Sherwood, A ttobbbt - at -L i w , N otary P ublic , C oqu ille, : : Oregon Oar Legislature at W ork. The Agent anfl the Law. The big fight of this legislative session is still to come. Governor Chamberlain, while be is handicap ped with his fight for a railroad commission and his demand for an appropriation for the Jamestown ex position and a state lighting plant, is not so wedded to these proposi tions as to hamper him from making a strenuous campaign against ex travagant appropriations of all kinds, and his veto axe will have to fall a great many times in the next forty days. The higher educations have full swing in this legislature, with a majority on the appropria tions committees of both houses, and with control of the committees on education. Their demands will be excessive, and there is no indica tion that there will be any reform bill for the state normal schools. Mr. Yawter has introduced tbb bill, but his defeat for the speakership and his residence in a normal school county has taken the snap out of the fight for reform. As has been the practice for some time, there will be three or four separate appro priation bills, and the governor can send back any o f them for correc tion, or he can veto single items of any of them. At heart it is not be lieved the governor will oare much if the Jamestown graft gets knock ed in the head. An anonymous circular, which has just made its appearance, strong ly opposes the passage of the new insurance law, on the ground that it would both increase and create com petition and give to the people of Oregon 200 companies to pick and choose from, instead of fifty, as they now have. The objection which many of the agents find to the pro posed law is that in withdrawing the $50,000 deposit now made by every company seeking to to busi ness here, the lid would be off and instead of a few, every company would be free to do business here. To our mind this is pretty nearly a demonstration of the value of the proposed law, for manifestly accept ing the confession of the agent, it removes restraint and creates com petition. Insurance has been a sore subject with the people of Ore gon. They have been held up on rates and the only consolation they ever got was the $50,000 deposited by eAch of these companies with the state. When it is figured out what this would amount to the individual policy-holder, and there is set against it what its abro gation would mean to all the policy- holder^ we do not believe the agents will meet with as much suc cess in their opposition to the mea sure as they now seem to anticipate. •Telegram.

P in t From the bigheet official of the supreme court to the smallest de partments, the attorney-general, the state land agent and county offi cials, and even the office of consta ble, additional officials, assistants, deputies and clerks are demanded. There is Lardily a department of the state government that is not to be expanded officially, and have its salaries, the number of officers, the per diem, or the fees increased in some manner. On top of all this that abomination in the eyes of the people but a few years ago, a rail road commission, with clerks and secretary, is to be revived, with liti gation and contests, the whole do main of official activity to be ex tended at the expense of the people. An institution for the feeblemind ed. with a thousand acres of farm ing lands, a block of ground lor a park adjoining the state houee with a mansion for the governor, is to be purchased. The governor will be put up against a wilderness of ap propriations, commissions, new offi cers and new burdens, part of them hin own asking, and yet the people, and especially the farmers, feel that he will prove equal to the occasion, and swim out o f the political pool with victory, and possibly a United States senatorship in his grasp THE STATE PRINTING OBAFT. The introduction by Speaker Davey of a bill to reform the state printing office revives interest in that matter. The Portland Oregon ian and Telegram continue to tell of the wonderful refo-ms that State Printer Duniway is inaugurating, and it is only to be considered what they would not say on the same sub ject were be not a member of that newspaper family. All who know the facts of the case know that plea is being put up to »How Printer Ouniway to make back his campaign expenses the first two years, and then put up the bars. He is a good fellow with eugratiating manners, and will probably be able fo head off all attempts to put the office on a business basis. Mr. Davey'a bill is probably slated for defeat, and the long-promised reform in tbst department is still afar off. Sena tors have let up on their fight, on that department, and the state print ing plant to cost about ten thous and dollars, with the state printer on flat salary of about $2500, and all state work done at actual cost of labor and paper, has gone glimmer- iog. The state printer is not only s good fellow with powerful news papers back of him, but be is s for ceful campaigner and some of the the gentleman who want offices in the future do not want to incur any thing but his unqualified good will. ------ ■ if i -— --------- Boxing the Ears A reprehensible practice not un known to cross and worried motber is ready punishment of boxing chil dren's ears, all ignorant of the dan ger of such a habit. There are ob- vious things froi'ght with danger to the ear, such as picking with a pin, but people don’t think— not baving the matter explained— why a blow on the head is such a bad thing. The reason why children’s ears should not be boxed is the passage of the ear is closed by a thin mem- braine, especially adapted so that it is influenced by every impulse of air, and with nothing but the air to support it internally. What, then, can be more likely to injure this membrane than a sudden and for cible compression of the air iu froDt of it? If any one designed to over stretch or break the inembraine he could scarcely devise a more effi cient means than bringing the hand suddenly down upon the passage of the ear, thus driving the air violent ly before it with no possibility for its escape, but by the membrance giving way, says Woman’s Life, many children are made deAf in this way. Ten years ago our yearly pro duction of coal was 170,000,000 tons, aud we thought it a heap. Last year we mined 400,000,000 tons. In 1896 we produced 8,600,000 tons of pig iron. Last year we produced 25,000,000 tons. Our copper out put of ton years ago was 240,000,- 000 pounds. It is now 900,000,- (XX) pounds. In 1896 we dragged from the bowels of the earth min erals and mineral substances worth about $625,000,000. The value of our mineral product in 1906 ap proximates $2,000,000.000. These figures are bewildering in tbeir im mensity. It is no wonder that we are the richest nation on earth. Yet in spite of it all there is some thing left to hope, and there may be something left to fear.— New York Sun. The effort to create new Circuit Judgeships should fail. There are already more Circuit Judges than are needed to perform the work. While an additional appropria tion of $6000 for one more Judge is not much, the fact that the total appropriation for Circuit Judges is about $100,000 should re mind the Legislature that this de partment of the state government hes been growing rapidly in the last few years. Readjustment of bound aries of judicial districts or acts providing for more terms of court should remove any inequalities that oow exist—Telegram.

Everybody in Oregon has always known it, but there wae until recent years no organized ef fort to let anyboby else know i*. Now the famo of the Oregon apples hns reaced every quarter of the globe, and the Oregon growers are reward. Oregon livestock, too, are without superiors anywhere. But, unlike the story of the Oregon ap ple, comparatively few people in Oregon knew until the wonderful show at the Lewis and Clark Expo sition that our dairy cattle, sheep, hogs anu goats are among the best. That show was an eye-o pener to all Oregon. It demonstrated that we have here the climate, soil and the feed upon which livestock grow fat, sleek, healthy, productive and most fair to look upon. To be sure, at the State Fair at Salem there had been fine stock shows, but the ex hibits were mostly our own, and there was no adequate epporttnity to see what others bad. Iu 1905 came the revelation. Our herds and flocks competed with the prize ani mals of every statj, and we were our selves amazed to find that we had as they had, and in some cases bet ter. There ought to be a permanent annual livestock show in Portland. In need not, and would not inter fere with the State Fair at Salem, but could follow that event. It should be held here for the benefit of all Oregon, tnat our own people may learn to take continued inter est in what we have in magnificent livestock of all profitable domestic breeds. It would do much to make known abroad the wonderful qual ities of our livestock. It is time to begin work now, so that all preiirn- inuries may be made for the opening event next Fall.—Telegram.
