An old Friend-ln a New Place,

Jim Pearson, the Turkish bath man, has moved from the First National Bank building to the handsome residence, No. 1910 Fifth avenue, north and has equipped it for the accommodation of his increasing patronage. Already he has es- tablished a reputation as a masseur in the treatment of rheumatic troubles. It is dangerous to take the system of hydropathic baths except from an ex- perienced operator.
 The Pearson baths include all the mod ern Battle Creek methods-Turkish, va DOT and medlcated baths; Betzs hot-air bakes. Also sulphur salt. soda and nutri- tion baths for flesh building
 The Stz bath is particularly recom- mended for equalizing irculation-called whipping up the blood
 Jim is an expert chiropodist.
 The new establishment has an elegant reading room and lounging place. Rooms are ready for those desiring to stay over night or for any length of time. Jim does not open his baths between the hours of sunset and sunset, Friday to Saturday, of each week.
 Ordinary baths with shower and rub down, 25 cents.

IN THE BIRMINGHAM
 REAL ESTATE MARKET

The past week in the local real estate market has been firm. A large number of transfers were filed in the probate court but most of them were for small amounts The activity Is especially noticeable in the residence portion of the city, the prices being very firm. A large number of building permits were issued, several being for fairly large buildings. The activity of the building 1 circles Is confined to no particular part of the city.
 Although the local real estate market has been in very good condition during the past week, do not think that there has been any unusual activity" said w N. Malone of W. N. Malone & Co.,, yes terday.
 "The market has been composed most ly of deals for small amounts. however there have been a few fairly large deals, the activity being especially noticeable in the residence portion of the city.
 T have been in the real estate business in this city for about twenty-five years and I have never scene the growth of the city more active than 1t has been in the past year.
 ''The year in the real estate market opened in the spring with unusual activ- ity and continued in that condition for six or seven months. The rental season came on and the market grew a little less active but now that the rental sea- son is about over real estate business Is picking up very rapidly
 ''The past season in the rental market has been one of unusual activity. There has been a large number of new people coming into Birmingham and houses have rented more rapidly this season than ever before. In fact every line of my busi- ness is in very fourishing condition.''

THANKS THE PRESS
FAIR HAS BEEN AN
UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS
Press Bureau of the Lewis and Clark
Fair Issues n Circular Letter Ex-
pressing Gratitude to the Press for
Assistance In Making the Fair u
Succcss--Attendance VIII Reach g.
100000 Mark by the Close.

The press bureau Of the Lewis and
Clark fair has issued circular letter
thanking the newspapers for their aid
ing some details as to the exact finan-
cial condition of the fair corporation.
The circular is as follows:
Portland, Ore, oct. 9.-(To the
Editor of the East Oregonian. y
Now as the Lewis and Clark centen-
NAL exposition is rapidly drawing to a
triumphant close. take great pleas
ure in offering to you my sincere
thanks for your hearty cooperation.
The Western Worlds fair has been
an unqualified success. The attend
ance has been remarkable. Visitors
from every portion of the country have
come to Portland during the past four
and half months to see the two great
expositions-the Lewis and Clark CEN
tennial. and the wonderful western
country. The eyes of the world have
been turned towards Portland, Ore,
and the Pacific northwest, which fact
proves without a doubt that the Lewis
and Clark fair has successfully accom-
plished its primary object, that of ex-
plotting the marvellous country west
of the Rocky mountains
Aside from the fact that the Lewis
and Clark exposition has been sue
cessful in accomplishing its purpose
it has also been a financial success.
The admissions and money collected
from other sources of revenue will en-
able the directorate to pay fair per-
centage of the stock subscription. The
attendance is rapidly climbing toward
the 2,500,000 mark which is likely to
be reached by October Is, The ad-
missions have gone ahead of those at
the Trans Mississippi exposition at
Omaha, which heretofore was gener-
ally conceded to have been the most
successful of worlds fairs. This result
is more remarkable when il is consid
cred that within a radius of 500 miles
of Omaha there live 10000 900 people
while the population within a similar
radius of Portland is only 100000.
Too much credit cannot be given
the newspapers and magazines of the
country for their aid in making the
Western Worlds fair a success. They
have supported the exposition gener-
ously from the first and printers ink
has again obtained the desired result
l desire again to thank you for the
assistance your paper has given in the
work of making a successful exposi-
ton. Yours very truly.

