Major Animated Windbag Sears, "was in evidence at the meeting c! the Irrigation Convention and air ed his peculiar views. We should look upon his actions with a large degree of allowance for there is no no doubt but that the malady from which. he is suffering is hydroce phalus, perhaps caused from too r,,i,Mi irrifrntion. If the old man 144 VtV" "Q 1 would take a six months layoff in put upon bis name. the mountains ol some oi uie nnu regions lie might secover in time to yet be of considerable use to the state.' wise man of the olden Mime was eminently correct when he warned, "Snare the rod and enoil thechild." It is likoly that the rod is resorted to too often in some cases. But there are times when there is noth- ine else between heaven and earth that will properly take its place." About fifty representative cit izens of this county were present at the irrigation convention in Portland and did good work for Grand Old Crook. There is no doubt that had we not had a goodly representation at the meeting it would have fallen into tha hands of the land grabbing schemers that have infested the State Capital for several years, past and hava made fortunes off the public land busi nes of the state. Had (ieorge W. Davis used his ability in the right direction he might have made a bigger steal than he did and not have had the stigma of embezzler At this time of year we should look into the future and in this re gard we should examine into the matter of high water in the spring. This paner has mentioned several times the fact that the bridge across theOchoco needed fixing and if there is a sudden rise in the creek in the spring it will need it badly. Last spring we had no high water and therefore no fear of a washout, but from present indications there will be plenty of snow this winter and then we may look out for high water. Two vears ago good money Was thrown away while the water was up in saving the bridge from going out.

Not that we had to go way from home to learn the news, for we might have said to the Pioneer, "I told you so," but were waiting for license to publish the good news. During her viit to Mr. and Mrs. Brooks, Miss Cowles has, by her genial, whole souled manner proven herself a charming young lady, 6uch a one as his friends would have chosen to be the life companion of so worthy a man as Lour popular district attorney UUIll'g I . i-vm.

A recent issue of the Oregonian stated in effect, that there hacineen ignorance displayed by the State Dr King.8 jjew Li(e Fils. Thousands i TWrl in the matter of some . . . of the irrigation schemes in this county. We believe this to be a mistake, as there is no reason to infer that the Board did not have the fullest information in the mat ter. Agents and examiners have been in this-county sines e-rly last spring investigating all the big propositions and there can be no doubt but that the Board knew just what the conditions were in this county as well, or better, than any of our citizens. Again we would respectfully ask what dis position was made of the difference between f 1.25 per acre and the selling price of lieu scrip? This was handled by the State Land Beard. Another little item. Last summer the Journal was favored with the publication of the notices of calls for scalp bounty warrants until we had somethiug to ask about a matter concerning some action of the Board when all such notices were withdrawn. The election is now over and we shall air a few actions of this dignified body. One of our exchange editors has evidently been a school teacher at some stage of his life judging from the following: "A public school principal finds a reckless school boy trespassing on the school grounds and using vile and abusive language. . He attempts to restrain him and has him arrested. The boy pleads guilty, promises to do better, and his sentence is suspend ed during good behavior. Then the announcement is made that the principa.l might have avoided the trouble had he known how to get alone with bovs. -Indeed! Hid might have submitted VI the out rageous and impudent conduct of the bov. The old fashioned school teacher would have worn out stout hickory on the boy, and no arrwt would have been necessary And the father of the boy, if he had one, would have worn out another There is too much of this sugar candv business these davs. The of sufferers have proved tlieir match less merit tor Sick and Nervous Head aches.

Jobaon reluctantly replied that the thought rt U right in lome aapecla, but- , ' "There art no buta' about it," aaid itr. Jobion, in hie most impressive juv!i-i.l tone.

"Air l:l:e that aren't exactly tecomiiig in a penwo til your years." M.-s. Jobton prodtficd a couple of table spocris and imnded one of them to Mr. Jobsan.

Hi tvLntesance looked mitfhtily dis torted by trie time he had swallowed the stufT, iii.d jultittered and coughed a lot over it ;ar n.ne time. "Do uu like it as well as you did when you weie a young one?" inquired Mrs. Job son. "It 'a g'cat!" spluttered Mr. Johson, but he diHn't say it in a onv raring way. He diiii't hive his neuul appetite for breck faat, nnd he looked thoughtful throughuit the meal. Ht; wasn't feeling well, he said, when he returned home that evening, pr;d he went touted rarly. When he made his a;;f-".r-ao-e in te dining-room for break faft Mr. Job.;on was a(.'aio hoverinj? over the sul phur and molaMes crock. Mr. .Jobaon didn't go any w. t:t titar it. "Well, the apring medicine is stirred up and w.ii;ing," naid Mrs. Jobson. Mr. Job son pretended to be so irrtereMtd in the headlines of the morning paper tbat he didn't htar her. "Are you ready for the blood purifier?" inquired M n. Jobson again, and again Mr. Jobson pi et aided that he hadn't heard. Then Mrs. Jobson walked right over to where he had plumped himself in a chair and fraid: "My dear, shall we take our sulphur and molasses now" "Huh!" said Mr. Jobson, making believe that he had just emerged from his trance. "Our spring medicine, you know' said Mrs. Jobson. "0!i." said Mr. Jobson, sternly "you mean that beastly deeoction that you forced upon me yesterday morning, do you. No, Mrs. Jobion, I, for or.e, am not n-o-t, not going to take it this morni::g or any other morning.

Tne crock of sulphur and molawes went into the garbage can by the time the slop ffentlemasi sot around that morniag, and Mrs. Jobson never deposited anything in that receptacle that did her so much flood.
