Reference to the'rec-' ord of Mr. Bowerman as a member of the state senate during the last six years shows that in 1907 he actively MUkM iU i u vuwuiwul Ul I Dili . creating the Oregon Railroad Commission.-At the 1909 session of the legislature It was none other than Mr. Bowerman, as president Of the senate, who forced from a committee the measure providing for a constitution al miienuuieui i-uiiienius uu tun eiaic the authority to proceed wlth the construction of railrpada deemed nec essary to the state s development erman Is advocating a public service commission which shall have regula tion and control of all gas, water and electric light plants and Btreet rail way systems In the Interest and for the protection of the general public. "We submit to the voters of the state Jf this is such a record or the prom ised performance of a man tainted by .corporation control or influence. Cer tainly thetie facts conclusively contro vert the baseless allegations that were being made against the Republl can nominee." ' i r life into disfavor. In other worfis, the American people have outgrown the village with its humdrum, it etagca j tlon, its lack of Incentive to action. The cry "back to the country" has resounded far and wide. Its answer 1 has passed the village by, leaving it to tradition and to memory. Rural free delivery has deprived It of the pres tige of a postoffice; the trolley line passes through it, halting lor . a mo ment on its way, to the more attrac tive rural districts beyond. It offers nothing to enterprise, "little In the way of educational opportun'ty or so cial pleasure. It la simply humdrum therefore distinctly un-American in the restless, eager progressive Inter pretation of that term. ' TILLAGE LIFE IX DISFAVOR. . Village life does not Beem to be In favor with-' the American ! reople. . While urban growth In cities having a population or tu,uuu ana less is marked In vthe returns or the thir teenth census, the village, of a few hundred or a thousand people no lon ger multiplies. The preference la for the city not exceeding 50,000 In popu lation and for the rural districts, now SO well served by postal delivery and trolley lines. This Is not to be regretted. While many of the best traditions of the country cluster around the village green, the village store, the village church and parsonage, and the village postoffice, village life Is proverbially narrow, given to scandal and produc tive of idleness, especially among men and boys. Thise facts, together with petty scandals brewed by idle nets and narrowness of view among women have Justly brought village SESATOR E0LL1YER A "DOER." In the death of Senator, Dolllver of Iowa, the United States senate loses a valuable personage. He was a progressive but not radically so. He believed In progress but could scarce ly be termed an Insurgent. Jonathan Prentice Dolllver, Repub lican, of Fort Dodge, was born near KIngwood, Preston County, Va. (now West Virginia), February 6, 1858; graduated ' from the '.University .of West Virginia, was admitted to the bar in 1878; never held any political office till elected to the fifty-Bret Con gress as a Representative from the Tenth Congressional district of Iowa; was- a member of the House also on the Flfty-econd, Fifty-third, Fifty fourth. Fifty-fifth mil Piy-lti . greases. August '23, 1900, was appoint ed United States Senator to fill the vacancy, caused by the death of Hon. J. H. Gear, and was elected January 21,. 1902, to succeed himself, over John J. Seerley, Democrat, by a vote of 120 to 26. Re-elected in ' 1907. His term of service would have expired on March 3, 1913. V ' r Out In Elgin there is a newspaper published called the Recorder which could be a. vehicle of benefit for that community, but which unfortunately Is not of much value. In Its last Is sue It s&ys many things about, the Observer and its editor, one charge being that we have not yet become acclimated. It acclimation means to follow In the Recorder' footsteps deliver ua from it It would be libel on the pure air and bright Bunshlne to think that long residence in this val ley would cause one to take on the Recorder's ways and methods. Our adlvceto the young man who carries the responsibility of being editor of the Recorder 1b to broaden out, cease running In the narrow groove, give the people of Elgin a live local paper they deserve and Join the great move of advancement and progress' that Is now going on In this valley. ' A. W. Lafferty, nominee for con gres in this district, is to speak in Elgin Tuesday afternoon and In Un ion that evening. He has many things to tell the people from the progres sive republican point of view and ev ery resident of these districts should hear him. Lafferty haa already shown his energy and enthusiasm by going out and winning the republican nom ination In this district and a man who can do that as he did has ability. It 111 becomes Oswald West to raise the cry of corporation man against Bowerman when West Is wholly sat isfactory to the . railroads of Oregon, although he has been their boss for GEORGE PALKEB, Pres.

Trapping MutkraU. Numbers of mechanical traps to catch muskrats have been Invented and tried, bat none gives more satis faction than the old floating barrel trap that has been In use for many years. Both ends are left closed, and a hole about eight by twelve Inches square is sawed In the side. A strong cleat Is nailed across each end, the cleats projecting six or eight Inches beyond the barrel, and upon the cleats are nailed two boards, one on each side of the barrel and several inches longer. Water then is placed Is the barrel so that it will float with the'board plat forms about oo a level with the sur face of the pond or stream. About one-third of the barrel remains above water. . Apples, carrots and ether deli cacies that the muskrat likes are placed in the barrel In their attempts to get the bait the animals fall into the barrel and are unable to get out Ex change. ' ' ' N Proving His Authority. There was an Irish foreman of a gang of laborers who went to any lengths to show his men that be was the real boss.
