T hb Oregon journal says, editori­
ally: “Sam.tor Allison of Iowa is an
intarcstiag figure in that he has
beta in Congress longer than any­
body else, and has always merited a
mild degree of respect, but he is no
longer a fit representative of a great
: tate in these times when people are
trying to move forward and up­
ward." The editor of the Journal,
by this remark, exposes his extreme
ignorance of facts to a remarkable
degree. Senator Allison not only
has been but is yet a central figure
in all the g:eat moves of national
government, and though he is get­
ting well along in years,*he keeps
..breast with the times and is still
looked upon as “the wise man of the
senate." Mr. Allison’s usefulness
is by no m< ans over, and a few more
uch level headed men as he would
be a good th ng for our country.

of him only belittles and exposes

that the b ilding of the jetiy will do

proposed. The people of the Co­
quille valley should be willing to

funds which are being raised by the
people of Bandon. Some hammer
thrower might say that the persons
who are interested are owners of
vessels and sawmills and should bear
the expense of the whole project and
not call on the public at large, and
that all they want is to build the
jetty so they can make more money;
that it will do no one any good ex­
cept the Interested paities. This
may be true from their way of look­
ing at it, but wrong in the minds of

Mirror« For Invalid«.
“If you have a sick friend who
can’t get out of bed for awhile and
want to provide entertainment for
her," said the woman of experience,
“give her a hand mirror. Nothing
else is quite so fascinating. Often
the bed may be placed with the head

las a mirror it is all reflected for
her. She can catch a sunbeam in
the edge of it or count the clouds
as they float past. She can inspect
all the furniture in the room, and if
she is alone in a hospital she can
find company in looking at herself.
It is the most entertaining and
harmless thing you could possibly
give her.”—New York Press.

Robert Browning once found him­

house sitting next to a lady who
was connected with the highest aris­

conversation.

Be sure* to put out your eatnp-

tnup servants, not even for your
guide, whose interest in keeping the
woods free of devastating fires, being
a matter of bread and butter, is

camp followers, but who, none the
less, is apt to be careless. See to it
yourself. Leave no smoldering back­
log of the night’s “friendly fire.”
Leave no smoking coals that have
served to broil (60 deliciously) the

which, feeding upon nearby leaves
or moss or bush twigs, grows within
two days to a devouring blaze that
consumes acres of forest before its

No doubt my average reader
thinks 1 am writing a lot to deliver
one small message, but let him con­
sider that hundreds of acres of for­
est land, worth thousands, measured
by dollars, and of inestimable re­
sources of the country, are annual­
ly destroyed from just such insig­
nificant beginnings as the campfire
which was not put out beyond the
power of the passing breeze to re­
suscitate. Therefore the warning
appeal cannot be too important
since we as a nation are using up
from three to four times as much
wood every year as the country is
producing.
Two worthy exhibits of genuine
Americanism are, first, not to add
to forest destruction by carelessly
leaving fire around, and, second, al­
ways to plant a new tree—young
tree—for every one you destroy.
And plant it where it will do the
most good.—Outing Magazine.
