It has been discovered that the
wnendements to the constitution ami
new measures proponed by petition
under the referendum law are defec
tive, in that they do not contain the
"enactment cWe," which the refer
endum law provides for. The foore
tary of Mate is deemed not the judge
as to the legality of the petition, so
long as they come to him legally sign
ed, and has no right to refuse thorn a
place on the official ballot. In the
matter of the petition for the anti
paas law, the secretary says it ill cost
the state about 120i to comply with
the requirements of the referendum
law and put the measure on the bal
lot. Is the referendum law so defective
as to compel the expenditure of that
amount of money on a bill that shows
to be of no value to auv one? The
thing is a fane, If it is plain to all
that the bill is defective and cau never
le enforced if elected by the people,
there should be no niouey squandered
on it.
A whole loToFgood printers' ink
has been wasted on what is known as
Statement No. 1 in the new primary
nominating law, and after all is said,
and further, if you please, after all
candidates for the legislature have
signed it, or refused to sign it, noth
ing has been accomplished. The con
etitution of the United States gives
legislature the right to elect United
States Senators, and until that section
of the constitution is repealed, repub
lican United States Senators will be
elected in States where the legislature
is republican and democratic senators
elected in States where legislatures
are democratic.
The woman Suffrage bill is in the
same boat as the anti-pass bill and
others that are proposed under the
referendum. The people can have the
fun of voting on them, but whether
elected by the people or not, will be
of no force, as they are said to be de
fective and cannot be enforced.
People will not have much sympathy
for Mr. Misuer, who married the wid
ow of the late Charles T. Yerkes, the
millionaire, and stepped into a fine
new nest all feathered with anywhere
from six to seventy million dollars,
and then stepped out because he could
not have more than 8200,000 annual
allownce for pocket change.

Ed. Examiner: My Pear Ureely; I
hojie you w ill not grumble lieoause I
am not more prompt in sending you
In the news. Jutt thiuk ot the irregu
larity of the malls through the means
of bad roads and deep snows, etc., and
also consider how scattered the news
is in this part of the country. It
takes quite a while to gather it in,
aud sometimes one must draw on the
imagination, through that white, cold,
cutting, freezing fog, which pervades
sometimes in (.loose Lake valley, he I
obliged to work a good deal along
shore so as to keep warm. A person,
is not in a mood to take uotes of
scenery and passing event. Then we
go to Chandler's camp or sheep ranch,
in Lower Crooked Creek, w here a man
has to run the gauntlet among dogs,
oats, rats, mice and squirrels aud
other varmint, which conflict most
vigorously and diabolically with auy
human being which they come in con
tact. Chaudler's is a splendid and
central place for station entertain
ment for man and beast. Horses to
hay 50 cents, meals 50 cents, Wds 50
ceuts, unless you prefer to sleep iu the
chicken house, or the bunk house,
which is also used as a dog gymuas
iutn. Your humble servaut took the
chicken house and thought it a castle,
for he being a little non compus, and
after a short nap, the rooster from his
lofty porch did bade in shrillest tones
the coming light of day, while I, a
hapless, helpless, sleepless wretch,
close by him on a rickety couch did
lay, cogitating aud beseeching ethere
al beings to send me balm of sleep by
which I may ietrieve my scattered
memory -and things that I forgot, but
the rooster crowed agaiu aud crew
away and cared not how a trembling
wretch would wait the light of day.
Sans Coat or hat, we traveled north
and east and visited -all the sheep
camps and fouud that sheep are doing
well aud no loss to speak of, save the
proverbial "bummer" lamb, which
generally goes over to the majority
anyhow. We get back to the beautiful
town of Plush, where the roads are
dusty and spring breathes out its
charms, already the meadow lark larks
and the blackbird notes aud the bull
frog ne'er ceases to sing, while towns
all around have snow on the ground
and there's no appearance of spring.
Cattle are being driven to the des
ert, by the JJ aud TT ranches and all
stock looking fat and slick, and no
loss to date. There is one band of
sheep being fed yet at V. C. Laird's
ranch at Blue-joint flat.
The anniversary of St. Valentine
was celebrated here in the finest style
by a most enjoyable dancce being giv
en in the town hall at Plush. The
gathering was very large. The music
was supplied by Mr. and Mrs. GriseL
Mrs. Grisel is an artfot on the harp or
piano, while Mr. G., is quite an ex
pert on the violin. The hall was
crowded and at 8 o'clock, sharp, Mrs.
Grisel touched the harp gently and
with the greatest feeling poured
fourth that famous selection from
Bethoven, entitled, Pish Atha Aguni
Agus Nae b'yer fi. At the turn of the
tune Mr. Grisel got in line with the
violin and the crowd went into es
tacies and dancing commenced. Kit
ten jumped high, but Ethel jumped
higher ; they tipped over the stove,
and the house got on fire. A bucket
of half and half from Pat Mossbank's
caused the blaze to expire and all
oat by the thousand. Tbey are cut aud sewed

