EDITORIAL NOTES.

Mrs. Cora Thomas, colored lady,
has sued the Baker City Democrat for
$10,0 900 damages to her reputation.
Colored regulations come high in
Baker City.
George T. Angel, editor of "Our
Dumb Animals" says: "We speak for
those that cannot speak for them
selves" 1t strikes us after reading
Georgie's dissertation, that the most
cruel thing that ever happened to the
dumb animals came in the selection of
mouthpiece. And the paper is pub
lished on Milk street, in the literary
north pole of the world, too.
The Pendleton Tribune makes some
rather bitter criticisms of the New
York World, and San Francisco Ex-
aminer. In speaking of the former it
says that it is the only paper that
comes out boldly against the enforce
ment of the Sunday law. Our contem-
porary has evidently not been reading
the New York Sun.
The dispatches announce the sudden
activity of twenty or more volcanoes
in Alaska. This phenomenon is ex-
plainable on the theory that the COM
bination Of the state Democracy of
New York City with DR.. Parkhurst
and the Republican contingent known
as the "Googoos" hasca used an extra
pressure on the surface there that
found vent in the craters Of Alaska.
The great Siberian railroad is being
built with convict labor. 1t is stated
that the convicts working on the road
get double time, and when their sen.
tences expire 6hey will be paid at the
rate of 35 per cent of what free labor
costs. 1t would seem from this that
Russia is not SO severe with her con.
yicts as some OF the overly tender
hearted writer's on that subject would
have US believe.

DENVER BL 80 to-:
First Annual Festival of Mountain and
Plain.

First Annual Festival of Mountain and
DENVER, Oct. 16.-Denver is blaze
of glory today, for the first of the an
nual festivals of mountain and plain,
inaugurated this year. The weather
is glorious and over $4,000 people have
flocked to town from the country dist
riots, taxing the carrying capacity OF
all the Colorado railroads.
The decorations are extensive, the
holiday colors. blue and white, being
seen everywhere. At o'clock this
afternoon the great parade, a pageant
of progress, which illustrated the prog
ress of state, from the time when the
red man roamed over mountain and
plain up to the present, started on its
march. Although there was little
time for preparation, some floats were
very handsome. One of the most mag
nificent features of the festival was a
human flag, composed of 400 children.
The festivities continue three days.

RECOGNITION OF CUBA.
Brazil's Reported Willingness Caui
Some Comment,

Brazil's Reported Willingness Causes
Some Comment.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE cable
report from Buenos Ayres of BraziPs
willingness, under certain circum-
stances, to recognize the Cubans as
belligerents, is causing much comment
in official circles, although cable in
quiries have not yet brought either
confirmation or denial. Under ordi-
nary circumstances, little reliance is
placed in Brazilian reports coming
via Buenos Ayres, but in this case it
is known that extensive agitation in
favor of the insurgents has been going
on recently throughout Brczil. The
Brazilian papers, up to the 2sth ult.,
have been received by officials here,
and show that the press and public
have been beseiging the Brazilian
congress, now in session, to recognize
the Cuban insurgents.

What He Has Accomplished by His Arc

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Professor r. D.
Salisbury, who recently returned from
Greenland with the Peary relief expe-
dition, spoke yesterday, at the univer-
sity of Chicago on ''Peary's Work in
the Arctic Regions"
Professor Salisbury declared that
Lieutenant Peary knows more Of the
Esquimaux, their life, customs and
language than any other man living.
Lieutenant Peary," he said, "was
the first man to attempt extensive
Arctic explorations by meansof over
land travel. He has authentically
established the northern limits of
Greenland, made an accurate chart of
1000 miles of west coast, discovered II
hitherto unknown islands, collected
series of valuable records and obtained
more knowledge of tbe native inhabi-
tants than has. ever before been Sc

THE BOAT RAILWAY.

