The proposal of the Peoples' Power League (W. S. U'Ren) to provide for a commingling of legislative and exec utive authority by giving tho Govern or a voice and a vote in the Legisla tive Assembly with the sole right to introduce appropriation bills Is an ab solute departure from one of the basic principles of constitutional goveru- ,nient a departure so dangerous as to menace the welfare of the state. Somo of our Governors have a hard time i discharging- the ordinary duties of their offices, but when elotneu wltn the power of an Oriental Monarch, there would be no limit to their ar rogance and assumption of official au thority. The proportional representation i scheme, the provision for annual sesr s:ons ot ine legislature, me ueniui 10 tho people of tho right to elect the I principal state officers and tne num erous other fantastic schemes that are propposed by the Peoples'. Power League (V. S, U'Ren) are enough to damn the whole . proposition as one which will be productive of nothing but disorder and confusion in public Affairs with an ever-increasing burd")! upon the shoulders of the long-suffering tax-paying public, v With the .Peoples'; Power League (W. S. U'Ren) endeavoring at each election to destroy the, remnants of representative government In Oregon, with- the doors of the state peniten tiary onened by a complncent Govern or to free a small army of crooks and allow them to go and come at their own sweet will, with the single tax payers engaged in a campaign of pro posed confiscation and with the 1. W. W. hoodlums rioting on the streets of Portland, the condition of public af fairs in Oregon has reached a stage where the thinking element of our cit izenship must arouse Itself.

WHY A TOWN SHOULD HAVE A CHAUTAUQUA. Every town in the United States which is holding a genuine chnutaii qua, Independent of outside dictation, could tell without half trying, why every other town should have a chan tauqua and would have only to nraw on their own experiences lor insir reasons. Of the 1,000 chautaunuas held each year in this country, one halt of them are independent assem blies nnd in this case they occupy about fts permanent, and almost as Im portant a position as the public schools. To tell 'these towns, why 6 chantauqua should be held would be useless. To the citizens of the other thou sands of communities where the influ ence of a genuine chantauqua has not been felt, or in those other still more unfortunate' communities where so cnllfld chautauquas have been put. on w'th the sole purpose of lining the wickets of outside parties, tho ques tion is not so easily answered. t t CO EH W a.

A remarkable cir cumstance with refereiico to this odd lake Is the size of the stones used In its construction. Inasmuch ns the whole of them varies In weight from three tons to 100 pounds. There is abun dance of stones in Wright county, but surrounding the lake to the extent of five or ten miles there are none. No one lias any Idea os to the means employed to bring these stones to the spot or ns to who constructed this lake. Arouiid the entire lake is n belt' of woodland half h mile in length com posed of oak. With thfs exception the country Is n rolling prairie. The trees must have been planted there at the time of the building of the wall. In the spring of the year 1850 there was n great storm, ami the ice on the lake broke the wall In several places. The farmers In tho vicinity were obliged to repair the damages to prevent inunda tion. Tbe lake occupies a ground sur face of 2,800 acres. The depth of the water is as great ns twenty-five feet. The water Is clear and cold; the soil Is sandy and loamy. It Is a singular fact that no one has been able to as certain where tho water comes from nor where it goes, yet it is always fresh and clear.
