PRAISES PENDLEToN SCHOOL.

The Pilot Rock Record in arguing
against the Normal school, passes
high and deserved compliment on
Pendleton academy. which is certain
ly appreciated by friends of the acad-
emy. The Record says:
In Pendleton there is school
known as the Pendleton academy,
which from a small beginning has
risen to the Importance of one of the
best preparatory schools in Eastern
Oregon. The Pendleton academy pre-
pares for any of the leading colleges
in the United States. The Weston
Normal does no more. The Pendleton
academy costs the state not one cent
but is out of debt and is growing and
prospering on account OF the demand
there is for such an educational insti-
tuition. It's buildings are equal to
those of the Weston Normal and It is
equally as free from sectarianism,
though Christianity is inculcated.
When the present efficiency of the
public schools is considered. in addi-
ton to the high character and num-
Der of sectarian and non-sectarian
schools and colleges that are within
the reach of all, 1t certainly does seem
a waste Of money to maintain at state
expense schools whose utility is open
to much controversy

LABOR LAWS AT PANAMA.

Attorney General Moody has filed
an opinion concerning the applica-
bility of various laws affecting labor
in the United States to the construc-
ton of the Panama canal. He holds
that the contract labor law does not
apply to the canal zone, and therefore
the isthmian commission and its con-
tractors will be at liberty to contract
for laborers to any extent. The eight
hour law, however does apply so far
as laborers and mechanics are con-
cerned.
This ruling, according to Chief En-
gineer Wallace, means an increase of
millions in the cost of building the
canal. The 18th amendment to the
constitution is also applicable, and
that will involve very careful scruti-
ny of labor contracts, and the practi-
ces under them, to avoid anything
like involuntary servitude. Although
the Panama railroad and its steamer
line are the absolute property of the
government, Mr.. Moody thinks that
their men are not covered by the
eight-hour law, since they are en-
ployed by the corporation and not by
the United States. Thus the legal
fiction of company owned entirely
by the United States becomes a solid
industrial fact.-Colliers Weekly.

JIM BLUDso.


The following poem. "Jim Bludso.
written 80 years ago by John Hay. is
one of the most popular dialect poems
ever published:
Wall. no. 1 can't tell whar he lives,
Because he don't live. you see;
Leastways, he's got out of the habit
or livln' like you and me.
Whar have you been for the last three
year
That you haven't heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed in his
checks
The night of the Prairie Belle?
He wern't no saint-them engineers
Is all pretty much alike
One wife in Matches Under the Hill
And another one here in Pike
A keerless man in his talk was Jim,
And an awkward hand in a row;
But he never flunked and he never
reckon he never knowed how.
And this was all the religion he had
To treat his engine we'll;
Never be passed on the river;
10 NINA the plots bell,
And if ever the Prairie Belle took fire,
a thousand times he swore,
He'd hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last soul got ashore
All boats has their day on the Missis-
sip
And her day come at last;
The Movastar was a better boat,
But the Belle she wouldn't be pass
ed:
And so she came tearing along that
night
The oldest craft on the line
With a niger squat on her safety
valve,
And her furnace crammed. rosin
and pine.
The fire burst out as she cleared the
bar,
And burnt hole in the night,
And quick as flash she turned and
made
For that willer bank on the right.
There was runnin' and cursin, but Jim
yelled out,
Over the Internal roar,
"Pll hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last galoot's ashorei"
Through the hot, black breath of the
burnin' boat
Jim Bludso's voice was heard,
And all had trust in his cussedness,
And knowed he would keep his
! word.
And, sure's your born, they all got off
Afore the smokestacks fell,
And Bludso's ghost went up alone
In the smoke of the Prairie Belle.
He wern't no saint, but at Judgment
day
I'd run my chance with Jim
'Longside of some pious gentlemen
That wouldn't shook hands with
him.
He seen his duty, a dead sure thing,
And went for it thar and then;
And Christ amt a-goin to be too hard
on man that died for men,

THE SHAH WAS SHORT"

On his way to Vienna the shah Of
Persia stopped for night at Lemberg.
he and his suite occupying 46 large
and 80 small rooms in hotel. The
bin was $4,000. and when his chan
cellor of the exchequer received the
bill he had slight fit Of apoplexy.
When he recovered he showed the
bill to the shah. who Immediately sent
for the landlord and rated him as an
extortioner
The landlord explained that he had
to rebuild his kitchen at a cost Of
nearly $4,000. The shah's treasury
was not full and the suite was in a
state of considerable excitement as
how best to raise the money. The
shah decided to leave some of his
Jewels. but the landlord refused, as
they might not be real. At last a
local banker came to the rescue and
paid the bill.-New York World.

imports entering the port OF New
York. Although the complete figures
have not yet been compiled it is known
that the imports for the last 12
months exceed by nearly $4,000, 900
the entries of last year.
1t is regarded as significant of the
general prosperity of the country that
many of the most notable increases in
imports at New York are in the di-
rection of luxuries, such as diamonds,
automobiles. fine laces and similar ar
ticles.
Two of the lines showing phenom-
email increases this year are sugar and
precious stones, which in the aggre-
gate are greater by $SO,OOO,OOO than
We're the same imports one year ago.
The entries of cigars during the fiscal
year have been far greater than was
the case one year ago.
Passengers baggage has yielded an
unusually large revenue to the treas
ury. as have liquors and wines. Tex
tiles of every kind have been literally
imported, something like $4,000, 900
alone being invested in expensive St
Gall, or Swiss. embroideries.
Many other imports have made
gains, with the result that the total
imports at the custom house for this
fiscal year approximate S64s,0O0,0O0,
as compared with s599,9OO,49S. the
previous year. All things considered,
customs officials say the year has been
the most prosperous so far as imports
are concerned in the history of the
port of New York.

THE BAREFOOT DUKE"

Archduke Joseph. "the Hungarian
Archduke," as he was called, who
died last week, was a disciple Of
Kneippe, and could be seen any day
in his beautiful park at Flume walk
ing about in sandals in the wet grass.
He did not give his whole attention
to military matters. as almost all
archdukes do, but had taste for
literature, gardening and botany.
He spent many years of his life
studying the gypsies, whom he tried
to cure of their wandering habits by
being exceedingly kind and generous
to them, but they caused him painful
disappointments. The last years of
his life were devoted to a book on
Hungarian flora, which his daughters
illustrated. His favorite daughter
was Maria Dorothea, wife Of the Duke
of Orleans.
