The locstion of these was strange and

of slabs Of stone resting on the top of

been made. The bodies had been laid
full length upon the floor. The cere-

and the skeletons themselves were In u
crumbling condition, and give little

passing interest came to light concern

way, there arc enough to show that

with prominent houses, seem to have

The stone used in the inlayine was q

by means of brig ht-red cement.

CAN'T BE DONE.

.
Portland's city council is undertak-
ing to leg:slate against the "high hat''
nuisance at theaters, presumably hav-
ing nothing better to occupy its atten-
tion, since it has about given up hope
Of suppressing gambling, prostitution
and other like eYils. But it will likely
be no more successful in abating the
former evil than it has in stopping the
latter, nor should it. High hats at
theaters and public gatherings are an
noying, but no community will ever
be able by legislation to prevept their
being worn, however custom of society
can. A woman with any considera-
tion for her neighbors will not hoist a
towering mass of millinery on her
head SO as to blind the vision of all be-
behind her, but if she has worn such
q contrivance to a public gathering
will remove it if custom will permit
her to do so. If the leading women of
society would make practice of re.
moving their hats when they enter the
church or theater, the same as men do,
it would be but short time until the
custom would be universal. But the
woman will never submit to
a law debating what she shall, or
shall not wear. However, if the Port
land councilmen are determined to
work reform among theatre goers,
why should they strike at the ".high
hat" as the only nuisance? Why not
pass an ordinance preventing men
once in the theater from going out to
sec friend between acts? This habit
Is Just as annoying to the women as is
the high hat to the men. II Portland
Is going to have reforms, why not

PROTECT THE. FRUIT.

Elsewhere in this issue is published
an order from Commissioner Emile
Schano to fruit growers to spray their
trees for San Jose scale, which is
timely. Orchards throughout the dis
trict are becoming infested with scale,
and it will require the united offort of
all to eradicate or even check the
spread of the pest. The .orchardist
who cares for his trees can accomplish
but little in the way of keeping down
pests so long as his neighbor neglects
to spray. hence it is necessary that ell
orchards be treated systematically and
very nearly at the same time.
The fruit industry of this district is
becoming Of too great Importance to
allow it now to be ruined through
neglect. Wasco county fruit has an
excellent reputation in the markets
abroad, but if diseased fruit is per-
mitted to be shipped, this reputation
will soon be gone. Half a car load of
bad fruit sent out in season can in
jure the sale of an entire crop. Buy
ers abroad getting a few boxes of
apples or pears affected with scale
will condemn all fruit coming from
this section. 1t is therefore most i'm
portant that fruit growers exercise the
greatest care in keeping down pests in
their orchards. If the diseases can.
not be checked it is better that the
Trees be cut down ,and burned than to
permit them to grow and infect other
orchards.

That there will be no extra session
of the legislature called before the
June election is foregone conclusion,
but after the election look out. If suf-
fcient pressure can be brought to
bear on Governor Lord he may con-
vene the legislature to elect senator,
especially if the republican party
should not be successful ct the polls
in June.
This is one year in the history Of
Oregon when the politicians and pro-
fessioual officeseekers should be re-
quired 10 step aside and give the
people chance. The state has been
run long enough by politicians, and it
is time those who are to be governed
be given an opportunity to chose their
governors.
What Oregon needs today is fewer
laws and lighter taxation. No man
should be permitted to take q nomina-
tion on the legislative ticket of any
party who will not pledge himself pub
licly to labor for reduction of salaries
and the repeal of all laws creating
boards and commissions.
The gold fever spreads like disease
which is both epidemic and contagi-
Gus. Since the KIoudike excitement
began in the west, New York has be-
come so much interested in mining
that no less than 1000 gold and silver
claims have been recorded in that
state within six months.
When one thousand or more men
seek to patch up old grudges between
two political classes, they have under
taken big job. 1t is a thing easier
said than done, as some who attended
the love feast in Portland are now
ready to testify.

raisers and wool growers are prosper
Gus beyond question, but other
branches of indurtry are not much

in the highest priced money obtain
able at the time the debt falls due.
La short. if his contract should call for
coin, or even sivler. he is morally
bound to pay in gold if the creditor,
demands it. Here are the painciples
the president lays down:
"There is another duty resting upon
the national government-to coin
money and regulate the value thereof.
This duty requires that our govern
ment shall regulate the value of its
money by the highest standard of
commercial honesty and national
honor. The money of the United
States is, and must forever be, unques-
toned and unassailable. If doubts re-
main, they must be removed. If weak
places are discovered. they must be
strengthened. Nothing should ever
tempt us-nothing will ever tempt us
TO scale down the sacred debt of the
nation through a legal technicality.
Whatever may be the language of the
the United States will dis
charge all its obligations in the cur
rency recognized as the best through
out the civilized world at the time of
payment"
Plainly, President Mckinley would
discriminate in favor. of the bond
holder. Regardless of the wording of
the bond, he would say that every
other currency of the nation should be
discredited when settling with the
favored class, and this "sacred debt"
should be paid in gold, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the government has
no means to force gold payments of
obligations due it. This principle
when stripped OF its superfluous ver-
bage means simply this: That there
must be continuance of the interest
bearing debt of the nation. Not hav-
ing any other means of securing gold
but the sale of bonds, whenever the
interest or principle of the bonded
de bt comes due, no matter how much
other money it may have in its treas
ury, it must 60 into the markets aud
buy gold on its credit interest bear
ing bonds) to meet the demands of the
bond-holders. If his policy is pursued,
his administration will go down to his
tory renowned for its servitude to
Wall street, and the national interest
bearing debt will be fastened upon the
people till time shall end.

