Former Mayor Surely
Is a Great SChemer

His Honor, Jeff Lipscomb, late
Mayor of Parsons, has gone INTO
the hen business since retiring
from office, and is following in the
footsteps of the late R. B. Hayes,
who started a hennery when he
retired from the Presidential Of
flee of Samuel j. Tilden. Eggs
are very scarce and high in price
and Jeff has been experimenting
on ways and means to increase
the supply, and has finally hit
upon a plan that doubles the
crop. He has a good warm hen
house with blinds to the windows
and at noon every day he pulls
the blinds down tight so that it
is dark in the hen-house, and the
chickens 60 to roost, thinking it
is night. In about two hours he
opens the blinds and the chickens
think it is daylight and the old
hens all hustle around and lay
another egg. The result is that
he gets two eggs per day from
each hen instead of one.
Jeff worked another good

Interesting Pipe Line
Report for January

There was big decline in both
the runs and shipments OF Penn
sylvania oil during January, but
the latter exceeded the former
and stocks were again reduced.
There had been a steady increase
in the stocks of high grade oil
from February, 1904, until Octo-
Der when a decline followed for
the last three months Of the old
year, which was continued in JAN
uary. The runs fell off nearly
10000 barrels a day from Decem-
Der, while the decline in the ship
ments was less than 5000 barrels
a day. The result was a de-
crease in the net stocks OF about
$500 barrels a day. In the Tren-
ton rock developments there was
decrease in the runs, accompan-
led by a heavy increase in the
shipments, but the net decline in
the stocks for the month was less
than 400 barrels a day.
In December the sections pro-
ducing Pennsylvania oil showed a
small gain in the runs, while the
shipments declined. The demand
for high grade oil continued in
excess of the supply, which re-
suited in cutting down the stocks
at the rate of 100 barrels a day.
Both the runs and shipments de-
elined in the Lima-Indiana oil de-
velopments, but the receipts were
greater than the deliveries and
the stocks of Trenton rock oil reg
istered a heavy increase during
the last month of the old year.
The gain was at the rate of 1900
barrels day, and the combined
stocks of both fields at the close
of the year were largely in ex-
cess of those at the close Of 1903.
Shipments of Pennsylvania oil
averaged 1880 barrels a day in
January, which was a loss of 1854
barrels from the December aver
age. For December the Pennsyl-
vania oil shipments averaged 3d.
GOA barrels, which was a drop OF
2473 barrels from the average for
The November ship
ments averaged SS,077 barrels,
and were the largest of the year.
For January, 1904, the shipments
averaged $1,000 barrels a day.
The total decrease in the stocks
of Pennsylvania oil for 1903 was
S75,92S barrels. I Every month
a decline with the single
exception Of June, when there
was a small gain. During the first
two months of the past year
stocks were further reduced, but
from March to September the in
crease was constant and amount

Wider and wider becomes the fan

Wider and wider becomes the fame
of the Moorhouse photographs, as the
people of the East come to appreci-
ate the historical value of Western
scenes and characters. Within a few
years after the living heroes of the
West have passed from the stage,
these matchless pictures will be
treasured still more highly by an
appreciative nation. Suppose it had
been possible to have photographed
the great Indian chieftains of the
New England and Central states, as
Major Moorhouse has photographed
Western celebrities; what valuable
page would have been added to Amer
lean history! Today the only exist
ing likeness of Pontiac, Philip, Te-
cumseh, Black Hawk, Oceola or any
other of the great historical Indians
are drawings to be found in rare in
stances. School children know moth
ing of the appearance or manners of
those leading Indians, while every
school boy is now enabled to possess
a picture of almost any of the. great
Western chieftains, whose history
and life are woven into the very life
history of the nation. An article in
February Munseys on four leading
Western chieftains, written by Cap
tain Jack Crawford, is illustrated by
Moorhouse photographs of Chief
Joseph and his home and photo
graph Of the Custer battlefield in
Montana. All these short historical
sketches scatter broadcast the history
of the Western struggle, and the pho.
tographs taken from life, add an i'm
measurable historical interest to al
such subjects. Major Moorhouse II
writing history in a manner tina
will be appreciated by succeeding
generations in this nation.

ENFORCE THE QUARANTINE.

There should be no dallyng or
compromise with a case of diphtheria,
anywhere. There should be no de-
lay in effecting a legal and effective
quarantine.
There is too much at stake in a
thickly settled community TO risk the
slightest point for eXpediency. in a
matter thus grave. Two cases of this
disease have now appeared outside
of the mission school, and it is high
time that some rigorous steps were
taken. If two cases have been scat
tered from the school, perhaps enough
of the germs have been carried away
to develop into hundred cases. 1t
is no idle matter. however efficient
the medical fraternial may be.
Public schools are filled with chill
dren who are helpless in the care of
the community and if proper safe
guards are not provided for them,
the results are terrible to contem-
plate.
The East Oregonian does not be-
lieve in tiptoeing and whispering in
bated breath on such subjects. They
are grave public issues which should
be met on their first appearance, in
brave, fearless, practical manner,
no matter who is concerned. The
quicker the specific treatment and
the preventative measures are ap-
piled the better, and the more such
matters are kept before the public,
the better it will be, for the pres
ence of such information causes
greater care and more precaution.
There is no cause for hysteria nor
panic. but there is cause for thought
full, efficient precaution on the part
of the health authorities, to prevent
the spread of this dread disease.
The unguarded reservation and the
questionable sanitary laws of the In
dians, are constant cause for precau-
tionary measures and on the slight
est hint of any kind of epidemic
which might threaten the public
health, no time should be lost in
throttling it at it's fountain head.
Expediency to the winds, give us
safety always.

CANADA's NEW RAILWAY.

The length of the main line-the
new trans-continental railroad in
Canada-from Moncton to Port Simp-
son, is estimated at $500 miles. 1t is
expected to cost in the neighborhood
of $125, 1000, of which 65 millions
are for the eastern section, to be built
by the government, and 60 millions
for the western section, to be built
by the railway company.
In addition to the main line, there
are several projected branches, some
to connect with the principal towns
and cities to the south of the railway,
and others to open up new districts
still frather north.
Nothing here has been definitely
decided but it is practically certain
that in the east, branches will con-
meet the new transcontinental rail-
way with Montreal, Toronto, Sault
Ste. Marie and Fort william; while in
the west branches will be built to Re-
gina, Calgary. Prince Albert and
other important centers IN the wheat
and ranching districts. In British
Columbia connection will probably
be made with a line running north
from Vancouver, and a branch line
will run north to Dawson City,.

on the eastern section extending
northward to Hudson Bay. Railways
to Hudson Bay have been projected

uncertainty as to the forthcoming or
