TIME TO QUIT POOLING THE PEo'
Pile

The fact that there is demand
for 80 many boats shows that the
traffic tributary to The willamette
river is rapidly growing, and is 20"
assuming such proportions as to de-
mand an open river the entire year
| To secure il every town in the Will
lamette valley, through their boards
of trade should make a united effort
TO secure more liberal appropriations
from the general government.-O Ore-
gon City Enterprise.
Boards of Trade can do but little.
The question of opening the river
must be made an issue in politics
and the people must know who is IN
earnest in this matter. Empty res
olutions, idle talk of public men Id
Oregon or Washington will never
open the river. Our public men
must be made to realize that a dilly-
daily policy continued will be re-
garded as treachery to the masses
The Willamette river is the freight
equalizer of Salem and the whole
Willamette and tributary valleys
The railroad corporations make ad-
ditional millions whenever it goes
low enough so that few bars make
navigation impossible. 1t is the
duty of a government of the people
to keep the river open. If it does
not keep it open it is a government
for the plutocrats and not for the
people. 1t is time to make an issue
of this and ascertain what it is, and
let the producer and consumer adj
Just himself accordingly.
The East Oregonian says on the
subject of rivers:
"An open river to the sea is what
the people of Eastern Washington,
Eastern Oregon and Idaho mostly |
are in search of. Byproper work on
the part of the people, aided by the
press, this open river can be secured.
We suggest that the legislature of
Oregon and Idaho give
the money they expect to appropri-
ate for the Worlds fair toward secur-
ing an open river to the sea. This
would be eXpending the peoples
money for the sole benefit of the
people. We ask that the press of |
this section keep the matter before
.he people, and we ask our associates
N other parts of the state and the
to reinforce us in our
work. The Oregonian can help us
much. Will it see to it that every
lay in its editorial columns an open
liver is demanded If it will the
people, in time, will rise up and call
t blessed" D."
The Portland Oregonian must
stand in with Jay Gould's great rail
road combine, and it is to the inter
,st Of that monopoly to drive every
BOAT Off the rivers that command
he ocean shipping. 1t is too much
o ask that it take the side of the
people when Jay Gould is in the field.

The three great religion of China are
C~onfucianism, Buddhism md Taouism.
The bulk of the people are Buddhists
rather than Confu, i%anists, and there are
millions of infidels. The tomb of Con-
fucius is at Mecca, for many of the Chi
nese, and they make p~ilgrimages to it.
Confucianism is more a philosophy than
a religion. 1t contains many of the beau
ties which we suppose to be exclusively
the properties of Christianity. The
golden rule in a negative form was an
inundated by Confucius, and as a system
of morality it is beautiful. The Taou.sts
have more superstitions than the Con-
f~ucianists. They began about the same
time as C%onfucius, their preacher being
one Laou-Tsze.
The state religion, in connection with
which all these religions come in, is the
worship of the emperor, who is the son
of heaven and the prophet, priest and
king of the people, He worships for
them in the temples at Pekin. When
the great Temple of Heaven was burned
down Il shudder ran down the 300 ,O00, 900
of the great Chinese nation. It was
thought that this was a warning from
heaven that the emperor should be de-
posed.-Frank g. Carpenter in National
Tribune.

A winter in the South-the very words
c%oujure up delicious memories for those
who have been there. The bright sunny
skies, the dry bracing air and the warm
sunshine is in decided contrast to the
cold, bleak North.
The great state OF Texas is celebrated
as one great broad winter resort in itself,
but the following places are, perhaps,
particularly popular: Fort Worth. with
its mineral baths, healthful climate and
good hotels: Austin. the beautiful capitol
city; San Antonio, one of the few really
historical places in our country; Houston,
with Its blooming roses, oleanders and
groves of oranges and lemons. and Gal
weston with its delicious sea breezes.
These are but a few of the delightful
resorts of this highly favored region.
An escape from all the pains and dis
comforts of our rigorous weather, trans
ported by magic from the region of snow
and ice to the fragrance of this summer
land, is now made possible and easy by
the Denver, Texas & Fort Worth branch
of the Union Pacific system. which runs
through Pullman palace sleepers be-
tween Denver, Fort Worth, Dallas Shreve-

Where Women Do the Drinking.

Lenz says the women in Morocco are uni
v~ersally addicted to the practice. The
merchants make a brandy for which theii
customers are almost exclusively Moorish
women. While the men are strict prohi,
b%itionists, the women drink brandy in
large quantities. Women who came 10

every traveller who stops ut n Paris
lodging house" laughed a woman the
other day, has a candle story, and here
is mine: We We're served with two
candles every morning, which we never
half used up; these would be taken out,
however, and fresh ones appear in their
places. Knowing that we were being
charged for every candle we determined
at least to enjoy added illumination, and
my husband looked around for a place to
hide them during the daily doing up of
the apartment. On the top shelf of a
cabinet arrangement in a corner stood a
large Japanese vase, wide and deep. Up
to this Mr.. - climbed, to discover that
we had been forestalled, for in its "a
cious hollow we found seventeen can
dies, every one burned down perhaps an
inch.
''Some former lodger had resented
the candle swindle like ourselves, and
had put his daily allowance where it
would do the proprietor no good. That
night n brilliant illumination of nineteen
candles, each set in its own grease on
the marble top table, gave us something
like light. During our stay we hid and
accumulated candles, so that we had
always enough to read by, and when we
left we deposited our livestock in the
vase for the benefit of some searching
