Quoted by Dean Beecher Of Omaha, who
was a personal friend Of many members
of the organization.
Buffalo Bill has a soft spot in his heart
for Columbus and the men who assisted in

prosperity he stops long enough to pay a
tribute of respect to the old time plains
men of his pioneer days in Nebraska.

THE JOY OF 4 COLD.

is that a man with cold in the head
feels himself to be superior sort Of
being to the man with no cold. You
must have observed for yourself that
this is the case. Take, indeed, your
own cold. You refer to It, thirty or
forty times a day, as my cold" You
feel quite sure that everybody you
meet will know that you have cold,
and that everybody will be Interested
in its progress. You will find yourself

In a special story from the Milton

relative to that sections advancement

which a few years ago was nearly
valueless is now worth from 5000 to
$1,000 per acre. This condition has
come about because the people in
that section have stopped ranching
and have begun farming.
other sections of the county also
show great progress. The west end
is now being converted from a desert
into the richest kind of land. Land

This county is just on the eve of de-
velopment. Its greatest growth is
yet to come.
Yet while this county itself offers
the finest kind of opportunities for
investment there are people who rush
away to Canada and there buy raw
land at fancy prices and in doing so
tie themselves up for years to the
Canadian Pacific railroad company.
There Is no reason on earth why
local people should rush into Canada
like sheep. There are all kinds OF
good investments right at hand. Then
patriotism should have some hold up
on them. These people made their
money in this country. They should
invest it here and by doing so help
build up this country. Don't desert
your country, your own people and
your flag for a land that does not be-

STEEL CUT BY AIR

Diamond cut diamond" but steel
is cut with air. The new and ingen-
ious method of rapidly cutting through
iron or steel plate is based upon the
fact that when iron at high temper
ature is acted upon by a fine jet of
oxygen the resulting iron oxide is more
fusible than the iron itself. and. pass
ing away, exposes a fresh surface of
the metal to the attack of the gas. so
that a cut is produced along the
line of action.
In the early attempts to utilize this
method in practice the metal was first
heated to the required temperature in
an oxyhydrogen flame and then sub
jected to the action of the oxygen jet.
Now, however. the heating and
oxidation are done at the same time,
and the resulting cut is much sharper.
With regard to the effect Of the
oxygen upon the metal adjoining the

The oregonian - still living in the
age when Portland regarded all 9TH
er towns Of the state as its enemies.
II believes now that Portland should
steal everything it can from the rest
of the state. This winter it has
worked hard to tear down the normal
schools so that they might be made
into one institution for the benefit of
Portland.
Is it possible that the oregon!an's
attitude reflects the sentiment of
Portland? During the past few years
we have been told many times that
Portland had given up its old policy
and is now anxious to develop the
state. But the Oregonian's attitude
indicates this is not true. 1t indi-
Gates Portland is still out with big
mitt and will fight every appropria-
ton that does not go into the same.
Is this the Portland spirit? If so
= is well that the rest of the state
should find it out If Portland is to
align itself against the rest of the
state, then the state should act ac-
cordingly. The towns of eastern
Oregon and of southern oregon
should stop doing business with Port
land. They should patronize the job
bing houses of san Francisco, Seattle
and of the east. Then as quickly as
possible they should cut Oregon up
into three states, making one out of
eastern oregon and another out of
southern Oregon, leaving Portland
and the Willamette slough for the
third. If Portland wants to live for
itself alone, let it live alone.
