. Ye Smudge Pot
I By Arthur Parry.
Tho mnstor phrase ''keep your feet
out of your whiskers," Invontod by a
Washington Htato lcKinIntor, Tor use
while in session, In Rood nil i round
advice, tind should be amended to read
and don't talk through 'cm.
(!(?islator nt Salem who neem to think the way to reduce taxes
is to talk about reducing them and then enact legislation to increase
them.
The proposed free text books bill is a ease in point.. This bill has
been presented and will lo vigorously supported by the organiza
tion in the House.
The bill, if passed, will increase the tux burden, by from two to
three hundred thousand dollars, as a minimum estimate. There is
no emergency existing which would justify suoh an expense. Ore
gon has successfully administered its educational system over half
n century without free text books; it can continue to do so for n few
years longer.
Tho peoplo of Oregon at the recent election expressed their de
mand for a decrease in tho tax burdeu in no uncertain terms. Gov
ernor Pierce and the members of the legislature arc pledgod to a pro
gram of strict retrenchment.
Obviously this is no time to experiment with free text books. It
makes no difference whether the theory of the measure is sound or
not sound. The Mail Tribune is inclined to favor free text books
when the state is .financially able to finance such a proposition.
But the state is not in that position today. Every item of expense
that can be eliminated at Salem should bo eliminated. No expenses
should bo added to the inevitable burden, that can be avoided, with
out serious injury to the public welfare.
The bill for free text books should be defeated. If the legislators
at Salem do what the people of the state elected them to do it will
be defeated.

E
VERY day some plaintive pent at my humble home appears,
asking me to give a cent I have earni'd in sweat and tears;
"Dig up, in the name of Pete." says the gent, in accents sweet;
"we' aro building a retreat for consumptive auctioneers." Every
hour some drivosmith bold to my cottage gjullivants ; for my stock
of minled gold tun I my store of groats he; pants; "Pig up from
your treasure chest," is the drivesmith's stiern behest; "we would
build a place of rest for decayed and shopworn aunU." Long
ago when people came on nn errand of this kind, they were back
ward in the game, to its faults they were, not blind; now the
(Irivesmith doesn't plead; he is arrogant, indeed ; "Hand us out
the ehicketifei'd," is his dictum, mirel'mc!. "if you do not
promptly dig." says the man who asks my wad, "then your
name in letters big will be advertised abroad; to'the confines of
the stale you will have n record prent nn the cheapest sort of skate,
ns a piker anil a fraud." Let us stop these endless drives which
the wartime made a fad for they shoo from peoplu's lives all the
joy they ever hndi lot's discourage nil the bores who go round
to people's doors asking for all kinds of oresi for the hnwbee nnd
the send.
Vera Brophy and Horace Geppert
came in from Butte Falls Monday to
nave ineir horses shod.
Wl Dahak started In the first of
the week to move fhe old store build
Ing formerly used as a store by A.
J. Daley and later bv Mr.l Heath, now
In the drug business In Medford, and
later moved from the upper end of
town down to tho business part of the
town and used by Mr. Heath after
ne moved Into tho T. K. Nichols build
ing as a warehouse, and was after-
wards sold to the Dahaks, and they
started In several weeks ago to move
It, but nover got really started at the
Job until the first of the week. They
are moving It back up the street again
ana intend to place it on tho lot
Joining the Eaglo Point pool room.
What they Intond to uso it for, they
have not given out as yet.
Among the business callers last
Monday wore W. II. O'Brien, Charles
Flint, Frank Nolin of Butte Falls: J.
V. Barrian, the superintendent of the
nsnery business in southern Oregon
and he reports being quite success
ful In catching fish for their eggs.
Ray Davis, formerly of Derby, but
now located on the T. F. Nichols
farm on Rogue river, was a business
caller Tuesday.
Perl Stowell, who is living just
outside of our town, was In town, and
reported finding tho skeletcyi of a
man In a gravel pit where he was
working in the Butte creek bottom.
He Bald that the body had the ap
pearance of having been simply
tnrown In a hole, as the legs were
doubled up and crossed, and this
brings to mind, to us old settlors, a
circumstanco that took placo some
sixty years ago. Thero was a family
lived a few miles below town, and
for the sake of any relatives who may
be living, I will designate as Mr. and
Mrs. B., nnd thoy had considerable
stock nnd owned a largo donation
claim. There was a stock buyer, a
stranger, came In, and went to the
ranch to buy cattlo and was known
to have considerable money with him
for in those days thero were very
few banks and peoplo often carried
considerable money with them. Well,
this man was seen to go to Mr. II. 's
JUBt about dak and was never seen
afterward. Thero was nothing
thought of that, and the result was
it was soon out of mind. In the
course of a few years Mr. B. was ta
ken sick and word went out to the
tew neighbors ho had, for in those
days one man would own from 320
to 640 acres of land, and tho result
waa neighbors were scarce. Well the
result was that there was a gathering
of those who were disposed to lend
n helping hand and there was Moses
Tinkhom, nn old bntchclor; Nick
Young,-Peter Simon, Charley Links
wlior, myself and wife had collected
there to render any assistance we
could, and while we wore earnestly
watching to see (lie result Mr. U.
seemed to rouse up and romnrked:
"Old woman," addressing his wife,
"Jack and me are going a hunting
and I want you to fix up some bread
and nient and a bottle of whiskey,"
and just then ho changed nnd said,
"Why you can find him easy, for
Jaok nnd mo buried him over there
bv that big cottonwood log," and
just then his wlfo went to him and
shook him, remarking, "What are
you talking about, old man: shut up
that foolishness," and that broke the
spell and we heard no more.. The
wholo family had a hard name. Jack
his oldest son, seemed to be his main
helper, and after living the life of a
genuine crook In Oregon, he went to
California, and the word came back
here tlint ho was serving a twenty
year Beutencc In the penitentiary
there for robbing the stage, and la
ter that ho had died In prison, and
Jim was hung out In Harney county.
Oregon, by a vigilance committee for
horso stealing, and the younger boys
wero sent to tho home for the feeble
minded. Thero wero two girls who
married, and I supposo they have
nnssed away by this time, but I never
heird of them boing accused ot any
wrong doing. Mrs. B. died shortly
after the death of her husli uid, and
thus rided tho career of one of tho
toUEhot families in southern Ore
gon, nnd perhaps reveals tho last
rosting pl.-wo of tho stranger who
disappeared . so mysteriously iroru
this section of the country.

Los Angeles Man Declares
Tanlac Always Takes
Away Stomach Trouble,
Loss of Appetite and
Sleepless Nights.
"Whenever I am not feeling right,
I always take Tanlau and it never
fails to do the work," declared An
drew P. Kanstrup,- 1185 Wost 24th
street, Los Angeles, Cnl., recently.
"When I first took Tnnlno, I was
Buffering from stomach trouble and
a run-down condition. My appetite
was not up to standard, and what I
did eat caused me to suffer from gas
on my Btonmch. I was bilious, ner
vous and restless and couldn't sleep
at night. My system was in such a
condition thnt I was continually
catching colds that would cause mo to
lose weight and feel even more weak
and worn-out.
"Well, sir, Tnnlno soon hnd me
feeling a hundred per Cent better. I
got over my troubles, slept well,
gained strength and felt mole like
working than ever. Now, 1 always
keep Tanlac handy for it builds me
up every time, and I do not take cold
like I used to. I wouldn't think of
being without Tanlac."
