THE INFLUENCE OF MIND.

Many wonder why they do not en-
joy good health. Have they ever
asked themselves, do really enjoy
anything?
Do they enjoy their neighbors' sue
cess and prosperity. or have they all
their lives at heart envied their neigh
Dor and secretly wished he might not
succeed in his undertakings?
Have they in the pursuit of their
own success not desired the downfall
of Others Yet they complain of being
in poor health, when from a moral
standpoint their whole mental atti-
tude has been wrong.
That we SOW what we reap, and as
man thinketh in his heart, so his
condition as whole.
This is not the kind of moral OBJ
liquity that returns evil for good-it
is not positive immortality or iniquity
but it is a secret, insidious poison
of coveousness and envy that under
mines the individuals constitution, as
well as his character.-Salem Journal.

egon land frauds and gives photo
graphs of several tumbled- down
'shacks" designated as farm houses
on the claims of dummy" home
steaders. The pictures of these
houses and the exposures in this ar
ticle will do as much to open the
eyes of the East tc the enormity of
Oregon's crime against the govern
ment as all of the indictments COM
bined. During the past year 3,OOO,O ,OOO
acres of the public domain in the
Northwest has passed into the hands
of timber monopolies, nearly every
acre of this vast tract being taken
from the people by fraud. This fact
is plainly shown in the article and
these disclosures viii not be received
in a very magnanimous spirit by poor
men in the East who need an acre
of land on which to rear their fami-
lies. The corruption which has shield
ed and permitted this gigantic steal
will receive its just retribution at the
hands of the people. oregon is to-
day, the byword of the nation and
half her official crookedness has not
been uncovered.

NO SURRENDER OF IRRIGAToRs

The temporary defeat of the irriga-
ton laws proposed by the irrigation
commission of oregon, does not mean
that the real irrigators of the state
have surrendered.
It simply means nat private inter-
ests have temporarily triumphed over
the general interest of the state.
The reclamation department is
cordially assured that the senti-
ment in favor of a broad, equitable,
well organized code is more strong
today than ever, because it is now
more clearly shown that private COM
panies, selfish interests and water
monopolies are determined to domi-
nate the state.
The government is assured that the
people of Oregon, through education
and agitation will yet pass such law
as is needed to invite and accomplish
the highest ideals in reclamation
work.
If the dictum of the Legislature
were to be taken as a conclusive YER
diet from the people, it would be a
sad day for oregon. 1t would meal
that the government is virtually given
its walking papers together with all
its organization and reclamation ma
chinery. 1t would mean that Idaho,
wyoming. Utah, Montana and Neva-
,da would enjoy all the splendid fruits
coming from the expenditure of Ore
gon's 100000 donation to the rec
lamation fund.
But such is not the case. The gov
ernment and the government engin-
GERS are assured of the kindliest feel
ing and Il is said to them in all confi-
dence that when the better self of the
people of oregon speaks, in electing
a legislature two years hence, the
verdict that the message will differ
from that just given expression to by
the Legislature.
Instead of a meager, cadaverous,
skinny, parsimonious, bloodless, SEX
less creature such as has just been
born in oregon in the form of an ir-
rigation law, a pulslng, bounding
life-giving, vltalized code will be born
that will touch the deserts into BIOS
som and transform the chaos OF
present laws into a beautiful sym
metry.
The irrigation commission and the
friends of advanced irrigation legis-
lation should organize now, for a
campaign of education.
The government should be assured
Of Oregon's final good intent despite
her present spasm Of selfishness. She
is all right, at heart, but she Otter
shows disposition to pout. 1t Il

A SUGGESTION.

While we're erecting monuments,
It seems to me we should
Not utterly neglect the man
Who first invented food.
And likewise 'twould not be amiss
To show our feeling deep
For our greatest benefactor-he
Who first invented sleep.
And then we ought to find some way
To show our deep disgust
For the man who first discovered work
And fixed things SO we must.

DEATH OF DUKE SERIOUS.
Cars Uncle Blown to Pieces in the
Streets of Moscow.

Within the walls of the far-famed
Kremlin Palace and within a stones
throw of the great bell of Moscow
Grand Duke Sergius met q terrible
death Friday afternoon of last week.
The deed was committed by a single
terrorist, who threw beneath the carri-
age of the Grand Duke a bomb charged
with the same high-power explosive
which wrought Minister Won Plehve's
death. The missile was packed with
nails and fragments of iron, and its ex-
plosion tore the imperial victims body
to CHASTITY fragments.
The assassin was thrown to the
ground and stunned by the force of the
explosion, but he Immediately arose
and ran toward the gate, attempting to
escape. His haste and the blood
streaming from his face, where he had
been wounded by fragments of the
bomb, attracted the attention of a
Sergeant of Police, who seized him be-
fore he could draw a revolver. The
man did not deny his crime. but on the
contrary glorified in its success. He
expressed his satisfaction that he had
been able to kill the Grand Duke with
out involving the Duchess.
The Grand Duke Sergius was the
uncle and brother-in-law of the Russian
Emperor, Nicholas. and was formerly
Governor General of Moscow. 1t is
understood he was condemned to death
last December by the fighting group"
of the Socialist Revolutionary party,
which has removed other prominent of.
fcials. The Grand Duke knew that he
stood in the shadow of death. He was
the recipient of repeated warnings, and
elaborate precautions were taken to in.
sure his safety. He kept closely to the
we'll guarded Nickouski Palace. Later
he sought refuge in one of the palaces
of the Kremlin. He has been classed
as the most reactionary member of the
imperial family, as the head of what is
referred to as the was party, and
has been stigmatized by the Liber-
ais as Russia's evil genius. Grand
Duke Sergius was born in 1857, and

FIGHTING THE OIL TRUST.

