Talk about love's rocky path! A Hoquiam (Wnbh.) youth stole a suit of clothes from a rival. With this suit the suitor paid suit to the j;irl and now he has no suit on his back but one in the courts. Do you think Frnnkio was right or did you bet on Anderson f "Maryland, MY Maryland" Teddy. sinjrs Man named Plummcr wants to serve on Portland's school board. If it were not so hot we could cork bcrew a wheeze out of that. Again comes the time of year vl(en Judge WilhiiiRton puts mothballs ou his coat and vest. From a FiKhtcr'H Fist. A youth who says he is a prize fighter asks us to publish the follow ing. After sizing up said youth we bated to refuse, o here gees: The fighters were avchanging Biff for biff, soak for souk, And the galleries were stifling In a cloud of Durham smoke, When () suddenly within tho riu A stalwart figure lauded lie broke the gol dinged meeting up And did it single-hnnded. TWO wcoks ago the eifvv council called a special elec i iota for three charier amendments, one substituting telegraph poles for newspapers in the publication of assessment notices, one creating a municipal court, and one regulating boxing contests." At Wednesday's meeting the council rescinded tho ordinance calling this election and passed another provid ing for an election lay 28, in which the printing ordi nance is again submitted to the people along with a bond issue of .$20,000 for the proposed Bear Crock bridge. The municipal court and boxing amendments were dropped. 13y their acts ye shall know them, and the council's acts tell what manner ot men the councilmen are plainer than words. It reveals the iiettv animus thev entertain towards the newspapers, as well as their shifty 'and un stable statesmanship but what can be expected for $2o a, month1? If municipal court and boximjr amendments were necessary two weeks ago, as the council declared, win are they not equally necessary now? If they -were unnecessary then, as the council tacitly admits by withdrawal, why submit them in the first place and put the taxpayers to the expense of needless publica tions of election ordinances'? This action shows plainlv enough that the council docs not know its own mind for two consecutive weeks. Yet these are the men paid $25 a month apiece bv the tax- j .. ....... payers tor minding the city's business. The newspapers exposed the attempt of the council, under the guise of economy in city printing, to fasten au- otlier salaried ofheiai upon the taxpayers, and the lack of backbone displaved bv the council in submitting an unnecessary boxing law, and thereby insured the defeat of the amendments. So the council withdraws them and in revenge lor the exposure resubmits the publication ordi nance tacked on to a bridge bond issue whose popularity, it is figured, will also carry the publication ordinance. This bond issue will be discussed later. Posting assessment ordinances on telephone posts instead of publishing them in. newspapers, as under the proposed amendment, will result in a saving to the city of less than $100 per lineal mile of improvement. As there will probablv not be over a mile or two miles of streets improved this year, the amount is so small that it is not worth to the city the expense ot a special election or a fight by the newspapers to save it. The only issue involved is whether the newspapers are better means of 4 publicity than telephone posts, whether those whose property is assessed had rather be informed of it through the newspapers than by consulting all the telephone poles in town until the right one is found and reading what is left legible by the rain and summer's sun to ascertain what and when the' must pay. Shall Medford return to village ways, as already prac tised by our shifty statesmen to whom five cents a line is an enormous sum, and use the phone poles auout town to let people know what public improvements are contem plated and what they have rost or shall the city pay a fair price for service rendered to newspaper creditable to the city, whose unceasing effort has always been for the upbuilding of the community, and so help make better newspapers, better advertisements for Medford. "In morals as in medicine, there is no antiseptic like the sunshine of Almighty God." The criticism of official acts is one of the highest duties a newspaper owes to man kind. It is always an obnoxious and invidious task to disclose to the public the shortcomings and littleness of its official servants and if it is not done fearlessly, it cannot be done effectively. It is not from editors trem bling under the threat of a little patronage withdrawn that the public may expect a fulfillment of the highest function of a newspaper.

