Your wife, or my wife, or your mother-in-law may be eloquent talkers, which usualy is the case, but theTalk-o-phoue given nway by Krogstad can easily scoop them nil without half trying. It is perhaps in order to suy just this much more regarding Lincoln county's exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Fair: Several weeks' notice was given that the County Court would be asked to make the appropriation. At the De cember term the Lincoln County Board of Trade and other citizeus verbally petitioned the Court to appropriate a certain amount for tho exhibit. The Court wouldn't doit. Then a strong petition was tired at the Court. The Court yielded, for the very good reason that not one little petition in remon strance was filed. This is the whole story.

Syringa Circle's Success. " In the presence of the members of the Woodmen of the World," Syringa Circle No. 21. Women of Woodcraft, installed its new officers last Friday night at Woodmen Hall. It is unnec essary to state that this ceremony was practically flawless, the "bobbles," if any were made, not being discovered by the Woodmen. The following officers were installed: Eva Peterson, Guardian Neighbor. Ada Sonle, Past Guardian Neighbor. Nellie Gaither, Adviser. Annie Turnidge, Magician. Elsie Ofstedahl, Banker., Maybel Bethers, Attendant. Ruby Anderson, Inner Sentinel. Mary Arnold, Outer Sentinel. Alma McCaulou, Captain of Guards. Hattie Starr, Musician. Jennie Arnold, Clerk-elect, was sick and unable to be present for installa tion. The Manager-elect name lost was also missing. Th instnllntinn 'Ceremony was fol lowed by the always-welcome feast, which on this occasion was served more or less in courses the olives more so. The refreshments received marked at tention, Partners for the occasion wore caught in night-caps-that is, the ladies munufactured night-cops of the same material as aprons which they wore and the Woodmen selected night caps, place'! them "in the proper atti tude;" and then found the owner. The head-pieces were of all styles and col ors and the Woodmen, who wore them looked fit to kill especially Wiley Parrish . In a contest, George Bethers easily proved that he knew more about cakes than any other person present. The prize was h. big, delicious cake, the lion's share of which was eaten by the losers in the contest. A pleasant little surprise came when the Past Guardian Neighbor, on behalf of the Guards, presented their Captain, Mrs. McCaulou, with a beautiful em blem pin. The popular officer was eloquently speechless A farce entitled "A Bit of Gossip'' was a decided hit, being unanimously voted "true to life." The plot showed how the report of a harmless little in cident will- grow until it develops into a scandal. The moral was plain and worth remembering. Splendid instrumental music and a liberal supply of it was furnished by Landreth's orchestra. The closing number and the longest ou the program was " Bingo." Sat urday was about an hour old when the famous canine was laid to rest to be resurrected again tonight by Pocahontas Camp, Woodmen of the World. Frenzied Selfishness. The Oregonkn says : "The Govern ment of tho United States is in honor bound to go ahead with the canal at Celilo." In other words, if tiie Govern ment of tho United States doesn't go ahead with the canal nt Celilo, it frac tures its honor and is a mean old thing so (hero now! Ou this important matter we apologize for agreeing with the Oregonian. However, wo think the Government is a mean old thing, any how. Yaquina Bay has needed and de served a little "fostering'' for lo these many years, but the Government has had ears only for the siren voice which issues from the big month of the Columbia. Every state lias its metrop olis, and no citizen of Oregon w ill wish anything but good for Portland, but there tire a lot of full grown human hogs in Portland who are always roatly to jump in and oppose the advance ment of any other coast point in the state that might possibly divert a dol lar from their greedy paws. The citi zeus of Oregon who are trying to de velop tho wilderness sections of the state deserve Assistance instead of op position. Perhaps tho searching pangs of disappointment will give tho class above referred to some idea of how the unimportant nart of the stare's nnmi- i latiou feels over a (lovernmcutal turn-1 down, instigated by Pelllsh business inci whose interests abound and abut on the mighty, hungry Columbia. ; - C.

