coming on a trot until the conductor
gave the signal to leave, in despera-
ton. After the train started two wo-
men with babies came down the plat

H, E. Bickers has just received a
letter from the agent of the Jalisco,
Mexico, colonization and townsite
scheme, in which a letter purporting
to come from George Rogers, of Bel
lingham, Wash, is inclosed. This let
ter from Mr.. Rogers paints the ia
lisco country in flowery terms and
gives some general idea of the pro-
ducts and opportunities to. be found
there and is in part as follows:
Bellingham, Wash, March 25, '05.
Dear Brother:-I have just return
ed from a trip to Mexico to the town
site of Jalisco. on the line of the Pan
American road, and will say that l
found everything o. X. l made one
| trip there before, in looking over a
timber proposition, but was not sat
isfied and went back again.
1 am on a deal for a fine tract of
walnut near the town of Jalisco
which, from the surrounding coun-
try, will be the best town on the west
coast. l have made up my mind that
l could not make a more paying in
vestment than to buy lots in Jalisco.
They are building shops of various
kinds there and you ought to see the
corn there. 1t beats anything ever
saw in Missouri. This corn was never
cultivated. either. which might seem
unreasonable. So you can imagine
what the soil is. The climate beats
this, from what I can see, from both
of my trips. I stayed one day and
one night on my first and five days
on my second trip.
There is a fine harbor there and
| fine prospects for the timber busi-
ness. In fact. it looks as though 1t
would be but short time until the
town of Jalisco will be fine city,
Yours truly.

ANNOYANCE.

Residents of the west end of town,
who live near where the dog pound
is located, are already becoming
averse to having that institution in
their neighborhood. While no dogs
as yet have been placed in the house,
a vision of bowling ours and restless
nights in the future is before those
who live in the vicinity of ]. Frank
Day. Mr.. Day is the official dog
catcher, and the dog pound is upon
his lot
Today Ed Stansbury, who lives in
the neighborhood, made complaint
to the officials about the matter and
it is understood that the matter will
be presented to the council tonight in
the shape of petition. The signers
will probably ask the council to con-
slider the thing as a nuisance, and to
have it removed to some other part
of town.

NO SHIRT Is LOST.

Chief OF the Walla Wallas has Not
Made His Appearance at Washing
ton.
The East Oregonian last evening
received a message from Billy Nc
Kay, the interpreter who is now in
Washington, D. c., with Umapine,
saying that Chief No Shirt had not
yet arrived in the national capital,
and that nothing had been heard of
him since he left this city a week ago
this morning.
No Shirt was to have stopped few
days in Chicago to be the guest OF
Crewdson, the story writer, and it Ia
supposed that he has tarried longer
than he intended. As No Shirt is the
treasurer of the party, the anxiety OF
Umapine and Billy Mckay for their
chief to arrive in Washington may be
readily imagined.

Peddline Her Own Pups.

Many compassionate persons have
sympathized with mother who for
several days has walked the business
districts soliciting purchasers for her
offspring. The mother is a big New.
foundland dog. She carries three hand
some puppies in basket placarded
For Sale," and proudly marches along
the street, following the footsteps of
her owner. Her fond interest in the
puppies welfare gives pathetic touch
to the method Of her master In at.
tempting to dispose Of them.
When people stop to examine the
puppies the proud mother sets the bas,
ket down gently and caresses the trio.
I know it seems tough to have her
peddling the pups" exclaimed the own
er to tender-hearted onlooker, but
they're not all for sale. I'm keeping
one for her. "-Philadelphia Record

in the French regime for stable keep
er. The days Of extravaganza have
passed. Gen. Davis lives comfortably
but not extravagantly.
Gen. Davis was born in Connecticut
sixty-fve years ago. We was working
in Georgia when the Civil War broke
out and joined the Union Army. He
went in as a volunteer sergeant and
came out q captain Of regulars. He
was a colonel when the Spanish war
broke out and before its close was n
major general Of volunteers. He served
as Governor of Porto Rico and mill
tary governor Of Manila and for tins
was in command Of all the troops in
the Philippines. He is in his prime in
tellectually. He is as straight as one
of the royal palm trees not far from
his house; he is as brown as a berry
and as tough as a nut. He has, with
the exception of few weeks, when
he went home on account of the seri
Gus illness of his wife, been there
since his appointment last February,
and he is, in fact, about the only one
of the canal commission who has spent
much time on the ground. He repre-
sents the commission, and also the
government AS ruler of the zone he
has more power than any State Gov
ernor in the Union. He can order any
one off the United States territory az
an impeachment to the canal work or
as detrimental to the best interests OF
his little principality. He has, in fact,
the powers Of military ruler, and he
might be called the Gear Of our Pana-
ma possessions.

