M'i ; 7iyli CASK, OF SWELLED HEAD.
i The Mail is suffering from a bad rune of swelled head,
1 and", like the flv on the grindstone, imagines it turns the
f-.w.j'ld around. " Newspapers, like individuals, sometimes
? 'think themselves of great importance, and a fourth diinen
U sion'is needed to measure the Mail's pomposity. i
Thursday the Mail gloated over the fact that it had
elected Taft president, and when The Tribune undertook
, , . to givo it due credit for the republican landslide, assumes
! l ' that "The Tribune must have claimed, credit for the elec
;. tion of Mr. Chamberlain and the defeat of Mr. Cake,"
which is an unfounded assumpt ion, for The Tribune never
' '' claimed any such credit. But Chamberlain carried Med
fnrd bv 144 plurality and Jackson county by 480 plurality.
" ' Both arc heavily republican, and The Tribune was the
onlv paper in the county advocating Chamberlain s elec
tionso, if it had cared to brag, there would have been
some excuse.
"The trouble, however, with The Tribune, is it is like
nnto all other prophets 'it is of no honor in its own coun
. try,' " preaches the great religious daily. It depends
whether or not an immunity bath is the standard of honor
if it is, The Tribune pleads guilty to a lack of it. At
- any rate, The Tribune, though making no religious pre
tenses, is familiar enough with the scriptures to quote then;
correctly.
"Now that Medford is to have Fish lake water, what
do you say to changing the name to Mount Pitt lake? You
will not need to 'elect Bliton a congressman' to do this
All you have to do is to forget about Fish lake and speak
of it as Moimi Pitt lake," is one of the Mail's phosphores
cont. kiipwhHohs. The onlv wav to do it will be to elect
. v r-io "
Bliton to congress, for there is no such mountain as Mt
Pitt, the legislature having changed the name of the peal
to Aft. Afi-Louirhlin rears airo. as everv schoolboy know?
and as it appears upon all recent maps.
"There are more seats in the band wagon, and Putnan
may get on, but he will have to behave properly" pat
ronizingly asserts the Mail. "How we apples swim!'
. The editor of The Tribune was never noted for climbing 01
hand wagons he never changed his politics to go with
the majority or to get an office, as some other editors
have, and is Chauvinistic enough to cling to an ideal, rt
gardless of its popularity. Nor does he recognize the Mail
as driver of Mod ford 'h ear of prom-ess or observe the
gyrations of a weathervaue as a fit standard of behavioi

Hncritice of trout in the ditches.
. Tlio law provides for the protection
of fifih bv retitiiring screons to be plac
ed at the intuko, but all the operators
of the irrigation ditches are agreed
that the mnintaining of screens is im
practicable and assert with reason that
the fish must not bo prevented to inter
fere with the irrigation of the cultivated
land. How long, then, will the Apple
gate be a trout stream, with tlio ditchcH
lest roving myriads of fish every year?
The Applegate emptier into Hogue river
ami the later into me ocean, ana imhii
hJ. reams will receive perennial supplies
of fish from the sea but it in not likely
in the case of the Applegate that this
supply will ouunl the destruction that
results from irrigation. But irrigation
is of much greater imparlance than the
fish supply, and the trout will have to
go, unless some practical scneme is uo-
vised for protecting them.
The smaller streams that are com
pletely drained for irrigating purposes,
of course ccaso to bo fish streams.
Thero does not seem to lie any remedy
for this, and as the work of irrigating
progressess the number of trout streams
will steadily decrease. It ih not a
pleasant prospect for the followers of
Isaac. Walton, but it seems to bo in
evitable. lu regard to the mining ditches, there
does not appear to be any complaint of
destruction of fish. The reason is this
probably is that the water after serving
the mine goes back to the st re:im a
giin, while irrigation water goes into
the ami or is evaporated.

IMPORTANT TO SHIPPERS.
A CAMl'AIG'.X OF DISHONOR.
That, n determined effort will be made to thwart the
expressed will of the people of Oregon and prevent the
election of (leorge 10. Chainhcrlain as United States sen
ator at the ('oniing session of the legislature is already
apparent. The Oregonian and other corporation ' and
partisan organs are busy trying to prejudice, by partisan
appeals, the minds of the people.
When the people of Oregon voted for Chamberlain
for senator and for legislators pledged to carry out the
will of the people they knew what they were doing in elect
ing a democratic senator, just as they knew what they were
doing when they elected a republican president.
Only in one way can the election of Chamberlain be
prevented and success assured in this campaign of dis
honor, and that is by violation of pledges given the peo
ple by the legislators, and repudiation of public promises
by those who secured these offices by these promises.
The conspirators against the people plan to have cer
tain representatives resign and others absent at the right
time, and so indirectly violate pledges as well as to have
still others openly disregard them. My this means it is
hoped to secure a majority and elect some other person
than Chamberlain, preferably Fulton, who is the main
spring of the conspiracy.
The only way to accomplish the desired result; and
thwart the will of the people is by bribery and every leg
islator who resigns, is absent, repudiates pledges or other
wise dishonors the electorate will be branded as a corrup
tionist in the minds of bis constituents and he had better
make the price high enough to enable him to leave the
country.
It is only a few months ago that Senator Fulton was
fniblieing thanking (lod that the old methods of bribery
lad been done away with and that Oregon had found a
new and better way to choose its senators. And yet here
he is jilotting the triumph of the dollar over the people.

Some time since The Tribune' called attention to the
faet that the Rogue River Valley railway had erected a
depot which was rented almost entirely for commercial
purposes and was of little convenience to the traveling
public, which has a dark closet in the H'ar assigned as a
waiting room and a bench outside to sit on. The state,
railroad commission has called the attention of District
Attorney Mulkev to tho violation or the state law and or
,W,1 Inn tn t.iko such action as he deems Kroner, lhere
is a heavy penalty for each violation.
