Wyman Wanted to Clean In.

j. T. Wyman has had his first ex-
perience as law-maker, and I don't
know but what he hopes that it will be
his last. Mr.. Wyman did yeoman SER
vice for the lumbermen of the State as
a member of the State legislature, and
If he didn't succeed in getting his log
scaling bill through he made a bold
fight for it, handicapped as he was in
many ways. Although this was Mr..
Wyman's first experience, he could
have been in the legislature before had
he wished it, for he stands in with the
powers that be, and in politics is said
to be able to give pointers to good
many people who think they know
about all there is to politics. I think,
however, that his first, and thus far his
last siege of being a ''legislator'' is
about all he wants of the law-making
business. He is reported with having
told friend the day Of adjournment
that he was going home ''to take a
Turkish bath, and dose of salts and
clean up.''-M5ssissippi Valley Lumber

Another ASinine BRAY.

The report now comes out that the
recent hullabaloo in the last legislature
over the alleged unlawful acts of the
State Auditor in selling pine timber in
the northern part of the State at a pri-
vate sale, was raised for the purpose of
covering up the tracks of something
much bigger than the sale was, even if
it had been unlawful, which the attor-
ney general has declared was not I'M
lawful. The men who were raising all
the dust did it to cover up their own
acts, it is said. They had desired to
secure timber lands under the misrep-
resentation that they did not bear tim
Der, and failed in their endeavor to
cover up such facts as might lead to
disclosure of their methods, raised the
hue and cry against the pine land own
ers and the State Auditor It is not
quite certain but what an investigation
into the sale Of pine lands might be
good thing if it would show up some Of
the practices Of such men as these
