Mr. Koosevelt, when he is editor,
will no doubt, evolve many a hot
naraber. He has given the newspaper
gossips who have been fixing up his
future for him for the past four years
ever since he stated what he WOULD
N'T be? something of a surprise.
About the only thing from mayor of
New York to college president that he
ha* not been ass gned to by some one
of them wu tbat of editor. And that
one thing he has chosen, Mr. Bryan
will be sure to declare he is following
in his foot steps again. Mr. Bryan has
male a big fortune out of the business.
Perhaps Mr. Kjosevelt thinks It time
he himself was making some money.
He would certainly be worth a lot to
any publisher. Wonder how much the
mere statement of the signing of that
contract for a future performance has
added to the circulation of the outlook?

Henry I weed who was required to re
sign from the head of the exploitation
department of the A. V. P. exposition
tilled the same office 'or the Portland
exposition. He was a one-time news
paper man of Portland and for years
held the important office of C'tv editor
of the Oregon ian. The trouble has
been brewing for a long time ? Reed
being charged with trying to "run the
whole show." However, these are
things about which judgments cannot
be formed at this distance and there
are probably two sides of the story.
This much is certain, even at this dis
tance however, that there are SOME
things in connection with the show that
need tixin'.
The big enterprises that are reported
day by day and of which we have before
known little or nothing ana which
are well ucder way and upon which
arge sums of money have been ex
pended arc but another expression of the
vast extent of the country in which wt
live as well ds oi i:s va?t richness and
untold possibilities. Enterprises the
like of which elsewhere would be h.-r
alded over the land and attract uni
versal attention go forward here with
out so much as making themselves
known to their next neighbor? a few
thousand miles away.
If there really IS a trust formed of
the steamship companifs operating in
tnese northern waters the fact will let
ic a flood of light upon the hitherto
impenetrable mystery of the bunching
of steamers at the wharf in thii city
upon certain days, with gaps between
where tho people cry for a sail in vain.
Competing companies that refuse to
compete will ever remain beyond th"
average comprehension but that a trust
shall play the game to sjit itself alone
Is a thing that comes easily within the
most simple understanding.
The cloud burst season is holding
over lest the bewildered and beplagued
'"States" might not yet have had
enough. The emthquake /.one it is to
be noted, has extended to Manila.
There seems to be no doubt that this
f?r northern cjuntrv is the only one.
Mr. Taft's voice may be etviog out
but that of Mr. Roosevelt thunders on
forever.
THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
tVK :ir? glad we're Independent!
* We arc glad that we are Tree!
Freedom's sun now shines resplendent
O'er a country good to see.
We rejoice In flag's possession.
Let us answer to us call.

Come, ye Uttle girls and boys.
Turn our gladness Into noise!
VVE'VE been sometimes discontented:
? * Scandals worry us a bit;
Satan has new Ilea Invented.
For he has a wicked wit;
Politicians mako confession
When they must? 'tis bitter gall.
Let the children give expression
To the thoughts that stir us all.
Come, ye little girls und boys.
Turn our discontent to noise!

The high water mark of the social

which was a reception tendered to Mr.
Peter Henning on the completion tf the
government road to Wells.
Society was out "en masse:" Mrs.
Mary Ashamed-of-her face, acted as
hostess ana did the honors in a charm
ing manner.
After the usual formalities were over,
the guests adjourned to the pavilion
where dancing and small talk were en
gaged in till the ,'wee sma' hours."
The hall was artistically decorated, a
beautiful effect being produced by
hanging Hooligan-old lamps from be
tween tho festoons of dog salmon.
Mrs. Blue Mud's gown was the sensa
tion of the evening, it coosisted of a
canary colored waist exceedingly decol
lete, a green skirt und pink satin slip
pers. the whole costume beautifully
draped with a red blanket.
The guest of honor, Mr. Henniog,
was dressed In the latest approved
fashion, a blue shirt, overalls, lumber
jack boon and three weeks growth of
whiskers.
At 11:30 a sumptuous repast was
served consisting of smoked salmon,
seaweed and cranberry jelly.
The music was furnished by Professor
Noisy Boy's orchestra which is com
posed of a harmonica, a jews-harp and
a tom-tom.
At precisely 1-, midnight, the guest
of honor was serenaded by the Kluck
wan Choral club, composed of the most
aristocratic dogs in Kluckwan.
At a late hour the guests took their
departure, each and everyone declaring
they hail hail the best time of their
liv?9.

I5c ei:tly a chauflfeur. who was ac- ?
iiinilKin'eil by a groom carrying under j
"ils arm a bundle of papers, stopped j
bis automobile opposite the mysterious
'louse, tbe doors of which were closed. !
Tbe car had apparently broken down. !
Tbe chauffeur and the groom, who
were actually police agents in disguise. !
left their machine and knocked at the
door to ask for a pair of pliers. The
door was opeued by a woman, who,
suspecting nothing, was going In ]
search of the desired implement when
the two men held her hack, en
tered the house unci shut the door in
her fare.
Strange and terrible was the aspect
of the interior. The walls were hung
with mysterious symbols, human
skulls und crossed boues, bottles, large
and small; swords of strange shapes,
heads of dogs, eats and other animals
and, in fact, all the traditional imple
ments of mediaeval witchcraft.
A thorough search was made, and
several books were found containing
a quantity of various invocations to
the evil one. The sorceress, a woman
fifty years of age, who possesses vast
property, purchased with the money
she had wheedled from her credulous
clients, was arrested and carried away
in the motor car. Her trial will give
rise to some interesting revelations
with regard to the dark doings of
witchcraft in Perugia.
