A NEWSPAPER whose columns over
flow with advertisements of business
men, has more influence in calling at
tention and building up city or town
than any other agency that can be en-
ployed. People go where there is bust
ness. Capital and labor will locate
where there is an enterprising COM
munity. No power is as strong to
build up town as a newspaper prop
erly patronized. 1t always returns
more than it receives.-Neola Reporter.

REJoIOE!

We can rejoice that our American
honor is to be sustained Its glory
has been inclined to fade from the
impetus given it by Nellie Grant
Sartoris, Princess Colona or Eveline
de Craps, and others, but a light
again CLEANS in the horizon, The
Prince Of Isenburg- Birstein, eldest
son of Prince Charles of Isenburo
Birstein and Archduchess Marie
Louise, of Austria, and cousin Of the
emperor OF Austria has come wander
ing across the ocean. He exhibited
his pedigree. Miss Florence Pull
man saw it and thought 1t was about
her size. She showed her bank book
and me noble prince thinks it is
plethoric enough to balance his titles
SO they are engaged Miss Pull
mans father only consented to his
daughters farming herself out to the
prince on condition that the children
shall possess the full rights of success
sion to the title, dignity and heredi-
tary privileges of the house of
lsenburg- Birstein. According to
Austrian law, however, the magnates
of the house lsenburg- Birsten must,
by formal document, recognize the
equality of Pullman's grandchildren
with their own descendants. So
there is our national blood rejuvinat-
ed. When the blue blooded lady
brings forth q young Isenburg- Bir-
stein, grandaddy Pullman can hold
his high priced grandson on his knee
and think Of cutie, dignity and her
editary privileges until wads of sat

SAMPLE OF HONESTY.

In these days when times are
hard, and can be used as lever.
and the men engaged in different in
dustries are meeting with long faces
and cutting down wages and asking
the public to believe in all serious
ness that total saving of couple
of hundred dollars wages in a year
means the life of their business of
several thousand, it comes like a
breath from higher sphere to read
the following beautiful bit of honesty
springing from an honest human
and published in Oregon papers;
To hop raisers of Oregon:
have seen no account of the hop grow
ers meeting at Eugene last Saturday, but
have been Informed that the growers
present agreed TO establish the price for
picking at % cents for 7-bushel boxes and
30 cents for 0-bushe boxes. think they
have made great mistake and showed a
disposition to take an unfair advantage of
labor simply because times are hard.
Many people are nearly compelled to pick
hops in order TO lay in their winter sup
plies Last year we got is cents for our
hops and year before Is and 20 cents. vet
we only paid 40 and so cents for picking.
labor did not complain but picked our
hops and growers made money Now,
because the price is not likely to be over
10 or IL cents it seems that growers want
TO beat the pickers out of three-eighths of
their wages, Is this right? Ii so then
trusts and combines are right. for one

will pay 40 cents for 7-bushel boxes
same as last year. And il | can get 10
cents for my hops, can clear more mon
ey on 10 acres of land than any farmer in
Lane county can on 100 acres of wheat
TINS year. hope that every hop picker
IN Lane county will absolutely refuse To
pick hops for less than 40 cents for 7
bushels and 80 cents for 0-bushel boxes.
we can afford to pay it, even if hops are
only 10 cents, better than women and
children can afford to pick for 25 and 30
cents. Let us live and let live.

1t shows that so much cutting of
wages is unnecessary, that it is a sell
fish act on the part of the employers

A POPULAR CRAZE.

The Klamath Star has something
to say about this craze to get the
earth, the whole earth and nothing
less than the earth, which goes under
the guise of 'ambition
'Iron Duke, sparkling writer on
the Yrek,l Journal, heard q populist
speaker in Yreka last week, and judg
ing by the glitter of the literary efrer-
vescence he unbolted over that ''pop"
spokesman; we conclude that the
Duke is just splendid. The populist
orator holds that no man should be
allowed by law to accumulate over
SIS, 600, while the Duke maintains that
such a law would destroy the ambition
to get rich. Oh Duke 1t is this con-
founded ambition to get rich that is
responsible for the rapid growth of the
plutocratc tribe whose schemes have
knocked us poor devils into cooked
hats and bull breeches / tell YOU
this desire of distinction above others
in scheming to get our dollars without
labor has became rather inordinate.
This COMPOUNDED upstart passion is
no longer limited to getting enough
money to keep several dozen poor re-
lations fretting for life. 1t has at last
become an insane desire to copper the
earth and play the moon to win And
so you are afraid of harm to this am
bition-this craze to get poor toiling
humanity's bottom dolar-this un-
holy desire to sit proudly at the head
of the worlds table while hungry hui
manity squats on its heels waiting for
the crumbs God speed the justice
that will eventually deal out about five
thousand dollars to every man who
has toiled faithfully from youth to
old age, and abou five thousand lashes
to every loafer who puts a senatorial
scoop euto the worlds sugar BOWL

Hops need be only ten cents to make
one acre worth as much as ten acres
of wheat at present prices. But
right now baled hops lying at the
Weiser depot would bring fourteen
cents, and last year they would have
brought sixteen and eighteen cents,
and there is no doubt that they will

MAIL KICK.

The recent changes in the Salmon River
mail route are humbug, IA fraud, a de-
fusion aud snare. Mail to and from
Warrens has to 20 through Boise and
Washington counties and takes two or
three weeks Just who is responsible for
the change nobody knows, but it is work
ing great hardship upon the people of
Warrens and upon the business interests
of Grangevile Doug Holton had n petit
ton to restore the old route and schedule
drafted while attending the convention
last week and is now getting subscribers
to it.-ldaho Free Press.
We judge from the above that the
mail from Warrens direct to Grange
vile has been discontinued and that
all mail matter must come out to the
Meadows and 90 down the Little Sal
mon again to Grangeville. If such is
the case, the Free Press cannot be too
strong in its condemnation. The
mail line from the Meadows down the
Little Salmon is needed and is a good
thing, but there is no reason for dis
continuance of the Warrens- Grange
Vile line. 1t is strange that the de-
partment cannot improve in one di-
rection without falling down in an
other Weiser used to have to com
municate with Warrens by way of
Pendleton, Walla Walla and Grange
vile, and we know how it goes, and
if the Grangeville mail to Warrens
must now come to the Meadows and
from there in, they are entitled, to
unlimited kick.
