The enidemie was largely due

clean-ui) campaigns swept
The clean-up movement was stimulated when it began
to lag after danger was over, by the offer of a $1000 prize
by Frank 1. Holland, editor of .Holland's magazine, for
the cleanest city in Texas. All over the state cities joined
in the contest, over ninetv
the final winner, entered.
Entries in the small cities were divuletl into throe
classes- towns of from 5000 to 112,500 population in class
A. towns of from 12500 to 5000 in class J and towns of
from 1250 to 12500 in class O.

Towns were inspected by
the streets, parks and alleys, water supply and drainage,
collection and disposal of garbage, condition of vacant
lots, appearance of homes, ventilation and care of public
conveniences, especially schools, presence of flies and mos
quitoes, handling and exposure of all kinds of meats and

Bonham is a city of about 8000 or 9000 population, half
of winch has been secured in the past live years. It is
well improved and in many respects resembles Medford.
The story of the clean-up is interesting, inasmuch as a
similar campaign is planned for Medford this spring.
As soon as Eonham entered the race the board of trade
took the active leadership in the matter. The board
brought to its assistance the Boy Scouts, the women's
elubs representatives from the negro settlements and the
city council.
The town was divided into sections with a prominent
man in charge of about four blocks, blanks were prepared
upon which every residence was scored. .If the weeds in
the back yard were not cut. that fact was recorded; if filth
and trash had been allowed to collect; if fences were down
or needed repairing; if drainage was poor, or anything was
noticed that could be improved, they were suggested on
these cards.
The most interesting part of the entire clean-up cam
paign camo when a committee of about fourteen women
began the inspection of the business places in the town,
without warning or notice of any kind. The women vis
ited ice cream stands, bakeries, groceries, meat markets
with score cards in tJieir hands.
Texas was much benefited by these clean-up cam
paigns. Oregon will be similarly benefited. Let us not
wait until an epidemic forces action, but begin at once.
Linking the Ends
The Longitudinal Hallway of Cili
is at Init an accomplished fact. The
last rail needed to complete it wns
spiked down on November 23, 1013,
and to show the exuberance of thoirl

used a solid silver spike as the last
one, and helf a general jollification.

is eminently fitting that our governor
