The plans thus far furnished pre
sent features of economy and beauti-
fication along many lines which would
not be recognized by this committee,
inexperienced in this work. They also
present features of maintenance that
should appeal to the citizens and tax
payers as wise from a civic stand
point.
First. The plans provide a system
of walks ellicient for public needs in
pleasing lines and reduced to a mini
mum length. In fact a large amount

cost approximately $200.00. Other
savings in walks are noted also in the
plans.
Third. The walks are so plnnned
as not to interfere with any valuable
trees and to add convenience and
beauty to the grounds.
Fourth. The specifications furnish
the names of shrubs, their approxi
mate cost at any nursery and the ex
act location of each croup.
Fifth. The shrubs are so grouped
that there is left much open Bpace in
tho middle of the grounds for grass
und for general uses. Those groups
are located at points of intersections
and on curves, occupying all the
ground where growing, permitting no
grass underneath and henco requiring
very little care. The whole scene is
one that reduces to a minimum the
cost of care and maintenance.
Sixth. The roadway (U feet wide)
is to bo of gravel, the walks (5 feet
wide) of cement, or gravel, the foun
tains to be located where all travel
is directed by the plan of the walks,

provement are to add civic beauty and
through these community values und
usefullncss.
The plans we have submitted con
template the use of these parks as
well as enjoyment of their added
beauty.

We recommend further (lHhat only
a part of the shrubbery and planting
suggested for each of the two parks
now planned be placed at the earliest
possible date and the remainder be
placed next year prior to April 10;
(2) that the walks now planned be
built as soon as the weather is ap
propriate and the grades established;
(3) that the open spaco bounded by
the Eastham school campus, Molalla
Avenue, Seventh and Division Sts., be
levelled and the low and wet space
extending across the same be drained
and the dirt moved in levelling used in
filling the depression. This latter
work should be done during the sum
mer when teams may be nad at the
best advantage and this space finished
for play grounds next year. The li
brary park shall be filled as required
with dirt to be had from the streets
under improvement. The expense
would be slight and would bo a bene
fit to the surrounding neighborhood
and city at large.
Vacant lots belonging to the city
should be improved where practicable
as streets arc improved and places re
quired for dumping dirt at convenient
distances. They may be used finally
as playgrounds suitable for games, as
tennis, nandball, etc., for young peo
ple or boys and girls in the neighbor
hood, or sold to advantage. This lat
ter work cannot and should not all
bo attempted at once, but should be
planned for and completed at the
least possiblo expense as soon as pos
sible. F. J. TOOZE,

confidence. Music, art and literature
are their ideals, and they enjoy them

to Head New
Expedition
Arctic
Flans for a four-year expedition to
the Arctic regions next May, have
been made public by Vilhjalmer Ste
fansson, discoverer of the blonde
Esquimaux.
Mefansson and his companions,
eight or ten picked men oi science,
will sail from Esquimault, B. C, near
Victoria, the latter part of May or
early in June, on the 247-ton steam
whaler, Karluck, barkentine rigged
purchased for the expedition by the
Canadian government.
The Karluck now lies in San Fran
cisco harbor. During the next ten
days she will be overhauled and sent
to Esquimault. She will fly the Brit,
ish flag and will carry a crew of
fourteen men.
The Karluck will carry the party as
far north as ice-filled seas will per
mit. Under favorable conditions they
expect, in September to reach land
somewhere in the Beaufort Sea, now
unexplored. There they will establish
a base for supplies, sending the ves
sel back and remaining there during
the winter.
If this program can not be carried
out the expedition probably will land
at Herschel Island, remain there a
week to establish a primary base, re
turn to Prince Patrickland, and either
there or at Herschel Island, pass the
winter.
A million sauare miles of snow and
ice north of the North American con
tinent and Siberia will be explored as
far as possible.

Some Practical. Suggestions by One
Who Has Proven Them
Editor Courier:
In regard to your May 2nd issue, I
will give you a few pointers on poul
try raising and cheap feeding.
I kept over, from last season, 60
pullets and 16 Indian Runner ducks.
The 'pullets began laying Dec. 1st
and have averaged I doz. per day
since. During this time I have set and
hatched 62 ducks, in January. Since
then I have hatched 49 chicks and 120
ducklings and there are 16 hens set
ting now.
I feed the hens corn and wheat
morning and evening, cooked potatoes
mashed with bran at noon, all they
can eat. I give them sand, oyster
shells and greens and kale.
My chicks and ducklings are start
ed after about twenty-four hours by
feeding with hard-boiled eggs, which
were tested out after 7 or 8 days.
After one day I add dry bread crumbs
and rolled oats, which may be dam
pened a little. Give plenty of dry
sand. After one week I soak bread in
milk and squeeze out dry, which they
relish very much, and ground wheat,
which I feed them 6 or 6 times a day
for 10 or 12 days, then 3 or 4 times.
I feed old ducks mostly bran, mixed
with a few cooked potatoes and
ground meat crackigs to nens.
I sold two trios at $5.00 each so
had 8 ducks and one drake left. They
laid well all winter but the last two
months have averaged 7 per day. I
get $1.00 for 13 for setting
The success in poultry is to get
along without buying expensive foods,
hatch in April or May; feed well and
get pullets matured by November or
December, and then they will lay all
winter if properly housed. They must
be kept dry and warm and the house
clean. Sprinkle the dropping boards
with air slack lime, after cleaning,
and pour coal oil on perches once or
twice a month, and you will have
clean and healthy birds. A few drops
of coal oil or creoline in the drinking
water will keep off roop and colds. Put
a little salt in mashes, peppers are
good in cold weather.

