THE LOST ART OF BLUSHING.
A cartful canvaa of the county de
velop that there ccmi to b no scrloim
opposition to the proposed new county.
So sayeth The Hub ol Redmond,
unblushitiRly. It may be that a
newspaper is devoid of the powet
even of simulating a blush, and yet
? Of course the resolutions
unanimously adopted at a Prine
ville mass meeting condemning
Redmond's action and pledging
Prineville's active hostility to the
movement scarcely can be regarded
in the light of opposition.
Relmoiul' initiative petition for a dt
vision of Crook County ami the forma
tion of Deschutes County, with Red
1110ml as the count) feat, is to be fought
to the last ditch liy very Krcat majority

Such is the feeling of Madras,
the most important town in pro
posed "Deschutfs County," a
staged in The Pioneer. From Laid
law and Sisters, from Culver and
Lamonta, and from individual
ranchers all over the affected terri
tory, comes a wail of remonstrance
to the scheme which was fostered
upon them by the signature-collectors
in Portland.
Mayhap the perpetrators of the
enterprise have as little serious ex
pectation of its success as has any
sane-minded onlooker. So perhaps
the unblushing Hub is right after
nil forlhat which is not regarded
seriously scarcely can provoke
serious opposition.
Wldte House. Tariff revision, for
instance?
"The grealcs-t fight in history" is
over. The limelight is turned

wc may concentrate our attention
upon Oyster Bay and that other

A destitution between the quick
and the dead: the former get out of
the way of the uutos, the latter
don't.
Publicity is the cure for most of
tue political ills we sutler Irom. It
is the greatest foe to injustice, to
skulldugery and hugger-mugge
Probably the greatest virtue of the
new bill for which the Madras
Commercial Club stands sponser,
to provide generally a method for
creatine new counties, etc.. is that
it requires everything to be done
openly and above board, after am
ple public notice No great harm
can be done in full view of the
public eye. The other features of
this initiative bill, important as
thev mav be. are secondnrv. Tli
public must first be informed of
wnai is going on, tnen it may be
heard fully before a high trade,
impartial commission having power
to determine what the public in
terest xequires. Proposed county
boundaries are not left to chance or
to the voters, but are to be deter-
mined ' by careful inquiry as to
water sheds and drainage basins,
ease of communication, etc., not
ignoring, of course, the preference.
of residents. This is a scientific
and businesslike way of reaching
such a conclusion. This measure
would relieve the voters of the
whole state from the necessity ol
deciding such local matters. A
law of this kind is greatly needed
in Oregon.
So Johnston came off victor in
the 15th round, knocking the "Big

there is such a thing.) And this

PREVENTION
THE BEST SAFEGUARD
If for any cause the hone or other
domestic animal exhibits n lack of energy,
proper relish for food, or an appearance
of general debility, timely action should
be taken for the restoration of its health
In tbe natural food of our domestic
animals Nature provides certain peculiar
medicinal herbs, leaves, barks and roots
which seem necessary for their health.
Pacific Stock Food in greatly condensed
fonn is intended to supply the essential
virtues of those health-eivini? natural
remedies and is prepared expressly for
those animals deprived by man of their
natural food. It is an alterative tonic
which stimulates the various organs of
the body, promotes the secretions, tones
up the general system and restores the
disordered conditions to a normal state.
It stimulates the appetite, improves the
digestion and assimilation of food, purifies
the tilood and insures a good, healthy
condition. Booklet free.

yet he walked the 80 odd miles in a
