The legislature of Oregon could
protect the people Of the state
against the outrageous charges Of
the express companies for services
between points within the state.
Particularly are these charges ex-
cessive on smaller packages sent
from Portland to points in Eastern
Oregon. For carrying and deliver
a package under eight pounds from
Portland to Pendleton the charge
is beyond reason, being nearly as
much as for a similar package from
Chicago to Pendleton. The Port
land merchants should use their
influence with view of lessening
these charges of the express COM
panies, as the discrimination against
Portland has the effect of driving a
considerable business east that be-
longs by right to Portland trades
men. In matters of this kind the
Portland business interest is dere-
lict, not seeming to care to what
extent extortion is resorted to SO
long as it is not directly attributed
to it. The express companies
should be made to reduce their rates
on the smaller packages to some
thing near the level of rates charg
ed for similar service by the express
companies in the East, and the bus
mess men of Portland should tak'
the initiative in the matter, and i
necessary, correct the abuse by ac
of the legislature. Since the ex
press companies take advantage o
every opportunity to cinch the pub
| lie the least they should expect j
that the people will make use 0
their powers to protect themselve
against extortion. The charges 0
these companies concern every Cit
izen of the state, as they unneces
sarily add to the cost of living, g
that big dividends may be paid t
stockholders who have no interes
: in the country or the people, other
wise than to exact all the traffi,
will bear.-East Oregonian.

Got the Coyote
Very Respectfully,
W. +. BURDELL,
Treasurer.

A new tangled coyote trap came in
evidence yesterday morning. John
Smith, while walking about AmbrO-
setti's field saw a big milk can cutting
up all kinds Of pranks about the field,
and John Investigated. 1t proved to be
a coyote with his head fast in the can.
The animal had endeavored to get a
drink, and when his greed was satisfied
he could not take his head out of the
can. Smith brought can and coyote
up town, and after a long consultation
at Petersen & Springmeyer's yard, it
was decided to cut the can off, which
was done. Henry Akin held the brute
and as sOOn as tho can was removed
MIR. Coyote was ready for business.
Akin held onto him, and picking him
up, carried him to Lind's harness shop
where a strap was fastened about his
neck. The coyote is a beauty and is on
exhibition at Petersen & Springmeyer's
corral.

BACK TN PRISON
A Man Who Did Not Know
When He Was Well Off.

Yesterday E.. A. Herting was brought
down from Storey county and landed i'll
the State Prison. 1t seems odd that a
man can be picked up in the streets and
without any trial be landed in the State
Prison, yet such are the facts in his case
and the work of the officers was per-
fectly legal and justiiable.
About five years ago Herting had al
alteration with a man named Cox and
killed him. He was convicted of the
crime and sentenced to serve ten years in
the State Prison. On the 9th of this
month he appeared before the Board Of
Pardens and on the showing that he had
been an exemplary prisoner and wished
to join his relatives in Stockton and lead
a different life, he was granted a cOndl-
tional pardon by the Board.
He was pardoned upon the condition
that she Immediately leave the State of
Nevada, and if he did not Immediately
leave said State or if he returns to this
State, then and in either event, he shall
be returned to said State Prison and there
serve his full sentence"
A few days g Acknowledgement Jones
notified the Board that the man was in
Virginia City conducting himself unbe-
comingly and evidently had no intention
of leaving the State as agreed. An officer
was sent after him and he is now back in
his old cell where he will probably serve
the rest of his term, which will be some
four or five years, dependent somewhat
whether his credits are counted or for
feited by the Board. His diSgracefuI
conduct will probably result in the for
feiting of his credits.

In Lapland the crime which is pun
ished most severely next to murder is
the marrying of a girl against the ex-
press wishes of her parents.
When a sutton makes his appear
ance he says nothing to the girl, nor
does she often know who he is, but
her parents inform her that her hand
has been applied for. =
Then, on day appointed, the girl,
her parents and friends meet together
and sit at meat, with the sutton and
his intended opposite to one another,
so that they can view each others face
and converse freely. When the feast
is over the company repair to an open
space, where "the race for a wifS' is
to be run.
The usual distance is about quar-
ter of mile, and the girl is placed
third of the distance in advance OF the
starting point. If she be feet OF foot
and does not care for her sutton she
can easily reach the goal first, and If
she accomplishes this he may never
trouble her again.
If, on the other hand, she wishes to
have him for husband she has only
to lag in her flight, and SO allow him
to overtake her.
If she be particularly struck with
him and would signify to him that his
love is returned, she can run short
distance, then stop and turn and in
vite him with open arms!

There has just died near Stockholm,
Sweden, a woman nearly 100 years
old, who, according to her last words,
has had life full of uncommon suf-
fering and wrong. AS girl this Au-
gusta Kellgren was of uncommon
beauty. Her parents were poor and
her only dowry was the charm and
natural grace Of the peasant. In 1919
she was accused, when only nineteen
years old, of the murder of an old
peddler woman. When arraigned in
court she protested her innocence, but
was sent to prison until she should
confess. She spent forty-seven years
in prison, until, about thirty years
ago, the king pardoned her. She set
up small business in Stockholm and
to the day of her death maintained hei
innocence of the charge on which she
was condemned.

ried a couple. The registers were
signed, and nothing remained but the
giving and taking of the fee. The
bridegroom, strapping young fell

parson glanced at the smiling bride
and slyly answered: "Whatevek you
think it is worth" Now, it SHOULD
have been worth great deal, for the

coins, then turned to the fair one.

worth?" What did this young and
blushing bride do? She reached out,
took the coins, handed one quarter to
the minister and put the other into

A NAVY OF MECHANICS.
Two Interesting Suggestions of Ensinser-
in-Chtef Melville.

