Full lMiicd wire Associated Treas dla-patohra. ASKS COOPERATION IN CHAPEL PLANS AT CRATER LAKE To tho Public Oregon 1ms been Riven ono of tho jrrontest natural nttmctions in the world and tho general government roeoguizca this fact by undertaking to develop it on comprehensive plan of improvement. For nil timo park and improvements Trill endure, but tho fact still remains Hint there nrc ce'rtnin tiling tho government vrill not provide, bo that individual effort is necessary if the nro to be obtained. There nro many such thing to ac complish, if future generations nro to profit thereby, but of ono only have wo to do at this time. There is no present provision for the accommodation of religious bod ies, or for religious services, except in tho open nir. To remedy this evil I have nrrnngod to gather together thoso interested in the matter, for the purpose of considering n plan for the construction of a permanent building or chapel. If constructed at all, it must be open to all shades of religious belief, without prejudice or hinderance of any sort, and under the immediate control of the department of tho in terior. I believe money can be ob tained for this purpose, if an organ isation' ran bo brought about, that bhall manifest a brond spirit of toler ation, but there can be no interfer ence whatever, one with another, of ipeet or sinner. The Jew, the Greek, tho gentile, tho Catholic, tho Prptcst ant and tho sinner must meet on terms of amity, and each sect, even tho sinners, must be permitted to wor ship God according to tho dictates of their own consciences. If you can meet with us on this platform and work harmoniously, you aro invited to come to the As sembly room of tho public, library rn Tuesday ercniiif February 10, at 7:30 o'clock, to oonsidor ways and means to tho end. WILL G. STEEL. The Night Drive (By IJon II. Lampman in tho Gold Hill News.) Homebody cried in tho dark, it flashed on a wire through tho rain; tho room was warm froni the shift ing storm he look to tho road ngain. Tho sorrels lunged through the dark a slather of mud and foam thoy caught tho urge with n rush and surge on tho long road from home. Twenty miles to tho foro is a, shack where lights burn dim; tho black night reels to tho clicking heels somebody sent for him. Somebody sent for whom reckless of storm or clock! The lounging jake at tho corner spake "Somebody's sick . . . that's Dee!" Somebody cried in tho dark, it sped on a wire through the murk: it's open the door nnd out once more thai is it doctor's work.

Never in vain is it sped n father of mud and foftoi, tho twrrola swing o the sum moning on the long road from home. Weary he Jookji in tho dawn, groy ns the deadened ash-r-yet his is the debt "we would forget, or pay in paltry cash J .Always they send for hint lWklttwB of dorm or nlock tho black Mlakt'ti iroal is a straining soul '."Sonwbody's. skthai'a Dee!"

The defeat of the apple box bill in congress is cited as an example of the enmitv of the democratic party to tho Rogue River valley fruitgrower, and we aro asked why Jackson comity republicans should continue to vote for members ol a party so canous 10 uieir interests. It requires sonic stretch of imagination to figure tho apple box bill as a party measure. Indeed, vital as it may be. it is not of record in the platforms of any party. It is one of those numerous measures that concern the general public only incidentally, and is left to the representatives of interested localities to be placed upon tlie statute books. Our contemporary remarks: For several years now tho fruit growers of southern Oregon liavo been working for a standard apple box bill, Hut, thanks to the Uomocrotlc ma jority In congress nnd tho efforts of Majority Leader Underwood, this bill waB recently unceremoniously "Interred In tho parliamentary cometary" along with tho rural credit bill and othor desirable measures. The apple box biilj or a similar measure, has been be fore several congresses, republican as well as democratic. The fact that it has not been enacted is due solely to tho inefficiency of our representation in congress. This rep resentation is and always has been republican. Tho pres ent bill was fathered by a democrat, Raker of California, because of the inactivity of Oregon representatives. A study of tho Congressional Record of January 13 and 14, 1915, reveals why the bill did not pass. Page 1578 re veals the following situatien: The apple barrel bill was before the house, and there had been a filibuster against it, extending all afternoon, which required five separate roll calls before the majority was able to force a vote. After the vote was forced, with democratic leaders voting for the bill, a motion was made to adjourn, with Messrs. Haw ley and Sinnot both asleep at the switch. Lafferty was absent as usual. Had anv one of the three made the effort, the apple box bill would have been passed with the other bill but the psychological time was allowed to slip by without protest. The following day Sinnott woke up, though Hawley was still asleep. Realizing tho situation, Sinnott made, for the benefit of his constituents, Ins post-mortem speccn, which was printed locally. The reply to this speech, which good care was taken not to print, explains the reason why the bill Was not considered. Senator Chamberlain, a democrat, is now holding up in the senate the apple barrel bill, which passed the house, and when it comes before the senate Chamberlain will propose, as an amendment to it, tho apple box bill, which Oregon's republican representatives failed to secure con sideration for in the house only one of numerous in stances where a democrat in the senate has made good tho failure of .republicans in the house. It is quite possible that when the apple barrel bill is reached by the senate that it will be sent back to the house with the apple box amendment tacked to it, and probably passed by the democratic majority, whereupon, as usual', we will read a bombastic telegram from Hawley saying: "I have secured the passage of the apple box bill." This helps explain why Jackson county republicans vote for democrats they are intelligent enough to vote for the best man, regardless of the party label that he wears. They place personality and principle above the sounding brass and tinkling cymbal of partisanship.

"Ypres", beaten back from the fccnitlil which it attained around the year 1IU10, ever dropping lower in thu sealu of importance, U today appar ently facing the last few scenes of its tragic decline. For weeks Yptvs has figured prominently in tho war dis patches, as Germans and allies have rolled in alternate destructive waves over its site," says a statement is sued by tho National Geographic So ciety today. "Ypres was formerly the capital of West Flanders. It U situated II,") miles south of Ostfnd, on the Ypcrleo. The town lies in the midst of a fruit ful region, which is drained swamp and marsh land. Since tho flooding of the country ns a war measure, tho swamp land is today as it was in the middle ages. Itlvnl of lU-uge "In tho fourteenth century Ypres rivaled Hruges and Ghent. It wns one of Europe's great cloth-weaving centers, n citv of vast wealth, and one known everywhere through tho excellence and nopularity of its prod ucts. In its prime it was a city of 1100,000. Prior to the war its popu lation numbered 17.000. "Tho cloth-making industry of Ypres dates back to 10"fl. As this industry grew and skillful weavers, dyers and finishers were gathered to the city, Yprc came to occupy in the woolen and mixed fabric world 'much tho same place that today Notting ham takes for tho manufacture of lacn curtains or Lvous for tho mniiii fucture of silk. It U said that by the first quarter of the thirteenth ceil tun- pres hud -1000 looms going constantly.

Tho Flemwh nnv numbered '20,000 citizens of Ghent. Hruges and Ypres, nnd the French. 7000 knights and -10,000 foot Holdiei. "Several popular rising"', the fenr ful ilai!tio of 1317, and then a wild bacchanal of wart blighted the hopes of Ypres, sapptylyts. s'rengtlu de stroyed its iudit-try, killed off and scared away its 'people, ruined it homes nnd, finally, broke its spirit. The ro-establi-hmonl of an indepen dent Helgitim found it hopelessly beaten in the struggle for prosperity and prestige. "Cotton, linen nnd woolen cloth nnd laces nro still manufactured or were before tho war in Ynrcs, but it is now just one of n multitude of tex tile towns, nnd the world today will toko littlo notice of the manner of its passing."
