The advocacy of a land court to try
out all differences between the gov
ernment and the settler Is one of the
best things for Oregon that cuuH hiip
jien.' All are familiar with the spe
cial agent game the Interior depart
ment Is practicing upon homweuilers

for a man to imr-iove a hon.csle:id

This is all wrong for If there ia a
person in the world that the United
States government should be lenient
with It Is the man who is trying to
turn sagobruBh land Into a productive
field. Borah of Idaho realizes the true
altuatlon and he is lambasting the de
partment Just an It deserves. But
the senators from. Oregon are saying
nothing and doing less. The people
now have a chance to elect a man In
Bourne's placo who will, instead of
Blaying golf, attend to Oregon's aftalra
and look after such things as a fed
eral land court. As a state Oregon
lias an opportunity to elect a man
who is an Oregon man. Bear this In

As the time draws nearer when the
new congressional district will select
a congressman, or rather the repub
licans will select a candidate which
means virtually election of that can
didate, there is no question but what
the fight lies between George Coch
ran of La Grande and Nick Sinnot of
The Dalles.; , When ex-Congressman
Ellis entered the fight it was at a late
.hour and many pf his former frlend2
had decided whom they would support

with a strong support there has been
a change of sentiment and Sinnott and

SELL1XG PETITION INDICATIVE
Even thus early In the campaign,
and almost before, active steps have
been taken by candidates . to bring
about a strong support for their elec
tion, reports from various parts of the
state show that the progressive' can
didate for United States senator, Bon
Selling, Is regarded as the proper man
for the place, and will receive, the
support of the best people of Oregon.
The petition of Mr. Selling, which
was filed with the secretary of state
March 8, contained B818 names. Ev
ery one of these names was that of a
prominent citizen. The list of names
Included representatives from the en
tire state. No county was omitted.
This was a significant contrast to the
petition presented by the present sen
ator, ..Jonathan Bourne, who. is a can
didate for re-election,, and . who se
cured no signers at all from. Coos
county. .
Recent reports from Yamhill coun
ty indicate that Mr. Bourne was hard .

given the cold shoulder, and when the'
petition was forwarded to the editor :

signatures because no one could be
found willing to undertake the office
of securing signers even , when pay
was offered for the undertaking...
Further reports strengthen the fact
that Mr. Selling is a strong candidate
from Yamhill county. That this is
not due to apathy on the part of the
citizens there is also evident from the
fact that the campaign for other can
didates, those tor county commission
ers, sheriff, county surveyor and dis
trict attorney, promise to be as hot
as any in the history of the county-
SALT AMD ICE.
The Process That Begins When the
. Two Are Mixed.
It Is not -correct to say that salt dis
solves Ice. since real solution only takes
place when a solid, liquid or gas la
dissolved in a liquid. - -
The true explanation of the fact tb.it
Ice melts when common salt is added
to It depends upon the simple physical
principle that when a sail Is dissolved
in water beat is absorbed and its tens-
Perature Is loweied. When salt and Ice
are roixea logemer some or rue salt
dissolves In the small amount of' wa-
ter which is always present, the tem
perature Li thereby lowered, and a new
freezing point Is established.
The remainder of the ice. being at a
temperature higher; than this new
freezing point, slowly melts, and more
salt ia dissolved until the solution is
saturated. The temperature can in this
way be lowered to 22 degrees C. which

requires a greater degree of cold to

A Post to Whom Candy Brought Better

The best buslut'ss in i'aris is said to

fcien rei-oKiilwd. It . Is "said. 'since the
days of Napoleon III. and his natural
brother, the Duke do Moray. "The
duke." says I.e.Crl 'de Purls, "had a
weakness fur writing vaudevilles and
often asked the counsel of Siruudlu,
who was a skillful collaborator of
Clalrvllle. .
"But the theater brought no riches to
Slraudln. One day Morny suid.to him:
'My friend.' I want to see thee lu a

trades were represented there all ex
cept one; that, was the confectioner,
and Morny gave to Slluudiu the neces
sary capital to establish himself as a
merchant of bonbons. Slraudln Ingen
iously conciliated the lyric muse. He
wrapped his pralines, his sugar plums
and his chocolates in kiss papers, each
inclosing his printed verses. Morny did
better than estnbllsh hira. He . fre
quented his shop. As the duke was the
king of the world of fashion, be drew
all Paris by bis example, and the for
tune of the poet-confectioner Slraudln
was made."