In the first issue OF this paper under
its present management, it was prom
isedamong other things, that it would
strongly advocate the opening OF the
Columbia, above The Dalles. There
has been more or less feeling in the
country east of .us- that The Dalles
was selfish in its demand for an open
river, and that with the opening OF the
locks and canal at the Cascades, her
interest ceased. This is not true.
Although the locks are not yet COM
pleted, The Dalfes, owing to The sharp
competition of the D. P. & A., boat
line is enjoying reduced freight rates
that are of inestimable value to her.
With the removal of the distractions
between this point and Cello, all of
Eastern Oregon and Washington
would get, as we do, the benefit OF
reduced freight rates. We have not
forgotten that promise but we have
been slow about taking hold of the
matter because we could not deter
mine what means of opening the river
it were best to advocate. We had but
little faith in ship railroad, we re-
alize that the government will not
Under any circumstances build por-
tage railroad, and in view OF the
report of the engineers recommend
ing the boat railway, that canal
seems to be an impossibility. For
these reasons, and for the further
reasons that an appropriation has al
ready been made for boat railway,
and the preliminary survey completed,
we believe that to he-the only plan
that has any chance of being put in
execution. : We do not profess to
know anything about boat railways,
but the United States engineers, who
do understand pronounce the boat
railway feasible and In fact better than
a canal, and more quickly operated.
Congress meess in December and the
matter,of an appropriation should be
urged by the entire press not only OF
Eastern Oregon, but by the states OF
Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The
money expended at the Cascades has
opened but a small section of terri
tory to the benefits of an open river,
but it was necessary to the plan of
utilizing the Columbia. Now that
the locks at the Cascades are nearing
completion, work on the distractions
here should be begun, that all of the
Inland Empire, as well as The Dalles
might get the benefit of the work.
Senator Mitchell in advocating the
work at the Cascades, gathered mass
of statistics concerning the immense
trade to be developed, and the vast
quantity of;products the country pro-
duces, and that he will use these figures
to back up the further improvement
of the Columbia goes without saying.
Let the papers of the Northwest, re-
gardless of politics stand together in !
demanding in season and out, this inn
provement, and let them begin now.

FINANCIAL OPINIONS.

1.-THE TINES s-MoUNTAINEER under

troll on the money, question. Both

land and the ID"
We might answer the taunt with 6
quip, to the effect that we admitted
the first three counts, denying the last
becaus we do not follow the Capital
Journal, but we prefer to answer 9th
erwise. The Capital Journal is a
strong advocate of free coinage o1
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. We dc
not doubt but that it honestly be.
lieves what it says concerning. that
subject. but however honest it may be,
the reasoning thai satisfies it. does not
change or modify our opinion. We
do not believe this government can
maintain silver at parity with gold,
or keep its purchasing power at its
present standard, unaided by the bal
ance of the civilized world. The
straw has been Refreshed so often
that we do not care to go over it. Our
opinion is our own and is reached
from dispassionate examination Of
the subject. If Hon. Harvey Scott,
Secretary Carlisle and President
Cleveland hold the same opinions we
do, it is only SO much more proof that
they too drink at the fountain of wis.,
dom, and are refreshed thereby. We
submit the following for the considera-
tion of our esteemed contemporary in
Salem. If this government can by
coinage law take $40 worth of silver,
and make it worth S20 in gold, then,
the converse of every proposition be-
ing true) it can take 500 worth of gold
and make it worth $40 in silver. Can
it do this? To a certain extent yes.
1t can do SO just so long as the govern
ment treasury will exchange one for
the other, but no further. 1t is doing
that now, and the doing of it is what
has made 80 much trouble in main
tanning gold reserve. That it can
do so Indefinitely is plainly untrue.
The moment the government refused
to pay dollar in gold for dollar in
silver, that moment gold would go out
of circulation and seek the markets
Of Europe where the $40 in gold would
be quadrupled in value, to $40 of our
silver coin.

ANGELES AUTOBIOGRAPHY

"Our Dumb Animals" published by
the Massachusetts society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals, has
broken loose in a new place. One
George T. Angel, who is an italicized
ass. has his signature appended to
most of the reading matter, and gives
mis- address as "19 Milk street, Bos-
ton." From the milk and water char
acter of George T's writings we Judge
the location was selected after much
deep and brain-wearying thought on
his part. Among the gems of thought
mined with infinite toll from Georges
mind is the following taken from an
article on the life on our "Great White
Ironclads." In speaking of boys join
ing the navy and going to sea on one
of these "great pieces of machinery
he says:
"We think it almost as bad business
for boys as going out on recommends
ton of our yellow dime literature to
fight Indians, who are hundred times
better and more peaceable than the
white ruffians that live around them. P"
1t will be seen from this that George
let's knowledge of the Indian and us
"white rufiians that live around them"
is not by any manner Of means linn
tied. The profound research into mat
ters pertaining to us border ruffians
which Georgie's writing shows, must
infallibly have weakened any intellect
more strong than his. But Georgie's
opinions were not confined to any one
subject. Oh! dear no. His thinklet
evolved another think, which he gives
form to as follows:
SIN an address we gave to about
three thousand coachmen, drivers and
teamsters in the Boston Theater some
years ago we told the story of The
Bad Man of Naples who was kind to
donkeys, and, who failing to enter any
heaven allotted to human beings, was
received and permitted to join the
donkeys to whom he had been so kind.
and we said that we would rather pass
a thousand years with the four-legged
donkeys than with some two-legged
ones we had known. The audience
seemed to agree with us in that con-
clusion."
OF course Georrie would rather pass
thousand years with four-legged dom
keys than with some two-legged ones,
but did it never enter his homeopathic
think-box that the four-legged dom
keys might feel the same way? Or
that he might if permitted to so run at
large violate the laws he praises, by
being unnecessarily cruel to animals.
An Angel with an abnormal desire for
the society Of asses, editing a paper
out of the italic case, with headquar-
ters on Milk street, Boston, is COM
bination not often found, seldom de-
sired and useless when discovered.

