1t is said that the East Oregon Rail
way company will commence prelimi-
nary survey in the near future. The
company was organized some months
ago at Pendleton, for the purpose of
building a railroad to the Butter creek

district, the main line to lead from
Heppner to the coal mines, thence to
Alba, and thence to the Greenhorn,
branch to be built from Pendleton to the
coal mines.

Mr.. Ward McCallister is quarreling

THE COUNTY SUPELNTENDENTS
ALONE RESPONSIBLE.

In the report of the teachers institute
furnished us yesterday by one of the at
tendants we are assured wrong has
been unintentionally done to a promi-
nent state official who has long been
identified with the educational interests
of Oregon. The opinion expressed must
be understood to be only that of the cor
respondent. 1t is intimated that the
official referred to is responsible for hav-
ing foisted on the teachers of the state
an antiquated and worthless series. of
text books which years ago had been
kicked out, of all the eastern schools.
Whatever may be the character of the
text books we are assured that the
county superintendents alone must be
held responsible for their introduction
into the schools eff Oregon. As we un-
derstand it a majority vote of the county
superintendents decides what text books
shall be adopted, and in this vote the
state superintendent has no part. Ger
tain it is, we have a vivid recollection
that before the last vote was taken on
on the text book question, certain
smooth -tongued agents were sent among
the superintendents and if they did not
influence their votes, it was not because
they were not plentifully supplied with
taffy and cigars and perhaps something
still more potent.

water In ta.e Blbls.

The question Of water goes back much
further than we. stop to think. For ex-
ample, we are told IN the book nk Joshna
that when Caieb's daughter Achsah
was given to General Othneil in con-
sideration Of his capture OF the city Of
Debir, and the matter Of her dowry was
being discussed, she said to her father:
''Thou hast given me south land; giye
me also springs Of water" She under
stood that the tract sloping southwark
toward the deserts Of Arabia was noun
famous, swept by hot winds and deficient
in rain supply. So she wanted besides .
piece Of land well watered and fertile,
that it might be proftably cultivated.
Caleb was so well pleased with the vic
tory won for him by Othneil that he
could deny the bride nothing. '.And he
gave her." the record adds, ..the upper
springs and the neither springs"
than she had asked, as fathers are apt to
do with daughters whom they rear and
love, only to lose when the inevitable
bridegroom comes--St- Louis Globe
Democrat.

To us, in these later times, and with
all the sentiments of Christian civiliza-
ton fostered in US, it is almost incom-
prehensible that any grown human being
could have the heart to extinguish the
first struggling life of babies; most of all
does it seem incomprehensible that the
mother, whose nature is wont to well up
and flow out at the first helpless cry of
her infant, and the father, whose instinct
is to hover over and protect and ''fend
for" both mother and child in their weak
ness, could ever surrender, or with their
own hands destroy, the creature whom
they have brought into the world. But,
strong as are the natural instincts,
stronger still is many religious fanati-
cism, stronger is national or tribal tra-
dition.
And when we consider that it has taken
ages of Christian culture and feeling to
bring US to our present height of imagin-
ative sympathy with all forms of life,
till now we are agreed that no more
beautiful, sacred or divine sight is to be
seen under the sun than that of mother
with child in her arms, then we can
understand that, while it is an outrage,
a sin and crime to destroy a child
among the taught of Christendom, it is
but hideous barbarism among the un-
instructed of heathendom. Strand Maga.

Reading the Human Face.

Every one knows that mems passions,
propensities and peculiarities as well as
their callings are reflected in their faces,
but it Is only the few who have made
the study of physiognomy an especial
pursuit who are gifted with the power
of reading those faces. Judges who have
served long terms on the bench, lawyers
in large practice and doctors of emil
nence possess the power of interpreting
physiognomies more largely than other
people, but any one can acquire the
rudiments Of the art by dint of hard
study.
1t is as impossible to disguise a face
(without putting on a mask) as it is to
disguise ones handwriting. When the
expert comes the disguise is torn off and
the face tells the true story of the spirit
inside the body. One only needs to visit
the penitentiary to realize how undenia-
bly, vice writes its sigr manual upon the
features. It is not the drunkard only
whose red nose, habby cheeks and
watery eyes betray him; it is the sensual
ist whose vice is read in his lips, the
knave whose propensity is revealed. by
the shape Of his mouth, and the man OF
violence who has been betrayed by his
eyes. >.
An experienced detective or a trained
jailer seldom asks the crime of which q
prisoner is guilty; he can tell it on the
criminals face. In short, all the advan-
tages which Fowler told us we were go
ing to derive from the study of phrenolo-
gy we may possibly gain from the older
and more mysterious science of face

GOVERNMENT SUCCESS AT RAIN
MAKING.

Uncle Jerry Rusk has the knack of
succeeding pretty generally with every
thing he takes in hand. The expert
ments of his department in forcing rain
from the clouds have proved remarkably
successful. These results have given to
an arid region in Texas, fully twenty
fiue miles square, heavy rain fall,
which secures winter grass for stock and
avoids the, serious distress that few
weeks more of. dry weather would have
brought. Twice during eight days the
experimenters produced heavy rain, be-
sides several light showers. fThe first
heavy explosion brought dow drench-
ing shower. This. was followed by
smaller explosions which were kept up
regularly for week and resulted in a
succession of gentle showers. Then one
evening, as light clouds. were floating
overhead, heavy charges were exploded
with the result that in forty seconds
from the explosion a drenching shower
was falling. Everything so far has been
satisfactory. 1t is more than possible,
it is within the limits of reasonable
probability that before many years, the
government will have established at Inn
portant points in Eastern Oregon, rain
producing stations, where, at fitting in.
tefvals; bombs will be exploded in the
air and system ofirrigation established,
cheaper perhaps than any other, taking
everything into account, and certainly
better than any other because it is in
line with natures own system. What a
variety of new conditions such proba-
bility suggests: Instead of appealing TO
heaven, in the good old fashioned way, as
contemporary remarks, the farmers sof
Eastern Oregon and Washington will
present a petition to the commander of
the rain rain producing station and he
In turn will order a detachment of artil-
lery to lombard the clouds.
