LET PORTAGE ROAD CONTRACT
This is the Day Set by the Association
for the Important Event.

Ihls is the Jay Set by the Association
for the Important Event.
The contract for the portage road
will be let by Monday at the very latest
and the work will commence on it in
as short time as is possible for the con-
tractor to assemble his forces and ma
terial for the task, says the Oregonian.
The deeds have been secured from
the O. r. & N. company for the right
of way and sent to the governor of Ore
gon for his approval and the concur
fence of the other members of the port
age road commission.
There Is good deal of curiosity as to
who the contractor will be. At the
meeting of last Saturday it was stated
that a contractor acceptable both to the
commission and the open river assoc
ition had been found. Who this was
is not stated, but rumor has it
that the McCabe Contracting com
pany of Walla Walla will be the
lucky firm to carry off the plum. A.
j. McCabe, one of the members of that
firm, IS now in Portland and has been
there for several days. 1t is reported
that he has satistisd the board and the
association that his firm is able to
carry out the work quickly, cheaply
and we'll The firm has done great
deal of work similar to the kind nee
essary in the construction o: the port.
age road, and if the contract is given
to it, will be able to do the work ac-
ceptably to both parties concerned in
its construction.
1t is thought that the middle of De.
cember will see the construction work
in full swing.

present disturbance, had sailed from
Port Said for a Russian port, carry
ing with her the munitions which
Great Britain says were for a British
garrison.
Russia defends her act of passing
the volunteer ships through the Oar
danelles by saying that before the
war she sent them that way to the
Far East loaded with troops, arms,
and munitions, and she sees no reason
why she should not do it now. She
adds that England is always protest
ing at Constantinople, though for
many years the protests have been
entirely disregarded and long ago lost
their Importance.
England, on the other hand, is
quite frank in acknowledging that
the orders moving the Mediterranean
squadron to Alexandria were for the
specific purpose of commanding the
Suez Canal and the Dardanelles. The
tone of the English press is distinctly
warlike, and popular feeling is an
mistakably in favor of furnishing
what is regarded as Russia's violation
of treaties and piratical attacks on
British commerce.
Certainly, if Russian diplomacy is
bent upon bringing on a conflict with
Great Britain, either for the purpose
of crawling out of the japanese hole
with good grace by getting France
and Germany as well as itself en-
broiled with Great Britain, it could
scarcely have played the game with
more deliberate purpose. The official
answer of the Russian government TO
the official protest of Sir Charles
Hardinge, the British ambassador at
st. Petersburg, against the seizure OF
the Malacca and her stores, will
definitely determine what the Rus
sian policy really is.

''KickeI" Presents a Remedy.

To the Editor of the Washington Times:
Your article on children's Fairgrounds
shows up the difficulties as well as the
benefits of establishing that institution.
I fully agree with you that children
ought 10 have some place TO amuse
themselves in the open air. Allow me,
however. 10 put in word or two in
behalf OF the much-abused kicker. In
a city in this latitude, where doors and
windows must be open day and night
for half the year. the noise made by
troop of children directly N front OF
ones residence is an annoyance which
must be considered like any other
noise, a disadvantage. So far as I
know. people who find II an annoyance
do not settle If they can help II, in a
street full of children. The way out OF
the trouble. il seems TO me. would 30
TO separate the families where there
are children and the families where
there are not. so far as possible, espe-
cially by keeping children out Of apart
ment houses. Then, with play grounds
judiciOusly placed in neighborhoodS
where children abound, everybody ought
70 be satisfied. a KICKER.

Meat Strike Settlement.

