GRAFT VICE IS GENERAL A Writer So-ys ll Permeates All Classes. "Grafting threatens tlie very life of the nation, " is tho caption of an ar ticle which apiarcd in a recent is sue of tho Brooklyn Eagle. After calling graft "tho meanest and lowest form ol tliiiivery," the EagePs special writer says: "Grafting is by no means confined to the petty and wholesale robbing of the community by public officials. There is the gr tier who ia false to the interests of his employer; tho grafter who uses his position with a corporation or company to a dishonest eud. In every Drancli and nullifica tion of (he business, financial and in dustrial world is found the grafter, mug of face, discieot of iougue a snake warmed In the bosom of the one he systen.atially plunders. This spoliation has becconie the besetting and siiani'ful tin of the American people. "There is hardly an occupation or profession which does not affor.l op portunity for graft. The timo lias como when graft is a recognized and conventional factor in determining tho incomes of those who profit there by. If tho Benedict Arnold! of a city the sia of New York or Chicago were to march in solid rank past the re spective city halls, it would take them long to pass, and it is feared they wonid be greet d and applauded b y throngs of envious and admiring followers. " Wo may accept it as a self-evident proposition that the nau who buyt His way into ollico Intends to steal hh way out of it. These are tlie pro fessional grafters; they mako no pre tenses of a hue-spun morality. Hut iqnally dangerous and far nioro des picable aro the grafters who pose as resjiectalilo members of society. Tin grafter of the slums lias his counter part in the genteel, educated character iiMiroudeluth, who prates of patriot ism mid asks the b.esHings of Provi dence upon his peculations. "This is the ouly nation in the. world where the holding of a public olliee raises a suspicion as to the character of tho Incumbent. We have not enough civic pride to outweigh tho energy and tho iiiHui nco of the grifter. Since this astounding and b plorabhi state of affairs obtains in no other nation, tho inference is clear Unit wo have reached a low moral plane. "The grafter is an effect, not a cause, llo is the retainer of dishrnest liusines interests; the henchman of those so carried away by the lust of greed that they do not hesitate to plunder their fellow citlzoi.a through the bribed co-operation of those who aro elected to protect their interests. "Powerful and seemingly unas sailable as is this alliance between criminal interests nnd criminal olllcials, it will be ground to jxjwdur when once the American people rea lize tho nl in in.) which has cropt upon them Thero is brewing revoluton atiginst venalty, whether of the tap room or tho counting room. Wheuil hursts it will nil tho jails with strangely asserted criminals. " Lel&nd Slftings. Our bnrg is full of new people. Henry Lee made Grants Pass a business trip lust week.

THE "BLOCK BEAUTIFUL." llrookJrBs Plasi te lapnrt mad B-aatlfr the Tows. v Village Improvement societies that And It difficult to Interest their citizens In town beautifying might adopt the Brooklyn "block beautiful" plan to good advantage. The scheme started on one block in the City of Churches last year, bat was soon taken up by other residents, and much was done to Improve and beautify the town. The movement ia to be extended tbls year, and already the Heights branch of the Women's Municipal league, which Is the moving spirit In the matter, Is at work among the residents of the city, particularly in the Heights section, and urging the extension of the work be gun lust year. The object of the league is to encour- ag-o the beautifying of tbe city as far as possible, and one of the means adopted is the planting of trees, shrubs and vines and cartjig for and protect ing those already growing. The league in its work prooses to secure permits for nil those who may desire to plunt trees In front of their residences and to ndvlse with residents on the best kind of tree to plant nnd to give sugges tions for the further beautifying of the exterior surroundings of the bouse as may lie desired. The league will also advise concern ing window boxes, which add material ly to the bennty of the house, giving hints as to their color and general de sign, so as to harmonize with tbe ar chitectural appearance of tlie house. Another scheme which the league Is promoting Is that of turning the yards in the rear of houses Into gardens. The7 plan Is to do away with the high' board fences that separate the yards and In their places put a small wire net with a mesh of handsome design and by the planting of shrubs, flowers, grass and the building of arbors, cov ered with vines, to give the yards the appearance of small parks and afford a delightful retreat during tlie beat of the day. AMBITIOUS TOWNS. Ever? Child llaa llaalc Aeeoant la Muai, Belgian. Ambitions of towns ure as remarka ble as those of men. Of course, nearly every Municipality desires to be pros perous, have flue schools, libraries mid parks and Increase its population. Many go beyond these ordinary am bitions. For Instance, the town of Muns, in Itc Igluiu. 