Discardina the Secret system.

1hS~ o. 0hAAH ehsS SSSACs SYStShh.
The decision which has at length
been arrived at by the manage
ment Of the Great Boulder Perse-
verance to discard the secret sys-
tenn indicates satisfactory, though
somewhat tardy, recognition Of a
wholesome principle. The mine
has long stood as the most promin-
ent representative Of the contrary
practice, and it may be very safely
asserted that but for its policy
herein there would have been no
Perseverance scand |, no Boulder
deep scandal, and the mining in
dustry Of the west would have es-
capped the odium which has done it
such serious injury in the eyes Of
the British investor.
1t is to be regretted that only
after these evils have been entailed
has the company made merit Of
necessity, and SO minimized the
credit of its recent action, for the
prospect that the public inspection
of mines will be made subject of
early legislation is practically as
sured. There should have been no
need of this had the practice work
ing most satisfactorily in other
mining states been generally OBJ
served in the west, and it gees with
out saying that voluntary OBJ
servance of wholesome rule is to
be preferred before it's compulsory
enforcement. Failing the one, the
other must be substituted, the suf-
fcient defense in this case being
that it is demanded in the public
interest. 1t is equally demanded
in the particular interest, the two
strong reasons applying to both be-
ing that secrecy in mine workings
always engenders suspicion. and
that it provides the opportunity for
chicane.
1t is remembered that certain
persons love darkness rather than
light, and for proverbial reason,
while certain others take advan-
tage Of its cover to carry on their
nefarious traffic. Secrecy in min
ing gives the iackals of the stock
exchange something to discover, or
to assert they have discovered, and
to make a market of the truth or
of the lie at the expense of the I'M
wary. 1t gives his chance to the
dishonest employee, to the salter,
and to the "first information" oper-
ator, either on or OIL the board, and
the extent to which they work the
chance is on recent record. The
objection to full publicity chiefly
urged is that mining enterprise
is a proprietary concern worked for
its shareholders, and not for out
siders; therefore, that the outsiders
have no more claim to know any
thing about its detail than they
have to be as fully informed re-

Rates Too High.

AT Walla Walla numerous COM
plants are being heard from indie
pendent wheat shippers and farmers
about the high warehouse rates charg-
ed by the three leading wheat COM
panies Of the country. Last year the
rates were raised to so cents a ton
storage from harvest until January 1,
following, and from then on 10 cents
month a ton storage until the crop
was sold. Under the new rates the
companies charge so cents ton even
though the wheat is merely trucked
through and weighed before being
put on the cars. The shippers offer
no solution to the problem other than
to build independent warehouses for
their own use. Those who have their
warehouses and the mia warehouses
charge the same rates as were in
force before last year, and are receiv-
ing large amount Of business in con-
sequence.

yellow Fever in New Orleans.

New Orleans July 24.-Tonight
Mayor Behrman issued proclama-
ton to the people of this city urging
them to heed the advice Of the health
authorities relative to the sanitation
of their premises and calling special
attention to the necessity of placing
screens upon their houses and nets
over all cisterns and pools of water
which might breed mosquitoes. at a
meeting of the state board of helth to-
day it was decided In response to num-
erous requests for information to pre-
pare and send out detailed state
ment of the situation. This will in
clude an official statement that up
to this date there has been seventeen
cases and six deaths from yellow fever.

STRAW ON THE ROADS.
Farmers Making Travel More Agreeable
for Themselves.

Farmers Making Travel More Agreeable
for Themselves.
Walla Walla county has begun the
annual campaign to straw the dusty
roads of the county to make them pass
able for the immense amount of wheat
that must pass over them in the next
two months. Special effort is being
made to interest the farmers in the
work instead of sending gangs of men
and teams to the different parts of the
county to do the work. AS soon as
the farmers finish their threshing
they or their men and teams are hired
at the rate of 90. so a day to furnish
and spread the straw on the roads. In
the old way, when man and team,
paid for at the rate of $4. so or there
abouts day, were sent out to the
country the farmers asked 81 lead
for their straw before they allowed
it to be put on the road. BY the pres
ent plan each framer is hired to pre-
pare the road along his line fence,
and by obtaining the direct benefit of
this method he gladly gives his men
and teams at low rate and donates
the straw.

