The legislature is greatly handicapped in the practice of economy because it has no constitu tional right to abolish Tom Kay. After February 1, the Espee can adjust its schedule as north bound trains will not have to stop all day at Horn brook, Cal.

This will give better service and reduce the expense one-half. If the weather keeps up its little flinor. it will the buds and blossoms bring, that may not be just the thing, but it s working up an early spring; so looks as if it was time to sing, to make the hills and valleys ring, start the birdies on the wing, it may be loolish but it smells like spring. We must not neglect to mention the bumper New Year's edition of the Oregonian. While true that it is a habit of our big neighbor to swell! several score of pages the first of every year, still that gives us no license to neglect to take off our hat and give a cheer when it passes by.

Butler We are for you Try Independence First Oregon newspaper men in a proposed bill ask the legislature to define what constitutes a newspaper, which may not be a bad idea, but the average editor is content to leave thatmatter to his read ers. Hillsboro Independent. When we look at some so-called newspapers, we are much inclined to doubt the judgment ot the readers. The farmers rule in North Dakota. Forming a non-partisan body, they drove out the politicians and are in possession of every department of the state government. Now they propose to do some legislating in the interest of themselves and the people in general. Their work will be watched with much interest and if their efforts bear fruit, the people of other states will be brave enough to follow their example and do considerable clean ing up on their own premises. o men of distinction passed away lastweek Admiral George Dewey and Colonel William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill). Admiral Dewey's principal .teat was to sink a Spanish fleet in the harbor of 'Manilla and leave an elephant on our hands, tho lit was not entirely Dewey's fault that we were left the elephant as the statesmen of the days of 1898 could not let loose of anything we" got our hands on. Buffalo Bill killed buffaloes the first half of his life and in the second half piloted a 'wild west show over the world. As soon as Bill quit killing buffaloes, we captured the few remain ing and cherished them tenderly and encouraged them mightly to multiply. The wild west show we patronized liberally but hoping inwardly that Semi-Tropical Southern California CALIFORNIA-with its oranges, its Winter flowers, its beaches, its mountain resorts, its time-stained missions, its delightful sunshine and out-of-door life surely the call is irre sigtable in January.
