THE PASSING OP WHEN DEATH lays hie benumbing fingers on tho babe that like the buds of spring, has within it all the possibilities of flower and fruit, all the long years of life beforo it, it is sorrowful and pitiful tp all and bonrtwroching to those who have watched its growth ami devel opment, soon tho dawn of intelligence break and light up the fathomless blue skies of its eyes, seen strength gnthor in tho rounded and helpless little limbs and lovo peep out of every curve and dimple. When with envious dart he strikes down the boy reaching toward manhood's full estate, or the girl in tho faint dawn of womanhood, we stand heart brokon by the little grave that marks the sad onding of our hopos and our desiros. When the strong man in the full power of splendid manhood, or the woman, wife and mother for a fow years only, answore tho last call, wo stand helpless and appalled. How different it is when doath comos at tho end of a long and useful lifo that has mado mankind the bettor for its living. When the years bear heavily, when the eyes grow dim and the foot no longor troad joyously the familiar paths, when ripe old ago creopt up by slow degrees and proaros the way, until at last ho who has made the good fight closes his tired eyes and gently falls asleep wo grieve that the end has coino, but realizing that it is the common lot, and that death is then indeed not dreadful, but a welcome friend that invites us to his realms of sloop and rest, until upon tho last great day we shall all again be united In our Father's house on tho other side, wo submit to the inevitable, and do not complain. Such was the passing of our old townsman, Asnliol Bush, whoso death was announced yesterday. For him was a ripe old age, lifo's full four score and ten years. For him were years of usefulness, through all of which with vigorous brain and strong hands ho wrought for the upbuilding and better ment of his homo city and state. That ho worked hard, and wrought intelli gently and well, is evidenced on nil Bides. And whilo his work is done, it will be felt and have its effect on things yet unthought of, for each effect in turn becomes a causo, and tho circle is endless. And what a wonderful poriod bis span of lifo covorod. To how few hus been granted tho watching, tho birth and development of a great Btate. When ho came hero 03 years ago tho wholo northwest was practically a wil derness. There wore few roads and tho trail ami tho pack horse alone pro vided communication aud trade with communities at any distanco from the streams, Salem was as far in time from Washington ns Now York was from itself, with a trip around tho world to reach it. The trip up from Sun Francisco to Astoria was possible only by means of sailing vessels. The Willnmotto nnd Columbia wero guiltless of Btoiimboats and railroads were not even dreamed of. Tho Indian still held possession of tho wholo north west oxcept a few straggling and struggling hnmlots widely scattered. He snw all this changn, Ho saw the trail givo place to tho wngon road, and It to tho railroad. He bbw tho garden of the world, the Willamette val ley, fresh as It enmo from tho hand of God, find he saw it blossomed and fruited deep with the products of farm and orchard. Ho saw Portland grow from a country villugo to a magnificent city, aud ho saw tho great etto of Oregon develop Into one of the members of tho groat republic, Ho saw his own chosen homo city become tho capital of this great statu and grow into a prosperous nnd flourishing city, tho socond in tho state. Ho saw tho distance to New York cut down to five dnys, lustoad of five mouths, and tho wires iiuuihilato time until here in that erstwhile wilder ness we heard the news of the oust three hours ahead of its happening, Ho not only saw all this and countless other Mist changes but ho was a part of them. To him and his associates much of these great strides in progress wero duo, for it was his and their brains and mouey that made many of theso things possible. His work will live when ho who did it Is only a mem ory, and generations yet to como will profit by it. And to Salem realizing the vast dobt it owes tho venerable patriarch who today goes to his long homo, -can sny not with poignant grief, but with profound sorrow and heartfelt regret, "Good byo until wo meet again," and can repeat the words that will greet him on tho other side: "Well done thou good and faithful servant," . GET YOUR AUTO THE LAW requires that every auto owner must have a license for tho year on tho first day of January, or be liablo to arrest aud fine if ho drives his car. There are 10,000 autos in the state and so fnr thero have been only 2,500 licenses innod. This means of course, that thero must bo 7,000 licenses Issued lu the next eight working days, or at the rate or nearly 1,000 a day. It will be soon from this, that some one is going to get held up, or dike the chaises of arrest. The secretary of state gets away with his work In a rapid manner, but thero is a limit to even his ability lu thnt line. As tho boy said "one cannot uuiko a two year old colt in a minute," nnd It Is easily seen that 1,000 or more licenses a dav for a week or more at a stretch is a rnther strenuous job, If you have not alrojtdy procured your license send in your application and money at once.

