THE TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT.
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.

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

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-

goats give exhibitions of their dex-
terous climbing abilities. Also, one of
the most marvelous acts know n to ,

performing ’
feats never before shown.

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.
