Salem's Milk Ordinance THE effort to repeal the present milk ordinance seems like crying over spilt milk. The time to have raised ob jection was weeks ago when the ordinance was under care ful consideration. Objection was raised at that lime to some provisions, and modification made. The ordinance was then passed by an overwhelming vote. It seems inopportune and unnecessary to re-open the subject at this time. It is the more untimely because the majority of the dairymen have complied wit hthe provisions of the new ordinance; and to knock out all restriction as to milk production and handling wouldbe a blow to those who have in good faith spent their money in meeting the provisions of the law. The move of Alderman Vandevort to repeal the ordin ance is prompted quite as much by a general antipathy to "inspection" as to hostility to this particular ordinance. It is easy enough to make out a case against inspectors who are prying into all forms of business nowadays, but when you come right down to it, most of the inspectors are there be cause of public demand or necessity. Our changed manner of living wherein the family no longer produces most of the articles it consumes but depends on others for their supply forces inspection service for public protection. We have made some study of the present milk ordinance a3 compared with the former ordinance. The new ordinance is no more rigid in its standards than the old one; bnt it does make the inspector apply the correct grade: A, B, C or D. That isaJI the inspection is. It simply grades ti:e milk which is produced by a dairyman. If his equipment meets certain standards and the quality of his milk meets certain standards his grade is A, the next lower is B, with the other two grades for inferior milk. The inspector can tell the dairyman or producer what to do to qualify under certain grades ; then it is up to the dairyman to meet the requirements or not just as they choose. The milk producer, if he doesn't want to sell in the Salem market for raw milk, can sell to the creameries1 outside the city. He has plenty of liberty of action except when it endangers the health of the city of Salem. The conditions governing milk production are if any thing a little more lenient under the new ordinance. It was proposed to require milk to be bottled at the place of produc tion, but this Avas knocked out in order to let the small pro ducer continue in business. Here are the important changes in the new ordinance as compared with the old one so far as standards are concerned: For grade A milk the bacterial count allowed is cut from 60,000 to 30,000 per cc. But this is not very important be cause the average for the previous year was only 15,000, so the producers for the most part have been far within the limit of tolerance. Milk from cows affected' with contagious abortion no longer qualifies as grade A, but the dairymen themselves have been cleaning up their herds, eliminating animals not abortion-free. Here are provisions which are "easier" on the dairy man: Dairy barn floors may be of tongued and grooved boards; old ordinance required concrete or other impervious material. Amount of air space per cow reduced from 500 cubic feet to 400 cubic feet. The big difference comes in that the new ordinance nder the grading system becomes self -enforcing while the eldordinance could be ignored in many particulars and still the dairyman could "get by. If one reads the new ordinance he will be impressed with the fact that it is on the whole very reasonable. Milk consumers are entitled to health protection and they are willing to pay the extra 'cost for that protection. The stand ards set up are those of cleanliness, care in handling, and preventing of 'contamination; We can see where an individ ual dairyman who knows his milk is pure and clean may ob ject to some of the small details; but when he realizes there may be other dairymen who would take advantage of leni ency and try to market milk which would threaten the health of babies, then he will realize there must be standards and they must be complied with. The dairymen themselves are lining .up-in favor of the ordinance. It is a report that the increased price they are getting for milk more than offsets the expense they have been pot to. More than that, the majority of the dairymen have a keen sense of their responsibility in supplying Salem with pure milk. Milk is, with water, one of the worst carriers of disease. There must be some ordinance, and the new ord inance is just as satisfactory as any new one which would adequately protect the health of the public. Raf f etys Use of State Car A MAN came into this office to complain that it was il- J legal to continue Chief 1st if he is relieved of his That is a legal point that an but might be justified practically and legally as a vacation on pay such as most employes 01 tne state receive. But we do not think Secretary Hoss has the' legal war rant to grant Mr. Raffety the use of a state automobile and the usual travel expense account unless &uch are directly for state business. No state official is supposed to use state ears or expense account for Personal trips ! and snrelv no deposed state official should be given that yiegal privilege. . It is hot a matter of how with Mr. Raffety, but comply volved. Secretary Hoss should clear up the point which the wording of ms letter raises.

