ROGUE RIVER COURIER, GRANTS PASS, OREGON. TTJLY 26, 1907. THE MAIL" SWINDLERS. Bargains For Bumnklna WV Bit at Big Bait and Gat Bitten. X great deal of money la coaxed out tt country communities by the "mall .windier." These gentry not only us ft malls In sending out circulars of fering fake bargains for the unwary, Hit they frequently get their alluring advertisement Into the cheap little nail order Journals which circulate to lotne extent In nearly every communi ty. People should be on guard against ill advertisements which offer an un (easonnl)le value for a little money. The safest way Is to spend the money it home, where you hove a chance to look at the poods before buying. The postoftlce deportment Issues fraud or ders against any Individual or concern ffliicli Is discovered in the practice of nslna "le mails to swindle, but fre quently these swindlers rake In much money before the malls are closed to them. The average swindler who uses the ma.U is u wily fellow. lie has learn ed the art of wording bis offers so they attract the remote anil Indiffer ently educated, and so plausible do his statements sound that he finds easy i:id ready victims. One is frankly "amazed at the credulity of the human race. .V typewriter company of Xenr York induced persona to send $2.ri0 m a guarantee of good faith In n "copyltg it li line" scheme In which Hie purchas er was to have a typewriter and 500 iheets of paper and copy letters at $2.50 n thousand. The typewriter proved to be a toy affair that was use less for the work. The purchaser was out about $2 and the firm In that much. One clever New York firm bought up t lot of letters from an agency to get addresses, theu wrote each person that he or she had won a prize which would be sent on receipt of $1.37 to "cover cost of boxing and packing charges." Each delighted person Invariably sent the amount and received a piece of cheap Jewelry worth a few cents. A bluing company offered a "new auto matic tension sewing machine" to per sous selling thirty packages of wash blue at 10 cents apiece. The machine proved to be a toy affair, and the let tor In answer to a woman's threat to sue Is filed away as a mark of genuine cleverness on the part of the artful dodger who originated the scheme. Bogus detective agencies were thick In the land for awhile. For a certain sum of money they would send a star, certificate of membership, credentials, etc., to the purchaser, and not until the astonished victim had been hauled up before unfeeling magistrates for car rying a gun or for Impersonating an of- Hm, 1 1 A fA 1iilr1na f a i II- Mallva that he had been the victim of a scoun drel. A SHOPPER'S COMPLAINT. Mrs. Jonas Found 8alsmn In tho Homo 8 tors Too Easy Going. A woman who Uvea In a thriving town about twenty miles from a big city was accosted at the railway sta tion the other day by a dry goods mer chant In her town, who Inquired: "Why have you quit trading with us, Mrs. Jones?" The reply was not what the merchant expected. He knew that Mrs. Jones for some months past had been going to ttie neighboring city to buy the goods she formerly bought of him, and he suspected with good reason that she was even then watting a train to take her to the city on a shopping errand. Mrs. Jones, who had known the mer chant for years, said: "I am going to toll you exactly why I do not trade with you any more. It Is because several of your clerks seem to have too many friends around here. When I go Into the store, I naturally expect to be waited on at once in case THE MASK OF HEALTH i few People Are Kealy as Well i T. ,,, r. S a. They Look.

A few repetitions of that sort of thing naturally made me less eager to do my trading here, for I knew that I could go to the city and find the salesmen eager to wait on me."

The following communication was handed us for publication by Health Officer T. M. Proragold. says' the Sen eca (111.) Itccoiil: Our village has again been renovated of garbage and refused materiality, but In meandering we find n few who have neglected to remove or burn the brush necessary to their part, and a few others who have already thrown garbage, feathers and ashes, etc., on the alley, which is now forbidden. Ab solutely nothing is permitted to be thrown on alleys, no waste of any kind should be put on alleys or streets dur ing the summer mouths. It Is all against the rules, but nevertheless some marshal their facts, cram the categories and construct arguments on the lower planes of conceited vanity. Tet there Is something significant as well as pathetic In humanity's good ness to Indorse the true, tho beautiful nud the best. It Is not an accident uor an Incident, but a passion of undaunt ed courage to clean up. Those who have cleaned their lots and their homes have done honors which speak home to the heart that cleanliness Is not a broken fragment of sweet Il lusion; but a fact of harmony in the aspiration of sunshine, which makes Its essential element a truth, leading from dismal gloom to delightful dctv tiny.

TALE OF WIDE TIRES. Praotioal Plan For Highway Super visors to Follow. A good and practical suggestion to road supervisors and others who have charge of road maintenance may be found In the following tule of the use of the wide Instead of the narrow tires, says the Good Itonds Magazine. The story was told to Paul P. Sargent, highway commissioner of the state of Maine, by a county commissioner of the same state: "The heavy teaming in our town Is coufined mainly to the three miles of dirt road, over which lime rock is haul ed from the quarries to the kilns. This teaming hns been done for years on two and five-tenths inch tires, with hind wheels fifty-six Inches and front wheels fifty inches In diameter. "The resulting repairs, made neces sary by the continual hauling of heavy loads on narrow tires, has cost this towu thousands of dollars. In order that this might be remedied Ave made an agreement with the lime rock haul ers U furnish them with the wide tired wheels fitted to their wagon- axles, with the understanding that if upon fair trial and experiment they should prove to be of mutual advantages the haulers should buy the wheels of the town. "On consultation with the liintiiifac- Hirers we ordered the sizes above KvtM (roar wheels, fifty-six Inches; front, fifty lnchesi. They arrived of July anJ from that time until about the 21st of August I used my best endeavors to get them adjusted to the wagons and mlt tha haulers claimed thut the fortv'.four Inch wheels were so much 1()wpr thai( M om.g tuut tuo rockH and ruts would 'trig' them; also that they would lower the body so much that the tongue would 'shit' and break the horses' legs. And who will pay the damage? was the question. "As a last resort we put the wheels on one of their wagons nud hauled rock for them one day. Our teamster huiilcd the same loads and followed In the old trucks. The roud was in a very dangerous couditlon ut this time anil uuuiy rmieu, u iu - drivlug wagons sank to their huls m ! wheels for one day the owucr of the . .1 - ..,,l,.4ktlf ' ...!. without brakes In .... ... i...-. i... tires sooner. . . ... i i. ......

