Lake lew , Oregon, Thursday, lYItrmi ry HO, lUiil THOMPSON'S SWAMI l,AM) 1 1 1 I.I, A few of Senator Thompson's friends are doirg their utmost to fit feat his measures before tne 1 ecislature. It would he amuinif, if the questions were not so serio.i to the weitareof the peoi ' '.trc-, i'1 rend their effusions. One wie crresoondent writts that the lands in Lake Countv which will re affected by his bill pro vidirg for r claiming swamp lands will amount to lld.000 acres valued at $2, 075,01X1. An.i yet this correspondent oproes the measure because "under the provisions of the bill the acquisi tion of large tracts by companies is perrnitied." The writer undoubtedly knew the statement to be false, else he i woefully ignorant. Trie same writer states that under the provisions of the bill 235 000 acres fsn be reclaim ed by lowering the waters of Goose Lake, and adds: " This character of land has soli for good prices ard is easily worth $25 per acre," a total of $825,000. Another correspondent saya : "Tne land that wou'd be reclaimed by lewerirg the waters of tre lake are practically worthless, as it is alkali or forta " And this latter correpsond nt d'-fs not want the bill to become a law because to lower the waters of Gese Lake would entail much loss to settlers who have taken up land under the preemption and homestead laws and terder adjoining lands valueless. The creemrjtinn law was repealed many jea-c ajo, and practic.-.Ty all nf the lands t at oul'i be atfeeted by the drainage of the like pissed into private ownership many years sir.ee. although there may be two or three homestead ers whose lands would b affected. And it Is likely that trev would prefer having the Ukebed fawared a few j inches at lea-t. It is nut to he denied that in a few individual Instances the lowering of Uoorse Lake would prove a detriment, but few will contend that lowering the lake will pn ve a serious disadvantage to the community at lagre. We all know the quality of the lands subject to overflow, ard to compare theii worth with lands that are above the high water mark is scarcely to be thought of now1ays. When Governor West sifts bis corre spondence down he will probably be in a greater quandry t-an ever relative to the merit of the Thompson bill. And it might te incidntally added that no member of the Examiner force has ever heard tt.e bill criticised, al though a few have acknowledged that they were not familiar with the pro vision of the me tsore. iy v ug i" u v i. c i: u i: m on i ks The inauguration nf Governor Wood ow Wilron as President of the United States will be different from any other presidential iraiguration that ever w.,ne.u. m u in. grow op around such factions, and ir, course oi ume me cume iu u iuuhiji ; 0ifere(1 ,y the middle-man, anJ on the on almo-t as if they wer; written into j otjier hanrt tne difference between the the Constitution instead of having no pro,jUct.r'g prices and that of the mid er.lor of la at all.

TO X All over the broad land the 22d of February, Washington's birthdav, is celebrated. How shall any man add augnt to the praise and eulogy of George Wasnmg ton? History and biography, elo quence and poetry have exhausted their combined efforts upon the successful leader of the American Revolution and the founder of the American repub lic our first great national hero. Every crisis in the history of the world has found its great man to guide and control it. Call this providence or accident, the American revolution was no exception to it. Before the first murmers of discontent were heard in that struggle the man whs being prepared for the crisis. Un the banks of the Potomac and Rappannock, thirty years before Lexington and bunker Hill, a truthful and manly boy was groing op, ripening into stalwart young manhood. With only the com mon school education of that dav the young man was soon being educated in the broader school of nature and ex perience, in the great forest, under the operT heavens, with his surveyor's chain and his sword, in the Indian wars, de fending the frontier settlements from the savage incursions. That the "middle-man" bogy and the "high cost of living ' seem to be over looked since the inauguration of the parcel puU system. If published re ports are true it Is nothing unusual for a suburban resident or person living on a rural delivery route to pav from 10 to 50 per cant of the original cost of an article to have it delivered to him by parcel post. To pay a cents for the delivery ot a 25 cent steak seems very little,, but it amounts to 20 per cent of the original cost just the same. Perhaps after a time those ot us who have had the experience of buying di rect from tne producer or selling direct to the consumer, as the case may be, tSus avoiding the "middle-man," may impress the fact upon others that "All is not gold that glitters." In many instances the actual coi-t of "peddling j out" oroduce is much more man haa promi8ed to furniah farmers of the din - erence in the selling price and that).. jeuw Allurag with eutd wheat I averse to tr.e plan of "using stove pipe when tacking potatoes." So far as the writer's experience as a producer and consumer is concernei, he has found it rr.ueh more profitable end sat ihfaetorv to avail himself of the services of thj mi .idle-man. everything under the sun printed and given general circulation indicates that spite work is at the bottom of affairs. If the Grand Jury lound anything wrong why was an indictment not re- turned against the guilty parties? The report is certainly a remarkable docu- ' ment In many mays, and to have it 1 given general circulation indicates a dcire on the part of certain individual to "Re ev-n." The end la not yet, and no doubt our unhappy neighbor will gain murh unpleasant notoriety tie fore all the interested parties gain their ends. The Portland Telegram cries out In anguish concerning "tne enormous waste which marks every Legislative session." If the Telegram would sub mit an itemized statement we wonder how much ot that "enormous wate"i would show to have been expended in Multnomah Countv. According lo the metropolitan press any appropriation for a "cow country" is enormous waste, j but when Portland and vicinity re- i ceivea an apportionment it is for a I worthy object and a judicious expend-J iture of the p. hlic funds, as witness the effort for a bridge across the Col- umbia at Vancouver. A Portland paper demand the pass age of an act requiring goat-meat to he labeled as such. What's the matter with labelling "bull beef," stags and the like? A almilxr act might apply to pork as well. The princely t etchers tiiroi ghout the State would then be compelled to let loose of some of their ill-gotten gains, or rather could not impose upon the poor customer who ia now compelled to take his word aa to the kind, sex, age, condition in life, etc., of the meat o'Tered for aale. ADDITIONAL BRIEFS Our popular C mnty School Super intendent C. E. Oilver war the recip ient ota very hardsome and appro priate valentine.

Taylor celebrated her 83rd birthday last Friday at her home on Dewey street. A number of friends gave her a most pleasant sur prise Dy calling upon her in the after noon. She was presented with a birth day cake which was partaken of and enjoyed by all present. A delightful afternoon was spent by the elderly ladies and they all returned home feel ing young again despite the many years ot usefulness they have already served Governor West, the state's highest executive, let his anger get the better of hisj dignity and entered into a fi-tic combat with Frank L. ferkins, a news paper correpsondent, last week in the capitol rotui.da. The governor accused Perkins of muckraking him in the columns of a Portalnd evening paper and a few hot words brought on blows. They were soon separated by members of the legislature, among whom wivbit very much. We understa-d he is Senator Thompson of Lakeview. Robt. L.
