THE TIAXLET CASE
Now that an impartial jury has awarded damages to Mr.
Hanley fov right-of-way for the city's gravity pipe line
through his farm, it is hoped that efforts to hold up the
city will cease
If Mr. Hanley has a grievance against the city on ae
him fight it out in the courts and secure damages, if he can,
count of rejection of the Wasson Canyon agreement, let
without trying to block further construction of the present
system.
Mr. Hanley would have done better to have accepted the
city's offer, which was a fair one, permitted the construe
tion of the pipe line across his farm and fought for dam
ages on the old contract separately.
HUNTING A TRIED CHEEK.
"What favors can Sou-rhern Oregon expect to get from
the state government if the members of the legislature
believe that such rot is advocated and believed by the resi
dents of Southern Oregon?" exclaims a bilious joke mas
querading as a newspaper that has awakened from its
habitual lethargy long enough to put somethings beside
clippings in its editorial column.' The "rot" referred to.
is the talk of secession and the creation of a new state.
What favors has Southern Oregon ever received fror.:
the state legislature, or from the rest of Oregon ?
Southern Oregon has been smashed on both cheeks, why
should it hunt a third ? ' i
Southern Oregon has the privilege of paying taxes, and
that is all the benefit it receives from the State of Oregon
that and being hampered in every possible way in its de
velopment by obsolete laws uncjer the dictation of reac
tionaries.
Southern Oregon is going to have the recognition it de
serves, if it has to secede to get it.
' The bilious joke is another member o fthe "Can't do it"
Club and should move to Salem where it would be appreciated.

owing to the fact that that was rniir?

A CLEVER COMEDV
AT THE SAVOY
CALIFORNIA AND OREGON
Under date of August 4, the Press Association carried,
the following dispatch from San Diego :
"By an approximate vote of four to one, the bond elec
tion to appropriate $1,250,000 for the construction of u
system of high ways in San Diego county wax carried at the
polls yesterday.. With the completion of this system, San
Diego county will be in the possession of a network of road
ways second to none in the West."
Think of it ! A single county, and not a rich one, either,
appropriating a million and a quarter dollars for public
highways! And only one of several ronnf making simi
lar appropriation.
That's the way things are done in California.
In Oregon the mossbacks have a fit when the state ap
propriates a hundred thousand dollars for a highway to
make accessible the world's greatest natural wonder, and
so secure the expenditure of millions in 'a. great national
park, and invoke the aid of the courts to prevent t lie ex
penditure. A milion and a quarter for local roads in one county is
not too much in California !
A hundred thousand for a state and national highway
too much for the mossbacks of Oregon !
Could anything illustrate better the difference between
the two states ? Is it any wonder the progressive people of
both Southern and Eastern Oregon want to secede and
leave the Silurian section to vegetate by itself in peace?
Follow the crowd ! Kvervbodv .-
going to the Savoy tonight to laugh
at the clever comedies ".Mixed in Mis
Dinner Dates." and "Looking for Mis
Umbrella."' They are both breezy,
spicy, sparkling comedies of real life
bubbling with mirth.
"The Peasant Prince" is one of the
neatest romatic dramas shown in the
city. The natural scenery is very
beautiful, the ejects beyond belief.
The story is clearly told by the ue
lors, rounding out a finished woik of
art.
The management of the Savoy nrc
running nothing but the latest nnd
best from the world's output of pic
tures. No old pictures are shown
that have been run before in the city.
They have passed the experimental
stage in the moving picture business,
have no breakdowns during the per
formance, and are giving, their pat
rons a good, wholesome entertain
ment. Entire change of program
Friday night, which is "dish night."'
The Savoy cool, cozy one dime.

apricots shiped to Tncoma by T).

33 years ago. "Too much cannot
be said as to the fine ipialily of the
fruit, says the doctor. He evi
dently knows a good thing when he
tastes it.

His pitiful upturned face touched the
heart of one of the clerks and ho was

was culled and his history and trav
