See It Dodge !

By spilling whole lot Of words, the
Reporter, as was expected, seeks to
side-track the point at issue-namely,
that the delinquent tax roll which it
Published was badly padded piece of
work, which will cost the county more
than it should pay for the same, This
fact is not removed, even If The LEADER
has received more for publishing the
list than the Reporter bid for the work.
What The LEADER has received has
nothing to do with the case. The
County Court probably supposed the
Reporter would publish the list in the
customary style or it would have EN-.
bodied that point in the contract. The
LEADER can take the list published by
the Reporter and put 1t in two-thirds of
the space-and then not condense it as
much as is customary. There is no
reason why the Reporter should get eX-
cited over our remarks about the dead
property contained in the roll We
have not accused it Of being responsible
therefor, neither do we blame it for
publishing the same. The numerous
fits which the Reporter is throwing are
evidently done to attract attention
from Its padding job-which is up to
the County Court. The question is
will the County Court, which was try
ing to economize,, permit itself to be
buncoed by an old Typographical trick
and pay for lot of unnecessary space
That's all.

Oregon Development League.
R. A. ARNOLD, Secretary.

The Oregon Development League will
hold convention in Portland, Tuesday
and Wednesday, April 4 and 5.
There are now flfty-one regularly or
gauized bodies holding membership in
the Oregon Development League, and
this makes it the largest and best or
ganized state body in the Union-there
is no other state organization in the
United States which can compare with
it in completeness of representation.
The following towns, embracing every
section OF Oregon, are represented in
the State League by local organizations;
Albany, Arlington, Ashland, Astoria,
Baker City, Burns, Condor, Corvallis,
Cottage Grove, Dallas, Drain, Echo,
Elgin, Enterprise, Estacada, Eugene,
Fairview, Forest Grove, Grants Pass,
Harrisburg, Heppner, Hillsboro, Hood
River. Huntington, Independence, lone,
lrrigon, Jefferson, Joseph, Junction
City, Klamath Falls, La Grande, Leb-
anon, Marshtield, McMinnville, Med
ford, Myrtle Creek, Newberg, North
Bend, North Yamhill, Oakland, Ontario,
Oregon City, Pendleton, Portland,
Prineville, Roseburg, Salem, The Dalles,
Union and Vale.
The general officers are as follows:
President, E, L, Smith, Hood River;
Secretary and Treasurer, Tom Richard
son, Portland; Vice Presidents, f. j.
Blakeley, Roseburg; A. Bennett, Irri.
gon; F. w. Waters, Salem; j. II. Ait
kin, Huntingdon; 10. A. Bowlby, AS
toria.
A reception will be rendered the
, League by the Portland Commercial
Club. The railroad rates for the occa-
sion will be announced later.
The active officers OF the League are
determined that this gathering shall
result in a plan being decided upon
that will insure all the different inter-
ests OF Oregon being so represented on
the grounds of the Lewis and Clark
Exposition as to enable every visitor to
get reliable data regarding any portion
of this state upon any subject. Home
seekers are now visiting every part of
Oregon and there will be many thou
sands coming here during the Fair who
will desire to investigate the different
sections of the state, and it is the pur-
pose of the League to be of assistance
to such homeseekers
A complete program is being arranged
and will be given out later. A dollar
dinner given by the members of the
League has been discussed, but is not
yet definitely decided upon.
THE LEADER suggests that the Lin
coin County Board OF Trade take steps
to have this county represented in the
League

That Cheese Factory.

R. Robinson, manager of the Robin
son Cheese Company OF Tillamook, has
been in Toledo and vicinity since
Wednesday evening in the interest OF
the cheese factory, Which has recently
been mentioned in these columns
Mr.. Robinson reports that he is meet
ing with much encouragement, and at
this writing believes the factory is as
sured. If he is hot disappointed, the
plant will probably be ready for busi-
ness about April |.
Mr.. Robinson visited Elk City and
Morrison yesterday, accompanied by
the following citizens: 9. II. Gardner,
Otto Krogstad, George Hall, George
McCaulou, r. A. Arnold, Joe Hill,
William Crawford and [. b. McJunkin.
The latter conveyed the party in his
launch. 1t was a beautiful day-even
trihe warm. Joe Hill informs The
LEADER that mineral water was in sea
son, but that the supply was rather
short, and Mr.. Gardner kindly gave the
greater part OF his share to members OF
the party who apparently needed it
worse than he did.
To return to the subject, Mr.. Robin
son informs The LEADER that he al
ready has market in the valley fol-
more cheese than he can manufacture
and that the product of the Toledo
plant, should it materialize, will be
shipped out over the G. & l..
a good thing. Push it along!

Once More.

