PUBLICITY PUT IX THE RECORD
(From Klamath Falls Herald.)
Not since the day when the late
J. Proctor Knott delivered his cele
brated, albeit, too lengthy panegyric
on Duluth, which altho intended as a
slam at an appropriation for the de
velopment of that great lake port,
really proved the best advertisement
the place could have had, has there
e.cn anything recorded in the pages
of that sterling, conservative publica
tion, The Congressional Record, more
exciting than the recent speech by
i.piescntative Nick Sinnott of Ore
gon, in which he described Crater
Lake in the following language:
"Crater Lake, cauldron-like and
olrcular, 7,000 feet high, is perched
amid the peaks. Perpendicular sides
of slaggy lava rises over a "thousand
feet from waters of indigo blue
miles across and 2,000 feet deep.
"To the scientist, a mighty volcano
collapsed within Itself, Mount Ma
nama, 15,000 feet high, telescoped.
"To the poet, 'the sea of silence,
'a lake of mystery '
"To me, a shell hole of a war of
worlds who knows?
"Could the great blind poet have
seen this marvel ere his pen had
Lucifer and his host of rebel angels
Hurled headlong flaming from the
ethereal sky,
With hideous ruin and combustion,
down
in Miltonic imagery here he'd have
found the Impact."
This is certainly a graphic descrip
tion of "Where Lucifer Lit" and if
Representative Sinnott's effort can
not be described as putting apples of
gdd in pictures of silver, refining
pure gold and painting the lily, then
.here is no such thing as hyperbole.
Will our own John D. Raker of
Modoc, with' its majestic lava beds
and other evidences of the time w hen
chaos struggled with entity; "Where
long ago the Titans fought and
hurled for missiles mountains;" will
our own Congressman Church, whose
district embraces the wondrous
Yosemite, permit this to stand as the
solitary tribute to only one of t lie
many areas of grandeur the Pacific
coast can boast, or will they give
California its meed of publicity thru
the same medium and by more
graphic description of its greater
wonders draw attention to their i ex
istence? San Francisco Bulletin.
There is only Sinnott and Oregon
has him and is proud of him. Our
California neighbors may coax their
congressmen to "talk" about their
Yosemite and their lava beds, but
they must worship at the Sinnott
shrine for a long time before they
will be able to acquire the artistic
touch of our beloved Nick.
RULE TO BEJORE FREE
Republicans in House and Senate
Plan Improved I Procedure.
Committee Places Divided.
Washington, Feb. 10. Plans are
') lug rapidly completed by Republi
can leaders in both the Senate and
House for making the control of
hose bodies in the new Congress less
entralized than under Democratic
tile and more amenable to the ln
luence of the general membership
and of public opinion.
In the conservative Senate, which
urn time immemorial has followed
radition, a mild revolution has just
been brought about in a twinkling by
'.he very youngest in point of service
of the solons there and with the
ringing approval of the older heads.
In this the lead has be?n taken bv
Senators Ger,rge Moses, of New
Hampshire, and Fred Hale, of Maine,
both reared in a sihool of politics
which in the past has been termed
almost reactionary, the former a
protege of the late Jacob H. Gallinger
ind the latter a son of the late
Eugene Hale.
Senator Norris, of Nebraska, in
troduced a bill in the early part of
the present session to do away with
what he designated as the inter
locking committeeships among the
senators. Under this system mem
bers who have served for many years
have been able to keep within their
command the, entire course of im
portant legislation. One old and in
fluential Democratic senator is chair
man of one of the big committees and
at the same time is second in rank on
three others, so that he net only Is
the most potent force in shaping bills
which pass through his own commit
tee but is as well a conferee In others
on bills which have passed boih
houses and are to be considered for
the elimination of differences in con
ference. This strict application of
the seniority principle has made it
possible for a few men to run the
Senate end of the Capitol.
Moses therefore worked out the
scheme and Hale presented it in the
meeting of the Republican senators
that each senator shall hereafter have
membership on two of the major
committees, of which there are ten.
These are Agriculture, Appropria
tions, Commerce, Finance, Interstate,
Commerce, Foreign Relatione, Judici
ary, Military Affairs, Naval Affairs,

People with kidney ills want to be
cured. When one suffers the tor
tures of an aching back, relief is
eagerly sought for. There are many
remedies today that relieve, but do
not cure. Dean's Kidney Pills have
brought lasting results to thousands.
Here is Heppner evidence of their
inorit.
Mrs. H. Hughes, Court St., says:
"My back ached and throbbed so
badly at times I could hardly stand
the pain. The way my kidneys were
acting was causing me a lot of dis
tress I had taken only a fow doses
of Doan's Kidney Pills when I
noticed a big change; my back felt
stronger and my kidneys acted more
regularly. One box permanently
cured tho trouble and slnco then I
have enjoyed the best of health. "
Prlco 60c, at. all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy net
