rEN THOUSAND DESERTIONS.
Army and Navy Force Is Greatly Di
minished.
More than 10,000 men deserted
from the army and navy of the Unit
ed Stales last year, says a Washing'
Ion dispatch. Of this number 625S
left the land service without permis
sion and 3998 abandoned their war
ships. A force sufficient to form
seven regiments of Infantry and to
man six first class battleships de
clined to continue to wear the uni
form of the government
, It is a condition of affair so
alarming that it has received the
earnest consideration of the president
and the secretaries of war and navy
and caused the adoption of a more
considerate attitude toward enlisted
men.
"Fighting efficiency," which I the
sole , purpose of the military and na
val policy of the administration, 1
to be Interpreted In a new way. Be
sides training men to handle Ihetr
weapons effectively, It is proposed
to give them an additional Incentive
for Improvement and for remaining
In the sen-Ice by providing, in a more
satisfactory way, for their well be
ing, to be lenient In punishing their
faults, and to give them every op
portunlty to enjoy rational pleasures.
In a word, it la the happiness of tbe
enlisted men which will hereafter
will he one of the prime consider'
tlons of the administration.
The seriousness of the situation la
accentuated "by the fact that the
number of re-enlistment is so small.
The number of enlistment In the
navy last year was 11.418, of which
only $218 were re-enlistment. The
army aocepted 16,1 $4 recruit and
re-enllsted (849 veterans, Thla mean
that both the army and navy are
constantly dealing with the problem
of training new men, which produces
more or lees demoralisation and to'
ability to reach the high standard of
efficiency which the foreign service
have attained. .

Oregon Crop and Weather Conditions
Are Favorable.
The weather during the week was
very favorable. Following the rains
of last week there were from three to
four warm, sunshiny days, which were
followed Thursday by Increasing
cloudiness and light showers In the
eastern counties. By Friday the rain
area had spread to Include practically
all sections of the state, and the show
ers were not only heavier, but In some
places they were attended by thunder.
The rainfall was continued throughout
Saturday and Sunday. The rainfall
was heaviest In southern Oregon and
the Columbia River valley.
In the districts where the droughty
conditions were only partially reliev
ed by the rains of last week, the rains
of this week have been sufficient to
wholly break up the drought, and the
situation Is greatly Improved. The
temperatures averaged above normal
and It was unusually warm during
the fore part of the week. During
the showery period the afternoons
were cooler, but there was very little
change in the night temperatures.
The average amount of sunshine was
below normal, and there were no
damaging frosts or high winds.

to Appi'tilse Hulli-oad Properties
Relieved by Many Conservative Re
publican That Roosevelt Will
. Adopt tiovt-rnmeiit. Ownership of
Hallways.
Is President Roosevelt seriously
considering the adoption of govern
ment ownership as one of his re
form slogans?
This question Is being asked by
fi lends and enemies of the presidept
since the publication of an Interview
from I'.. S. Orosscup, western coun
sel for the Northern Pacific railway.
In Seattle.
That the president Is seriously con
sidering this step Is believed by
many conservative republicans who
havo 'read botween the lines of a
number of his recent addresss on.
railroad regulation.
President Roosevelt told me that
he Is considering advocating the ap
pointment of a commission by con
gress to appraise the value of rail
road property In the United States,"
ald B. S. Grosscup, general Western
counsel of the Northern Pacific rail
road nnd leading corporation attor
ney, on his return from tht east yes
terday, says n Seattle dispatch.
"The attitude of the presldenfls dif
ferent from that of western state
legislatures, hi that he Is not In favor
of estimating merely the cost of re
producing the railroad property.
Roosevelt Is willing .to give the rail
reads allowance for the energy, en
terprise and patronage entering into
the business.
"While 'In Washington? conversa
tion with United States Senator Dan
iel and others revealed that the gov
ernment control of railroads would
be the big issue of the day and show
er! a surprising abandonment of par
ty lines.
"The railroads will curb expendi
tures as much as possible till after
the presidential election. Two solu
tions of the railroad question will be
national Issues. Flther states must
abandon attempts to regulate rall
ronds by legislation and turn the mat
matter over the national government
to reeulate rates on an equitable ap
praisement of value of railroad prop
erty, or there will be government
ownership. This will Inevitably fol
low a refusal of the state to turn
over control of the roads to the government."
The American public Is clamoring for desirable men to
represent them In governmental affairs and their .en
treaties will ultimately result In a complete victory for
clean and honest polities. If you are clamoring for high

crowned with success by patronizing us. .

Osteopathy
ON CHILD DEVELOPMENT.
The Imxrtnnoe of Attending to Little
Structural Defects Lent More Seri
ous Troubles Follow.
All of us know how proper train-
Ing helps In the development of child
character. In Just as large a measure
proper examination of the child'
body, and correction of its faults by
osteopathic manipulation, will help to
build up a physique that parents and
child may be proud of.
It Is sometimes the case that a child
develops nn evil habit of posture, with
the result that after a few years have
passed It becomes apparent that a per
manent bad figura Is likely toresult
The, earlier tendencies of this kind
are attended to the better: for It 1
obvious that as years elapse they be
come more fixed and therefore more
difficult to correct. It is often the
case that a child could be saved from
having stooped shoulders, sunken
chest, or other defect, if the matter
were placed In the hands of a compe
tent osteopath who understands the
measures necessary for the correction
of these things.
Not only Is the form of the child
Important, however. It has been con
clusively proven that these irregulari
ties In the figure which sometimes
seem to be only slight defeots and of
no very great Importance are often
the real cause of weaknesses or ten
dencies to diseases, even when no con.
nectlon between the two things Is ap
parent to the lay observer.
Children who are perfectly formed
frequently enjoy good henlth during
the vigorous out-door life of child
hood and then develop disease tenden
cies later that may readily be traced
to the structural defects which had
previously not seemed to be of great
Importance. Osteopathic practition
ers are constantly proving these point
the disease disappearing when
structural cprrectlon takes place; but
It Is of course only reasonable that
such re-adjustment can be accomplish
ed more quickly and readily In childhood.