The terms on which the employees
of the meat trust return to work
pending arbitration of the wage scale
for unskilled labor are regarded as
victory for the men. The strike was
the result of the reduction of the
wages of this class from 1914 cents an
hour to from Is to 1754 cents
When arbitration was first consid-
cred, the trust demanded that the I'M
skilled workmen should take the re-
duced scale while the arbitrators
were considering the merits of the
case. The strikers yielded this point.
Then the employers said that they
would not take the men back in a
body, nor promise jobs to all who
struck. This point the union refused
to yield
According to the agreement arrived
at last night. the men will return TO
work at the wages they were receiv-
ing when they went on strike.
Questions regarding wages and work
ing conditions will be finally settled
by an arbitration board composed Of
three practical packing-house men.
The packers will reinstate all men
who went on a strike without dis
elimination within forty-five days.
The demand that the strikers make
their applications for reinstatement
as individuals is waived by the pack
ers, who thereby recognize the union.
What influences have led the
packers to this sudden change OF
front will probably never be definite
ly known, but there is likely at least
an element of truth in the suggestion
that the guiding hand OF practical
politics was not far away from the
helm. With qualification over the
settlement the public at large owe it
to themselves TO consider seriously
whether they are willing that the
meat trust should continue to hold
the power over the people shown dur
ing the last seven days.
The charges made by Western cat
tlemen that the injunction which re-
strains the packers from fixing prices
fer producer and consumer and &C
cepting railroad rebates has been vio-
lated for months, should be suscepu-
bic of proof With the strike and the
that it brought still
fresh in the public mind, with the
high prices that Will 'assuredIy follow
the strike. depicting the public purse,
what better time could there be for
the Administration TO force to the
limit the investigation of meat trust
methods demanded by the Western
cattlemen?

Folk Nominated.

On a platform which declares that
the hope of the Democratic party in
Missouri lies in driving from its
ranks all cOrruptiOnists and bOodlers,
Joseph w Folk has been unanimous
ly nominated as the Democratic can
didate for governor Of the State.
That he VIII be elected is a foregone
conclusion.
This stirring demonstration of the
power of good over evil is indeed
cheering, and it places political OPP
timism several points higher in the
scale of progress. 1t is a rebuke to
every complacent citizen in every
State in the land-the honest men
who excuse themselves by saying that
the ring and the boss have all the
power, and that it is useless to fight
them.
Missouri was with Pennsylvania in
the class of machine-controlled com
munities when Mr.. Folk as district
attorney began a lone campaign
against corruption. Unlike Jerome,
OF New York. Folk knew how to say
nothing while he was saving wood
With the official machinery Of the
State arrayed against him and even
the courts blocking him as far as they
dared, he gathered his evidence, in
dicted both bribe-takers and bribe-
givers, and convicted those who did
not clear out.
Good citizens may innOcently be
wrong. but the federation Of known
abuses is criminal" declares the plat
form upon which Mr.. Folk will stand
for the suffrages of the people of his
State 1t is a worthy declaration. In
a country where good men vote and
are in the vast majority it is absurd
to say that good men have not the
power to choke corruption in town,
city, State, and nation. The reason
that they do not choke it is because
they are too lazy, too Indifferent, too
selfish to accept the responsibility of
self-gOyernment

person that in order to do any good,
public bath houses should be like
any other public building, Of the
most solid and firm construction. If
about half the stone work and solidi-
~ which is found in city halls and
such buildings, which are seldom
crowded, were used in building some
other structures which are nearly al
ways crowded, we should not look SO
foolish as We do in the eyes Of for
eign nations, when crowded buildings
come to pieces or take fire and kill a
few hundred people.

Those East Side Baths.

There has been an investigation of
those Seward Park baths, on the East
Side of New York, which had TO be
closed in four days because they were
no longer fit to be used by anybody;
and the trouble turns out 10 be not so
much Of the peoples making as was
supposed. IL is true that the bathers
did not always understand the ma
chinery. and as they came at the rate
of two or three hundred a day-only
ten minutes could be allowed each
bather-it is easy to see that a small
percentage Of careless or mischievous
bathers could do a good deal of dam
age. But the main trouble turns out
10 be with the construction of the
building.
1t appears that the sewer pipes
which let the water off were alto
gether too small, and chat only the
greatest care and intelligence could
have prevented disaster when so
many people were using the baths.
1t is as plain as the nose on an ele-
plants face that this abnormal de-
gree Of carefulness could not be ex-
pected of an ordinary crowd, on the
East Side or anywhere else. The
joke-and a very expensive joke it is
likely 10 prove-seems TO be on the
city, which would allow jerry-build-
ing in work like this. which was in,
tended TO be permanent.
1t should be clear 10 any intelligent

every parent in Washington IL is time
for people TO realize the position of the
boy IN a city where he cannot play in
the street. in a vacant lot, or anywhere
else without arousing protests from
somebody There is something wrong
with a boy who never wants TO run and
shout. play ball. wrestle. and act like
a young savage generally To suppress
these instincts in boys is to do harm
TO the coming generations, and if play
grounds can be established in which the
Youngsters can have freedom and dis
