THEY WILL CLOSE MILLS
Unjust Discrimination the
Reason.

Minneapolis, Mimi. April 12.-Crip-
pied by railroad discrimination and
forced out of competitive markets by
unequal freight rates, the millers
claim, the mills of Minneapolis will
close down the latter part of this
week for an indefinite period. Many
mills at northwestern country points
will close also.
Flour Is being hauled from Kansas
City to Chicago for four cents hun
dred. From Minneapolis the rate is
1C cents. Two cents hundred will
take wheat in from the Missouri river
to Chicago. Three weeks ago the mil
lers took the matter up with the roads
and have taken it up again since.
Nothing has been gained.

NEW ZEALAND's GEYsERs.

Yellowstone park is reputed to have
the most magnificent geysers in the
world, but their reputation is based
upon the statements of travellers who
have never been to New Zealand and
who know nothing of its natural Won
ders.
Leaving Auckland by a fast express
train a journey of eight hours brings
one to Rotorua. where may be seen
the most splendid geyser which is
possible TO be found anywhere in the
world. To give some idea of the mag
nitude of the geyser one need men
tion only the height of some of the
surrounding objects.
over the Inferno crater" which
contains a seething lake of water, is
small shelter shed 45O feet above
the plain. The surface of the water
in the geyser basin when at rest is
about 40 feet below this plain. The
height of the eruption must often be
about 900 feet. This is by no means
exceptional. Higher ''shOts" have
been recorded.
aSO the dI cd VI l4Af
basin was measured in small boat
by a traveller and guide. They
found that the area is about two and
half acres. from which it may be
inferred that this geyser may well be
called the largest in the world.
The geyser plays about % times a
month. is very erratic and gives no
warning when it is about to erupt.
The theory is advanced that the basin
is somewhat like a funnel and that
when the water and stones are eject
ed the larger stones return and jam
in the neck. thereby choking the out
let. so that an enormous pressure Of
steam must shift them. When the
pressure is sufficiently great to blow
out the distractions 1t naturally
would eject water to a great height
This geyser is not the only one to
be seen in this vicinity. Others may
be mentioned. such as the Pohutu.

others besides mud volcanoes..-Chi-

Soon enough mount youths tOpmost

That their restless feet will run;
There may come a time in the bye

When you'n sit in your lonely room

For a sound OF childish fun.
When you'll long for a repetition

That sounded through each room.

That will, echo long in the silent halls,
And add to their stately gloom.
There may come time when you'H

The eager. boyish tread,
The tuneless whistle. the clear shrill
shout.
The busy hustle in and out,
And pattering overhead.
When the boys and girls are all grown
up
And scattered far and wide.
Or gone to the undiscovered shore.
Where youth and age come never
more,
You will miss them from your
side.
Then gather them close to your loving

Cradle them on your breast,
They will soon enough leave your
brooding care,
Soon enough mount youths topmOst

as follows.
1T will be seen that while at Get
iysburg less than half the number
of troops were engaged than took
part in the battle of Lao Yang. the
casualties were 10000 more. In the
Wilderness they were 15.OOO more.
When the battles of Gettysburg and
the Wilderness were fought the weap-
ons used were greatly inferior to
those of the present day.
THE troops on either side used the
muzzle-loading musket, most of the
cannon were smooth-bore and of lin
tied power and range, while the tre-
mendous explosives used at Lao
Yang were unknown. If the union
and confederate armies at Gettysburg
had been provided with the weapons
used by the Russians and Japanese
in the present war, the three days
fighting would have nearly destroyed
both armies"

uMa11LI.A COUNTY ABROAD.

During the past week the East Or
egonian has been mailed to friends
in five different parts of the world.
where perhaps the message of Una
tilla county was never told before
through any other agency.
Copies of the paper have been
sent to Dunedin. New Zealand. An
nan. Scotland; Niu Chwang. China;
Panama, Central America, and st.
Johns, New Foundland.
Five remote corners of the world
have thus read the story Of Umatilla
county, through this medium, and in
every quarter it has been a welcome
visitor.
That is the kind of advertising that
pays the country.
Where one friend is found to read
the story to his wondering relatives,
in a foreign land. it means little
circle Of fast friends for the country.
The East oregonian is glad to
carry the message abroad. 1t is glad
TO be the messenger of the enchant-
ing story Of the West. There is a
conscious pride in this service that
repays for all of the cost and the de-
lay Of the rewards in the business.

men in Umatilla county who was a

that he learned the English language
