asked did not Captain Coke tell

"No."
"How odd! That is what he ar
ranged. man came and raped al
my door"
pardon me one moment"
He leaned over the bridge and hailed
the watch. The same hoarse voice
that had reused Iris answered his ques.
tions. and In the faint light that came
from the pinnacle she caught a flicker
Of amusement on his face.
"Our excellent shippers intentions
have been defeated" he said. HE
told one OF the men to call him al
seven bells. but not to wake you until
the cross was visible. His orders have
been obeyed quite literally. He will
be summoned In another hour, and
you have been dragged from bed to
gaze at the false cross, which every
foremast hand persists In regarding us
the real article. The true cross. OF
which Alpha Crucis Is the southern
pole star. comes up over the horizon
an hour after the false one."

the girl and MIN apart had been de
feated by sailors bIunder.

ABUSING THE INITIATIVE.

Initiative for Matters of General
Interest
The initiative privilege Is valua-
Bile right and the people of Oregon are
fotunate in the possession OF the
same 1t is right though that should
be used with discretion If the initia.
tive is invoked indiscriminately II
will be of injury rather than of bene.
fit" says the Pendleton East Ore
gonlan in its issue of July 10.
by the nature of things the initia.
tive should be used for the settlement
of questions that are of general state
interest and questions upon which the
people at large are capable of judg.
ing. 1t was proper that the direct pri-
mary law be enacted under the init
iative. The law could not have been
enacted in any other way. Legisla-
lures elected under the old convention
system would never have passed the
direct primary law. 1t was proper
that the corrupt practices act be en-
acted under the initiative, and refer
endum. That law pertains to political
morality and the people were able to
judge of the merits of the law. 1t Is
all right to settle the normal school
problem under the initiative. The
legislature has Utterly failed to handle
the question.
But the most glaring abuse of the
initiative is on the part of those who
nave proposed county division meas
mres. Eight bills have been filed ask
ing for the creation of new counties
or for the changing Of boundary lines.
In each case the question involved is
OF purely local nature; not of state
.interest. 1t will be impossible for
the people of the state to Judge OF
these measures with intelligence. All
division disputes should have been
held in abeyance pending the passage
of law calling fer the settlement OF
such disputes by the people directly
concerned. The county divisionists.
however. have refused to wait They
have submitted their bills in hopes
the people viii vote blindly for them.
They have abused the initiative priv
ilege and they should be rebuked for
doing so. Every county division bill
should be voted down.
Insist that the initiative be used
only when it may be invoked with
propriety."

everybody has made good use of the
time trying to save their fodder.
We have a good deal OF sickness
In the community, and unless we
have more sunshine and less rain, we
fear that fever will prevail almost
like the forest fires. which are spread
ing death and destruction as they go.
Mr.. c. L. Baker Is quite sick with
fever; we think that he will soon be

which he aspires Is conferred upon
him by the voters OF Sumter county
(Which he richly descrves), we feel
assured that those principles set forth
and advocated by him. will be upheld
and carried out so far as lies I'm his
power. We trust that every voter
will cast one vote for him, who in
return Will ever stand out boldly and
fearlessly for those principles which
will build up the county and bene-
