THE HORRORS OF WAR.
Pathetic and Tragic Incident of the
Struoule Before Metz.

Struqqle Before Metz.
II the course of the giant struggle
before Metz a handful Of chasseurs
flung themselves into small red roof
ed farmhouse, determined to sell their
lives dearly. They barricaded the
ground floor as strongly as they were
able and from the upper story opened
fire on their assailants. For nearly
two hours the Prussians were kept at
bay. The storm Of rifle bullets riddled
the roof and upper walls, and finally,
one by one, the chassepots were silenc-
ed. Concluding that the ammunition
of the little. stronghold had at length
been exhausted and prepared for
savage hand to hand tussle with the
garrison, the Prussians burst through
the barricade and effected an entrance,
To their amazement the ground floor
was unoccupied save for a little girl of
five, who looked up into their faces
with a smile Of happy unconcern. She
had been playing with her doll and
evidently thought that the heavy fir
Il
ing had been an odd new game which
the "grownups" had been having es-
pecially for her amusement. AS the
big blue eyed sergeant caught her up
in his arms and kissed her she, asked,
with an air of disappointment, why
they had stopped the pretty "boom
BOOM" Through the terrible death
wrestle Of two mighty nations this
happy little house mother had been
pleasantly absorbed in family cares:
The wrath of kings the savagery or
ancient race hatreds, were things she
could not understand; even the hurri-
cane Of fire and lead had seemed to her
but such strange elemental music as
the wren in it's nest hears when a
thunder shower swoops over the wood
| land.
A ladder led to the upper floor Of the
| farmhouse, and when the conquerors
asce nded they found among the wreck
age Of shattered roof and crumbling
walls the rest of the garrison-no more
than nine in all-lying dead. Beside
them lay the mother Of the child with
! a chassepot still clutched in her hand.

In full and many a lover has looked at
that circle and prayed for happiness
like theirs. You can see there new

Phil looked at the freshly cut circle

The ROAD TO HEAvEN.-Senator
Davis of Minnesota told this one
concerning Bishop Whipple, the ven-
erable "St. John of the Frontier" says
the Los Angeles Times In a passen-
ger coach going into Dakota territory
the bishop sat reading the morning
newspaper, and the second seat be-
fore him sat an infidel who was loudly
proclaiming his antipathy to the Bible
and everything believed by religious
people. He said he would dare to
meet any priest, prophet or pope in
discussion, and loudly proclaimed:
IF I. could meet old Bishop Whipple,
I'd ask at least one question he
couldn't answer"
II am old Bishop Whipple," said
the venerable apostle to the Indians,
as he dropped his newspaper, TASK
me your question now"
The fellow was startled, but soon
recovered and said: "Well, bishop,
as saving souls is in your line, I'd
like to know II you can tell me the
straight road to heaven"
THAT is very easy. indeed" re-
sponded the bishop with his sanity
smile. Turn to the right and go
straightforward"
And there was no further discus
sion, no further questions PROFOUND

The Democratic press over the
state, with very rare exceptions,
are condemning Governor Nc
Donald for vetoing House Bill 178,
or the railroad expansion bill.
Just why the Democrats favored
the bill is not clear, other than
that there has been considerable
Republican opposition manifested
The measure was at least in
favor of the Colorado & Southern
railroad company or else that
road would not have advocated
it so strongly. It must have al
lowed them greater power than
has heretofore been enjoyed by
the railroads under the laws of
the state, or its passage would
not have been necessary. -.

