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

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. Had one-fourth the
amount been judiciously expended

in January. St Paul Pioneer
Press. 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

to take our cue from our eastern
exchange and add our congratul
ations. Dalles Chronicle.
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

"I'm going to letch home," taid Mr. Job

"What for?" inquired Mr. Jobaon.

M-. Jobson, having anumed his I-have-.poke

"Don't try to be quite to girty-girly, Mrs.

"Air l:l:e that aren't exactly tecomiiig in

M.-s. Jobton prodtficd a couple of table

"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

go any w. t:t titar it.
"Well, the apring medicine is stirred up

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

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.
