should be amended before passage.
The bonding lift does not provide for the payment of
interest, and if such provision was made, the bonds would
sell more readily. .Interest payment clauses are contained
in the provision for petition and notices of election, but
there should be a straight obligation in the law, and in the
bond. There should also be a provision that counties are
obliged to pay bonds at maturity, so that if not paid the
holder might mandamus and compel a tax levy.
There is no provision for keeping the redemption fund
intact.
different dates, an immense amount of money will be lost
to the counties in loss of interest on the redemption funds.
It might be wise to provide for investing the redemption
fund. There ought to be some penalty providing for not
holding the hind intact, and some remedy in either tax
payer or bond holder or both, so that this redemption fund
could be insured.
.In the convict labor bill the word convict should lie
changed to "prisoner" and there should be a provision
against any particular garb or dress. The hours of labor
should be limited, and a provision for prisoners making
complaint for ill-treatment, and a penalty of mistreatment,
as well as a provision for medical aid.
The "state aid" act appears more to be a plan for the
sale of l'oad machinery than anything else. Jt is not par
ticularly objectionable.
BURIED TEN

Intending to return within a few

On the return Journey, seeing that
a storm was Immlii'nt, they endeav

taken en route nnd forced to turn
hack to the shelter of the Raymond

The worst of the storm was en
countered In tho Illinois valley be
tween Colts Range and Crescent City.
While trying to cross tho valley
through almost four feet of snow,
they came upon tho stnrgo from
Grants Pass, which was held solid
in a drift. A woman passenger on
the stage was carried by the driver
for over half a mile and then placed
on a horse and taken through to the
station.
Upon reaching there the party met
the driver and passengers of tho
northbound stage, which had suffer

WILLIAM ALLIEN WIILTti contributes another ol"
his interesting political essays to the February
Anieriean Magazine: Lie says:
" Given a large railroad loeoinoiive pulling a train of
ears across country; add on small panting dog with a fixed
idea stretching out like a jack-knife as he runs along the
railroad right of way; put in one philosopher with a specu
lative turn of mind and the question naturally presents
itself, what would the dog do with the engine if he caught
it? ISver since locomotives were invented they have at
tracted the critical activity of dogs and have presented this
puzzling problem to philosophizing humanity. But no real
dog ever has caught a real engine so the problem is one
of the irrelevant 'it's' of history.
" But coincident with this vain ambition of the dog to
capture and curb the engine, humanity has been running
alongside of business trying to make it honest. 10 very
man's conscience, like the little dog on the right of way,
has been barking a protest against the great ruthless, noisy
thing beside him, and philosophers .grounded in the belief
that this is a material world have "Tinned and wondered
what the spiritual dog would do with the large, crass, sub
stantial engine if he ever got it. Of late that is ifi this
generation in the memory of toddling infants in their
forties (he barking has been more insistent than it was
(luring (he heart of the last century. In the sixties, seven
(ies, eighties and nineties of the nineteenth century, the
reformer was a long-haired individual who forgot to reg
ister for the election, lie was a rank outsider who looked
over the shoulders of the real players and confused the
game. Hut of late the reformer has been sitting in. Seven
years' occuptuicy of the White House by a reformer has
made the cult at once respectable and practical. There
will be fifty-seven out-and-out reformers in the republican
caucus of the next national house of representatives and
jt dozen United States senators 'who are consumed with
the fire from the light Unit never was on land or sen. More
over, in nineteen states governors are' sitting who tire ac
cused of being reformers and have either begged the ques
tion or have pleaded uuiltv. Kven werse: hi twentv-l'ive
CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS

II. J. Kelly, jr., who for u num
ber of years waa in charge of the
Elk creek hatchery, but who is now
in charge of tho bureau of fisherus
in the Argentine republic, writes that
on a recent visit to an Argentine
stroma he saw a number of his old
friends. Mr. Kelly writes:
"I had the pleasure of seeing
four pound steelheads up in the Tu
euman province that were only two
years old. These were some of the
fish hatched from the eggs from
Grants I'ass about throe years ago.
It certainly did look good to a home
sick Oregonian to see some of his old
friends striking at grasshoppers
in these far off southern streams."
