WTXXIXG OP TIIE WEST. In days of old, the lure of gold Led men from home and distant lands; They fought their way, by night and day, To where were found tho golden sands. Thoy mined a wealth of gold and health; Kind fortune smiled at their be hest. They claimed the Iand,r.nd savage band No longer ruled throughout the west. The fruitful field the orchard yield, Tho town, the hamlet all attest A work well done a -jork begun By men who strlved to win the west. T The years have passed, and coon tbe last Bravo pioneer will be at rest. Above their clay each ono may say: "Here Ho the men who won the west." No marble shaft nor cenotaph Can men like these with famo In vest. There's greater fame, for r.U acclaim, "All honor theirs thoy won tho we3t." , John Scott Mills. MILADY NICOTINE AND I.

OPPORTUNITY "B ARNUM AND BAILEY'S Greatest Show on Earth" offers conclusive proof that the door of opportunity is still unlocked for those who pound hard enough to force it open. Chance still abounds for those with courage and capacity, despite the era of trusts and the rule of the " uncrowned kings of finance." "Barmim and Bailey's" is owned and operated, along with "Eorepaugh's," "Ringlhig's" and other large cir cuses, by the Ringling brothers, who a few years ago were struggling youths in a "Wisconsin town, with no capital except energy and native ability. Starting in a small way, with a minstrel show, thoy are today the circus kings of the world, with fortunes estimated at many millions, with extensive manufacturing plants, with agents at every corner of the globe, with tens of thousands of employes. Barnum created, or at least developed the circus. Ring ling Brothere have perfected it, reduced its management to a science, supplanted chaotic conditions with business organization, and transformed the circus, from an uncer tain financial investment, into a hugely remunerative in stitution, and in so doing the' have bettered the condi tion of the employed and increased the attractions offer ed the amusement-loving public. What the Ringlings have done with the circus, others have done and are doing in other lines. Perhaps not the same opportunities exist as did a few years ago for sol-: diers of fortune, but opportunities equally as great abound today for those with ability, audacity, energy, persistence and courage. Such are ever able to force their way through the mass of humanity to success. THE FOREST FIRES A GREAT deal of smoke, a vast area of underbrush in flames and some, but not much, fine timber burned, is the result of the fires that for the past two weeks have raged through the forests of this vicinity. The actual damage has been overestimated. The cabins of homesteaders and buildings in the path of the blaze have mostly been saved, largely through the efforts of the troops, who have been heroically fighting fire for over a week. Volunteers have responded freely to the call of the forest 'rangers who are directing the battle with the flames. Such a forest fire as that liow raging must burn itself out. It cannot be checked, except by rain and no rain seems in prospect. In many of the burnt districts more good than harm has been done, logging operations made easier and the good timber not materially injured. The forest fires were most of them started by h lintel's and campers, who carelessly set out fires and leave them to bum at will. Some may have been of incendiary origin but this is improbable. Owners of large tracts of ripe timber should begin to utilize their holdings and manufacture lumber before their property goes up in flames. There are too many conserva tionists among timber owners of Jackson count'. Tphe Sunday Oregonian publishes a pipe dream of Scc--- retary Ballinger's having been cut off from es cape from Crater Lake for three days by forest fires, which "rendered their return to Medford impossible." The secretaiy spent about three bom's at the lake, left Klamath Palls in the morning and returned the same eve ning. Mr. Ballinger went by rail from Portland to Klam ath Palls and not by auto from Portland via Medford, the hardships of which trip are so graphically portrayed. Seldom arc so many mis-statements made in one article as this one, and it is the more surprising, as the Orego nian's own columns gave full details of Ballinger's visit. HERKIN STILL EXHIBITING HIS STRING OF MORAL PEARLS (Sacramento Bee.) And yet this wiine pntterer of all Willinm K. Herrin is feeiiditifjho ethieul virtues is tho Peter who through tho mails n pamphlet en- titled, "Public Duties ot Educated Men.'' This is the address which this cor rupter of courts, owner of legisla tures as proxy for tho Southern Pa cific, and mukes of governors in the same interest, delivered on June 11 Inst at Corvnllis, Or,, during" the nuartor-centcnniul jubilee exercises of tho Oregon Agricultural college. Ono who reads it, not knowing tho record of William P, Herrin, might tnko him to ho a stern moralist whose sole aim in tho world is to inculcate those sterling principles of public honor, official honesty nnd private integrity to which his own career bears a similar relation to that which tho lifo of tho Savior bore to tho sermon on tho mount. And yet this same philosophic purist is tho Doubting Thomas of California politics ho has no abid ing faith in human honesty; he bo lioves every man has his price; and, with his tainted hands reeking with all corruption, lie over seeks to smirch tho hands of tho servants of tho peoplo nnd bring them cI.jwi. lo his own dirty level. STILL ABOUNDS. constantly denies tho Savior of Good that is in nil men, by bttildintr his political church on tho Rock of Evil. And yet this same poll-parrot of tho moralities is tho Judas Iscariot who lias betrayed his state and his state's honor many nnd mnny a timn for the silver of the' Southern Pa cific. Tho devil can quote Scripture to suit his purpose. And William F. Herrin, doing Sa tanic work in California, can dis seminate throughout the statu u string of moral pearls, at whose out ward appearance at least oven Mar cus Aurclius need not blush. camnalen to tho' imnortanco of the sale you want to make, Yon wouldn't trust a ten-horso power task to a ono-horso power engine.