Tho United States geological aur vcy lias juat issued an advance state ment of the production of copper In 1911. This statement, prepared by U. S. Ilutler, gives tho final flgurca of production as made up from re ports from all the reduction plants. Tho preliminary estimate of tho smel ter output of the country, Issued by tho geological survey January 2, 1012 differed from tho final figures by but a fraction of 1 per cent. Tho total smelter production from ores mined In tho United States was 1,097,232,749 pounds. This Is tho largest production In the history of tho Industry und compares favorably with tho output of 1,080,159,509 pounds for 1910. Arizona again heads tho list of copper-producing states with a produc tion of 303,202,532 pounds, tho larg est production over made by tho ntats. Montana Js second with 271,814,491 pounds; Michigan third, with 218, 185,230 pounds; and Utah fourth, with 142,340,215 pounds. Tho most notable gains were mado by Alaska and Utah, tho production of Alaska Increasing from 4,311,020 pounds In 1910, to 22,314,889 pounds I In 1911, and that of Utah from 125,- 185,455 pounds In 1910 to 112,340, 215 pounds In 1911. The states showing the most mark ed falling off In output wore Califor nia and Montana. Tho former de creased from 45,700,200 pounds In 1910 to 35,835,G51 pounds in 1911, and tho latter from 283,078,173 pounds Jn 1910 to 271.811,491 pounds In 1911. In California the decrease was due to difficulty in con trolling smelter fumes; In Montana it was caused by voluntary curtailment duo to the condition of the copper market. Tho total production of roflned copper from primary sources, both domestic and foreign, was 1,433,875, 025 pounds in 1911, compared -with 1,422,039,135 pounds In 1910. In addition to the copper produced from oro a total of 214,000,000 pounds was recovered by the treat ment of old copper and brass, copjnr and brass scraps, filings, clippings, etc. Tho consumption of copper in the lUnlted States for 1911 was apparent ly somewhat smaller than In tho pre vlous year, but the amount exported ed was considerably greater, so that tho 'stocks of refined copper held in tho United States wero materially re duced. - - public purpose, in Imimony not only with the Inttur- but with the i-pirit of the net oC 11)10. Tho three witlulrnwtiW nlromly ) proved by the president ivpiOM'iil mi aggregate area of about 80,000 uoros in six counties in U(h' and Wyoming, and include tvuels of puhlio laud known from tho reooruV of tin' iVit d States geological Miney and tho gen eral laud office to contain 218 springs and streams. It is well known that in tho Kooky mountain and Paeifie coast state there arc mnuy-largc areas of excel lent graxing land in wliMi tlio number- of places whore water for man or boast can bo obtained is relatively small. Sometime the sdioitest dis tance hot ween "water holes'' is 10,' 20, or even 50 miles. Some of those waterim: places are hpiiugs some of thorn, ponds of alkaline water, some of them small streams flowing down from adjacent hills or mountains ami becoming- lost on the cdt of tho de sert. Tho lands in hvre part sup port a growth of gras and small brush which is excellent fodder for horses, cattle, sheep, and as practi cally all these ureas are government land they are "free range'' for who ever may pare to gnuo his Ntook thereon. However, stock can not live without water, and nales watering pkjoes are available to a dtook owner it is imposslule for Win to utilize the range. As a result of theso conditions it has come to ho common practice in some parts of the weM for a big cat tle or .sheep outfit to obtain posses sion of tho few scattered water holes iu certain area and bv this mean to monopolize the graying privilege almost as effectively n if it actually owned every acre or the area.' In consequence the small stock owner has been placed nt a serious disad vantage and in mnuy localities has been forced out of business. This practical development of the cou-ervntion policy in order to pro tein monopolization of the public grazing minis will not only insure equal opportunity, under present con ditions, but it prcMrc- the way for future legi-latiou. Should congrc at anv future time decide to pa a grazing law the letention of these watering places in public ownership will make the enactment of a enti factory law po.-sihtc; whereas if the water -hoidd pass into private hands the framing of a law providing for the control of grazing on the public domain would be n-ee , because tin law it-elf would be inoperative. The present action will really ne beneficial to both large and Mimll stock growers, alllipugh it will doubtle- not MlrtnIuTtir'tliiiie who de.siro to exclude rival.- from tin' range by acquiring the watering places thcm-elvo. The competition and wtruggle for existence have in many places, however, grown mi keci that even to the largest outfit- the strife ha-- become burdensome, and i.i some of them, nt Icn-t, the reumv il of ouo of the cause, of contention ! the reservation of the -priug- mid stream- for the common u-e of all will be a decided lclicf. To the Himli stockman who lias been lighting fo existence and who has hocn his graz ing area dimiuMi year by year as he has been barred front thi spring i r from that t renin, it will be welcome news that the government has taken -top, thai will at least make the com petition fairer.

Tho president, by executive order, under tlio withdrawal law has "withdrawn from entry inuuy tracts of unappro priated public lands which contain springs or small streams. These wa li'rinK plw'i'H control the public wngo over largo areas in Ptah and Wvom- iiijj and Uie withdruwal of tlie&o lands, will iu no wise interfere with tho iiho of the springs or streams but will in fact insure the possibility of public jiso, Control of watering places by htrong private interest- and resulting monopolization f grazing on thu pub lie domuiu are believed to ho preju dicial to public interest, and the pies idont regards tlio setliug aside of these watering places for public use us berviiig a distinct and bvuelicial Lovely Hair For Girls and Boys Tho man who U bald at 30 can usually blame his mother.
