The people of Palis are going to
give a two day' programme on next
Monday and Tuesday, July 3d and 4th,
for the eutertalnmeut of the residents
of Polk county aud vicinity, and our
people should give them a large atten

We often wonder why ome people,
who are continually complaining of

state or locality and seek some more
congenial clime. There absence would
work no great hardship on time re

do not believe any court would convict

a Western aheep farm where the owners
make a standing offer of ft for tvery

Here Is what Peter Cooper, who dM
worth many millions, said of a news
paper; "In all towns where a newspa
per is published every man should ad
vertiae In it, if no more than a can:
stating hU uaiue and the business hi
is in. It doe not only pay the adver
tiser, but it lets people at a distance
know the town In which you reside I
a prosperous community of business
men. As the seed Is sown so the seed

sign while you expect to do business.
It Is worth while to Inquire Into the
cause of the withdrawal of the Agri
cultural college fund Croinstute treasury
to Corvallis to be deposited In the tot
tering bank of Humflton, Job A Co.
There was no precedent for the remov
ul of such a fund until It was a needed
expenditure. Was It a scheme of In
terested parties tobolsterupa financial
institution which was at the very time
the deposit was made hopelessly In
volved In bankruptcy? There is plenty
of material In this case for an interest
ing investigation by the proper author-lt'-
"
In the Haudwlch Islands the most of
the lands belong to the government
and It is found much better and cheap
er for the people to rent of the crown
than to own the laud. It would seem
that the Bandwlch Inlands are the Ideal
home of those who favor ownership of
all lands by the government. It would
be an extremely easy matter for the
United States to annex and govern
those Wands if no taxes were raised
excepting from the real estate, and all
revenues could thus be expended In
making the vacant land more desira
ble. Claua Sprcckles, the great sugar
king, has leased a tract of land elg.'.t
miles wide and slxUm miles long, for
a period of thirty years and has ex
pended hundreds of thousands of dol
lars lu its Improvement. He does not
fear being dispossBsw-Hl of his property
by the government.
What .are a dog's legal rights? It
would seem to bo generally supposed
that the. dog has special privileges un
der the law. Is that so? A lawyer In
forms us that under the common law a
dog has no more rights than a donkey,
in fact less, because it can be easily
proved that a donkey Is a useful ani
mal. Ah a matter of fact, unless special
local laws have been passed preventing
It, a farmer can shoot any dog found
prowling about his premises. A sign
like this, "All Dogs Found on This
Farm Will Be Shot!" would be consid
ered ample notification to the public
that dogs were not desired. If thorr(,
Phi It ever occur to some people who
are doing busiuett In a town that they
owe It to themselves as well as the pub
lisher of the local paper In the town to

less degree? No doubt times are haid
aud trade Is doll, but only from the
subscriber and the advertiser call the

expended in helping the aer along
also makes a good showing for the
town as well as attracting custom. If
the business man cannot eud the
sum he would spend lu good limes, k'l
hhn spend a few dollars monthly any
how. The reading public should take
note of those persons who are not pat
ronising the local pas-r, and show
their displeasure lu the most ellV-ctlve
way. by falling to patronize such men,
which in the long run, whether Inten
tionally or not, they always do.
Dreamers sjsok of the unity of Ian

They yclld to a fraternal 'fooling aild

The new Catholic convent building
at liandou will tie a two-story structure
and about 5UxlnO feet. The celling will

Large quantities of flrcordwood are
being shipped from up the Nor'b Han
tlam to Ban Fmnelm-o, via the Oregon
I'uclllc. It costs $1.60 to cut the wood
and deliver It uion the cars, and It
brings $7 In Han Francisco, which al
lows a neat profit beside paying a
fair rate for shipping.
