WHO PATS
THE PUBLICITY EX.
PEJiSE.
Jobbers and wholesalers of Port
land have Just held another enthusl
, astlc meeting and pledged several
hundred thousand dollars for the pur
pose of exploiting Oregon and getting
1n more people. . At.this kind of n:ws
the small dealer in a small Oregon
. city holds up his hands and remarks
what a nervy set of men Portland has.
The first impression Is that Portland
, Jobbers and wholesalers ar;. sinking
deep in their pockets to procure funds
to aid the entire state.
Perhaps a little study will change
your views' Every wholesaler and
Jobber who subscribes to the public
ity fund is making the small dealer
pay the expense. All such expenses
are, charged on thtlr books to the
cost, of doing business. Individuals
do not subscribe only in rare in
stances. It Is not a free will offering,
it Is an additional cost of doing busl
. ness which the retailer must pay. And
l.Vhe retailer In turn docs not charge
the consumer the Increased amount
then he Is out of pocket and carries
th publicity burden while the Port
land Jobfier and wholesaler gets the
credit for to doing. :. ,
Understand, there is no serious
complaint against such a system, but
It Is well to stop and consider who Is
actually ; carrying this load. And
perhapa, if the wholesaler and Jobber
did not' follow this procedure Oregon
would have little money spent in the,
way of advertising. As it now stands
small merchants pay a direct tax and
the state, is advancing rapidly.
The Enterprise News-Record has no
hesitancy whatever in calling spades
spades, etc. It takes m the Haines
murder case, makes conjectures and
conclusions and closes its utterances
by, assuring every reader there will
be no question but the governor will
pardon the- offender If they have
plenty; money and are yet convicted.
Undoubtedly this is drawing the pic
ture a little too severe, although past
records of state affairs would indicate
THE LAST OF THE WILD HORSE.
(Baker Herald.) ?
The capture of the last band of
wild horses In eastern Oregon, while
seemingly an Incident in the news of
the day, nrans more than at first Is
realized.
Hark back to the years when wild
horses roamed the valleys, feeding on
veprptntlnn that th rich noil hnre.
This land had not been found by man
and lay waiting for the tiller and the
builder to com; and makes homes and
build cities as he developed the fer
tile spots. . ' '
In the old days the Indians and the
wild animals roamed at will with-no
one 'to molest. But as the resources
of the vicinity were discovered man
came to till and to build. Homes
swing tin and cities blossomed un
til today eastern Oregon has becom
known as the part of the country that
Is having the greatest growth In the
United States.
As progress comes the children of
nature must make way' for . it. The
Indian is finding his place and has
mpved farther on as man turned the
virgin soil Into productiveness. So
with the wild horse that ruled the
vast country. He must now retire In
favor of civilization. In the last bat
tle' for supremacy 'the leader of the
band fought valiantly but lost. Now
mali is Tuler of the country and the
horse is a servant -in the march- -of
progress.
One cannot think of th: horse riv
ing up his liberty wfthout regret, es
pecially after the noble stand of the
leader, but his subjugation Indicates
a step in the progress of civilization
in this part of thj country.

lost no time in getting back to the

great news, and we were Just discuss

in, looking supremely dejected for the
nrst time on the tour.
"The bathing place isn't open," he
snarled. "Had all the fag of going
there for nothing. , What dirty beg
gars they are!" . . .
"Not all bt futon," I replied. "Don't
you worry, old chap." And I described
to him' the position of the bathroom,
and be was off like a hare. During his
absence we thoughtfully packed our
own bags and his. In ten minutes he
returned, fresh as a mountain daisy
and bubbling over with gratitude.
."What sort of bath did you get?"
I asked carelessly. - , '
. "A clinker," he cried, "and it was
all put ready for me, clean towels
and everything. - The only difficulty I
had was with the cold water wheel
arrangement on the floor." !
"It was a bit stiff." I agreed.
"It turned on all right," said Wilks.
"but I couldn't turn it off."
"What did you do?" we asked to
gether. "I left It." he answered simply.
"What time are we due at the sta

fully Ignored and Enraged, and His
Luxurious Bath Was Shamefully Ap
propriated and Abused.
Parker, Wilks uild I had been "dolmr"
Germany on the cheap, and I don't
know which of us enjoyed it least.
farker grumbled the most, but then
he always did, and, though Wilks and I
tried to look on the humorous side of
things, we lost flesh over It. We' had
happened upon a heat wave and swal
lowed a tremendous lot of dust, and
files thrown in gratis, cheap though our
tariff, was. But we couldn't swallow
the foreign titles that cropped" up
around us. We had too much British
pride for that. And, us luck would
have it, at, the last town of our tour,
we were quartered ou the top floor of
hotel where a German prince occu
pied a suit of rooms. In our opinion.
three English, tourists wen worth more
than thirty Geruiuu princes, und we
dropped our boots ou the floor at night
in the vaiu hope that lie was under
neath. But. alas, his suit was on the
first floor, and we never even caught a
gllmijpe of him. thoujrh once we heard
his high pitched, arrogant, penetrating
voice and the oozy fulsome rejoinders
of bis valet both nrticulatlne a lan
guage which Parker contemptuously
described as "the limit."
It was the last morning of our stay.
Parker and I had gone back to the
hotel to pack our bags before departing
for the station. The weather was hot
ter and dustier than ever, and Wilks,
always energetic, had gone to the pub
lic bathing place on the river In search
of a swim. 1 had a letter to write,
and Parker wandered round the hotel
to kill time. Presently he thrust bis
face lu at the door. It had lost its
familiar lowering look auj wore a
bright and alert expression.
"I say,n he ejaculated mysteriously,
almost under his breath. "I've Just
found a bathroom in this bllchtcd hole
bath full of tepid water, with a ther
mometer In It clean, warmed tow
els on the rail, and all that What
shall I do?"
"Dor i replied. "Get Into It, man.
and let me know when you've finish
ed." He wasnt long and came back look
ing wonderfully young and clean. The
mail had Just arrived and I had spent
a few minutes over my letters before
I also found the bathroom, following
his directions. It was without ezcep-'
tlon the best I have ' ever been in.
and, to my surprise, the big porcelain
bath was half full of tepid water, and
a set of clean, newly warmed toweln
hung bn the rail. I took what the
gods gave and asked no questions, but
I wanted more cold water and ex
perimented unsuccessfully with vari
ous levers on the wall. As a last hope
I attacked a cart wheel affair on the
floor and after a stiff struggle man
aged to turn It. A flood of cold water
(rushed in alone one side of the bath.
and It was all I could do to wrench
the wheel around and stop the flow.
As I did so light came upon me In a
flash. This was the itrlmc's bath, nre-
pared for him a second time by his
obsequious valet. It was the glorious
