Th . idea of seeking cities and distant point for Invest men t is surely dangerous and there are ninety chances against getting good results ,wher : there Is one chance for It. ' Listen. If there wa "such great money-making possibilitiea In the coast cities, doe It sot occur to you that some of the - moneyed people would, grab them? The money of the country Is now tied up In the cities. Men of standing in metropolises can always get money and plenty of 'It to make a "sure thlngi" specuation. Then why should these ' specuatlons of "extraordinary merit" a the agent term them, be peddled out over the tountry on thejpayment plan;-; Do a little reasoning before you Invest your money.

A BOLL OF HEWS PRINT. Among the sou-venlrs that' are each year sent out to mark the festal sea son, none are more appropriate than those from the office of th Manitoba Free Frees. For 10 years now has 1 maintained the practice of distribut ing among its friends and patrons an annual . token accompanied by a booklet descriptive of the custom, the tradition or the Industry that the tok en represents. No package Is looked for with mote pleasant anticipations than that which, comet from th iw Timm omce each December. ' This season , the box contained "a Mttis roll of news 'prints a perfect miniature of the large rolls from whteh fc newspaper Is prtnted; ; and with It was a clever pamphlet giving a short account of . the paper-making industry and many pertinent facts concerning the supply of pulpwood. From the figures given It appear that Canada : today possesses more than three times 'as much forest area as the United States, twice pa' much as Russia, and greatly more than any other nation. The keynote of the ar gument contained In the pamphlet is (hie (pressing importance to this whole continent of the question of pulpwood supply, as part of the wider matter of wmsemtation of natural resources, which, i compelling the attention of the peoples and the government of this country end the United States the outstanding fatejt: in regard to pulpwood being that the Dominion of Canada, having the greatest area of pulpwood of the1 best ' quality under the operation of scientific forestry methods for the pemetuatlon of that supply of raw 'material, Is destined to become the world's greatest paper manufacturing country Calory Her- TIIE EMIGRANT'S TOCKET BOOK.

That seems to be an Important question nowa days la the eyes of immigration com missioners and others, and the small est amount agreed upon by them Is $50.- -j V Fortunately the question was not raised when the father of the pres ent secretary of commerce and labor landed in this country with only $2 in his pocket ; Probably the father of 'the late Governor Johnson of Minnesota did m not have 150 when he came here from Sweden, yet his contribution of aa eminent son was Vorth 'considerable to the xepiiblfc,' ' 'V "" , ; We. forget just whM A.

H. McBain by Acting, Governor Bowerman " comes as, a surprise to the citi zens of this county as they had no . intimation that such a pardon was even thought of until an account . of Bowerman 's act was published In the Portland ' Journal. It has ' ' met with the most outspoken dls ' approval by, the citizens of this county, where the crime was com mitted. '' What Bowerman 'could have been thinking of Is more than anyone can figure out - ( : U only means the state being put to the expense of another trial because McBain will surely be . tried on the second of the two in dlctment which were found against him at the time of the , shooting, five years ago. No for malities such as circulating a pe tition, etc., were attempted, Bow erman took the whole responsi bility on bis own shoulders. SEED THE WHOLE ARMY. The Portland papers are still wag ing a merciless and relentless war on Imaginary, coyotes in Wallowa county editorially remark Editor Shutt of Joseph. If this foolish hydrophobia scare Is agitated much longer by the city paper it would not surprise us to hear of the entire U. S. army being ordered to come to Wallowa county and hunt down the coyote or two that is left It is just barely possible that the official who Is responsible for all this unnecessary fuss and cackling Is doing this in order to make the public think he Is doing something to earn his salary. . ' Speaker Jerry Rusk is", havinfci a lit tie fun at Salem that was not on the program, says the Joseph Herald. Several sore-bead defeated candidates for speakership, headed by Represen tative Eaton of Lane county,' under took to muster sufficient force among the 60 members to deprive Rusk of the power to appoint the necessary committees. But with his usual smooth work, Jerry soon had their hide on the bavk fence, and the islative mill is grinding along again as smoothly as a saueauge machine. ' i i A Cynical Error.
