Proctor Knott dcllvorcd his celebrated, albeit, too lengthy panegy ric on Duluth, which although intended as a slam at an appropriation for the development of that great lake' port, really proved the bent advertisement the plnco could hnve hud, hits there been anything recorded in the pages of thut sterling, conservative publica tion, tho CongrcHsionul Hocui'd, more exciting than the recent npeoch by Representative Nick Simiott of Ore gon, in which ho described Crater Lake 'in the following language: "Crater Lake, caulron-likc and cir cular, 7000 feethigh, is perched amid the peaks. Perpendicular sides of slaggy Java rise over a thousand feet from waters of indigo blue six miles across and 2000 feet deep. "To tho scientist, a mighty volcano collapsed within itself, Mount Mur.a ma, 15,000 feet high, telescoped. "To the poet, 'the sea of silence,' 'a lake of mystery.' "To mo, a shall hole of a war of ' worlds who knows? "Could tho groat blind "poet hnve seen this marvol ero his pen hail Luci fer and his host of rebel angels Hurled hcndlong flaming from the ethereal sky, With hideous ruin and combustion, down in Mlltonic imagory hero he'd found tho Impact."

Thi ii no time to sit firmly back and await 1 for things to fall .to us. The road-! building period is on in Oregon and ii is up to Union and Haker counties to' be on the watch every minute. We i have had the inside call on tha through ; hard-surfaced nmd due to work of nomo of our citiicns, but ,wc will not: fcold it unless we get busy and take cnreof our own.

This would require sever al miles of pipe line, but it would iiImi insure water at all times ami an ex cellent grade of water at that. Balaries are not large, but there are also thousands of people in business and in other walks of life who have had no benefit from war-time prices, There is always recourse for the man in office who believes he is worth more money he can resign. If Senator Thomas would get down to sincere work in the legislature and not try to camouflage his good roads record of two years ago, some might have confidence in his utterances. He belongs to a very select few in Oregon who are always looking for Bomeone to jab in the rear, and he is disap pointed because no one seems to take tho time to do the jabbing. Probably a sharp stick would hold the wily sen ator. Anyway he needs something to wake him up and make him under stand thnt he is fooling no one but himself. The state legislature must brush up a bit. Fine talk about "what yej g'wine to do" is all right, but Oregon as a state wants to see you do it. Secretary of the Navy Daniels' son. while a nlebe in the naval academy at Annapolis, Md,, was severely haz ed by first classmen. Hecently he j resigned from the academy, and hunted ud his chief nersocutor anO gave him a beating. A Chicago druggist fired a shot gun at burglar who entered his store putting the Intruder topflight and thus saving about $175 in his cash drawer, but smashing with the shot a $250 showcase and $250 worth of bottles.

The meetings always do, for the organization is a good one and means a great deal to the welfare of the city. Although Chief of Police Christiansen already had regulation signs ready to install warning auto drivers to slow down in front of the different schools, the advice of the as sociation along that line will have a tendency to strengthen tho movement, and hereafter wo will have less fast driving In front of school buildings. The military police is getting an awful drubbing in the legislature. But at the time the military police was formed the whole water front in Port land was in jeopardy. Strange the Multnomah delegation cannot remem ber a favor granted them only a few months ago. ' But such is life in the selfish city. Hiram Johnson will never be another Roosevelt. Hiram is a big man, but he can't say it with the punch that Teddy could. Portland will insist on wearing the mask. Maybe Portland people will feel better when taking Eastern Ore gon money if th?y have a mask on. If Portland would build better boats she might have a steadier market for them.
