SHOULD BE HEEDED.

The East Oregonian touches up
the promoters, and tritely exposes
the schemes of the swlndling gangs
organized to catch all suckers who
have the Klondike fever as follows !;
t'The Klondike companies that are
being widely advertised all over the
country are stock jobbIng schemes.
They are after purchasers for their
stock, small investors who will put
in their little savings and lose them.
IL prospects of these companies were
as bright as they are painted there
would be no scarcity of money for
their operation and the little fellows
would never be given an opportunity
to share in the good fortune. But
as things are, the risks are too great
for the big fellows to take, and so
the little suckers are being solicited
to furnish the paws to rake the gold
en- chestnuts out of the fire.
''We read that Col. Soandso is the
president of one company; Major
Verymuchalive of another; Banker
Twopercent of another; Congress
man Getthere of still another. The
list of the companies is longer than a
full grown arm and the greed behind
them ravenous enough to take a
widows mite. Those who have
money had better invest it in local
enterprises or loan it out at four per
cent than trust 1t to the kind care of
worthless who are bent .on making a
stake at other peoples risk and ex-
pense. And there are any number
of such men IN this country of the
free.

1t is announced that Col. William
Bailey of New York, who bought
the Tacoma d Lake Shore railroad,
will extend the same across the
mountains to this point, This may
be true, but we are inclined to doubt
it. In the first place there IS meth
ing to justify the building CT such a
road, for from the time it left the
Cowlitz until it struck the Columbia
it would pass through mountainous
country furnishing nothing to main
tam road unless coal was found on
the route. In the second place there
is no pass on the proposed line and
the building of the road would be
expensive and difficult. A road
could be built up the Cowlitz and
through the Cispus pass to Yakima,
but from the Cowlitz to the Klicki-
tat the balloon route is the only prac-
teal one.

The government has decided to
again brand its horses. A few years
ago the practice was discontinued on
account of the demands of the hu-
name societies, who pronounced it
cruel. Humane faddists, like all
Others, go to extremes, That the
practice Is, in sense, cruel in that
it inhicts pain on dumb animals, is
admitted, but the applying of a
brand is, after all, but light affair.
1t makes small blister that is well
in a week, and is, as far as pain is
concerned, mere trifie when com
pared with the beatings animals are
given every day, and which cause no
comment. 1t is the only feasible
plan known for identifying the ami
mails, and sentimentality must give
way to necessity.

States. They come high, but every
body wants one-or more-and the
foreign demand is increasing. And
yet the best place for the American
girl is in America, and the best
future she can have is one with an
American husband and American
children, some of them small edi
tions of their lovely mother, who
will in turn become the bewltching
American girl. The Khedive might
give his consent to his brothers mar
rying an American girl, but we fancy
the American girl would hesitate
long before surrendering to the sad
dle-colored scion of African royalty.
Just imagine a down-sprouted angel
in the shape of an American girl,
haremized by hawk-nosed, tan-col-
ored, polygamous eastern savage,
dressed in tulban and she-pants.

The American girl IS combina-

tact and witchery that is simply ir-
resistable. She is full-ngged, nickle-
steel armored, the finest craft that
sails the sea of life, and when she

have "make a cake" 1t is
composed of corn, wheat, oats

the best preparation for pan
cakes and mullins extant. This
is one of the newest food arti
cles in this market and we are,
so far, the onl y persons selling it.
Fifty varieties of crackers
seem like a good many for one

a better cracker if you search

Brilliant shine means Just

sizes, it is convenient for the

Two cities whose Inhabitants wall.
On the preciou. Metal.

Two cities whose Inbsbitants Walk
on the Precious Metal.
There are other cities besides
the New Jerusalem whose streets
are paved with gold. They are
Prescott, A. T., and Johannes
burg, in the Transvaal. To be
sure, the proportion of gold is
small, about "a to the ton of earth
rock, but it is gold, nevertheless,
and the cities named are the only
ones Of mundane growth whose
inhabitants are able to tread the
precious metals under foot with
IMMUNITY.
With the machinery at present
in use it would cost more to re-
duce the ore than it is worth, but
in years to come, when science
shall have discovered less expen-
sive methods of reduction, the
Aldermen of Prescott and the
Beers or Uitlauders of Johannes
burg, whichever are in power,
may order the streets torn up aud
the paving crushed to help out
the city treasury. The paving
stones used in Prescott are taken
from the m, untains that surround
the town. If paving-stones other
than those containing gold could
be gotten more cheaply, they
would doubtless be used, but
there is a trace of the yellow metal
in all the rocks of the mountains
about the city, and where it is not
found in paying quantities the
stone is no more precious than
the old cobbles once so common
in the streets of the larger cities
Unfortunately there are no street.
sweepers in Prescott, and the
golden pavement, instead of being
bright and FURNISHED, is more
often dingy. In Johannesburg,
surprising as it may seem to a
person at this distance, the paw.
ing is better laid and better kept
than il is in Prescott. There Is
about the same proportion of gold
in it, but the Beers and the
Uitlanders are like the girl in
the play-they don't notice 1t. "
They take no more heed of their
golden streets than they do of the
asphalt thoroughfare used as a
bicycle track, although many OF
them may never get a glimpse OF
the aurlferous passage ways on
high.-Exchange.