I'ncle Sam, it was announced hero today, will play Sunlit CIhiis during the year 1111.1 to hundreds of cripple,! soldiers aud sail ors of the Fnited States army and navy if he can secure an appropriation of $275,000 from congress. This large mount will be spent for wooden legs, artificial arms, glass eves, fulso tooth and similar articles. The year IMS is the specified time for the renewal of this "equipment." "Put You Wise," "She's a Pippin" and "On the Square" All Sight, But "Guy" Is Coarse. That the California reporter who quoted him virtually as "just doting on slang" to some extent "handed him a lomon," was in effect a statement made by M. V. O'Shea, professor of education in the University of Wisconsin, and noted philologist and etymologist, who spoke at the meeting of the Oregon State State Teachers' Association yeetorday. Professor O'Shea does believe in cer tain Blang words and phrases, but he re serves the right to select them. "I must bo my own censor of slang," declared tho educator, "before I am given credit for advocating it. Offen sive slang, ribaldry and rubbish I cer tainly cannot recommend. But there aro certain slang words and phrases which aro effective, and which in their place will become a part of our lan guage, just as certain words that aro regarded as good English wore once in the slang category. Many words used by Shakosiearo wero inronventional in his day, but usage has put the seal of approval upon them. "A sensible person will adapt his speech to the occasion the same as he will his dress. When with comrades our speech would bo called stupid if wo did not use words in common. At for mal meetings in a parlor, for instance, where thero are Indies and gentlemen it might bo well to eschew slang. I Child's Speech Strong. "A child uses Btrong figures of speech which ore unconventional, and when not offensive, satisfy tho needs of tho young and nro unobjectionable." Asked to givo slang words and phrasea which ho approved and disap proved, the professor snid: " Not on your life' is O. K. I liko 'on tho level' and 'he's a good sport.' ' I have a bid to a party' seems all right to mo. "Thero is nothing wrong with 'she's a pench' or 'she's a pippin.' 'Take to the tall timber' is a fino expression to my way of thinking. 'Put you wise' and 'on the squaro aro expressive and not inelegant. " 'Guy' is offensive and should nev er be used. There's nothing out of tho way with 'fade away. ' Don't forget that 'forget it' is first rate. " 'Huts in one's belfry' is not good. 1 rather like the ring to it, too, by George, but perhaps it is out of tunc with our language. It lvas a good swing though. "No, I cannot approve 'pass tho buck,' It is not elegant; it is offen sive to tho ear. "New One" Eucountored. "What do 1 thing cf 'getting the gravy f Well, that's a new ono on mo. what does it mean! 'Copping the coin,' ehl Another new one, 1 thing I ditnp prove both; they are harsh. . "'Making good ' hns my sanction. 'Going back' in the sense of a person losing his efficiency, is fine and 1 like 'pipe' for see, but cannot approve 'pipe tho guv,' for 'guy' Is not in my diction ary of slang. "'Bonohond' is offensive, while 'solid Ivory,' as applied to a dunce, is good. " 'Put it across' Isn't bud, nnd 'it's a cinch' is strong. 'We should worry' will hardly pass muster, but 'he's off his trolley' is great. 'Stung' 1 like a grent deal. "There can be nothing wrong in us ing slung words that we know will be logitinmtied by usage and then there are slung words and expressions vAich tuny bo all right for the young dynam ic expressions which would ill become older persons." I'rot'ossor O'Shea made no reference to slung in his address to the teacher. INSPECTOR BHAW OF PORTLAND 18 DINED The armory ws the scene of another jollificntiou Saturday noon when the Sedgewick Post No. 10 of G. A. H. assisted by Relief Corp No. 1., served a fine dinner to do honor to Inspector K. J. Shaw, of Portland, who was pres ent