LEGAL AMENITIES.

Senator Bailey of Texas is fond of
telling stories Of his youthful strug-
giles at the bar of that state.
About the first case that came Mr.,
Bailey's way was one in which he had
been retained to defend rather tough

As the plaintiffs case was short, the
attorney soon resting, Mr.. Bailey saws
he thought he had fair chance to
get his man off But, to his dlsmay,
the three or four different motions
thatihe made were promptly overruled
by the court. Then, says Mr.. Bailey.

There are about dozen respectable
saloons in Pendleton. In which minors
are not allowed in which gambling
is not permitted and from which not
a drop OF whiskey goes to an Indian.
These places are run on decent plan
and cause a minimum of trouble in

crime in the city originates in. and
from the influence of. about a dozen

trade they will protest to the city
council against the issuance of license
to certain class of saloons i'm this
city. They will take some interest
in the moral surroundings of the
community. and not sit idly by. while

the effort of the government to uplift
and better the condition of the In

Pendleton is no longer frontier
town. 1t is not in the Klondike nor
on the Texas border. 1t is i'm the
midst of one of the most progressive,
most high-class communities in the
West. and must shake off the incubus
of the old order of thinking, which
still clings to the wornout belief that
a town must be a tough town to

JOAQUIN MILLER's PYRE.

Joaquin Miller the famous Poet
of the Sierras, is known far and wide
for his many eccentricities. Among
many other things, he is IA strong be-
never in cremation-after the ancient
manner of the Roman and the de-
votee of Brahma. When he shall have
passed away, the good, gray poet"
desires that his body shall be cremat-
ed. and that his ashes be "inurned. :"
and carefully preserved. To this end
he has caused to be erected on the
crest of "The Heights" overlooking
the cities of Oakland, Berkeley and
Alameda, and the great bay of San
Francisco, a stone mortuary altar.
on the top of this pyre is a deep
depression in the solid masonry
quite large enough to contains a hu-
man body. After death Mlller's re-
mains will be placed in this recepta-
Gle, covered with fuel and consumed
after the open air style of cremating
in India. Though odd, yet 1t is the
unique fancy of the erratic old bard.
With his own aged hands the poet
helped to construct this funeral pyre,
on which his body is finally to be re-
duced to ashes
Along the winding ridge OF 1.-The
Heights" Miller has also caused to be
erected several large stone memorial
towers, that are very conspicuous. One
Is a pile of square masonry, dedicated
to Col. John C. Fremont, the famous
pathfinder; another to the poet.
Browning, of whom Joaquin is a great
admirer, and third (of a pyramidal
shape), which the old poet facetiously
calls Moses Grave" Many hun
dreds visit the poet to pay their re-
spect to him. Few call who do not
ascend the Heights to take look at
these rugged stone memorials.

Opposition to a new irrigation code
/ in Oregon is found to be centered in
4 the selfishness of present private
owners, whose large holdings may be
jeopardized by wider distribution of
the waters of the state. Idaho eXper-
fenced the same opposition in the
passage of her present irrigation law,
Utah faced the same selfishness, Cal
ifornia is now fighting the same prop
ositlon, and Washington is in the
power of the private monopolies. The
jumping off place" must be reached
somewhere in the reorganization of
the irrigation laws of the West. Irri-
cation being the most vital industrial
subject in the West, must be systema-
tized, founded on the principle of the
greatest good to the greatest number,
and utility must be the basis of all
laws. instead of selfishness, however
well founded it may be in ancient
custom and unwritten law. After the
first upheaval of the change in pass
ing from the old to the new system,
the new Irrigation law will be bless
ing to the state. because it provides
for the widest possible use of the
streams. AT present there is idle
water in every private ditch. and idle
land and idle families because thereof

reminded him in plain terms that par

him. The bailiff, by the court s direc-

answered the message. This was in adj
dition to notices posted as well as
newspaper notices.
Mr. Ashford not only withdrew that
objection but acknowledged the habit
ual courtesy of Judge De Bolt in giving
notice to attorneys. Yet he stuck to
his other objection and refused to
argue the constitutionality of the stat
ute, saying, however, that he might
argue it in the Supreme Court.
Judge De Bolt then spoke his mind
in plain language to the attorney, in
part as follows:
