VOORHIES, FRED MENSCH, I'ropr. & Mnob Editor Entered at the pout office at Grants !', Oregon, sa second-claae mail matter. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, IDOi All southern Oregon is interested in the proposal to make Crater lake and its vicinity a national park. Cratar lake is ons of Nature's (ems, with a peculiar beauty and grandenr not sur passed anywhere in the world. Nicaraguans are honeltil that the Nicaragua canal may be built. Presi dent Zelaya has just been inaugurated dir bis third term, In bis address be relerred hopefully to the prospects for the construction of the Nicaragua, canal and to the benefits that Nicaragua would derive therefrom. The school tax of 13 mills hriaj egsln to prominence our erroneou method of levying assessr-enta. Prop erty in this district baa the asms assessed yaluatson that it bad sight yesrs ago, though It bai greatly increas ed in yslus by improvements and In other ways. The taxes are no leia by reason of low valuation. It simply raises lbs rate to degree which fright ens Investors who may et take the trouble to investigate and flod out that our taxes art really not so abnormally high as the rate would Indicate. ' A striking example of unjust favor itism in the navy department Is shown in this fact: Clark, of ths Oregon, re mains a captain, white Evans, of the Iowa and Philip, of the Texas, are rear admirals. Clark's ship made by far the most splendid record of any vessel of the navy during ths war and, with Bcbley and ths Brooklyn, woo the battle of Santiago. Philip did remarkably good work with the old "hoodoo," Texas, and deserves credit therefor, but what "Fighting Bob" Evans hss done, eltker to deserve promotion or to esrn bis nickname, is a puttie. He gsined fame by bis picturesque profanity and If this is good ground for promotion be dessrves It. Ths recent changes in the road tax laws shows an appreciation of the neces sity of far reaching Improvement in roads throughout ths state. There is no more pressing need than this. Bad roads kill that commercial activity which is so necessary to the rapid de velopment of any section. If It becomes possible for a farmer to haul to town a ton wltb the same tims and effort now required to haul ball that amount, bis profile are amailngly Increased and products become profitable which bad before boon worthless. Good roads stimulate production, quicken trade nd stimulate business in every Hue, They lessen distances and concentrate the district. Our bosrd of trade is new a tlx rough J organised body and ready for business. The executive board is well selected, being composed of solid seen, must of whom havs large business Interests and who are at once active and conservative. Ths organisation being now complete, ws may begin to look for results. Our mining exhibit, so long talked of, will soon be an assured reality. The bosrd is organised for business and dif fers (rem organisations of like nature which bavs been foimed In the past, In that it bas definite objects in view, rather than indefinite. Previous oreanl- satlons bavs been failures to a greater or less silent, but the reasons of that failure ars kept in mind In this organi sation which will profit by the ex perience of Its predecessors. While the political conventions are yet some distance in the future, there is. nevertheless, some discussion as to possible or probable candidates lor Various offices, snd among them we have beard mentioned from sevsral different sourcee. the name nf J. () Booth In connection with the office of County Judge. The thought Is a good One. The otHcfl) dnm-nd a man nf judgment, integrity, public spirit and a nigu uegree oi business ability and it would be difficult to find a man who ran fill every requirement so perlectly as Mr. Booth. Then, also he Is a msn who is respected and admired far above political considerations, and mtiubers of all political ptrtiee would contribute to bis support. F.very one kuows that Ursnls Pass does not contain a more active or ready ciliien than J. O. Booth In any matter that pertains to the public welfare. In his capacity as a private citisen he has surved the public ably and well and has gives sure evidence of his worth In a public capacity. Ths Coisua Is not In the slate making business but the suggestion of Mr. Booth for County Judge is one thst my well bear fruit In the conven tions and at the polls. . -i Advertising Schemes. Tl e Kelail Merchants' Protective as sociation of Dunkirk, N. Y., bas resolv ed "to refrain in the future from pat ronising so called fake advertising schemes." A correspondent of the Dunkirk Observer says that at the meeting at which the resolution was ad opted several proiuiuent merchants look tbs occasion to point out the continusl drain on their advertising appropriations merit necessary by the ease with which schemers Ulked the average merchant Into taking apace and spending asooey In all sons of "special" mediums. One ansa told ol being solicited recently for an advertisement In a hotel register, another said he bad been asked to Uke space in a racing meet program equally valueless, Others citsd many schemes, such as hotel directories, desk bletura, dance and theater programmes, lair fliers, local tims tablet, etc. One merchant gave as his opluioo that il ha allowed biaisell to Uke space In r - -3 We are giving away to our customers some handsomely clef orated, hand painted China with cash purchases.

Lincoln Savsge, county school super intendent, is a hiiuler of might as well as an active instructor, as is well proven by a recent hunting adventure on the rjiountain forming the divide between Chaney snd Deer creeks. Mr. Savage went out to hunt iq .irrels, but finding a panther track in the snow he went in pursuit. All day he followed the panther's footsteps, but gave up the chase ss night approached and started homeward. While going through the wet and snow covered brush of the mountain be had become thoioughly wet and in the evening the air became very cold, so that bis clothing fioxe on hiui as etitr as boards. When be had progressed a short distance on his home ward way, his dog scented game some where down the mountain As it was nearly in Ihe direction that he wished to go anyway Mr. S.vage let the dog go and followed as he could. The dog ran a little way down the mountain and began a vigorous barking Mr. Savsge located him in a thiiket of small firs, about waist high, hut growing as thickly as they could stand on the ground and frozen sliir. Pushing through the thicket he came to a little open apace around a large fir tree and here he found the dog harking ferociously at a bole which a lire had some time burned into the bsse of the tree. The fire had burned a hollow in the tree, extending dew ii below the level of the ground. The opening was perhspe two and a hall feet ea -h way and the cavity was par 1 D led up with leaves. Aa Mr. savairu approached, the dog plunged in to the hole, but immediately emerged more suddenly than he went In. Mr. Savage peered into the darkened cavity but could discern nolhirfg. Several timaa be sent the dog in, without any effect. At last, looking more closely, he could make out the dim outlines of a bear's head, but when be would raise his gun to his (see, he could see nothing. However, he hazarded a shot by guess. No results. Again the dog emerged, but this time not alone. He was followed closely by an exssperalod mothei bear whose patience had reached the limit. What her intentions were will never be known for a well directed shot laid her low immediately on her ap pearance in d.ylight. Mr. Savage was only about 1") foet away, with no possi bility ol escape il his gun bad failed him. From the den he secured two tiny baby hears. These he tried to insert, heads up. into Ihe pockets of Ins frozen hunting coat but the liltle rascals clawed and scratched with such vigor that he was obliged to pocket them head down ward. The pocket linings being torn, the cuba alipped down into the coat lining where their quarters were roomy enough. On the way home, the cries of tte little fellows became fainter and fainter until thov ceased altogether. On uriivlng at the house, they were cold anu apparently uieipse, dui Mr. Savage laid them down on the hearth by the fire and they thawed, revived and uecame lively.