There are many disorders of sleep; too many to Include here. One of the most common Is In somnia, or sleeplessness. ' It Is due to a variety of causes. It may due to physical or emotion al conditions. It max come from a toxic condition, or a nervous condition, or mental fatigue. Disturbance of the digestive tract is one of the most common causes for not sleeping well. Worry and anxiety of any sort is pretty sure to keep one awake. Poorly ventilated and prer heated rooms will cause great restlessness. Everyone should sleep with windows wide open, and ln the summer with light covering.- Too much covering or not enough, will cause wakeful ness. . With children, as with, many adults, insufficient nourishment will cans persistent wakeful ness. One of the best things to promote sleep Is the drinking of a glass of hot milk, or hot malt ed milk, before bedtime. Proper habits of sleep are es sential for a growing child, as they are for adults. Going to bed at a regular time helps to fix the habit of sleep. Babies pampered by mothers and nurses and taken up at the yery first cry, or for a trivial reason, very soon become poor sleepers. From the time a child is a week old it should be laid down quietly and the room dark ened, when sleep comes on na turally. In older children who are im pressionable and of a nervous tendency, it Is best not to read them exciting stories or have them engage tn exciting pas times in the hour Just before bedtime. It is better, also, not to have a ticking dock in the room. It is just as well for children net to know the length of time they sleep. These are only a few of the causes of sleeplessness.- There hre often conditions of health and disease where sleeplessness is a marked symptom, but the common causes, which msny4 times are easily overcome, should be attended ta at once. Sleep and rest come most eas ily when the senses are dulled to drowsiness. Cultivate an optimistic spirit and teach your child to do the same. Look on the bright side of things. Banish worry and in the natural order of things, good, sound sleep may be young. B. M. J. Q. What causes the finger nails and Hps to turn blue? A. This may be due to heart trouble.

Barbara's eyes smarted from dust and her wrists ached with th ef fort of yanking the recalcitrant car around an endless series of hair-pin curves. The wheels bounced sidewlse across the stiff rots, jolting Barbara's hair for ward across her eyes but she dar ed not take her era-iped hands from the wheel to thrust it back. Sheer canyons dropped away from the road at the right. De spite her effort to fix her eyes on. the road. Barbara's gate darted for brief Instants over the edge. So ateep was the declivity that almost at the road's margin she was looking down on tree-tops. where the mistletoe hung in thick clumps like giant bird's nests. With a gasp she realised that the car had veered in the 'direction of her glance, and she wrenched It around. A clod of earth crumbled under the rear wheel and fell with a heavy thud among the trees be low. With a sharp sigh of relief she caught a glimpse of huddled buildings ahead, where the road widened. Then, as she slowed down'in expectation of th town, th tears smarted behind her eye lids and she caught her breath in La sob of disappointment. It was not the town after all only a de serted mining camp, an abandon ed relle of the boom days ot the California Mother Lode. The brick walls were roofless shells, the mortar had fallen from between the stones. Windows, set deep in twelve-inch walls of crumbling brick and stone, were covered with mated iron shatters. Barbara did not share Peter's habit of easy profanity, but as she paused for a moment bexore the almost ob literated wooden sign on which th words "Post Office" were still faintly discernible, she swore gen tly and fervently. Damn. said Barbara. "Oh. damn!'.' There was more ot that road to face mors of it, snd It wss al ready Interminable. Sh wonder ed if she could b lost bnt there had been no cross roads . which she could possibly litre taken by mistake. She glanced at the tpeed-J Mnier, ana -ions was sne naa come Just seven miles. She long ed to stop before that flapping sign marked "Post Off ice" to sit there without budging until som qne came for her. But the sheets of Peter's stery crackled in her seat pocket.

