THE GROUCH ABNORMAL.
A Chicago dispatch thus re
fers to a lecture delivered in that
city, the subject being the mis
anthrope: or in popular parlance,
the "grouch":
The specimen of humanity
long familiar to the divorce
courts and generally known as
a "grouch" was placed under
the medical microscope by Dr.
Charles McCormick last night
analyzed, dissected and finally
declared to be a mental, mons
trosity. Moreover, 'Mr.
Grouch's" propensities for ill
temper were declared to work a-
gainst his recovery when per
chance, illness overtakes him.
Dr. McCormick's theories
Were expounded at the third an
nual convention of the Associa
tion of Independent Doctors.
The delegates say there are no
"grouches" enrolled inJtheir as
sociation. .
"The man with a grouch is a
queer specimen bf humanity,'
said Dr. McCormick. "He con
unuaiiy is 111 tempered, goes a
bout with a long face, apparently
believing the world has formed
a conspiracy against him. What
i3 the result? His mentality be
comes warped, if you please.
and by the time his grouch
. ... -
reacnes an acute state he may
properly be classed among the
mentally unbalanced. I don'
mean to be understood as de
fining this condition as insanity.
but I will say the 'grouch' is an
abnormal being.
"When he becomes ill hisjmen
tal condition tells against "him.
and it is the experience of
physicians who combine psychol
ogy with medicine that the
aViWSWIA ill fimnnHfifl - ie. n

most difficult patient to handle.'
A POPULAR DELUSION
It is customary to make the
first meal of the day slightly and
lighest and distinctly the plain
est and simplest of the three,
If there be any deficiency of the
appetite, breakfast is the meal
at which this is most likely to
show itself. But this lack of ap
petite is, in nine cases out o:
ten, clearly traceable to sleeping
in an unventilated room or to
late hours in foul the night be
fore, or to insufficiet excerise
the preceding day, and is no in
dication that the body realy re
quires less food at this , time,
Perfectly healthy men who
sleep with their windows open
and go to bed a reasonable hour
will tell you that they enjoy
tneir DreaKiast as well as any
other meal of the day, and
many even call it their best
meal.
Another popular, delusion
regard to the lightness and un
. importance of the breakfast
that widespread subterfuge, the
'continental breakfast,' consist
ing of a cup of coffee and some
fruit or a single roll. This is a
very pretty breakfast, so far as
it goes, but it doesn't go far;
and the solo basis for its adop
tion on the Continent is that
it
is only intended as a temporary
tideover until the real breakfast
of meat, eggs, fish, with beer or
wine, which is taken at about 10
or 11 o'clock, like a very early
luncheon. If you havA't got a
good appetite for breakfast,
make it your business to go and
get one, instead of allowing
yourself to be blinded in this
morbid state of affairs and de
ciding that all you really need is
a cup of coffee and a roll or an
oransre or a dish 01 DreaKiast
bran.
Craze for Land
Seizes People
(Continued! from "page one )
those who have just got back from
that country.
Do Not Like Land
C. H. Flitchard "You can have all
the Harney county land you want, but
in my estimation Polk county land is
worth three times as much. I don t
want any of it in mine. "
C. W. Craven "I did not see any
thing in that country that looked good
to me. Of coilrse if you want a home
stead there, there might possibly be
something for a man that wants to go
through the privations of a homestead
er, but for a man to take it up under
the desert act there is nothing to it.
Clint Moore "I went over a large
portion of the land open for settlement
under the desert act, and while some
of it is -all right there is none any good
unless you have water on it, and in my
estimation there is no chance to get
water on it at any cost."
Wm. Kurre "Polk county land
good enough for me. I don't want any
of it in mine. It might be all right if
it had plenty of water on it, but it
cheaper to get beer in that county
than water.'
U. A. Hodge "l didn t see see any
thing in that section that looked good
to me. You can buy land in that sec
tior '"when transportation gets there
cheaper than you can locate it "under
the desert act."
J. M. Jones "I got in on" one stage
and went out on the next one that left
town. None of it forme. I am jo
old to play that kind of a game. , I am
glad that I went. It was worth the
price to see what a fool I made of my
self, but a person is never too old to
learn." ,
These Were Pleased
Pearl Alexander "I took time to
look over the land and I was so well
pleased that I just grabbed on to 160
acres."
S. E. Irvine "I think that it is the
opportunity of a young man's life, and
after a careful investigation I filed on
160 acres and I am glad of it."
Prof. Mcintosh also took up 160 acres
as well as Miss Iliff , but we have not
been able to see either of them, and
just what they think of the proposition
we are unable to say.
L. Damon and J. E. Hubbard tele
phoned from Portland that they each
filed on 320 acres.
W. W. Percival, Jim Hanna, and D
G. Dove, the last that was heard from
them was that they had chartered
automobile and that they were going
to play the string out and come home
by the way of Vale. All of those who
went into the Harney valley are glad
they made the trip for the reason that
gave them an opportunity to see just
what a big country we have in Oregon.

