ft, 'r Wmnh Volume XIV. Toledo, Lincoln County, Oregon. Friday, January 11. 1907. Xnmher 40 The Womanly Art. This Leadek has received a contri butiou describing a scrap between two female citizens of Lincoln county. Wo do not believe in giving publicity to such affairs. Rare and interesting though tliey may be, they have a tendency to snatch the halo from the brow feminine and shake one of our long-cherished opinions from its time- tried foundation. No more we stand for woman'! rights; We fear they'd mako it too exciting. Deep sorrow permeates our lights Whene'er we see two females fighting. If we the human roost could rule. We'd confiscate each woman's dander, And found a mammoth culture school, And subjugate the tongue of Slander. Firemen Elect Officers.

If some of the state institutions find a common prejudice against them thev may perhaps discover the reason for that feeling hy a review of their own practice. When, for example, the Leg islature appropriates J50.000 for rnn. struetion, furnishing and equipmeut of a certain building and the management of the institution expouds the money in partial construction of a building and then comes back to the Legislature asking for a further appropriation to complete the work and to purchase and furniture and other equipment, it is not surprising that there should be a eeling that tho survant has assumed the authority of the master. When the taxpayers, through their representatives, direct that a certain sum be expended in constructing and furnishing a building, they intend that the plans for the building shall bo so drawn that the money appropriated snail be sufficient to construct and fur nish. To make plans and contracts for a building that will clearly cost more M'hii the appropriation is a breach of trust. Such an act cHiinot be con strued as anything else thau a deliber ate attempt to force tho taxpayers to expend more money than they origin ally inteuded should be expended for tDe purpose. If $L'0,000 be appropriated for the erection of a building and the whole sum bo expended In lavinir the foundation for a $100,000 building, the next session of the Legislature will be confronted with the argument that this 820,000 will be wasted unless the fSO.OOO bo appropriated to complete the build ing. Such practice forces expenditure of the additional sum of money, re gurdless of the merits of the purpose to which it is applied, aud the fact that the expenditure was forced crealos a doubt its to its merits. Direct violation of instructions is malfeasance in office, and should be so declared by appropri ate laws. Oregoniun. Minnesota is another state with a labor ehortage. A report from that state to the Timbermau savs: "Condi tions in the big timber are far from satisfactory to lumbermen. They are still having serious troublo with the labor proposition. Tbo visible supply of men haa increased somewhat,1 but much higher wages hare to he paid to Induce them to oouic, and tlioy are restless aud continually shifting around. Some of the camps pay 85 a month ex tra to men who will stay aa long as thirty da;s. Jesse Roeder city today. Oregon Facts Desired. (Special Correspondence.) Portland, Or , Jan. 7, 1007. Never at any time since Oregon be came a state has there beeu such wide spread interest in her development, as is evidenced by the letters received from all parts of the United States by the Oregon Development League. President T. B. Wilcox, of the Stato League, Iihs just authorized an increase in the advertising in thoroughly re liable agricultural publications of largo circulation. These advertisements are devoted exclusively to the agriculturaj lands of the state, for It is the increased farm population that Oregon needs more than all else combined. Put energetic farmers ou the vacant lanr!. cut up the large ranches and tho cities. towns and villages of Oregon will crow and prosper. With that" end in vinu- Oregou la being advertised as never be fore, and the iuquiry is three times an great as it was during tho Lewis & Clark Exposition, Many communities of the State are Bending out literature to inquirers, lists of whom are being furnished to eanh and every one of the sixty-three organ izations composing the Oregon Develop ment League, Letters of inquiry are coming in many languages English, German, Swedish and Polish load : let ters are coming from every state in the Union, but Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Wisconsin, the Dakotas aud Nebraska, are about equal in number, and it is from just these portions of the United Statos that we want our immigration. An accurate conception of the enormous correspondence can best be had from the fact that it cost $527 to pay the out going postage for the past, twenty-five days from the Portland ofRco aloue. Remember that it is in January that you get more readers than any other month, because the farmers iu the oold sections of the country are resting, but;. February is also important. One piece of literature and a personal letter sent today are worth moro thau teu during the farmer's busy season. Now Laugh. A smiill kid told us this morning that, his sister had a beau Suuday night, and he knew his name all right. It was "George Don't." The kid says that ho hoard her call him that a dozen times or moro. A gentleman not long siuce wished to pop the question, but rather hesitated as to how he should do it. Suddenly ho picked up tho young lady's cat and said: "Pussy, may I havo vour mis- : tressV" It was answered bv tho vountr lady, v, ho replied, "Say ye9, pussy." This story is going tho rounds of tho press: A German's wife died, and a' few days after the funeral one of his ' friends met him, and after the usual salutation, said: "Well, I was sorry to hear that you had to burv vour wife." "My goodness, what would I have done rxiit her? She was dead." A young fellow went to work in a law office, and the first week he was there the boss caught him kissing the type writer, glared at him and shouted: "Say, young man, do I pay you for kissing the tvpow"riter?" "No sir." an swered the boy; "You dnn't have to pay me ; 1 11 do it for nothing." Still With the Firm. A bia New York wholesale house not long ago started a' certain drummer on tho road, giving him two hundred dol lars fortrnveliug expenses. Two weeks passed aud nothing was heard from him. Finally, the house, becoming im patient, telegraphed tho delinquent as follows: "No advices from you since you left. Are you still with us?" In a little while the answer came. "Referring yours of fifteenth., Have drawn on you for two hundred and fifty dollars additional. Am still with you." January Lippincott's. The slang expression "23" comes from New York, and is h polioe and hospital term. The psychopatio ward in Bellvue is numbered 23. When a person ar rested shows any sigti9 of Insanity ,he is 8eut to ward 23, and the police have become accustomed to saying, "Twenty three for him."
