It is unfortunate that their most noisy exponent is a newspaper with an editor whose mind is an inch and a quarter from east to west, with no dimension at all from north to south." Portland Oregonian. If the editor had a full-sized brain, instead of making the Oregonian jump and squirm occasionally by printing the truth about it, he would give it the St. Vitus' dance. Or, if the editor's head was swelled anything like the Orgonian's, it would loom on the horizon, even in the myopic vision of the bully of the tall tower, like a railroad roundhouse in a fog. If the editor only had the brains of the Oregonian, he would stultify himself on public questions, champion cor ruption, oppose progress, vote the straight ticket, and drink Arbuckle's coffee. The trouble is that not only the editor, but the whole country hereabouts, looks small to the Oregonian, which sizes up southern Oregon through the wrong end of the telescope.

The suspicion against Burnett, a fellow employer of the murdered man. has died a natural death and was only brought early in tho investiga tion. Ho could throw no light upon the matter. Tho crime was committed by somo person in the camp, for n knowledge of tho lay of the land was neces sary Somo one knew where the bunk was and that Thrasher had been drunk. The tramp theory is exploded. Mabel Putnam. land Manufacturing Company is lo cated while a score of small build ings, foliage hid, hover along tho bank of a small mountain stream. Here nothing is found that suggests the spirits which dwell in darksome caverns and halls draped in black, filled with strango and fearful mys teries.

The bunk house in which Thrasher was killed stands within thirty .foot of tho railroad track but is almost hidden from viow by a dense folingo. This foliage also adds to tho dark ness of tho interior of tho bunk house, which is tho one gloomy spot about tho scene. The door of tho buukhousc faces toward tho cook house. Entering this, ono fncos a rectangular shack some 50 foot iu length and some '2' wide.