There was an even dozen women
granted divorces in a Denver
court recently in a single day. Most
Of these were granted for nom
support. 1t does seem that now
women have been granted equal
rights that they might support a
few of the beat Of US without
kicking over the traces. If these
things continue man may yet
have to clamor for equal suffrage.
After being granted the rights
heretofore enjoyed by man she
asks to be supported SO as to en-
joy those rights. Man in exer-
cising these privileges has most
times had to support himself

The Gunnison tunnel scheme is
being rapidly developed. The
canals win be completed this year,
and by the spring Of 1908 the
great six-mile tunnel will be
ready to furnish the farmers with
all Of the water they can use.
The tnnnel is now in more than
800 feet and the machinery for
pushing the work has already
arrived. Towns are springing
up at either end Of the tunnel
and by the time II Is finished that
whole district will have the ap-
pearance of . city - the land
will be SO valuable that it will be
cut up into small tracts and in

The railroad will be broad-gauged
and its rolling stock doubled to
handle the products. BY that
time a number of new sugar fac
tories will have been erected and
land values will quadruple in

be on the guard. 1t has yielded an
income of over 100000 to the state
since it was enacted. and every cent
of this income is paid by corporations
amply able to contribute to the re-
sources of the state.
other states have even more strin-
gent corporation laws than this. The
oregon law is very mild. No legiti-
mate corporation can find fault with
it.
Why don't the irrigation companies
that are being formed constantly in
Umatilla and other oregon counties
find fault with this tax law? Why
must the wildcat mining companies
be especially exempted from all the
burdens of government? They are
not the only developers at work in
Oregon. The irrigation companies
are doing ten-fold more vital work
for the state, and they are not COM
planning.
If the mining companies object to
the exactions of this law let them
reduce their capitalization to a legit-
innate basis, where the law will be no
bar to operations. The object of the
law is to make transient, foreign con-
Germs, highly capitalized and working
on fictitious values, to pay for the
privilege of existing in Oregon.
If they are legitimate, the opera
ton of the law will not hinder them
from doing business and if they are
not legitimate, they will not feel like
meeting its requirements, and the
quicker the bogus companies are
weeded out, the better for the bona
fide companies.
More harm has been done to Ore
gon through the vicious operations of
void cat mining companies which
have pilfered innocent eastern invest
ors, than through any land frauds
ever perpetrated in the state.
The land thieves have not direct
ly robbed individuals, but the opera
tions of the wildcat mining companies
have robbed poor men, enticed into
an investment by the seemingly hon
est representations of bogus promot-
ers, until the East looks upon this
state as a den of thieves. Enforce
the Eddy law, and protect the states
reputation.

BURNING COTTON.

this is not insane action, it is certain
ly establishing bad precedent.
Suppose the destruction of the ex-

should appreciate the value of the
staple? The very men who are now
applying the torch will, in that case,
be making strenuous effort within a
few months to increase their individ-
ual acreage of the crop of 1905.
This policy of destruction lacks
logic. Those who are now burning

1t looks as though the long agita-
ton by newspapers and prominent
citizens in this city would at last be
realized in the organization of a
county fair association. The agricul-
tural features must not be lost sight
of in the track and its equipment
There is a larger proportion of the
people interested in the agricultural
fair and its kindred features than in
straight speed program, in this
county The two features go togeth-
er, and in order to receive the great
est encouragement and support, and
in order for the organization to be a
pleasure and a profit to the greatest
number of people, both these features
must receive the fullest attention.
There is no reason why state aid
should not be given to the proper
kind of an organization in this coun-
ty. If the agricultural features are
not cast aside for the purely racing
programs, strong influences can be
brought to bear to make it q success.
If a strictly racing organization is de-
sired, the support must necessarily
be limited and its usefulness curtail-
ed. The people are ready to stand
solid for a fair association, and the
county will be greatly benefited by
such.

The attorney general of that state has
ordered the arrest of the representa-
tives of the Cudahy, Swift, Armour

a charge of conspiracy to control and
manipulate prices in the state. No
matter for lax federal laws and lag
gard federal officials, If the states
will follow Montana's example and
take the trust issue in their own
hands and make it unlawful for COM
binations to exist, the people can get
relief. There are thousands of ways

legislatures and courts would mani
fest the necessary backbone. Mon
tana is not counted among the purest
