Resume of the News of the
Week from All Parts
of Oregon
W. L. Thompson, a member of the
state highway commission, last week
said that the $6,000,000 road bonding
measure was one of the most pro
gressive pieces of legislation ever
passed by the Oregon legislature. He
spoke before nearly 100 Baker busi
ness men at the commercial club
luncheon.
Gevernor Withycombe has named
the members of the state board of
textbook commissioners, who, on June
1, 1919, are to designate the text
books which will be used for the suc
ceeding six years by the 150,000
school children of Oregon outside of
Portland. The textbooks for the
Portland schools are selected by the
Portland school board. The law pro
vides that every six years the com
mission shall designate the textbooks
to be used, but the appointments are
to be made in the fourth year of the
six-year tern!, so that the members
of the commission will have two
years in which to decide upon the
books to be used.
The Willamette Valley Editorial
association at its meeting at Albany
on Saturday afternoon, went on rec
ord in favor of the $6,000,000 highway
bonding issue, and in a resolution
adopted declared the proposed bond
issue to be one of the most progress
ive measures for the welfare of the
state that could be adopted.

Although Mr. Putnam has been a
anffei'pr from this trouble for some
time, it developed seriously only with
in the past lew days. Keports irom
the hosnital indicate that he is rally
ing well from the operation.
At the Tri-State Good Roads asso
ciation mass meeting at Medford on
Saturday evening it was agreed to
limit the work of the proposed con
gress of that body in that city, May

prising the district over which Com

It Carries a Moral.
1 know of an elderly man who twen
ty years ago stopped smoking. Before
that he consumed ntrut a dollars
worth of cigars every day.
Boasting to a friend how he hud
saved money by not smoking, the
friend niude a quick calculation.
"Yes," said the latter, "you must now
be at least $10,000 better off."
The ex-smoker reflected a moment
and then sadly observed:
"Well, no, I haven't a cent of It.
While I imagined 1 was saving In my
smoke bill I must have spent that
much more somewhere else."
Moral-Closing the spigot tight won't

the bung.-Girard In Philadelphia Led
ger. Cultivate Enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm Is the dynamics of your
personality. Without It, whatever abil
ities you possess lie dormant. You
may have knowledge, sound judgment,
good reasoning faculties, but no one
will know it until you discover how to
put your heart Into thought and action.
A wonderful thing Is this quality
which we call enthusiasm. If you
would like to be a power among men
cultivate enthusiasm. People will like
you better for It; you will escape the
dull routine of a mechanical existence,
and you will make headway wherever
you are. J. Ogdeu Armour lu Leslie's.
Evils of Poor Cooking.
Poor cooking often makes proper
food either difficult or Impossible to di
gest. The hard earned money of the
household goes to the purchuse of good
food, which Is often ruined by the
housewife Ignorant In the art of cook
ing. Good cooking is not a matter of
whim or flattering the palute. It Is an
absolute essential to health. Therefore
the ait should be taught in our schools,
suys a food expert.
Hard to Kill.
Snails are slow, even when it comes
to dying, and one naturalist who bad
mounted a shell upon a card was sur
prised to flud four years later that the
warm water employed in soaking the
shell off the mount had revived the In
mate, which he had long supposed to
be dried and dead.
Don't Be a Quitter.
It is nothing for a man to hold up
his head in a calm, but to maintain his
post when all others have quitted their
ground and there to stand upright
where other men are beaten down this
is divine and praiseworthy. Seneca.

ual drunkenness, Swetnam charges

charges, of poisoning him. Upon
another occasion Mrs. Swetnam
threateningly brandished an evil look

WILBUR BRIEF FILED
Friars' Club Host Will Air Appeal in
Supreme Court
District Attorney Gilbert L. Hedg
es Saturday filed the brief in the case
against Julius Wilbur, former pro
prietor of the Friars' club, at Mil
waukie, which case Wilbur appealed
to the supreme court following his
conviction in the circuit court.
Mr. Hedges believes the case will
be heard at an early date, since the
supreme court often sets aside the
civil calendar for criminal cases and
after the time limit for a reply brief
from Wilbur's attorneys there is no
thing to delay the trial. Wilbur was
sentenced to six months in jail by
Judge Campbell when he was con
victed of selling intoxicating liquors
at the Friars' club last year.
