CIVIC AWAKENINGS.
a Gnaral Cleanup Is of

Many are the anxious Inquirer who
apply for Information as to the first

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

cleanliness la at once noticeable by all.

uals will catch the fever, and a general
cleanup of private premises will still

Los An'-'eles Times. Some funds will

these may le ohtiilued by starting un
liupr ivement association with u low

the Interest uud enthusiasm manifest

whole field under consideration. Doubt
less the easiest task and the one most
productive of lasting results lu propor

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

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.

Firrtc, HOLD A MEETING
President Gllman Stale Machine
Will Be in Operation -About
Sept. 21.
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.

Homo Trad Truths.
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?

eopyriekt,
Mr. Swell Dresser:
When you send your little men to school
you wish for them to have on good clothes don'
you?
To wear good clothes is a good habit. Is it
not well to begin good habits young?
Your little man will study his lessons better
if he has a bran new suit.