CHIEF WELLS
TO GOJUilG
Chief of Police Wells is mak
ing rather extensive preparations
for a hunting trip which he. has
ong had in contemplation and
from the Camp baggage and ar-r
senal which he is getting togeth
er he evidently expects to Tiave
the largest kind of a time. 4 f
After looking over all the shoot-1
ing irons in town and not finding
anything powerful enough to
suit him, he has ordered a couple
of death dealers from Portland
that are warranted to kill over
into the next county. Fearful
est his own eagle eye will not
discover the game he has secured
one of the best pair of field
glasses that he could find and
with these in use it is hardly pos
sible for anything big or little to
get out of range.
To carry out his luggage and
armament and to bring in his
game he has engaged B. L. Tay-
or's $500 span of mules, while to
guard against any statutory com
plications he will have a special
deputy game warden and sheriff
aloner to identify the game and
keep him in the straight and nar
row path provided for by law.
His return will be anxiously
awaited by those Nimrods who
think they know the ropes and
Municipal Judge Denman, who
has been keeping close tab on
the Chief's preparations, says he
is willing to wager his chances
for a re-election that Wells wil
not bring back anything but him
self and his outfit.
THE HOYT'S IKE
The Palace theater manage- i
ment in securing the Hoyt's-' has
provided a first-class - attraction"1
for the patrons of this popular
play-house. Tonight Mr J Hoyt
will assume the character of that
famous scout, Kit Carson, while
Mrs. Hoyt as Espanita, will give
one more presentation ot her
marvelous globe dance, by special
request.
The motion picture films , will
be changed tonight, one being
the magic of fountain pen mak
ing' in which some remarkable
opticals illusions are produced,
while the other will be a novelty
in the way of a colored film, por
traying a series of . laughable
pranks at a young ladies semi
nary. The Palace has gained a
reputation for providing a, good
entertainment and this change
will be up to the standard- in
every particular.
BIG TIMBER DEAL
IN UNNCOUNTY
The largest sale of timber land re
corded in Linn county for a number of
years has just taken place at Browns
ville,, the lands involved in the transfer
being known as the Martin tract, owned
by local people, consisting of approxi
mately 2500 acres situated on the north
slope of the divide between the Cala
pooia and Mohawk rivers. The price
paid for this land was close to $45,000,
the purchaser being the Crossett Tim
ber Company, of Portland.
It is surmised that the land goes into
hands of speculators. Brownsville
only four and a half miles distant from
the land. The land, is admirably situ
ated for logging and milling.
EUGENE LADIES
SELECT FOUNTAIN
From photographs of fountains now
in use in New York City, the Ladies
Auxiliary to Eugene's Commerial Club
ATTRACTION
has selected a very fine fountain for
the depot park. It will be much larger
than the one originally ordered and
will be of iron, beautifully bronzed.
Instead of 13 feet, the new selection
will be 16 feet, high and each of the
three upper pans will be ornamented
with electric lights. The fourth - or
lower one,, will be six feet in diameter
and ground basin, which wiil be octa
gonal ana maae ny local people of con
crete will be two feet high and 14 feet
across.
It is agreed to have the fountain
shipped from New York within four
weeKS ana to nave it in place some
iine during the latter part of Septem-
, was f, ... the material nri(T.
inally selected would not be durable,
as has been found on examing the big
flower vases at the depot park, which
are of the same material.
Objection to iron was mainly on ac-
sount of its having to be painted, but
the funds on hand enable the auxiliary
to have it bronzed, which is by far
the handsomest that can ba obtained.
CITY COUNCIL IN
SPECIAL SESSION
A special session of the city
council was held last night at
which a resolution was passed
for the improvement of Washing
ton street from Second street to
the grounds of the Southern Pa
cific Railway Company, the pro
visions calling for a bitulithic or
Hassam pavement and the rail
road track to be made to conform
with the established grade.
An ordinance was passed es
tablishing the city datum and
street grades on Second and
Washington streets and on ar
butting streets that will be in
cluded in the proposed paving.
The Health and Fire, Light
and Water Committees were in
structed to examine into the con
dition of all buildings on Second
street which might be considered
dangerous to the public safety
and to report their findings to
the council. ,
Instructions were issued to the
Fire, Light and Water Commis
sion to confer with the Water
Commission in the matter of the
water mains and piping in the
streets proposed to be paved so
that all unnecessary work in the
future may be avoided.
The council will meet again to
night and it is expected that the
petitions now being circulated
for the paving of Monroe and
Jefferson streets will then be
considered.

Republician says; The town of
Grinnell has let 92,000 yards of
paving at $2.13 a yard. They
call it bitulithic. But Mason
City in that state is likely to get
as durable a paving for a little
more tnan nan 01 that price.
In Mason City it is called simply
a concrete mixture. . Grinnell is
paying tribute to some one else

. Every man returned from the fair in

to the comparative attractiveness of
exhibits, has agreed with the editor's
statement that Oregon's showing is not

who admitted he had not seen other
exhibits, objected and accused the G
T. of "knocking." It is interesting to
note what J. L. Stockton, former head
of the Salem Board of Trade, says.
Speaking of his visit at the fair Mr.
Stockton said that he was very much
disappointed with the Marion county
exhibit. He said that the exhibit was
placed on the second floor where very
few could see it also that the Oregon
exhibit in general was not put together
in a manner to properly exhibit the re
