Haod River is planning a new court house. $1.30 per bushel for club wheat breaks the record. - Much mif.letoe was shipped out of Oregon this season. Oregon counties will be represent ed at the Panama Fair. Spencer's shingle mill in the Alsea country starts sawing. Nebergall Bros, will erect a meat packing plant at Albany. Grading on the Willamette Pacific will be finished by Feb. 1. Nine buildings destroyed by fire at Gresham are to be rebuilt. A phone line is belns promoted from Medical Springs to Baker. Taxes all over the state of Oregon generally are lower than last year. A building permit has been issued for the new $37,333 armory at Eu gene. Bids have been taken for 450,000 tons of rock for the Columbia jetty next year. 06 horses were shipped by express from Pendleton to Denver, probably for European armies. Portland Baggage and Omnibus Transfer Co. has bought a block and will erect a plant at Salem. A Supreme Court decision releases $25,000 to be expended on the Ban don harbor. The ice cutting season in Eastern Oregon is on a month earlier than usual. From Jan. 30 to September 30, 1914, the state spent $3, 369,738 on roads. Chas.

C. is proud of the new $100, 000 gymnasium with the most com pletely equipped boxing and wrest ling rooms on the coast. Plans and estimates of cost of ir rigating 200,000 acres of land in the Upper Deschutes River basin are be ing considered by the government, estimated cost $2,929,000. The Portland Railway Light & Power Co. predicts that with tlie de cisive defeat of radical legislation at the last election and with the 5 per cent advance in freight rate, 1915 will be a prosperous year in Oregon. The time has arrlvevd when big business is going ta-iiivestigate the government and see why two bit pol iticians are allowed to expend public money in a reckless manner and charge the government 20c a mile railroad fare when traveling. If reg ulation is good for business why not for government. The Spokane Spokesman-Review, in speaking of the coming sessions of the Oregon, Washington and Idaho legislatures says: "Economy must be the watch word. The legislators will do well to remember always that they represent, not themselves, but their constituents. The people are likely this winter to keep close tab on their legislators. It is their duty and their advantage to do so." WHO KJVOW8 OV A CMPPLEI) CHILD? County Superintendent S. E. Not son has received an appeal from the Oregon State Federation of- Women's Clubs asking him to tell their hospi tal committee about any crippled children In this country who could be aided by a state-wide organization to furnish free medical treatment of the most modern scientific kind in all cases where the family income is not sufflclent-for expensive consulta tion with specialists. The Federation, which includes a hundred women's clubs in all parts of the state, asks anyone who knows of a little victim of an accident, of spinal meningitis, of Infantile paraly sis, of tuberculosis In the bones or joints, or any other crippling cause, to write the details of the case to Mrs. Millie R. Trumbull, Secretary Child Welfare Commission, 250 Third Street, Portland, Oregon. The club women maintain that these little cripples, besides being the most pitiful of all cases of help lessness, and besides being entirely without organized assistance in con trast with the great state institutions which care for the deaf, the blind the feeble-minded and even the delin quent, are also the most curable if treated in time, and the most able when so treated to make good, strong useful citizens instead of charges on public charity all their lives. Olii:., THl ItSDAV, Jan. 7, 1I5. NORTHMEN IN AMERICA. Scandinavian Blood Mixes Freoly !n Our Molting Pot. SiaiHliiiiiviaii linnilijranu iu America -nntiTes of Sweden, Norway mid Den nisirk now number a million and a quarter. Yet it is only sixty-four years slme tliu first of these newcomers, straggling in after the visit of their Swedish nightingale, were known as "Jenny Mud men." Edward Aylsworth Iioss, in the Cen tury, estimates thut, counting direct Immigrants and their Immediate de scendants. America now holds a quar ter of all the Scandinavian blood iu the world. He quotes a Norwegian economist who says Ids compatriots own in this country property corresponding in val ue to the entire national economy of Norway. Today two-fifths of the people of Minnesota lire of Scandinavian strain, northern Iowa and the Dakotas are deeply tinged, but Washington and Or egon have as much of the blood as the Dakotas. Noisy industry has called many northmen to Pittsburgh, but four-fifths of our Norwegians were in 1900 still outside the cities, most of them clinging to the soil. Our Dunes are courteous, pleasure loving, though moody, running to mod eration in virtues as in vices. The Swedes are mure polished than the Norwegians, and have a notable love of letters. The Norwegians bear the stamp of a more primitive life, but have more pride of nationality than the Swedes and get into politics sooner. SOUND UNDER WATER. It May Be Uted In the Futurt to Meaiura Ocean Depths, Alexander Graham Bell, the Inventor, told a class of young studcuts at Wash ington recently about putting his head under water and striking two stones together beneath the surface.. "It sounded as if a man were hammering for all he was worth at my very ear." Next he scut a boy a mile away to strike the stones, and "the signals came perfectly clear and distinct." In these little facts, and the other fact that, sound goes over 5,000 feet a second through water to its 1,000 feet through air, lay for somebody the germ of the submarine bell signals used on ships. Now, Iu exploring the earth's sur face as it lies under deep waters, a great deal of time and labor Is expend ed merely In ascertaining the depth. "Why," asks Professor Bell, as re ported in the National Geographic Mac- nziue, "should we not send down a sound Instead and listen for an echo from the bottom?"' thus accomplish ing in four seconds a work now taking sometimes more than four hours. Ab'U we should learn by the shorter method' something of the nature of tilings below. "A flat bottom should yield a single sharp return, whereas an undulating bottom should yield a mul tiple echo, like that heard when you Are a pistol among hills." Stupidity and a Balloon, The real cause of the destruction of the Forlanlni airship Citta di Ml'.anc is attributed by the London Engineer to the stupidity of the country folk who rushed to the spot at which the airship descended to repair a leaky valve. The soldiers who manned the vessel could neither drive the crowd back nor induce its members to stop smoking. It was necessary to deflate the balloon. As the great bag fell over toward the crowd a series of ex plosions took place, and in a few sec onds a great blast of flame shot sky ward. Thus perished a most success ful dirigible airship, which had cost about $80,000, the money being raised by public subscription in Milan. London Now Eats Flowers. The most up to date hostesses now provide not only the ordinary buffet or hot supper for those who grace their ballrooms mid reception rooms, but vegetarian tables and nutriment for the votaries of the latest craze flower eating. At a recent ball In Belgrave square supper consisted of a plate of specially forced chrysanthemum petals with n sauce piqunnte, a salad of lily of the valley blooms with mayonnaise, roses' a I'oi'iontale (arranged with a delicious sirup) and violets in mur iisi liino. The latter was really an In novation and a trifle too strong for the strict flower eater. London DiSpatch. A Bellini Museum. The city council of Catnnia, at the foot of Mount Etna, Sicily, Is making efforts to acquire for the sum of 12,000 lire a number of Bellini relics now the property of a member of the Astoi family to serve its n nucleus for a Bellini museum. The municipality is also endeavoring to get possession of the composer's house, which is today Inhabited by a tailor. The Passing Years. Richard Cleveland, son of Grover Cleveland, Is one of the American delegates to the International educa tional conference at The Hague. Does it make yon feel old? Some of us who do not know we are very far advanc ed in years can remember when Baby Ruth was a national figure. And there was no Richard Cleveland then. Hart ford Times. "Wake Up" by Telephone. In London a man who wants to be awakened at a certain time can call np central on the telephone and leave his number and the hour. At the pre cise moment his telephone bell will ring, and It will keep on ringing until he answers. The charge for such a call is 6 centa. SAFETY FIRST Are You Supporting the "SAFETY FIRST" Movemeat?