NEW RULES FOR CHINESE.
Plan of Inspection Said to Have Been
Formulated


What will probably be the admin
istration program for Chinese legisla-
ton has been agreed upon tentatively
and 1t is understood bill will be
drawn up in December to carry out
this agreement is report that comes
from Washington city.
Briefly it provides for the appoint
ment of special agents of the depart
ment of commerce and labor to be
stationed at the United States seaports
of Asia and Europe whose sole duty
will be to inspect Chinese certificates
and determine whether or not the
holders are entitled to enter the
Unitd States.
This inspection is now done by con-
suls and their manner of doing it has
aroused criticism and created dissatis-
faction. They sometimes neglect this
work and turn it over to a third party.
usually a Chinese interpreter, whose
honesty and integrity are matters Of
doubt.
1t is said Secretary Root indorses
this policy as 1t will center all of the
Chinese business in the immigration
bureau which is part of the depart
ment OF commerce and labor.
Meanwhile Secretary Root will pro-
coed to negotiate a new treaty with
Minister Cheng which will more
clearly define the classes of Chinese
eligible to admission to the United
States.

RAILROAD VALUES.
If A. a G. hallway Is $4,000 Per Mile
How Much Is o. X. & N. Worth?

1
The Baker City Herald in discuss
ing railroad assessments, says:
Here is a conundrum for County
Judge Travillion. Z. H. Hartman, the
owner of the o. r. & N, is desirous of
buying the Columbia River & Astoria
railroad for $4,000 a mile. Now IL
the Astoria & Columbia River railroad
is worth $4,000 a mile. what is the
main line of the o. r. & N. worth?
If the o. r. & n. is worth as much
as the Columbia River road, then a
one-fourth valuation per mile would
be $4,000. the amount on which the
road should pay taxes Is Judge
Travillion going to put his Judgment
of the value of railroads against that
of E. II. Hartman? Judge Travillion
says the o. r. & N. is worth only
S2S,000 per mile-figured on the basis
of an assessment of $500 a mile.
Then it is very evident that Mr.. Har-
rlman Is being buncoed in his pur-
chase of the A. & C. r., at $4,000 per
mile.
The purchase by Hartman of the
A. & c. r. is given by the Oregonian
as follows:
within another month E. H. Har-
riman will probably own the Astoria
& Columbia River railroad, provided
he cares to take over the property at
stipulated price of $4,000 per mile
named in an option that he holds. 1t
is held by Thomas H. Hubbard. H. E.
Huntington and the C. P. Huntington
estate. hence all the securities could
probably be acquired at any time by
Mr.. Hartman"

Certainly the result of the Amer ican criminal procedure as distin- guished from the English criminal procedure does not encourage us to think that it would be wise to in- troduce into the Philippine islands a system of jury trial which now prevails i'll most of the states, espe- cially under the restrictions of the power of the court which we find as we go west in this country. The cure fo- this growing cancer in the body polite may be found in statu- tory amendments.

MODER.V VIEJTS OF SEC
 RET4RY TAFT.

Following will be found some of the modern American views car ried away by the United States secretary of war on bis recent de. parture for the Philippines. Not many years ago such sentiments coming from a cabinet officer might have caused surprise. Even now they may awaken in some a feeling of regret-a sensation of loss, as If some cherished principle had slipt away and left no compensation.
 The words are temperate enough, but somehow they seem to convey all intimation that the men who are to control the destinies of Amer ica and her dependencies will not look to the people for inspiration and for guidance.
 Tn saying that crime Twill con tinue to increase unless the crim- inal laws are enforced with more certainty. more uniformity, more severity than they now are" the secretary of war may be correct; but it does not appear less probable that a people held in cheek through fear would eventually require to be restrained by dread and finally routed by terror The methods of a Spain inevitably Ield Co the necessity tor a Weyler
