NOW, LET Us WIN THE CASE,

So far every step has been favora-
BILE to Umatilla county in the O. r. &
y. assessment case.
Court after court has upheld the
contention of the county time and
time again the people of the county
have indorsed the policy of Assessor
Strain in his railroad assessment.
The county court has so far rejected
all overtures and has stood squarely
for the assessment as rendered. Now
that the equity suit is on let us win it.
let us employ assistance. if neces-
sary. to work with District Attorney
Phelps, and build the defenses strong
from the beginning. The company
will go into the case to win. The best
available counsel will be engaged in
their interests. Every point will be
hotly contested. 1t will be legal
fight for a principle and every inch OF
the ground will be battlefield.
The sentiment for higher values OF
railroad properties is rising rapidly on
every side. Umatilla county is the
pioneer but has nobly sustained her
cause.
The people are in favor of the as
sessment. The penalty that is now due
and the interest which has accrued on
the assessment have swollen the total
sum due to such gigantic proportions
that the county cannot afford 10 lose
the case or have it said that every
possible effort was not made to win
it, for the sake OF $1,000 or even more
in attorneys fees, to render assistance
to the district attorney. who should not
be compelled to fight the case unaided
against DIE strongest array of railroad
talent ever assembled upon any case
in Oregon.
This case will set precedent and
the company does not want the county
to win. The county court cannot af-
ford to lose it now, after it has been
decided favorably for the people and
the county in so many instances.

ARE OREGONIAN'S LAZY.

writes disparagingly Of the dispositions
Of Oregonians, in that part of the his

After describing the glories Of the
Cascades. the dreamland haunts Of the
valleys and rivers Of Willamette, the
grandeur Of the mountain gorges and

the climate.
He says that no matter what the
season in the Willamette valley

Our postal system at present is ham
dicapped by the express companies as
well as the telegraph companies. Both
are doing what the postal system
could easily embrace in its system.
Our senators are to blame for this,
and they will. i'm the near future,
through public opinion be forced to
desert one or both of these children
of special privilege. Which one will
go to appease the clamor of the re-
formers time alone will demonstrate.
Like the father in the story who, when
with his family in a sleigh on his way
home through a dense forest; being
overtaken by hungry wolves, found
his horse about to drop from fatigue,
self-preservation forced him to throw
one of his children to the wolves thus
appeasing their hunger and saving
himself and the rest of his family The
reformers will have no rest until one
of these national utilities is thrown
out to them from monopolies' sleigh.
Greed will compromise when hard

JUST PLAIN ROBBERY.

In today's East Oregonian is a spe-
cial dispatch from Lewiston, Idaho,
telling of the burning of IA slot ma
chimes and four roulette wheels by
the sheriff of Nez Perce county,
The law in Idaho is the same as the
law in Oregon on gambling, in the
main features, and when an Idaho
sheriff goes out to enforce it he does
not stop to ask which of his friends it
will affect. but does his duty.
The most startling fact developed in
this raid was that the roulette wheels
were operated by Il secret electric cur
rent, which made it impossible for a
player to beat the game.
The marble never stopped on the
winning number if the manipulation
desired to turn it aside. The machine
was equipped for wholesale robbery,
and no man had a ghost Of show to
win from the game.
The slot machines We're all plugged
to prevent them from stopping on the
large numbers. but if by chance one OF
the wheels would not lock, but would
keep moving slowly until they came
to an unplugged number. thus making
large winning impossible.
The tactics of Lewiston gamblers
are the tactics of gamblers the world
over. Fools and boys and drunken
men are their principal prey. They
take no honest chance with outside
players. Their machines are equipped
10 rob. they have secret devices with
which to trap the unsuspecting, and a
man with money never gets square
DEAL no matter who is running the
game or who is back of it.
II is just plain. systemadzed rob-
berry. studied out by men who have
nothing else to do. to catch men who
think they are gamblers but who have
no time to devote to any part of the
profession. except to playing off their
earnings.
Who but fools will play against
cold decks" or plugged and doctored
machines? 1t is common knowledge
that it is possible to manipulate the
roulette wheel, and yet sensible men
will talk Of playing their luck against
IT. Luck cannot compete with studied
robbery.

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrual

vitality. If it is painful or irregular

set right or it will lead to n serious de-
rangement of the whole female organ.

A New Mining Enterprise.

Mfr. C. ". Phillips, the well known Sonora mine operator, has taken over the mining properties known as the Tres Nucioaes, Flora, and BelIemando situated in the Magdalena district Of Sonora which have been owned and operated by the Canizaraes Brothers of La Ca- lera. These properties are located between the famous Cerro Prieto gold mine and the placers owned by the Greene Consolidated Gold Company at La Brisca. They are a high grade, free milling proposi- ton and for a number of years last past Caflizares Brothers have mill ed the output of the mines at their five stamp mill on the Santo Dom- ingo river receiving excellent re- turns therefrom. Mir. Phillips has also leased this mill and will use 1t for treatment of ores until the New York company which he represents has. erected new ten stamp mill on the prem ises. Development will commence at once on the several properties and working shaft will be sunk on the Tres Nociones, upon which has already been uncovered four foot ledge of free milling gold ore yielding $17 per ton.

ENTERTAINMENTS
Hyperion 3rheater.

"Eben Holden.' the wonderfully suc- cessful stage version by E. E. Rose of Irving Bacheller's famous novel, is now in it's third big year and bids fair to outrival any of its older competitors in the field of rural drama. The play is in three acts and tells a story of pastoral pialnness, of rugged and picturesque honesty-a love story that is beautiful for it's simplicity, a mirror of the say- ings and doings of a people who lived in northern New York state in 1861, and who are as unique as they are in teresting.
 William Mickey, in the title role, has achieved an enviable reputation in this character and the title role in David Harum," and competent critics in the leading cities rank him as the coming character actor of the American stage. Uncle Eb's" mission in life is to make others happy, and in the play he hap pily succeeds.
 Manager Frank Eldredge has suc- ceeded in engaging remarkably clever support to MT. Mickey, and, with the entire original New York Savoy theater production, local theater patrons will doubtless witness one of the finest att tra ctions of the season at the Hyperion Heater to-day, matinee and night.
