NE PLUS ULTRA
One of the most ridiculous items
that ever decorated the pages of a
news paper is one alleging the circu
lation of a report in Paris to the ef
fect that tho European powers as a
means of liquidation their debt to this
country would repudiate it, and to a
void serious consequences, partition
tho United States territory between
them. In our opinion no requtablc
newspaper would publish such a re
port as news item with any inference
other than that it is the nc plus ultra
the facts are far fewer in numbers
than those who can know and do not
take the time pains or trouble to as
certain. The time will come we hope
when political affairs will be the per
sonal affairs of every voter second on
ly to his private affairs a time when
governmental matters whether nation
al or local will be more important than
the pursuit of pleasure, when the ear
nestness of the citizen to help direct
aright the affairs of government is
equal to tho earnestness of the few
who seek to mis-direct it. Until then
the few and not the collective citizen
ship will direct the administration of
affairs.

OUR SPECULATIVE FRIENDS
Representative C. R. Barrow is
authority for the statement that from
twenty-two to twenty-three per cent
of the lands Sn Coos county is within
the Government forest reserve, and is

which is withheld from settlement by
our citizens, and consequently has no

believe that if the desire for efficiency

of a fanatic, or else in the minds of
those whoso interests it is to make
and furnish war supplies, for tho Unit
ed States government. The possibi
lity of the unanimous co-operation of
tho powers for such purpose, would
have no parallel in history, nor even
a remote possibility of accomplish
ment in the future, to say nothing of
the impossibility of accomplishing its
purpose. Only tho timorous, not the
serious minded, give the report any
serious thought, and only the papers
tinged with yellow give tho report any
space with tho inference that it is
news.
INDIFFERENCE OF THE C. P.
Tho gravest gangers confronting
tho development and healthy operation
of our politic government is the indif
ference manifested by the individuals
comprising the mass of voters. The
voters who are ignorant of conditions
by reson of their inability to know
cd indebtedness. It is certainly an
unfortunate when our vested interests
plunder tho choicest resources of tho
county, hold it in a state of undove
lopmont, stay the hand of the progres
sive settler, withhold payment of the
accruing tax and litigate its payment

United States Supreme Court, tho
court of last resort. And then who

some yet untried phase of the question
may still further prolong the uncom

county enn spend $220,000 in a simrl,
year in road making and when the
shovels are all collected and stored for
the winter, have a road system that
would drive a saint to profanity, how
could that county supply itself with
hard surfaced roads on a bond issue
of $100,000.?" While Willie is ponder
ing we will passon to the next one.
"If a city sends $20,000 per year out
of the city to the booze wholesalers
and receives as the municipal share

ship to the city when that money is
kept at home?. Yes, Willie if you have
a headache, you may do your thinking
sitting down."
The relations between the people of
a city and the public service concerns
which supply it are not usually over
cordial. It must have been with some
degree of pleasure that the manage
ment of the city lighting system saw
tho practical expressions of kindliness
manifested towards it by business men
of the city yesterday morning.
The trend of European ambitions
row appears to lie in the direction o
an Oriental empire. For veurs the un
speakable Turk has been nllowed to
hold sway because none of the great
powers was willing to let any of the
others have him. The re-cultivation of
the Garden of Eden has an alluring
sound but the attempt to possess it
ha3 been the graveyard of the ambi
tions of more than one hero. Well had
it been for Alexander if he had never
seen that seductive land and the hith-

those desert sands the beginning of a

Sam Nass attributes the lack of
fish in the river this season to the
dry Fall. He says lack of rainfall has
made the water of the river briny as
be noted from the qunntity of
ss and harnaclcs collected on the
bottoms of river boats. The salt water
and the rough bar has tended to keep
fish out of the river. However the
complaint is tho same all up and own
the coast and from the Rogue river to
Alaska a short catch is reported.
This thing of blowing a tin horn in
season and out of season has its dis
advantages especially when some fel
low citizen who has been boosted into
office turns out to be a grnfter of the
first water and a corporation which
has been lauded in season and out of
season never lets slip an opportunity
to menace the peace and prosperity of
tho community.
We nre told that it is impossible

cause the conditions of the grant is a

tions of the contract can not be chang
ed without tho consent of both parties.
But why can not the consent, of both
parties be obtained for this purpose,

Two clever children were an inter
esting feature of the "Commanding
Officer" ut the Grand Thursday night
These two children furnished the com
edy relief to the story of army life
in the southwest. Undressing them
proved to be quite a problem to the
commanding officer and his elderly
friend of convivial habits. They had a
sort of notion thnt the dresses came
off as a sack conies off from a bush
el of turnips. When the young lady
banished them from the room and un
dertook the disrobing, they watched
the operation through u crack in the
door and found out where their own
notions were in error. These were sure
ly a clever pair of kids. They never
once looked at the camera but acted
us unconcerned through tho grinding
of the machine us the blase artist.
Tho Thursday Paraniounts are worthy
of patronage.
There is a mother and four children
struggling to keep body und soul to
gether living in the city, their most
pressing needs supplied by an aged
pensioneer and assisted by occasional
contributions from the county. Tho
other day one of the children found an
apple on the street and the manner in
which it was pounced upon and divid
ed among tho children was pathetic
to witness. The thought occurs that
possiblity there may be ranchers up
river who may read these lines and
who have apples going to waste under
there trees. If so they can with a lit
tle exertion make this one family hap
py for n time. Who will volunteer?
