THE CALL OF I'BOGRRSS
There are two things having to do
■with the immediate progress and
velopment of Grants Pass and
tributary district that require
best attention of our people, One is
the giving of assistance in the clear-
Ing and levelling of the lands under '
the irrigation project and the other
the providing of homes for people
who would live in Grants Pass
lands of the irrigation district
held largely by people who have
little or no axparier.ee in the prepara
tion of soil for irrigation. Scores of
people are coming here and making I
purchase of tracts, and would pur

Western Made for Western Fuel
WHY A HARD COAL FUR
NACE SHOULD NOT BE
USED FOR WESTERN
FUEL.
The hard coal furnace, and
all eastern furnaces are hard .
coal furnaces, are built primar
ily for hard coal. When these
furnaces are to lie used in the
West where soft coal is used as
a fuel no change whatsoever is
made in the construction, ex
cept in the grate, where a soft
coal grate is usuallv substitut
ed.
When soft coal is used pull
outs or miniature explosions
will occasionally occur. Tf a
furnace is not built with this
in mind, joints will be opened
and the furnace will soon be
throwin? dust and gas into the
room. This explains why fur
naces are so very much more
dusty here in the West than
they are in the East.
In the construction of the
Western Pipeless the fact that
the furnace wits to be used for
soft coal and wood was the
paramount consideration. First, th«1 doom were so arranged that they would
blow open if an explosion should occur. The doors on the hard coal furnace
lock- when they are clsed, hut the d<!» of the Western act as a safety valve
and protect all joints against excessive strain. Second, in order to make th«*
furnace absolutely dustless all joints were made wedge sealed.
THE WEDGE SEALED JOINT
Hut joint absolutely eliminates all leakage of «lust and gas. Each joint is
made with a wedge shafted groove as shown in the cut. This groove is filled
with asbestos cement and forced into pJace. When the cement hardens no ex
plosion or jar of any kind can drive this cement out. It is a permanently gas
tight joint.

FOI IME IH (IH VIA TERM
In Oregon we elect our county
commissioners, assessors, and school
superintendents for tour-year terms,
and our judges, from justices of the
supreme court to the justices of the
I
peace, for six-year terms, but we
choose our county clerks, treasurers, j
sheriffs, coroners and surveyors for ’
two-year terms. Under a constitu
tional amendment to be submitted
i to the people at the November elec-
■ tlon. the terms of those five officers
are to be extended to four years.

resulting in Inattention to duty and
loan of efficiency.
The public service should be clns-i
sifted under the same practical ten
ure aa private business, wherein com
petent heads of departments are
rated by their ability and efficiency
It is utter foolishness for the people
to lose the service of a good official,
and the proposed amendment will
undoubtedly mean thnt capable men
and women, and candidates who are
desirable will much more readily run
for office when they are assured of a
f<iur-year term In case they are
elected.
The farther removed county offices
are taken front political campaigns,
the better will be the service to the
people. Under the recall, w; have
the machinery to oust an undesirable
official whenever his conduct is un-
satisfactory. It has been done a
number of times in Oregon, and it
has become such a potent weapon for
the safety of the people that officials
are extremely careful in following
the straight and narrow path of duty.
The state of Oregon has much to
gain through the passage of the
amendment, and ft ought to have the
support of every voter.—Oregon City

Detroit, where upwards of 1<MM) Dorts
have been sold at retail this year, furnishes
two striking illustrations of the long lit'«* of
these cal's. William McCaffrey, a contrac
tor in the motor city, bought a Dort roadster
in 191B and in the five years lias covered
more than 150.000 miles. Thousands of miles
have been traveled with a semi-trailer
loaded with bricks, mortar and building
supplies. In the first four years McCaffrey
spent $15 for service work and this year he
had the ear overhauled at a «’ost of $100.
T. C. Burney, also of Detroit, lias driven
his Dort touring car five years, during
which he has s|«ent exactly 60 cents for
parts, mid this not until September.
Mr.
Burner says lie lias driven under all condi
tions and over all roads and taken care of
the ear himself, because it is such an easy
job owing to the accessibility of all parts.