for tho annual inspection of the post. After doing full justice to the dinner, Comrad Shaw was Introduced by Com mander Halley, who Baid Comrade Shaw was noted for his fine after dinner upe'rltes, and would make a few re marks. Before the visiting officer hd fin ished every one believed what the com mander had aid for Comrade Shaw commenced by making every one laugh and ended hi speech lu much the tame way, interspersing It throughout with th finest hind of compliment for the women of the corps both as to looks and cooks. Maybe be didn't say any thing about their beauty as so many husbands were present he didn't dare to, but be wanted to, that was evident; and what he did say about them, and thoir ability to cook, would not do to be in print, for possibly he may have to go to some other town in his capacity as inspector, and he might want to have the good will of the Relief Corps wo men there, long enough for them to serve another such a good dinner, and also very likely he might want to say juBt those same words of praise there, so we will spare the gentleman and not repeat them but will give him credit for being very entertaining. Captain Gehlhar,of the militia, also made somo good remarks and won the hearts of all present by the patriotism he displayed thereby. About 150 old soldiers, women of the Belief Corps, and a few Sons of Veter ans of Joshua Smith camps, partook of the good things served at this ban quet, and every ono wished that all tho members could have been present and enjoyed it all as they did and thank all who did so much to make it such a success. THE ROUND-UP. Clyde Henry Cook and Marguerite Hash, both of Dayton, were married I at McMinnvillo Inst Monday. Eugene Register: Albany hns had five dogcatchers in four months. Too ninny dogs, or too many people who object to having their dogs taken up? Cornelius Tribune: After a full and deliberate consideration of the momen tous question, we have decided to make the announcement authoritative ly, thnt we will not run for governor. It 1st rutneored thnt there are several other persons who nre thinking of also refusing to run. The editor of the Sweet Homo Tri bune is thankful to tho lit people who voted for him nt tho Into city elec tion, but "more thankful to the 78 who voted for the other fellow." He consoles himself thnt the other fellow's troubles nre nhend, while his own, bo far ns office is concerned, are behind. Roseate prospect depicted by the Lnpino Inter-Mountain: "Twenty thousand acres covered with wntor ly ing between Lapine nnd the snow peaks on the northwest will so temper the cllmnte of the entire basin thnt the cold nights will be a thing of the pnst and fruits will be so successfully grown here thnt the Lapinp bnsin will eventually be famous ns a fruit pro ducing country." Portlnttd reports the arrival of tur keys for Christmas ns very light. Sheriff Timid of Baker county flntly refused to obey tho governor's orders to close the saloons in Copperficld, nnd snys if the governor wants them closed he will have to go to the courts and get nn order closing them. Six hustlers were arrested for boot legging In rortlitud Sunday. M. S. Kennedy was fined -" for killing deer out of season by tin Ah- lnnd judge Monday. ' Suit Involving title to nearly IMO lots nt Newport owned mostly by summer visitors has been brought by the heirs of the lute Leslie Bailey. Wilbnm Cnvaunugh, of Bend, was found helpless and almost dead by the side of the niilrmtd track near Win chester, lie owns considerable prop erty in Douglas county. He wns un able to give any account of how he cam Into the condition in which he was found. Despondent over business reverses, W. D. Benson, a mining man, took a dose of cyanide of pottassium in a linker restaurant, Monday night, nnd died few moments after. He left a letter saying he was perfectly sane but broke and discouraged, and thnt he hnd no relatives to notify and all he require.) was silence. SANTA FE MAN 13 DEAD.
