Elmer Dotson Of Sanborn has Sc
cured position as grain buyer for
milling company at Kuhn, North
Dakota, and has already gone to
that place to commence work. The
departure of Elmer takes a good
baseball player out of Sanborn.
Boyd, a town on the st. aouis.
west OF here, has let the contract
for a system OF water works ID that
town to cost SIS, ZOO. The system is
to be known as the compressed air
system and work on the new plant
was commenced on Oct. 18th.
Dan Whetston Of the Franklin
Tribune goes into the air because
resident of that town, owing large
number of Franklin firms, quietly
disposed of all of his property, re-
pudlated his obligations. and then
took the Nelson cure-the bank
ruptcy course.
The Mankato Free Press says
that Mrs. Sweet and daughter of
San born, who have been stranded
at this place for several days, were
sent from there to New Richland.
The chief of polices bought her a
ticket to that place and it is report
ed that She has relatives there. It
is said that her husband is in Hud-
son, Wis, and that he is following
the barbering trade.
Gen. Kuropatkin Klause, chief of
police OF New Ulm, who threatened
to thrash Attorney Somerville be-
cause the latter called him liar,
got the best of the Northwestern
Telephone construction crew in
that town recently, by having the
members all pulled for obstructing
the streets. They were fined. Tt
appears that Kurapatkin was coast
ing down the hill and failed to turn
out OF the way of the wire and it
caught his wheel amid ships, in
juring him fore and aft and warp
ing his dignity from stem to gud-
geon. To this instance he did not
feel that it was necessary for the
county attorney to swear out a war
rant for the arrests of the suspects,
but to make sure that be got I'll g
right man had the whole crew ar
rested.
John Cownie, an expert on corn
raising in Iowa, says that the state
loses 100000 bushels of corn
each year in The selection of seed.
He says that the Almighty could
not raise good crop of corn even
in Iowa with the kind of seed corn
the Iowa farmer uses. I'm round
numbers the corn fields of Iowa
will aggregate 100000 acres the
present season and, no matter what
the yield may be, no person well
informed on this subject will deny
that with good seed the average
yield would have increased from
| five to eight bushels per acre, and
we have as the result of the neglect
| to secure seed corn last fall clear
loss of $4,000, 900 bushels in the
1905 corn crop Of Iowa. At As cents
per buseel, the present price of
corn, the state will lose $26, $50, 900
this enormous sum lost through
downright negligence loss that
could have been prevented by Sc
curing seed corn in a proper man
ner. Added to this will be the loss
sustained by immature corn on ac-
count of replanting, aggregating
several millions more, and all this
loss because too many of the farm
ers' of Iowa select their seed corn
in the spring instead of in the fall
of the preceding year.

poRTLAND's MORAL BACKING.

In speaking of the efforts of the
people of Lewiston to secure a boat
line for the upper Columbia and Snake
rivers, the oregonian assures the pro-
moters that they have Portlands
MORAL BACKING.
This is about all the Inland Empire
has ever received from Portland. and
yet that city is the beneficiary of every
industry inaugurated or developed in
the Inland Empire.
Portland citizens talk about devel-
oping self-confidence in the Inland
Empire by forming boat lines among
local capitalists, and learning to stand
alone, instead of leaning upon Port
land. OF course they would like very
much to escape taking any risk ii.
starting a new enterprise in the In
land Empire. They have long veri-
fled this disposition.
But after the people, staggering un-
der the load of freight rates and job
bers' profits, make a start in installing
new enterprises, then Portland is will
ling to be the beneficiary. She re-
ceives all the transportation charges.
all the warehouse charges, all the
transfer charges, from the railroad to
the vessel, all the commission charges,
all the banking exchanges, all the in
surance, tighterage to the ocean and
every other toll laid upon the outgo-
| ing products of the Inland Empire.
Yet her idle capital says for the In
land Empire to lean upon itself. 1t
assures the helpless country districts.
that they have Portlands MORAL
BACKING in carrying all their bur-
dens laid upon them by Portland.
1t is time for Portland to quit this
silly palaver about moral backing for
the Inland Empire. The Inland Em-
pire has made Portland. All her COM
mercial supremacy on the northwest
coast is founded upon the productive
ness and patience of the Inland En-
pire and yet that vast section, teeming
with natural resources and pulsing
with unborn riches, is told by Portland
capital to learn to lean upon itself.
Portland has enough idle capital ly-
ing in her vaults to make of the In
land Empire the most marvellous sec
ton of homes and wealth in the United
States. Yet all Portland does is to col
lect regularly from the Inland Empire
and tell it to learn to lean upon itself

Everybodys Magazine for May, now
just out, contains one of the most
thorough and dramatic articles upon
the land frauds of the Northwest
which has yet been published. 1t is
written by Bailey Millard, and is IL
lustrated by numerous photographs,
including those of Jesse d. Carr, who
fenced thousands of acres of pubic
land in southern Oregon, Senator
Mitchell, Benson, Hyde and Henry
Miller. of the firm of Lux & Miller,
whose land comprises a section of
country three times as large as the
state of New Jersey. The frontlspiece
for the number is an excellent photo
graph of Francis ]. Heney, prosecu-
tor of the land thieves. The article
should be preserved as historical mat
ter by every young oregonian who
wishes to profit by the example of the
old ring now before the bar Of jus
tice in this state.

