Oofambia-- Register 1TRMSIIKD EVERY r UUUY. HOI'LTOS. OREGON, MAY 12. Mtt. K. H. MITCHELL, K.litor and Publwlur. We oriumntt -otln-n imilato. The rain is on time. How about the court house Columbia connty. will be at the Live Stxk show in the Lewis ami Clark exposttion. ' We suggest that the County oftiioers leave the parties who are experting the County records to do the work by themselves. A good place for T. T. Geer is on his far.n, re marks the Knter prise Democrat. There are other, in Columbia County, who would do well to go on the farm. Sinse the advent of the suburban trolley, country telephone and the maal free delivery, along with the cheapening and bettering of literature, the happiest and most independent man on earth is the farmer. A gent'eman wants know where the county stock ing containing the $3,000 court house funds is hurried, as he would like to dig for it a second time? He says lie and his neighbors had to dig pretty hard to find their share to pay in. Dierk's Band is the musical attraction-in-chief at the Lewis and Clark Fair now. Half a dozen other good bands help to supply the music, so that the Exposition grounds have plenty of nulody. There's muic in the air and something doing every day at the big western fair. The remnant of the old Mitchell ring, in Columbia county, together with some of the knockers of the last republican county ticket, held a pow-wow at St. Helen last Wednesday, presumably for the purpose of practic ing conctrttd action in their unclean scramble for office and continued conciousless raid on the treasury. Just what Deviltry was hatched at their buzzards feast is not known ; but the tout ensemble of the croud is proof conclusive that the old gang of political high binders who have so long run the County has not been jar"d loose. It is not grnncrally known that, anions hi many claims to fame, Tl o m t Jefferson was the originator of the mule In America. He it was who brought about the first cross in Virginia which, by subsequent mufti plication, introduced to posterity the. inviluable farm animal whose labor has done so much to bring alout the marvelous development of the United States. Now while they are building so many monuments, why not one to the mule? Many men have been honored in sculpture whose services to the country and claim upon its gratitude are not so great as that of "the use Inl animal, which l as neither pride of ancestry nor hope of posterity." There is a fallacy in the argument which justifies big navies on the ground that they insure peace by warning other nations not to attack. Hut could not the same end Ik; reached by a general agreement among nations to keep no warships at all. Then none could attack with these monsters, and therefore no nation w.nild med them tor defense. The sanir argument an plies t armies. If alolislicd entirely all tut ions wculd Ik; on the same footing in this respect ami the dangers of war reduced to a minimum. Lynching as a national industry, sects to wane. The mobs kilt a victim here and there, but the decline i i the crimes leads u hope that eventually thU shock ing form of barbarism will be stamped out. It is culiar to the United States, no other eivilied country seeming to find it necessary to abrogate low iu the puni?dimcnt of evil doers. Crimes against life cuusti lutes the nut serious blot upon our national charac ter, and no rvform is so badly needed as the reviving of general respect for the majesty of the law. A Japanese tea house and garden, built oo the olc of (iuild"s-Luke, constitute. a new feature at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. The house is built in tlve dainty Japanese style i nl tea and rice cakx are served on the coy veranda by cute little maid froui Japan, The new establishment is located on Gray's boulevard, at tlu: very outer edge of the trail. :i: The Trail at the Lewis and Clark Exposition) is now covered with a canvas roof for it's entire ltngth along that part f it which extends over the In it. this is the main section of the Trail. Tiie roof will afford protection from the suu and make the Trail more popular than ever. This is said to be the biggil ui vas job roofing v.-r undertakeu.
