' 1 . 1 .. There seems to bo a growing senti ment among the municipalities of the state to enforce and enact stringent laws to prevent the .sale of ttfbacco to minors. Pnnevlllo Is among the latest cities to pass strict municipal laws governing the sale. Those who are keeping In touch with the boys and young men of the present generation are gratified to note the great decline In the use of tobacco among the youth. There seems to be an erroneous Idea abroad among the voters to the effect that the voting of the bonds for a new high school building means higher trades than are now taught. The st)it' law make no provision higher than . the 12th grade. which has been taught In the 1m Grande public schools for several years.' Portland has found out how ineon rcntent It la to have a telephone sys tem wrecked. Fourteen thousand phones out or commission without warning demoralised thlnss until the readjustment took place. 1 1 Band concerts would certainly be In keeping with this splendid weather. We havo fine weather, a fine band, why not the open air concerts? This will undoubtedly be considered In the near future. - It looks good to see every few mornings three or four empty passen ger coaches bound for the east. This means that th etravel to the const Is much greater, which means the north west is absorbing a largo population. The dav of the land grabber Is fml tng away. Scarcely a federal grand Jury meets without Indicting several of the large stockmen who defiantly fence In the public domain to the ex clusion of other gnftvers. Grants Pass Is somewhat worked up mer the action of the city rouncil In attempting to enac t an occupation tux. . SEVERAL PROMOTIONS SOON TWO IWssr.NUl.K -COXS" AM) SKVi:iUl. M'.W KMilXKJJtS.

In tliw engineer's department there are several who will be entitled, but may not take the Jobs. Engineer Hanson, Prank Jackson and Pete Plo ver are all In lino, but two of them at least have often refused similar po sitions before and muy not take this main line run.

Xo definite news as to when the trains will go on Is available, but judg ing from the regular preparations taken by ' the company. It Is safe to say that the time originally set will be adhered to. YIANACOPULOS A CITIZEN GRI'KKS TAKE OUT .PAPERS TO AVOID MILITARY DUTY. Ilex-onuw ApiMirrnt Today Why so Many Greeks. Have Taken Out Nat uralization PaMrs Kneently Cat is Ix-t Out of Dag by Young I-VI low Tills Morning. The reason why several Greeks have thrown off allegiance to King George I and applied for naturalization pa pers in Union county has only today become apparent, when Nicholas Yla naeopulos applied for such papers. YuunKHlreeks leave their native land before they are 18 years of age, and by applying for naturalization papers and going through the process of be coming citizens of Uncle Sam, they dodge danger of being arrested and sent back to their native land to do military duty. The reason for ho many Greeks taking out naturalization pa pers In Union county has always been a study topic for- those who watch the trend of affairs In the clerk's of fice. Today this man with the long name correctly spelled above, let the cut'out of the bag. OLD ACC A final account In the estate of Wil liam Hutchinson, deceased, by J. H. Hutchinson, was filed today after hav ing dragged along since 1893, when letters of administration were issued.

It Is seldom that administrators have 'this long a duty with one estate. The W. II. M. . S. of the M.
