And when things take n nasty tuni

Don't stop the game to argufy,
Don't blame it on the Umps.
ON 13 of Motif orcl's most urgent needs is nn mlcciunlo
building law and a oompotont building inspector.
The attempts made to remodel old buildings on promi
nent corners to secure exorbitant rentals upon slight in
vestments, instead of building creditable business struc
tures, has about reached its limit. There seems no way
under present laws to stop it.
It is bad enough to remodel frame shacks by cutting
them half in two. Though unsightlv and an eyesore, this
does not endanger life, but the effort to modernize old
brick structures by removing part of the foundation wall
is a matter of public eoneeun, as the collapse of such a
structure might entail great loss of life.
A case in point is the Adkins block on iMain and Cen
tral avenue. This three-story structure was built in 18SS,
one of the first brick buildings in the city. It bears no
evidence of having had a penny spent upon it in the line
of improvement since its erection. Its safety was ques
tioned a few years ago, and an inspection made with a view
to condemnation, on account ot a bulge m the Central
avenue wall. The investigators concluded it had been
built that way and was, for the time being, at any rate,
safe.
A few weeks ago work was begun to put a modern
front in the building. The walls in front and on the side
for a space of approximately 20 feet were removed. Struc
tural iron posts and beams were used to replace the brick
taken out.
The building has the appearance of settling. The up
right iron posts are not plumb and do not line. Rig cracks
have appeared in the brick front between second and third
stories, and another and wider crack has extended into
the adjoining brick building. The bulge in the side wall is
very noticeable.
While there may be no danger of a collapse of the struc
ture, an investigation by competent persons should be
made, and if not safe, the building condemned. The city
cannot afford to take a chance when human life may be at
stake, no matter whose property is affected.
There may be, probably are, other instances deserving
of notice, other old structures on the verge ot collapse,
some of them due to the efforts to remodel instead of re
building. In all such cases an expert should examine
buildings and pass upon the proposed alterations before
permission is granted to make them.
This is a subject deserving of immediate attention, and
one in which delay mar result in fatalitv. Not onlv old
buildings, but new ones, should have rigid inspection of
materials and methods.
Action todav mar save funerals tomorrow.

SAFE AND SANE FOURTH
PLANNED FOR GOTHAM
NEW YORK, Juno 30. New York,
the biggest city in the United States,
is going to be the quietest, relatively
speaking, on the Fourth of July. The
"safe and sane" idea, tried for the
first time here last year, worked out
so -well that it is to be put into full
effect next Tuehday and woe betide
tho "Young American" whose mis
guided patriotism or whatever it ;s
that produces 'noise on this day
gets the better of him and he goes to
zip-bing-banging.
Really the program nrrnnged for
this giddy town is so old-fashioned
in many of its features and of such
a somnolunt tone throughout that
ono wonders how it was that such a
progrum was ever conceived. The
official celebrations will end nt noon
nud tho afternoon will be given over
to sports but even hero the police
will be on watch to see that the
usual bedlam of Fourth of July
noises, is absent.
DROWNED CHAUFFEUR'S
BODY IS RECOVERED
GRANTS PASS, Or., June 30.
Tho body of John Powder of Port
hind, who was drowned two weeks
ugo, has been found below Hell Gate.
Powder mid his brother, Antone
Powdor, und a uoinpnninu, Paul Steir,
wero on thoir way down Hoguu river
on nn outing. They bought a boat
hero, but wore warned not to try to
make tho trip, us tho boat was too
small, but being accustomed to tho
wntor they thought they would ho
Bfe. Thoy loft Grants Pass about
two weeks ago and had no mibhaps
until thoy struck the second rifflu
below Hell Gate, where tho boat cap
sized. Autono Powder and Soir
Huved themselves.
Tho body was in such had condi
tion that it hud to bo buried at oneo.
John Powdor wns a chauffeur for the
Mnrshall & Wells company of Port
land. His parents live at 022 Lowis
street, Rookford, 111,
THERE is a tliirtj- years' war for every uniformed sol
dier on the face of the earth against the mosquito
alone. The struggle would be attended by all the adven
ture, excitement and risk of actual warfare, says Dr.
Woods Hutchinson in a recent article. It would develop
to the full the military virtues of courage, initiative, dar
ing and devotion. When it was ended, instead of destroy
ing tens of thousands of human lives, it would have saved
millions, and would have added nearly one-fourth to the
habitable and productive area of the globe.
Turn every battery of artillery in the world against
that angel of pestilence, the common house-fly, and in ten
years he would be exterminated, root and branch. With
him would go half of our fifty thousand deaths in the
United States every year from the summer diseases of
children, two-thirds of 'our dysenteries and cholera mor
bus, and one-fourth of our typhoid, with not a little of our
tuberculosis, our tetanus, and our boils and blood-poison
ings.

Discontent Among Producers.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Juno 30.
Letters are being received today
hy the constituent companies of the
Independent Oil Producers' Agency
offering to release its members from

bors of tho agency to grow discon
