The brazen blast of a man-steed saw mill' is heard in the valley, and it Intends "to ravish the v.lrgln forests of Oregon," and invade the haunts of the notch-tailed woodpeckers. Docs anybody have any idea when the papers will quit printing stories headed, "Tolls of Frightful Conditions In Russia." Tho plan to have the Statue of Lib erty hold aloft a coupling pin, instead of a torch, is petering out. The Rev. Albert J. Hudson of Boston Is proposing a movement to "have but one creed." The idea would put a mil lion or so socts out of business, and is entirely too sensible to be successful. A BLOW AT ROLLED SOCkI (Albany Herald) Miss Dorothy Scolt escaped from serious: Injury a week ago Saturday when an auto hit lior and then passed over her. Tho rosuit was, however, that she only re ceived a slight brulso on tho knee. "MONEY FOUND IN BANIC" (Hd line Portland News). How unusual. The bottom is dropping out pf the charges filed by Mr. Hall of Coos coun ty, who wont crazy witli the notion ho was dostlned by Providence to bo gov ernor of Oregon. His political oppo nents committed every crime in the calendar except the one of voting for lilm. Wherever ho lost cussodness wsb rampant, wherever ho won civic virtue flourished. Ho was elected by the Imagination of his managers, while under the law, nothing counts but votes. i , j A3 IT HAPPENS (Omaha Excelsior) Oh, say can you sing from tho Blurt ' to tho ond. What so proudly you stand for when orchestras play it When the whole congregation In ' voices that blend Strike up tho grand hymn and then torturo and ulny it? How they bellow and shout when they're first starting out, But "the dawn's early light" finds them floundorliig about. 'Tis "Tho Star-Spanglod Banner' they're trying to Blng, But they don't know tho words of tho precious old thing. Hark! Tho "twilight's lust gloaming" has some of thorn stopped, But the valiant survivors press for ward sercnoly To "the ramparts wo watched," whore somo others are dropped And the Ions of tho leaders is man I font kocnly; Then "tho rockets' red glare" gives the bravest a scaro, There are few left to face "tho bombs bursting in air" 'Tis a thin line of heroes that manage to savo The last of the verse, nnd "the home of tiie brave." A VERY pootl American is supposed to revere the Constitution. Not only the constitution of his. country, but of his state. For the constitutions of country and still represent the wisdom of our forefathers, the fundamental law. Hut as far as the state constitution of Oregon is concerned, this reverence has, in recent years, been woefully lucking. Through the initiative at every state election, Ihcce is a perfectly inane and linid-tlle-heatlcd onslaught ou the state constitution, and only Hit saving .'race of popular common sense has prevented the fundamental law from being scrambled and hashed and mutilated, beyond cither recognition or comprehension. At the coming election the nsuitl onslnHght will be made. And wilJi the public mind, distraught ami disorganized ns never before, there is grave danger that some of these proposals to change the fun damental law will be adopted. One is for a salmon fishing and prvpogation amendment. It would regulate through the state constitution, the operation of our fish hatcheries. Could anything be more preposterous? Imagine regu lating the gentle art of angling, a necessarily changeable and roman tic recreation, by a change in the fundamental law. Still another is changing the interest rate, a third is grafting the Single Tax nightmare on the constitution, and then of course the much discussed Anti-Parochial school law, which would mark Ore gon as the first find only state in the union, to deny religious and edu cational freedom. With the possible exception of the income tax amendment, there ia not a proposal, for constitutional amendment tin's year, which is desirable, either from a social or business standpoint, and yet the issues, thanks to the Initiative, have been raised and must be met. There are only two ways to meet thein. Either the people must effectively crush this tampering with the state constitution, by voting down each constitutional amendment that is offered, regardless of its merits, leaving the initiative in such fundamental matters, to the legislature, or there must be an awakening of public interest to such nn extent that the voters as a whole, will study every proposal so that its exact meaning and effect may bo clearly understood. The last plan is the better. But it will never work unless every voter assumes his and her share of the responsibility. 1 How many Jews live in New- York? 2 What sets tho postoffiee hours? 3 What name does Switzerland use on postugo stamps? 4 What is ballistics? 5 What are two svnolivms for sanc tion? 8 What color is Mars? 7 What color is Venus? 8 What is a mongoose?

