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." ,

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.