WANT TO POOL ISSUES.

CHICAGO, Feb. "A Tribune special
from Washington says:
Quiet negotiations have been going
on in the senate for several days, look
ing to a sensational combination of
the friends of both Hawaii and Cuba
with the object in view of precipitat-
ing crisis on both questions without
waiting either. for the annexation
treaty in the Pacific or the slow move
ments Of autonomy in the Atlantic.
When the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill was before the
house, the democrats made several
efforts to tack on an amendment for
recognition either of the bellieerenry
or the independence of the Cuban in
surgents. The house has strict rules
against the insertion of new legisla-
tion on appropriation bills. Similar
rules exist in the senate, but they are
seldom or never applied, and the upper
house of congress is always relied upon
to fill the appropriation bills with
purely legislative enactments, which
then become part of conference
report, and are not specifically the
subjects of points of order in the
bouse.
Take advantage of this situation,
three or four prominent republican
senators, among whom is at least one
member of the foreign committee,
have scheme for bringing immediate
scheme involves union of forces be-
tween the friends of Hawaii and Cuba.
Although the annexation treaty is
said not to command two-thirds of the
whole senate. it has in its favor an
undoubted majority representing all
parties, and the same is said to be true
as to Cuba. 1t is proposed, therefore,
to draft an amendment to the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill,
containing, first the entire wording
of the Hawaiian annexation treaty,
and secondly, a private declaration
that state of war exists in the island
of Cuba. A mere majority vote would
be sufficient to pass the amendment.
AS it would be part of a general appro-
priation bill, there would be no rule of
the house which could prevent it's con-
sideration, and if passed by that body
it would go to the president, who
would be put in the position of having
to approve or veto both propositions
a. the same time.

THE SENATE AND SILVER

The final vote on Teller's resolution
was had in the United States senate
last Friday and resulted in very de-
sided vete in favor of the white metal,
it being Al for and 80 against
the resolution, ten senators being
paired. Eleven republicans voted for
the resolution and only enc democrat,
Coffery Of Louisiana, voted against it.
The resolution was:
"That all the bonds of the United
States, issued or, authorized to be Is.
sued under the said acts of congress
hereinbefore recited, are payable,
principal and interest, at the option
ofthe government of the United States,
in silver dollars of the coinage of the
United States, containing 412a grains
each of standard silver, and that to re-
store to its coinage such silver coins
IS legal tender in payment Of said
bonds, principal and interest, is not
in violation Of the public faith nor in
derogation of the rights of the public
creditors"
The fight against the resolution was
persistent and bitter. Efforts were
made to so amend it as to read that the
bonds Of the government shall be paid.

RAILROAD POSSIBILITIES.

There seems to be little question
but A. B. Hammond has negotiated for
the floating of $40, 900, 900 bonds of the
Corvallis Eastern railway (the old
Oregon Paciflc,) and that the money
will be expended in extending the
road eastward from its present
terminus In the Cascade mountains,
and on through Eastern Oregon to a
connection that will make of it a trans
continental line. Should this road be
thus extended it will give to the cen.
tral and southern part of EASTERN Ore
g0n an outlet that it has long needed.
But it will not be an outlet to any
point in Oregon. for everything that
goes west over this line seeking mar
ket will 60 to Yaquina bay, thence to
San Francisco, while>the wool and
stock destined for eastern markets
will go directly over the road to their
destination. As result San Francisco
and New York will to a considerable
extent become the iobbing towns for
the Inland Empire. Merchants will
naturally buy in the cities where the
products of their patrons are sold,
hence Portland will be heavy loser
in the Wholesale trade. The Dalles,
too. is threatened with loss of trade on
account of the proposed road.
Here then is a proposition on which
The Dalles and Portland can join
hands, for they are both interested in
the trade of the central part of Oregon.
and it is to their interest to act jointly
in creating means by which it can be
retained. Atpresent the most feasible
plan for accomplishing this end is the
of railroad from The
Dslles leading south into the country
which the Corvallis Eastern proposes
to tap; and sdould this be determined
upon, the question arises if it is most
advisable to establish an Independent
line or form combination with some
line that is already building in that
direction. These are matters well
worthy of the attention of both The
Dalles and Portland.