Grover Martin, convicted Of man
slaughter for having killed o. N.
Preston, is no longer in the county
Jail, bail having been provided for
him Saturday afternoon, says the East
Oregonian. Five thousand dollars is
the amount which Martin was requir-
ed to give In order to secure his re-
lease while waiting for his appeal to
be decided, and this sum was provided
late Saturday afternoon by Thomas
Spence and q. Fl. Boerster, of Milton.
Immediately after the bond had been
signed Martin was released and left
on the six O'Clock train for his home
at Milton.

Fish Law Being Violated.

Information reaches this Office that
the company owning the big dam at
the power plant has failed to provide
fishway to enable the fish to pass the
obstruction. This is contrary to the
law and the company should be COM
pelled to meet the requirements Of the
law in this respect. Many large fish
collect below the dam seeking to
ascend the stream to spawn but are
unable to do SO on account of the dam.
We are informed that many trout are
being caught with grab hooks and
spears, which is also contrary to law.
1t Is certainly high time that our game
warden was taking some action in
the matter. Milton Eagle.

Bucking the Northern Pacific.

Spokane is very much wrought up
over the proposed changes OF its tracks
in that city by the Northern Pacific.
The road proposed to close certain
streets and to build certain subways
in and through the city. This is OPP
posed by the citizens, though the road
has promised to spend about $500, 600
in the city in improving its property,
and they demand that the N. P. peo-
pie leave all the streets open and that
all the track be lowered in the business
part Of the city.

FOR SUNDAY CLOSING
ATHENA A DRY" TOWN AND
CLOSED SUNDAY.
Indications Are That There Will Be
No Exceptions, But Com
plee Tieuu.

Athena saloons were closed Sunday
for the first time in many years and it
is asserted that other business houses
will be notified to close and observe
the Sunday law.
The saloon men closed upon notifi-
cation of District Attorney Phelps,
who it is said took action through
complaint of law and order league
of which J. M. Hayes, ]. w. Jenkins,
Ed Baker and others resideing in this
city are prominent members. The
closing of the saloons through the
district attorneys Office is the result
of nonaction OH the part of the city
officials to whom members of the
league sometime ago appealed.
It is known that Mayor Taylor and
at least portion of the councilmen
favor the policy of closing one closing
all, and the saloon men having closed
their places of business will no doubt
make an effort to have the Sunday
closing law strictly enforced on
other branches of business in the city.
Aside from those who are members
of the organization responsible for
the steps taken to enforce the Sunday
closing law, the general verdict is
that closing the town at this season OF
the year, when Sunday trade and
traffic is demanded by the farmers,
will be the cause Of much loss OF
trade to Athena business men, and
result in much Inconvenience to
machine men. Particularly is this
considered to be the situation when
| the fact is taken into consideration
that other towns in the county are
not closed on Sundays.
It is understood that all business
men will be notified during the week
from the district attorneys office that
complaint has been made and that all
places of business in Athena must be
closed on Sundays. One saloon man
stated that the liquor dealers had only
| the best of good feeling toward the
business men of the town, but If the
saloons had to be closed other lines Of
business must expect to be made to
observe the same law, and that for
one, aud speaking for himself, be
proposed to see that all were treated
alike.

Ernest Evans skips Out.

