The bonding lift does not provide for the payment of interest, and if such provision was made, the bonds would sell more readily. .Interest payment clauses are contained in the provision for petition and notices of election, but there should be a straight obligation in the law, and in the bond. There should also be a provision that counties are obliged to pay bonds at maturity, so that if not paid the holder might mandamus and compel a tax levy. There is no provision for keeping the redemption fund intact. different dates, an immense amount of money will be lost to the counties in loss of interest on the redemption funds. It might be wise to provide for investing the redemption fund. There ought to be some penalty providing for not holding the hind intact, and some remedy in either tax payer or bond holder or both, so that this redemption fund could be insured. .In the convict labor bill the word convict should lie changed to "prisoner" and there should be a provision against any particular garb or dress. The hours of labor should be limited, and a provision for prisoners making complaint for ill-treatment, and a penalty of mistreatment, as well as a provision for medical aid. The "state aid" act appears more to be a plan for the sale of l'oad machinery than anything else. Jt is not par ticularly objectionable. BURIED TEN DAYS IN SNOW Local Men Held In Mountains for Ten Days by Terrific Snow Storms i Statje Communication Between Grants Pass and Coast Paralyzed. J.

The) left Medford on January 2 with Mr. Kllppcl's team and buggy, Intending to return within a few days. On the return Journey, seeing that a storm was Immlii'nt, they endeav ored lo mich this city, but were over taken en route nnd forced to turn hack to the shelter of the Raymond stage station. The worst of the storm was en countered In tho Illinois valley be tween Colts Range and Crescent City. While trying to cross tho valley through almost four feet of snow, they came upon tho stnrgo from Grants Pass, which was held solid in a drift. A woman passenger on the stage was carried by the driver for over half a mile and then placed on a horse and taken through to the station. Upon reaching there the party met the driver and passengers of tho northbound stage, which had suffer ed a similar fate on Colts Range. ROGUE FISH III SOUTH AMERICA H. J.

Gc, WILLIAM ALLIEN WIILTti contributes another ol" his interesting political essays to the February Anieriean Magazine: Lie says: " Given a large railroad loeoinoiive pulling a train of ears across country; add on small panting dog with a fixed idea stretching out like a jack-knife as he runs along the railroad right of way; put in one philosopher with a specu lative turn of mind and the question naturally presents itself, what would the dog do with the engine if he caught it? ISver since locomotives were invented they have at tracted the critical activity of dogs and have presented this puzzling problem to philosophizing humanity. But no real dog ever has caught a real engine so the problem is one of the irrelevant 'it's' of history. " But coincident with this vain ambition of the dog to capture and curb the engine, humanity has been running alongside of business trying to make it honest. 10 very man's conscience, like the little dog on the right of way, has been barking a protest against the great ruthless, noisy thing beside him, and philosophers .grounded in the belief that this is a material world have "Tinned and wondered what the spiritual dog would do with the large, crass, sub stantial engine if he ever got it. Of late that is ifi this generation in the memory of toddling infants in their forties (he barking has been more insistent than it was (luring (he heart of the last century. In the sixties, seven (ies, eighties and nineties of the nineteenth century, the reformer was a long-haired individual who forgot to reg ister for the election, lie was a rank outsider who looked over the shoulders of the real players and confused the game. Hut of late the reformer has been sitting in. Seven years' occuptuicy of the White House by a reformer has made the cult at once respectable and practical. There will be fifty-seven out-and-out reformers in the republican caucus of the next national house of representatives and jt dozen United States senators 'who are consumed with the fire from the light Unit never was on land or sen. More over, in nineteen states governors are' sitting who tire ac cused of being reformers and have either begged the ques tion or have pleaded uuiltv. Kven werse: hi twentv-l'ive CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS MAY WORK ON HORSES II. J. Kelly, jr., who for u num ber of years waa in charge of the Elk creek hatchery, but who is now in charge of tho bureau of fisherus in the Argentine republic, writes that on a recent visit to an Argentine stroma he saw a number of his old friends. Mr. Kelly writes: "I had the pleasure of seeing four pound steelheads up in the Tu euman province that were only two years old. These were some of the fish hatched from the eggs from Grants I'ass about throe years ago. It certainly did look good to a home sick Oregonian to see some of his old friends striking at grasshoppers in these far off southern streams." Eagle Drug Co., Inc. Tlios. Bartholomew, PIi.