The Artisans had a big time in Toledo Thursday night of last week too late for publication, and no press corre spondent, evidontly. Several members of the order were down from Elk City and feasting and other forms of amuse ment kept the hull warm all night. The ArtisaiiB seem to be prospering. An Eastern Luxury. This is the blizzard the twin brother of the summer cyclone, the air demon or the north country, an aerial tyraut, born amid the snow peaks and eternal glaciers 10,000 feet in the air hissing, howling, seething deadly combination of cyclone, snow and Intense cold, leap ing without warning from its mountain aerie and sweeping over tho low lands just as Italy in the olden time was over whelmed by the Goths, Vandals and Huns of the north. Evor caught in one? Well, pray that you never will be. It is calm and pleasant and you are going to your home two miles away. The snn shines; no thought of coming peril. A low and distant roar catches your attention. It is from the north west. Yon first think it is a freight train. It grows louder. On tho north west horizon is fast rising a uiiHly ridge of cloud, apparently rolling over on tho ground. Flee, mau, if you can; it is your last chance! On it corner; with the speed of the fast mail. In three minutes it is here. Temperature drops 50 degrees, and a sixty mile gale Mils the air with broken ico, pulverized snow and dust. It blinds you. In ten minutes you are hopelessly lost. Hair, eyebrows, whiskers, coal sleeves ami neck are soon filled full. Twenty-live belw zero, two miles from homo and freezing to death. Neither man nor beast can live exposed to it.

Senator Mitchell's Defense. The following dispatch from Wash ington to the Oregon dailies is self explanatory: The unusual spectacle of a United States Senator explaining on the floor of the chamber of the Senate charges made against himself by a court of law in his own state w as witnessed in the Senate today when Senator Mitchell of Oregon spoke of the indictment re turned against him by an Oregon grand jury. The Senator had not previously appeared in the Senate since the indict ment was returned, and was received by his fellow-Senators with many evi dences of good will. He was mucli affected, his emotion at times being such that he read the statement with much difficulty. At the outset tho Setiator declured the charges mado against him, if true, unfitted him to occupy his seat in the Senate. Ho then detailed the charges aud said : " I assert, in the most positive ami nnqnnliflml mnnnr, (hat pneh and every one of those charges, in so far as they relate to or involve me, is abso lutely, unqualifiedly and atrociously false; aud I here and now, indignantly and defiantly, denounce their authors-, each aud every one of them, and brand thorn publicly as malicious and atro cious liars." Following this general denial with one more specilic, the Senator spoke substantially as follows: "But I desire to be more specilic, and therefore I further deny, in tonus tho most absolute and unqualified which I am capable of using, that I never, either in the month of Jan uary, 1002, in tho stale of Oregon, or at any other time or place, unlawfully or feloniously, or otherwise, conspired with Binger Hermann, then Commis sioner of the Land Ofllce, aud S. A, D. Putur, Horace G. McICinley, D. W. Tarpley, Emma L. Watson, Salmon B. Ormsby, Clark Fj. Loomis and William H. Davis,,or with olther or any of them, or with any porson er persons, to do fraud the Uuited States out of any part of its public lands located cither in township 11 south, range 7 east, in the state of Oregon, or any other public lands, either in the state of Oregon or olsewhere. "I assert, furthermore, in tho most absolute and unqualified manner, that any and all statements by any person or persons to tho effect that I over at any timo or place entered into a con spiracy with all or any of said persons, or they or any of them with mo, to de fraud tho United States out of any part of its public hinds in the state of Ore gon or elsewhere, either by false or forged homestead applications, affidav its or proofs, are absolutely, unquali fiedly nnd atrociously false, aud I defy my detainers aud challenge them t produco any evidence other than that of condemned ihieyes, forgers and per jurers, to sustain any such charges. " I further deny in the most absolute and unqualified terms that S. A. D. Puter did, either in the city of Wash ington, on March il, 1902, or at any other time or place, offer nie.or pay to r'ne, or givo mo nor did I on March I), 1902, in Washington, I) C, or at any other time or place, accopt or receive from said 8. A. D. Puter the sum of fl'OOO or any (t her amount whatever, cither in two $1000 bills or any other denomina tion or amount whatevor as an induce ment to mo to use my influence wit h Binger Hermann, then Commissioner of the General Land Office, to induce him, as such Commissioner, to pass to patent twelve certain homestead en tries, or any homestead entries what ever, or for any other purpose. "And I here indignantly, with all the force I can command, denounce the public statement of S. A. I). I'uttr that he, on March 0, 1002, at Washington, I . C., paid me 82000 iu two $1000 bills, a wilfully, maliciously, unqualifiedly atnl atrociously false." Senator Mitchell attacked Francis J. Honey, attorney for the Government in tho prosecution of the land frauds, accusing him c.f unprofessional con duct. I lo charged that Ileney offered clemency to Puter, Emma L. Watson and others if they wo'ild make state ments involving himself (Mitchell) a id Congressman Hermann and others.
