The Pilot Rock Record is right in
condemning the practice of the
Morning Tribune of Pendleton for
holding up" pioneer citizens of Pilot
Rock for sums varying from $3.50 to
$3.50 each for few lines mention in
an alleged edition of 5000 copies. 1t
would be impossible to mention the
history of Pilot Rock without hon
orable mention of every pioneer in
that community. Many Of these pio-
neers have been constant patrons of
the Tribune since it was founded.
and by their support it has been en-
abled to live. Yet 1t unscrupulously
CRAFTS them for a bare mention of
their names in its special edition.
Through the efforts of the Pilot Rock

The reclamation department of the
United States has suddenly develop
ed into one of the greatest depart
ments of the government. From a
small bureau few years ago. it has
evolved into massive department,
with millions of dollars at its dispo-
sal. and the very life or Western
settlement dependent upon its wis
dom. Will the official grow and de-
velop i'm proportion to the sudden
development of his department? or.
will the theories and practices that
fitted the little experimental bureau
be enforced in the wider and more
splendid scope of the great depart
ment? viii this department still be
made up Of red tape processes, the
issuance of abstract reports which
are of so little concern to the peo-
libraries of the country? No longer
a bureau of experiments, this great
department has come to fill an active
place in the government. Its effec-
tiveness will be the means of settling
the west. Through its wisdom,
practical sense and actual work must
come the next great national evolu-
tion in the reclamation of the idle
deserts. Congress should widen the
scope of the department and give it
all possible power-and then the de-
partment should do something.

Farnsworth heard her utter low
cry of surprise or dismay, and was on
the point Of going in when Father
Beret, coming around the corner of the
cabin, confronted him. The meeting
was so sudden and unexpected that
both men recoiled slightly, and then,
with q mutual start, saluted.

flag" said Farnsworth. ''She is in
side. / hope there is no serious in
trusion. She says the flag is hidden
under your floor"
Father Beret said nothing, but frown-
ing as if much annoyed, stepped
through the doorway TO Alice's side,
and STOPPING where she knelt, laid
hand on her shoulder as she glanced
UP and recognized him.

The priest stood as If dumfounded,
gazing into the vacant space uncovered
by the puncheon.
"Is it gone? Has some one taken it
away?"
They turned up all the floor to no
avail. La banniere d'Alice Roussillon
had disappeared and Captain Farms
worth went forthwith TO report the
fact TO his commander. When he
reached the shed at the angle OF the
fort he found Governor Hamilton sit
ting stupid and dazed on the ground.
One jaw was innamed and swollen
and an eye was half closed and blood
shot. He turned his head with pain
ful, irregular motion and his chin
sagged.
Farnsworth sprang to him and lifted
him to his feet, but he could scarcely
stand. He licked his lips clumsily.

Hamilton, as he gathered his wits
together, began to foam with rage, and
his passion gave his bruised and swoll-

The story was short and may be
quickly told. Nj. Roussllon had taken
advantage of the first moment when

Where LondOn's Famous Preachers
and Teachers Gathered.

Where London's Famous Preachers
and Teachers Gathered.
The closing decades of tie last CEN
tury comprehended the palmy period of
distinguished little society in London
club for the teachers and preachers Of
their age, secular or religious Such
indeed was the Metaphysical society.
Its orannizino snirit had nerhans heen
James Knowles. II Its most famous
member were found INV. e. Gladstone
its leading spirits, who took the most
active part in its discussions, were
Cardinal Manning and Richard Holt
Hutton, the editor of the Spectator.
James Martineau, Matthew Arnold and
William George Ward, the erewhile
mathematical tutor of Baliol, as well
as the poet Browning, may sometimes
have been of the company, but the chief
figures were those already mentioned.
In his earlier days Hutton, like so
many reflective men of his day, was
the disciple of +. ID. Maurice. Then
among his associates were j. NJ. Lud-
low and Thomas Hughes, the author of
TON Browns School Days" After
ward r. II. Hutton's mental master
would have been recognized by him in
his brother member of the Metaphys-
ical society, James Martineau.
The great incidents In its proceedings
at this time were the high speculative
arguments wherein different sides were
taken by teachers of their generation
so mutually opposed and so individually
distinguished as Manning and Marti-
neau, upon very rare occasions, 1t may
be, by Gladstone, Browning and, |
rather think, once or twice by Tenny-
son himself. The extraordinary mag
netism exercised by Martineau over his
personal following was perceptible in
his manner with casual acqualntances.
AS such, It was realized very many
years ago by the present writer when,
as an exceedingly young man fresh
from college, he was concerned in pre-
pairing some examination questions, In
which his venerable seniors. Maurice
and Martineau, with one of two more,
were to have a voice.-T. III. s. Escott

very susceptible.

''and if you get my flag how shall l

Il am sorry to say that you will
have to trust me, unless you'll take
Captain Farnsworth for security. The
captain is Il gentleman, | assure you.
VIII you stand good for my veracity
and sincerity, Captain Farnsworth:'
The young man smiled and bowed.
Alice felt the irony, and her perfectly
frank nature preferred TO trust rather
than distrust the sincerity of others.
She ,scd at Farnsworth, who smiled
encoura gingly.
''The flag is under Father Beret's

Farnsworth, try as hard as he would,

When they arrived at Father Beret's
cabin, she turned and said with i'm
perious severity:
Don't you come in. You stay cat
here. "I'll get it in minute
Farnsworth obeyed her command.
The door was wide open. but Father
Beret was not inside; he had gone to
see sick child in the outskirts of the
village. Alice looked about and hesi-
tated. She knew the very puncheon
that covered the ~, but she shrank
from lifting it. There seemed nothing
else to do, however, so, after some
trouble with herself, she knelt upon the
floor and turned the heavy slab over
with Il great thump. The flag did not
appear. She peeped under the other
puncheons. 1t was not there. The
only thing visible was n little ball of
paper fragments not larger than an
egg.

Adrienne recognized her assailant at
the first and used his name freely dur
Ing the struggle. When Father Beret
appeared she cried out to him:
"Oh, Father-Father Beret. Help me!
Help me!'
When Farrisworth recovered from the
breath expelling shock of the jab in his
eide and got himself once more in a
vertical position, both girl and priest
were gone He looked this way and
that, rapidly becoming sober and be-
ginning to wonder how the thing could

Goats.


"Few people know the many admira-
BILE qualities of the goat" said a
breeder. Goats are the only animals
that will boldly face a fire, and they
are often kept in stables for the sole
purpose OF leading horses from the
stalls In case of confiagration. Horses.
you know, will burn to death before
moving from the flames unless some
other animal leads them out. Goats
can foretell stormy weather and in
varlably find shelter before storm
arrives. Even in domesticated life the
goat loves TO Chamber about on dizzy
heights and will generally be found on
a crag OF rock or, II that is not availa-
bic. on the roof OF barn or the top OF
a barrel. The most valuable variety
OF goat Is the cashmere, whose soft,
silky hair furnishes material for ex-
penslve fabrics. The cashmere is q ma
tive of Tibet, but the shawls are made
In France, Germany and In later years
In the United States. To make n single
shawl yard and half square at least
ten goats are robbed of their coats."--
