the Rose City need have little fear of
awlftly moving coaches.
While the Eclipse Life Guard fender
Is named In the ordinance, Chalrm
Vaughn 'aid that fact did not neccs
snrlly mean the committee would recom
mend It for adoption to the council. It
waa Inserted because the committee
found, that it compiled more nearly to
the requirements of the committee than
nv other tested.
The fender to be reported upon favor
ably by the committee must be attached
to tne rront ena or tne car ana not
to the trucks. The fender must at no
time be more than four Inches above
the road way and must extend 10
Inches outside of each rail. The top
of the new fender will have to be on
level with the floor of the car and lt
constructed above so as to form a shield
for the front end of the coach.
In shape the fender will have to be
fashioned like a scoop and can be no
shorter than three feet from front to
back. The new life protector will have

the shape of a human beinsr without
Injury to the object. It must be con
structed of such material as will give
it resiliency and strength. Finally, to
complete the ideaa of the committee
men, the front edge of the fender must
be covered with rubber buffers to ease
the shock of any person picked up by
the device.
Where such a fender will be procured
remains a mystery, but Chairman
Vaughn stated yesterday that action
will be taken by the committee and a
fender selected.
'There will be something done,' he
added significantly. "We have been
working on the fender proposition for
many months and the time haa como
for action. The action will occur Tues
day when everybody who has an Idea
or objection In the fender question will
have to be present If he desires to be
heard."

One more reader has come to the fore
with some reasons why the motto "In
God We Trust" should not be taken
from the coin of the realm. She be
lieves that to leave the motto on the
coin would Interfere with no one s
rights, and that It should therefore be
done. The text of her letter follows:
To the Editor of The Journal In re
ply to a crlj;lclsm may Isay, to be truly
American, each creed should teach iti
creed without imposing on another. Col
leetivelv they develop Into a generality
and In their belief In Father. Son and
Holy Ghost. Uncle Sam and we, of
many creeda, are dlstlnculshed, Chris
tians. while Buddhists. Mohammedans
pagans, and Hindus, are classed, as they
wish, by tneir names. tor until we
meet on the other shore our God, as we
believe, will not be acknowledged by
them as tneir uon.
The motto "In God We Trust," would
be better In our hearts than on our
heels. However, if respectfully ar
ranged on the dash hoards of our car
riages, facing drivers, while cJriving
rracuous norses, it mignt prevent pro
fanity. Because God's name is taken
in vain should we exterminate languages
or cancel irom our com trie most beau

coin mlnsies with nations and carries
with it its story of a prosperous Chris

Christians.

of the gang of five young men between
the ages of 18 and 21 years who broke
into the store of J. II. Turney at Ash
wood when it was closed Thanksgiving
day and stole clothing, cutlery and oth
er articles. Turney learned after a
little Investigation that John W. Coch
rln and Ed Kasmusen, from Klickitat,
Washington, had been suspected ot such
offenses on previous occasions and he
made complaint to Sheriff Elklns, who
promptly arrested the suspects. After
an examination the sheriff discovered
there were other parties Implicated and
a quiet Investigation which followed
resulted In the arrest of Maupln, Shorts
and Jesse Greater, all of whom were
raised at or near Ashwood. They were
placed under 11,000 bond each. In de
fault, Rasmusen was sent to Jnll. The
?reater portion of the stolen goods was
ound and restored to the owner.
A series of similar robberies have
been committed in the vicinity of Ash
wood and Sheriff Elklns thinks soma
of these will be accounted for at tha
trial of the accused parties before the
circuit court next spring.
Those boys who are out on ball are
being sent to the public school here