To use another "stereotyped express
sion," which seems to be so very often
sive to one Mr.. ''Watchman," who
spilled all over the Newport News again
last week, The LEADER will state that
an honest and reputable citizen can
well afford to break into print over his
own signature; dishonest and disrep.
utable citizen might do so, but what he
might say would have no effect.
There is not a citizen of Toledo who
does not desire that only good may
come to Newport. 1t is the most at
tractive spot in the county and natur-
ally the finest resort on the Pacific
coast. Every citizen of the county is
interested in its welfare-unless it be
some sneaking resident OF Newport who
is constantly striving to create strife
and dissension between citizens of that
place and other points in the county.
If Newport is handicapped in any man.
ner, it is by its alleged newspaper and
narrow-minded contributors like this
self-constituted" "Watchman." 1t would
be stroke of enterprise if the honest
and progressive citizens OF the Resort
City would get together and muzzle the
handicap.

WilfuIlY Dense.

In speaking of the garden seeds sent
to it for distribution by Senator
Mitchell, THE LEADER noted the fact
that several requests for seeds came
from persons who are not subscribers.
While the seeds lasted every request
was honored, regardless of whether the
person was a subscriber or not. The
point which we wished to make clear is
that great many citizens of the county
read The LEADER whose names are not
on the subscription list. Our critic in
the Newport News was evidently not
only willing but anxious to mlsunder-
stand our remarks relative to the
matter.

The Fair.

Valuable features of Lincoln couuty's
exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Fair
will be specimens of our excellent
sand stone and granite, wool, mohair,
honey and several kinds OF wood. Ar
raugements are being made 10 have all
these articles prepared for the exhibit,
aud there is no doubt that when the
big Fair opens Lincoln county will be
in it. The perishable products, such as
fruits, vegetables, fish, shellflsh, ETC.,
will receive attention when the time
comes. Many citizens of the county
are taking a commendable interest in
the exhibit aud success is assured.
Suggestions and assistance Of amy kind
will be appreciated by the committee.

quent, its supplements must always remain more
or less incomplete for the language keeps on
growing and expanding and responding to the
unexpected needs of those who use it, even while
the most recent supplement is getting itself into
print. And there is need also to emphasize the
fact that the language has grown and expanded 50
abllndantlv that no dctionary-maker has ever
dared to attempt to include all the words within
his reach. The special vocabular1es OF the several
arts and sciences are enormously distended and
only the more important words of these special
vocabularies can be included even in the dictionaries
which are planned to extend to several volumes
The special terms of the electrician-suCh
Live wire" and third rail" and separately
cited booster are recorded only in part even in
the lexicons of that science The special terms of
the stage and the theater We're carefully collected
q score of wears ago by couple OF experts for
of the foremost of American dictionaries; and they
proved TO be so many that only the most significant
and the most likely to be sought for inserted
These theatrical terms We're not evanescent slang;
they were the technical words used with absolute
exactness by the thousands of men and women
connected with the stage. Some OF them were
known also to the theater-go1ng public, such as
.box-office" and ''return-checI" 'act-drop' and
"stage-hands" -; but many mOre-suCh as sky
borders" and "cut-wing" "bunch-lights' and
..star-trap ''ralling-piece" and "bilboard-tcket
would probably not convey any clear and definite
idea to the most of those who throng into the
theater.
1t is from these special vocabularies that the
language is constantly enlarged and enriched.
From these special vocabulares familiar only to
the practitioner Of the several arts certain words
and terms and phrases are snatched up and enter
into general use. For season they may be looked
upon as intruders. little better than slang; and
not few of them fail to establish themselves in
time unable to make good a right Of domicile in
the select lexicon OF literary usage But some OF
them persist and justify their claims to acceptance
even by scholars Nothing more clearly indicates
the taste and the tact OF an author than the way
in which he deals with these novel locutlons, some
of them barbaric and to be rejected without

no commission to do more than declare what he
has ascertained to the structure and the con-

changing history which he has undertaken TO eX-
plain 1t is as a record of facts and of tendencies
that a grammar is valuable and its value is dinin-
ished in proportion the grammarlan mistakes
his office and risks himself in dogmatic judgments.
And as a grammar has no authority in itself, SO
also dictionary has no authority of its own. Its
value lies in the accuracy with which it has re-
corded the facts. As a president of the Modern
Language Association stated it plainly few years

Language was spoken long before 1t was written;
and the spoken tongue loses something of its vvaclty
and even of its vitality when at last it IS written
down when 1t Is prepared to make its appeal to the
eve rather than to the ear. There IS freshness
about the spoken word which the written word,
and more especially the printed word, has often
lost This freshness the real masters Of speech are
forever striving to recapture; and their writings are
direct and vigorous and inviting in proportion as
they succeed in this endeavor. 1t was Lowell.
scholar Of the widest reading and most adroit
vielder Of literary allusion and illustration, who
once told friend frankly that Boys and black
guards have always been my masters in language.
Most of us have failed to lay firm hold OF this
principle. that the spoken word IS primary and
that the written word IS secondary only. Failing
to grasp it. we fail TO see its consequences; and we
are likely to fall into the common error of accepting
grammar as a code Of rules which must be obeyed
and we are prone to hold mp a dictionary as final
authority TO settle all questions Of usage and or
