up; she seemed unconcerned. "Faith!" Noll said harshly. She looked up then, met his eyes fairly, smiled a little. "What is It, Noll?" "I'm going to kill you," he said with Htil'f lips. "All right,"' she said quickly, and bent her head above her sewing once more, disregarding him. Noll was stupefied. This was no surprise; it was the helpless ness which courage inspires in a toward. For Noll was a coward In those last days. His face twisted; his hand was shaking. He stared over the revolver barrel at Faith's orown head. j Her hair was parted In the 'mid -dle, drawn back about her face. The white line of skin where the Hair was parted fascinated him; le could not take his eyes from it. The revolver muzzle lowered with out his being conscious of this fact; the weapon hung in his hand. His eyes were still fixed on Faith's head, on the part in her hair. She wore an old, tortoise! jomb, stuck downward Into the 1 hair at the back of her head, its top projecting upward a singular,! old-fashioned little ornament. 1 There was a silver mounting on it; and the light glistened on this silver, and caught Noll's eye, and held it. Faith continued her quiet sew ing. Noll's tense muscles, little bv little, relaxed. His fingers, looked i their grip on the revolver butt;" it dropped to the floor with a chat ter. The sound seemed to rouse . Noll; he strode toward Faith. i "By Jupiter!" he cried. You'll" He swung down a hand and gathered the fabric of her worK between harsh fingers. Her needle was in the midst of a stitch; it pricked him. He did not feel the j tiny wound. He would have snatch ed the stuff out of her handB. He Green Prunes Wanted!

But when his hand swept down between hers and caught the bit : of embroidery. Faith looked up at him again, and she caught his -eye. That halted him; he stood jor ; an Instant motionless bending, n above her, their faces not six Inches apart; - , Then the man jerked his hand away. He released his grip on tho bit of fancy work, but the needle was deep in his finger, so that he pulled it out of the cloth. The thread followed it, when his quick movement drew the thread to full length; the fabric was snatched out of Faith's unresisting hands. It dangled by the thread from the needle that stuck In Noll's finger. He saw It, jerked the needle out with a quick, spasmodic gesture, and flung it to one side. He did not look at it; he was looking, still, at Faith. "Put- that away!" he said hoarsely. ' Faith smiled, glanced toward the bit of white upon the floor. "I'm afraid there's blood on it," she said.