went to dancing again. At 13 o'clock
a spleudid supper was laid for 1(H)
people by Mrs. lien a Scamtuon of the
Conomara Hotel, assisted by Mrs. Ida
Wiggins, the lula llookh of Plush.
The dining room was illuminated with
Japanese lanterns and the tables had
some heavy freight ami the crowd
didn't do a thing to it. After supper
dancing was resumed aud kept up till
morning.
When the dance adjourned the next
thing on tho program was the buggy
race In which Phil Lynch aud Harry i
Kolert4 contested. Harry drove a
pair of spanking thoroughbreds while j
Philip's team were relatives of our,
owu, lielng of the long-eared species. '
Each of the contestants in making the
match agreed to take his Ust girl In j
the buggy for ballast. Philip was!
very much handicapped, as his part
ner weighed avoirdupois. Harry
had for Iwllast Miss Wiggins, the Lain
llookh of Plush and the legal defend
ant and near relative of Dr. Wiggins
the great storm prophet. Phil took
for his freight the gentle Hlue-joint i
widow and if all flesh is grass, Phil:
i had quito a piece of meadow. The !
I zephyr made a racket blowing through j
j his buggy window and his team tooka'
spiu across the flat. The distance to '.
: Ih run wak mile in a northerly direc
tion from Plush. Mr. J. II. PoUoy,
! judge aud starter, dropped tho flag,
aud thev weut oir iu a cnuter. Harry
t
( must have pulled too hard on one line
! as his team left the track aud headed
j toward the TT ranch. Lyncho's jeu
j ueys seemed to have their own way as
j they were a fast lick, though Phil aud
i his partner had a line each and Phil
; was holleriug Whoa, at the top of his
i voice, but the long-ears heeded not,
I and never quit running till they got
to Blue-joint flat. At Flagstatf lake
the widow was spilled out, and Joe
Jones, who is always Johnny on the
spot No. '2, and iu the right place,
went out with a team and hay wagon
and hauled her in to Plush without a
broken bone or a scratch. Harry's
team ran about a half mile through
the sagebrush and they got tipped
! over, but no damage done, and Peggy
i Lynch the race mare, was seut to the
! scene and Miss Wiggins rode her into
town. Elder PeBoy held a religious
meeting that night in the school
house, prayed fervently and thanked
the Lord that no one was hurt.
Politics are starting already, aud
Bill Barry, superior judge of the high
tule bench, is ready at all times to
register the voters of his precinct.
Bill worked several days along shore
in Plush. He is now digging ditch
j and watching for some more ships to
j come into Port. Tho Bet ty Berry has
i gone out to sea laden with sheep pelts

! The Woodmen Ball.
! The local lodge Woodmen of the
1 World gave its annual Ball last Friday
'night, at which the Woodmen's usual
good manner of entertaining was ex
; empliflod. The hall was appropriately
decorated for the occasion, and upon
entering each one felt the warm wel
' come that awaited them. The grand
march, headed by the working team
of the lodge, in uniform, was inter
' estiug to spectators and a credit to
J the lodge. A large crowd attended
( the dance and many spectators were
! present. Music was furnished by Miss
Snelliug, violinist, Miss Ethel McKee,
pianist and Geo. Ross, cornetist, and
each of the musicians seemed to be in
exactly the right humo to furnish
good music. The proceeds from 4.'1
tickets sold was entirly expended in
preparations for a good time, aud it is
said that some "digging up" was
done. The danecrs were treated to a
dollar supper at the Palace restaur
ant. The event was a most enjoyable
one, aud all participants wish the W.
O. W. Lodge many happy anniversar
ies. A Scientific Wonder.

Register,
It is now geuorally conceded that J.
R. Whitney, the present State Printer,
is far in tho lead lu the candidacy for
renomination to that office. Mr. Whit
ney's best endorsement is his record
in the office during Lis first term.
The Gazette hopes that Morrow Coun
ty will bo in line with the other coun
ties in giving Mr. Whitney a majority.
Owing to the established rulo be la
entitled to another term. His record
in the office is such a strong endorse
ment that the people do not desire h
change at the next election. He will
get a big vote Iu Eastern Oregon and
with his undoubted strength In West
ern Oregon, he will undoubtedly be
nomlnuted by the Republicans by a
big majority. Heppuor Ouzette.
