we're headed for the camp where the
foreman was made comfortable in
one of the wagons and the injured
leg was set by Barbee, who had stud

AS the wagon was about to draw
out to take him to the ranch house
Brennan called for "Circus."
CPL tell Mollie that you're com

he clasped "Circus' hand. "You've

be proud Of you when she finds out
what you've done-and it won't lose
none in the telling.
He waved his hand in farewell
and "Circus" climbed down from
the wagon with a radiant face. AS
he turned toward his horse, Barbee
rode up.
"Who trained your horse for you ?"
he demanded as "Circus' looked up.
Il trained him myself" was the
reply. 81 used to do a bit of that

"Circus" regarded the knot of blue

ahances on you seeing more of her
than me, Keep me out after the
roundup and III take chances on
Miss Mollie sticking to me. III give
YOU a month to speak first. That's

Brennan nodded. With @Cirous'
silent for a month he could argue his
suit, and with Mrs. Malloy for an
ally he counted on winning long be-
fore the expiration Of the four weeks
Of grace.
1t was near the close of the round
up when Circus" opportunity
came. He and Brennan had ridden
after some of the men who had gone
to drive the cattle from one of the
valleys that broke the side of the
hills. Just as they reached the mouth
of the gulch a bunch of stampedine
cattle burst out of the ravine and
headed straight for the two riders.
They wheeled their horses, but as
they did SO Brennan's mount slipped
and fell, throwing Brennan heavily
against a rock, breaking his leg.
Circus had already turned, but
now he wheeled his horse again, and
leaping from the saddle he caught
up the injured man,
Eve can't make it." groaned Bren-
nan. "Saye yourself, man."
"Lots Of time" declared "Circus"
ch%eerfully, though he had to shout
to be heard above the thunder of
the pounding hoofs. Carefully but
with haste he lifted Brennan to the
saddle and swung himself into the
seat just as the first of the cattle
upon them.
Carefully watching his chances,
"Circus" held in his mount when
there was a chance to drop back
through the bunch of frightened
steers and after what seemed an age
he was riding among the ruck of the
nerd. From every direction the men

MAY PERMIT MILITIA.
Naval Organization Reported on Fa.
vorabIy by Captain.

Salem, Ore.-Praise for the men
composing the Oregon naval militia
and recommendation that the state
do all possible to maintain and de-
velop 1t, are features of the report
OF Captain Ellicott, commanding the
Maryland, TO the secretary of the
navy, with the relation to the recent
cruise of the naval MALTA, and a
copy of which was submitted to Gov
ernor West.
AS the government delayed the dis
bandment of the organization until
the report relative to the conduct of
the militia during the cruise could
be forwarded to the war department,
and has indicated that If it was ia
vorable he might change his mind
1t is possible that the report of the
commanding officer of the Maryland
may influence him against dissolving
the naval militia.
Captain Ellicott, after praising the
men and saying the state should feel
proud of the organization, and rec
ommending that the state support the
naval militia, declares the cruise con-
vinced him of the Importance of sim
liar organizations for national de-
iense. Governor West, when seen in
relation to the matter. was non-com-
initial as to what action would be
taken in relation to the militia. but

that she'll take her other rights

We instance a notable failure OIL

Frisco and Oakland they figure
closer on the uncertain possibilities

lasting gamble in the hymeneal mat
ter.
Well, Miss Clara pronounced EC

We don't know whether Ed

cessor could operate a typewriter
something the older man had never

That man had at least 25 years in
which to learn to operate a type

other manner. A few of them would
have sufficed.

BIGGEST NINE EVER.

Scotty' was a mystery. Every
once in a while he emerged from
Death Valley, in the desert region at
the back of the Sierras, with a bag
of gold. Once he hired a special
train, made a spectacular tour across
the continent and spent money with
the prodigality of a prince in the
metropolitan hotels of the effete east.
All the time "Scotty" refused to
drop the slightest hint about the To-
cation of the fabulous mine. Moth
ing was known except that he disap-
peared in the desert, came back with
his yellow gold, blew himself" for a
riotous good time, then did it all
over again.
At length "Scotty'' was incorpora-
ted, capitalized and put in the mar
ket. He sold like hot cakes. But
luck turned. 'Scotty" received $25,-
600 one day, was sued for DOCTOR
bill of $1,000, couldn't explain what
he had done with his latest roll
(Which he really never got), was
jailed for contempt, and then-the
mine was discovered.
1t was the biggest, deepest. most
inexhaustible mine the world has
ever known-the pocketbook of the
credulous public. "Scotty" had been
the tool of bunch of shrewd pro-
moters, who first exploited him, tnen
sold stock on the strength of his
mystery"
1t is an old saying that Sucker
is born every minute" But that is
back number. We live faster now

ond at least, and occasionally the
sucker trap works overtime.