WHAT ONE SOCIETY HAS DONE Progressiva Citizens of Crossklll, N. J, Organize an Improvement Associa tion and Accomplish Wonders Depot Grounds Transformed Trees Saved. Only a few months ago three com muters living In n small Jersey town met on a train homeward bound from New York. The conversation soon turned to the subject of Improving their town. "What Cressklll needs is au Improve ment society," one of them remarked. Nothing mora was said on the subject, aud they left tho train for their homes. A few days afterward another Cress killite nift the maker of the above re mark, and this conversation ensued: "Iid you say that Cressklll needed an improvement society;" said be. "I did," was the reply. "Do you mean It nud would you be willing to help In forming oue?" "Certainly. I will do all 1 can." A meeting was called for the pur pose of organizing an Improvement so ciety, and nine men responded to the call. After a brief dlscusslou a presi dent, vice president, secretory and treasurer were elected and the society launched on Its career of good work. At first the membership was limited to fifteen. The dues are 25 cents a month. For some years the citizens of Cress klll had been trying to have an extra train stopped In the morning bound for New York, but had failed. The improvement society at once tackled the problem, arranged meeting be tween their representatives and an Erie railroad ollMal and soon secured the premise of ;ui extra train. The meet-in;.-, at which the needs of the coin-ni!!te--t v.v! thoroughly discussed, was ver.- pie., int. and In a few weeks the extra tr:l:i stopped nt Cressklll and has been well patronized. This shows what a little organized effort will do. The Interest tu the society grew apace, and soon the membership limit was raised to twenty-five. More offi cers were elected and the good work pushed along. One of the principal streets In the town Is well shaded by an avenue of fine trees, forming a very attractive feature. The electric light wires were so strung that they were slowly, but surely, ruining the trees. A commit tee from the Improvement society call ed the town council's attention to the condition of the trees and requested them to urge the electric light company to prevent their wires from touching tho trees throughout the whole bor ough. The request was well received, aud soou the electric light men cut off all the branches that were touched by the wires, and the trees have been saved for the enjoyment of all. This action no doubt brought the so ciety prominently before the public. One of the coiiucilmen, who Is also a member of the Improvement society, agitated the observation of a cleaning up day for the whole town. He urgiil It among his friends and fellow council men. The mayor Issued a proclama tion urging all the residents ou May 11 last to clean up around their homes in the morning and to assemble in the afternoon to beautify the grounds nroiiud the depot. Quite a large num ber responded, and n great deal of good work was done. Through the generosity and the en terprise of the councilman mentioned above over "i"! flowering sbrillis of many kinds were planted and beds laid out In the park like grounds about the depot. An expert landscape gardener superintended the work, while the cit izens assisted III digging, planting, rak ing up rubbish and trimming the edges of the beds. In two days a common place piece of ground was clmng.sl Into a pretty little park, which Is Improving all the time. The council has place.) the Improvement society In charge of this park, and It will be kept up and improved as the opportunity offers. Nearly evcrvlxxly In town has talked about the change. Such remarks as "Well, the edd town Is waking up at last." "Quite an Improvement," "Looks fine" and "Good day's work for Cress klll" wero beard. Young and old, men. women and children, turned out to see the change. Commuters fro-n neigh boring towns commented favorably on the change. What Cressklll has done any town run do If only a few determined ikm ple will baad together aud revive to do what they can In the line cf Im provements. The force of a g'.d ex ample and determination not to be easily discouraged will work wonders. AH the society's niemlieni vie with each other In keeping their own grounds clean and Improving them, thus setting an example thnt Is lieln? followed by other residents. Cans for waste paper and fruit peel ings will be placed in different parts of the town. It Is the Intention of the so ciety to Interest the school children ra the good work. AH moneys of the society are to be spent on tov.a improvements. The meetings ore held ot the homes of the members tw!?e n month. As soon as all busluesi bis been transacted a Jolly heart to heart time la enjoyed. Thus another pleasant feature bss been added to the town's social attrac tions. The old rtllablo The Wookly Oregoniaa. That our American forests abound la plants which possess the most valuable medicinal virtues Is abundantly attested by scores of tha most eminent medical writers and toacbers. Even the untu tored Indians had discovered the useful ness of many native plants before the advent of the white race. This Informa tion, imparted freely to the whites, led the latter to continue investigations until to-day we have a rich assortment of most valuable American medicinal roots. Cv O 'O Dr. Plrce believes that our American for ests etird In uot valuable medicinal roots tot tbe cursf most obstinate end fatal dtf ean.
