Representative Tongue has secured
the passage in the house Of the bill
making Crater lake and vicinity a
national park. He succeeded in secur-
ing President Roosevelt's interest in be-
half Of the measure and It was at the
latter's request that the speaker allowed
the matter to come before the house.
The bill is expected to pass the senate
without difficulty. This Is matter in
which southern Oregon people have
keen interest. Crater lake is one OF the
scenic wonders OF the world and as II
belongs to southern Oregon, we are
anxious to SEQ II recognized and

THURSDAY. APRIL "a, 1902.

The Kurds have been indulging In
their pet pastime Of slaughtering Ar
menians. The Turkish government is
too indolent to make any effort TO put a
stop to these outrages, and indeed prob
ably gszes on them with complacency,
making whatever small show OF dis
approval is necessary in order that other
nations shall not interfere. There is
little hope that the Armenian atrocities
will ever be stopped until some other
government other than that Of the Turks
interests itself actively in tho matter.
II is very necessary that this should be
done.

The Chinese exclusion bill has passed
the senate. though with tho Plat
amendment, allowing Chinese sailors on
board American ships. While II was
not generally considered at all likely
that an exclusion bill could fail to be
passed by congress In the present
session, the many distractions thrown
in the way Of such measure gave some
OF the Pacific coast people a sort Of
creepy feeling. The objection TO an ex'
clusion bill Is based on commercial in
terests as II claimed that such
measure seriously hampers our trade
with China. This position is probably
true, though not to the extent which
the antiexclusion advocates would
have us believe. But We could better
afford to have our Chinese trade Abso-
lutely stopped than to have our favor
cd Pacific coast overrun with Mon
golians. No trade and no Cinnamon
would be better for the Pacific coast,
than much trade and many Cinnamon.

BRINGS PALACE FROM ITALY.
Mrs. G. ?. SDFaSue Imports an Historic
House Which VIII Be Erected
in Boston.

Mrs. Charles F. Sprague, member
of the famous Weld family and wife
Of a former representative in congress
now in an asylum, is about to outdo
Mrs. Jack Gardner in the fad of i'm
porting and installing an italian house
within greater Boston. Mrs. Sprague
has bought one of the handsomest Of
the old-time palatial piles in Venice.
The entide building, all pieces being
carefully packed, and its valuable fur
nishings are now on their way TO Bos-
ton.
The materials this secured are to be
used in Transforming Mrs. Sprague's
country home at Brookline into an
italian palace that shall surpass Mrs.
Gardner's.
Mrs. Sprague has about $4,000, 900 at
her command. Mrs. Gardner is popu-
larly credited with the possession Of
about S5.000,000.
Mrs. Sprague's residence, which is
of wood, will be incased in a she'll Of
brick and Italian marble. All the
wood, marble, tapestry, furniture and
rugs of the new ballroom will consist
of the furnishings of that formerly in

Lower Rates Coming.

The Charleston correspondent OF
The State says in order to encourage
the people, the railroads have knocked
the bottom out Of the rates. At a
meeting held Friday it was practical
ly decided to make the rates lower
than at present, and the existing
scheme Of rates is lower than ever
before issued for Charleston. No very
definite statement may be made in re-
gard to the new rates, but the whole
matter will be made public in few
days. This much is known here-the
rate from Norfolk will be Sc: from
Atlanta SO. 80 (which is cheaper than
the ordinary rate from Columbia;
from Savannah 81; from Columbia
and Augusta $500 (Which is cheaper
than walking If one had to buy meals
along the route This is in keeping
with the rates from other points, so it
will be seen that the railroads are de-
termined to bring the people here.
The midway people were very much
delighted when they heard Of the rates
being reduced so conspicuously. They
say that they have neverheard Of such
rates being offered to any other e1-
position" This is good news, and we
hope the crowds will now pow into
Charleston to see the best exposition
ever held in the South. Everybody
should see the exposition.

ID. Cowley, who runs another train
over the same route, confirms Smiths
story. Both are men Of unqrestioned
veracity. There is much apprehension
among trainmen over that branch. and
it is said there is strong demand for
rabbits feet and other talismans.

Little Boy Blue.

The little toy dog is covered with dust
But sturdy and Stanch he stands:
And the little toy soldier is red with
rust
And his musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was
new
And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time when our Lit
tie Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
"Now don't you go till I come" he
said,
And don't you make any noiser"
So todding off to his trundle-bed,
He dreamed Of the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming, an angel
song
Awakened our Lite Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, the years are
long
But the little toy friends are true.
Ay, faithful to Little Boy Blue they
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch Of little hand,
The smile Of a little face.
And they wonder, as waiting these
long years through,
In the dust Of that little chair,
What has become Of our Little Boy
Blue
Since he kissed them and put them

tical effect this holy religion and dem
onstration that godlinesS is profitable
here as well as hereafter?
How can you get along without this
religion? Is your physical health SO
good you do not want this divine tonic?
Is your mind 50 clear, SO vast. 50 COM
prehensiye, that you do not want this
divine inspiration: Is your worldly
business so thoroughly established
that you have no use for that religion
which has been the help and deliver
ance Of tens of thousands OF men in
crises Of worldly trouble? And if what
/ have said is true then you see what
fatal blunder it. is when a man ad-
journS to life'S expiration the uses Of
religion. 4 man who pOstpones reli-
gion to sixty years Of age gets religion
fifty years too late. He may get into
the kingdom Of God by final repen-
tance, but what can compensate him
for whole lifetime unalleviated and
uncontrolled? You want religion to-
day in the training Of that child. You
will want religion tomorrow in deal
ing with that customer. You wanted
religion yesterday to curb your tenn
per. Is your arm strong enough to
beat your way through the floods?
Can you, without being incased in the
the mail of Gods eternal help, 60
forth amid the assault of all hell's
sharpshooters? Can you walk alone
across these crumbling graves and amid
these gaping earthquakes? Can you,
waterlogged and mast shivered, out
live the gale? Oh, how many there
have been who, postponing the reli-
gion Of Jesus Christ. have plunged in
to mistakes they never could correct,
although they lived sixty years after,
and like serpantS crushed under cart
wheels dragging their maulded bodies
under the rocks to die. So these men
have fallen under the wheel Of awful
calamity, while a vast multitude Of
others have taken the religion of Jesus
Christ into everyday life and, first,
in practical business, and, second, on
the throne Of heavenly triumph, have
illustrated, while angels looked on and
a universe approved, the glorious truth
that "godliness is profitable unto all
things, having the promise of the life
which now is as well as Of that which
is to come.''

Eo More New Instruments

The government will save a good
deal of money as result of the de-
cision of the quartermaster general
of the army to buy no more musical
instruments for army bands until
the present stock, which is quite ex-
tensive, has been exhausted. It has
been the practice in the last few
years to permit the bandsmen tc in
dicate the particular make of instru-
ments deemed most suitable for the
requirements of individual musicians.
The choice was limited to irstru-
ments of domestic manufacture. For
the time being calls for instruments
must be confined to the make at
present on hand. The reserve stock
has recently increased owing to the
turning in of the instruments OF
abandoned bands.
