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

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. At present lliey are
