He KICKED IN THE WRONG PLACE.

He KICKED IN THE WRONG PLACE.
An amusing story is told of scene
in a logging-camp bunk house, at
Wallowa, in Southern Oregon. II
seems that a logger named Lively
had left door ajar on entering the
domitory, and a cougar happening
alonga short time afterward, seen ted
the hot air which brought to mind
how the low temperature had been
making him fairly howl during the
prevailing cold spell. Whether this
was the impelling-cause or not, he en-
tered the building and found a nice,
coy resting-place on the foot of the
logger's bed. 1t may have been his
weight that awakened the sleeper,
but sure it is that he adjusted Wig
orous kick to the interloper, think
ing it was one of the camp-dogs.
The cougar met kick with kick, and
threw in some promiscuous scratch
ing for good measure, and for time it
seemed to be a fight for points, when
the wild animal discovering the open
door bolted through it and climbed
to the top of the building, whence he
was dislodged by the aroused camp
with firearms. He made good his
escape, however, with only triAing
wounds.

A MACHINE has been invented and
tested in Minnesota which husks ten
acres OF corn per day, and the three
horses which haul it practically do
the work. 1t is said that inventors
have been trying for thirty years to
construct a corn-husking machine,
for it is believed that the demand
will be as great as for self-binders.
Last season the farmers had difficulty
to find men to husk their corn, and
as high as 10 cents o bushel was paid
in South Dakota. One man can only
pick and husk about an acre and a
half day.

A Bio JOB OF CONvEYANcE OF LAND.
The two Governors of the Choctaw
and Chickasaw nations, Chiefs Nc
Curtain and Johnson, have so large a
job on hand that they will scarcely
be able to observe the amenities his
tory records as being so essential be-
tween executives of States. The
chief of the Indian nation is its exec
utive officer, in the matter of grant
ing deeds. He must sign the paper
that divests the nation of title to the
land and places it in the individual
Indian. Each deed will have to be
signed by the both Governors of the
respective nations, because the two
nations own the land jointly and
there are two deeds to each allot-
ment, one for surplus land and the
other for homestead. so in fact each
Governor has to sign two deeds for
every allotment, conveying in the
aggregate II, 200, 600 acres, in tracts
of 800 acres each, or by nearly 20,
600 separate cOnveyances.

1" Catch the IdeaP'

1t is now quite plain just what the
local Republican boss, ex-senator
Ruth. had in mind when he admit
ting that the direct primary was
calculated to promote rule of the big
bosses over the smaller counties,
when he shook his left optic with
the assurance that he would take his
chances" under it for riding on the
party wave-crest. 1t now turns out
that a movement has started in the
larger counties to place him on the
State ticket for Lieutenant Cover
nor, at the next State election. II
this be true, it will account for many
things that were done under the In
surgents dictatorial policy that piled
up five million dollars in appropria-
tions for the next two years details
of State government, including sal
airy raises and other prominent bale
full burdens upon a tax ridden COM
munity.
This announcement will doubtless
be news to even some of his party as
sociates, but we get it from good
authority, and it seems to fit like cog
in the machines work of the last Leg
islature, as well as perfectly line
with the methods of this political
connubiator, who appears ever ready
for an alliance that promises results
from the ordinary season of gesta-
ton. 1t seems to matter little to
him whether these results are good
or bad, commendable or reprehensi-
BILE, so long as they rebound to the
profit of the boss.
He knew or cared little for the eff
fects of the direct primary, just as
did nine-tenths Of the legislative as
sembly, but voted for it under the
sting of the party lash, and for safety
to his own tough epidermis, climbed
into the tail-end of the band-wagon
with the declaration he would take
his chance" in the next deal of the
cards, after they had been carefully
shuffled by the expert dealer in the
game.
Now watch the play!

