IT'S GOOD COMPETITION.
The Morning -.Mail instead of answering the issues
raised by The Tribune regarding its circulation affidavit
gives the editor of The Tribune a slap on the wrist and
calls him a naughty, man. Whatever The Tribune editor
in and his personality doesn't concern the public, he isn't
a sissy, nor does his editorial-column consist of ungram
inatical gush and sickening slush sandwiched between scis
sored stuff.
The Tribune has no quarrel with the Mail. The two
papers arc not in the same class, in news, editorials, make
up or circulation. Fair comparison can only favor The
Tribune. The papers, day by day, speak for themselves
louder than perjured affidavits and stolen editorials can
possibly do.
The Mail is certainly as good competition as The Tri
bune could have. It is an overgrown country weekly, with
the earmarks of the country sticking out like the fretful
spines of the porcupine. Its policy is the customary color
less policy of some country papers, as firm as the jelly
1 ish, as direct as the crab, as grasping as the devil fish
It has as many legs for running away from a subject as a
centipede, and the few thought waves that permeate it are
dnctured with the beautiful astral glow that emanates fron
that delightful pharisaisni that prays on the mourners
bench tor a tew pennies out of the collection.
The Mail is very proud of its mushroom growth-
which is a a solid and stable as the toadstool yet the Mai 1
lias been long established and it is as hollow within as oik
of those old oaks whose heart; has long been eaten out and
only the twisted1 gnarled shell remains to give sustenance
to its writhing scanty top.
"Did anyone ever hear of one of those immunity bath
Jellows. being reappointed to ofhee?" queries the Mail
Sure; that's sometimes part of the bargain especially
when the reappointment is made at the instance of special
agents whom the immunity bather helped make a record
by turning states evidence and so helping convict his neigh-
. nors wlnle saving himself.
"Aviator Brown dropped down ou us yesterday, but we
were not hard hit, as wc were fully prepared for him,"
says the Mail editorially. Does it refer to Arthur and
his "circumstances alter cases?"

IOUND HEAD OF MAN
MINUS THE BODV
MIHSon.A. Mont., Xov. 24. The
head of n man, iiiinns the bodv, is in
I'lssession of the police today and ef
forts are being made lo identify il.
eninber of soldiers were walking throng
Dead Man ' gulch 12 miles south of Mis
soulll, and discovered the henil partly
hidden lienenlh a pile of brush. On the
eppor lip was a mustache. After spend
tug some time in a vain search for the
body, the soldiers brought the head
here. One theory is that medical stu
dents placed the head under the brush
nhile another one is that the man was
murdered.

CONSIDERED CHANGES IN
JOHNSON ROAD BILL
I'OHTI.AND, Or., Nov. 24. Changes
in I he Johnson road bill worn eonsidered
yestcrdny by committees representing
Ihn gorlij roads workers of this stnte.
Tile sessions were held in tho Commer
cial club convention room, one in the
morning mid another last night. Change's
ilecided upon the bill wero of a minor
I'haracler, and it appears likely that the
measure fathered by Senator A. A.
Johnson will be practically as originally
.ration wnen it is siiliiuitted to the
coining session of the legislature.
I'erhaps the most important nindifi
ntioli made by the committees rep
resenting tho different organizations of
the state interested in good ronds was
the proposition to do away with the
road engineer provided fur in the bill.
and the foreman of the state road com
mission, will, it is expected, carry on
the work proposed io be iloue by the
state engineer.
Those in nttendance were a number
of the best known workers in the irood
roads movement in I he stnte. Thev
were. A. A. Johnson, chairman: .ludire
T. F. Ryan, secretary; Judge I,. A.
Webster, Judge J. II. Scott, .1. IV I,ee.
A. Mason, Kugeue Palmer, Heiitoii
llowers, K. M. (lill, II. M. I,onnsdeli
and W. II. Fitzgerald. They form the
joint committees on good roads of the
Oregon state grange, the Oregon llood
lloads nssociation, the Oregon Oood
Koads conference anil tho Oregon Fed
nit ion oi Labor.
SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. 2-1. Harry
I.. Hleeekor, i-hairuiun of the executive
committee uf the Northwest Electrical
Light & Power association, has called
a special meeting of the lust named or
ganization for December 18, at Port
land, to discuss a plan to fumiliurize
eastern iuvestora with the opportune
ties in the smaller towns in the north
west, especially in places where elec
tric power may be distributed for irri
gation purposes. The larger cities have
been provided for. The committee will
ilso take up tho question of establish
ing a uniform rate for electric liglit
.ng companies in these towns, where
loine concerns are riipning at a loss,
Vhile others are making overcharges.
Publicity Company Planned.
A publicity company iB planned un
ler the supervision of the association
or tho development of tho entire north
.vest, the territory embraced including
iVashington, Idaho, northern Oregon
ind western Montana. Important im
irovcments and necessary extensions for
the sinnller towns of this territory have
leeu handicapped by lack of capital,
mil the failure heretofore to conviuce
astern capital of t lie marvelous possi
bilities and fields for investment iu
'loctricnl securities. Eastern capital is
Jiy of theso securities in towns of 4000
ind .1000, comparing western cities with,
those of the same size in the east, which
'nstead of increasing, show less popu-'
ntinu, sometimes, at the end of ton 1
years, while tho reverse is true of i
western cities, which forgo ahead with
remeudoiis strides.
)REGON APPLES ON
EXHIBITION IN NEW YORK
llood River npples on display in New
Vork may not be a mntter of surprise
'n I ho people of Oregon, who hrivo come
to know that fruit grown iu this suite
s cnpablo of attracting favorable at
tention wherever shown, but it is a fair
guess to makfi that tbe recent exhibi
tion in the metropolis of Hood lliver np
ples will surprise residents of that part
of tho country becnuse of the fact that
Oregon produces bo much superior fruit
to that grown in otjier parts of the
ountry. Steinhardt & Kelly nf New
Vork, the firm that contracted with the
pplegrnwer.i' union of llood Tlivor for
tearly the entire product of the season,
idvertises in the eastern papers nn ex
'libition of about 00 varieties of npples
'n their placo of business, nil of which
inino from Oregon. They say in tho
advertisement that the exhibit is the
most wonderful nnd unitjuo over held in
tho east,' and is of the finest apples
frown in tho world.

of the "cash to buy good fruit land, is the
plaint of many homeseekers. We happen
to have on our list several first-class tracts,
ou terms so easy they will almost pay for
themselves. There never was a better time
to buy fruit lands in this valley than today;
and when the reaction conies these "easy
buys" can be subdivided and sold at a big
profit. Interview the

Up Here In
The Northwest
there's no need for shipping in carloads of cereal cof
fee. Made from our own good wheat, made in a
clean, successful right-at-home factory, is
Golden Grain Granules
a strictly northwest product with absolute merit.
For years people of "Washington, Tdaho and Oregon
have been using it instead of coffee, and it stands
without a peer for a high-grade cereal coffee. Ask
your grocer for a box and give it one trial. The pack
ages are larger than ordinary cereal cof foes and cost
only 25e.
All grocery sell it.