1873 CONTESTS FILED.
200 Water Users Affected i'm Adiu-
dicatiOn of Rights.

With the close of the period in
which contests might be filed for the
adjudication of the water rights of
all streams in Jackson and Josephine
counties, many salient facts and fig
ures relative to the amount of water
tributary to Rogue river, the amount
of irrigated land in the valley, the
amount of horsepower developed and
the number of bitches in the two
counties, have been compiled by
James 7. Chinook, superintendent
of water division No. /.
approximately 1900 water users
are affected directly in the adjudicat-
ing of the water rights. These rights
are located upon the 315 streams
tributary to Rogue river and to $40
bitches in the two counties. The
water rights extend over the three
branches of water use-irrigation,
mining purposes and power. Irriga-
ton claims 1000 water rights, min
ing 100 water rights and power As
water rights.
In the district there are 81, 900
acres of land under irrigation. At

$4,000 acres, in addition to the 81
600, making total of 170, 900 acres.
In the streams of the district,
which include Rogue river and all
It's tributaries, the figures compiled
by Mr.. Chinook and his assistants
show that there are 225,000 miners
inches, or $500 second feet of water
available for all purposes.
AT the present time there have
been 1873 contests fhed. OF this
number it is estimated that two
thirds will be amicably settled before
the time of hearing, which will begin
IN August. On the cases which come
before Mr.. Chinook, findings will be
made and given to the circuit court
where it will be approved, unless ex-
ceptlons are taken. If exceptions are
taken the circuit court will determine
decree which decree can be ap,
pealed if the defendant wishes to &c
into a higher court.

FOXY GRANDPA.

The Oregonian calls Wilson a
radical progressive" and Taft a
middle of the road progressive .
Therefore, it says, there is no ex-
cuse for a third party" BY this short
cut the Oregonian officially disposes
of Colonel Roosevelt.
1t is no wonder to find, through
the columns of the Oregonian, that
Mr.. Taft is a progressive. The Ore
gonian has always been for Taft. 1t
is progressive just like Taft, that
being not progressive at all The
trouble with lot of the metropoli-
tan newspapers is they are not hon
est. The Oregonian knows full well
that the great issue before the Amer
ican people today is whether the gov
ernment shall be controlled by the
people or by predatory power. 1t
knows that the republican conven-
tion at Chicago was dominated abso-
lutely by political bosses in the inter-
est of big business-that the people
lost in the fight for control-and
that control was gained against the
people by the crookedest methods
ever applied in a political conven-
ton. That convention was purely
reactionary; there was nothing pro-
gressive about it-nor is there any
thing progressive about its candi-
date. Mr.. Wilson is distinctly a pro-
gressive and the democratic conven-
tion was dominated by the. progress
sive spirit. If the necessity for Mr..
Roosevelt is eliminated, it is because
the people are satisfied with the nom
ination of Mr.. Wilson and with the
platform upon which he stands, and
not because they view Mr.. Taft as a
middle of the road progressive.
There is one thing quite sure. The
American people have been fooled
long enough. The metropolitan
newspapers nave been large fac
tor in fooling them and they now
are aware of it. 1t will take more
now than the statement of the Ore
gonian that Mr.. Taft is "a middle
of-the-road progressive" to convince
them that Mr. Taft in any sense rep
resents the true interests of the gov.
erned. Whether Mr.. Roosevelt is
nominated or not, Mr.. Taft will fal
short of one-third of the republican
votes of the nation. The people are
determined on the issue of the peo
pies rule, and they will no longer
allow party fealty to stand in the
way of it. If Mr.. Roosevelt is no
candidate they will support Mr.
Wilson.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1912-07-11

The paramount issue before the
American people in this national
campaign is whether the govern
mental agents shall be controlled by
the people or by predatory wealth
big business-then follows the re-
vision of the tariff and trust control.
If the first is lost there is little hope
that either of the. others will be set
tied in the interest of the people.
Mark this: The history of the world
does not disclose a single instance
where the abusers have corrected an
abuse. Before the abuses are cor
rected the government must be rid
of the abusers.