" -. rs ..-! v-. -jt; command. What did you say to sheep, anyway T "Scat!" But "scat" was evidently a word foreign to the sheep language. "Shoo," she tried again, "Get out of the way. Shoo I Shoo! A few of the nearest blunt nosed, stupid heads were lifted momentarUy. A few of the bodies shifted and crowded in front of the radiator, but their places were immediately taken by others. Bar bara forced her way forward a few inches and gave it up. X wish they were cows!" she exclaimed. "Then a tleast If two ot three ot them got out of the way at once, it would make a hole." She could no longer force her eyes to remain open in the dust. Tears pressed from beneath her Irritated eyelids and tracked her grimy cheeks. She contrived to push forward another few inches then her engine stalled. "Damn!" Barbara said again. And what her language lacked in variety it made up in fervor. "Damn, damn, dtmn!" "Ma'am?" Barbara started violently at the sound of a voice close beside her. For s wild moment it seemed thst those Infernal sheep had found human voice. Then, wiping her smarting eyes with her handker chief, she peered through the dust and discovered swarthy, black haired figure. "Oh!" Barbara cried In relief. "Do you belong to these sheep?" "Yes, ma'am. "Then can't yon atop them? Cant you get them out of the way and let me pass? "No, ma'am." Barbara sat back helplessly. She felt a sadden almost irresistible impulse to laugh to lean baek and laugh until her sides ached. However, she lesaed forward over the edg ot th door and survey ed the laconic sheep herder more closely. Barbara had listened to Peter's account of 'Julio's part In the last eveniag's proceedings snd a sudden idea put her own dis comforts out of her mind. ."Were you out er -chaperon-lag these sheen last evening?" she asked. "Sure, I stay with the heep." "Co you mind telling m where yoo were?" Th Bason waved his hand la an expressive snd comprehensive gesture. "Orer there. At night I was by Wild Hog Glory. Neither face par rote betrayed the slightest hint of curiosity at this question ing by a stranger . "Oh!" Barbara exclaimed. Tve erard ot that. And do ye knew Mr. Everett by sight?" "Sure, I knew him. These are his sheep." "I don't suppose yeu saw him in the hills 1st yesterday after noonOh, did yea?" Barbara's voice trembled with eagerness. "Sure, I See him- yet." "That's splendid. Thar lost Whtt wWve been looking for. Do get fate, the ear with m while I go to Gray's Flat and sead a tel egram.' and tow wu go right back to Hsngtown." The sheep herder showed no surprise at this remarkabt re quest. but be stood In the read, the sheep eddying around him, as one who Is not t be moved.-by anything short of a cataclysm at nature, "No, ma'am," he said. "X stay with the sheep.? Barbara beat her small flat Im patiently on the rim ot the door. "But It's Important! Tan don't know how- Important ft is. Listen do you know a man named Mor tison?" - "Swre I know him." Th herd er's heavy brows drew-together. His black eyes suddenly glowed Barbara wondered how she had ever thought his face stolid-and expressionless. "He is no good," he said as one pnasL. final and long-considered Judgment. "Ton know Julio too, I sup tZ " r t - -"--; -Si-TT'-S, 5 ":--. . - !f. r-r pose," Barbara ventured. "Yes. ma'am." Tt man ..top ped forward and laid his huge hand on the frame of the door beside Barbara's. "I will tell you. Not for nothing do I say of a man that he Is, no good." Dark anger brooded over his swar'hy face the much alone, and, being alone, has time for thought and feeling to grow in silence,' until speech is no longer a light and unconsider ed thing. "Julio, he is a good man. He had a girl," the heavy shoulders shrugged. "Me, I do not think so mucn or ner. out it is bis own business. Her mother, that is Mrs. Coak, who keeps house for Mrs. Everett, thought her daughter was above Julio, because he is a sheepherder. But Julio, be did not mind that. Then this Mr. Mortison come to take charge of the ranch and he, with the fine manners and the hands always clean, he gets Julio's girl." There was a glint ot wnite teeth as the man's lips drew back in a snarl. "I think Mrs. Coak she wast her daughter to be- Oh very proper. Aad Julio, whom she despise Julio would never do to her daughter what this Mortison did." In some strange South Eu ropean fashion he contrived to pronounce the name of Mortison each time as though he were spit ting. "Julio, he fs wild. I do not like it not because of the girl, but because ot Julio. Julio is a good man." Barbara had listened, scarcely drawing breath, during this loos ening of the herder's long pent speech. "To think thit your sheep should hare crossed r';ht here," she said almost with awe. "Listen! Mr. Mortison was killed last eve ning and Mr. Everett Is in Jail on suspicion ot the murder. He said he walked ap towards Wild Hog Glory, but nobody saw him. That's way you're so important. Julio is ia jail. to. Can't you park your sheep somewhere and eome to Hangtown to tell the sheriff what you saw snd maybe help Julio too?" Barbara pleaded. "Yes, ma'am. I come." Th herder's face relapsed into it for mer lmpassiviy. "first. I take the sheep t pasture. I go find Jesu t watch them for me. Then I come to Hangtown." "But you can't walk all that way!" Again white teeth gleamed this Um la a bread smUe. The herder's long arm. reached toward the hills that termed the hortson reached, and brought that great cirele within the csrv of his arm. "I take the sheep," be said with an tmmens and placid ealm. "I take them dowa below now. I find Jess then I come." The surge et bodies across the road had thinned C trickle.

