As a test of Intelligence bridge affords evidence that convince everybody who Is good lit It. Another advantage of old Dob bin was tlint any argument with a lucomotlvo made him worth n lot more. , A SUBSCRIBER, in answer to our Sunday editorial Ktatinst that local labor is beinsc exclusively employed by the Cali fornia Oregon Power company at Prospect, came into the office today, with the license numbers on six California cars, one Wash ington car and one Illinois car, as refutation of such a claim. As 7(H) men are employed at Prospect, a tolal of eight out siders is not a had proportion. We referred this report to offi cials of the power company, however, and they have started to check them up. Jaak Thompson, in charge of this construction, declared that his order to give preference to local labor was a strict one, and that if lie found it had not been carried out he would take sum mary action. J f ,1K FURTHER, explained that there were a few cases wjiere 4 former employees of the company had gone to other states, returned here when they heard of this new construction, and had been engaged because of their familiarity with the work. It has also been necessary to call in a. few trained men from the out side for special technical work, and he believed these two facts would explain the outside cars enumerated. Mr. Thompson 'stated that before any applicant for work can secure it, he must prove he is a resident of Jackson, Josephine or Klamath counties, the local territory where the company operates, and that preference is always given to married men with families to support. ', WE CALL attention to this fact for it illustrates how misap prehentions may arise, when based upon incomplete in formation. When the work at Prospect first started a represen tative of the Mail Tribune investigated the system of employ ment and reported the. system explained by Mr,, Thompson was being scrupulously carried out. Incidentally, he found scores of men, thrown out of work when the Owen-Oregon mill closed down, placed upon the Copco payroll. The contention, we made therefore, that this Prospect con struction, at this time, is of vast benefit to Southern Oregon, and will continue to be of great benefit, as long as it continues, was absolutely correct. ' ' ' 1 ..'" '';, . INCIDENTALLY, if Clovernor Meier had not. vetoed the bill fit the last legislature, allowing the California Oregon Power company to construct n $5,000,000 unit in Klamath County, there would be another large payroll in Southern Oregon now, to re duce unemployment at the present time. As everyone knows, because of this veto the payroll will be transferred to the state of California. ' ."..', Perhaps from the standpoint of those who behove in public ownership and operation, "cheap light and power at no cost to the taxpayers,'' his veto was justified. We are not regarding the matter from the standpoint of, politics, hut from the standpoint of good 'business from the standpoint of dollars and cents at the present time. 1 , i .'

Inglla Milton, contesting the Park ward at tho recent munici pal ward election returned his ex penses to the town clerk's office. Milton stated that he puhllKhctl no election address and addressed no public meetings. Neither, so far as he knows, did any of his supporters solicit votes on his behalf. Incidentally.

Oh, it's n great world, mates! If you don't happen to np: prove of EVERYTHING (iovernor Meier does, if you have the temerity to question the wisdom of some of his official acts, while approving others, then yon are a member of that iniqui tous ring of journalistic corruption. the subsidized mess. According to the best information we can obtain, to subsi dize the press "is to purchaso newspaper support and assist ance by t ho payment of a subsidy." Now that is a very serious charge. And we don't believe a man of Mr. Hobnail's standing would make that charge against any portion of the Oregon press, without some evidence to sup port it. MIGHT WE THEREFORE ASK, NOT ONLY ON HE1IALF OK THIS NEWSPAPER, BUT EVERY OTHER NEWSPAPER IN THE STATE, THAT Mil. HOLMAN SUPPLY THAT EVI DENCE, AND SPECIFY THE NEWSPAPERS WHICH ARE SELLING TI1E1R SUPPORT FOR A SUBSIDY. , Such information would bo of great interest to the people of this stato mid of particular interest to the newspapers, lhere is an Oregon state editorial association composed of practically every newspaper in the state. .This association has a code of ethics, and can 'ho depended, upon to projeeit against nny mem ber, guilty or selling its editorial support, to nny individual or any group of individuals, to any little business or any big busi ness, or for that matter being false to any of the-basic ideals of American journalism. Would it be too much to ask that the state treasurer place his .charges of a subsidized press, supported by the evidence, before the officials of that association, AT ONCE, so that at the next meeting, those newspapers guilty of selling out, may be publicly exposed, expelled from that association, and suffer the disgrace and financial ruin, that they deserve? ' 'T'lIAT'S 11 fair request, isn't itf It seems so to lis. And it also seems fair that those who have been making these seri ous charges against the press of Oregon, so many months, either fish or cut bait, either file these charges before the proper au thorities, so those accused may either prove their innocence or admit their guilt; or frankly admit they have no evidence, thai the charges are untrue, that the miidslinging is nothing but poli tices, cud cheap contemptible politics at that.

