Exact Obedience.

Native servants in India have the
generally desirable though sometimes
inconvenient virtue of the Chinese
doing exactly as they are told. The
trouble is that they seldom use judg

India, had ordered his man to prepare
his bath at certain hour. one day y

THAT COTTON SCANDAL,
Need of Law to Punish Men Who Be.
tray Official Confidence

The worst phase Of the scandal in
the agricultural department is not in
the discovery that one Of its employees
has been making profitable specula-
tons in the crop reports, says the
Philadelphia Record. That has long
been suspected. What is really sur
prising Is that the man Holmes has
merely been dismissed with the ex-
PLANTATION Of Secretary Wilson that he
can be subjected to no other punish
ment In this view the secretary for
titles himself with an opinion Of the
attorney general.
1t is rather strange that a sworn
official intrusted with important docu-
mentary information cannot be pun
ished for pervertlng it to dishonest
uses. 1t Is still more strange that he
cannot be criminally prosecuted for
his fraudulent alterations Of the crop
reports In his hands. BY his dismiss
sal Holmes merely loses the oppor-
tunity Of making more profits in man
ufacturing the crop reports for specu-
lative uses. But the game was up.
He had already earned so much by
his crooked practices that the salary
was Of small consideration to him.
There is no doubt that this affair
will lead to thorough investigation
Of the agricultural department in the
next session Of Congress. From an
inconsiderable office 1t has grown into
great government machine with an
endless reduplication Of bureaus os-
tensibly occupied with all sorts of
scientific Investigations. 1t would be
unjust to deny that the department
has conveyed to the public some useful
facts, but these are rare grains in an
intOlerable waste of chaff. Members
Of Congress have again and again in
Weighed against the abuses Of its ad-
ministration and demanded reform
But it has proved too convenient IN
providing places for needy partisan
and personal dependents to be ser-
ously disturbed. A thorough hvesti-
cation will show that there are other
matters connected with the depart
ment deserving public attention be-
sides the Holmes scandal.

DUE TO Be known
Developments IN RAILROAD Sit.
UATION EXPECTED.
Renewed Activity In Seattle and
Tacoma Tide Lands Cause Of
Many RumOrS-OptIOnS Are for
Short Time, so Advancement Is
Anticipated Soon.

Seattle, Dot. 4.-Developments in
the railroad situation in Seattle are ex-
pected to be made public in few days
that will demonstrate beyond doubt the
fact that representatives Of the Harri-
man interests are obtaining options on
Seattle tide lands as we'll as the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul.
There has been considerable, activity
in Seattle tide lands ever since the op-
ton WAS taken on block 1856, the COM
pleted sale of which was announced
Saturday at price CLOSE to $500, 900.
Immediately following this announce
ment there was a wild scramble for
properties adjacent. 1t has since trans
pired, however, that options are being
obtained on large tracts Of property on
the tide lands, and important individ-
ual transactions are taking place daily.
Local dealers decline to give out any
particulars, save in few cases where
sales have been made to small specu-
lators.
Hartman representatives have al.
ready secured options on valuable
properties in Tacoma, and these op-
tions expire next Tuesday. The price
to be paid for one tract is $3.50, 900, if
the options held are exercised, and the
holders are Portland parties.
The options said to have been given
on tide lands in Seattle are nearly all
short term, and it is expected that the
movement will crystalline before the
week is over. A condition precedent
to the taking Of options by the parties
is that no information be given to the
public until authorized by the prospec-
tive purchasers.

Japan will send a ship direct to the

"POlLY PORTER"
A Parrot Who Never Forgot What He
Once Had Learned.

chatters in sentences; laughs aloud,
Historically; calls, in various tones,
commandingly or beseechingly; calls
the names of servants who, but for
Polly, would have been forgotten; calls
the cat; whistles for dogs who were
about him years ago
Polly's cage is in the bow window
Of the dining rOOm-a good place for
keeping an eye on the family. When
the father rises from the breakfast
table Polly advises: Hurry! Hurry
up. Hurry"
Later, with the first movement pre-
paratory to the children's start for
school, he repeats sharply: -Aurry
up. Hurry up! Hurry"
When guest comes in he says
briskly, why, how dye do?"
When he calls "Good-by" to per-
sons passing on the street it seems al
most certain that he reasons about
the coming and departing guest. He
quickly notices little children; COM
ing to one particular corner Of the
bottom of his cage, he fiutters before
a little one attempting baby talk,
which is very funny, ending with
Beautiful child! Beautiful child"
and loud laugh.

to telling tales. saying, "Ah. ah!

a bunch Of grapes, holding it down
with one claw while with the other
and his beak he opens grape after
grape, eats the seed and casts the pulp
away. He easily brushes pear or an
apple to get at the seeds.
Last Christmas Polly was sent by
his owner, a New York boy, to friends
as a present. They were told of his
liveliness and astonishing powers of
speech.
For some months Polly moped and
said nothing, but at last began calling
members Of the family by name. II

last summer.
