Sea Lion Hunters
Make Large Kills

Marshlield, Ore.-Seafaring men
coming up from the coast from the
Curry county district tell of good sea
lion hunting this summer, and de-
clare the kill should be up to the
average of other years. Two reefs
along the southern Oregon coast are
being searched for the lions, one off
Rogue River, the other at Port Or
ford.
William Hunter, who goes out
from Rogue River, took with him
on a recent trip r. l.. Macleay and
State Game Warden Carl d. Shoe
maker. On the trip Hunter killed
seventy-five lions. George Forty
and sons, Loren and Robert Forty,
are killing their lions on the Port
oxford rocks, and are also reported
to have found good hunting to date.
The business of hunting sea lions
has been conducted in that section
for a number of years. and returns
are always sufficient to well reim-
burse the hunters. There are many
elements of danger connected with
the pursuit, for the rocks are slip
perry and frequently boats which are
left at the water mooring are loosed
and the hunters are marooned
Sometimes boats cannot approach
the reefs, particularly when high
winds are blowing and kicking up a
rough sea.
There are many portions of the
lions which are salable, the princi-
pal one being the hides. The skin
on the lions is very thick and some
times one hide will weigh 400
pounds when green" The hides
are valuable for mill and other ma
chinery betting. Skinning the ami
mails quickly so that there will be no
losses is the feat hunters must look
after promptly, and an expert can
take the hide from even the largest
lion in few minutes.
If there were facilities for saving
the blubber or fat, the hunters
would make several times the
amount brought by the other parts
of the lions, but some of the kills
weigh more than a ton, and to
transport them to a reducing sta
tion on shore would be a greater
task than can be handled in the
small boats used by the hunters.

Exchange Expressions.
Another Platitude.
Bowman Farmers Leader)

The old gang politician is floundering in a
sea Of torment and doubt. He has played his
last big card, the loyalty yelp," and now the
last groans Of the withered carcass are to be
waited to the voters through a different chan
mel. The old gang being so tremendously
showed under in the primaries, attribute that
set back to the fact that they could not make
their propaganda reach. the farmers. They
have a very good (?) platform, but they can
not bring it before the people as the farmers
refuse to read gang newspapers. So they have
seized upon q perfectly wonderful idea as to
how they can deliver their messages to the.
voter: they are going to begin the publication
Of a brand new daily which is not black-balled
and kline of come up gently with their riff-raf
and ease it into the farmers. Sort of a sugar
coated pill c~ontraption 'doncha knaw." The
gang are backing their all on this one big move,
as they claim to have the money to pay the sub
scriptions of every farmer in the state. Wont
that be nice farmers? all that nice slippery
"hog wash" every day and it wont cost you a
cent. All that is asked Of you is to swallow the
swill and lick your chops.
Here is the proposition that you offer you
farmers. They will send you the daily lick
spittle, and you will be influenced by it, they
forsake the League ticket this fall and throw
your vote to the wolves of big Biz which
really means throwing yourselves and your
families to the wolves. They will trade you the
paper for two years of tyrannical and oppres-
sive political domination. Do you not think
that is a fair trade?. If you were all profiteers
and wished to make your living off the sweat
Of other mems toll that proposition would
sound good to you undoubtedly. But you are
not so well hooked up as that. You are not the
fprofteers but the fellows who do the heavy.
There will be nothing in the new daily for the
farmer who values his economic welfare, let us
tell you that. There is a ball and chain tied to
every issue of it and you will do we'll to show
this gang outfit that you resent the insult to
your intelligence, of having this scurrile "slave
driver" come to your home, by refusing to take
it from the postoffice. Turn the id rag down
cold, and then get out and take your neighbor
subscription for the Farmers Leader, and show
these tallow Drained money-changers that. you
have been duped for the last time by oily
tongued politicians.

