According to this report, part road men, the .Southern Pacific, aroused by the sudden activity of 1 he Hill lines hi Kastern Oregon, has decided to build a railroad down the Klamath Oliver from Ilornbrook, connecting by the east with the Modoc Northern, and on the west with the Northwestern rucifie, So many railroad rumors have been broadcasted in the past and "'never materialized, that one is fifficinllv Authorized with a L'rain . . . it-port is true or not, there is no faces a period of railroad activity, Next year the Natron Cut-off will be completed. Strahorn is pushing his railroad development to a successful conclusion, ana now the Oregon Trunk, supported by the Great Northern and Nor thern Pacific, has decided to realize the long-deferred dream of Jim Kill, and secure a rail connection with San Francisco from the north. "While in none of these projects will Bedford and Jackson county figure as vital factors, the Rogue leading beneficiaries. For Medford is the permanent distributing center, and commer cial hub of this part of the state. The more the klamath region and the Klamath River territory is developed, the greater Medford 's market and the greater Medford 's growth. More development east and west of this district, means more people and more people mean more mouths to feed, and by the ad vantages of soil and climate, the Rogue River valley must be the oread basket of this Klamath River belt. So, in this good fortune of her neighbors, assured and projected, Medford and Jackson county will find even better fortune for them selves. This railroad expansin, after so many years of inaction only adds more evidence, and unexpected evidence, that this part of the slate faces the most prosperous era of development in its history.

CHARLES CIHGSMITII studies art with ardor, to paint a masterpiece he tries, and makes my hard existence harder by asking mo to criticise. '"Just speak right ojit, your true opinion," he says to me, "don't curb your tongue; if I'm a frost in art's dominion, I want to know it while I'm young. Fair criticism, of my pictures is what I need, to set me right; so hand me out your .sternest strictures, and I'll receive them with delight." 1 know full well he doesn't mean it, a hollow thing is every phrase; how often have I heard and seen it, this subterfuge for gaining praise! Hut since he asks a true expres sion of what I feel about his work, 1 gird my loins and make confession no dare of that sort do 1 shirk.

Colonel Stewart isa man of massive physique. He is an interesting figuro becauso he represents among other things a new trend. He is the law yer in industry. One hears much from time to time of the oil-driler or rigger or prospector who comes to hoad great petroleum combine. But Bob Stewart, up to tho time he became head of the colossal Standard Oil ot Indiana, had never had a day of prac tical oil experience. Colonel Bob went with the Standard OH of Indiana ns general counsel. He was imported from South Dakota to Chicago for the job. That was as re cent as 11)15. Three years later the lawyer from the " plains was mado chairman of the board. Born in Iowa. tSewarf wen to South Dakota to fight for success in the new country. He went via tho law school of Yale University after having first been graduated from Coe College in his native state. Ho was struggling along at the law out In Dakota when the Spanish war happened along. 1 1 also happened that Leonard Wood and Theodore lioosevelt were organ izing a rcuhiK'iit of '"Hough Klders." That suited Boh Stewart down to the ground. 1 U enlisted as a private. When the war was over Stewart wa wearing the insignia of a major. Ite turnlng to South Dakota he was ask ed by the governor to reorganize and preside over the national guard of the state. That is when he got his ti tle of colonel, which has stuck to him ever since. While out In Dakota Colonel Stewart served as state's attorney, as supreme ourt reporter and as a member of the slate senate. His law business prospered. Many ornoratfons soituht his services.

Timely Views on World Topics "America's Two-Party System of Gov ernment IJetter TTian Euroie"s Multi-Party Plan." Richard Washburn Child, writer, traveler and dlplomr.t, pointed out In a statement recently, the advantages. as he sees them, of the two-party sys tem of government In the United States over the multi-party system of Europe. Child was Amer ican ambassador to Italy from 1921 to 11)24. . "The recent dif ficulties of the French and Ger man governments to keep ministries in power long enough! to accom plish any results have now been capped by inabili ties to even form ministries. Under the continental system of democracy, particularly since a so-called peace which attempt ed to stamp tho name 'democracy' on peoples who were neither enthusias- ror mo orann nor pracucea in mo application or aemocracy, tne xauure ot some parliamentary governments povern at all, sticks out ka Europe's sore thumb. which would express the declared will of the people. "In our own two-party system there 'will always be clamorous minorities who say that our government is not responsive. I,ook back on the last 10 years, and ask yourself what reforms which have proved worthy have not been put into effect. We get our way in America under the two party sys tem, nnd that way in the end is the will of the majority. "But, in Europe, where many mi norities are organized Into parties, not only does tho minority fail to get its way, but the majority the tax-paying, worthy citizenry fails also to get its way or to havetronsistent administra tion, or oven to have a government which will carry on decently. Says Majority Pays "Sometimes the organized minorities obtain something. Who pays for what they get? The majority pays. Then another organized minority blackmails the government and perhaps gets something. The platter Is passed un til there is nothing left on It and then government breaks' down. The ma jority pays and pays and pays all the way along. "In all democmcles of the world the organized minority Is the menace of democracy. The organized minority always presents its claim under the banner of benevolence, humanity, goodness, kindness and virtue. But it is the majority man who pays through the nose for all of It. No one has yet devised a government Svhere It Is possible to take out more than is put in." CASH PAID For Second-Hand Furniture and Stoves W. A. KINNEY Furniture House 315 E.