Quill Points A good reputation, like charily covers u multitude of sins. Some men go through life with undiminished faith in their fellow men, and somo sign notes. Tho chap who rocks the boat soon gets a chance at the one Charon poles across the Styx. That prominent churchman, who says sex novels sell by the ton doubtless means the sexton. These hot days, she is a fortunate woman who lias leisure to lie about home wrapped in thought. "When you observe mangled political hopes along the highway, you always know that a tariff bill has passed. If an Irish business man cats a very light lunch, he usually can get an extra thirty minutes for sniping. That Texas girl who married a ball playing poet probably doesn't know whether she took him for butter or verse. You can't really buy a nomination, but in process of getting it you can spend more money than it is worth. The world isn't really growing better. It. just seems that way be cause people have quit saying "camouflage." Impossible happenings:. "Take her boy," said the fond parent. "She has been badly spoiled and a little poverty will do her good." It is pleasant to live in the country whore you know so many people, and pleasant to live in the city where so few people know jou. A physician says: "If you would get a rest, tour the country during yinir vacation." lie probably means: "If you would get arrested."

Ol'll DOCTOR is a wise old lad, and oft he s.vys to me, "The whole blamed world is feeling bad, as sickly as can be, be cause the people are galoots who seem to want disease; they will not live upon the fruits that grow upon the trees. The whole some turnip they traduce, they shy lit beets and prunes; they will not look ou onion juice, or pour it in with spoons. They all must have their roasts and steaks, ami victuals fried in grease; and so their forms are filled with aches, which aches destroy their peace. You've eaten ninny cows, my friend," the gootl old doe declares, "and pigs nnd chickens without end, ami geese and Bel gian hares. Ami now your bones are full of lime, you are a wreck no doubt, and you are groaning half the time with rheuinati. and gout. If you hud eaten pours and plums and riee and lemon peel, you would not have scorbutic gums, or anthrax in your heel. Right gladly would I now explain the evil of your way, but I must go and see Hill Blaine, who has the cramps today. Ho ate too' many apricots, tho contents of a can, and now a bob-tailed fcpasiu trots around his inner man." WITH MEDFORD TRADE IS MEDFORD MADE. HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW?

George rtroadhursl's hardy perennial, readied the screen of tho Pago theater this week as a William He .Millo produc tion, with Agues Ayres nnd Jack Holt in tho leading roles. In Its camera reincarnation "Bought and Paid For" lias lost none of the fun damental appeal which made it a phe nomenal stage success. William Be Mille has not taken any liberties with tho story and has given it much the same sotting that was seen on the stage. "Bought nnd Paid For" will pieaso as well in six reels as it did in three acts. "Bought and Paid For" romaina at the Page theatre only two days more.

JKSSK IilCHAHHSOX regarding Eagle Point Irrigation District Bonds 1 MRDFOrtn, Aug.- 2. Although $l.r0,000 bonds of this issue worn re-1 served especially for residents cf Med-! ford and vicinity already more than' $50,000 of tho bonds have been sold. I it may bo impossible to personally I meet all my clients and friends lie-1 tore the balance has been sold. This letter is therefore written to get the! facts before as many as possible. - j Security Absolute Mineteen thousand, eight hundred; acres are covered under the tax lien of this issue, at the rato of $20.22 per acre. Figured against the ! choicest land, G,"00 acres, presently to be irrigated, the debt amounts to but $03,49 per acre. The 'value of these lands is conservatively figured at $1,500,000, whilo the bond fcsue amounts to but $400,000. These lands will increase in value and the bonded debt "will be reduced by an nual payments. Reason for Low Debt Big Eutto Creek furnishes tho water supply, a positive, adequate, reliable supply. No reservoir is re quired; only a small diversion dam. -No difficult engineering problems are presented. A harmonious organ ization of farmers, who knew what they wanted, the advice of progres sive local bankers, cooperation of ex pert engineers; and the result was at tained. Money was not wasted. Tax Lien General No land under this District can be released until every cent of principal and interest of every last bond has been paid. Tho lien of these bonds secures tho holder in exactly tho same way as a School 'District Bond. Heats 77" Mortgages Figure It up. (Night nnd day, year in and year out these bonds pay in terest thero Is no period of idle money, nq time taken out for re Investment, no delay in payment of interest, no Federal Income Tax to pay, no expenses and no requests for favors, extensions or delays. Any man who will figure can fully prove this.
