LAND PRICES VERSUS LAND VALUES. - It seems sometimes like a waste of time and of apace and of patience to dwell daily upon the need tor action la the beet sugar campaign, or to detail how other communities have found progress and ' prosperity through cultivation of the root. Yet It is A matter to Titally important to the Rogue valley that it amounts al most to a question of life and death. The establishment of the factory will give the lands a producing value that they do not now have. By this is sot meant that prices will soar upon the hooka of the assessor or of the real estate dealer, but that they will have a""value to the holder upon which he can realize without selling them, to some easy mark at twice their cost Too long have western communities tried to find prosperity through boosting land prices without regard to land values. For in the end it is value and not price that must determine the issue. If there la provided a ready and a cash mar ket for some product of the soil at figure that assures an adequate re turn for labor and investment, then j .... ... . .,, .,. i regardless of the market price of lands, and less land win be offered for sale. More people would come into the community and market would thus be provided for other products and a contented and pros perous community would be found. The trouble with the Rogue valley is not In production; it is in market. The beet brings its market with It LESSONS THAT ARE UNHEEDED. Legislatures spend weeks of time in discussion and enactment, boards and commissions and courts of in quiry are organized to probe the questions having to do with public safety and with the welfare of the youth of the land, but in the face of It there comes periodically such a calamity as the burning of the school at Peabody, Mass., to point out the Inefficiency of it all. There was a school building housing nearly a thousand tots from 8 to 10 years of age, a veritable fire trap, yet with out a fire escape or a means at hand for removing the children from the building in case of a conflagration. When other recent disasters have oc . curred sermons have been preached upon the criminality of having doors open Inward In buildings occupied by large bodies of people. When the boys end girls attempted to find their way out of the burning school, doors that opened In stopped tbem as ef fectually as a rat Is held in a trap. They were not killed by tho Are that destroyed their little bodies, but by the people responMblo for tho condi tion that held them back for the ' devouring flames. There are too many boards, too many ronimlsHloiifi, too many courts of inquiry that do their work after It Is too late. There will now come extended reports from those probers, but they will not re tnove the crepe and the mourning from a half a hsndred sorrowing koines.

Schillings Best The worst errors of England and of France In their struggle with the central powers have not been those upon the field of battle. They are errors in diplomacy, errors that have shaken the faith of their public in the efficiency of the heads of the government and that thus impair the morale of nation and army. The defeat of the Slavs in Poland "with its thousands of dead upon each aide was not so severe a blow to the triple entente as the diplomatic defeat in the Balkans. EXPECT GERMAHY TO OPEN WAY FOR PEACE III EUROPE Washington, Oct 28. Peace talk again la in the air. Hopes of an early official discussion of possible terms for settlement of the great world struggle have been raised. Ger many is expected to broach the sub ject. It became known today that state department officials expect a reopen ing of the peace discussion. Care fully guarded inquiries are expected as the first sign of the belligerents' willingness to talk terms. The conference between Ambassa dor Gerard and Kaiser Wllhelm at Potsdam Monday is regarded here as a peace indication. That they dis cussed peace officials hoped and be lieved. Though he has not thus far done so, Gerard is expected to make an early report to President Wilson concerning his conference, with the German ruler. Berlin dispatches from United Press Staff Correspondent Ackerman said the whole German-American situation was discussed and that from Gerard's attitude afterwards it was gleaned their meeting had been sat isfactory. Provided it develops their discus sion turned toward a settlement of the war, a "feeling out" process to determine whether the allies are like wise in a receptive mood as concerns peace will undoubtedly follow.