WINTER IN THE ANTARCTIC.

Some details of remarkable story
of privation have recently been made
public by the commander. of the re-
cent Swedish expedition to the south
polar regions. The three men who
shared the hardships of that dreadful
antarctic winter were DR.. j. Gunnar
Anderson and two of the ships men
who left the steamer in an endeavor
to reach by sledge DR.. Nordenskiolds
camp, $50 miles to the southwest.
Sledging proved to be exceedingly
difficult, and by the time the little
party reached land their strength and
resources were nearly exhausted.
The twilight was lengthening, the
long night would soon fall, and they
knew that IL they tried to make the
march Of 100 miles southwark they

"NOT GUILTY''-BUT CAUTIOUS.

The defense of Mitchell and Her
mann is founded wholly upon a quib
bling over empty and questionable
technicalities.
While Senator Mitchell demanded
and received an early trial, yet he is
making every effort to prevent his
case from coming to trial. Instead
of going into court with line of de-
fense that would convince the people
of his innocence, he does not present
a case at ALL but spars over the veriest
technicalities, which will lead many of
his supporters to finally believe in his
guilt.
The contention that the grand jury
was irregularly organized will not be
substantiated, because man who is
well versed in criminal proceedings as
Mr. Heney would not have assembled
grand jury about which there could
be the least shadow of a doubt.
The defendants have said that they
are not guilty; if not, then they are
very, very cautious. Innocence does
not shrink from the light of investiga-
tion. a guiltless man would not stop
to ask whether his accuser made his
accusations standing up or sitting
down, but would deny the charge and
proceed to disprove it.

would certainly perish. There was
to do but to go into camp and
live out the winter somehow or other.
They had about three weeks supply
of food, three sleeping-bags, a piece
of tarpaulin and a tent. a few knives
and cooking utensils, one needle, and
nothing to wear but summer clothing.
They put up their tent and encr-
cled it with stone wall. over the
whole they spread their tarpaulin.
When the snow came it covered all
save the entrance. They We're thus
able throughout the winter to keep an
average temperature of only a little
blow the freezing point
Within "a few miles there were
plenty of penguins to be shot, and by
the time the winter night had fairly
fallen the had killed and frozen about
400 of these birds.
Penguins are not good eating, but
they were the staff of life to those
three men that winter eked out by a
mouthfu or two of bread each day a
bite, now and then of preserved meat,
and the flesh of seals occasionally
killed for oil. Every one has heard
of the revulsion of stomach and
nerves from which men suffer when
they try to eat quail a day for 80
days. 1t can be imagined, then, that
nothing but the fear of death would
drive them to eat the coarse and
greasy penguin every day for seven
months. The accomplishment of the
feat shows what men can do when
necessity drives.
But the hardest part of their lot
after all was the protracted confine-
ment during the long, stormy winter
Seal blubber was too scarce to be used
excepting when the meals were to be
cooked, and so for days at time, the
three men curled up in their sleeping
bags in pitchy darkness with nothing
to do but listen to the bowling of the
polar storm. For seven long months
they led such life.
When the spring came they founc
their way to the camp. They were Sc
changed that Nordenskiold did no
recognize them until they told thei1
names. They were black as Goa
from head to foot, with long blacl
hair hanging down over their shoul
ders. The dogs took fright at the for
bidding black creatures, and bolteC
every direction.
A full description of their expert
ences will be Of service to future ex
plorers in distress during the surve!

The tbeater-goers of Pendleton who
have witnessed the exceedingly poor
line of companies sent to this city dur
ing the theatrical season just closed,
by the Northwestern theatrical trust,
should register an emphatic kick
against any such line for the coming
year There is no city in the North
west which patronizes the good COM
panies better than Pendleton and it is
a shame for the city to be in the
clutches of a trust which abuses every
opportunity given 1t by its combina-
ton. Pendleton theater lovers are en-
titled to the best there is on the road,
and Pendleton being at the junction
of the Spokane branch and on the
main line of the Hartman system, is
in position to secure all the best COM
panies without extra travel or ex-
pense. and the trust should be notified
now. while it is making up the lists
for the coming year, that better class
of shows is emphatically demanded.
II this is not done, next winter will
perhaps witness a string of cheap vau-
deville, such as is given at five and
ten cents in the cities of the sound and
in Portland. Now is the time to write
letters of protest to John cort' man
ager of the Northwest circuit, Seattle.

MUSICAL HAWAIIAN NAMES.

