COTTAGE GROVE, An Ideal HOME TOWN Industries.—Mining Lumbering Farming, Fruit Growing One of o ur friends w as heard expressing himself in p retty stro n g language the other day over there having been introduced in the legislature several hundred bills. He said: “ I t ’s absured. Our entire law-m aking bodies, even n atio n al, are absured. YVe have too many law s now. Drop into any a tto rn e y ’s office and sec the scores of books filled w ith laws to govern us. And we arc told th a t ignorance of the law excuses no one. How on earth is a fellow to know w hat the law is? Even a lawyer, who makes it his business to know the law, doesn’t know the law. H ow , then, are we who never devote an h o u r’s study to o u r law s to know them?”—Dalles Itemizer. WISE ANO OTHERWISE.

Don’t give the small boy credit for industriously spading the garden when you see him at work.
