VAN CLEVE The way the editor of the Sentinel Juggled the truth In his last Saturday's Issue was simply something scandalous. In fact his article regarding the cost of county printing reminded us of the man who told the whopping bigfishstorytoa6tra:)ger. The stranger patiently listened to the narative and when the fisherman had finished he said, "do you know who I am," the fisherman assured him he did not, "well, I am the game warden, and you may consider yourself under ar rest." "Well," said the fisher man, "do you know who I am; I am the biggest liar in seven counties." , Mr. Stewart's article seems to Infer that the County Court Isn't capable of looking after ,Uhe county's finances, then as a kind of a sweetner to the bitter dose whifh he hands to the Court he winds up by saying, "The Court could do nothing but pay the claim. The work had been ordered by the old Court and It was the duty of the present Court to pay the amount of the claim."' Now, this statement i3 noth ing more than a malicious lie. The old Court never had any thing to do with any of the print ing mentioned in the Sentinel's lying article. According to the Sentinel the main steal was made on the printing of the tea thousand tax receipts printed by the Leader for the county at a total cost of $135. Mr. Stewart says he can do the same Job for $75. Two years ago this work was done by a Portland firm and cost the county $145 and express on the same which amounted to nearly $5. We printed the same this year at a total cost of $135, a saving to the county of nearly $15. The paper for making- these receipts cost us $73.50 laid down here In Toledo. Each re ceipt had to be printed In dupli cate and the law printed on the back of the original, making thirty thousand impressions in all. Then the receipts had to be folded, making ten thousand more sheets to handle. Then the forms, one for the receipt and one to print the law on the back, had to be set up and made ready for the press. Then the printing was a delicate Job, the paper being ruled off in squares and columns and each word had to print in its proper square at the head of a certain column. If Mr. Stewart was any sort of a printer he would know some thing of the work It takes to do a Job of this sort. Most of you know what kind of an equipment the Sentinel has, also the Leader's. You know Mr. Stewart and you know us. We will let you draw your own conclusions. We also believe that' all the members of the County Court 2 are as capable o' running their omces as is Mr. Stewart. o TOLEDO'S BOY SCOUT ORGANIZATION Fox Troop, Noi 159G9, of the National Boy Scouts of America, met in regular session at the res idence of Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Plank last Tuesday evening, and it was a most Interesting meet ing. This company was organized by Mr. Plank Beveral weeks ago, and now has a membership of twenty-two, with the following officers: Scoutmaster, J. G. Plank; Captain, Walter McCau lou; Assistant Captain, Tom Harding; Secretary, Jim Ross; i Treasurer, Jim Derrick. I The little fellows are taking great interest in the work and their meetings are devoted to study of their duties and a social good time. A representative of the Leader visited their meeting t Tuesday evening and witnessed one of the most orderly, busl ness-like meetings he has ever attended. The way the little chaps followed parliamentary ruies and stucK to business gen erally would put to shame a bunch of we older fellows, who think we know It all. The boys are getting their badges, suits and other par ; aphrcnaiia and by Summer time win De in line working order, They are now planning to put on a play to raise funds to buy ncc eBsary books and provide head-' quarters. The cast in tne play will be made uu entirely from the ranks of the company, boys ranging In age from eight to six teen years. Last Saturday Sqoutmaster Plank with seventeen of the boys visited the old ranch home of the former, five miles south of town, and snent the night. They cooked their own meals, slept on boards In sheds, kept fires go ing all night and had a dandy, good time generally, They are figuring on many more outing trips during the Summer. - Everyone Is too familiar with the workings of the organization of Boy Scouts for us to go Into detail regarding their work. Every boy should be a Scout. Every parent should give Mr. Plank and hla band of Scouts every encouragement. They are doing good work and every boy who becomes a Scout becomes a better, more useful and better mannered boy. .0 MEN, TAKE NOTICE! The Loyal Order of Moose will initiate another large class at the meeting Friday evening, the 26th. Get busy while the charter is open.

' AN EXCITING BEAR CHASE Conrad Thompson of Beaver creek was out last Sunday and G. B. Ryan's dog was with him. The dog started a bear and after chasing him for three miles suc ceeded in putting him up a tree. When Thompson arrived he found that it was a hollow cedar tree and that bruin was inside. He had two or three matches and tried to make a fire to smoke" the bear out, but he was unable to get a fire started. Falling In his efforts to start a fire the brave boy crawled in side the tree and began shooting up at .the bear. He could not see the bear, but after he had shot several times the blood be gan to drip, and Thompson heard the bear growling and coming down. He got out of the tree and when the bear got to the ground the dog rushed in and grabbed him, rolling and tumbling about until Thompson got a shot at the bear's head.
