NewspajH'rs, as a . rule, do not vary a great deal from the usual run of human beings. The dif ferent degrees of temperament, the predominating characteristics, the hate, the spite, the revengeful nees, the influence for good or bad, the basic principles of justice to all associates, the peculiarities of constitution, all these are dis played sooner or later in a news paper the same as in an individual. More especially is this true of metropolitan dailies, because their treatment of a great scope of news and their editorial expressions, which etamp the character of the aper on the public mind, are displayed to greater breadth than is possible in the other class of smaller journals. Then, too, the very nature of a metropolitan daily, with an extended constitu ency, is such that it fills the position of a public pendulum, swaying the populace, or at least attempting to, first in one direct ion, then in another as the dictates of sound judgment sug gest. The views which it holds on general matters in the ma jority of instances are the opinions expressed by the bulk of the people to which it caters in an effort to guide the exigencies of the public welfare. Such then is the position main tained by the average metro politan daily and the treatment which it accords its reading public. On the 1 other hand, standing in contradiction to the general rule, there exists a class of daily journals which amply illustrate the other extreme. The Oregonian is one of these. Laying claim to a total elimination of "yellowness," secure in itself from a monoply brought to a close after fifty years duration, stopping short of nothing in an effort to weave the narrow fiber of its cor ruptly influenced vision, it spreads its pages with articles of the deej est saffron hue; articles wholly unfounded, so far as facts are considered, likewise depraved in a moral sense and reeking with the venom of a diseased spleen. The Oregonian many times in recent months has stooped to a point beneath the dignity of either man or newspaper in its effort to bring destruction to that portion of the state, or its residents, who insinuations is the shrine upon which the Oregonian in touching humility offers to the public its creed the representative and ex ponent of "legitimate journalism.'' The gods are kind that suffer the people to be so seduced. The veracious Xewberg Graphic is responsible for the story that a a Xewberg couple, on starting to i the city recently to visit a married son, took with them a basket of fresh eggs at leat-t they were fresh whe then conductor took up the Xewberg tickets. Somewhere down the road Conductor Croker came ambling along in the course of time and was surprised at the well known "cheep, cheep" of little chicks. This much of the story the Graphic will vouch for anil will gladly refer any of a skepti cal mind to a well known oilicial of thai city. It is further intima ted that when the train reached the metropolis the Xewberg eggs went on the market in the form of young broilers. However, having a reputation of veracity to main tain, the Graphic assumes no res ponsibility for the poultry after they rolled into the Jefferson street station. Crook county will watch with no little interest for the report which comes from Lookout moun tain next week when the first cinnabar ore will be dumjed into the new furnace for reduction purposes. The result cf the initial test will determine in a measure the extent of Crook coun ty's newest industry which, from all present indications, point towards a field of national promin ence. Cinnabar is one of the metals which of recent years has been growing constantly less in quantity and the mining world in consequence is eager to receive news of new districts from which a reasonable amount of output can be depended upon. It is to be hoped that Crook county will not disappoint the sanguine anticipations so frequently ex pressed during recent months and unless nature herself has decieved the eyes of comjietent men the; county will be greeted with a re- j port of bright veimiilion hue. !

SCOTT'S BLUDGEON OVER WILLIAMSON "Some one from the Oregonian threatened Williamson that if he would not vote for Scott for senat or, the Oregonian would dig his grave." .Such was the sensational testi were not in sympathy with its ! mony given yesterday afternoon radical and vitriolic expressions. It has assumed the position that no man or portion of the state shall be possessed of ideas in op position to its own sordid ex positions. The Oregonian has never ex pressed any love for Crook county, except perhaps in an occasional mention of one of the local irriga tion companies in which its editor holds stock. Outside of that it has shown hectic pleasure in blackening the eyes of a county which has struggled long and faithfully in a ' handicapped pro gress towards the front. Nothing too base or contorted lias been barred from its columns of public ity and the cheek ciimson from a slap has been turned away only to receive in due'time a harder blow. The Oregonian's motive is the religious repugnance with which it "views a politician in this dis trict. That alone in its estima tion is sufficient reason for it to center its vilifying tactics towards a dissolution of Crook county in general, except this one irrigation company mentioned. Politics has blighted its vision, torn asunder the cardinal principles of good fellowship, and the result is a permanent and serious injury to the interior portion of the state, The last move of the Oregonian, against which the Business League of this city took decisive steps, illuminates with startling force the baseness of the Portland paper, and the depths to which it will thrust its baiK. in an eft'ort to undermine a community, falsifi cation mixed with malignant, in the trial of Williamson, (Jesner and Biggs in the federal court, and it has cast a new light on Harvey W. Scott's famous gum shoe campaign for the United States senaton-hip in 100.', and on the extraordinary hostility which his paper has displayed to Wil liamson ever since he was first placed on trial. Williamson was a member of the state legislature two years ago but steadfastly refused to vote for Harvey Scott. According to the story told by one of the witnesses for the government in the pending prosecution, an emissary of Scott's "somebody that was interested in the Oregonian" went to Wil liamson and sought to coerce him into casting his vote for the editor. Because he would not do so he was told that the Oregonian would work his political ruin. Campbell A. Duncan, a Crook county ranchman, was the witness from whose lips the revelation came. In answer to the questions of Judge Bennett, he told of a conversation which he had with Dr. Gesner, after the trial, in the course of which the kilter gave him the facts.' "He said Scott I think the editor of the paper had threaten ed Williamson that if he did not vote for Scott for senator he would snow him under or dig his grave," testified Duncan. "It was not Scott that said it, but some fellow that was interested in the Oregonian some way or other." "Some one that was interested in the Oregonian had said that they would dig Williamson's grave NEEDED Annually, to till the new r"-itinii onaUil lijr Railroad and Telegraph Compauieii.
