T is difficult to umlcrstami the victory of State Treasurer lloff
in the recent primaries. ,
Inefficient public officers may often be named through ignorance.
But here was an official with a record known to the people of the
state, a record which cost the tax payers thousands of dollars. and
et he was renominated by a comfortable majority.
One can't explain this by the K. K. K, endorsement, for lloff was
the only state official of prominence to survive that endorsement.
"What is the explanation?
lloff is a likeable man of mild disposition and pood intentions. 1 1
has many staunch friends, particularly in labor circles. The only ex
planation wo can sujrRpst. is that of general public indifference, the
laet that, with less than fifty per cent ?, the Kepubliean voters going
to the polls, lloff 's solid backing was too large to be overcome.
In Multnomah county where, lloff s record was brought to the at
tention of the voters, his normal strength was perhaps reduced, in
Jackson county where the facts were also made known, lloff was de
feated, but in the state at large, the newspapers took no action, and
the state treasurer's nomination followed as a matter of course.
With Milton A. Miller, apparently successful a the Democratic
nominee, the Democrats obviously have an excellent opportunity to
name the next state treasurer. The Republicans who didn't go to
the polls have only themselves to blame. v

"I was on a jury in 1876 right here
In Jacksonville, and the son-of-a gun
of a lawyer Jabbered and Jawed for
two days, and completely overcome
the jury. Ho had hands like a woman.
Ask Maw, if you don't believe me.
The trial lasted three weeks, and the
chair I sat in still shows my hoof

dent, it was still in the clerk's office
That lawyer befuddled the jury to such
an extent that they went out and con
vlcted the defendant's horse, and
acquitted him in 7 minutes, but didn't
report for five hours so the county
could buy our dinner. The defendant
told me afterwards that he had made
all preparations to move to Salem, and
that night won $1100 playing stud with
aome slickers from Yreka. I knew 'em
when they were run out of Winno
mucca for skullduggery. One of them
was a blacksmith, and could get more
music out of an anvil than you can out
of a fiddle. What do you know about

MEMOIRS.
OW everyone is writing memoirs and kindred things, with,
criticisms blighting of cabmen, cooks and kings, of loving
and of fighting, divorce and wedding rings. And some memoirs
are classy, and rightly make a hit, and some are merely sassy and
please me not a bit; their authors, bold and brassy, mistake their
gall for wit. With duchesses dictating the story of their lives,
and butlers, teeth a-grating, exposing great men's wives, the pub
lishers are crating the coin, and business thrives. And females
who are nameless, with ink of lurid tint, write stories that arc
shameless, of wickedness they hint; and people who are blame
less don't seem to get in print. , I've read the "Recollections" of
beldames twelve or ten, who wrote out long selections from dia
ries in their den, and gave in smoking sections, punk tales of fa
mous men. They hang some silly story on men who've joined the
shades, great men who walked in glory, and led the world's pa
rades; ah, they were sinners hoary, who winked at pretty maids!
Thus Gladstone was a Willie who loved to chac a skirt, and Uea
confield was silly when he'd a chance to flirt; it makes my bosom
chilly to find in print such dirt! Through modern books I daw
dle and send up weary wails; it is an age of twaddle, old maid
are telling talcs; the fishwife is their model, with all her slime
and scales. " '
Tha Bounty Law Joker
To the KdJtor: The HMoRleal Sur
vey has In many ways done a ureal
ileal of good la the way of exterminat
ing pests, Btill It Is my object to call
attention to a rather queer manner' In
which the trappers and a msjorlty of
the country people hi the foothill and
desert regions of Oregon have been
noixlwlnked by a recent piece of lonis
latkm which 1 claim waa mainly
framed, sponsored and put through by
the WoloRlcal Survey Inspector's of
fice In this state.
For several year the bounty laws of
onr state have been subject to an
endless bombardment of criticism and
abuse from this swe. a portion of
the criticism belnK admittedly merit
ed, as It would be If directed toward
most any portion of our ounty. state
or government affairs where handling
of public funds Is concerned. Very few
of these charges, if any, have been
proven. 1
The Ulologleal Survey policy In
other states has been, and would bo In
Oregou, to first get rid of all bounty
legislation. This .being usually accom
plished through cautious agitation be
fore various gatherings, ceaseless lob
bying at the capitol, and lavishly fa
voring our newspapers, farm journals,
etc., with articles sometime decep
tive favoring their side In tho bounty
controversy.
One of the arguments advanced by
the biological survey. Is the saving to
the local district, county or state
under biological survey methods and
control as compared to the bounty
system. Undoubtedly the saving is
effected as claimed but the average
total cost of each animal to Uncle
I Samuel, the state, stockmen's associa
tions.' etc., under biological survey
management would make Interesting
reading to the average taxpayer should
these little details inadvertently slip
out into public view,
Having got rid of the bounty law,
the next move I predict, will follow
hese general . lines: The stock.
men arc called upon for some II
and are assured Uncle Samuel has $$
to .match them in the pot: the state
legislators will receive the same in
ducemcnts, also the sheep men, etc,
The spending capacity of this preda
tory branch of the biological survey Is
limited only by the bottom of the pot.
Unable so far by fair or semi-fair
means to remove the bounty law of our
state Into oblivion, and Incidentally
take away a few dollars income from
the farmer boys and resident tappers
for their insatiable desires, thfc-4 gen
tlemen have put over a good c, dis
claiming at the samo time M know
ledge of the Injocted joker pr.t.11 after
their little work was flnlBhod. Here
It is:
