CITY OFFICIAL
VALUABLE INDEED The Oregon State Board of Health issues a
IS THIS BULLETIN quarterly bulletin, that is full of information so
erroneous that it is a wonder the Board does not discontinue the circulation
of its pamphlet.
The Enterprise has called attention, a number of times, to the ridiculous
ly absurd figures in this bulletin. For, illustration the vital statistics for
Clackamas County for April, 1913, show 45 births and 21 deaths, but no
marriages. This is a truly wonderful and fearful condition and we may
all expect the birth rate to decrease. There were no marriage in May, yet
there were 28 births and 26 deaths reported. In June there were 51
b'irths in Clackamas County and 17 deaths, and again no marriages.
Every marriage ceremony must be reported to the cotmty clerk within
30 days of the date of its performance, and this law is generally complied
with. How easy, therefore, it would be for a representative of the State
Board of Health, to get the information necessary for an accurate bulletin
of vital statistics.
An interesting point in connection with this bulletin is that in June
under the head of "'Cases of Typhoid Fever," the answer is "none." Every
body in Oregon City knows this answer is perfectly true, and that the doctors
and newspapers are wrong.
JACKSON COUNTY Oregon counties will watch with no little inftr
POINTS THE' WAY est the fate of the proposed bond issue of $500,000
for good roads that will be voted on by the people of Jackson County aext
Tuesday.
Part of the good roads legislation enacted at the last session of the
legislature was this provision enabling counties to vote bonds for road im
provement, just as people of school districts vote bonds for constructing
buildings and other purposes.
There is considerable sentiment around Medford in favor of good,
permanent highways and it is expected that the bond issue will be indorsed.
In this event, it is expected that other counties in this State will fall into
line and build highways that will eventually cause the removal of the stigma
that has been attached to Oregon, by reason of the deplorable condition of
her country roads.
The road will start from the California line about 15 miles south of
Ashland, extending north through Ashland, Medford, Central Point, Gold
Hill and Rogue River to the north boundary of the county, a distance of 52
miles. It is planned to construct a concrete road with an asphalt, wearing
surface, although final decision will depend largely upon prices of materials.
In order to make the immediate

stand it and become successful in dealing with it.
One of the most important matters that affect prison discipline and
the reformation of prisoners is the appointing of a SUITABLE GUARD,
not political favorites. However-excellent a disciplinarian may be the
war.den, his work may be undone by those who comethe most closely
into contact with the men.
The state must pay its guard well enough to have the services of a
staff of ABLE, EFFICIENT, . INTELLIGENT MEN.. They must be
chosen, NOT WITH REGARD TO POLITICS, BUT WITH RE
GARD TO THEIR HIGH MORAL CHARACTER AND THEIR
ABILITY TO COMMAND THE RESPECT OF THE PRISONERS.
No man who drinks, no man who swears at a prisoner, should be allowed
on a prison staff. Any successful warden in this country woulrl indorse
this as a rule that must be enforced for the successful management of a
prison.

Bees and Tin Pans.
The practice of heating tin pans tc
settle bees, no doubt, grew out of ar
old English law. now almost forgotten
which required the beekeeper to give
notice in this way that his bees wer
about to swarm and that be was en
titled to follow them and get them
back. If; after giving this warning, ht
failed to follow the swarm or if he lost
sight of them and they alighted else

of the person on whose land they set

Portuguese' Burial Custom.
They have an unusual mode of
burial In Portugal. Instead of head
stones and monuments of the grave
yards of other countries the cemetery
of Lisbon shows rows and rows' of
tiny chapels, ranged In long avenues
bordered by cypress trees. The Portu
guese are reluctant to bury their dead
out of sight, and these chapels serve
as mortuaries for the coffins, which
are placed on shelves within. - Through
the iron grilles the eye discerns small
altars and flowers gleaming through
the subdued light of the interiors.
Vampires.
The belief in vampires can be traced
back for more than 2,000 years, yet
there is not on record a single authen
ticated Instance of a vampire having
been seen by a human being, and there
are no data available by means of
which the origin of the belief can be
ascertained with any degree of cer
tainty. These blood sucking appari
tions, or "living, mischievous, murder
ous dead bodies." as one writer quaint
ly termed thm. were common to all
countries, whether occidental or ori
ental. A Judge of Music
A concert was given at a German

At its close the illustrious guest asked
for a repetition of the first Item on the

failed to recognize It as the one he had
liked best Suddenly the musicians
fell to tuning their Instruments, during
which process all the company stopped
their ears with the exception of the

rapture of delight "That is my favor

Blunders In Book Titles.
There is always a crop of amusing
mistakes concerning titles. Nothing
so taxes the ingenuity of the bookseller
as these phonetic endeavors to get at
the name of a book. What but a gen
ius could conceive that by "Within or
Outside the Pall" was meant "Beyond
the Pale!" Even Mr. Bullen would be
puzzled by a reference to "Screwy of
the Cash Lock" for "The Cruise of the
Cachelot" Some other amusing blun
ders are "She Strips to Kongo" for
"She Stoops to Conquer," "Hero of the
Week" for "Hereward, the Wake."
"Lined Pockets" for "Lying Prophets"
and "Bad Acre of Greece" for Baede
ker's "Greece." New York Post

mirably for a lure, he addressed him-,
self to Christy, the highland servant
girl, "I say. my girl, can yon get me
some horseflies?"
Christy looked stupid, and he repeat
ed his question. Finding that she did
not yet comprehend him, he exclaimed:
"Why, girt' did you never see a
horsefly?"
"Naa, sir." said the girl, "but a

Napoleon was born in Ajacco, on the
island of Corsica, and was by breed
and Instinct an Italian. He never was,
except to the extent of language and
politics, a Frenchman. To his dying
day he was a dear lover of his native
land.. and while life lasted he remained
true to the little island that gave him
to the world. It' was while he was a
charity student in France that Napo-
leon got his first knowledge of the land
that was to assist him to his large and
lasting fame. New York American.
- . How Tin Foil la Made.
Tin foil, which is extensively used for
wrapping tobacco, certain food prod
ucts and other articles of commerce, is
a combination of lead with a thin coat
ing of tin ou each side. First a tin"'
pipe is made of a thickness proportion
ate to its diameter, proportion not giv
en. This pipe is then filled with molten
lead and rolled or beaten to the ex
treme thinness required. In this proc
ess the tin coating spreads simultane
