In brief the supreme court agrees
that Mam street never was a coun

A hen was recently set over a
thousand dollars worth of eggs in
Arlington, California,- it being

brings chicks into the world by
wholesale. .
The earlv gardener is now busy
giving a fitting welcome to the peas
and onions ' and lettuce that are
thrusting their first shoots up into
a moist world.
The reader is invited to look at
the total resources of the First N
tional Bank as listed on another
page. They are just about double
what they were in 1916 which is
additional evidence that both the
bank and this section of Oregon are
prospering.

Weather sharps who have kept
tab on the rainfall say we are about
ten inches short of the season's av
erage at present and since the rec
ords sho w we are always, close to
the average, we may look for some
precipitation between now and the
first of June. ' , '
People who only have a vague to'
terest in the league of nations and
who ignore entirely the fluctuations
of the bond market have followed
with interest the developments of
the Hawley divorce case in O'egon
City. .
Our idea of the height of anguish
is the emotion that would be dis
played by the Los Angeles Times
should by any hook or crook, Hiram
Johnson succeed in getting nomina-
ted and elected to the presidency
In that event the Timts would
doubtless emigrate to Mexico 'or
Central Africa or the islands of the
South Seas. . '

WALTER G.BROWN,
The grand jury investigation of
bond sa'es to the state treasurer
may develop a number of things
one of them being that the state
treasurer buys bonds of Morris
Brothers for the same reason- that
municipalities sell to the same com
pany. This because the company
is a large one financially and is able
t) offer better terms to the seller
and a better grade of security to
he buyer, Also that competitors
of the bond house are resorting to
the -old scheme of detraction to get
a share of the business they can not
get along ordinary business chan:
nels. Also it may prove the old
adage that when rogues fall out
honest men- get their dues. Ex
posure by the bonding companies
of one another's methods may re
sult in benefit to the public. . ,
