The elk and the reindeer are flrst class

BATTLE FIELD TACTICS.

Operations Involved In Consolidating .
Position.
In military reports and accounts of
battles one often comes across the
phrase consolidating a position" with
out knowing Just what 1t means.
Consolidating a position means to
80 prepare it that 1t win offer the
maximum resistance to an attack on
the part Of the enemy and the maxi
mum protection to the troops hold
ing It
Where trenches have been captured
the first thing to be done is to make
them face the opposite way from that
In which they have faced. This Is
done by building loopholes and over
head covers on the side exposed to the
enemy, which, Of course, prior to the
capture was the rear of the trench.
When trenches have been partially
destroyed by shell fire or mine eXplo-
sions and then captured they have to
be rebuilt facing the enemy. As no
communicating trenches exist leading
from the captured trench to the one
the attackers came from, they have
to be built connecting with this main
position in such a way as to prevent
the enemy from taking 1t in the flank.
All this work and any other which
may be done to strengthen the cap
tors hold is meant when a report
speaks Of consolidating a position

A Vicious Measure

Just about the time the wave of gen.
eral prosperity began to extend to the
Pacific coast the Peoples Land and
Loan measure was launched.
1t provides on the Single Tax theory
for the confiscation of all land rents
for public revenues and proposes to
loan a large part of the loot without
interest.
1t is gotten up with great ability and
many cunning devices to catch the
simple minded and the socialistically
inclined and lift them up by the boot
straps.
There have always been people in
the world who believed they could lift
themselves by their own bootstraps but
these social uplift laws propose to do it
for them.
In the meantime, while this revolu-
tionary experiment is pending. every
body waits to see what will be done by
the voters next November before back
ing his judgment on Oregon.
Until the system by which any little
handful of theorists can force in the
ballot any visionary scheme has been
abolished there will be no normal and
rational development in Oregon.
The Single Tax has been voted down
three or four times but gentlemen with
a mania for experimenting continue to
tie up the future of the state with
Henry Georgeism.
The Peoples Land and Loan bill will
be voted down, but the "Oregon sys-
tenn" is expensive and too much open

Winninu n Reputation,

An amusing story of how he won the
title Of being the champion cocoanut
shier among the clergy is told by the
bishop of Chelmsford.
He informed gathering Of clergy
men, says the London Globe, that
when vicar Of Bethnal Green he took a
party Of workingmen to Epping forest
and was there challenged to have
shy at the cocoanuts.
He accepted and, paying his sixpence.
was given seven balls. Then some
thing happened which would not hap
pen again were be to live to be as old
as Methuselah. With those seven balls
he knocked off seven cocoanuts. He
has lived on the reputation of that feat
ever since, and when any one asked
him to have cocoanut shy he said,
"You 60 and knock seven Off with
seven balls and then l will speak to

The City Schools

The city schools will open September
Is. The high school principal and su-
perintendent will be in their Offices in
the high school building every day of
next week. Every high school student
is requested to come during the week
and register for his or her classes. 1t
is important to the student to do this
as the schedule of classes will be made
at the end of the week before school
opens and the needs of the students
who fail to register cannot be consid-
cred in the making of the program.
The superintendent also wishes to
meet during the week all pupils who
will be in the grades above the first and
did not attend the city schools last
yeai. Examinations for those condi.
toned in the grades will be given Fri
day morning. Sept. Is, at $50 o'clock,
