Accident to W0rzrmen N@ax SpMn9SM
 Town, Jamaica
 KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 2S.-A Thirty-three persons have been killed by an accident which took place near Spanish Town, ten miles west of King ston, in the main conduit of the West India Electric company, which Oper- ates the street cars from Kingston and the shareholders of which are princi- paIly Canadians.
 Nearly a hundred laborers had been detailed to remove the sand from the enormous pipe. which is mile long and which conveys water from tue intake on the Rio Cobre to the turbines of the power house The work had practical ly been completed when orders were given to allow a small quantity of wa ter to enter the conduit. Through mis- apprehension, accident or carelessnesa the full force of water was turned on, and mad struggle to escape by means of the manholes ensued, with the re- suit that thirty-three persons were killed.
 The tragedy has cast a gloom over the colony, and rigid investigation into the cause is now in progress

There is more virtue than appears
on the surface in the resolution of
Tom Richardson before the Trans
Mississippi Congress. to raise the sal
ary of congressman from $4,000 to
$4,000 per year. 1t has been said
hundreds of times by observant. hon
est men who have tried the expert
ment, that it is impossible for a con-
gresham to live in Washington. and
keep up the pace set for the members
of congress on $1,000 per year. The
congressman is not wholly RESPONSE
BILE for the social gait at Washington,
but if he retains the respect of his
co-workers. eXerts any influence or
holds any important committee an
pointments in which he can be of SER
vice to his constituents, he must keen
up with the gait Every man elected
TO congress feels conscious pride in
keeping up with the demands of the
times. If he can't do it on $4,000 per
year. rather than fail he will spend
more than his salary, and then feel
ing that the people owe him enough
to maintain the office. ne is tempted
to accept money on the outside. Not
every man would yield to this tempta-
tion. but many do. and so the public
service is lowered and the people are
not served in every instance. If the
salary were equal to the prim-
rose path of Washington life, as mark
ed out by the social and political gods
and goddesses. many a man, natur-
ally honest and clean at heart. would
remain so. and serve the people con-
scientiously. although the gay life re-
quired of him. ate up every cent OF
his salary.

The East oregonian presents its
readers today with an authentic state
ment from John T. Whistler, govern
ment engineer for Oregon, that the
Echo irrigation project is practically
abandoned. owing to the utter alb
sence of reservoir sites. The search
of the government for suitable sites
has been complete and exhaustive and
there remains not the faintest hope
that the last moment in the field will
reveal a site that will be acceptable.
The government will not undertake
the project. if there is the possibility
of failure. so the idle land of Umatilla
and Morrow counties must await an
other savior. There is but one plan
of action left for Umatilla and Nor
row counties to pursue. 1t is this
Collect statistics on winter irrigation:
give names of owners and the descrip-
tion Of farms that are now highly
productive under water flooding. and
make an appeal to the government to
spend small sum in building a main
canal covering the Echo tract. for the
purpose of flooding that entire tract
of idle land during the winter and
spring seasons. The government can
not deny the success sof winter irri-
CATION on tracts that can be cited.
Even the canal system, at a small
cost will fully reclaim the entire tract
and as so much money has been spent
in investigation. it seems waste of
money to entirely abandon the pro-
ject without exhausting the last re-
source in the effort to make the land
fit for settlement.

The Sunday Oregonian aptly says
that New York City. in spending
s13s,OOO.OOO for her splendid subway
tunnels. is paying the terrible penalty
for ill-planned streets in the infancy
of the great city. Had New York
looked ahead for half century and
laid a foundation for her present
enormous population. she would not
now be operating a 1900. .OO0-people
traffic on a 1000, ,000-people founda-
tion. She should have laid founda-
tions larger than she needed at the
time Of building. The same crisis
now confronts the city of Portland.
She should now lay foundations for
streets. car lines. sewers and other
public utilities large enough to ac-
cemmodate half a million people