In his reviews Of the late, war with
Spain, in the pages OF two leading
periodicals, during the last few
months, Engineer-in Chief Melville of
the United States Navy has probably
made no more striking suggestions
than these contained in the Engineer
ing Magazine: ~ That the naval re-
serve should be something besides
military organization, being selected
with special reference to mechanical
skill; and ~ that every enlisted man
in the navy should be mechanic.
The modern war vessel is equipped
not only with engines for propulsiop,
but also with auxiliary machinery for
scores of purposes. Moreover, the
guns and turrets, the ammunition
hoists and the range-fnders and
other pieces of offensive armament are
machines of elaborate construction.
The Santiago fight illustrated the ne
cessity of putting ship where her
guns would do some good; and to do
so in that historic contest of July the
ingenuity and devotion of the engin7
GERS staff of every ship that took part
was taxed to the uttermost. Yet when
the Merrimac went into commission
her chief engineer was astonished to
find that only one man In the whole
crew had been to sea beforel
Mr.. Melville's first recommends
ton, then, is that in the merchant
service of the United States there
should be an organization of engin-
GERS, fremen and mechanics-men
who are accustomed to machinery and
q sea lite-that could be made availa-
BILE for the Government in an emer-
gency. He then says:
"This I believe to be only the first
step toward the organization of the
navy in accordance with the condi-
tions now obtaining, and the next
step will be the making of every en-
listed man mechanic as well as sea-
man. This is exactly similar to the
change which occurred many years ago,
when the sea-soldier and the sailor,
both officers and men, tbecame ANAL
gamated; and it will give us not only
the fighting engineer as our naval
officer, but the fighting m echanic for
our man -of-war's man."

The difference between French
and an American court is that in this
country a criminal has an amount of
consideration that makes him more Of
. burden as prisoner than he was as
Q criminal; while in France an inn9
cent man arrested through co1t
spiracy that may afterward be exposed
may get no consideration whatever.

The course of the epidemics of infu-
enza during the present season has
been somewhat different from that of
former times. Instead of travelling
from ease to west, almost the contrary
has been the case. The disease struck
this country in the late autumn and
early winter, was next heard from in
France, Germany aud Great Britain,
and has now appeared in quite a viru-
lent form in Copenhagen, Stock holm
and Christiania. Judging from re.
ports that reach us, the brain symp.
toms appear to be prominent features
as noticed among the Scandinavians.
tits quite probable that the prevalence
and violence of these cerebral mani
festations are much exaggerated.
Severe pains in the head, and ever
violent delirium, are not uncommon
during the commencement of the az
tack; but these phenomena are o.
short duration and leave no specia
marks behind. Grip in itself is not /;
recognized cause of insanity. Wher
actual madness appears the influenza
by it's facilitating and depressing infiu
ences, merely acts as an indirect ex
citing cause in a person already inner.

In the more progressive countries, at
least, the breaking of the shackles in
which the investigating mind had been
imprisoned for so long has led not
only to greater number of scientific
workers, but also to an increase in
the fields Of observation, observes C.
L. Whittle in Appletons' Popular Sci
ence Monthly. The methods of in
vestigation have likewise undergone a
transformation. In place of deddc-
tive reasoning, even as late as a few
decades in the past, conclusions and
generalizations are now founded on
lines of thought more largely Undue
tive. Men of middle age are able to
recall the time when even our leading
institutions of learning required in
struction in several branches of sci
ence to be given by one teacher. 1t
was possible 25 years ago for man of
great ability to master the essentials
of the leading sciences and to teach
them, but under the present stimulus
for investigation no one can hope to
excel in more than one subject. 1t
has thus come about that in place of
the many-sided teacher of science we
now have in our larger universities
specialists in every subject.

The information comes from wash
tngton that the American gunboat
Wilmington, which is now cruising in
Venezuelan waters, is to be sent on an
exploring expedition as far up the
Amazon river as her draught of about
eight feet will allow her to 60 The
highest point yet reached on the river
by an American vessel is Manaos, $50
miles from the mouth of the river, and
beyond this point very little is known
Of definite character about the great
river, which is more than three thou
sand miles in length. II is believed
that the Wilmington will be able to
cover at least two thousand miles of
the length of the Amazon, and doubt
less she will be enabled to clear up
much of the mystery that attaches to
the interior of Brazil. Wild stories of
great mineral wealth, statues of gold
and tribes of Amazon warriors have
elung to the region since the days of
Pizarro and his followers in the six
teenth century, but it is doubtful if
the explorations Of the Wilmington
will sustain any of these old traditions.
