In the Pacific Monthly for Decem-
ber, c. E. S. Wood in discussing So
cialism, railroads and social prob
lens, says: 1.-THE earth's surface no
man created. To occupy any part of
it is a monopoly, subject always to
the welfare of society" Then why
don't Mr.. Wood surrender to the
"welfare of society" the thousands of
acres of military road land held by
himself and the French land COM
pany he represents? His holdings and
those of his clients are practically
blocking the progress of the Malheur
irrigation project. If he really be-
lieves what he breaches, why does he
hold back the logical progress of So
ciety in Malheur county? 1t is one
thing to be reformer on paper and
quite another to be a feed lawyer in
actual practice.

Repeatedly it has been asked why
Pendleton does not patronize a good
lecture as she does poor show. Re-
peated efforts have been made to or
ganize a lecture course, but the scant
patronage and cold reception given
the project has always deferred the
promoters. Almost any kind of a
show can get a good house. The bet
ter class of performances, involving
high intellectual standards and activ-
tiles, are always heartily welcomed
and draw crowds of the best people.
The same intellectual problems pre-
sented in a high-class lecture would
not attract a .eorporals guard. Why
are Pendleton's tastes thus fixed?
Other towns of less intellectual activ-
ity are fruitful fields for lecture as
sociations and lyceum bureaus. Pen
dleton supports two of the largest
book stores in Oregon, outside of
Portland, and contains a large and
progressive population of strongly
thinking and widely read people. That
her tastes are thus prejudiced against
the lecture, is an enigma that is diff
ficult of solution.

one hundred years ago tomorrow
Lewis and Clark, who were in the
winter camp at Fort Mandan, wrote
I'm their official journal as follows:
December 10, 1SO4.-Captain Clark,
who had gone out yesterday with Is
men to bring in the meat we had
killed the day before, and to con-
tinue the hunt, came in at IL o'clock.
After killing nine buffalo and pre-
paring those already dead. he had
spent a cold, disagreeable night on
the snow with no covering but a
small blanket, sheltered by the hides
of the buffalo he had Just killed. We
observe large herds of buffalo cross
ing the river on the ice. The men
who were frost bitten are recovering"
And 100 years ago yesterday. they
wrote: December S.-The thermom-
eter stood at IL degrees below zero
or AZ degrees below the freezing
point. Captain Lewis with 15 men
went to hunt buffalo, great numbers
of which darkened the prairies, on
which the snow lies from six to Is
inches deep" Some of the cost OF
conquering the Oregon wilderness
may be imagined from these excerpts

81 saw once a mother anx-
iously seeking through garden
and house for her living child
which she was carrying in her
arms. Still more mistaken is he
who seeks his dead in a remote

had but to look within to find
him still present. And If he
does not find him wholly there,
did the mother then completely
possess her child even while she
was carrying him in her arms?

TABLET UNVEILED.
The unwilling OF the tablet preceded
an address by Lieutenant Samuel L.
Graham. U. S. N, senior member of
the Board of Inspection at this yard,
which was of particular interest from
the fact that Lieutenant Graham was
deck officer of the o. S. s. Trenton at
the time of the hurricane and was on
duty. at the wreck for two months aft
er that memorable 18th of March.
Lieutenant Graham said, among other
things:
We have today unveiled this tablet
in memory of those officers and men of
this United States Navy and Marine
Corps who lost their lives during the
hurricane which passed over Apia,
Samoa, on March 10 and Is, 1889. They
lost their lives, not in the heat and
excitement of battle, but waited with
courage sublime death staring them
in the face thirty-six hours before the
grim monster came to them in the wa
tiers of Apia harbor.
Remember what a poor lot of make
shifts We're borne on the navy register
of 1883 and then look at those there
today. Today the navy is the pride
of the American people and all parties
and all creeds believe in it and favor
its increase. The i'll wind that wreck

Fishing Rights of Oregon to Be De
tern1ne

SALEM, Oct. 6.-The State Fish
commission is determined to have the
right of the state OF Oregon in the mat
ter of control of Columbia river fish
ing settled if possible and to that end
an order was made today requesting
District Attorney Harrison Allen, of
Astoria, to take such civil or criminal
proceedings as will test the question
in the courts of the state.
The subject was brought to the at
tention of the fish commission by the
Van Dusen who set forth the facts
regarding the acquittaI Of Alexander
Grant Grant was arrested on the
charge of fishing on his seining
grounds on Hog Back island without
a license from the state of Oregon. He
was tried before a jury in a justice
court and set up as a defense that the
state of Oregon had no jurisdiction
over the place where the fishing was

the Washington side of the center of
the river The jury acquitted him.
Mr.. Van Dusen had evidently eX
pected such a result, for he says in his
report 'as Il precaption against such
a decision. evidence Of his violating
the statutes in this particular respect
was secured at several different times

plaint filed and the matter taken up

mission, composed of the governor,
secretary of state and state treasurer,
does not like to leave the question as

today the members of the commis-
sion expressed the desire to have the
question tried out in the circuit court

to this end they made the order asking
