The First Nutionul hank has installed
ia one o f its large vaults two sections
of the inosi modern burglar proof snfe
ty de|Hisit boxes. They ure not only
made burglar proof *to a high degree
but it is impossible to open them ex­
cept by the use o f two keys, one of
which remains in the possession of the
bank. By this method no one who
should find a key to one of the-boxes,
or who hud not been Ui ven authority to
go to one o f thw boxes, would be able
to get into nny o f them. The south
partition of the counting room of the
bank will lie moved forward several

The funeral o f Wm. Hkidmore waa
held Wednesday at Comstock, tbe W.
O. W. lodge from Drain being in charge
of the service! ta the grave. Death
occurred Mouday at a Eugene hospital,
where be had been taken following
serious injuries sustained in an acci­
dent. He was tearing down his saw­
mill, whieh he bad sold, and while he
was working on tbe sawdust conveyor,
built of railroad iron, tbe structure fell
onto him, inflicting serious injuries at
the base of the skull and to tbe back
and probably internally.
Mr. Hkidmore waa born in Iowa and
waa 57 years o f age. He moved from
Iowa to Kansas and in 1890 to Leona,
moving a year later to Comstock. For
a number of years he divided his time
between his ranch and his sawmill but
had not operated the mill for several
years. The wife and the following
children survive: Walter, who is at
home; Mrs. Mary Hunt, o f eastern
Oregon; Miss Maude, who ia teaching
at Tillamook, and William, who is at­
tending the University o f Oregon.
The Hentinel has been informed
through H. C. Voatrh, who ia something
of a pioneer himself nnd a good ad­
vertisement of the productivity o f the
Cottage Drove country, that an error
was made In the story about O. C.
Martin, Cottuge D rove’s first post­
master. He says that N. II. Martin,
former eity councilman was not a son
of the obi poet master, which was stated
in the recent story in The Hentinel.

(By Elbert Bede.)
An unexpected nnd somewhat start­
ling incident interjected into the closing
hours of the special session waa the de­
nunciation of misrepresentation of the
doings of the assembly by the presa, in
which Representatives L. E. Bean and
D. M. Graham, both 0f Lane joined with
Representative A. A. Hunth, o f Baker,
and Put Gallagher, of Malheur, in im
passiuued excoriation of the offending
reporters. The Portland Telegram was
particularly singled out because of a
nasty slur at Mr. Hmith.
During several sessions I have been
surprised at the inuccurate statements
made by reporters who have no other
business tbnn to get the proceedings cor­
rectly, even the usuully reliable und de­
pendable Oregonian sometimes being nn
offendor. 1 am convinced thnt the errors
are not always unintentional, although
the one that brought down the condem­
nation by the members of tho house of
the newspapers generally probably was,
and yet absolutely inexcusable when so
seriiius a thing as a man's houor and in-
tegrity were at stake.
Metropolitan Ignorance.
Aa en example of what 1 would single
out aa uot altogether unintentional er­
ror, a Portland democratic newspaper
emblaxuued its front page with the
startling nows that the legislature had
rubbed the people of a birthright, the
Australian ballot, und had substituted
in its place the straight party ticket.
Had a grammar grade pupil been
editing this paper, he would not have
made uu error so plainly the result of
ignornnee o f the machinery of election,
for the grammar grado pupil learns that
tho Australian ballot means a secret
ballot, the printed ballot to be fur­
nished by the government and not by
parties or factions, as was the case be­
fore tho adoption of tho Australian
ballot. Were the members of the legis­
lature as blnck as this paper frequently
has painted them it is not believable
that they would have dared to take ac­
tion so bruxen.
Straight Party Tick St.
But the legislature did not even take
from the electors the privilege o f vot­
ing a ticket split six ways from the
middle if they so desire, us this news
paiier story tried to muke its readers
believe. It will be just as easy as ever
to split the ticket in any manner de
sired, but if a democratic president
should ever again appeal for the elec­
tion of a straight democratic ticket,
his wishes could be carried out by the
simple action o f making one cross in
a place designated for that purpose.
• • •
What got the bile of the legislators
the most was that none of these glar
ing and malicious misstatements are
ever corrected by those making them.
» » •
While speaking of the so-cnlled
straight party ticket, which is now
the form o f the ballot in Oregon, as it
probably ia in sumo other states, it is
designed to make more secure the elec­
tion of tho candidates of the majority
party by making it convenient to vote
the entire ticket in one operation.
There ia no question thnt it is at the
same time a measure that will save the
state mnny thousands o f dollars in the
saving of time in recording the vote.
It is just as well to tell the whole
truth.

Legislators Regular People.
The members of the legislature arc
no better and no worse than the ordi­
nary run of mankind. The majority
o f them are just average men, most
o f them are men who stand well in
their communities, they arc neither
freaks nor supermen and neither sense­
less nor sock less. They are influenced
by tbe same things that might influ­
ence the rest o f us. In what some
might term a selfish effort to get
something for their own particular part
o f the state they are subject to the
same influences that we at home are
subject to in gnining some end at
which we aim and probably in such
case might mnke a business bargain
the same as we at home might make
a similar bargain in a business deal.
In years past it has undoubtedly hap­
pened that rotten legislation has been
ut over by this so-called log-rolling,
ut in the several sessions whieh I
have attended I have seen this ten­
dency gradually decrease until in this
most-recent session it seemed a most
nelfttgH»le quantity, for whieh fact the
|>eople of the state may well offer
praise to the One on high.*
• • •
Members Did Tbair Bast.
Almost without exception the mem­
ber» gave the best that was in them,
they gave both day and night to their
labors and for the paltry three plunks
per day they sacrificed private busi­
ness and private and public character.
A few took themselves too seriously, a
few were too irrepressibly funny and
a few may have been attempting to
provide for political futures by un­
called for and unwarranted per'fervid
flights o f oratory, but aa a whole they
were a bunch of good fellows, honest
and sincere men.
• • •
Newspapers to Blame.
It is my contention that newspapers
which print acurriloua screeds which
they take no pains to verify, are
themselves largely responsible for the
condition against which they inveigh,
so fur as it exists, for by their men­
daciousness they discourage from seek­
ing public office the very men who
would represent and stand for the very
things for which they profess such so­
licitude.

John Dill is well qualified both in

Senators Have Fun.
That men are only boys grownup
was demonstrated in the closing hour
o f the session when the dignity o f the
august senate gave way to play that
relieved the taut nerves, the tired
minds and the listless bodies of tbe
members, that caused old sores to be
forgot and let good fellowship and pan­
demonium reigu supreme. In the larger
house the decorum grew more notice­
able as the end drew near but the
trials and tribulations o f six or seven
busy days (according to whether one
went by his own or the official time­
piece) vanished in air after the calen­
dar hnd been cleared and there was a
loafing period while the engrossing
committee and a conference committee
delayed the orderly and triumphant
progress o f legislation.

Although one of the frailest physi­

That very aerious damage has been
done to all fruit of this section, ia the
belief of D. W. Wilson, of the state
horticultural department, who is spend­
ing several weeks here. He explains
the damage by saying that repeated
freezing followed by weather that
caused the sap to run, resulted in the
souring of the sap and the killing of
many trees and berry vines from the
ground up. As far as his investiga­
tions have gone he finds that peach
trees and all berry vines have been
the most seriously injured. Even the
Evergreen blackberry, which nothing
haa ever before affected, has been a
severe sufferer. Mr. Wilson has not yet
examined the extensive fruit tracts at
Lorane.