Ernest Evans, the sheep man, after
borrowing all he could on the 1909
head of sheep he owned and mortgaged
field of grain in which he is said to
have only owned a half interest, has
departed for parts unknown, says the
Pilot Rock Record. Mr.. Evans has
had domestic troubles and was given
to gambling, which combined, proved
his downfall. He was generally con
sidered an honest man aud good
manager, but was unable to curb bis
passion for the gambling table. It is
said he has left behind several unpaid
grocery bills. Herbert Boylen has
taken charge of the sheep for the
mortgages.

wILL1AMsoN's SECOND TRIAL
The Theory In This Case viii be Ma
terially changed.

n6 uoOEJ IN AAtH O657 tNAAA w NAH~
teriaily Changed.
The second trial of Williamson,
Van Gesner and Biggs on the charge
of subornation of perjury, has COM
menced.
United States District Attorney
Heney has stated the case of the gov
ernment to the jury, clearly, fully and
forcfully.
The defense, through Judge Bennett
has told what ground will be taken
by his clients in the battle to be
fought out once more, and has at
tackled the position of the govern
ment and its attorney, has disclaimed
guilt on behalf of the three accused
men and has declaimed with fiery
iienunciation that the government
and its detectives have harried the
men accused from pillar to post like
worried rabbits in front of blood
thirsty dogs.
All is ready for the old story to be
told again. In the meantime the
prosecution has told the jury what
it intends to prove and this statement
reveals the fact that the defendants
will have to face new evidence not
brought out at the former trial and
will be put still more upon their
mettle in establishing their inno-
cence. Mr.. Williamson will be
proved to have beeh in Prineville on
June 15 and to have stayed there until
June "a, when the trial has come to
his connection with the conspiracy, SO
that when he testified in the last trial
not to have remembered his where
abouts he will have this time either
to admit or bring counter proof to
deny. This fact alone, it is argued,
strengthens the case of the govern
ment inasmuch as the presence of
Williamson in Prineville at that
time brings him into touch WITH the
knowledge of the conspiracy alleged
in the indictment.
The theory Of the case will be
changed, according to statement
made by Mr.. Heney, and the con-
tention Of the government will be to
show that the perjury was committed
by the enSrymen at the time they
made final proof, and not at the date
of filing on their claims. It is possible
that this theory will be argued before
the court when the testimony is COM
menced. In that case Judge Bennett
will contend that the indictment is
defective and should be dismissed,
owing to its obscurity and uncertain-
ness of meaning.

Threshing Outfit.

A Milton special to the Pendleton

nent young farmer who has been liv-
ing at the home of his parents about
eight miles northwest of Milton, COM
mitted suicide Saturday afternoon
about ! o'clock by cutting lis throat

mers. This business venture on the
part of the young man did not prove
success and it is understood that he
has been losing money every year.
He became respondent over bis
financial circumstances and finally,
in a fit of temporary insanity it is be-
lieved, he killed himself on the bed in
his room. At noon he ate lunch with
his mother and then went to his room.
1t was noticed at the time that he ap-
peared "blue, but nothing was
thought of his condition as he had
been in the habit of having these at
tacks quite frequently, especially this
spring. About two hours later his
mother had occasion to go to her sons
room for something and found him
quite dead, lying in a pool Of his own
bload, deep cash in his throat which
had evidently been inflicted with
razor which lay beside him,
Coroner Henderson was notified of
the suicide shortly after and went to
Milton on the evening train to hold
an inquest over the remians.

Renn Not Injured.

Arthur Renn, Pendleton boy who
was member OF the crew on board
the ill-fated Bennington when she
blew up, was not injured a particle,
says the East Oregonian. A message
was received from the young man
himself, saying that he had been
aboard but was unhurt, though many
had been killed and injured. A
little later messages were received
from Captain Young of the gunboat
and from the chief of police of San
Diego, saying that the boy was uuin-
jured. Both of these parties had been
wired to by the anxious relatives as
soon as the news reached them of the
disaster.

swift current and called for help.
Unable to breathe Parker threw the
lad off. The latter sank but was
brought to the surface by Fritz, who
helped both ashore and they were re-
susciated.
