OREGON' CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, AUGUST 7 1903,
Q1ANT OF THE FOREST
TO SAVE REFERENDUM.;
1. III ll.l, IP. ,11.1
Burned flonths Before It Fell .
R. D. WilBon.who has returned from
a C Bliing trip up the Clackamas river,
repot ts a remarkable occurrence in the
rcHilihorliood of Spring Water. Last
September mighty forest fires raged for
day in that section of the county, des
troviua forests and eweeping homes out
of eiistence. Standing neir the banks
of the Clackamas was a giant dead 6r.
Its diameter at the base was more than
eevon leet while ig towering branches
trended more than two hundred feet
in the air. When the forest fires had
fisvopt by and the cooling rains had
O'tue and quenched the burning embers
ii, was dincovtied that the old giant was
on fire. While no. fire could be seen
oncen a great while a thin patch of blue
ervko would pour out of a knot bole
thirty feet from the ground. Sometimes
this emote would pour out for days.then
it would disappear and no more smoke
could be seen for days and even weeks,
when again the smoke would begin to
pour out at the knot hole. This was
kept up for months, an occasional diver
sion being furnished by ' jets of black
euioke pouring out in great quantities.
When the black smoke poured out it
would bo emitted in puffs similar to
thoce of a steam engine and could be
Leard for quite a distance.
Last week, after remaining quiet for
weekn,the old tree again began to smoke.
A family living near was watching it
and in a short time they d'ecovered that
the bine smoke bad changed to black
and 'he tree was snorting like a heavy
freight engine. In regular puffs the
smoke began to pour out and the noise
made by the smoke as it escaped from
the knot hole could be heard for a quar
' ter of a mile and is described by those
who heard it as almor t exactly similar
to the noi.ie made by a heavily laden
engine. For an hour or more this was
kept up, when suddenlty flames poured
out at the knot hole and in a few min
uUis the entire lower part .of the tree
was a mass of fire. Suddenly the tree
tvpmud fr tremble, the upper part he
(ran Kultlingdown upon the shell beneath,
the tree dropped to the ground, crush,
inn tlie shell which had been burned
out by the fire and was unable to sustain
the weight any longer, and a hundred
Ions of wood went crashing to the
ground with a roar that could be heard
firmik-H. The monarch of the forest
liad fallen, but it took a fire eleven
months to destroy it.
The American Soldier
The country produces, perhaps, no
more unique and typical growth than
the American private soldier. HeiBin
a class all to himself. He has no peer,
no equal and no rival. No human intel
lect could have conceived "him for a ro
mantic figure and no painter could have
put him on canvas without the original
lor a model.
The American eulUte in the army
either from stress of need or as a lark.
If a husky boy finds all the jobs occu
pied and nothing doing on credit at his
boarding house be hies to a recruiting
etation, sells out to Uncle Sam for three
yean' bedding,' clothing and rations,
with $13 per for recreations on the
aide. Or, if he tires of the dull iteration
of his local envlronmeent and wants to
S'-e the country and itq possessions near
aud far, be stuffs into a uniform and
"On a government ship
lie takes a trip . 1
Ten thouannd miles away,
"He is a "rookie." which is the bo
lriquet of a recruit until he has had his
baptism of fire or uone time in '"Q com
pany," after wh'ch he is a full-fledged
"regular," and when he finishes his
threi years' tour he is "a veteran."
lint all the time he is the finest and
in 'St reliable soldier the world knows
today. He would rather figh'. in a blue
cHiiii uiuu ub due iit'K, uaruiitmueu ana
with his breeches torn half off by the
cactus and the thorns than to eat pie in
a liroadway restaurant. He has the
quick, instinctive initiative of his Amer
ican forebears who learned Indian tac
tics and beat the redskins at their own
rickp. Ho takes fighting life in all
lands, climatos and conditions as . his
matter of course and hardly ever Bet J
iett. Ho knows that his ctnel business
is to "got there" and nobody has yet
been found to prevent him doiug so.
Take him up one side and down the
other, the American private is a peach
and with all his foibles the American
people admire him, pet him and are
ready to back him against all comers.

