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.

A Law for Lawmakers.
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.

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.

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

A gentleman not long siuce wished to

as to how he should do it. Suddenly
ho picked up tho young lady's cat and
said: "Pussy, may I havo vour mis- :

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."

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."

The slang expression "23" comes from
New York, and is h polioe and hospital
term. The psychopatio ward in Bellvue

become accustomed to saying, "Twenty