Cause Of Fear.
(narsl1AA Iseader3

A confidential letter has been unearthed in
the files Of the Chicago packers, that speaks Of
the Nonpartisan League and fear Of the organ
~ization's aims. An examination Of the letter
files Of either Big Business corporations would
doubtless disclose the same fear Of the League.
that in turn accounts for the opposition Of ali
the ~lickspittle Minneapolis and st. Paul dailieg,
including three or four Of our own state dali

efecting national legislation, which in turn
would mean 4 deeper. probing into the special
privileges Big Business is jealous over-there
is the rub! All the clamor and fuss over the
League is due to the concern Of Big Business
that the League may gain q foothold III the
United States senate and house of representa-
tives. Big Business would be perfectly salts
fled ~ have thu League control any state 81 the

are desperately afraid of the League. Not
that the League c~ontemplates injury or injus-
tice to these interests beyond a square deal to
them and the public, but because a square deal
is not what they are looking for-.special privi-
lece is what they want and strive for unceasing-
". And that is why the rank and file Of the
people of this and all other states should be
Nonpartisan Leaguers in effect, not necessar-
lily as members Of the organization, but stand
for the course of action the League contem-
plates-the abolishing Of special privilege in
any and all forms.

of the publisher is to print the news con-
corning peoples wrong doings. That may
appear almost incredible to the reading
public but it is a fact, just the same. It
is the good that mel and women do that we
like to publish, and not the evil they do.
Although the evil doings make more spicy
reading matter and are received with more
apparent relish by those who delight in the
sensational side Of human life, we always
try to put ourself in the other fellows
place.
There are very few households but that
have their family skeleton very few
homes where misfortunes Of some kline or
other have not caused heartaches and hui
initiation. It is not becoming, therefore,
for n person to gloat over the misfor-
tunes of another person, or laugh in deri-
sion when the shadows Of scandal hang
like a pail over the other fellows home. It
would be pleasing to us if there were a law
prohibiting the details of scandal Of any
sort whatsoever from appearing in the pub
lie prints. But it would seem that the vel
fare of society demands that such things
should be published, and we cannot have
our way as long as such is the the case.
There are very few days of the week
when some one does not call up and request
that this, that and the other thing shall
be kept out of the paper. Reference is had,
of course, to matters affecting the morals
of people and there is only one answer that
we can give, which is: I'VE cannot make
fish Of one and flesh of the other That is
to signify that if we keep one Of
tenders name out Of the paper, we must
keep the other offenders name out of the
paper, and vice versa. Furthermore, if we
kept all of their names out of the paper,
the whole community would be ton our
back figuratively speaking, because the
community is not so charitable as may
seem upon the.surface.
Now, there is only one way by which you
can keep the names of offenders against
the laws of the commonwealth out of the
newspaper, and that is to turn their foot
steps into the paths which lead to right
eousness and not to the police court. When
ever a man or woman is so unfortunate as
to get his or her name onto the police blot
ter, the newspapers duty to the public is to
publish the facts, no matter whether the
offender be high or low, rich or poor, learn
ed or unlearned. So it is a waste of time
and energy to give the editor curtain lee
lures over the phone simply because he has
performed a duty that is everything but
pleasant to him."

Making Goats of Business Men.
Devils Lake J~ournal.)

