STATE OFFICIALS.
"a GREEK BEARING GIFTS -

The Oregonian bears a strong resem-
blance to the famous Irishman's flea, in
that when you put your finger on it, it is
elsewhere. Yesterday it advocated the
building of portage railways at the Cas-
cades and The Dalles, by both Oregon
and Washington, one building at the
Cascades and the other at The Dalles.
This is perfectly correct, but the trouble
lies in the fact that that paper while pre-
tending to the friendly TO the measure
advocates the one thing which might
kill the Cascade railroad bill. 1t sug
gests that Oregon build the road at The
Dalles, and Washington at the Cascades,
and at the same time says that Washing
ton would not act in the matter for two
years. We believe the state should
build the Cascade road, and we believe
that with this done, the general govern
ment will build the road at this place.
By trying to divert the legislature from
the Cascade road the Oregonidn is doing
us gross injustice, since with the por-
tage built here it would do no good until
the Cascade road is built, and this it is

little suspicious that the Oregonian's s
editorial should be. followed up by the
passage of Senator Raley's bill by the
senate the same afternoon. There can
be but little hope for Raley's bill, which
appropriates $400, 900, when it seems i'm
possible to get the Cascade bill before
the house. 1t seems to be the accepted
plan to pass a bill through one house
and kill it in the other, with the under
standing that the favor is to be recipro-
Gated when required.

A heavy storm followed by exceedingly
cold weather has swept over the middle
northwest, and reports from all sides
show blockaded trains, loss of stock and
such general combination of storm and
Geld that it is dangerous to go out of
doors. The Pacific northwest is pecu-
liarly free from such combinations. Cold
weather we may have for short periods,
but it is generally calm, and the storms
never reach the dignity of blizzard
This winter the ground has not been
white with snow here, and at no time
has the thermometer been any where
near zero. No ice has been formed suffi-
cient for skating, and the hills are
covered with green grass, furnishing
fairly good pasture for stock. When one
compares the climate of the outside
world to that of Oregon the desire to
spend the winter at home becomes sutfi-
ciently strong to be irresistible.

1t is said by an exchange that some
democratic politician grasps at the
Pennoyer boom because, he says that P
is just now the lucky letter and cites the
fact that Pettigrew, Plumb and Paddock
voted against the Mckinley bill, and
that Pfeffer defeated Ingalls,. He might
have carried the argument much further,
Pattison democrat was elected in Penn
sylvania, two P's, Peck was elected gov
ernor of Wisconsin, and Pennoyer, of
Portland, the principal port of the Paci-
fic coast is certainly a winning combina-
tion of the letter ''P." When he is
nominated for president by his party it
viii add two more 'tP's'' to his political
possibilities. Add to all these the gov
ernor's famous epigram "Pay your men,
and we think the Pennoyer pole will
knock the political persimmons, or any
possible combination of 'P's'' that NAV
be paraded against him.

Chicago union laborers are protesting
in strong terms against the employment
of non-union labor on the worlds fair
grounds, and assert that scab laborers as
they call them, shall not under any cir
cumstances be employed. 1t is probable
the union laborers have, in vulgar par
lance bitten off more than they can chew.
1t is possible for skilled labor to combine,
but for unskilled labor to do is one of the
impossibilities. OF course most of the
work is of the skilled variety but the
United States is large and in this work a
strike would not create any public
sympathy, but would create such an
opposition to union labor societies that it
would impede their power, and hinder
their growth for years.

Power of pigeons ON the Wing.

The power of pigeons on the wing is
proverbial All trained birds of this spe-
cies have two qualifications in a marked
degree. The first is speed, the second
long and sustained powers of fight.
This proposition can be amply demon
strated, and the following is one of che
most remarkable records: On Oct. 6.
1850, Sir John Ross dispatched pair of
young pigeons from Assistance Bay, a
little west of Wellington Sound, and on
Oct. IS pigeon made its appearance at
the dovecote in Ayrshire, Scotland,
whence Sir John had the pair taken out.
The distance direct between the two
places is 1000 miles.-Cornhill Maga-
zine.

Friday evening, at the special session
of the senate, Mr.. Fullerton, chairman
of the conference committee on the Aus
tralian ballot bill, reported that the
house and senate members of that COM
lmittee had failed to agree. Senator
Cogswell then moved that the senate
recede from its amendments to that bill,
and in support of that motion began to
impugn the motives of the members of
the committee from the house, but this
was promptly checked by Senator Tongue
who had SO nobly championed the peo-
ple's rights. The motion to recede was
then agreed to unanimously.

Swinburne and Morris each make
81 900 a year by their works. This,
likewise, was the income of Moore, who
is said to have cleared $50, 900 altogether
by his poetry. His "Lalla Rookh"
brought him in e3, 900, which was prob
ably the highest price ever paid to him
for single work. Lord Byron calcu-
lated that he had made e34, 900 by po-
etry. He received more than "a, 900 for
"Childe Harold" e3, 900 for ''Don Jaun"
and sums varying from $500 to 81, 900
for his shorter poems.-London Tt-Bits.

A Note for Cattle Men.

The first cattle that were brought into
the American colonies were landed at the
James River Plantation, in Virginia, in
the year 1907. They came from the
West Indies and were descendants of cat
tie taken to those islands by Columbus
on his second voyage, in 1893. In 1910
several COWS were landed, and in 1911
about hundred head more were brought
to the Plantation. This was the origin
of the cattle business of America. In
order to encourage the cattle industry to
the fullest possible extent an order was
passed forbidding the slaughter of any
animal of the kind under penalty of
death. Under restriction the mum ber
of cattle increased to 10000 in Vir-
ginia alone by the end of the year 1889.
The first cattle brought to New Eng
land arrived at Plymouth in 1924.
They were imported from England by
Gov. Winslow Three heifers and bull
made the party; in color, the old record
says, they were black, black and white,
and brindle. In 1926 twelve COWS were
sent to Cape Ann; in 1929, thirty more.
In 1880 about 100 were imported for the
colony of Massachusetts Bay. During
the years last above named 103 cattle
had been sent from Texel, Holland, into
New York SO that by the year 1880 there
were a good many head of horned cattle
in the colonies From 1851 to 1888 a
large number of cattle for those times
were brought into New Hampshire from
Denmark. These were large yellow
cattle. Taking all of there cattle together
they were the foundation from which all
the common native cattle of our country
have decended.

A prominent physician and old army
surgeon in eastern Iowa, was called away
from home for a few days during his alb

severe cold and his wife bought a bottle
of Chamberlin's Cough Remedy for it..
They were so much pleased that they
afterwards used several bottles at var

able preparation in use for colds and that

Prohibition has broken its record at
Bismarck, North Dakota and for once
prohibits. Saturday the dispatch says
every saloon was closed on account OF a
decision by the supreme court that the
original package law would not protect
them in selling liquor, and that no
attempts will be made to violate the law.
This is the proper way to fight such a
law if it is obnoxious.

An abandoned cistern is often dan
