Four well known pioneers met In
Riddle last Sunday morning. 1 nej
were George Quine, the high sheriff
of Douglas county; Will .. mown
and O. L. Willis, the war marshals
of Riddle precinct, and Prof. J. i.
Horner, of Corvallis. As tney were
told there would be no preaching In
Kiddle that morning, the quartette
decided that a visit to Nickel moun
tain would be a recuperative pastime
rlnaelv akin to worship. Moses, and
later Joaquin Miller, went up into
tho mountain to catch new inspirn
tlon. So to bring the practice down
to date, the quartette agreed to "go
up into the mountain also.
The delightful ascent of four miles
was made in a Dodge automobile

enough to survey tho charming val

the mountain a rustle Is heunl across
a ravine. Is it a "slacker"? Tho
car stops. No; It Is only a calf elud

The unfolding reel of scenery is bo
delightful that everybody wants to
talk aT once. But tho Journey has
ended too soon, and all alight. Tho
high sheriff who spent the previoJH
night in a successful hunt for out
laws is given a bed, while tho others
make a short survey or tne mines
of nickel, ochre and chromito that
wore developed by the mlnerologlHt
of the pnrty.
Then a slight detour to the aqucr
Ium, where a school of large eastern
brook trout were lazily sunning
themselves, until the strangers ap
peared, when the finny tribe sudden
ly darted off in ovcry direction. But
upon observing the approach of tho
keeper to tho strangers, the trout
ventured nigh again, for fish like
men, judge others hy tne company
they keep. After a few lmndruis or
crumbled crackers nnd bits of fresh
meat wero thrown to them, and when
their dinner was eaten, comparative
nuiet was restored. Then tliey grace

while their dainty fins were Keep

But the Hark Twnln of our parly,
hearing a long rumbling sound, an

only to learn that it was not an auto

Word has readied Rod Cross head
quarters here, that a prominent citi
zen of Douglas county, a man who Is
worth no less than $40,000, a man
who has enjoyed the liberty and
privileges of this government all his
life, and for whom the sons of Amer
ica are freely offering their sorvlccs
in this world war for liberty for
our allies, and for the continuation
of of liberty in our own leloved
country, this man whom the commit
tee counted on to give u libera) sum
to the great work of the lied Ciohb,
actually and dellbertly offered tho
committee who waited upon him the
measley lnslgnlllcant sum of ono dol
lar and iitty cents. Why thero are
laboring men in Ko.seburg, who have
not more than a bare living, who
have given three times this amount
Let It be known that the committee
refused to receive the offering, tell
ing the gentleman that they wore
afraid he might need It for his own
use.
n spite of all tho publicity nnd
explanations given thero are still
some who ask "what becomes of tho
money?" and "why don't tho gov
ernment pay this?" and "wo are
afraid some of the money will be
grafted." Vmially thcfie people have
no intentions of giving a cent any
anyway, but think they are putting
up some tremendous argument that
will dismiss the committee from
further preHSUre, and afterward!
shake hands with tbemHelves for lin
ing so brilliant - the word brilliant
is a good ono for use In this con
nection, as it means imitation or
worthless.