" CONSKKVING THE VISIOS OF NB.R-SKillTKIl EYKS Whether It U because the p03t0ff.ee authorities are more vigilant In pre venting the use of tho malla for fraud. or 'because the laity w becoming lens gul lible and better In formed I don't know, but certainly I do not receive so many Inquiries now as I did formerly about mysterious "eye exercises" that mall-order firms of fered customers- ex ercises purporting to strengthen the eyes and do away v. 1th the need of spectacles. Young psrsoiu with mypola (near sightedness) almost always wish they could get along without glasses, and so these humbug "natural" methods appeal strongly to them. I am Just an ordinary doctor, not an oculist or eye doctor ophthal mologist, as ve doctors call him and In fact I think ophthalmology as a special field of practice 1 rather backward as compared with other special branches of medicine. Tne trouble Is, so many ophthalmologists are conceited enough to think they can be otologists (ear specialists), rhlnologlsts ' (nano specialists) and laryngologlsts as well. What oph thalmology needs tcdoy Is a few ophthalmologists. Young persons with near-sighted-ner,B muit realize that for them the conservation of vision depends mainly upon -the amount of rest they can give their eyes now while they &r3 young. This means that all unnec csary strain of the eyesight should be carefully avoided. To avoid strain, if you are near-sighted, always wear your glasses when you read or do any kind of near work with your oye-i. It Is a fortunate thing for the vis Ion of near-sighted eyes that the child requires re-teat ing from time to time and a change of glasses to suit the changing focusing power of the eye at rest. That Is, it Is fortunate If the test or examination is made by an ophthalmologist (oculist, eye physician), for he will put drops In the eyes to put the accommodation or foauslng effort at rest, so that the test will show Just what the resting eye sees without any strain, conscious or unconscious, on the part of tho : Sundown stories patient. It Is a distinctly beneficial thing for near-sighted eyes In a young person to be kept under the effects 01 sucn a reps ior a weeic or more, now and then, as a complete rest for the eyes. To give your eyes the greatest pos slble amount of physiological rest and prevent strain, dodge all cloze worK you can dodge, and endeavor to take advantage ci every opportunity 10' general open air exercise or outdoor sports or occupations. If any form of eye exercise can do good In any defect of vision it is cer tain that Just using the eyes to lock at things 1$ the best form of exercise you can give them. Many of us older folk can have our vision measured Just as well by- an optometrist or an optician as by any physician, for after we get to middle age our accommodation or focusing power Is so limited that- it doesn't matter and so no drops are necessary for an accurate test of our eyesight. But you know there are lots of things that are all right for grown-ups yet all wrong for children. The people will prohahly not ohject to giii)c.liuiil's fake silver coffins as lonjj as the contents are genuine. About the only tiling wealthy Americans now spend their money as freely for as ever, is an acquittal.

"Yea," agreed the Clock as he srnllrd nt the children, 'and I wanted to show you that they even ftave Indian summer In the future. "Just as they had In the days when the Indians rimmed this country, and Just as wo had In our time, they now have the warm, hazy days that follow a perioi or chilly weather, but before t.'.e real winter arrives.

