BE L THE NORTH POLE LOST AGAIN. It is sad but true that the exact location of the north pole has probably been lost again. '-Cook had it but now a university says he hasn't got it; so that the pole is lost for the present. This is very hard on our people who had counted. on its discovery as probably raising the price of spuds next year. But the climate is not thawing up there rapidly enough so tljat it will compete with Alberta for wheat growing. Hot drinks will still have to be served in that vicinty and Rev, Robinson ought to go up and see about it, After having once got your hand on a scarce article it is a shame to have to let go, but we fear the pole is gone. LET THERE Jhe mistake that has been made about Salem water was in not acting on the engineer's report that condemned the suction pipe intake aross the slough three years ago. " The next mistake was in not starting work to bring in wate'r six months ago when all the facts were in the posses sion of the city about the Breitenbush water supply, The time has passed for more reports of experts and more theorizing that will cost thousands of dollars and cause dan gerous delays that hurt the city and the whole state. "'"'Tlere1 are' plenty of contractors and engineers right here in Oregon who will bring in mountain water and not waste a dollar, or a day of time, in doing it, THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT. By all means, catch a little of the real thing, It-is a kind of jubrous feeling about the diaphragm that you would like to hand somebody something not exactly, a lemon. This feeling of goodwill should not be confined to rich rela tives, but should extend even to your mother-in-law, Have a little kindness for those less favorably situated than yourself and the man or woman not quite perfect. . it is all right, if you are educated that way, to want to be long to a select circle, but there are other children of God in the world worth noticing, The editor of this paper conceives of the Clyistmas spirit as -something that should be in evidence all the year around. It should not be exercised alone to those who are our friends br relatives, benefactors, or social equals, , Our hands and hearts ihciild go out to the less fortunato, to the humble citizens of the world, to those who are not the upper-crust. The poorest man or woman, the imperfect citizen, the lowly, the unfortunate, deserve a few crumbs of consideration, The Christmas spirit is for the upliftng of the world not for the vain-glorious gratification of a false idea of charity, NEW ACADEMV IS DEDICATED The mw Catholic Acndomy at Eu Reno wnu formally dodicntod to odu oational purposes last Sunday morning by Arch-bishop Christie.

TMAS STAL CARDS Postmaster Squire Farrar calls the attention of the public to the ruling in tho postal laws, section 416, para graph 4, as follows: "Postal cards bearing particles of class, metal, mica sand, tinsel or other similar substances, are unmall- able, except when inclosed, in en envelopo with proper postage at tached (to envelope) or when treat ed in such manner as will prevent the objectionable substances from being rubbed off or injuring persons handling tho malls." Durlug tho past few weeks, thou sands of beautiful and expensive postal cards, bearing tinsel and oth er substances removable by contact with other mafl matter and the clerks hands, have been sent to the dead letter ofilce, and never reach their destination, due to the nbovo ruling. At the Salem olllce there are Christmas cards which have been malted to friends and relatives of the senders to places thousands of miles away which are being hold, and will eventually go to the dead letter de partment. Postmaster Farrar regrets very much that this class of posaj3? can not bo handled, when mailed con trary to the rules covering their classification. Tho proper mannor in which to mail a tinseled postal card, iiccordiiiK to the postal renu'ivmonts, is to place the card In an invelopo, tho envelope sealed securely and the a ddross and postage placed on tho outsido of tho envelope, and not on tho card, should it be enclosed in a transparent envelope such as the postnl card dealers rurnisn to uieir purchasers. Two cents Is required when the onvelope is soaled or when tho writing Is on tho card enclosed in the transparent onvelope. Among tho hundreds or earns now hold as unmnilablo matter In the Sa lem postofllce, the cardB are placed in the envolopo and the stamp and address upon the outsido, but, ow ing to the envelope being unsoalod, it cannot bo handlod. Some very beautiful postal Christmas gifts will nnvor roach tho ono intended, due to the lack of caution in mailing, and, inasmuch as Postmaster Farrar de sires to sond them forward, he 13 compelled to hold thorn for tho did lottor ofilce, ns provided oy tno rules of tho government postal laws. Tho unprotected tlnBOled card law was adoptod due to many ensos of po'sonlng of tho mnil clerks by suf fering tho tiying particles or moini. class, sand and othor poisonous sub- Btniuww to got In tholr oyoa and down tho throat.

SIDNEY MAN'S ' VIEW OF THE ROAD MEETING He Hears Many Things That Strikes Him as Extreme ly Comical. Sidney, Dec. 20, 1909. Editor Capital Journal: Yes, I was at the road meeting a short time on Friday. Mr. Hofer was talking when I went into the meeting, and by what little of it I could catch It seemed good stuff. Mr. Alberts made a long talk, but as he talked to the "chair," and his back was to me, I could not under stand much of what he said, but he seemed to think that good roads were a good investment, whether peo pie had money to invest or not. No doubt Mr. Albert would lilce good roads to run his automobile on, and so will I when I get an automobile. A motion to levy a tax for road mak ing was carried with a whoop, and the county court was supposed to asume that this was a representative meeting of the taxpayers, although I could only see about a baker's dozen of them at the meeting. One man got up and must have said something real funny, for as he sat down those near him and in front of him laughed hearty. When I came out I complained to my friend that I could not hear what was said on account of the echo In the room, but he said that did not matter as I was Just as well off that I did not hear what was said, for all tho Information I would have got. The next road meeting that is hold I would suggest that It be held In a Bmallor room, whore people could at least hear what was said. Yours, etc., J. F. D.

The scheme of operation which the postofQce inspectors believe the gang used was unique. The authorities allege Adams would write letters addressed to a dead man, in which he conveyed his gratitude for the 'financial aid ho once gave him, and told of the pros perity of tho writer, who had gained considerable wealth in the mining game. The police allege Adams then of fered to put his friend in the way of making money, and offered to let him in on a stock buying deal that would give him shares in the mining property for considerably less than they were worth. The" letters often fell back into the hands of heirs, whom, the postofllce inspectors' say, usually jumped at the offer. Adams and his partners are al leged to have cleared $250,000 dur ing tho time they worked their schejne. o From the City nail.

Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 23. An optimistic note was sounded today by Dr. Luthbr Halsey Gulick, direc tor of the department of child hy giene of the Itussel Sage Foundation of New York, In an address on "Now Attitude Toward Health," delivered at the general mfcetlng of the South ern California Teachers' Association. Dr. Gulick took the stand that the pace of the modern business and pro fessional man is not necessarily a killing pace, as is generally assert ed. He stated that, while men are doing more business in a shorter time than heretofore, the new atti tude toward health and hygiene makes it possible for them to do this without necessarily shortening their lives. Dr. Gulick asserted that tho men and women of the present day are healthier and have more working power than did the men of 50 or 100 years ago. He ascribed this to tho fact that the diseases which caused the great bulk of human vitality and life to be wasted have been con quered by medical science. Approved School Land Loans. The state laud board today ap proved loans from the school fund aggregating the sum of S32.4S3. The loans are all made on real prop erty which is situated in the differ ent counties in tho state.
