Panama Lotteries Stopped.

Among the many questions which
are settled in the instructions issued
by the president of the Panama COM
mission is that of gambling. TheCe
matters include control Of the lottery
and other gambling concessions on
the isthmus.
Probably there is surprise, mixed
with dissatisfaction. in Panama and
Colon over the Presidents tart instruc-
ton that the commission shall enact
laws annulling those previous con-
Germs.
The Panama lottery Is one OF the
firmly established institutions of the
isthmus. Nominally it is a company.
but stock is held by lot of indiv!du-
ais. The corporation owns fine
building in Panama. near the cathedral.
1t has agencies all over the isthmus
and the selling of lottey tickets is q
regular business. The venders peddle
them on the trains, and their COM
missions enable them to make good
living. The drawings. being under
the state control. are honest in so far
as n lottery can be honest.
The other gambling privilege is
purely an American concern. That Is.
American citizens have the franchise.
or did have it. They paid Colombia
for the monopoly. just as the lottery
paid for its privilege.
The chief asset of the gambling con-
cession was the roulette wheel. In
Colon the sailors were the chief pat
rons. In banana the patronage came
more from the inhabitants and persons
connected with the canal work, as well
as from the travellers up and down the
Pacific coast.

LATEST NEWS FROM WASHINGTON
Forest Inspector. Report.

Inspector Barret, in his report. says:
While in the field, about forty rang
ers Of the Yellowstone reserve were
met, and many of them accompanied
ME for short periods. These rangers with
one or two exceptions were industrious.
capable men. many of them Of good
education and well acquainted with the
country and doing their best to en-
force the regulations of the department
and orders Of their superior officers. AS
deputy game wardens of the state. they
are doing much toward protecting ana
preserving the large game of the Yel-
lowstone forest reserve. The greatest
dificulty In this country. where ex-
penses are high, feed scarce in winter
and provisions difficuIt to produce at
times, is to secure and retain men of
the necessary qualifications for the sal
ary now paid to rangers. Wages are
high in this locality and most men
prefer to work where their expenses
are paid and not where they must
furnish everything.
I'm general, the conditions on the
Yellowstone forest reserve are better
this year than for many seasons past.
Owing to heavy SHOWS last winter and
an unusual amount of rain during the
summer months the grazing lands on
the reserve with few exceptions were
in excellent condition and feed was
plentiful"
The inspector says the range force
on the Yellowstone forest reserve is at
the present time better organized and
more efficient than ever before. In the
entire trip of almost 1900 miles not
one forest fire was seen by the inspec-
tors party.
Mr.. Barrett says that while in the
field he made 1t a point to meet all
classes of citizens who are interested
either directly or indirectly in the for
est reserve policy. and adds:
"Sheepmen, cattlemen. ranchers and
business men were interviewed, their
views obtained and noted down. While
a great many of the settlers had some
small grievance against the forest re-
serve policy. only very few were
rabid and anti-forest reserve people
were met. and the large majority OF
the actual settlers are well disposed
toward the reserve and recognize its
advantages. although many of them be-
lieve there should be certain changes
made In present regulations"

Timna.h Pioneer Chilled to Death.

Denver, May pa Republican spe-
cial from Fort Collins last night says:
But one fatality has resulted from yes
terday's flood so far as heard FROM.
However, telephone lines are down in
every direction and bridges are washed
out, SO that it is impossible to get
word from outside districts. G. r.
Strauss died this morning at the farm
home near Timnath from the effects
OF a chill and exposure.
Mr.. Strauss was seventy-six years old
and quite feeble. He had lived in the
house in which he died since 1860. He
was a bachelor and employed a man
and wife to keep his house and do the
work on the farm. When the river be-
gan rising Friday evening the hired
man and his wife became alarmed, as
the house stands close to the river
bank. and left. They tried to persuade
Mr.. Strauss to go with them, but he de-
clined, saying:
81 have lived on this farm forty
four years and have seen many floods,
and am not afraid of water"
Later in the evening the water rose
higher and flooded his house and he
then began to think it was time to get
out. He waded to the stable and sad
died horse with the evident intention
of riding to the bluff lands. The sad
died horse was found this morning
with the bride hanging to the saddle
pommel and it is supposed the animal
got away from its master.
Mr.. Strauss was found at day light
clinging to a barbed wire fence, up to
his armpits in water, and barely alive.
He was carried to the house and every
effort made to restore him, but with
out avail. He died twenty minutes
later. He was in the water all night.

Eddy's Candidacy Launched.

The Eugene Register has commenced
to boom l.. 7. Harris, Speaker of the
House in the last State Legislature, for
Congressman. That is right and proper
for we like to see the home newspapers
loyal and rue to their favored sons.
As there appears to be indications that
all the counties in the First Congress
sional District will have a favored son
to nominate at the next convention, it
will be in order for the Headlight to
nominate b. l.. Eddy, so that Tilla.
nook county can be represented in the
grand political shuttle for congressional
honors. If Harris was the speaker OF
the last house, and obtained that honor
by the courtesy of The gentleman from
Tillamook, Mr.. Eddy was recognized
the leader on the floor OF the house
during the last two state legislatures,
an honor which he obtained by his own
ability and force of character, and
which entities him to the congressional
honors if the convention makes any
change in congressman. Every county
in the district ID, aware of this, and the
Eugene Register must not lose sight o.
this fact. Ii it is looking for a young
and energetic Republican with Roose
velt's traits of character to represent
the First Congressional District in Con
gress, then Mr.. Eddy is the man tina
congressional toga should fall on
TillameoE Headlight.

that Mr.. Geer has struck his forte, and
when he sings a song of Harmony with
a big "H," Republicans should sit up
and take notice. Having abandoned
the political arena as a principal and
engaged in a legitimate and honorable
calling, he is entitled to that respect
and honor merited by every man who

A whole lot Of Republicans seem to
misunderstood the word "R~eciprocity,"
as applied to the free exchange of pro-
ducts between nations. In a strictly
Republican sense it applies only to non
competitive products for example:
The United States produces, n surplus
Of cotton goods; some other country
doesn't produce any; that country adj
mits our cotton goods free of duty, pro-
yided we admit from that country free
Of duty some article which we. do not
produce. General reciprocity would
have the same effect as free trade, and
the Republican who advocates it should
feel perfectly at homo in the camp OF
the Democratic free traders.

ADDRESS j. M. GARRISON.

DR.. Woods Hutchinson, secretary of
the State Board of Health, has ven.
tured the opinion that booze-some-
times called King A~lcohol--is a good
thing, because it knocks off the face of
the earth SO many Objectionable char
acters. AS the Doctor puts it, liquor is
can eliminator of the unfit" This
means, in the Doctors opinion, that
every man who is in the habit Of get
ting his inwards scalded and turned
wrong side out and his brain made
goosey by over-indulgence in booze is
unfit" to live, and the O n he is
eliminated, the better for the world.
The trouble with the Doctors theory
seems to be that no sooner does a booze
fighter go down tt death and defeat
than another fills the gap. The ranks
of the great 'unfit" army are always
s'full,'
