A SATYR's SONG.

The high life, the fly life, oh, that's the life for me, Amid the never-ending whirl is where I'd like to be. Where every form of earthly woe is speedily forgot And all the spectre, haunting shapes or worldly cares are not! No frowning face can enter there, no sorrow can parade, Frivolity Is queen of all and so her laws are made. What tho the laughs be hollow and the smiles are falser yet, In the high life and the fly life It IS easy to forget! It is astonishing how much money a man can spend that he may possess "a rag, bone and a hank O hair"

that one of the smallest of little things

1t is not fair or just that Lincoln county

there is where it gets good share OF it's

Commissioner Ballinger of the Gen.

lid off" and give Oregon square deal
in the matter of homesteads and timber
lands. There's grain of comfort in
this bit of news. The policy of Secre.
tary Hitchcock was loaded with in.
justice, and hundreds of honest settlers
were made to suffer with a corporal's
guard who violated the law as construed
by Hitchcock. Lincoln county will
appreciate its share of the promised
square deal.