W. S. U'Ren Files Petition In Supreme
Court. .V;
W. S. U'Ren was in Salem the latter
part ot last week, and while there filed
a petition in the Supreme Court of the
State ol Oregon, tlie purpose ot winch is
to save the Initiative and lie fereudum
from becoming a dead loiter on the
statute b'iok of the state. The petition
hied rearls as follows : -The
undersigned petitione-s respect
fully represent to the court that there
are two questions of law in the above-
entitled cau6e as decided by the Circuit
Court of Multnomah county, that are of
great public importance, and in wnich
questions yonr p-titioners are ,-.very
much interested, to-lt: - . ,
First The question as to the legal
submission and adoption of the amend
ment to section 1, of article 4, of the
constitution of the State of Oregon.
Second The question as to the power
of the Legislative Assembly to declare
the existence of an emergency and to
provide that 6 law shall take effect and
be in force from and after its ap
proval. Wherefore your petitioners pray that
an order may be entered by the court
allowing yonr petitioners to appear in
said cause amici curiae, and file a - brief
and make oral argument before the
court on said questions.
The petition is signed by ten promin
ent politicians and lawyers of the state.
They are W. 8. U'Ren, George 0. Brow
nell, U.S. Senator, John II. Mitchell.
O.E. S. Wood, J. C. Moreland, J. N.
Teal, George H. Williams,!!. 8. Senator
0. W. Fulton, Tilman Ford and J. B.
Waldo.
Mr. U'Ren expresses himself as being
quite confident of the final outcome of
the matter and believes that the initia
tive and referendum will be preserved.
Strength is one of the distinguishing
attributes of a henlthy man. In one of
the most beautiful poetic flights known
to literature, the inspired singer finds no
finer figure to express the sun's majestic
rising than rejoicing like a strong man
to run a race."
, Who has not known such a man, the
picture of health, hardy and athletic,
uddenly begin to fail ? At first he
has a slight cough, whteh he laughs
at. Presently the cough becomes deep
seated. The Bcales tell him he is losing
flesh. A little later and the lung bleed.
He grows weaker and more and more
emaciated. Each day sees some circum
scribing of his activities, until at last he
does not leave the house, and friends
shake their heads and say, "Poor fel
low ! Who would ever have believed it
possible ? "
Hut what are the doctors doing all this
time I Doing their best probably, but
usually doing no lasting good. The
emaciation grows more marked, the
weakness more apparent, until at last the
iickinau hears the sentence, "There's
no hope."
It is just at this very point of hope
lessness that the use of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery .lias proven
the first step to health to many a suf
ferer. It Cures the cough, stops the
hemorrhage, heals the lungs, puis sound
flesh upon the body, and sends the man
back to the activities of life ns strong 09
ever. It's a wonderful statement, but
it is literally true, that "Golden Medical
Discovery" has cured time and time
again when all other means had abso
lutely failed to benefit.
There is no alcohol in the " Discovery,"
and it is absolutely free from opium, co
caine, and all other narcotics.
Persons suffering from disease In
chronic form are invited to consult Dr.
R. V. Pierce, by letter, free. All cor
respondence is private and the confi
dences of the sick are guarded with pro
fessional privacy. The success of the
methods and medicines of Dr. R. V.
Pierce, may be inferred from the fact
that of the thousands treated by him
and his assistant staff of nearly a score
of physicians ninety-eight per cent, have
beeu perfectly and permanently cured.
"A SURE CURE."
"1 beg to ntstc thnt I have ufctl three hotttei
of Dr. Pierce' Golden Medical Discovery siuce
my corrt'Apoudence wilh you, find Htm great
improvement Ui mf cane," writes Mr. A. P.
Novfrtny, of New York, N. Y., Box 1437. 1 feel
that 1 hiu in need of 110 mote medical assist
net. When I started to take your medicine
I had a regular consumptive cough, of which
I was afraid, and everybody cautioned and
warned me concerning it. I was losing weight
rapidly, was very pale and had no apvetite
whatever. Now my condition is changed en
tirely, 1 do not cough at all, linvt gained eight
pounds weight, nave recovered my healthy
colrr. uud my appetite is euornums, 1 cuu rec
ommend your mediciue to everybody who may
be in need of the same, as it is n sure cure, no
liumhug as are most other patent medicines,
mud is far superior to all bhmlur medicines."
THE DOOTOR WAS WROJUQ.
"When 1 commenced taking your medicine,
eighteen months ago, my health was completely
broken down," vi itt-s Mrs. Coin I,, Sunderland,
of Clianeyvll!et Calvert Co., MJ. "At times I
could not even walk across the room without
vmiua in my chest. The doctor who attended
me said 1 had lung trouble and that 1 would
never be well attain. At la-t 1 concluded to try
Dr. Pierce's medicines. I homiht a bottle of

CTitfg never In a novel.
Although she Isn't rara.
And she can't get Into fiction
For, though her face Is fair.
Her checks as pink as roses,
Her teeth as white as pearl.
The authors all Ignore her,
'Cause ber hair won't curL
She's very fond of dancing)
To row Ig her delight.
Bhe glories In lawn tennis;
She could golf from morn till night
Put she sits out half the dances
(Irfst her rlnprlets ull unfurl),
j And sho must not he an athlete,
'Cau8 her hair won't curl.
Bhe loves to go In Lathing,
But really doesn't dare
Bhe knows she's simply hidooug
With lank and strangling hai
While other maids are splashing
Their tresses twine and twirl,
Ehe bakes upon the sea beach,
'Cause, her hair won't curl.
Hor coiffure is a triumph
When the days are cool and dTJH
But she bids farewell to beauty
When the mercury Is high.
Bhe doesn't crave a million
Nor pine to wed an earl.
But she prays for an invention
That will make hair curl.

Sympathy Count Most.
It la (luring the formative period, tbe
time whoa a man is seeking to get a
foothold, that help counts for most,
when even too slightest aid Is great
A few books lent to Andrew Oarnegto
When bo was beginning his career
were to him on inspiration. He has
nobly repaid tho loan; made posterity
lils debtor a mllllonfold by his benefl
conce in sprinkling libraries over thti
whole country. Uelp the saplings, the
.young growing trees of vigor; the
mighty oaks have no need of your aid.
The heartening words should couie
when noeded, not when they seem only
hypoeritic protestations or dextrous
preparations for future favors. Co
lumbua, surrounded by his mutinous
crew, threatening to kill him, alone
nmld the crowd, hud no one to stand
by him, but ho neared land, and riches
opened before them. Then they fell it
his foot, proclaimed him almost a god
and said he truly was inspired from
heaven. Success transfigured him; a
long lino of pebbly beach aud a few
trees made him divine. A little pa
tience along the way, a little closer
companionship, a little brotherly love
In his hours of watching, waiting, and
hoping, would have beeu great balm to
Ms soul.
It Is In childhood that pleasures
count most, when the slightest Invest
rnent of kindness brings largest re
turns. Let us give the children sun
light, love, companionship, sympathy
with their little troubles and worries
that seem to them so great, gennlne
Interest la their growing hopes, their
vague, unproportloned dreams and
yearnings. Let us put ourselves Into
their places, view tho world througb
their eyes so that we may gently cor
rect the errors of their perspective by
our greater wisdom. Such trifles win
make thom genuinely happy, happier
by far than things a thousand times
greater that come too Into. From "Tlie
