It is gratifyin g t o note that
very few o f the new spapers of
O regon are lending their support
t o the efforts o f the so-called
“ O regon H om e Rule A ssocia­
tio n .” This p rop osition is gen­
erally regarded as a bitter pill
d one up in a package, sugar
coated w ith a very nice sound­
ing name tacked on for the pur­
pose of catching u n w ary voters.

again st the rum dem on, the
w holesale liquor dealers have
m ade a m ore o r less open fight,
w ith a lavish expenditure o f
m oney, t o defeat the temperance
forces, but in the present cam ­
paign it is evident th a t they are
keeping well under cover, while
they are sneaking forth, w ith a
c a t ’s p a w tread, and pu ttin g
m oney in to the hands o f such
organ ization s as m ay have some
sh ow of respectability and tru st­
ing th a t better results m ay

socia tion ” and the “ H otel M en’s

gregation s th at are expected t o
handle the cam paign for the
w holesale booze dispensers, tru st­
ing th a t the average v oter will
be caught in the trap. The
“ H om e Rule” proposition is t o
all intents and purposes the same
as the Reddy bill th a t w ent d o w n

keep in mind th at it is the one

navigators the government has an­
chored buoys in this lake to mark
the dangerous path.
There is supposed to be an un­
derground outflow from all these
lakes. Careful observers say that in
that locality are frequently found
cornstalks, reeds and other debris
which do not grow in the vicinity,
but are found in great abundance
among the lakes of the interior.—

The Plowman.
To turn a single acre of ground
with a twelve inch plow requires
eight and one-fourth miles of heavy
furrow travel. In plowing one
square mile of land the solitary
plowman and his horses must walk
5,280 miles. It would bo easier
(and the distance is less) to walk
around the earth at the equator (if
there were no ocean) than to follow
a plow turning a prairie o f five
square miles. To equal our national
tale of plowing— the work of myr­
iads of teams, each using force suf­
ficient to move seven tons over a
good stone road— it would take an
army of 4,550 plowmen to travel as
far as from the earth to the moon
and back again. For -the world’s
yearly labor of this kind it would
send about 80,000 men on that same
half million mile journey.-r-World’s

squeaks.
“ What on earth is that,” gasped
the mystified young man— “ some

The beautiful girl smiled.,
“ No,” she responded softly; “ that
noise is made by pa’s shoes as he
