The union miners of the
Cnur d'Alene district express
great surprise that Corcoran
should have been so promptly
convicted by a jury of farmers
and miners. The inference is
that, right or wrong, regard
less of evidence, the union men
expected that a jury made up
OF Idaho farmers and miners
would not bring in a verdict
against them. 1t is a little dis.
couraging to them to learn
that within twenty minutes
after the jury retired eleven of
them favored the verdict as
rendered, and one stood out
for six hours for a verdict OF
murder in the first degree.
This verdict will do more to
restore law and order to the
hitherto lawless district than

Range Grasses.


Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson, who is at present tour.
ing in Oregon, in speaking OF
the ranges of Eastern Oregon,
says the problem is allow to
renew them" Give the grasses
that will grow a chance for
new life, and introduce other
grasses that will help them
out. These ranges should be
improving instead of deterior'
ating. The impression | re.
ceived was that they should be
rented to stockmen on long
leases, and make it an object
to have them improved. The
federal government should give
states authority to rent the
ranges, the states to use the
rentals received for schoo
funds or to dam up streams
and irrigate lands, the title te
remain in the government anc
homesteaders to have ne
abridgement of rights.

Geological Changes.

AT the Idaho university sum.
mer school assembly, July IS,
Professor Henderson of the
department of botany gave a
lecture entitled THE Physi-
ography of Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho.' 1t was a de.
scription of much of the pictur.
esque. unique and beautiful
and sublime scenery of these
three states, and gave some in.
teresting suggestions as to the
geological origin of their pres
ent surface. "Gvologists," said
Professor Henderson, trace a
time when the Pacific ocean
rolled deep above our western
hills and valleys. The Blue
mountains of eastern Oregon,
then the highest point of west
ern land, stood as an island in
the Pacific ocean. Mt. Adams,
OF the Cascade range, whose
summit is now but 1900 feet
above the sea, is thought to
have lowered some 10000 feet
above the present sea level.
This giant, as we'll as many of
the mountain ranges, has been
greatly diminished by erosion.
AS the Pacific ocean receded a
great inland sea was left be.
tween the Cascades and the
Rocky mountains, but burst.
ing its barriers on the west,
where lowest, it rolled and
Numbered through the rocky
gorges of the Cascades, and
forming the mighty Columbia,
swept onward to the sea. Then
as the great inland reservoir
was being drained of its pent
up waters there came to be
channels in the surface of the
land which appeared, and as a
result we have the rivers of to.
day drawing down these
courses the waters which fall
from the heavens or spring
from the hidden depth of earth
AT intervals earthquakes have
rent and changed a river bed,
here casting higher a range Of
mountains, there casting others
down or causing new ones to
rise"

President Mellen, of the

IN Lewiston recently and was

Mr.. Mellen is quoted as fol.
lows:
"The branch up the Clear.
water will be completed BY

Cottonwood creek, a distance
OF sixty miles, and will be
built on to Camas Prairie. The
terminus of this line has not

fifteen miles under contract is
completed. We expect to
handle the crops this fall from

Whether we are forced to

Volunteers Oppose Expansion

San Francisco Call: A sig.
nifcent incident took place at
he Orpheum on the night of
the reception given to the Ore.
gon volunteers. The program
of the entertainment included
an evening at the theatre and
400 of the volunteers were
provided with seats at the Or.
pheum. The number, it will
be seen, was sufficiently large
to represent the sentiment of
the regiment. That is the
fact which gives significance
to what occurred. During the
evening one of the performers
came upon the stage to deliver
a speech upon topics OF the
day. He began by asking:
DO we want the Philippines :"
Instantly from the volunteers
the response went back: "No.'
If there were any affirmative
voices they were SO few they
were lost in the volume OF
sound of that emphatic mega
ative-a negative made doubly
impressive by the fact that the
volunteers rose to their feet tc
give it force. "Do we want the
Philippines?" That is the
question which persons who
have not had time or oppor
tunity to study the issue. full,
are asking all over the United
States. mo" That is th'
answer which the volunteers
: who have had experience il
the islands, give in response Il
the question. The Orego'
volunteers are representative
:. of the truest American mar
hood. They are not among
those who give their countr,
lip service only. When tn
