In 1874 Lord DisraeH, then prime
minister, appointed Lord Salisbury sec
rotary of state for India. They had
been bitter political antagonists and
Lord Salisbury had some doubt about
the propriety of taking Office under a
chief he had so frequently attacked,
but on the advice of Mr.. Gladstone he
accepted It, 1t was soon after their
reunion In Downing street that the
Tory chief described his colleague as
"a great master OF gibes and f1outs and
jeers." Lord Salisbury took the de-
scription without offense, and Disraeli
afterward amply atoned for it by pub
lie expressions of consideration. 1t
was a time for strong man at the
head of Indian affairs. There was
famine in India. Salisbury grasped the
situation with ability. He adopted
Lord Northbrook's policy with regard
to the expectation of Indian grain in
spite of its unpopularity, persuaded
parliament to make a loan of 100000
600 and chartered steamers to convey
food to the distressed districts.
Even up TO the beginning of his last
sickness Lord Salisbury was a tireless
worker. He was interested practically
in chemistry and electricity, and ap-
piled it himself to his estate, Hatfield
House, and elsewhere. He had pri-
vate chemical laboratory, where he
spent much time. Several of his public
addresses showed his lively interest in
science, such as that at the opening
Of the electric railroad in Liverpool in
1898 and at the meeting of the British
association in Oxford in 1894, over
which he presided.
Writing of this phase of Lord Sails
bury, the late Julian Ralph said about
year ago:
VERY pleasant TO him -urs the hours
he spends in his laboratory. which is
said to be unsurpassed IN completeness
and modernness by any private labo
ratory in England. From his youth he
has had a bent for this work, and IN
physics especially he has attained such
knowledge as to be sought for counsel
and discussion by some of the greatest
minds in that field. 1t is even said
Of him that If he had not been a great
statesman he would have been 8
greater scientist.
1.-THE reason that he has written and
spoken very little upon scientific sub
jects is that because OF his modesty
and because of his association with
many brilliant lights in science he per
haps too fully realizes that other mer
have a better right than he to discuss
in public those matters in which he
feels himself to be only student"

Future Wife-TOuching Tribute to
Her MemOry-His Practical Interest
In Electricity and Chemistry-A
Scientist as Well as Statesman.
Lord Salisbury. whose death has just
removed one of the most eminent OF
British statesmen, might almost be
said to have had hereditary statesman
like attachments. He traced his an
cestry back to Norman times, when
Robert Sitsilt, founder of the family,
was a soldier of renown in the days of
William Rufus. The Salisbury branch
of the Cecils, however, had it's origin
from the second son Of Sir William
Cecil, Lord Burleigh, Queen Elizabeth 8
famous minister. Robert Cecil became
secretary OF state and lord high treas
urer, like his father before him, and
eclipsed his elder brother, who had
been created Earl Of Exeter. in political
reputation. Sir Robert Cecil was made
Baron Cecil Of Essendine in 1908 and
Viscount Cranborne the next year. In
1905 the title of Salisbury was brought
into the family. when he was made
Earl Of Salisbury. James, the seventh
earl, was made marquis in 1859. Sir
Roberts son. the second earl. sat In the
house Of commons during the common
wealth. The fourth earl was a Catho-
lie and conspired for the restoration Of
James II. The first Marquis of Sails
bury served for some time in the COM
mons and was Lord Chamberlain from
1873 to 1904, fellow of the Royal so
ciety and a patron Of the arts and sci
ences. James, the second marquis, was
lord privy seal in Lord Derby's first
administration and in 1858 was lord
president of the council. The last
named nobleman, father Of the late
marquis, married the daughter of BAN
Der Gascoyne, merchant Of the city
of London. and on this side the states
man just dead could claim descent from
three aldermen of the city.
The late Lord Salisbury, whose full
name was Robert Arthur Talbot Gas
coyne Cecil, was a second son, and APP
parently not one of his fathers favor
ties, as he was kept on so meager an
allowance that he had TO write for the
newspapers and reviews to maintain
himself.
He was successful at this. for he was
not only vel educated and rather deft
with his pen, but his position as the
son Of the lord privy seal and president
of the council gave him unusual oppor-
tunities for getting inside information.
At this time In his life Lord Robert
and NIillais. the painter, then also a
young man, were chums, and they
went to Australia together. They lived
in shanty and roughed 1t at the gold
fields for awhile without getting much
richer.
Returning to England. the young Ce-
Gil promptly married against his IA
Tiers wishes and went to parliament
for the Stamford division, which he
represented until the death OF his elder
brother gave him the marQuisate and a
seat in the house of lords,

To Relieve Suffering at Hepp

Sumpter responded very generously
yesterday to the call for assistance
from the sufferers from the cloud
burst at Heppner Sunday, in the way
of money for the survivors and men
to help bury the dead. At citizens
meeting held at the opera house in
the afternoon purse of s647 was
raised In less than half an hour, and
twenty-five men volunteered to
proceed to the scene of the disaster
at once and render service toward
burying the dead. The city council
took the initiative in the forenoon
at special meeting, by subscri bing

the opera house.
Mayor McColloch was made
chairman Of the meeting and W. d.
b. Dodson secretary. No sooner was
1t stated that men and money were
needed in the distressed district than
purses were opened and contri buttons
came in from all sides. Men from
all parts Of the room volunteered to

been sent II necessary, but 1t was
thought best to limit the number to
twenty five, and these were mostly
carpenters and others selected with
view to rendering the best ser.

with the funds for the relief Of the
survivors. The party left on the

Of the BONANZA Nine.

