O F F IC IA L DIRECTORY’ k a i i . k o a d OLD AGE AND EFFICIENCY Commissioner Brewster, one o f the members o f the City Commission o f Portland, has been trying and is now trying to get R. T. Chamberlain, a janitor o f the city hall, fired, claiming he is too old to do the work. Chamberlain was once discharged by Brewster, but he ap­ pealed to the Civil Service commission there and was reinstated. Now Brewster has carried the matter up to the Supreme Court to see if he can have that body sustain him in his attitude— the discharge o f Chamberlain. Chamberlain is a Civil W ar veteran, and occupants o f the city hall were unanimous in their statements that the work as­ signed the janitor was well and satisfactorily performed, and they desired to see him retained in his position. Chamberlain is hale and hearty and capably fit to perform his duties, even i f he is a Civil W ar veteran, so say those disinter­ ested persons who know him. Because a man has advanced along life's pathway until he leaches 60, 70 or 75 years o f age is no reason why he is too old or incompetent to perform certain duties, and should be cast into the scrap pile. Right here in Redmond there is an illustration o f how well an aged man can perform arduous duties. Z. T. McClay, a vet­ eran of the Civil War, who is 71 years old. is as hale and hearty as he was 20 years ago. and he performs the duties o f deputy sheriff and constable just as well, if not better, than a man 30 years younger could or would do. And there are other old men in this section o f the state, and probably in every other section o f the state who are just as hale and husky as McClay or Chamberlain, and capable o f performing the duties and fulfilling the occupations they are engaged in. This talk o f old age and the Ostler theory that a man is no good after he is 40 years is all bosh. A man is never any older than he thinks he is. It is to be hoped that the Oregon Supreme Court will sus­ tain the Civil Service commission o f the City o f Portland and keep Chamberlain in his position despite the efforts o f Commis­ sioner Brewster to oust him. Give the old men a chance— they’re all right. r i m : t .\m> Or«>Ron Trunk Dally arrive« from north. . 7 : 13a.m. arrive* from a o u t h 1 0 p . m . O.-W. R.

Nothing hut the B E ST in nerved at our place It has been intimated to The Spokesman that the attendance at the county fa ir at Prineville this fall will be much reduced from former years owing to the action that Co. Judge Springer and Commissioner Brown took in turning down county appro­ priations for fairs at Redmond and Sisters. And President Blan­ chard o f the county fair, who is a candidate for county commis­ sioner, comes in for a share o f the blame fo r the non granting o f the above fair appropriations, according to some reports. Rod monti. O regon First of all, the farmer mutt be a business man. A prominent Prineville man who was in Redmond recently, said that when it come to voting for county seat fo r Jefferson county, the new county that it is proposed to cut off the northern part o f the present county of Crook, four towns would want the court house— Madras, Culver, Metolius and Gateway. He said the lattet town stood the better chance for there were more votes in that section, even if Gateway is located in the extreme north end o f the proposed new county. Farming it manufacturing food and food product^ and the farm and farm equipment constitute the plant. Competition is keen and it requires business methods to make money. T h e parcels post has opened the way to wider markets. Rural telephones, trolleys and mail delivery have brought unlim­ ited opportunity for doing business. Y ou need one thing more— The L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter From a reliable source it is learned that the Sisters Herald will discontinue publication after the July 29th issue. This will leave seven papers in the county— two at Prineville, and one each at Bend, La Pine, Redmond, Culver and Madras.

Then there would be no books to keep, no p 0 bills to send out, and the business man would not get gray headed State- trying to collect his accounts. Wonder if that cash basis system will ever come. To lb s L C. S m ith Knowles, the “ nature” man, who went into the woods near Grants Pass this week Monday, entirely naked, and who says he will get his living with his hands, may be able to do it— it is not a hard matter to catch chickens on the roost at night with the hands. The people who have electric ranges to do their cooking on surely appreciated them the hot days last week— and especially the housewife who has to do the cooking. No extreme heat, no ashes or dust— just turn a button and the “ juice” does the rest. Here is good news about the high cost o f living being re­ duced: The State Railroad Commission has announced that the freight rate on pajamas is to be reduced, taking the same rate as nightgowns. Cool places were in demand Sunday, and the householder who had a big juniper tree growing in his yard sought the shady side o f it during most o f the day. 306 Oak & B r io T y p e w r ite r Co.