American Marksmanship Will Tell

The Oregonian alludes in very
optomistic way to the danger which
Hudson Maxim thinks might result
from japanese invasion. 1t assumes
that his judgment is based upon the
idea this country could make no bet
ter defense than did China, when the
same nation met with an easy vic
tory, nor as did the Spanish govern
ment of the Philippines when Dewey
sailed in over the submarine mines
on that pleasant May-day morning.
1t says: His picture of q possible
landing of Japanese soldiers in Cali
fornia assumes that entrance to San
Francisco Bay would be as easy as
the running of the defenses OF Manila
Bay by Dewey. We are not Span
iards nor Filipinos. While our guns
might not stand off a japanese fleet,
the planting of few mines in Coast
harbOrs would make the Dewey coup
a trifle difficult of repetition in this
country. If Mr.. Maxim thinks the
American people would take to the
woods at the first warning of the ap-
proach of hostile feet, he is lacking
in his knowledge of history. He
has been studying powder too much
and men too little. When the in
vading army comes we'll be there,
and don't you forget it, Mr.. Maxim. -
And by the way it is just announced
that Maxim has invented detonat-
ing fuse that, after the shell has
penetrated any thickness of armor,
will explode by it at the exact spot
where it will do the most good, "
which is in this instance sending the
assailing warshlp to the bottom of
the sea. 1t does seem that Provi-
dence is on our side, when fortunate

LONG Branch, q seashore "play-
ground" near Los Angeles, Cal, il
is announced, is to have women pa
trolmen during the coming summer,
by suggestion of the w. c. T. U.
The idea is to have them patrol the
beach, piers and auditorium, after
dark, perhaps half dozen of them,
and it is believed the cause of moral
ity will be greatly aided and many
evils of the past season remedied.
Members of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union will doubtless be
selected, and they will wear ordinary
police stars and will have full police
powers. The question of arming
them has not been determined. Con-
ditions at Long Beach were such last
season that the city's name suffered
greatly and no measure adopted
seemed to avail of better things.

on train at Santa Barbara after
wards, but further than that he had
not been seen anywhere. Hotel rec

his disappearance was a preconcerted

are not aware of it and are greatly
worried. AS yet no announcement
of his discovery has been made.

disparagc any well-directed effort for
the advancement of local interests,
nor is it intended in this cursory
glance at recent action OF our
Chamber of Commerce in sending a

Mai. Chittenden, of the Z. S. Engi-
necrS, regarding the opening of a
ships canal from Budd' Inlet, the

project that has the slightest chance
to live. or even secure a survey, for
Major c.. as was expected by most
of our people, announced his disap-
proval of the proposition and his in
tention of making an unfavorable re-
port. He held that the project was
infeasible, and practically without
hope for future prospects. He de-
clared that il would take more time
for shipping to pass through the
series of locks that would be neces-
Sary than to proceed around as now
by Cape Flattery; that it would re-
quire twenty locks, ten on each side
of Black Lake-one to the mile-cost-
ing upwards of $40, 0O0,0 900, and fur
thermorc there was not water enough
in the lake and the entire coast
watershed to operate the locks, and
that it would be necessary to bring
water from the Cascades how
that was to be done he did not pre-
tend to explain. The inference was
about as clear as the means employed
by the Professor at LagadO for ex-
tracing sunbeams from cucumbers,
or for calcining ice into gunpowder.
Besides, he stated, the cost of $50, :
OOO, 900 would be sufficient to improve
the Columbia river from mouth to
source and complete every harbor
improvement in the State. Since
money was needed for these improve
ments, he did not favor proceeding
farther with a survey for the canal.
1t is better, however, to regard this
disappointment with cheerfulness,
and to unite our people on some of
the many feasible projects constantly
presented. 1t is better to exhibit
the sang.froM of the French King, ex-
hibited once on time, told in this
philosophical stanza:
The King of France marched up the hill,
With twenty thousand men;
And after looking around presum-
ably, as did our committee, we are
told:
"The King Of France came down the hill,
And ns'er went up again."
The experience carries its lesson.
Let US have fairness maintained in
all our dealings, and eliminate all
suspicion of graft. Let us take up
such enterprises as are practical and
push them forward to completion.
Let us do our thinking in the head
and not the pocket-book. Let us
work for ourselves through the COM
munity, and not through our own
unaided efforts. Beware of the dis
position for talking that ends in talk,
and when a. movement developes the
fact that selfish object has prompt
ed pretended enthusiasm, let the fact
be exposed.

soon have q comfortable home in its