Mother, bent on doing her duty, was firm. He must say good-night ftd go at once. For a moment It looked as though, .there would be a scene, thsril Billy-brightened, i "All rlgftt," b sold, "I'll no to bed. out i an? going to wnik upstairs like a orab sideways," and he made for the CtlrflTj , , "You'll do ' no such thing.'' said father: "You'll walk straight upstairs piupeny, ana no more looting. ' And then there was a scene.' Parents often fall to realize how necessary It Is for a child to behavo In the spirit of play even when he Is' In the act pt obeying the wishes cf his elders. Obedience comes easier when he does it In fun and In his own way. We forget how many times each day the child Is made to comply with the v-Uhes of others. He feels leas put upon and the whole buslnesa wems less dreary and boring. If he 3an Just pretend that It Is all a ?ame. Indeed, so much easier la the child's acceptance of routine when he Is al lowed a playful approach that It Is a good thing for every mother to re member. If going upstairs to bed "like a irab" makes going to bed any more pleasant, surely thero Is no harm In It. If pretending that the soap Is a duck makes washing amusing, there Is little time lost and much good-will is gained. Wherever the play spirit crops out. the skillful mother can always use It to smooth the path of dally duties.

The nearest human habitation if Jimmle Harri Kan's camp in the Biscuit Hills may be called a habitation is a day and a half to the wcet and south by a faintly marked trail. Red Butte, a typical desert mining town, lies two days east by trail across Burro Mesa. Red Butte touches civiliza tion by way of a road 80 miles to Red Butte Station, which is on a railroad. The vast expanse of Burro Mesa slopes Imperceptibly toward the west and a slight depression, begin ning In the central part ot this great plain, deepens Into a draw, and becomes at last a canyon which opens out onto the lower desert ley els where the mesa ends In a vail like declivity. Dripping Spring, In the mouth of this canyon. Is known only to a few venturesome prospectors and their kind. It would be difficult to Imagine a greater contrast to the Ohio village whero Pierre Donovan bad grown to manhood, and It is no wonder that the soda fountain clerk amid such surroundings was bewil dered and dismayed. . The end of the day was near and the pack-saddles, bed rolls, and cooking utensils lying about Indi cated a camp for the night. Pierre, tired and begrimed from a long march on the hot desert trail, was searching among the thinly scat tered weeds for something to make a campfiro. Often he paused to look wonderlngly around. From that lonely spot the desert stretched away until in the mysteri ous distance earth and sky became one. The sun was almost touching the higher peaks of a mountain range so far away that it appeared as a gray-blue cloud; but in all the r.ky there was no cloud. And the land lay as empty and silent as the eky.' .., ... iThe loneliness, the silence, to Harriet' Noel's son. were appalling. Suddenly the silence was broken by a rich Irish voice. "Come away out of that now, Kate! Ye blun der! d' she-devil av a burro! Can't 1 never lam ye to keep yer dirty nose out av the spring? 'Tis Ave years and more that I've been waterln' ye at this pface, and nlver a time that ye did not try to spoil the drink fer yer betters." The voice came again: "Hey, you Jack, look to yer feet whilst I put yer hobbles on. Now git on. tbe lot of yez." There wee a sound of blows and scurrying hoofs, and then from around a rocky corner came a man of the desert. His age might have been anywhere from 40 to SO. Ills lean stringy body was as straight as a guo-barrel and he walked with the easy, tireless movement of the old-time prospector. The years he had lived under the fierce desert sun had marked his features with Innumerable lines; desert skies had given his blue eyes a serene courage ind an unwavering fidelity. In one hand he carried four load ropes, in he otijer a cloth-covered canteen, dripping wet from the spring. Toss ing the ropes on the nearest pack addle he took the canteen to Pierre. "Av all the jack-assee I've ever 'mown In my long career an" I've mown a lot, anima! and human 'lim four old burros av mine do be ie most exasperetln" limit! And iat'8 the truth or my name's not .Immle Ilarrlgan! Have a drink?" Pierre smiled. "Thonks, but I llled up at the spring when we first -irrlved." "Sure ye did, but have another, anyhow. Too, much water will be an ciperlence that ye'll remember wld pleasure when