Ihis is the season of the year
when the kalsominer and paper
hanger works in the day time and
spends his evenings planning how
he can accommodate all of the peo
ple who demand his services im
mediately.
The booster, the man who helps
put a town on a map, is known by
the things he does, not by the
things he savs.
Senator Chamberlain modestly
admits that he would not mind hav
ing six years more of it. .'
They are robbing royal graves of
gold, silver and jewels in Germany
which while not a very brave trick,
has at least the merit of utility.
The trinket will surely be of more
use to the living than to the corp
ses.
It is said that the shipment of
phosphate rock from Idaho through
Portland is bound to result in
growth of that city just as Seattle
profited through the trade to Alas
ka. On such things does 'ortune
rest and the growth of Portland
will help the whole Willamette val
Mark Twain was fond of telling
the story of the spider who looked
over the columns of the home pa
per to find the merchants who did
not advertise, feeling 'assured that
there he could go and weave his
webs in peace.
It takes quite a little to discour
age Hiram Johnson. He thrives on
criticism and saws wood with per
sistence and enthusiasm. He is
bound to be one of the contenders
in the big convention next June.
The opportunity to invest 'which
the power company offers, at eight
per cent, is not as alluring as the
hundred per cent which some oil
companies offer, but it has an ele
ment of safety that is more ' sooth
ing to a nervous temperament.
When city councilmen handle
large sums of money, constantly
aiming to spend it as judiciously as
they would their own; when they
cultivate the ea?le eye enle.tvoring
to foresee and forestall ' aft and
needless expense, when theytacri
fice time and money, in promoting
the public welfare, it appears to
us they are entitled to the grati
tude of the community served.
This constant freezing and thaw
ing is hard on crops but the Wood
boom appears to be holding its own
and promises to emerge in the
spring in a very thrifty condition.
The house cat, asserts a nws re
fort, has achieved a new value.
The fur market demands cat pelts
and a good cat hide wilt bring as
much as $1.25, when itjmay appear
as sealskin in a cap or as ermine in
a muff. In addition the cat furn
ishes the world's market for fiddle
strings. When a few more uses
are discovered'we may awake to the
real value of our soft footed feline
friend who warbles out-his soul in
song in the .small ' hours of, the
morning, ' '
, Now' that the railroads are about
to be turned over to their owners
it must be admitted that they have
been administered in just the Jright
manner to make the people dissatis
fied with government ownership.
Possibly this may be due to the fact
that the wonc was steered by rail
road men themselves into channels
they knew to be plainly otmoxiuus.
If the government had limited the
pay of railroad men to the same
scale held in the post office depart
ment it is fairly evident that the
big deficit would never have been
accumulated. The trial of govern
ment ownership of failrouds has
been by no meant conclusive and
the discussion for and against will
doubtless continue to be with us as
of old. '
The public expressions of people
who think and are prominent in the ,
state are all favorable to the mil
lage increase for the higher schools
of the state. It it a proposition
that must appeal to any one who
gives it thoughtful consideration
The schools have always been ham
pered for lack of money and from
year to year have been compelled to
go to the legislature to eke out the
funds that they should have. This
it an excellent opportunity to make
the effort to correct this matter of
school money. All of the schools
are united. Their friends, faculty,
students and alumni are all work
ing to make the proposed millage
law the law of the state, and
friends of the Normal, if they fail
in this instance will have occasion
to regret any active step they might
have taken to advance the end.
Commander Robert E. Peary who
died last week accomplished the ac
tual discovery of the North Pole, a
goal which many had sought before
but none achieved. Peary was not
good advertiser. He did not have
the faculty of eliciting popular
sympathy and interest In his moves.
As an explorer, "Doc" Cook who
was a hot ttove artist in thai line.
had Peary distanced in the work of
getting the ear of the public. Cook
sat down at his typewriter and
there discovered the north pole and
was promptly acclaimed by the pub
lic as the king of explorers. He
set out on a lecture tour of the
country 'and without proofs the
country accepted him as the real
thing and attended on'.his words in
large multitudes. People in lonely
stations got up early in the morn
ing to tee the car that contained
Doc Cook, go by. Then came the
humiliating report of the Danish in
vestigators. Cook was dropped like
a hot potato, but f eary who came
a week or two later, a real min, an
explorer of merit, a man of capac
ity of mind and soul, could never
get the receptions that Cook the
fakir,' got. We recall him, as he
appeared in Central Music Hall in
Chicago, a number of years ago, at
an afternoon matinee, with an aud
ience made up largely of students
of the city. Peary then was back
from one 'of his "farthest north"
trips and was raising money with
which to go still farther north.
He appeared in his Arctic furs and
on the stage with him were his dogs,
sleds and last but not least, his wife
and the little girl who had but a
few months before been born within
the Arctic circle. When we think
uf the greatest of Arctic explorers,
we recall him as he stood that Feb'
ruary dfternoon in 1893, quiet of
demeanor and apparently - rather
diffident, exhibiting his northern
trophiesand explaining the stereup.