With ess arm supporting pre carious balance against a tree trunk, the herder lifted his hand ins an answering gesture. "Sure, yes ma'am, 1 come ! " " Th perils of th- road and th Idiosyncrasies ot Bossy passed un regarded from Barbara' conscious ness. She only knew thst she must tile the telegram and hurry back to Peter with th news. Two hours later, her bsir, skin and clothes vednced, to a uniform dust-color, sh reaped from' the ear la frost of tae. Hangtows hotel. "Oh, Peter," she called Out be fore Peter bad time to Jump dowa the steps to the car. 'Tre got Mr. Everett' alibi!" "You're all right?! Peter asked anxiously hit hands on her shoul ders.

But the journal tor that day con cludes: "Ia the afternoon we were rejoiced at the return of .Captain Lewis, who cam in a canoe with three ot his men, the other two being left to guard six elk and five dees which they had killed. i "He had- examined the coast, and found a river a short distance below, on which we might en camp during the winter, with a sufficiency of elk for our sub sistence within reach. This in formation was very satisfactory, and we decided on going thither as soon a we could more from the poiat; but all night- and the following day, "Friday, the 6th, it rained, and the wind blew hard from the southwest, so that the sa was too rough for us to proceed. The high tide of today rose 13 inches higher than it did yesterday, and obliged us to move our camp to a higher situation. Here we re mained waiting for better weath er, till about'dark the wind shift ed to the north, and the sky was clear. We had now some pros pect of being able to leave our sit uation, and indeed, although some rain fell In the course ot the night, the next morning was fair. "Saturday, December 7, 1805. We? therefore loaded our canoea ana proceeded. But the tide was against us. and the waves very high, so that we were obliged to proceed slowly and cautiously. (They were going west past the present site of Astoria.) We at length turned a point, and found ourselves in a deep bay: here we landed tor breakfast, and were Joined by the party sent out three dayB ago to look for the six elk. In seeking for the elk they had missed their way for a day and a half, and when they reached the place found the elk so much spoiled that they brought the skins only of four ot them. "After breakfast we coasted round the bay, which Is about four miles across, and receives, besides several small creeks, two rivers called by the Indians, the one KUhowanakel, the other Ne tul. We called It Meri weather bay, from the Christian name ot Captain Lewis, who was no doubt the first white man who surveyed it." (Merlweather bay had already been named, by Lieutenant Broughtoa of the British war ves sel Chatham, in November, 1792; Broughton being under Captain Vancouver, Broughton named It Young's bay, and he named the river running into the bay Young's river, for Sir George Young of the British navy, who became an admiral in that navy. Broughton also named Mount Hood, for Admiral Samuel Hood of the British navy, and Vancou ver had already named Hood ean al of Puget Sound for him.) s s s (So Young's bsy and river stand. The KUhowanakel river is Young's river, according to an Astoria authority. The Netul riv er is Lewis and Clark river, of course. One ot the "small creeks" running into Young's bay is between Young's river and Lewis aad Clark river, and the Roosevelt highway crosses it on a bridge. But this creek-is to be f!Ilef up. so that tt will disappear from history.) Resuming the record in the Journal tor Saturday, December 7th, 1805, we read: "As we went along the wind was high from the northeast, and in the middle of the day tt rained for two hours, and then cleared off.
