But it was not on the high moral grounds which, we surmised yester day, actuated tbe opponents of war that Mr. Lane acted. Conscience may have had its place with some, but with the Senator from Oregon, ac cording to newspaper reports, the question was not one of conscience but of following what he asserts to be the wishes of the people of Ore gon. We believe that Mr. Lane is wrong. We 'believe that the people of Oregon wish an end of the Ger man curse and that if waging war by the United States will end that curse, they want war waged. In short, we believe that Mr. Lane misrepresents the wishes of the state when he votes against war under the present ciri cumstancs. To show him that he is wrong, the people of the state should write and wire him at once, that he may know just where they do stand. BONDS FOR BONDS. (Oregon Journal.) It will be wisdom if Central Ore gon communities insist upon bonds rather than stocks in return for their contributions in aid of the construc tion of the Oregon, California & Eastern railroad. Railroad bonds are first liens against the railroad's property and draw a fixed rate of interest. Stocks, while an evidence of ownership, give no certainty of return. Their value is dependent on the management of the enterprise, the development of transportation and other conditions. Municipal bonds are being sold by several Central Oregon commun ities in order to provide funds with which to aid railroad construction. Interest must be paid on these bonds which must also be retired when due. The interest rate on railroad bonds is higher than on municipal bonds and if the Central Oregon towns receive the bonds of the Ore gon, California & Eastern railroad, they will be able to pay not only the Interest on their own bonds, but leave a surplus to be placed in a sinking fund for the retirement of the bonds. The Journal believes that Mr. Strahorn will find it good policy to offer the bonds rather than the stocks of the O., C. & E. in return for com munity contributions and at a rate and on terms no less advantageous than the game securities will be of fered to camera investors. FUEL FOR THE KM Mountain of Coal and a Sea of Oil Burned. Up Yearly. THE USE OF OIL IS GROWING. EVANGELIST TELLS OF "LOCOED" PEOPLE Last night at the Baptist church Evangelist Marshall spoke on the subject, "Locoed Folks," explaining that the word "locoed," often used of wild horses, means crazy. Dr. Marshall said, in part: "A good many churches are locoed in the sense that they have a great and worthy task to perform, but either fail to recognize it, or elBe to do the work. Preachers are, also, some times locoed. One who tries to de stroy the value of the Bible, the great Book of Life, or take from it the "blood of Jesus Christ," which was Bhed for the world, Is locoed. Chris tians are often locoed and some of them are In Bend." Preaching tonight at 8 o'clock will je by Dr. Marshall, t It Mere Effioiant Than Coal. Effeota a Saving In Fir Room Complamart and la Cleaner to Handle Coaling a Ship at Sea la Moan Work. Figuratively shaking the United States nary consumes a mountain of coal mid a sea of oil every your, ami the full question might without levity be called a burning one with tho navul officials at all times. No nary lu tbe world has glreu tho problem of coal supply, coal capacity and sjiocd in coaling ships more atten tion than has that of the T'nlted Stales. Coal used by the navy department for our fleets comes from the bltumln oua regions of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. This coal U shipped from tbe mines to the coast. the principal tidewater porta on the Atlantic coast being Philadelphia, New lork and Hampton Itouds, Va. Gov ernment colliers carry the coat from these ports to the various coaling sta tlons of the nary hi Atlantic, Pacific and Asiatic waters. The chief coaling stations are nt Bradford, In tbe state of Rhode is land; San Francisco: Honolulu, Cartte, P. I., and smaller stocks nt Ciuantana- mo, Samoa and Guam. Tbe supply at these stations Is kept up to the reuulr. ed standard by frequent shipments from the Atlantic seaboard ports men. tloned in naval colliers or lu chartered merchant vessels. The nary staudard coal used by the American fleet meets the highest tests for steaming purposes, for it gives the largest percentage of "steaming ra dius" per glreu quantity of coal. Tho navy must bare clean, dependable coal. for it means miles and, as far as pos sible, preservation of machinery. Coaling at sea may well be called the nightmare of tbe navy. Every mau on board, both officers and enlisted men. dreads It. Laborious, tedious and nas ty. It is an unwelcome duty, to be performed as quickly as possible and then forgotten with ferrent sighs of re lief. Tbe coal Is lifted from the collier's hold in huge buckets raised by der ricks, which carry them to tbe war ship's chutes, tbe coal being dumped in great piles on deck, whence it Is shoveled by the men Into tbe chutes.' Trimmers down in the bunkers do their part in properly distributing it Tbe work Is heavy, dusty and dirty. and rolls, hot sausages and coffee are served to the men every two hours during coaling. To further stimulate them the ship's band often plays stir ring airs. When a warship is in port she is coaled from barges lying alongside, the coal being lifted by derricks in huge bags which bold 800 pounds of coal each. The battleship Arkansas can stow 2,754 tons of coal and the Texas 2.000 tons. Tbe use of fuel oil In the navy is increasing yearly and will continue to increase, as tbe new ships, especially the new dreadnoughts, consumo oil, and more oil burners are planned for the future. According to the nnry department. there Is much to be