Several stories are told Of Tenny-
sons thoughtless speeches. "What
fish is this2" he once asked his hostess
where he was dining. whiting" she
replied. 1.-THE meanest fish there is"
he remarked, quite unconscious that he
could have wounded any ones feel
ings.
Yet his kindness of heart was such
that when his partridge was afterward
given him almost raw he ate steadily
through It for fear his hostess might
be vexed.
On one occasion Tennyson was very
rude to Mrs. Brotherton, n neighbor at
Freshwater. The next day he came to
her house with q great cabbage under

VOTE DOWN COUNTY
DIVISION SCHEMES
Details Involved in Formation
of New Counties Unknown
to Voters.

Voters cannot inform themselves on
the many local details involved and
accordingly it will be their general
decision to vote mo" on the entire
list. This is the opinion of the Morn.
ing Oregonian in its issue of June 2,
as follows:
Mine county division schemes are
bidding for enactment under the init
iative, in imitation of Hood River
county's success two years ago, and
the end is not yet. Here is direct leg
islation gone to seed and disseminat-
ing trouble through the fair expanse
of Oregon.
--latest is Deschutes county, pre-
senting a petition to the secretary of
state and asking to be carved out OF
the northwest part of Crook county.
Umpqua, Williams and Nesmith, with
overlapping boundaries, seek indie
pendence from Lane and Douglas
counties. Umatilla county is wrest
ling with the ambitious schemes OF
Orchard and Hudson. Clark desires
separation from Grant, Otis from NAL
heur and Harvey. A strip Of Clack-
amas seeks annexation to Multnomah
Politicians, office-seekers and ambi
tious little towns are putting up these
county partition schemes. More
counties will provide additional Of
ficial places and other patronage
They will also make higher taxes and
more trouble for property owners.
1t is reaching a point in Oregon
where the electorate will feel obliged
to vote uniformly against all these
lew counties, The voters cannot inr
form themselves on the many local
details involved, in order to legslate,
therefore they are likely to take the
view that their safest action will be
that of voting mo" on the whole

Oregonian Comment.

The Oregonian comments gain on
the scheme in it's issue of June 28:
"a tenth scheme for county divis-
ion appeared for initiative enactment
next November--annexatio of a piece
Of Washington county to Multnomah.
These county questions are proper
subjects for legislative attention where
they can be studied on their merits
and be amended and adjusted to suit
local needs. The great trouble with
the initiative measures is that each
and all Of them emanate from a spec
ial interest. No element should ever
be allowed ito frame laws regardless
Of other elements of the population.
Yet that is what they undertake to do
when they refuse to take their bills
before the Legislature and insist on
enacting them by the direct method.
Lawmaking is one Of the oldest OF
the affairs of men and ages of exper-
ience have proved the superiority of
legislation by delegates instead of by
the mass. Delegated, representative
government is the most triumphant
lesson of history"

Captain Hofr, of the Norwegian

getting something Of immediate and
practical benefit out Of the soldiers
during the training season. For .
great many years past the soldiers
have been made to dig trenches al

the trenches were finished they had
to be filled up again. Not trace :.

of the men. Near the Gardermoen
drill grounds there is much low land
that is Sc! wet as to be almost worth.
less. Why not let the soldiers die
trenches that will drain some of this
land? He decided to make an expert
ment. On June ninth he took 160
young recruits to low, soggy pine
grove near Jesseim station, staked
out a trench that would drain the
forest, and put the men to work. The
men were divided into three distinct
crews, and every man was supplied
with spade. In order to make the
work seem almost as easy as play,
each crew was ordered to work about
Is minutes and rest twice as long tc
give the other crews a chance. Soon
the dirt flew as it never did under
the old plan. Four and half hours
later the ditch was finished, and 9
solid bridge had been built across it
Large volumes of water rushed thru
the ditch and the men were highly
delighted. There was a general feel
ing that a new and valuable discovery
had been made.

Washington, July 26.-Loud protest
having been voiced here against what
was rumored to be wholesale vivisec-
ton of dogs by the department of agri-
culture, the animals secured from the
district pound, Acting Secretary Hays
declared that the dogs we're to be ex-
perimented on in the effort to find
remedy for the disease among sheep
known as "gid" and the dogs would
come out of the experiments ''in bet
ter health than before they went in"
1t has been found beyond question,
he said, that sheep contract the dis
ease from dogs or wolves, a parasite
being the cause of infection. In this
country the disease is prevalent so far
as is known in Montana only, although
it has existed for many years in
Europe and elsewhere outside of the
United States. DR.. Hays said he
thought that less than dozen dogs
would be needed in the experiment.
