The temrer-and likewise the tex
ture-of the assembly developed when
Wallace MoCammant proposed the
name Of Willis Duniway for sta te
printer. Duniway is direct primary
man. and McCammant explained that
the state printer doubted the wisdom
of the assembly, having been elected
20 his position at the last election
through the direct primary and not
convention. Then the assembly got
busy and turned down the best state
printer the state Of Oregon has ever
had by giving the nomination to W. j.
Clark of Gervais, who presumably is
not a primary man and who does be-
lieve in convention nominations. 1t
matters little to Duniway, however,
for the primaries will give him a
handsome majority on the merit of
his splendid record made while in
office.

The first all steel train that ever
moved over roadbed in the North
west pulled out of Seattle on July 20
over the Oregon and Washington line
for Portland. The steel train marked
an epoch in northwest railroading,
being made up of the most modern
equipment used anywhere in the world.
The day when old half worn out
coaches from the eastern lines can be
sent west for use in their old age has
passed. The railroads are now pro-
viding the most luxurious service they
can provide and the trains operating
between Seattle and Portland will
compare favorably with those between
Chicago and st. Louis, or any other
eastern points. The steel coaches
built for the o. g. w. will not splin-
ter, telescope or burn in case of acci-
dent, and are easily the finest railroad
equipment ever seen in the Northwest.

Despite what efforts the state au-
thorities have been allie to put forth
with the limited means at their COM
mand, the worst forest fires since 1909
have been raging in various parts of
the northwest, during the past two
weeks. Twelve lives were lost in
two days during the worst of the fires
according to newspaper dispatches
from val ious points and the property
loss will m cunt into hundreds of thou
sands, possibly millions. The dry sea-
son this year began early and has been
very pronounced. Also there has been
the usual carelessness of leaving camp
fires, and in one case a settler deliber-
ately set fire to slashing at a time of
year when it was almost certain to
start fire that might cost many lives

The origin of the word bull as the
definition of a confused utterance is
doubtful. Some philologists say it
comes from the French boule-"fraud'
and others that it is derived from
the Icelandic bull-"nonsense." Many
definitions have been attempted, but
the best probably is that of Sydney
Smith. Writing of the difference be"
tween wit and bulls" he says: "Wit
discovers real relations that are appar-
ent; bulls admit apparent relations
that are not real. The stronger the
apparent connection and the more com.
plete the real disconnection Of the
ideas the greater the surprise and the
better the BULL"

CARPET ECONOMY.

When choosing a carpet, if you
have to study economy, select one
with a small pattern and of light
color. The small pattern cuts to a
greater advantage, for there is less
waste in matching the design, as the
breadths are sewn together, and
when the wool begins to wear the
light color will not contrast so pain
fully against the string foundation as
It would if it were many shades dar-
ker in tone. There will be also
economy in time in the lighter, well
covered carpet. Every thread and
speck of dust will not show on it as
in the heavy reds and blues.