said lu furor of oil. It effects a considerable reduction in flreroom complement. It Is more efficient than coal In that 200 gallons of oil (two-thirds of a ton) do the work of one ton of good coal, and there is a great deal of refuse in coal (ashes, etc), with much additional loss due to fine particles of coal going up the stacks unconsumed. Tbe United States nary has two oil supply ships, the Kanawha and the Maamee, each of them capable of mak ing fonrteen knots an hour and carry ing 7,654 tons of fuel oil. Oiling a ship does away with much of the labor and all of tbe dirt so trying in coaling. In port the problem of pumping the oil from the huge tank on dock into the pipes on the side of the vessel Is com paratively a simple one. Supplying oil to a ship at sea, how ever, is not yet satisfactorily settled. Experiments in fueling ships at sea with oil form an iniiortiint item in navnl Btrategy at this time. Just what has been accomplished in this matter of exiierinieiitation may not yet be di vulged. Providence Journal. CITY OF THE FUTURE. Vision of the Chang That May Com Through th Motorcar. Segregation of trulllo wan practically unknown before 11HK1. When the mo torcar caino it was obvious euougU that the eight m lie un hour truck and the twenty mtlo nil hour pleasuro car could not simultaneously run on the aiinio densely parked avenue. Not tho fastest, but tho slowest, vehicle deter mines tho apeed of a congested street a trulllc. This conclusion then Is Just I' fled: In tho city of the future there will lie separate streets for tho fust pleasuro or tmsscngcr motorcar aud for tho slow commercial motor truck. Moreover, trucks are Increasing In weight ho that ordinary lavements cannot support tho heaviest that cau ho built. It is very evident tbut the city must provide one typo of atrcet for the, fast pleasuro car and still an other for tho heavier, slower truck. New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Low don, Pari and Berlin hare found sub ways preferable to elevated structures for rapid transit railways Tor very much the same reasons that confront ua even now with the Increasing use of tho motorcar, and wo may expect that motor truck subways will be pro vided In tho congested city of tho fu ture. There are straws enough to show that this is the tendency of thought among municipal engineers. It becomes safe to prophesy that the city of tho future will provide high ways for its heavy motor trucks deep lu tho ground. Swift passenger motors will sccd along In the aunshlno unob structed and umlclayed. 1 So the city of the future, the city that the motorcar will bring Into be ing, will lie pleasantly different from that compact aggregation of towering office buildings and dwellings ainte(l by romancers. It will be an oien, sunny city. Its outskirts thirty miles from Its commercial center: its suburbs. If suburbs they can be called, sixty or a hundred miles distant aud easily reached by trains perhaps twice as fast as those which now convey us to our work. There will bo no alums in that motor city, for slums are created by high land values, which cannot be lev eled so long as this is a horse ruled world. The home building Instinct, an lnetluct as natural as tho nest build in; Instinct of a mated bird, will be easily satisfied. That follows from the more equable distribution of land val ues which the motorcar will bring about and from the ease with which a man may Journey from his house to his office or to a distant railway station. And with that change there will be satisfied tbe craving for the oien nlr, for trees aud flowers, for starlight and moonshine, for outdoor games and the full enjoymeut of nature. Only In tho heart of the city Itself will there re main In subways for trams and motor trucks a reminder of the life we now lead. And even there the simclous pub lic squares and the fine, smooth wide streets, necessitated by many parallel streams of speeding ears, will faintly recall the constricted city jiassogcways of the present.

Ouu of the II est sm prises awaiting the tourist from tho northern lieuil sphere In to II ml that Australia unit New Zealand may not bo grouped us two Islands of like appearance, differ ing mainly in hIxo, near neighbor which may ln treated as it unit. New Zealand is nearly twice lis far from Australia us llermuda la from New York and Is not only east, but ulso south. Four days' travel across a chilly ea la required for tlio traverse from Wei. Ungtou to Sydney, and after excluuig tug tho chill midsummer climate of the New Zealand lake region for tho beat of Adelaide one readily accepts tho evidence of tho map that tho south, era const of the Australian mainland him the latitude of central New Jersey, while l ho sunt horn most of tho three Islands which compose the Dominion of New Zealand occupies tho position of southern Newfoundland. In climate and vegetation the two dominions ore as unlike as Norway and South Carolina. New Zealand Is a land of mountains, gorges, rivers and fiords. The higher peaks of tho South Island are eternally snow capped, and (he glaciers of Its southern Alps rival those of Switzerland. The surrounding sens are too cold for cornlB. Among the mountains of tho NVrtli Island vol canlc fires am still active, and the geysers aud hot springs are little less Impressive than those of the Yellow stono park. Tho aboriginal Inhabitants of New Zealand at the tlmo of their discovery by Captain Took were tho most advanced of all tho south Paclllc races, while tho aborigines of Aus tralia are the lowest in Intelligence of all human being. Australia is In no sense Inferior to New Zealand In geographic Interest, but lofty peaks, profound canyons and active volcanoes are lacking.