THE VENEZUELAN QUESTION.

Position Taken by This Government Some
Time Ago.
LONDON, Oct. 16.-A representative
of the Associated Press has obtained
from the best source the following
statement as to the state of the Vene-
zuelan question:
United States Ambassador Bayard
presented long note to the Marquis
Salisbury on the Venezuelan question
some weeks ago, stating at length the
views of the United States government
and the rules and policy which guide
it on such questions arising between
Europeans governments and one of
the American republics. Up to the
present no reply has been given, and
since it advances a doctrine of such
great Importance and wideappllcation,
the matter will engage the serious at
tention of the British government, for
some time.

told were to be found rich gold mines.
A Mexican guide accompanied them.
The guide returned today and re-
ports that they met party of Yaqui
Indians 100 miles southeast of here,
and that the Indians fired upon the
Americans, killing both. The guide
claims that he was kept a prisoner for
two days, and was then released after
first being told never to revisit that
country again. The guide is being
held until his story can be investigated.
He is suspected of having murdered
and robbed the Americans.

Eiaeers and roes.

There is one curious fact respecting
the animal creation with which you
will never become acquainted if you de-
pend on your text books for informa-
ton. 1t is this: No living representa-
tive of the animal kingdom has more
than five toes, digits or claws to each
foot, hand or limb. The horse is the
type of one-toed creation, the camel of
the two-toed, the rhinoceros of the
three-toed and the hippopotamus of
four-toed animal life. The elephant
and hundreds of other animals belong
ing to different orders belong to the
great five-toed tribe.

TACOMA, Wash, Oct. 16.-The Com

was the sudden demand Of the city for
$4,000 of its deposits. The officials say
depositors will be paid in full.

A Compliment to HIS Host.

The German emperor is a master Of
little surprises quite other than those
which occasionally fetch his troops out
of bed in the middle of the night when
they least expect it. While at Low.
ther castle, England, he took the op.
portunity afforded by the absence of
Lord Lonsdale to unpaclz a very fine
marble bust of himself and put it in a
position screened by the leaves of a
large palm. The sudden unwilling and
presentation was quite dramatic in its
character and it need hardly be said
that Lord Lonsdale was highly de-
lighted with the carefully planned
compliment.

In the first place Congressman Her.
mann mas never expressed What might
be called an opinion on the silver
question that would indicate that he
belonged on eithsr side of the ques-
tion. 1t is true that he did say he be-
lieved in silver, but would have "a
dollars worth of silver in a dollar"
This was simply saying nothing, ex-
cept that Hermann was politician
keeping his balance on the fence, and
ready to fall on the softer side. Should
Hermann's ideas on silver prevail, the
silver coin would have to be called in
and recoined every time silver fuc-

bers OF the coast associations, repre-
sentatives of Kings Daughters circles,
young peoples societies, and all inter-
ested in furthering Christian work
among women have been and will be

which, while they are evangelical, are
interdenominational, and conducted on
the same plan as the Young Mems
Christian association.
Miss Effie X. Price, who will be the
principal speaker at this convention, is
the international secretary of the Y. W.
Q. A.. and for two years has been at the
head of the international association
throughout this country and Canada.
Miss Price came to the Pacific coast last
November, and has been visiting the
conventions since that time with Miss
Emma Reeder. who is the Pacific coast
secretary OF the Y. w. @. A. Miss Price

tractive speaker. and brings wide ex.
perience throughout the entire field Of
this work. She will be the guest OF
Mrs. u. d. Muthuas, the president OF
the Los Angeles association, 1929 West
Seventh street. during her stay here.
Mics Reeder, who WAS general secre-
tary of the Scranton, Pa. association,
and afterward etate secretary of New

this month as assistant international
secretary. Miss Reeder has exceptional
qualifications for her field of labor, and
the Los Angeles association owes its
existence and present prosperous condi-
ton to her faithful efforts.