e'er she is aware. 1t is hoped the

The Associated Press sent a report
out of Pendleton Friday night to the
effect that $50 clerks mobbed Paul
Strain and attacked him with rotten
eggs" because he refused to close his
store at 6 o'clock. This statement is
wired to every paper in the United
States taking the Associated Press
dispatches, and the clerks of Pendle-
ton have been wrongfully and falsely
advertised to the world. When peo-
pie in the East read that account
they will wonder If a business man
is safe in Oregon. Capital will be
timorous in coming to this country,
where merchants are "mobbed" on
the slightest provocation. Mr.. Strain
himself, would have been more Just
and would have used milder language
than the Associated Press has used in
giving the account of this affair. PEN
dleton and the clerks union are both
immeasurably injured by the state
ment and every effort should be made
to correct the impression. In the
first place no one was ''mobbed" nor
threatened with mobbing. The clerks
gathered at Mr.. Strains place TO dis
cuss early closing with him. when a
crowd Of curious people collected as
they always do. to hear the discus
sion. Hoodlums over whom the clerks

three fresh. not stale eggs, at Mr..
Strain. Marshal Carney cleared the
sidewalks when he saw that the pas
sage was blocked and Mr.. Strain and
the clerks ''sassed'' each other with
out casualties on either side. The in
sulting remarks made came from
hOOdlums. who always take advantage

The number of persons that visited

average for the 1858 days the library

closed to the public only on Christmas

organization which is probably more
powerful in proportion to its numeri-

in this country. In his 40 odd year,
of political activity he has never had

votes. Yet. small as is this Free
Company of civic marauders, its lead
er, by his cunning and vigorous
methods. has been able absolutely to
control the most important branches
of the city government, keeping him
self in fat contracts and his followers
in fat jobs. This he achieved through

deals with the enemy. and through

The history of the anti-boodle
movement. upon which the issue OF
of the battle depends. is the record
of three men. 1t begins with Ed But
Ter. Butler is the democratic boss OF
st. Louis. He is to some extent also
the republican boss. That is. he
doesn't much care what party name
is stamped upon the handle of his
tools. He used to be a blacksmith
and he went into politics in order to
get the contract for shoeing the
street car lines mules. He got it,
and he has been getting something
out of politics ever since. He is now
nearly 40 years old; rich shrewd

TENNIS EXPERTS
OUT FOR HONORS
California Club Plans the
First July Tournament to
Be Held in Many Years

AS a rule tennis tournaments are not
held on the local courts between the
July and September championship
events. This year the players are so
numerous that those who are out of
town will not be missed. There will be
tournament play almost every Sunday
up to September l, and the California
Club for the first time in years will
hold a tourney in July. 1t will be a
handicap doubles and will be for the
Directors cups.
These valuable trophies have not
been up long but have already been
won twice by the same team. Herbert
Schmidt, one of the winners, is out of
town and the cups will go to a new
team on Sunday. Rolfe and Schmidt
have their names on them twice. Smith
brothers, Allen and Hill and Allen and
Crawford have won the cups once, but
the latter is the only team now in the
competition.
On the Park courts the first and sec
ond classes will be completed to-mor-
row and the third and fourth classes
commenced. In the first class there
will be three matches and they are all
expected to prove close and interesting.
Clarence Griffin and George Baker will
come together first and, although the
latter is expected to win, Griffin is con-
ceded a chance. He has been improv-
ing lately, after having stood still for
about a year, and he will be hard
man for the public court experts to
beat in future.
In the other semi-final match Carl
Gardner and Robert Whitney will be
the contestants. Gardner is a young
player who until recently has attracted
but little attention. In the last month
or two he has beaten some good men
and is playing a fine tournament game.
His opponent is an old player who has
seen his best days and it is doubtful if
he can take Gardner's measure in his
present condition. The Whitney of old
would have no difficulty beating such
men as are in the first class, but he is
not playing the game he did once. The
semi finals will be played at 10:30 and
the finals at 2:30.
In the second class but one match re-
mains to be played. and it should prove
a good one. Horace Mann and Fred
Adams will meet and they are so even
ly matched it would be hard to pick the
winner. Adams is erratic and cannot
be depended upon, while Mann plays a
steady game and is always good for
about so much. He should beat Adams.
Mann is the only ambidextrous PLAYER
on the coast. He is naturally right
handed and learned to play the game
with that hand. He now PLAYS fully
as well if not better with his left hand
The third and fourth class matches
will not be much to look at, as the
players are possessed of but little skill.
They are evenly matched, however.
and what they lack in skill they make
up for in enthusiasm.
The twentieth annual tournaments
for the championship of Southern Cali
fornia will be held on the new courts
at Pasadena next week. The tourna-
ments have always been held at SanNa
Monica, but the new courts are better
and will be given a trial Earlier in
the year four of the local players ex-
pected to go south ana try for the
