Critlolsm is a Little too Wide.
Governor West is getlinu in

of Oregon every day. The govern
or does things, and the most of
the things he does are dead rihl.
Sherill Mass and Deputy lis
trict Attorney Stipp do not think
f'vnrmr West's newspai'i: re
fl'jctions on the officials of this
county give them just a square
deal, as his denounciations of the
officials not doing their duty may
be easily construed as not only
to reflect on the officials of Mil
waukee, but the sheriff and dis
trict attorney as well
As a matter of justice to these
men it is only fair to state that
both say there has never been a
word of complaint from the gov

Editor Courier: As I look over
the papers and see the great
amount of trouble that everyone
is having just now, in getting
signers to the numerous initiative
petitions that are being circulated
through the state, I wonder why
tho present plan of putting the
measure before tho people, could
not be made more simple and
easy and at the same time just as
satisfactory to all the people of
the state, as the present plan is,
and not cost 1-10 of the trouble
and expense that the present plan
costs us. Now my plan may not
be advisable, but if it will start
somebody else to thinking and to
acting, (hat has a better plan,
then I will have obtained my do
sire. I am not going to charge a
cent for these ideas so if L'i'v are
no good you will not, by damaged
very much, so I will tell you the
idea that I found in mv bone box

a mess of garbage. The most effective

Cold Water Annealing.
The following method of cold water
annealing has proved to be highly suc

Heat the steel to a dull red and then,
holding It In a dark place until the red
disappears, dip it In cold water. It can
then be easily machined or tiled. An
other way of testing the "dipping'
heat Is to allow the piece to cool gradu
ally, at the same time rubbing the
steel with a pice of dry white pine.
When It Is nearly cool enough to dip,
small particles of charred wood will
rub off, stick to the steel and glow mo
mentarily. When this action ceases dip
the steel.

How to Clean a Cistern.
An easy and effective way to clean
a cistern Is as follows: Procure a hose
long enough to reach from the top to
(he bottom of the cistern and use It as
a siphon, the top end being placed In a
tub or large vessel of water. The low
er end of the hose Is nsed as an or
dinary hose nozzle under pressure for
washing the dirt and sediment from
the walls.
Taint was first used simply to beautify and to cov
er up defects. From time to time ingredients were
added which give it the power to protect and preserve
as well.
There are paints and paints on the market. Some
of them answer the purpose for which they are in
tended. The majority are simply on the market for one
reason to make a big profit for the people who make
them and the people who sell them. We don't keep
that kind.
It doesn't pay you to use them so in the long run it
wouldn't pay us to sell them. You want the most for
your money so eome in and talk the paint question ov
er with us in detail.