The case Of Ira Lemon and others
Va. the Bonanza mine, was tried the
latter part of last week and Monday
of this week in the United States
Circuit court at Portland, before
Judge Bellinger aud jury.
This Is the case originally started
in the Circuit court at Baker City,
and which was removed to the Federal
court, In which the plaintiffs sued
the Bonanza mine for damages
amounting to $4,000 sustained by
the owners of the Hard ly Able placer
claim, Ira Lemon and other plain
tiffs, by reason of the Bonanza
cutting down about one million
feet Of timber.
After the testimony Of both sides
was In, the court held that the
plaintiffs had no interest whatever
in the timber, on which they could
base case for damages, and directed
the jury to return verdict for the
defendant, which was accordingly
done.

On Saturday morning last Aaron
Vaughn, a fine looking colored man,
26 years Of age died ut the Deming
hospital from the immediate effect Of
an amputatiOn Of the right leg, and
was buried Monday afternoon by ]. A.
Mahoney, undertaken.
Waugh and brother George, came in
on a freight train from Douglas Friday
morning, on their way to their home in
San Antonio, Texas, and intended to
continue on their way by the S. P.
road. It seems the brothers have been
IN the habit of travelling at reduced
rates on the freight service of the rail-
roads, and contracted with brakeman
of the freight train due to leave here
at l1:55 p. m. Friday, to carry them to
FL Paso for two dollars. There seems
to be an unwritten law that box car
passengers must not get on board until
after the train is in motion, and the
brothers attempted to get on board
this way, but Aaron missed his hold,
fell with one leg under the the car, and
his right leg was crushed just above
the foot. George drew the injured
man away from the track and come in
to town for assistance and removed the
unfortunate man to the hospital. Drs.
Rexford and Mcclellan we're quickly
summoned, but as they found the man
greatly enfeebled by loss of. blood he
was made as comfortable as possible
until Saturday morning at ten o'clock,
when the crushed leg was amputiated
mid WY between the foot and the
ankle. The shock of the operation ad.
ded to the suffering he had already un.
dergOne was too much for him, and he
was unable to rally.

Rebutting the old idea that a
knowledge Of the French language is
necessary to a liberal or useful educa-
tion the Chicago Inter-0cean says:
Without disparagement to the Ian
guage of great people, it may be
said that French, Of all European
tongues, is the one which the average
American least needs to know.
If he seek in tongues beyond his
own for the latest discoveries of science
and conclusions of scholarship-if he
wish to read in the original the works
Of the greatest literary figures of the
nineteenth century-he will study
German.
''If he wish to read in the original
the writer's outside of English who are
most influencing current literature he
will study Russian or the Scandinavian
tongue.
"If he wish to enlarge in industrial
developments in the most promising
fields beyond the domain of his mother
tongue, or to take part in the admins.
tration of his country's new territories
he will study Spanish."

where except in the East" he says.
I'm the West there is plenty of money
and plenty Of plain common sense.
Business is good, crops are abundant
and money cheap everywhere have
been.
'The excitement and decentralization
Of the East are regarded with indiffer-
ence in the great, busy, productive
West, he continued. "0f course, |
found labor strikes in the West as in the
East, but they were strikes for higher
wages and shorter hours, not strikes
against lower wages that are signs Of
bad times. That Is a very important
fact to remember just now.

A Valuable Man.

Don't despise the promoter. He de-
serves every cent he gets out OF any
enterprise he promotes. He has a
time of it often to pay his running ex-
penses while he is promoting, but
when he succeeds he does good. His
efforts help the country; he induces
capital to exploit our resources; his eff
forts result in promoting immigration.
in giving work to labor, in advertising
the country. One successful promoter
is worth to a young and undeveloped
country fifty times as much as the
staid and steady mossback who sits
around and does nothing but make
money out of conditions created by the
efforts of others. Albuquerque Journ-
al Democrat.
All this is true and we might
appropriately add that no no man is
more abused by the majority of people
than the promoter when his schemes
do not succeed, and who can manage
big affairs, requiring great labor and
capital without having some failures.
and yet it is comparatively little
credit he gets for the conditions his eff
forts create.
