cinating means of locomotion. Speed
and reliability trials have done great
deal to make motoring fashionable. and
in India, at any rate. there is a great fu-
ture before the automobile.

TWO WESTERN TRIUNIPHS.

The northwest states will celebrate
two historical events this week-the
opening of the Lewis and clark fair
tomorrow and the opening of the por-
tage road on Saturday.
The more vital event to the people
of this country is the lesser event,
which will be celebrated at Cello. on
Saturday, because it is to be a perma-
nent blessing, while the greater event
win be profitable and pleasant for
season and will then pass into history.
Standing on the rocky shore of the
Columbia at Cello, in celebration of
the opening of the portage road, the
pioneers in this open river movement
may well be blessed and crowned by
the people of the Inland Empire.
No one who has not shared the
struggle for river highway can un-
derstand the obstacles that have been
overcome in this triumph. For a
quarter of a century the corporations
have held the Inland Empire in their
grasp, have bought up and bulldozed
legislatures, congresses and politicians.
The people have heard promise after
promise made, and have suffered the
bitter disappointment of seeing those
promises broken and evaded.
At last through the persistence and
sacred patience of a few patriots, who
have spent their own money given
their time and energy, brains and
strength to this noble work, the gates
of the river are to be thrown open
and a highway to the sea declared
Let the Inland Empire rejoice ir
this triumph Let the PARROT pioneer:
who have toiled for these 25 years foi
the interests of this rich empire bt
crowned. 1t marks the beginning o
an epoch in the northwest.

THE WORTH OF TOLL.

The noblest men l know on earth,
Are men whose hands are brown
with toll:
Who, backed by no ancestral graves,
Hew down the woods and till the
soil,
And win thereby a prouder fame
Than follows kings or warriors
name.
The workingmen, whate'er their
task
To carve the stone or bear the hod-
They wear upon their honest brows
The royal seal and stamp of God!
And brighter are their drops of sweat
Than diamonds in coronet!
God bless the noble workingmen,
Who rear the cities of the plain,
Who dig the mines and build the ships
And drive the commerce of the
main.
God bless them! for their swarthy
hands
Have wrought the glory of our
lands.
The Technical World.

ONE ON JOE JEFFERSON.

The late Joseph Jefferson used to
say that about the most embarrassing
experience of his life befell in the Mills
building, Wall street, New York. While
waiting for an elevator one day a
stout little man wearing a full beard
approached and greeted him by
name. Mr.. jefferson responded pleas
antly. adding: 81 know your face per-
fectly, of course. but I can't place
you. 1 see many faces and I'm apt
to get confused in my study Of physi-
ognomy." The little. stout. compact
stranger smiled as he turned his cigar
in his mouth and said: I'm General
Grant" Jefferson always declared
, that he got out at the next landing
and walked down three flights OF
stairs to the street for fear he would
make himself additionally conspicu'
GUS by asking the gentleman II he hat
ever been in Washington, or IL he was
a veteran of the late war!

government and its efforts to clvilize
the Indian? What does he care for
depravity unspeakable I'm the presence
OF women and children? What does
he care for law or order, or decency,
or self respect? He is lower than the
drunken Indian because the Indian
has been reared in savagery and the
dive keeper had white mother per-
haps, and was born under some kind
Of a roof and heard some of the prin-
ciples of morality from some source,
when child.
The dive keeper knows the name of
every whiskey peddler in the city, and
cannot plead that he does not know
who sells whiskey to the Indians.
The dive keeper is the partner and
accomplice of the brute who carries
out bottle after bottle to make Indi-
ans drunk and threaten the homes of
Pendleton with his presence. Yet
what does the dive keeper say?
He says. 81 have a license" There
is the secret of all the depravity then,
in the greed of the city, grasplng for
a paluy $3.50 per year from a dive
that is a menace to society. that a few
rich landlords may escape taxation.
There is the secret.
Then let society be pulled down, let
homes be threatened and women and
children insulted by the dive keeper.
He is licensed to carry on his disrep-
utable traffic.
Let schools be built and money ex-
pended in vain, in rearing a higher
ideal for the youth. for as long as vice
is licensed, as long as officials have
not the fearlessness and boldness and
manhood to say 1--WE will crush out
this vice. whatever the cost" the
work of civilization is nullified.

STOP THE GRAFT.

The city council cannot give Walter
Wells the street sprinkling contract
under the city ordinances, because he
Is councilman. 1t should not give
It to him, even as a private citizen, be-
cause his bid is the highest and he
mas shown his willingness to graft the
taxpayers in the past by running two
and three sprinkling wagons over and
over the main streets until they were
made muddy. while residents of out
lying streets, within reach of hy
drants and in the thickly settled por-
tions Of the city suffered for want of
sprinkling.
This is a matter in which the tax
payers are vitality interested. It costs
about $500 per month to sprinkle the
streets, during the summer season and
the people are interested in seeing
the most good come from the expen-
diture Of this amount of money.
Everybody knows that Wells is the
contractor. although he poses as an
outsider, and bids through brother
sn-law or hired man, but the bills for
sprinkling are made out in his own
handwriting and, in some instances
90. Kd" by himself, as member OF
she street committee.
This entire matter will be thorough
-lv exposed in order that the people
may know what is being done in tn
matter Of street sprinkling and stree
improvements. Wells does not owl
the city nor the city council and h
has grated the people long enoug
by running his wagon over and owe
the streets close in and on the leve
ground. Pendleton is too big cit
10 be hoodwinked and grated by on
man or a dozen men, for that matter
and the taxpayers will be kept full
posted on the situation, hereafter.

THE TOMBSTONE CENSOR.

A tombstone censor is employed by
most large cemeteries. 1t is the duty
of this man to see that nothing un-
seemly in the way of a tombstone is
put up.
A young engineer in Norristown
mill was killed by the explosion of d
boiler, and the family of this young
man, believing that the mill-owners
had known all along that the boiler
was defective, actually had carved on
the tombstone the sentence, Muir
dered by his masters" The tomb
stone censor, of course, refused to
sanction such an epitaph.
on the death of a certain noted
prizefighter, the surviving brother OF
the man wanted to put in glass "asc
beside the grave championship heit
four medals. a pair of gloves and
other trophies of the ring. But the
censor's negative was firm.
A widow who believed that the
physician was responsible for her huJ
bands death wished to put on thu
tomb. "He employed a cheap doctor
but the tombstone censor showed he
that such an inscription would LAY
her open to heavy damages Tor lioel.
