Editorial Snap Shots Trading at home means prosperity at home. It must be that the timber men’s gum shoe man must have something to do with the Oregon voter. It is simply a question of time with "store” newspapers when they are found to be an expensive luxury. Probably this is the reason that the Cloverdale Courier had to sever its connection in that direction and stand upon its own bottom. Instead of recalling the county court of Polk County, we believe it is entitled to a vote of thanks for the excellent roads built in that county. But there are sore heads in every county, and it seems to us this is another case of rule or ruin which the voters of Polk County should turn out in large numbers and squash. The recall law is greatly abused, and al ways will be so, for it places a weap on in the hands of knockers and who have personal grievances. We believe that those who want a recall election should be charged up with th e ex pense, not the taxpayers, and if that was adopted there would be fewer recalls. The snap shot man’s trip to South- ern Oregon and Crater Lake proved highly interesting in many respects, which we shall refer to from time to time. One thing that impressed us most was the inflated value placed in fruit farms by real estate speculators and the enormous amount of ¡and that has been planted to fruit the past few years. To our way of look ing at the situation it must be that people in that section of the state arc fruit crazy. This is a strong statement to make but we can prove it without fear of contradiction. Large tracts of alfalfa and hay lands, which resulted in profit have been planted to fruit trees, with the result that the owners now realize that they made a vital mistake, especially where these lands are in the frost belt. To sum up the consensus of opinion,, this was the general complaint everywhere: "We can’t sell the fruit and we have no market.” But that is not all, for when it is taken into consideration that a whole lot of this fruit lands were sold at fabulous prices, and ___ large numbers of persons who have been induced to invest their money this way are down and out, mourning the loss of their hard earned cash. This is what land speculators have done for Southern Oregon. For instance, we were shown some hill land cover ed with sage brush, and that badly burned up, that land speculators held for $joo per acre. There is no doubt but what real estate sharks have done a land office business in Southern Oregon for several years, but they have proved therastlves a curse to that part of the state, and many good hardworking settlers have been bilked by them, which makes it more distressing when persons advanced in years have lost their wad. team and lugging water into the house in buckets. That reminds me ol what your poor old name sake, Amos Boggs, had to endure to keep his wile supplied with water on wash day. He nad to carry pail after pail of water from the old well through the or chard and across the barnyard to the kitchen when Mrs. Boggs washed for the family and several summer board- ers. Therefore, he was in no* mood to enjoy the questions of an inquisitive woman who was spending her vaca tion at their house. “How many years have you been at this sort ot work, carrying water so far for household use, even the family washing?” she asked, elevating her eyebrows and puckering her mouth. Mrs. Boggs was then expending her energy and the heat of a heavy iron on a dress be- longing to her questioner. ‘1 en years,” answered Mr. Boggs, striding on with his pails full of water. “Dear, dear!” exclaimed the woman in a pitying tone. “Why, how much water do you supposed you’ve carried in that time?” He didn’t stop to answer nor even look at her, but went straight on into the kitchen, and set the pails down with as near a thump as the nature of their contents would permit, then went to the door, and, leaning wearily against the frame, answered in a jerky tone, rather spitefully: "Madam, I’ve carried all the water that’s been in the well dur ing that time and isn't there now.’ That is just as we had to do, Amos, before we had the well bored and good, pure water came rushing into pipes all over the house and farm; and now all we have to do is to turn a faucet and out rushes, from the bosom of good mother earth— from somewhere but a little this side of China—water inexhaustable, fit for the gods to drink. ber on lhe program presented by the Barnes Wild Animal Circus, is a lion act, in which twenty-four full-grown, jungle bred African lions are assem bled. * The group represents the very acme of lion perfection as to size, appear ance and training, I he herd, if placed on the market, would quickly sell for $50,000, the normal price for a lull grown male being $2,500. These lions are unquestionably the finest speci- mens in captjvity and are also the best trained lions known. The twenty-four man eaters arc turned loose at one time in the big steel barred arena in the center of the tent, one lone trainer in their midst. Herr Louie Roth is the man—a trainer of lions of international fame, and the control he exercises over the ferocious beasts is certainly remark able. Crowding his way among them, armed with only a small whip, he proceeds to put the animals through a score of different poses and pyra mids; mounts one of the largest on a high pedestal and then straddles the snarling animal's back; feeds another raw meat from his naked lips; places his head in another’s mouth; arrang- | es the entire lot in a great pile on the floor and lies on the top-most one. lhe spectacle is thrilling to an ex treme. lhe act ends with lhe lions doing a free for hurdle race around • the arena. Should any one attend the show not care to witness the many thrilling wild animal acts, they can turn thin attention to the features in which large troups of dogs, monkeys, I caul- other domestic animals are shown. Beautiful prancing high school horses do the late po| ulai dam< -. matches and poses. Arabian and Shetland ponies assemble in brilliant military drills. Fifty dogs and monkeys do a line of tricks, acrobatics, high jump- ing and diving. Rocky Mountain goats give exhibitions of their dex- terous climbing abilities. Also, one of the most marvelous acts know n to , dumb animal training is the sea lion , group, these animals performing ’ feats never before shown. | Then there's the laughing section, a comedy aggregation of fifty comedy elephants, bears, dogs, pigs, monkeys, ponies, mules etc. Every phase of trained animal entertainment is pro- . vided by the Barnes Circus. I A glittering mile long parade is presented to the public at 10:30. Pei formances will be given in 1 illamook at 2 and 8 p.m. on Saturday Aug. 2tst. ■*..... All things that we call wealth come from the land by work. Even the money that we buy or sell these things for, the tools that we use to make them, the machines we use in manufacturing them, are themselves drawn from the land, and hence capital is only that part of wealth, of the product of the land and labor, which is used to make or get more wealth. There is money to be made out of the soil, if you go at it intelli- gently. Any man who has b rains enough to conduct any kind of busi ness successfully, or knows enough to make a profit in the employment of laborers, or is good enough finan cier to meet monthly bills, knows enough to make money out of the soil. The same attention to details, of the crops and the farm in all depart- ments will bring to him satisfactory profits. Of course he must have ex- perience, but by going slowly at first on the best information obtainable and profiting by the experience of others, which he can ascertain by reading and conversation, he can,, in a year or so, by the employment of laborers skilled in farm work, have a far more satisfactory business estab- lished than is possible in any other way. What chance of success has a business man of small means in the city, other than a mere living. He will only grow old trying to keep abreast of his expenses. Many of these people have a natural liking for the land. They love to prune, to plant, to help nature perform her marvels, and they might make a grand success of their lives if they worked the soil, and it is a life worth living.