President Roosevelt has undertaken
a urge contract in his determination to
investigate the Standard Oil Company
and to prosecute that giant corporation
if il is shown to be a criminal Trust
within the meaning of the Federal
statute. saws the Salt Lake Herald.
The Standard Oil Company is the most
powerful combination in the country,
perhaps in the world. Its ramifications
extend into Legislatures. into Guberna-
torial offices, into the National House
of Representatives and even into the
Senate.
Tt has in its day made and unmade
many so-called statesmen; 1t has
bought them and owned them as aoso-
lntely as ever merchandise was bought
and owned. BY the aid of secret rail-
road rebates and concessions, by ruth
lessly crushing competitors whenever
they have ventured to appear, the Stand
ard Oil Company has built up what has
been described as a perfect monopoly;
that is. a monopoly that absolutely
con rolls the commodity responsible Tor
its existence.
IT. should not be hard for President
Roosevelt's investigators to secure any
amount of evidence against this Trust.
Hundreds of men in this country have
been ruined by it. hundreds more have
been made to feel the weight OF Its dis
NJ easure. But the conviction OF the
Standard can only be accomplished
after a long, hard struggle. 10 the cas-
nal observer, knowing the ease III Sc
curing evidence, it would seem that
conviction should be easy.
But there are methods OF securing
interminable delays, Of purchasing
witnesses and courts and juries. OF
muddlinc the public mind with abb
stract matter. In such proceedings the
standard and its employees are adopts.
They have learned through long years
of bitter fighting just what to do and
when to do it. The handwriting. how
ever. is on the wall. President Roose-
Welt is himself a fighter. And he is a
fighter backed by that most powerful
of influences, a united public senti-
ment.
We wish him well in his fight; we
wish him full. pressed down and run
ming over success. More power to him.

THE CORNER IN EGGS.
The Hens Will Ask Congress to In
vestigate the Trust.

The millions upon millions OF hens
which, it is asserted, have been ON a
strike because of cold weather, sent q
representative rooster to the farmer on
Monday to explain that the scarcity of
eggs is due to manipulatioDs of the Beef
Trust, not to any strike.
"In Chicago" clucked the rooster,
"there are fifty-five millions of eggs in
cold storage. You farmers received
only 10 cents a dozen for them last
Spring; now by cornering the market
the Trust is getting 30 cents, aud the
man who eats them pays 40 cents a
dozen. 1t is true our ladies object to
laying in cold weather. Only young
ambitious chicks try to keep up a
Spring record this time of the year.
That is why this Trust can corner the
market"

Warning Over the Canxps' Output.
There seems to be a disposition
amongst certain newspapers to decry
the Comstock for some reason. Why
this is done we are unable to see. So
far as the Comstock is concerned we
believe the prosperity of the State is for
the benefit of all. The latest offender
is the Tonopah Sun, which speaks edi-
torially Of the output of the Tonopah
mines as discounting the amount ever
produced by the Comstock, etc.. while
as a matter of fact, taking the figures
OF the State Controller as a basis. the
Comstock from virtually one mine is
even now producing double the amount
of bullion that is taken out in Tonopah
from all its mines combined. In one
Comstock mine alone there is more
machinery installed and actually being
used than there is in Tonopah, Gold
field and the whole southern country.
In the matter of labor. if reports can be

NO RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION
President AbandOns Idea of Any Ac-
ton This Session of Congress.

A Washington dispatch OF Feb. ~
Y President Roosevelt, who for
weeks has been hopeful that some
definite action might be taken at the
present session Of Congress on h rail-
road rate question, practically has re-
linouished the idea of securing legisla-
ton on the subject this Winter. 1t is
reasonably certain that he will not call
an extraordinary session Of Congress to
meet in the Spring, but unless ne
changes his mind he will call Congress
together, probably next October.
Representatives Esch and Townsend.
joint authors of the ate bill which
passed the House, had a talk with the
President to-day.
They outlined the rate situation in
Congress as they have found it. They
agreed with him that the prospect for
the enactment of rate legislation at
this session was remote. They indi-
Gated that IL no action were taken at
this session the subject would be con-
sidered thoroughly during the coming
Summer with the idea of presenting a
measure at the next session which, very
likely, would contain some additional
features.
As they left the White House, both
Messrs. Esch and Townsend expressed
the conviction that an extra session
would be called for next autumn to deal
with the rate question.
