CANADA'S CENTENARIAN.

The Canadian senate boasts the
oldest legislator in the British en-
pire. He is David Wark of Frederic
ton, n. b.. and Canada has reason to
be proud of this wonderful old gem
tleman. Senator Wark presents a
striking figure in the capital He
has the appearance of having once
possessed a powerful frame. His hair
is white and his head is slightly bow
ed by the weight of years. He has
wonderful blue eyes and aristocratic
features, making him one of the rare
men that, once seen, are never for
gotten. Senator Wark attributes his
long, unbroken life of health to tenn
perate habits. He detests liquor. He
detests tobacco and has never smoked
His motto, early to bed and early
to rise" is an imperative injunction
in his life. Almost throughout his
entire life Senator Wark took only
two meals daily, and those have been
always of frugal character.-Ber-
narr McF'adden.

OPEN A ROAD TO THE RANGE.


Senator Fulton can do Umatilla
county and the Umatilla Indian an
infinite amount of good by securing
the repeal or revocation of the ruling
that taxes sheepmen 81 per head for
alleged trespass in crossing reserva-
tion lands in going to and coming
from the summer ranges with their
herds.
This ruling was never intended for
use, and yet it remains in force and
Is constant menace to the welfare
OF the Indian.
There is state law against tres
pass, and that should be sufficient
both for the Indians protection and
the white mans guidance, even
though the reservation is under fed
eral control.
The Indian knows that this ruling
is in force, and yet he rarely, if ever.
sees it enforced. This causes him to
lose respect for all other federal laws.
He becomes insolent and offensive
without cause, and thinks the gov
eminent will support him in forcibly
expelling white mems stock from the
reservation range, while he claims
unlimited license to run scabby cay
uses promiscuously all over the white
mans holdings ana is deeply Offend
ed If it is suggested that he remain
en- his own ground.
The future welfare of the Indian
depends on his association with and
imitation of the white man and his
customs. If he is forced to remain
on the reservation he will not get this
benefit, and his progress will be ham
dicapped.
The Indian must get away from the
idea that laws in his favor are to be
enforced and that laws restricting
him and regulating his conduct are
to be ridden down with fmpunity
THIS idea is prevalent among the
Umatillas and perhaps among all
other reservation tribes.
II the government hopes to civil
ize the Indian and make him useful
to himself, it must quit pampering
him and make him know that he is
on an equality with the white man,
and that his own conduct must be
regulated toward the whites, as well
as the whites conduct toward him.
II this ruling forbidding sheep to
pass over the reservation is not mod
ified. great injury will be done UNA
tilla county stockmen and greater in
jury will be done the Indian, because
the stockmen will see that both sides
Of the federal rulings are enforced
and the Indian will,be confined to the
reservation. -
Nothing more serious could happen
To the ,Umatillas. than this. Their
very best progress is made through
association with, the whites and no
crisis should arise that would restrict

misunderstanding of the meaning
of the Australian ballot law caused
the republicans to lose seven of the
eight electoral votes of Maryland.
Fully one-half of the republican
voters of that state voted cross
opposite the name of the first elector
under the republican column on the
ballot and consequently elected this
one man. owing to this mistake
enough democratic ballots were
marked properly to elect seven DEM
ocratic electors, when the state would
have carried overwhelmingly for
Roosevelt, but for this grievous mis-
take of republican voters. 1t should
be still more difficult to mark a
straight party ticket correctly The
more mental effort required to vote,
the better fitted will the voter be-
come to cast ballot.

eighteen Of the cases the murderers were killed at the time of the crime. four were shot by officers making ar rests, leaving 1O6 cases for the police to handle. Out of these only thirty-four convictions were had; in nineteen. cases no arrests were made; in fifty-three cases the arrests did not result in con- viction. The conclusion is inexorable. Not only do our cities have more mur- ders than the European cities, but we fall far short of their ability in search ing out and punishing the crime.
 Since 1881 there have been no less than l29.OOO homicides in the United States, Tn 1881 the total number was 1.26s; in 1903 1t was s,s7O. Comparing the crimes with the number of the pop ulation, we find that in 1881 there was one murder for each 4O,oOO of popula- tion, whereas in 1903 there was one murder for each $500 of population. Put in another way, there were twenty four murders for each million of inhab- itants in 1881, as against 112 murders for each million in 1903

LUCK IN NAMING BOATS.

Maine ship owners and masters are among the most level-headed men in the world, but they still cling to certan queer beiiefs. One os their pet notions is that a vessel takes after the per son sor whom she is named.
 There's tht old Hannah-.' said a Bangor ship owner. Now, she was named after New York woman who was a great spert-a woman who followed the races and bet lots of money on horses and all kinds of sport ing events.
 First, this woman would be on top, financially, winning every time she risked wad of money. Then she would have loosing streak, and would get so much run down that she have to pawn her diamonds and even some of her clothes.
 Its just the way with the schooner named after hel, and always has been. First she will make lot of good trips one after the other, and pile up money Tor the owners. Then she will have a streak of the cussedess luck that ever fell to vessel, and therell be assess ments on the owners to pay her bills l don't know what became of the New York sporting lady, but I'll bet d hun. dred that the schooner'H wind up the same way.
 Then there's the William --, used to hail from Calais. She was named after an old fellow who made a lot oi money and had some left to him.. He had only one fault, and that was lie crooked his elbow too often. Oh, he'd get awful drunk about once every three months, and once year, regular he'd go down onsa spree that would lay him up.
 Now just look at the way the yes sel named after him has been doing. She will make one trip month from here to the Sound and back, and two trips running she will make. money. The third trip she will lose a few sails, just enough to take the profits off, and come back looking kinder used up.
 Then once year, regular as Christi mas comes, she will have a bowling old time strike somewhere, or get run into, or something. and she'n come home wreck, and have to be fixed up. Same way as the old fellow she was named after. I believe he died in d hospital, and I guesss that will be the finish of the schooner

New Haven Eagles. and Indeed all Eagles, will be interested in the some what tragic story which leaks out of MiddIetown in this State According to this story, Aiiddletown Eagles have been flying pretty high. John Hum of Middletown wanted to be an Eagle. He apparently became one. At least enough seems to have been done to him to make him some kind of bird. He ayers that in making, or trying to make an Eagle out of him. the letters IF. o. E. were tattooed on his stomach, that he was cuffed and thrown about the room by means of straps with handles fastened about his body, and that he was also jerked about by long ropes after the manner of cowboys in hand ling refractory steer. He also com- plains that the fragments of his right arm were torn at the elbow during this alleged rough handling so that he has been unable to use the arm since.
 So Brother Hum has charged several enthusiastic Eagles with assault and battery. Perhaps he will be charged with not being game enough to be a good Eagle. It will be interesting to notice the outcome of the affair. It seems to be pretty clear that man who aspires to be an Eagle shouldn't be torn apart in the process of making him one, for that would certainly im- pair his flying ability, and what is an Eagle if he can't fly high and look the sun in the face?
