General Foreman Burloy, chairman
of the local O.-W. Safety First Com
mittee, has stated that either the lo
cal or central Safety First Committee
are very desirous to co-operat win
the city authorities, motor clubs, busi
ness men or commercial clubs of the
city in a safety-first campaign. He
says that the greatest loss of life and
limb of railroads is due to trespass
ing on railroad property and to reck
less driving of fcnotorists at crossings.
He cited one incident which occur
red recently on Fir street. A reckless
driver disregarding the signal of the
watchman to stop tried to make the
track in front of a locomotive com-
ine at a good rate, he reached the
middle of the track and he killed his
engine. Only the skilfulness of tho
engineer driving the locomotive saved
his life pnd probably the wreckage
of both cars. Such matters Mr. Bur
ley states should be investigated and
through cooperation of the city and
O.-W the safety of the citizens will
be assured.
The O.-W. R. & N. Co. have one of
the best organized Safety First plans.
Briefly outlined it consists of three
committees, the local shop commit
tee (there are three on the second
division) one at Reith, Huntington and
at La Grande. The division commit
tee consists of a representative from
all departments of tho second divis
ion. It meets at La Grande.
The central committee meets at Al
bina in Portland; every department of
the entire system is represented in
this meeting.
The local shop committee consists of
on man out of each department of the
shops, for instance the car yards are
represented by James Birdsell, the
roundhouse by W. W. Rhine, the ma
chine shops by Barney A. Gillason,
blacksmith shops by Frank Brookler
and the boiler rooms by Jake Beaver.
Charley Andrews represents the en
tire shops as a whole. Foreman Bur-
ley is chairman of the committee nd
Clarence Charboneau secretary.
This committee meets once a month.
Between the first and tenth, reports
of various departments are read over
and communications from the division
and central committees. Accidents of
the previous month are discussed and
suggestions for remedies are made.
The duty of the committee as a whole
is to be continually on tho lookout for
anything that could or would create
an accident or a hazard and new men
are kept tab on. At the meetings each
safety of their department. The men
member makes suggestions for the
serve six months each but upon re
tirement they never go out of service,
and they still have the responsibility
of their former work by cooperating
with the new committee. This new
committee is elected so as to get new
ideas of safety in the campaign. Since
the O.-W. has adopted this system ac
cidents have been reduced from
eighteen per month to six.
Division committees meet between
the first and twentieth of each month
and suggestions or problems from the
shops committees are discussed and
acted on. In the central committee
meetings the entire system is rcpre.
sented.
It is stated that the O.-W. as f
whole would like very much to co.
operate with the city in a safety
first plan so as to insure the com.
plote safety of all pedestrians and
motorists.
COUNTY POOR HOUSES
TO BE COMFORTABLE
New York, April 14. (United
Press) Housing experts are prepar
ing plans to be presented at the Na
tional Conference of Charities and
Correction at Pittsburgh in June
which will make life more liveabla
for destitute old men and women in
county poorhouses all over the coim
trv. The plans will be presented in
competitive form. No other class of
dependents has been so completely
neglected as the aged, according to
the statement of Dr. I. L. Nascher of
New York. "The child dependent has
the world for its guardian; the aged
dependent is disowned by his rela
tives," says this eminent authority,
"There are scores of works dealing
with the child in the home and insti.
tutions. Until recently there was not
a single work on the institutional
care of the aged." Dr. Nascher is the
author of tho only American scientific
work on the subject, a book entitled
"Geriatrics." Today there is scarcely
a home for the aged in which the spe
cial problem of feeding is understood
or even considered. Dietaries are ar
ranged either haphazard, or else cop
ied from institutions of a different
character.

(United Press) A huge flume, 42
feet wide, is being completed hare to.

which are being reconstructed. Be
neath the Hume, which will bo largo

ernment will excavate under the flume

Grain Cleaner
To Be Installed
Orofino, Ida., April 14. (Special)
The Orofino-Rochdule company, of
Orofino, Idaho, is making arrange
ments to install a gruin and bean
cleaner to clean and handle the com
ing crop. A chop mill also will be
piaced in operation and an electric
motor will be installed to operate both
machines. By cleaning all grain going
through the warehouse a large saving
will be made. The screenings will be
chopped for feed.
The company is composed of 3G
farmers, there being six women share
holders. The warehouse is run on the
storage plan, with doors open to all
buyers. Fat stock hogs and cattle Te
shipped by tho company. The members
also make the bulk of their purchases
through the organization, such as
seeks, binding twine, flour, salt, sugar
and oil
thing. '
That's all changed now. Benny has
learned to wait and get the good ones.
And when he connects it means some
thing, for there are few batters in
either big league with tho driving
power that is contained in 'bis stock
frame.
It's partly Ty Cobb's fault that
Bonny is making such marks for him
self, the reports say. Benny grew
abnost green with jealously when ho
wns thrown into series against the
Georgian, and when Ty attacked Buck
Rerzog, with whom Benny rooms, his
desire to eclipse the famous Tiger
knew no bounds. He out-Cobbed Cobb
ire some of those games, punching the
ball around for base hits and turning
in fielding plays that were sensational.
With his ambition, powerful arms,
and natural ability to hit there is no
reason iwhy Kauff shouldn't take hia.
place among batting leaders of the .
National league. And, it is proper to
remark that 'Benny has learned to
wear a heavy batting average without
danger of it running over.

KAUFF BELIEVED READY
FOR BEST SEASON
BY H. C. HAMILTON.
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
New York, April 14. If reports
from pre-season contests In whic'i tha
Giants participated are worth any
thing Benny Kauff, the blushing vio
let of the Federal league, stand a a
fine chance of enjoying the best sea
son of his career this summer.
Kauff, the box scores show, hit the
ball on the nose with startling reKU
kirity and firmness, and the box
scores showed that he occasionally
drew a base on balls instead of swing
ing wifdly at th? bad ones.
When tho season ended last fall
Kauff waa showing some of the stuff
that made him a king of batters in
the old " Gilmore circuit. He was
whaling away at the horsehiiie in a
manner that would have soon bousted
his batting average to very near t!ie
300 class. It was tho result of close
study by Benny and some close tutjr
ing by John McGraw. Kauff had been
told he couldn't swing iiv the general
direction of a National league base
ball and slam it out of the lot.
When Bonny entered the circuit pre
sided over by John K. Tenor it be
came a standing joke tnat he would
take a smash at anything, sincere and
certain in tho belief that a bascbnll
couldn't be thrown past him very of
ten. It was a fact. He was so eager
to hit that he would swing at any-
Starvation Follows
War? Not Always so
La Grande people with moderate means shudder
at the prospects of prohibitive prices on sugar, po
tatoes, flour and other food necessaries. At first
thought this alarm is justified, but there is a
panacea for high prices in the food line.
PURE MILK
is the solution. Ask your family physician about
the food values of clean milk, and then compare our
prices of $2.50 per month for a quart daily of our
clarified milk with other foods and you will dis
