CIVIC AWAKENINGS. a Gnaral Cleanup Is of sidsration. Many are the anxious Inquirer who apply for Information as to the first wVli to attack la the fight for civic beauty. The question is usually of only local significance uud may be solved by those Interested If they will but ob serve the most pressing needs of the community. As a rule, notning win no effectually and so cheaply Improve a section as the cleaning of streets, park ways and vacant lots. This accom pllshed. an air of geuernl thrift and cleanliness la at once noticeable by all. whether residents or visitors. Individ uals will catch the fever, and a general cleanup of private premises will still further Improve the scene, says the Los An'-'eles Times. Some funds will Ik needed for the public work, und these may le ohtiilued by starting un liupr ivement association with u low meinliership fee. and the or,';uilz;itioi need not live beyond the cleanup pe riod. Whether the assoclutlou Is to Is' made pennunent should Is- gauged by the Interest uud enthusiasm manifest by the general public. If only a few are Interested the fight for permanence will prove u hard one. hut If euthusl asm dominates the whole people do not rest with a simple cleanup, which Isonlv a negative move, hut engage In some perniuneut Improvement looking to the lieniKirjiiig mid lettering of the whole field under consideration. Doubt less the easiest task and the one most productive of lasting results lu propor tion to the cost Is the planting of street trees. If money Is only ou hand for a single block of planting, do not be ills couragfd. but make this block coin plete mid orderly, and It will then not prove so hard to add thereunto. At this stage of the game some enthusiastic, energetic workers will be needed tc fan the feeble spark Into an active flame. If you can get one street plant ed you cau eveutually and in the neat future secure the adornment of all. Any community with well planted streets la well on the highway toward the goal of the city beautiful, and less difficulty will Is? experienced with every successive step. SCHOOL GROUND BETTERMENT What Can B Dons to Mass Common Property Attractive. While we are imbued with the gar dening fever let us look to the district school yard and uote if it baa all wv could wish for In the way of plaut life. If not. what can you do to make it more Interesting, instructive or at tractive? Of course there are school yards where there ia not sufficient space for Bowers, others where the school board has covered the garden space with temporary buildings and still others where they have built bc ugly and unsightly or tnsulliciently as to disgust the neighborhood residents, who will do nothing until the wrong Is righted. As a rule, however, school yards In general are capable of pleasing ef fects by the Judicious planting of tree, shrub and. vine. Where such is the case it is well to bear In mind that It Is the one piece of neighborhood property In which all are interested, all have a common ownership and tb-it upon all Its condition reflects credit ot criticism. What Is the condition of your sch(Hl yard? Can you Individual ly or with your neighbors collectively do anything to improve It? If so, act that It may tie a credit and a comfort to you and yours. C.

The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of the Oilman Bed Kock Mining Company was held at the office of the company Thursday. August 27th, the following directors being present L- F QlluaD R Wendover, A. E. Voorhien, H. L. Herzinger and J. M. Harlow; abient C C. Clark. The minutes of the orevious meeting were read and ap- nroved. President Oilman reported on the progress of the work at Galice. There are twenty men now at wora. the steel for the big ;m ichine is all on the ground and is being assembled as fast as potsiblle. It is einected tbtt initial operations will commence on Mondav, September 21st. The stage of water in ttie river is lower now than it has been for a number of year past and the machine will go into operation nuder tne moat favorable conditions. There were a large number of stockhlders in attend ance at the meeting and Mr. Gllman suggested the idea of putting in a wing dam just below the point where the machine is to start work. A wing dam at this point ia made possible at this time owing to the extreme low stage of the water and he would be able to dry about 60,000 feet of turface at an estimated extra expense of about 250, and after considerable discussion in which the stockholders themselves were allowed to participate, the opin ion of each one present was obtained ami showed a unanimous vote in favor of patting in the dam, provided it would not in any way retard the work of getting the machine into operation. It was therefore decided to go ahead with the wing dam, which will be completed by Saturday, September 6, and, inasmuch as the machine will also be In operation during the present mouth, it is expected by some of the more etbnsiastio that it will be possi ble to pay a dividend at the next meeting, which will be held on the last Thursday in October. The report of the secretary, was iu the nature of a report of receipt aod expenditures since the company was incorporated on March 20th, np to the date of the meeting, and showed prao ticilly all bills against the company have been met and that the company will be aHe to go into actual operation without owiug one dollar. There were 8220 shares of stock unsold, which will probably be disposed of befoie Septem ber 5th, after which time no stock will be available. The proceeds from the Bale of this stock will amply meet alloulstauding debts and an offer was made by one of the stockholders pres ent to take up all the stock which re mained unsold ou Setebmer 6th at the present price of the stock 25 cents per share. Th"re will, however, re main in the treasury 10,000 shares of stock which is to draw a divideud the same as the stock which Is issued, the surplos ou which is to be used to build further inachiues for operation iu Rogue river, aud it is expected that at least six machiues will be in opera tion inside of tbe next eleven months. J. M. Harlow was elected vice pres ident uf the company aud the meeting ad jour m d after quite a nubmer resent bad increased their tnberipions. K F. WENDOVER, Secretary.

A dollnr spent In your own town Is a dollar saved lo the community. The purchasing power of money spent around yourhome is much more than Its purchasiu power If spent away off yonder. It buys the respect of your neighbors and a standing for yourself us u loyal citizen. It Is funti.v to hear a fellow preach aud prate about town loyalty when he makes a habit of using the mail order catalogue us his saleslady or sales man. Now. isnt that a fact? Maybe the reason that young fricud of yours resigned his Job in the local store and moved to the big city is that you have been helping to build up the city stores at the expense of the local stores aud your young friend's sal ary at home suffered, accordingly. Idd It ever occur to you that the torn uiuulty feeling, so to speak. Is the thing that makes life worth living in any town? By the community feeling la meant, of course, that condition where nelghliora are mutually depend ent and helpful, one recognizing the right of the other to be considered first in any deal rather than an outsider, and vice versa. And the motto of the community feeling la this: "i'atronlze home industries." If tbe mail order trade ia hurting your town, and In all probability It is and you know It la, suppose yon pause moment and ask yourself what part of the Injury you are Inflicting. Why ot?
