I noticed in n, recent isue of your paper you plead, again for u "city beautiful," nnd which, since our short residence, I have read several ties. .All praise to tho Jfnil Tribune; keep at up. Having traveled in almost every state in the union, I think I feel iomctent to draw comparisons. I also wish to !-ny, from the literature sent to the people of the cast, most beautiful, green, verdure clad sur roundings arc pictured. Imagine oftV disappointment when arriving and going over' the'-eity, stieh a lack of shade trees that it is rather dt.-cour ngtng. That livctt add to a city's beauty cannot he denied. Many easterner, like ourselvus, read of the beauty of the city along with its advantages and some bore in hopes of making it their home. Xow, do not put me down as a kickor, far rather sny u hoostor, for if I would not prefer to boost, it would not fcig nify whether or no there wore trees. The climate certainly is fine I lovo Oregon and regret thai all my life has not been bpent in this God' favored country. Hut lot every one who can help to niako iho city beautiful, and don't forget the trees tis n prime fautor. A I(KAI)!R. THE REVIVAL MEETINGS OF FREE METHODISTS The revival meetings at tho Free Jlcthodiat church continue with un abated interest, though the heavy rains of the hiHt few days lessened the number in 'nttenduuec. Yet a goodly number have buen at the altar and several have prayod through to victory. The vory clonr nnd forceful pre sentation of 13iblo truths by Evange list WhefltlaUc have drawn out tho attendance of many cleitr thinkers. Tho Scriptural evidence of God's purpose nud Christ's power to for give all the wrong past, to purify the heart of tho believer from all ovil passions nud habits and to empower the Christian to livo unspotted from the world, have been so manifested that sovoral have professed to have received Hanolillcation ami the life of the eh'troli has been quickened, and tioiue have boon greatly blessed. Thero will bo revival services o night, Saturday evening, twice Sun duy and probably all next week. Come and hear for yourself. All tiro cor dially iuvited.

UQ1112 PJ J KS with hot- own wings" is iho molto of Oro 5 jrojj, She trios (o -hui; as soon as slw prepares for' a flight, along oonies si supremo court deeision that clips wings hoeoi.no from inaetion almost atrophied "She flies like a booby" would ho a bettor motto. Tho supreme eourt evidently doesn't, intend there shall bo any road building in southern Oregon. Two veal's ago it decided in the Crater Lake road case that the state could not spend any money hero, despite the fact, that tho legis lature had appropriated $100,000 for it. exhibiting its (Solomon like wisdom by declaring that (rater Lake, one of the famed natural wonders of the world, was a local affair. Now, on another pretext (almost any would do) tho county is stopped from spending its own money in highway construction. A story is told of a boy who had spent the day hunting. Toward night ho was seen running at full speed after a rabbit, and was asked what luck ho had had. Ho shouted in reply: "If I eatch this one and four others, I will have five." This boy was a real optimist and it takes .just such an optimist to secure any satisfaction or comfort out of the supremo court's road bond decision. Tho people of Oregon, according to the supreme court, did not. vote to amend the constitution so that counties could build highwavs as they thought thev were doing- hut simply to enable the legislature to enact legislation that will permit counties to act, or if the other construction of the decision is coriect, and people of Jackson county whether the' want roads or not, except at general elec tions. - --i i $ffsr-w At the same time that the court held that an enabling act was necessary to make the highway amendment effec tive, it decided that no enabling act was needed to make the tax amendment effective. Yet in the oue case the people A'oted clearly with the intent of making possible the construction of highwavs, and in the other case with tho misunderstanding that the amendment simply abol ished the poll-tax. There is no telling how the Oregon supreme court is going to decide. In many cases it takes a narrow literal interpretation of the constitution. In other cases it takes a broad construction and legalizes open violations. When the welfare, progress and development of the state are at stake, as in the road bond case, or in the Crater Lake case, it takes the narrow view. "When such momentous occa sions come before it. as raising its own salary and enlarg ing its membership, it takes the broad view. Article 7, Section 10 of the state constitution provides that there shall be "three justices of the supreme court." Article 13 states that "tho justices of the supreme court shall each receive an annual salary of $2000" and Article 4. section provides that the sessions shall be held at Salem. Yet the supreme court which decided against the road bonds consists of five justices, each drawing $1000 a year and holding sessions in Pendleton as well as Salem each separate violation having been sanctioned by the eourt itself as constitutional, Who knows what the supreme court decision means? Attorneys differ and it will evidently require still another decision to elucidate it. And the elucidation will be in the light of the past who can guess? Two and two may bo held to make four or we may be learnedly informe'd, with judicial precision, in fine sounding phraseology, that the solution may depend entirely upon the presentation of the problem, or perhaps such an'authority as Jones Higher Mathematics may be called in to settle the difficult prob lem. - !vyfl$( We may be informed that in the light of well estab lished precedents since "the man runnetli not to tho contrary" that "whereas, one aild one make two it indubitably follows that two and two inevitably make four." "It is true, however," quotes the learned judge, "that Lord Coke in a divorce proceeding made two out of what had been formerly one, but we think the more established and equitable rule ft that two and two make four. Vigilantibus non Dorieutibus." In Maloney versus Me.Ginnity the authority cited by the learned counsel for appellee a somewhat different rule is stated but in the light of more recent decisions on tho subject we are of the opinion that the rule stated in that authority was not well considered, the case will therefore 1)0 reversed and remanded for a new trial." Bound by the red-tape of an obsolete constitution that effectually blocks progress, her wings trimmed by a su premo court that worships at the shrine of the groat god Precedent, Oregon hopelessly flutters behind her sister coast states. Richest of all in opportunity and resources, enterprise futily exhausts itself beating against the iron bi:rs of formula.

Staii-tii, city heallh of ficer, hti4 called tli' attention of the school board to the unsanitary condi tions in several of the city hohools ami to (woMhe Lincoln or North school and tho Jackson school-in particular. Here lh sanitary condi tions in the linsctmMit are very had and tho health officer w demanding that eotiditioiiB ho rceicdiod nt once. At the Lincoln, or North school, the sewerage system Im heen faulty for sonic limn and lm caused more or less trouble continuously, especially duriui; thu wet scwou. The boys' toilet at (his school is unsanitary in the extreme, nud to make matters worse, the play room in the base ment where they eat their lunches in wet weather, aiUiiis it. For some reason the toilet is not drained prop erly. At the Jucksoa school the floor of the irls' toilet is covered with rain water which has seeped through the walls, making it lu'co.-sary to lay a plank on blocks in order that the room may he entered without step ping into water from a half to an inch deep. Throughout the basement water has seeped, making it most unsani tary. At the Washington school the toi lets are also rcxrted to he in a very unsanitary condition. Dr. Steams has called the ntten-H tion of the school hoard to the mat ter. Couditiotin will be remedied at ouce. $20,000 10 FED HUKGRY STUDENTS VIENNA, Jan. .- The city coun cil has appro'priiiti'd .,JI),000 for the feeding of poor sehool children.
