The death of Harvey V. Scott, editor of the Portland OregonUn for 40 yearn, marks tbe passing of a truly resarkable nan. He died last Sunday la Johns Hopkins hos pital, Baltimore, of heart failure, after a surgical operation. He came from the soil, struggled up through great difficulties to a posi tion of preeminence and held unap protchable swa there for a gener ation He was a prodigious work er always. His mind was strong, leceptive, active, and it was his habit to master a subject before dealing with it in a public way This gave him the leadership which he so long held. He was not pop ular In the ordinary sense, because so few could approach his high level and get into sympathy with him, but of self-asscrtiveness, of narrow pride or petty arrogance, no man was ever more free. Oregon may well say, as did Hamlet: He mi a man, take him for alt In all, We shall not look upon hit like again. The high-minded, honest, sensi tive Attorney-General of the grent state of Oregon has taken his facile pea in hand and complained to toe District Attorney of Multnomah county about the "Hillraan" town site swindle. Whereupon the Port land Oregonlan also discovers the iniquity. How potent an impend ing election is to rouse public func ttouarieu to protect the public! The bet that the Hillman swindlers have gotten awav with the swan and don't care much now what happens renders this belated pro test rather childish. The papers notably the Portland Telegram and the Bend Balletin have set this matter forth in its true charade repeatedly, so there is nothing new in it at this time We are now looking for the Attorney-General to announce that there was a rotten irrigation deal in Babylon. The people dearly love to 1ms hum bugged. Present to them some thing of real mejlt, give them ac curate information, and they resent It. The human critter is n pux sling animal. Initiative petition enterprises have received quije a shock here in Bend very little enthusiasm for them any more. The recent elec trical disturbances attending the signing of the road petition Is said to account for the popular aversion. "Dittna ye hear Speaker Cannon? the slogan," Tbe numerous and destructive forest fires call attention afresh to the necessity of greater care to prevent such catastrophes. Inci dentally the comparative exemp tion of the yellow pine belt must be noted. This timber in Eastern Oregon seldom sutlers from wild fires. It does not grow in such masses as does fir and the absence of underbrush deprives tbe flames of much food. About tbe only' forest fires in this region occur in jackpine thickets or canyons where thare may be a favoring draft of air. Deschutes timber is as safe a money in the bank. CAPSIZE ON ODELL. Bend Party Has Narrow Escape and Lose Equipment. A party of Bend men while on an outing at Inku Odell were the victims of a boat-capsizing accident which cost them (our guns, pevcrnl tishinc rods and a considerable amount of valuable camping equip ment. On Saturday, July 30th, the campers left uenit tor the lake, comprising the following: A, C, Lucus, jun Holmes, John Morgan, Prof. Thorne, S. G. Dorrls, the game warden, Captnin Parker, a representative of the Remington Arms Co. and Col Jenkins. After a hunting trip to the west end of Lake Odell the party was returning to cimp, Messrs. Lucas, Morgan, Thorne and Jenkins in u sailboat, behind which was towed a second boat containing Parker, Holmes and Dorris, when suddenly a squall of wind upset the leadiug boat, dumping all its occupants into the water. The boat capsized in 50 feet of water, about 100 leet from shore. The three in tbe trail boat did good work in rescuing the others. Everything beside the sailors, however, went to the bot tom of tbe lake excepting the dog, which was first ashore. It is said that an effort will be made to recover the lost guns by dragging.
