In other words, General Funston has
put the Maxim silencer on the news
paper correspondents.
The great regret with the United
States is that Canadians did not colonize
along the southern border as well as the
northern.
The American people will not com
plain so much about the censorship
along the Mexican border if the news
th a t is perm itted to come through is
honest and not intended to deceive.
THE BONDING QUESTION.
W hile at Tillamook the fore part of
the week the editor met several citizens
of that place who were anxious to know
the opinion of people in this end of the
countv regarding the bonding question.
When asked by the writer tor their per
sonal views there wasn’t one of them
th at did not favor bonding. In connec
tion with this it can be said that a large
m ajority are not as much interested in
the better road condition as they are
that some means be provided which
will maks the money spent on roads
more lasting. There is no one blaming
any county court, but the general opin
ion is that the system should be
changed. This is a time when the man
who can, builds permanently and for
the future. Look at the great sky
scrapers of the citv. Are they built to
crumble in a few years? Not much.
Would any of these builders hesitate to
go in debt to make their buildings life
long and practicably indestructable?
Take it right home to yourself. Sup
pose you are to build a barn this spring
will it not be better to borrow money to
put with what you have and build a
barn that will meet your requirements
and last for years to come or would you
prefer to build your barn for less money,
use alder foundation posts instead of
cement, and figure that next year yon
w ill replace it with another barn, that
you will have more money next year
than this? We are alw ays looking on the
bright side of life and expect and do
have more money each year, but then
do we have enough more to make such
radical changes as we generally expect.
Those that do are exceptions to the rule.
This bonding m atter is one that every
voter should view from a business stand
point and if he or she finds it economi
cal to bond then vote that wav and lie-
fore vou vote talk it over with your
alism or foolish notions run away with
your better judgment, hut when some
one tells you they are for or against
bonding ask them for their reasons and
give them your undivided attention.
Don't try to argue him out of his own
ideas—th a t’s one of the impossible
things. Just tell him why you are for
or against it. He will extend to you
the same courtesy you have given him
and in due course of tim e he will be
more apt to see as you do.
The Courier belives in bonding to
make permanent improvements just the
same aa it believes in insuring against
fire loss, only more so. Of course con
siderable can be said on the economical
point from a lowering in the cost of
transporting cheese to the railroad and
produce to the consumer, but we are go
ing to leave that discussion for another
time.
The colums of the Courier are free to
all for the discussion of this im portant
question either for or against bonding.
TRANSPLANTING BIRD AND ANIMAL
LIFE.
The English sparrow was introduced
into this country about forty years ago,
says an eastern exchange. At th at time
a mighty plague of caterpillars had
fallen upon the land which for a tim e
had threatened to utterly’ destroy th at
grandest of American trees, the elm.
All Borts of devices were tried to dis
lodge the caterpillar but none fully suc
ceeded. Then it was that horticulturists,
in desperation, brought over the English
sparrow to fight the new pest for them .
The sparrow did the work that was ex
pected of him, after a fashion, but he
very shortly proved that he was more of
a danger to the country at large than
were the caterpillars.
Some years ago an Austrian visit
ing the United States took home
with him a few native rabbits, until
now they have swarmed over the farms
and become such a pest that they have
to be hunted in droves and destroyed.
The German carp is one of the finest
fish in Germany. Its flesh cannot be
beaten. It is used to clean, swiftly
running water. Knowing its value in
Germany as a food product, some of the
flsh were brought to the Great Lakes
and planted. Here they have become a
pirate, destroying other fish by eating
their spawn. The carp prefers muddy
water and hangs around like an idler
and makes a general nuisance of him
self.
It is seldom that a bird or animal can
be transplanted without its changing
for the worse.
About ten years ago Prince Colloredo-
Mansfield, of Doberich, in Bohemia,
was in the United States and had
lauded to him the America muskrat,
the skin of which is valuable, and whose
meat is said by those w ho have eaten it,
to be “ better than chicken." The prince
was not satisfied until he got four pairs
w hich he planted upon his estate in
Bohemia. And now we read that these
four pairs have propagated their species
so numerously that it is estimated that
there are millions of them now in Bo
hemia and Bavara, to which latter
country they have spread. The worst
of it is that they are becoming the great
est pest the country has ever known.
In their new invironinent the fur ceased
to he of any account. Instead of living
upon vegetable m atter that grows along
the streams and lakes, and the fresh
water mussels, as in this country, the

The changed habits of the m uskrat in

the quality of the fur surprise anybody

they did in their native country, and
the climate has all to do with the fur or
