ORE- DEC. 6... 1912 The Blue Mountain Eagle, publish ed at Canyon City, pays this splendid tribute to Joe Teal: "Mr. Teal is an ideal selection. He is a demoorat ; not a destiuotion demoorat nor a hered itary demoorat, but a democrat for cause, for reason and from under standing that comes from a thorough knowledge of the fundamental princi ples of free government. And be knows Oregon. He learned eastern Oregon (railing a band of sheep over grease wood deserts and sage brush flats. Be knows the pnblio domain that should be conserved and the lands that, when settled, will be an asset of the west. In Oregon he has seen cultivation and civilization eo oroaob on stony ground and waste plaoes. Joe Teal knows Oregon. lie knew Oregon when bear trod the tim bered bills within a day's walk cf the Portland postoffioe. And he knows Oregon still. No man knows her transportation problems better and no one has followed the development of her waterways witb closer sorutiny. Cognizant of the resources,' informed on all the oommeroial problems and business relations he is advised in the premises. - This is, however, second ary and incidental, for Portland and Oregon, its oommeroial life, its social fabric friends and acquaintances be lieve in Joe Teal. They believe in his integrity, his slnoerity, bis ability, his restless and well directed energy, and they beliore that his knowledge of the west will be an inexhaustible fund from which Mr. Wllsou's ooteiie of advisors may freely draw. Mr. Teal is a lawyer of attainment. lie is and has been a student of sociolog ical conditions. He knows the legal status of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, lie is a counselor, ad visor; conservative, bat not in a re striated Bense.Rud witb bis knowledge, attaiumouts and expeiienoe combines qualifications that will make hint one of the foundation corners in the con struotiou of Presidont Wilson's cab inet." The Portland Oregoniao, comment ing on ::he defeated "Blue Sky" law, ays: "A blue-sky law, designed to oontrol the operations of epeoulatora whose ruinbow visions are bounded only by the firmament above, ought to be enacted ia every state. The next Oregon legislature should address it self seriously to a problem that means the weeding out' of the wildoatter and a reasonable guarantee of legitimacy to all oonoerns organized under auth ority of the state. Tbe, late 'blue sky' law wbs defeated iu Oregou part ly beoause it was thought to be a care fully nursed suneme to give somebody a job and partly beoause tbo promot ers of the law were themselves 'blue fikylng' the iuitiative. But there la a real demand for a sound law. and the legislature Las a plain duty to put it on the Btatuto tooks."

Upon tbe cleavage whioh tbuu appears, and the policy regarding it whioh the new Presideut takes, will probably depend tbe course of national politics thenceforward. Nearly 20,000 newspapers have com piled witb the provisions ot tbe post office appropriation bill tequiriug newspapers, magazines and pericdioals to publish the name ot tbe owuers and tbe sis of their olroolaUju.

It turns out now that the Wall street partner of the City -Gf, Chicago in the Chioago traotion business keeps two sets of bonks a publio set for tbe partnership and a private set for the Wall-street partner.

Those elected aside from the mayor are H A. Brandt. Joseph Wurzer, O. 0 Turner and F. H. Beatbe oounoilmen; S. A. Barnes treasurer and J. R. Van Winkle recorder. Tbe eleotion passed oil very peacefully and is declared by all to te a oredit to equal suffrage. Mrs. Pennoyer Dead. Mrs. Mary A.
