County Judge Stephen Jewell of Josephine county, whose picture appears in the Grants Pass pamphlet as one of the resources of the country to attract homeseekers to the Rogue River valley, must be as thin-skimmed as he is prominent, for he has had the editor and publisher of the Rogue River Courier arrested for criminal libel. The alleged libelous article reads as follows: "The county judge has men at work filling up the deep est holes in the road south of the bridge.

FOLLY AS IT FLIES Disillusionment. In commenting upon the arrest, the Courier says: "It may be explained that the real trouble commenced! 'when the Courier refused to print his pre-election declara- j tion, by which he desired to prove himself a prophet.

This prophetic declaration was prepared in tripli cate and sent to each of the newspapers. The Courier re fused to inflict the silly stuff on the public." Tien the Courier proceeds to inake the amend honora ble as follows: rjf "We are extremely sorry that trouble has arisen and the pleasant relations which have so long existed'between the judge and this newspaper have been so rudely severed. We have always been permitted to print very many arti cles for the judge, which always pleased him much, not "withstanding the fact that many of our readers were in the habit of saying "rats" whenever they saw his produc tions. We have furnished the judge week after week and month after month with extra papers free." In further explanation, the Courier asserts that the judge guaranteed political advertising done for demo cratic candidates in 1908, and that upon being pressed for the money, the judge started the libel suit, all of which is an interesting sidelight upon the political conditions pre- vuuig m om? sister county, and a sad commentary upon tiie business methods of the Courier, which should adopt the rule prevailing in most newspaper offices, which ex perience has shown necessary cash in advance for polit ical advertising. It is hard to understand how the court suffered a libel in the article printed, or how his reputation was damaged, even if the road builders had taken gravel from some river bar without consulting the owner.

Browning's Magazine. Kept Him Guessing. (Tidings.) It's now Asbalnd's turn to make a move for an initiative measure for the rehnbilame'nt of tho Oregon Bys iem of state normal scbpols, embrac ing Ashland, Monmouth and Weston, which have institutions recognized by daw, but from which appropriations were withheld by tho last legislative .assembly, and tho schools closed, to ibe everlasting discredit of tbo state, ;and it is bolievcd against the wishes and will of the people. Monmouth recently started a cam paign for an initiative measure to provide a permanent state appropria tie. A battle for the life of Weston nor mal school was commenced at Penle ion Saturday. The exeeutive com inHtee pf eastern Oregon citizens which met there decided that Weston hall fight independently for rein statement. Judge James A, Fee and Colonel James II. Raley were ap- rmin in draff tha (nWiuMi'a nnfifinn i onoe. ins Din win tie votea on at fifth of a mill on all state property for tho support of Weston. This, at the present valuation, would amount to about $27,000 annually. The bill, if adopted, cannot at tho best bo made effective sooner than the fall of 1012. If approved by the people and tbo assessment made in 1011, the proceeds would not be in nor the appropriation made before the time named. For this reason friends of not only Weston normal, but of Ashland and Monomuth, are anxious to avoid delay.

Ho camo eno afternoon unou a hlir oincK cat occupied apparently lu tho pursuit of mice, und. from tho shelter of a treo ho watched its raovomonts through n lloldgluss. After a fow mlii. utes an old fox mudo Its nppearaueo. Slinking slowly forward toward tho cat, it lay down within a fow steps of It, ready to spring. Tho cat had observed Its enemy, but boyond keeping a sharp lookout on Its movements It uwulo no sign. Shortly a young fox Joined tho old ono and al most immediately bounded nt tho cut. which sprang aside and struck Its ns. sallant ho elllcaclously across Its fnco with Its sharp claws that It retired hh quickly as it camo. Aftor an Interval tuo old fox, advancing slowly and carefully, made Its attack, but tho ro suit was tho Hnmo. Tho cat. snlttluc nnd hissing, struck out hard, and tho fox retired discomfited. A mlnuto afterward it again snranc forward, but this time tho cat got much the best of It and was left lu peace. London Globe.

In winning tho Los Angolos-Phoo-nix Desert Race tho BUICK achieved ono of tho goratest victo ries of tho year. This raco, run over hills and through fields of sand such as a car seldom oncounters, was entered upon with groat enthu sim by tho manufacturers of high priced cars, because they know that tho "popular-priced" car could not stand the grind. But it was tho samo old story tho BUICK won, defeating its nearest competitor noarly four hours and lovoring tho record 12 hours, thoreby achioving ono of tho greatest victories for the "popular-priced" car in tho history of the automobilo.
