We might as well take the bull

fore we call again upon our select
men to post the main road running
from Middlebury to East Middlebury,
against automobiles. 1t is plain case
of an infinite risk that may result at any
moment in the death of one or several
should any accident result, we believe
that the town could be held responsible
and more especially as the attention of
the selectmen has been called to the
danger.

Los Angeles, CAL, may attempt a
demonstration of the Gothenburg plan of
dealing with the liquor question. There
was much Massachusetts interest in this
matter few years ago, when it was re-
ported on at length by special investi-
gators In the California city % men of
means have proposed to pay the city
$3.50, 900 year for the 200 saloon licenses
now in force. If this offer should
be accepted, the plan is to buy the
stock, fixtures ana good will of all
these saloons, at an appraised valu-
alton, and then reduce the number of
places where liquor is sold, from 200 to
25. The scheme further provides that
after an annual dividend of per cent
on the investment has been taken, all
further profits will go to the city

Remarkable Water Power.

Today is the height of one of the
driest seasons known in Eastern Ore
gon, and yet there is now in East
Eagle 1000 miners inches of water and
an unlimited fall. For miles there are
advantageous locations for power
plants and in one or two places COM
panies have begun operations looking
to utilization of this latent power and
wealth.
Competent engineers have estimated
and reported at various times, upon
several different projects and the
country generally. The government
engineers nave made laborate rports
to the departments and it can be said
that in a general way all of these re-
ports agree in the statements that
Eagle creek furnishes ample power
for the operation, by electricity, of all
the mines east of Baker City, and
electric railroad systems, manufact-
uring plants of every kind and besides,
furnish water systems, with a plenti-
full supply.-Baker City Democrat.

LEONARD WARNER ENLISTED IN
OUT PARENTS CONSENT.
Discharged BY Order Of the Fed
eral Court.

Alleging that ne was not Of legal age
and did not have his parents con-
sent, M. M. Warner a resident of
Goldendale, secured a writ of ha-
beas corpus directing Colonel J. z.
Steever, commanding the troops at
Fort Walla Walla, to produce in the
United States court at Spokane, one
Leonard Warner who had enlisted as
a member of the Fourth Cavalry band.
The writ was served on Colonel Stew
err yesterday at Fort Walla Walla
by Deputy United States Marshal
McCully of Spokane. The writ is
made returnable within 20 days. AS
soon as the necessary order can be
secured from the department head
quarters young Warner will be sent
to Spokane by Colonel Steever.
It appears that while young Steever
vas in Portland playing with the
2aker City band he was induced to
enlist in the Fourth cavalry. He was
not quite Fl years of age and when he
informed his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Warner of Goldendale that he had be-

Plans are maturing for the building
Of number of steamboats, for serv-
ice on the upper Columbia river be-
tween the portage railroad and
Lewiston, says the Oregon Daily Jour-
nal. Joseph Suite has been asked to
quote prices for the building of light
draft boats. Mr.. Supple said last
evening:
indications are that contracts will
soon be let for the building of num-
Der of boats to ply on the upper
Columbia river. 1t will be possible
to have them ready for service by
early spring, which is in time to bring
the major portion of the grain crop to
the portage road from the territory
of the upper Columbia and Snake riv-
er valleys. In fact the river will be
at better boating stage then than
at any other season of the year."
Mr.. Supple says he will build - any
boats contracted for at Portlandsand
ship them in knocked down form to
Cello. He has built and shipped a
number Of sternwheelers and propel-
lers in this manner for service in
Alaskan waters.
The fame of the Portland shipbuild-
ers has spread to the orient, and had
it not been for the opening of nos
tilities a contract would have been
let for the building of several stern
wheelers here for operation in the
rivers of China. The vessels would
have been shipped in knocked down
form on the regular freighters ply
ing from this port. When peace
has been restored it is said that the
matter of building river boats at
Portland for that quarter of the globe
will again be taken up.

The Cotton Situation.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Miller & Co.,
in their weekly cotton review say:
The report that rain has fallen in
certain sections of Texas, which had
suffered from drought has stimulated
trade by the belief that the cotton
prospect in Texas has materially i'm
proved. The advices from Tennessee
are also more favorable, but it would
be advisable to await more definite
reports before accepting the theory
that the changes in the weather will
cause any material change in the cot
ton crop. Now cotton is beginning to
move quite freely and large increase
in receipts is expected before the be-
ginning of next month. So far this has
had no particularly weakening effect
upon the market.
