Oregon.
Recently an Eastern corres
pondent propounded this ques
tion: "How do you determine
what questions and principals
shall be advocated by the party,
and how
formed?'
What an age is ours! We are
a resourceful people. Our so
cieties are eternally unearthing
something new by way of enter
tainment and it is about an even
wager that the latest fad is
about as silly as its predecessor,
but it serves its purpose and is,
therefore, all right. Now and
then something worth while
comes to light and keeps
us from utter darkness.
Among the latest things to
claim attention is a club started
by Portland girls. The organ
ization is to be known as the
"Anti-Gossip Club." "Deliver
us not into temptation poor;
girls! The entire world is fatted
on i gossip men and women,
boys and girls, in a large majority
of cases, love to gossip. Nearly
all of us are tattlers, but some
are worse than others. In spite
of the conditions we find these
girls organizing an anti-gossip
club. Will the organization sur
vive, think you? Human nature
has first to undergo a radical
change.
These girls, probably with the
best possible intent, are delil
. erately placing themselves face
to face with the greatest temp-
. tation of their lives. Frail, in
deed, is human nature and it is
fore-ordained that the life of this
club is to be of but few days.
The sisterhood will find it harder
not to gossip than to remember
the "Golden Rule." Sisters, we
grieve for you, knowing that
your "Anti-Gossip Club" was
born into an atmosphere too
severe for anything of such
Heavenly nature.
tendency to disorganize the polit
ical parties. With reference to
the first question, Mr. Dunbar
could not give a definite answer,
because it is a matter entirely
outside of the law, and .neither
of the political parties in this
state has yet decided how it will
formulate a party platform.

such a law enacted at the com

WILL YOU NAME THEM?
While the indications are that
- the matter of revision of tariff
schedules as set forth by the
Dingley bill will have some sup
porters in Congress, it is safe to
predict that railway rate regula
tion will take up more time than
any other item. There are many
to be found who for some reason
or other cling to the idea of tariff
tinkering. It looks like this
matter was to be a fight to
finish and that the issue was to
be worn to a frazzle and carried
to a point where its backers
would all be "killed off."
Let us ask wherein is there the
greatest need of revision? Who
will undertake . to settle this
point, treating these United
States as a whole and ignoring
the needs of small localities
(Jharles A- Moore, in a recen
speech at a banquet of the Na
tional Machine Tool Builders'
Association, issued the following
challenge:

So far we have heard nothing
from anybody who might have the
temerity to undertake the nam

which the Tariff could be reduced
w.uh resultant benefits to both
producer and consumer. No one
can name these articles.

dispatch went out from Salem
with reference to the .direct

this state in retire! to the tnean

the direct primary law, Secre

The State Liad Board hit up
on a plan which may enable it to
secure desirable timber land up
on which it may file state lieu and
land script.
Under the present Federal law
the state cannot file on unsur
veyed land. As fast as the gov
ernment completes a survey of
public land, and plats are filed
in the local land office, all de
sirable sections are taken up by
settlers who have been located by
timber cruisers. The latter
make it their duty to watch out
for new surveys, and are usual
ly waiting for the plats to benled.
The plan is to have Congress
amend the land law, so that the
state can file on the unsuiiveyed
land. If this is done, the state
land agent can . examine , timber
in ' districts that have not ' been
surveyed and select - good timber
lands in large tracts, upon which
lieu land script can be filed. By
other states who are anxious to 1 this means the state will have a
had its origin only about a foutth
of a mile, northeast of me; but
this may have been an erroneous
impression.
Later, I began to notice an oc
casional butterfly, of the usual
large brown kind, known as the
"milk-weed butteifly," sailing
rapidly with the current when
high up, while later still. I saw
many making spiral mountings
with not a wing nap, in the well
known manner of turkey vul
tures, hawks, etc. The number of
these rapidly -increased, as did
that of the gossamers, as if they
had beconie suddenly aware of
the uprush of warm air and de
termined to take advantage of it.
Much later still others of this
species ' came past me sailing
with the "wind, at a very rapid
speed,' equaling that of the
usual bird in direct flight. These
were all rather low down, soine
having to rise to pass the tree
tops. I saw no birds taking ad-r-vantage
of this peculiar condition
except that I noted the chimney
swifts hawking at very great
heights, where the insects had
so evidently gone.
Inasmuch as I have al ways ob

soaring birds engaged in these
