Lots of Moisture
WJNTR, if it be wet, is welcome in the Klamath country.
Hence there is general gratification over the abundant
precipitation of the fall to date, and those who know do not
complain at the current rain-and siiow storm.
Klamath, during the summer, enjoyed the reputation of
being one of the few green spots in a drouth-stricken country.
That portion of our farming land which is watered from Upper
Klamath lake received an abundance of moisture as usual, and
the supply elsewhere in the farming district was not seriously
short.
But that doea not mean that we do not need a wet winter. The
Inflow Into Upper Klamath Lake waa next to the lowest In the his
tory of record-keeping here. The level Of the lake Is not dealrable, ,
and It caused such problema as the dangerous duck sickness. The
farm land that Is Irrigated from Clear lake reservoir needs a heavy
snowfall In the watershed from which It draws.
Prom every standpoint except that of comfort for the lazy, wet
weather la dealrable for the Klamath country thla year. It means
that snows are piling up In the hills to send water down to our
farmlands next summer; It means that the ranges will provide
more adequately for our livestock; It means water In a country
where prosperity la largely founded on water. A cheer for old

A Canadian editor was tarred tnd

scribe stands accused of Inciting the

press have Inveighed against the
slaughter, with no apparent results

proves the truth of the more or less
ancient wisecrack: "A monkey-wrench

nut on an auto, except the one at
the steering wheel."
B. Colernsn recalls when kerosene I
cost 11 per gallon here. The price
caused cltlrem to cuss John D.

allege they were paying for sending
missionaries to China. Mr. Coleman
also remembers that the hook in
the celling, from whence the lamp
that burned the kerosene, was sus
pended, was long enough and strong
enough to hold a 3-year-old ateer,

WHAT EVERYBODY'S DOING!
People are running around in circles.
And they are all forgetting to touch

And nobody hss time to attend to

with them themselves, they
don't take the opportunity to

Because If worries or their own are

Of which there la never any lack.

Sixty -Four Communists
THERE are 64 Communists in Astoria who are citizens. That
was the number of votes received in the recent election by
Mrs. Emilia reuhkerincn, candidate for mayor. Mrs. Peuhker
inen did not run as a Communist but as an independent. How-
ever, her activities in the Communist cause had established her
in the public mind so well that none were in doubt as to her
identity. And she received 64 votes.
No better test of the Communist strength In this community
' could be made, and we suspect that Mrs. Peuhkerinen now regrets
that she made the teat. She can no longer appear before .publlo
bodies and contend that she represents the "workers."
The vote she received pretty well answers the charge sometimes
made on the outside that Astoria Is a hotbed of Communists. With
such a very small proportion of her population Infected with the
virus of Russian propaganda, any such charge Is patently absurd,

They are again reporting the gravl

without any reference ot the hustling
qualities of the peasant. By early

A Strong New Party
I'T'IIK election well-nigh eliminated the Republican party as
1 a serious rival of the Democrats, but it raised up a new unc
that may provo more serious in .1930. It operates under two
names, progressive in Wisconsin and farmer-labor in Minnesota
but its principles and support arc similar ami it could be easily
merged by the next presidential election.
In both states the new parttea handed the Democratic candldatea
a genuine beating. In Wisconsin the progressives elected th gov
ernor. United States senator, moat of the congressmen, most of the
state ticket and many of th county tickets. They are well en
trenched. In Minnesota th farmer-labor senator and governor
were re-elected over Democratic opposition and the Democrat
squeaked through with only one congressman.
This movement In th central northwest shows that there Is a
very large voting strength to the left of th Rooeevelt administra
tion, with effective leadership in the two LaFollettea In Wisconsin
and Senator Shlpatead and Governor Olsen In Minnesota. If th
administration at Washington slants to th, right It will surely face
opposition from this group In 193(1. ,
The only way to head them off la to be liberal enough to steal
much of their thunder and thla Is probably what Mr. Roosevelt
will do. But unleaa conditions Improve this radical movement Is
likely to spread to other states. The Zimmerman vote ahowa what

There Is no known antidote or ef
fective remedy for acute or chronii
poisoning by these coal tar distil
lates. Their destructive effects in the
blood and the vital organs persist Ions
after the acute symptoms are ovor
with.
Quite similar, though usually moro
insidious poisoning may occur from
the bad habit of taking coal tar do
rlvatlves such as acetanilide phena-
cetln, an ti pyrin and the thousand an l
one paln-klller or fatlgue-deadener
nostrums which depend on these In
gredients for their effects. The serwo-
benumblng action of these coal tnr
derivatives by no means indicates that
they are curative In any way. It Is
the height of folly to take such dopc
with any childish fancy that It m.w
be good for whatever ails you. Ati
In my opinion It ls Ju.it as foolish
to take aspirin or any of the modern
panaceas of that clasa without first
deciding whether your heart, blood
and constitution can stand such
drugs. Of course suffering and pi:n
must be alleviated In some condi
tions, and these coal tar analgesics
are perhaps the most suitable agents
available for the purpose, but cer
tainly the general laity abuses these
drugs, often to the serious detriment
of health, and It ls scandalous that
vicious propaganda In behalf of this
habit ls not even frowned on by our
government.

Twelve hundred miles Is approxi

the emigration to Oregon started.
In other words, Jackson county has
half equalled the building of the
Oregon Trail more than that, aa a
matter of fact, for the roads we have
today are vastly better than the
Oregon Trail, which was little more
than wheel tracks following the best
route then available.

ANOTHER comparison may help
you to grasp the size of the
Job Jackson county has done in
building 1200 miles of road:
It , is roughly 3000 miles from
Omaha to ' San Francisco, and the
building of the Union Pacific rail
road between those points ranked as
one of the great achievements of the
past century.
Taking Into consideration differ

fact that the Union Pacific roadbed
when built, was far more primitive
than railroads of today, It Is prob