ye're out In that danged old desert yonder." Plerr. with a laugh, raised the ranteoa to his lips. "spkln' av water," the desert man continued, "there do be tracks av strange burros down around the spring. The beasts never come from my place and they did not oome rrom Red Butte or we would 'tavo seen their signs these last two 'ays. I'm thlnkin' 'tis moro than likely lb!m burros belong to tho two men ye'ro lookiii' fer." "You think Bruce Carey and the man he (a with are near here?" cried Pierre eagerly. "No, lad, 'tis certain I am that Colorado Bill and his friend Uurnes, that you think 13 the man Bruce Carey that ye're so wishful to find, are not In this neighborhood. Tls like I told you I seen thlm men wid me own two eyes a headln' toward Mother Mountain. They ain't come hack or they'd be here.-or at least their tracks would. Now. the only water-hole on Mother Mountain Is Blackwater Tanks. Sometimes there's water at the Tanks, and sometimes there Is not. These, burros beln' here at Drlppln" Spring may have come back from Black-1 water Tanks because there's little or no water there right now. "Blackwater Tanks Is no more firm a hollow In the rocks, and notl livin' water like Drippin' Spring here. And that water-hole may be dry, we've had no rain for so long' a time." ... , - "But If there is no water tbe men would come back, too, wouldn't they?" - ' "They would If" The Irishman hesitated, then as if to reassure his companion, "it may be av course that there's a little water In the Tanks, and that Colorado Bill bas turned his burros loose to save what there la fer himself and yer friend, Bruce, knowing that tbe beasts would come back bere to Drlppin' Spring and that he could pick them up agin on his way back to Red Butte after he and yer friend had stayed on Mother Mountain as long as what little water there Is in the Tanks lasts. But I don't like It at all." "Is there anything we can do, Mr. Harrigan7" "Nothln' more than to go straight ahead as ye planned. But 'tis well that ye have no burros to bother wld tomorrow. You can carry enough water to last ye to Mother Mountain and back here again. But 'tis on me mind that ye'll not get far 'til ye meet yer men on their way back to Drlppln' Spring wld their tongues hangln' out. 'Tis a terrible bit av desert ye're headin' Into, lad, and av I was not dead sure ye could not miss flndin' yer friend and Colorado BUI I'd nlver let ye start out alone at all. But av ye do as I tell ye ye'll come out av It Bate enough. Av ye make any mistakes ye'll nlver come out." . "You have been awfully good to me, Mr. Harrlgan," eald Pierre. "I never could have found Bruce with out you to show me the way. It was lucky that I met you at Red Butte.".,- ,v ... .. , . ., "Sure, any lad wld the name av, Donovan would have a claim on a Harrlgan." returned the Irishman with a chuckle. "I only hope that this stranger wld Colorado Bill Is the man, Bruce, that ye're huntln'!" "The description fits Bruce exact ly, and he and Colorado Bill left Red Butte together for Colorado Bill's mine in the Painted Moun tains." "Colorado says be bas some sort of a claim in the Painted Mountains. He tells me 'tis only a day's travel beyond my camp In the Biscuit Hills, but 1 ain't never been there to see fer myself my trust iu Colorado Bill not heln' strong enough In make me walk a day there and another day back, do you see? But Colorado never took yer friend to any claim In the Painted Mountains this trip, because the two av thlm wnnt to Mother Mountain like I tnld ye. They're out fer to hunt that rest Mother Mountain lode. "They was camped right on this spot. Ye see I have to ramp hero at Drlppln' Spring whin I go to town fer supplies, and whin I enmn hack too, because this is the only water. Everybody else has to ramp here fer the same reason. Cnlnrmlo and this other man was hcildin' down fer the night when I arrived. "We passed the time cv day, nnd Colorado says: 'Ye're hound frr Red Butte, 1 take It. Jim?' " "Take it er leave it.' I says, that's where I'm hnadrd for.' . "Wld that he says. 'I'm tnkln' Mr. Bnrnes. here, out to sec my claim In the Painted Mountains." " 'Good luck to hnth of yez,' says I. But the next morning' they hung back from startln' so that I was away up the hill to the top nv the mesa before they stirred 0 f.wt from this spot. 'Twas from the top av the first little rldse that I stopped a minute fer a look hack, nnd there, plain as the nose on yer face. I could see thlm kirkiog up the dust away over yonder headin' straight f::r Mother Mountain." (t'otl'teht. IVjO.