In this day Of the presentation Of
fabby and inane, IL not worse, stage
stories it lie worth while to commend
a play that teaches wholesome les
son. Such is "a Messenger From
Mars" which contains an ethical
teaching as old as the tragedy Of Job,
and as universal in its appeal. The
play presents all the sadness-as well
as the grim humor-of the sin Of COM
the curse of this wretched world"
says the messenger from Mars. The
messenger speaks true. All the his
tory Of humans confirms the declara-
ton. This, briefly, Is the run Of the
play: Horace Parker Is the apotheosis
Of self1shness-unwittin selfshness
He Is sincerely selfish. So self-center-
ed that no impulse Of pity ever comes
to him, save self pity, he is calmly i'm
bedded in self love and self 1ndulg-
ence. If anything goes wrong with
him-as seldom happens to such one
he feels himself a much abused man.
Parker is not bad man nor especially
wicked. He Is not a bad sort Of a
husband In sense. He is too high
minded for gross violation of morals.
His self respect keeps him from stoop-
ing to low things. He is honorable in
way. He is eminently respectable
and eminently satisfied with himself.
In a crisis he would doubtless sacri-
fee himself for his own. But at ev-
cry turn he unconsciously inficts suf-
fering upon the women Of his house
hold and upon his friends. In short,
regarding himself as Improbable, he
is guilty every day of offenses that
break the hearts of his loved ones.
Little less than a miracle will open the
eyes Of this sort of a man. The Mars
messenger comes to him and says,
"You train your dogs with hunger and
whip. I must try the same system
with you" Then comes an excellent
apprenticeship to clear sightedness-
he is put in the place Of others. Hun
ger and cold and wretchedness are his
teachers. He drinks the cup Of mis-
cry to the dregs. At every hard
hearted utterance the man mutters,
1--WE said the same thing many time
myself" Then pity comes to him.
His eyes are opened and he hates the
old self. A soul is born within him.
The lesson Is for men and women. For
there is no sex in selfshness. It Is an
old drama-this evolution of q life.
And it is re-enacted every day. To.
some comes the messenger Of fate and
in a great crisis of pain Or Of sorrow
the lesson Is learned. Others learn the
teaching when it is too late, save for
remorse. And still others will never
learn the better way until they are
face to face with the lesson other
where in that outward
sweep of the future that we call Mys-
terry.

The women in the picture are ma
tives of the primitive little village Of
Champery, in the canton of Valais,
Switzerland. 1t is remote mountain

trict have worn trousers from time
immemorial. The men Of Champery
are known to be the LATEST in the re-
public. They will sometimes accept
employment as guides, but manual la
Dor is not at all to their taste The
women, therefore, have been obliged
to follow outdoor occupations, and
they have been clever enough to fit
themselves for the undertaking. Since
these emancipated women Of Cham

avocations and attire distinctive of
masculinity, they have gone step fur

short brierwood pipes and chamois

enchantment to the feathered pirate,
and he is an emblem of the most tyr
annical monarchies in the world. Rus

republic was born. Austria used him
so long that he became shopworn. An

him as it's appropriate emblem.
In the Continental Congress, when a
national bird was selected, the eagle
won over the turkey by only one vote.
Washington and Franklin favored the
turkey as a bird Of peace distinctively
American, not at war with everything
else wearing feathers, including it's
own kith and kin. Why should coun-
try like ours adopt a secondhand en-
blem already stained with the deeds
Of tyrants and the misdeeds of des-
pots?
Why not adopt the plain, useful,
peaceful and practical American hen
While not singer, her lay is pleas
ing and preferable to the shrill scream
of an eagle with it's talons dripping in
nocent blood. The hen is Industrious,
unassuming and devoted to usefulness.
She is an exponent Of the simple life
in all its beauty and seductiveness. She
fills our beds with feathers, our depart
ments Of the interior with omelets and
our souls with satisfaction. Her eggs
bring millions Of dollars monthly to
our people, exclusive Of those her own
ers consume.
Her spring chickens, though the
"spring" in them sometimes resem-
bles rubber, have fancy price-ma
attached and are justly esteemed. You
cannot eat eaglets or get rich on
eagles egs. The cackle Of the house
hold hen is musical, though not en-
trancing. She is sociable and does not.
like the eagle, hold herself aloof. She
is immortal, for her son never sets.
She is brave, and for her little brood
will fight anything from mammoth
to mouse. AS for the eagles boosted
proWess, game rooster can whip him
to a sandpaper finish and make him
self resemble twice Is cents If he will
only stay on the earth for round or
two.
Make the hen our national bird. and
instead of the arrows and olive branch
es let her hold in her useful claws a
statement of the annual egg money
and certificate from the housewives
with the motto, 'Miscete dulce utili. .
Retire the boastful, impractical, pred
atory eagle, and substitute the feath-
cred queen OF the republic.

After years of the hardest sort of

feats In the world has been finally ac-
complished. The Slmplon tunnel has
been formally opened, and the first
trains have passed through. Not only
is 1t the longest tunnel in the world,
but its course is beneath a greater
weight Of mountains than any other.
There have been numerous disappoint-
ments and heart-breaking delays in the
work, and upon one occasion it was
thought that it would have to be given
up. At one period Of the construction
a subterranean stream of hot water
was encountered, which compelled the
cessation of work. and the difficulties
encountered In blocking this under
ground hot river were prodigiouS

unexpected directions, and before the
work was weis begun the original