William Brady, Ir ?ar of trill nawapapar. The Cause of In order to avoid misunderstand ing, let us tnke off from this substan tial fact: It never hurts to grow. Even when growth becomes so exces sive as to amount to a disease (for instance, in the con d i 1 1 o n physicians know as gigantism), the 'enormous growth is not pain ful. To call the aches and pains which some children complain of "grow ing pains'- is there fore a mistake, quite as Inexcusable as it fs to ascribe some vague disturbance of health or undiag nosed disease to one's age. ..As for that, the truth" of tho ' matter is that children who actually grow the most rapidly are least likely to complain of these pains In the legs or arms, the majority of youngsters who suffer with "growing pains' being some what retarded in growth. This is rather to be expected, for tho pains are in reality an expression of a dis ease condition which impairs nutri tion and handicaps growth. In the few cases in children two or three years old these pains are caused by rickets. This Is a nutritional dis order involving tho whole system and not just the bones, and its prevention and cure call for (1) exposure of the skim to sunlight as much as possible, (2) sufficient exorcise, and (3) unde naturlzed food, that is, food which has not been robbed of its mineral con tent or its vitamins by processes of manufacture, refinement, preparation or preservation. From 10 to 20 drops of cod liver oil two or three times a day may be given tho child with any indication of rickets, as an effective way to supply the important fat sol uble vitamin A. ' Plain cod liver oil in this way is a good remedy for these "growing pains." Any complaint of such pains by a child should lead to a careful exam ination of the child's heart by the physician. In some cases the vague recurring pains are the only outward Indication of a low grade of tonsil in fection which becomes the septic fo cus or source of that low grade septi cemia or systemic infection popularly known as "rheumatism, " and this type of infection seems to have a spe cial affinity for the endothelial tis sue or serous membrane which lines tho joints and the heart In such low grade septicemic Infections involv mont of a heart- valve is as likely to happen as lameness or Inflammation iny any of the joints, and is ordinarily a painless incident, often not suspected by the parents and perhaps not even brought to the attention of the phys ician unless by chance later in life. In a Vonsiderable share of all cases of valvular heart disease the damage is not recogniezd until long after its occurrence. Any child with "growing pains" and tonsils and adenoids which are dis eased or infected in tho Judgment of the physician should be operated on without dallying or quibbling about fancied dangers of the operation or imaginary evils which come from the loss of these vestiges of useful organs. Although nearly any k mall order or short cut healer in quest of patronage can suggest hypothetical uses or func tions for the tonsijs or the adenoid body In the human economy, no one who has any actual scientific know HOUSE CLEANING i TIME . j Mattresses Made Over Furniture Upholstered 30-3, N.

Some people argue that strenuous exercises tend to strengthen the mus cles and make a person fat, and I am taking exercises morning andevening to reduce. Please straighten me out on this question, as I certainly do not wish to got fatter. (Audrey.) Answer. Frail underdeveloped youths may gain some weight by means of general exercise. Thousands of f underdeveloped young .men, from , stores and offices gained an average' of 10 to 12 pounds in the first few I months in camp when they entered the army. But exendse cortainly never makes fat folks fatter. On tho contrary it can scarcely fall to make them thinner, provided ttfey do not consume a greater amount of food. Mother Moves to Amend. For some time I have read your column with interest nnd approval but as the mother of small children i must voice my disgust at the filthy habit of spitting on the sidewalk which Is so widespread. Were you the mother of a 2-ycar-old who falls frequently you would fully nppreclato what I mean Mjjien I say that this habit is nauseating and disgusting. Men, being naturally more selfish than women, cannot real ize what a horror the filthy condition of our sidewalks Is to one such as my self. Wishing you success and hoping you will always use your great in fluence to help us mothers. . . (H. M. M.) Answer Nearly every civilfzed city has an ordinaneo covering the offense. If I were a mother I should not hesi tate to bring about the arrest of any filthy beast I saw breaking tho law. An occasional pinch has a salutary ef fect on the morons and scofflawa In general. The abuse is all you say, yet I do ont believe it is a factor In the spread of any commuulcnble disease Wisdom of Uie Eldera. Over 30 years ago an old man advis ed me to take a sip of cold water and a full breath through the nose every time I felt the Impulse to cough, and I have followed his advice ever since and have always found it helpful. (S. P.) Answer Such.-iraychology In helpful In certaain conditions hen cougmng is not essential, but would be inadvis able in other conditions when coughing nugnt no very essential. Thus, pa tients In the earlier stages of tubercu losis are generally ddvlsed to restrain the impulse td cough, and they learn to do this with considerable advantage in giving moro rest to tho lungs. On the other hand, many elderly persons subject to chronic bronchitis and bron chlestaWs ought to have a few good coughing spells every day. for -there is considerable material which must 'be expectorated or drained from the chest somehow.