THINK THESE OVER
The great calamity in Omaha was
3uickly overshadowed by the terribly
isastrous floods in Ohio. Great suf
fering and sickness from colds and
exposure resulted. L. Poolo, 2217 Cal

daughter had a very severe cough and

An Old Evil With Some Comparisons
You Can't Dodge.
As the kind Editor has said we can
all speak out in meeting this week,
we had better rise up and speak, for
we may never have another chance,
Do the good citizens who fight for
temperance and morality stop to think
that they pay enormous bills ior the
care of the vicious, the insane, the
paupers and outcasts? That the pen-
nenianes. ana lmDecu asyiums are
all caused by intoxicating liquors?
Can any human being give a valid
reason why anvone should be permit
ted to sell or drink alcoholic liquor?
Nearly all crimes of violence in our
land are caused by the enemy men put
in their mouths to steal away their
orams.
If a contagious disease breaks out
in some home and the danger signal
is not put out toi warn people
away irom going there, what a com
plaining roar and racket will be made.
Now in the name of justice, why
shouldn't there be danger signals put
out in iront oi all saloons .' There is
a hundred times more danger in them,
If a man should ride a horse to
town and hitch him out somewhere
and let him stand there all night in
the cold and rain, the man would be
arrested for it. Now I have known
men who work all week and Saturday
evening draw their pay and go in a
saloon and spend their money; stay
till midnight then maybe lay out of
doors the rest of the night, his family
suffering with cold and hunger ten
times over what the horse suffers.
Oh ye men of brains! Rise up in
the strength of your manhood and
wipe out the curse of our fair land
out of existence.
Mothers, just imagine your boy in
the saloon drinking and gambling,
then in his drunken fit do some aw
ful deed, for which he would be hung.
If, in your agony, you could turn him
backward to when he was an innocent
boy on his death bed with the fever,
wouldn't your poor breast feel a re
lief? There would be no disgrace or
wretchedness to follow. You would
know your poor boy was safe from all
harm.
Now, dear girls, a word to you. Lis
ten. Did you ever think or realize that
young men have more self respect
than most girls ? There is'nt a young
man of respectability that would go
with a girl that was intoxicated or
walk the streets with a girl with a ci
gar in her mouth, puffing away or
squirting tobacco juice around over
the sidewalk.
Society will never be refined until
the girls demand of the boys the same
purity of character that the boys de
mand of the girls. Over the heads of
the young ladies hang the possibilit
ies of the greatest moral reform that
ever swept over the country, wow
girls, for your own sakes try for a
reformation.
MRS. J. L. MUMPOWER
PURE WATER
Don't Stop with the hypo Treatment,
Get the Pure Source
"I cry aloud and sundry, in my
plainest accents and at the very tip
top of my voice: Here it is gentlemen!
Walk up, walk up, gentlemen, walk up
walk up! Here is the superior stuff!
Here is the unadulterated ale of
father Adam." ,
So wrote Hawthorne in his "Rill
from the Town Pump." Could our
drinking fountains speak possibly the
call would be this "Here it is gentle
men! Walk up, walk up. Water from
the beautiful blue Willamette." The
unadulterated ale of father Adam
Ah! no. Beware! I am supposed to be
pure H20, but I will have to confess
that there lurkes within the typhoid
germs. To counteract these there has
been placed among my drops a certain
amount of hypo-chlorite. I am not
pure. To be absolutely safe take me
home and boil me. Then drink to
quench your thirst.'"
It is unfortunate that such should
be the condition of the water in our
city. It is difficult to convince one
who has suffered from it unhealth
ful condition last winter, that it is
now absolutely pure. If the filter
failed then in its power to remove all
foreign matter, will it not do so
again? Who will have the temerity
to affirm it will always work perfect-
iyL ... .
We heartily commend the commit
tee that has been investigating our
present system, for all that they
have done. Hut we do not wish them
to rest one moment until every ar
rangement has been made and put in
to effect, for a perfectly pure water
system. While they wait someone's
me may be in danger, may be hang
ing in the balance, may possibly eo
out. "There is danger and death in de
lay." Speed the good work and rest
not until clear, pure, wholesome wat-.
er gushes from our faucets, and our
fountains call without any trepidition.
"Walk up, walk up, thirsty citizens
and drink as pure a draught as Ore
gon affords."

"Spring js so late,"
said a bird to his mate,
"Let us take time to rest
For we can't huilH a nest
Till the snow is all off the ground."
But this poor little bird
With trouble was stirrpH.
For the snow it came down
Till it covered thn
And his courage deserted him quite.
Till he said to his mate.
"Let us both emigrate
10 a beautiful clime
Where it's Spring all the time."
So they left and never came back.
Health a Factor in Success
The largest factor contributing to
a man's success is undoubtedly health.
It has been observed that a man is
seldom sick when his bowels are reg
ular he is never well when they are
consitipated. For constipation you will
find nothing quite so good as Cham
berlain's Tablets. They not only move
the bowels, but improve the appetite
and strengthen the digestion. They
are sold by Huntlo? Bros. Co.
But the poor Oregon farmer
cannot take his charmer
And fly to some ocean-washed isle
He must stav nil the whl la
And make the best of his lot.
