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.

of The Spokesman— lc a word.
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.

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.

What a blessing it would be if all the people would get on a Name —
cash paying basis. 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.

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.
