COMPLIMENTS TO OTIS

Even the most selfish and hard
ened of the interests which have rejoice in
the discontinue of Mr.. Pinchot and of them tries
to disguise its glee, must blushed at the zeal
which caused the Los Angeles Times to bracket the
dismissed forester with Doctor Cook.
The shameessness which could stoop to base
comparison is all that may be expected from the
defamer of Mr. Heney and the defender of the cause
he prosecuted.
INHOSPITABLE LANGUAGE
One more quotation to illustrate the sort Of
wintry and inhospitabe lingo of politics that flies
III a great adjacent commonwealth From the
Oregonan
Those two mugs together Bourne and Chamber
lainpresented in the Oregonian yesterday from the
Detroit Times, made wonderful hit The whole
business at once, open to the glance of the eye Not
to the attention with written argu
ment
Mugsw Good Lord we do not speak of our
senators as if they belonged in the rogues gallery.
WOKE UP THE WRONG DOG
The unhappy plight of those ingenious specula-
tors who bought Spring Valley around AZ in the
hope of selling to the city for than 90 and
making a handsome turn inside of three months
recalls the story of the two little boys who were
pulling heavy load up the hill but gave out at
about half way. One of them knelt down and
prayed:
20 Lord send us nice big dog to pull this
load up the hill for us
On the. instant great bulldog with open jaws
and threatening teeth sprang upon them.
But. Q Lord they screamed in chorus wild
mot bulldog
STILL the bulldog has troubles OF his own.
COUNSELOR DAMS LANGUAGE
Counselor Cleve Dam writes me that did grave
injustice to his of style by attrbutng to him
the expression, This is elemental" | rejoice to
correct my mistake, because who under
takes with light heart to teach elementary law
to one of the greatest lawyers in the United States
and the president Of the San Francisco bar assoca
ton should, at least, be equipped with an under
standing Of the words he uses. | suppose the
wicked printer is to blame, as usual
A SISKIYOU PROPHET
The Doris Booster from its mountain height
INDUCES noble invocation of the yet unborn state
OF olsk1you, which it is proposed to carve out of
Tag ends of California and Oregon. Rise up, fair
Doris, exclaims the Booster like blushing bride
OF Butte valley and assert the possibility OF your
becoming the capital of the state of Siskyou."
Then the Booster launches into metaphor of
somewhat confusing sort and explains that with
Doris at the helm Siskiyou would be gem in the
constellation of states" Tfath It's nice derange-
ment of epitaphs that provides gem with helm
and loads the ship with constellation for cargo
Hitch your ship to a star.
Prosperous cities, goes on Mr.. Booster would
spring up on her crystal waters vending their way
from snow capped mountains back to the bosom
OF Mother Ocean. Virgin cities with moral pro-
pensities and no Ruefs. Smiths, Gallaghers and
Calhouns to defle them
DEFAMING THE SMITHS
Virgin cities sprnging like new and unex-
pected Aphrodite of moral propensites from the
foam OF crystal waters and vending their way back
to Mother Ocean would put heather mythology
to shame but who, / ask, these Smiths that
would defle these vagrant but virtuous cities?
