C05IMENT. Tbe above law was passed through the loht legislature. It is a cunningly devised scheme to fasten upon Oregon textbooks for all the common schools until 1901 at present high trust prices' The choice will not be with tbe teach ers of Oregon. Nothing will be easier than to mako rules and regulations tbat will force any one Arm out of competi tion or give it to any firm tbey please. Reading tbe law between tbe lines shows tbat the whole final power of selection rests with tbe board and tbe board is Mr. McElroy, Asone correspondent has said , Oregon has bad enough of this one-man power. It is time to put a stop to it. This law was prepared in Mr. McElroy'a office, put through the sonate by Biackman of Eastern Oregon. It was taken up and discussed in the house and de feated by a vote of 25 to 30, Tbe sollq est men in tbe 'bouse voted against it, men like Bishop, Cooper, Ford, both Geers, GUI, Layman,. Trulliuger, Ormsby, 8taats, WilkirJs, and MlUer of Linn. Next day enough members bad been seen by McElroy and his forces to ie consider and pass the bill, Several who voted against it were conveniently ab sent. Nothing but personal presence of tbe state superintendent would have passed this law, No one has asked for the enforcement ot this law. No oue has asked for any change In text books.

III Trademark. A certain jndge who is blessed with a tremendous head of hair, which is generally in a Btato of wild disorder, was questioning a youthful witness to make snro that ho comprehended tho character and importance of the oath ho was about to take. "Boy," ho said, with his bovercst and most magisterial manner, "do you feel snre yon could identify me after six months? Now, bo caicfnl. Think before you speak." "Well, yonr honor," replied tho boy after a prolonged survey of tho judge's portly iigttro and rugged features, "I suit sou-, but I think I could ir you isn't to comb your hair."

The question is ofton raised whether they aro qnicfefinough to dodgo a bullet onco had a gmtlo who drew a distinc tion qnito too fine, as I thought. Ho claimed that a loon could seo tho flash of a percussion cap at tho breech of n muz zlo loading piece and conld dodge, but admitted that, with tho rifle loaded like all modern one, nt tho breech, no loon could tscapo n 8hct rightly aimed. For my part, I do not believe tho interval of timq between the fire at tho two ends of tho barrel to bo meosnrablo by eyos of birds or men or anything short of rt chronograph. As to tho question, however, it is possiblo to reason with tolerable confi dence. Wo know tho spicd of a rifle bullet. Call it 1,400 foot a second. Im agino yonr loon at that distanco or nearer. Then reflect how slowly n bird's head must movo to nso up nioro than a second in dropping n few inches under water. Gravity alouo would carry it farther than that. It is easy to believe that if tho wary bird happous to bo look ing toward tho hunter the rifle flash suggests danger. A hnlf second would give amplo timo to dodge, provided the action began promptly. It is safo to way that it takes a loon's weight in lead to kill himt and wo may call it sottled that, if n loon docs not dodgo a bullet, at least tho lead goes down in tho same hole in tho water.
