What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, not political satire. It contains multiple product advertisements interspersed with brief humorous pieces typical of Judge magazine's format. The notable content includes: **"Old Mount Hood"** — A travelogue piece about Pacific Northwest geography, discussing Mount Tacoma/Rainier's height and history, with mild satire about British explorers' tendency to rename indigenous landmarks. **"Pougere"** — A playful poem describing a woman's appearance from feet to throat, advertising what appears to be a fragrance or fashion product. **A dialect joke** about a Black man receiving injury compensation, employing the racist humor common to period publications. **Product ads** for Evans' Ale, Lion Brand shirt collars, Sohmer pianos, Williams' Shaving Soap, Club Cocktails, and Dueber-Hampden watches dominate the page. The page reflects early 20th-century advertising aesthetics and the casual racism of the era, but contains no significant political cartooning or satire requiring historical context beyond period attitudes.

OLD MOUNT HOOD. There are no flies at present on this peak. Asa general rule, when you are mosying along | the water-courses of Morrow County, you see only your immediate surroundings—fat stock and luxuriant alfalfa-fields. But whens you travel up onto the higher ridges you get mag- nificent views of both the Blue and Cascade | mountains, and can see six giant peaks which are eternally covered with snow and loom up| nine thousand to fifteen thousand feet bi The loftiest is Mount Tacoma, also called Mount Seattle, Mount Rain-here, and sometimes Snow-here. On government maps it was marked fourteen thousand four hundred and forty-four miles high; but Fred Plummer. Herbert Bashford and Judge J. W. Huggins went hunting goats up there and remeasured it, and found it to be an even fifteen thousand. | Judge Pillowsham of Tacoma has proven by ihe affidavits of all the Puyallup Indians, who have roosted around on the insteps of the great | mountain for seven thonsand years, that its first name was Tacoma, and it would’ never have | been named anything else had not a scow-load of Vancouver's British blue-jacket tenderfeet paddled around Puget Sound a century ago, tacking their names onto everything in sight. They seemed to suppose they were discoverers, although they paddled past Indian graveyards where the marble monuments were so old that they had rotted down.—//eppner (Oregon) Ga- sett.