15The Minneapolis grain autocracy and allied
interests "down below" can well afford to fl
nance the campaign to be made this fall to
crush the organization Of farmers which was
formed for the avowed purpose Of protecting
their pockets from the pilfering grain sharks
and thieves. And how perfectly beautiful the
scheme Of asking the business men of the
towns in the state to contribute to the fund on
a $3.50 basis. This clever scheme was con-
ceived in order to take the curse off the grain
plunderers and place it upon the business men
of the towns. In other words it is the plumber
bund to make the business men the goat in the
campaign. The business men are to pushed
into the fight, just as the people of Germany
are being pushed to the front by the kaiser who
claims to be fighting for a place in the sun,
for in fact he is fighting for world domination
of all people for his own selfish and greedy
purposes. This is the source of all the class
and distrust which is being cultivated to array
business men against the farmers.
The bushes men ought not to allow them
selves to be used for such a purpose. The grain
thieves should be forced to come out in the open
and show their hands. Of course, business men
should be able to detect the scheme in the at
titude Of the Twin City newspapers which have
been taking such a suspiciously great interest
in the farmers movement, and have worked
with such concerted effort to crush it.
But business men have little time to study
political affairs. Contrary to general opinion,
they. are not, as a rule, nearly SO well informed
politically, as the farmers, who, while working
longer hours, find time in their daily walks be-
hind the ploW'to give a little freedom to their
minds.
The time is coming when the business man
will join hands with the farmer. AS the mill
ing trust SO well says, why Not Now

the misfortune of some man or woman in The

the news of the day he is often called unon to
print things he would much prefer not to. Here

little item blew into the newspapers-due large
~ to the fact that certain newspapers relegat-
ed it to the back column Of the back pages.
One paragraph reads:
The exclusive Minnesota club fashionable
resort of st. Pauls millionaires and near
mllionaires, has been entered by federal
authorities, and over 1000 pounds of sugar
stored there has been confiscated.
In st. Paul, within sight of the st. Paul Dis

live by exploiting the farmers of the Dakotas:

couth hay-seeds of the northwest are fed 100

llys are invited when they go to the cities to re-
ceive their orders for the conduct Of North Da-
kota politics.; the dome under which the charc-
es OF disloyalty against the farmers organize
ton is conceived and hatched-raided by the

Says aDivine" Was Drunk.
(stutsman County Press.

How q man stands among his fellows is a
pretty sound criterion as to his actual worth.
The "Reverend" Maxwell has little backing
among the men who have been prominently
identified with the Nonpartisan League. In
regard to him the Fargo Courier-News said
recently editorially:
Maxwell, for instance, cites N. S. Randall,
who has been with the League for some time,
as one Of his sympathizers and the st. Paul
Dispatch and a number Of North Dakota papers
are publishing broadcast the falsehood that
Randall with others, are working for the dis
ruption of the League by putting it in the
hands Of men who would be dominated by en-
emies Of the members. Just to illustrate how
strong Mr.. Randall is for REV" Maxwell here
are a few statements from a letter Mr.. Randall
wrote since Maxwell sold out to the enemy:
t'Of all the men connected with the
League I have had less regard for Max
we'll than any and in fact | have always
felt suspicious of him since you asked me
to take him out for a ride when he was
drunk, so as to get him out of sight of the
people of the office. i
..>.... am writing this as the. result of
reading what appeared on the front page
of the st. Paul Dispatch. The great stress
the Dispatch puts upon the "Rev." proceed
ing the name of Maxwell, makes me sick"
It is because so much emphasis has been laid
upon the Reverend" end Of Maxwell that the
above excerpts are dignifed with publication.
Effort is being made to have special signifi-
canoe attached to what Maxwell says because of
the respectful audience conceded to be due a
real minister of the Gospel.

With this issue the undersigned sewers his
connection with The Courant. Although the ar
rangements whereby he became the. business
manager of the paper was designed to be OF a
temporary nature he has remained in that ca
pacity for the past eight months, and now that
the most pleasant relations which has existed
during that time between himself and it's pub
fishers, no less than the principal business men
of Bottineau must, owing to unforeseen circum-
stances, be terminated, it is an occasion for con-
siderable regret on his part. AS time is meas
ured eight months is of very brief duration, but
it his case, at least, it has been of more than
sufficient length to amply demonstrate that,
under normal conditions, Bottineau it at least
the equal if not the superior of any town of
double it's size in the entire state, while it's bust
ness men and inhabitants generally, with but
very few exceptions, are rightfully to be classed
among the best people on earth.