Probably the longest name that
ever dazed a printer, according to a
writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
was appended to a letter recently re-
ceived by Governor Carter, af Hawaii.
The writer urged that the "crown
lands" be not given to ex-Queen Lillu-
okalani. The letter winds up in this
fashion: 81 am the, Hawaiian woman
that hoisted the American flag when
the Hawaiian flag was lowered. and
was the one who made a speech at
the time the judge sailed on the Ala
media last year. 1 am yours, Kaanaa-
namokaueahaikukawaikamookahi Ke-
amokuhalepohai."

Drunkenness and dissipation among
school boys in Pendleton has been
more prevalent during the past winter
than ever before. 1t has required
more activity on the part of the city
marshal and school officers to keep
pupils away from saloons than ever
before in the history of Pendleton
public schools. The East Oregonian
has an explanation for this state of
affairs, which it believes is logical
and true. It is this: Because of the
radical opposition of certain school
patrons to the numerous school socie-
ties-literary, musical and athletic,
maintained and encouraged by Prof.
f. B. Conklin, in the high school
grades. these societies have been en-
tirely abandoned during the past win
ter and as the young men had moth
ing of an elevating nature to keep
them employed evenings, they have
naturally drifted with the crowd and
have become frequent visitors at sa-
looms. Had there been no opposition
to the school entertainments and So
oieties which Prof Conklin has made
a part of his training, heretofore, this
crusade against selling minors and
school boys liquor would not have beer
necessary. It is a matter that is wor'
thy of the attention Of the schoo
board.

Although the attorneys are divid-
ed upon the meaning of the supreme
court decision declaring that Indians
are citizens and are entitled to the eft
izen's "booze. yet there is a state law
prohibiting the sale of liquor to Indi-
ans which is even more severe than
the federal statutes on the subject. All
good citizens will still insist on the
suppression of the traffic and the pun
ishment of the offenders. The decis-
ion of court does not reduce the peril
of the drunken Indian.

We called in to see how the r.

sandwich) at 10 a. m. on Sundays
and Mr.. Haley talked to them of
the true success, the way to find
it and the easy and only way and
all were Interested because src-
cess in life is what everyone Graves

interested; we tarried for a lit

color and sweetness. The deepest
and most profound 'reverance is
manifested by the worshippers and
it is very restful and Smoothing in
its tendency-no furry or futter all

presses one at once. The singing
was melody, and a violin solo was
beyond our words in point of
beauty. That church is a picture
indeed.
After that we listened to Bishop
Restarick; he urges decidedly to
believe in God, have faith in His
promises and go forward though
even clouds and darkness are round
about in other words not to look
for fair weather always or smooth
seas for breakers will sooner or lat

after getting our lunch we said
the forenoon's time had not been
wasted.

On Friday we were at both the
Young and the Hawaiian enough
long to take a few notes of things
about us. We really cannot see
fault in either or in the really
royal and sumptuous and most
perfect housekeeping of these de-
lightful inns of central Honolulu.
1t seems almost a marvel that
gentlemen like Messrs. Lake and
Church should be here just at this
crucial time, so to speak,
when skill and tact are needed to
suit and entice and attract the
tourists of the world, men
and women who know an ex-
ira good thing in the way of
entertaining, men of means and of
culture who have been and who are
travellers in the largest sense and
that will meet others and tell them
of our attractive land and homes.
Nowhere in the wide world is
more pleasing entertainment than
these hostelries have known in the
past few months. Never has there
been anything to compare with it
in the Islands before. Why? Be-
cause the resources are many times
more. Look at Our imports for a
dinner to-day. The music is
finer, the flowers are more varied,
the settings and furniture and
lights and transportation and vehi-
Giles and horses are not the same of
Eye olden time" but in every point
compare with New York or Hyde
Park or Champ Elysee. o yes,
we are at the food-tide of beauty
and comfort, and daintiest fairy
land, in our two mid-city hotels.
And we speak straight facts, no
circumlocution ("I guess") with
us. And who would like if he
could (dare) to stop our pencil?

The Republican legislature was pledged to
the enactment Of certain railway legislation
and the legislators fulfilled the pledge ac-
cordingly to the wishes of their constitu-
ency. The commission law and anti-pass law
are both so sound as to be impervious to at
tack by the most alert leaders Of the oppos-
ing party. 1t is matter Of pride to every
loyal Republican that these laws, much
needed and long demanded by the people,
are the fruits Of the efforts of legislative
body that was overwhelmingly Republican
in it's personnel. The people were not be-
trayed and duty shirked, as by the fusion
legislature assembled to right all of the ex-
isting evils during the heyday of Populism
in 1896.
But the work of the Republican party is
not yet done Laws are useless when not
properly enforced. The party must see to
it that the officers who are paid to enforce
these laws are not derelict in their duty
The laws enacted by our state legislatures
show for themselves and indicate that about

the only hope of reform legislation lies with
the Republican party. Men who feel deeply
timents, free from political bias must admit
this to be fact
But it must not be forgotten that the en-
actment of railway legislation is only the
fulfllment Of apart of the duty obligatory
upon the party. The railway commissioners
must stand for what is right. The people
demand it and the pledge must be fairly met.