1 1 desirous of abolishing pov erty within Its borders, snys the New York World. To this end every child Is olllflally registered us soon as It Is burn nnd u bunking account opened In its name by the municipal authorities with a deposit of '2(1 cents. When the youngster attains his majority, a little nest egg it waits biin to ussist his start ing In business. Block. In Holland, aspires to the dis tinction of being the neutest town in the world, and certainly no expense Is spured to make It so. The 2,700 inhab itants are so strongly bound by munici pal rule that to throw a piece of paper or waste of any kind In the public stieet entails a twenty-five cent fine, nnd It Is only recently that horses have been allowed In the streets. Once a year every house Is visited by the town cl-aners, who scrub It from top to bot tom. Inside nnd out, without any ex pense to the tenant. The chief desiro of Baron, in Chile, Is to be known as a second Loudon, ii -id within the Inst, decade money litis been poured out like water to make It on exact replica of the Itrltlsh capital. The streets have teen laid dofcu and limned lifter thoso of London, while four competent architects were sent over to stntly London's principal build ings In order that they might be repro duced In uilnhiture. Now, to crown all. a sum of $1,000,0(10 is being spent In diverting the course of the river I'rahl In order that It may run through the town and be rechrlstened the Thames. A TOWN FOREST. otI Kiprrlmrat llrlas Trlrd la llranawlek. Ale. Ilrunswlck, Me., Is probably the only town In New Knglund that Is raising a forest of Its own. The town owns g large common of about l.nuo acres, Commonly known ns the Plains. Sev eral years ago Austin Cury. a Howduln college graduate, wl o is uu expert In forestry, after looking the ground over, decided that It would tie an excellent place to sturt n forest to be owned by tbe town. Tlie Plains are In most parts covered with a growth of scrub pines, snys the Boston Globe, and lu the open spaces Mr. Cury, with a corp of assistants, bus been settlug out w hite pine trees. J'or several years Hie town appropri ated $100 a year for the purpose, but lust year only $."sl was appropriated. The work, however, w as carried on the same us before. Mr. Cnry's report on the work done lust year litis Just lwen innde public. It is divided Into four parts, planting ou the lMnliis. maintaining two nurseries sown the yeur ts'fore, measures for tire protection and the Improvement of the tJuelH'rry cmp. It states that there are now 2il,ii0 while pine trees growing on the common besides a blueberry plantation of some thirty acres. IteMinve fie Krapcs. There should be no feu.as unless there Is reason fur It. Some person seem to want fcinvs Just for the pur pose of having theia. Of themselves fences are neither ornamental nor de sirable. The stns't mid tlie walk stitll elently define the place. A wall may mean seclusion, nud It may easily be made a part of the architectural fen tures of the place. Walls usually work well lulu the planting designs of a liotue grvuud, but fences r a rely do. Broke Into HU MouM. 8.

INVESTED IN GOOD STOCK And Now Has Ve-lue-blo Hold ings. G. II. How laud, is feeling pretty good over his mining investments in Southern Oregon, says the Medford MalL Something over a year ago lie was pnrsuaded by n friend, John F. Wickham, to invest f l."00 in tlie stock of the Alameca mine in Josephine coonty. His investment called for stoca at 20 cents per shaie. At the time he invested, Mr. Wickham guaranteed him a profit of 25 per cent within six mouths. Within three mouths lie was offered -JO cents per share, or an advance of 100 per cent. That looked good to Mr. How hind and he invested 1000 more. The other day the company made arrangements for tho erection of a plant wiih a capacity of 1000 tons of ore per day of the Improved Mineral Hmelter Com pany, whose process has been Very successful In treating the refractory ore of this section. The Alameda contains one of the large.st bodies ot ora on the coast. It is an extension of the iamoa Pig Yank ledge oi lower Kogue rwer, nud, while the ore is low grade, there are almtst limitless quantities of it. The com pany has two tunnels ou the ledge, ono 700 feet and the other 800 feet above tho bed of Rogue river. Iu neither one of these tunnels have the walls of the ledge been etruck. The ledge is cut by tho river, which thus gives a depth of 1000 feet at. least. The Burface work shows a width of 12S feet and a length of 4000, and it. is estimated that thero are 550,000,000 worth of ore iu sight.