HALLOWE'EN' LARK AT GOLD HILL Gold Hill, Ore., Oct. 27. Hal lowe'en observance in this city this season will not be confined to the frolicsome forays of the small boy or bis elder Imitators. Doubtless the person's whose front gate was miss ing last year will again hold the an nual Indignation meeting with his neighbor whose cow was pastured on the shed roof. Tbe Greater Gold Hill club realizes that Its jurisdiction does not extend to the correction of such matters. While its members do not openly ap prove of the mischievous manner of celebration they were once boys themselves. The general approbation of the club for some saner form of obser vance Is shown in tbe announcement of a Hallowe'en ball, to be held next Saturday evening in their dancing pavilion, which has been completely enclosed and will be heated for the winter season. Quaint favors In the likeness of witches' caps will be given' to the guests, while the hall will be decorated In keeping with tbe mystic eve of hobgoblins and happiness. All proceeds of club dances are used for the promotion of progress in the valley, and the pleasantly In- j formal affairs have become quite the ifad with the southern Oregon social 'set. XO PEACE FOB ENGLAND TILL ALLIES AGREE London, Oct. 28. "Certainly not," Lloyd-George said today In the house of commons, In reply to a. question as to whether or not unofficial ex changes with a view to peace were In progress between London and Berlin. He declared that Premier Asqutth's pledge that there will be no peace until Europe's freedom has been guaranteed still holds goon. iCHA.MHKItLAIVFOK ! EXl'OItT TAX OX MUXITIOXS Washington, Oct. 28.

Crying and protesting, they crowded the windows, while the flames and smoke came dangerously near. Others jumped. Tots Jump Into Blanket Below strong men tried to catch them with outspread overcoats. By this time blankets had been brought. Forming a ring, men held firmly to the edges of the improvised nets, saving scores of children as their bodies hurtled from the windows. Many were injured In leaping. Blind ed by the thought of flames licking up behind them, crying despairingly, they did not stop to see where res cuing hands were outstretched. There were no lire escapes. " Tbe children were trapped. Push Ing, terrorised, through the smoke and flames, many reached the main door only to find It Jammed with bodies. It opened Inward. There was no chance for the panic-stricken children. They were compelled eith er to Jump from windows or perish. It was a pitiful sight when fire men finally forced the main entrance. There, piled up behind it, were char red and crushed bodies. Some of the children had suffocated. Others were crushed as tbelr schoolmstes trampled over them in tbe terror of death. Features Show Terror of Death Many could not be recognized. Others, whom the flames hsd not seared or the heels of fleeing com panions had not crushed, showed the agony of , death on their features. They were twisted. They showed the horror of seeing death coming up in a cloud of fire, with life and safety just the other side of a door that swung the wrong way. Facer, of some of the children were burned to a crisp. With arms ex tended and cries to nuns or parents on their lips, they virtually roasted to death. . Tbe structure was merely a brick shell, with an Inflammable Interior, and no fire escapes. The fire roared like an oven when It got under way In the wooden Interior. The build ing, erected six years ago, was the largest school in the city. CLUB WOMEN AT. FEDERATION MEET ELECT OFFICERS Salem, Oct. 28. Mrs. C. H.

Then the players, men and boys, lined np In two rows facing each other. Each carried a whip ornamented with fiber tassels, those of the two end players having whistles attached. A gentle stumping besau. which grad ually grew louder till the earth seemed to throb. '" : ' Shouts of "Yu au!" rang along th line, and the players waved their whips and swayed gently backward nnd for ward as they atamird. Presently the two end wen pnaed down ben .tu the rows, while those lined up moved slowly In tbe opposite direction. In rotation the other pairs of men did likewise, aud then tho whistle men ran swiftly to their original place. The stamplug Increased In fury, apd tbe whistlers whistled at each other In wild excitement. , They raised tbelr whl and feigned to lush out at each other without much hurt. Tho women ran up and down the rows offering their rnlnbashts of "pal warle." and then the real whipping be gan. ,tit" Two men challenged each other to a contest, and the row retired, still stamping. . The whlppers. splendidly built fellows, stripped save for loin cloths, were thrilling sight ss they cautiously judged their distances, let ting their whips Just touch each other's legs. Then one of them stood firmly and half turned away from tho other. Im mediately bis whip sang through the air and came down on his opponent's calf with- a crnek. The vHIm did not flinch, but Joined bis whlcr In a wild sort of dunce. Again and again he submitted to the lash, nnd then It was the other's turn I cannot say who won bath were iitoles of tremendous endurance. I would have called the bout n draw. Then the two whlppers retired to an sdjolnlng but. where they Indulged freely in "pnlwarte." nnd others of the challenging rows took their places In tbe game, which lasted until the rows were exhausted.
