Good News.

The following item taken
from the Rails County Times
will be good news to many of
the witnesses in the DR.. Jones
Watson case, who may have
been waiting a long time for
their fees:
The money for the costs in
the Watson case has been turn
ed over to the treasurer of
Rails county, Mrs Emma B.
Briscoe, for distribution. Ow,
ing to the fact there have been
many changes made in the orig
nal cost bill by State Auditor
Wilder, it will take sometime
for Mrs. Briscoe to straighten
the matter out, hence it will be
a week before payment will be
made to those who are entitled
to the money.

ABSTENHOUS MINERS.

The country will have a higher
opinion of the anthracite miners of
Pennsylvania. now that 10000 or 15,-
600 of them. men. women and chill
dren, have shown themselves as mem
bers of great total abstinence socie-
ty says the Memphis News-Scimitar.
Men who possess the drinking tenn
perament and who refrain from in
dulging that temperament exercise an
admirable self-control, and men who
can control themselves can control
their destinies.
President Roosevets address be-
fore the meeting was characteristical-
ly blunt and candid and full of good,
hard sense.
He pointed out in strangely vivid
colors the excessive drinking and at
what disadvantage It places man
in the race of life.
The man who drinks to excess acts
as imprudently as does the man who
voluntarily ties one hand behind his
back when he is engaging in a fight.
The complaint made by the clergy
man whose letter was read by the
president that the shorter working
day and the higher scale of wages the
more time and money was spent in
the saloons by some of the miners,
may be we'll founded; but 1t is only an
incident to the emancipation of labor.
It was held in the bondage Of drudg-
cry so long that 1t is not yet fully
conscious Of its liberty and cannot
properly use It. 1t will soon learn.

BLAMED CARNEGIE.

"On an accommodation train which
had just left Pittsburg." related a
travelling man. there were gathered
in the front of one of the cars a num-
ber of high school girls who were re-
hearsing the lines of a play. One
young lady acted as prompter and
held the manuscript. The others
timidly responded with their lines,
not wishing to appear conspicuous be-
fore the other passengers.
"As the train rolled on, however,
the girls gained confidence, and the
reading of the lines grew more force
full and emphatic. Their sentences
became audible and the passengers
covertly listened, ignoring the evening
papers.
"'Then.' hissed tall, slim girl en-
tirely oblivious of her surroundings,
and whose eyes glowered upon the
prompter the question is. who stole
the record book?'
'Carnegie!' yelled a brakeman as
he threw open the door for the Pitts
burg suburb.
THAT ended the rehearsal. But
the mirth which rolled through the
car as the train came to a stop was
most refreshing"

MOVEMENT OF GRAIN.

According to reports received by
the department of commerce and Ia
Dor through the bureau of statistics,
total grain arrivals during the month
of June at nine domestic seaports on
the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts,
amounted to 13,7S7,13O bushels, and
were slightly in excess Of correspond
ing movements in 1904. For the first
six months Of the current calendar
year 129,116,207 bushels of grain
were received at these cities in COM
parison with 1O7036,242 bushels in
1904.
The total receipts of grain and flour
and corn meal reduced to bushels, at
New York during the first half Of the
current year, aggregated 49,510,933
bushels, representing a rail movement
of 47,666,S23 bushels. a canal move
ment of 1,496,300 bushels. and a river
and coast movement of 347,S10 BUSH
els. In 1904 the movement amounted

AN EFFECTIVE SAMPLE.

clergyman was very fond of n
particularly hot brand of pickles. and.
finding great difficulty in procuring
the same sort at hotels when trav-
cling, always carried bottle with
him. One day when dining at a res
taurant with his pickles in front of
him, a stranger sat down at the same
table and with an American accent,
presently asked the minister to pass
the pickles. The minister, who en-
joyed the joke, politely passed the
bottle and in a few minutes had the
satisfaction of seeing the Yankee
watering at the eyes and gasping for
breath.
q guess" said the latter, that you
are a parson?"
Yes, my friend, I am replied the
minister
81 suppose you preach?" asked the
Yankee.
Yes, sir; I preach twice a week

"Dou you ever preach about he'll

duty to remind my congregation OF

minister.

HARRY LANE AND TOM WORD.

Gambling and grating are being
crushed out in Portland by Mayor
Lane and Sheriff Word. and it is be-
ing done without any flourish of
trumpets or grandstand music.
Visitors TO Portland say that open
gambling in the big resorts of Port
land is absolutely removed and sup
pressed. Gambling behind locked
doors is the only kind to be found and
that is so much afraid of a raid from
the irresistible sheriff that it is no
satisfaction for the old sports TO play
under such stress and strain.
Grating city officials are being run
out Of the public service by the mayor,
Just as rapidly as the tinhorn is be-
ing run out Of the joint by the sheriff.
II a man is unfit for public SER
want, no matter what his lineage, ped
igree, history or character. he must
get out. If he will not resign without
a rumpus, he is summarily discharg-
ed. There is no place for the CRATER
in the regime Of Harry Lane.
And prominent and pious business
men Of Portland said it could never
be done. They said gambling and
grating had always been the rule in
Portland and that they always would
be.
But it is being done. in the face
Of the old and powerful corrupt COM
binations and organizations opposing
both sheriff and mayor. 1t is being
done without raising taxes or demor-
alizing business. 1t is being done
without hurting solitary legitimate
business interest Of the city, and the
news that it is being done had added
20 per cent to the standing Of Port

PENDLETON NOT IN PERIL.

Walla Walla and Lewiston con-
tinually talk of the building of the
main line of the O. r. & n. railway
down the Snake river from Huu'ing-
ton to Lewiston, and on to Portland
via Walla Walla and water grade,
thus leaving Pendleton a deserted
country village on brancn line from
Huntington to Umatla
1t is kind in Pendleton's energetic
rivals to leave the branch line across
the Blue mountains in operation to
handle the traffic of Grand Ronde
and Umatilla county. Otherwise we
should be compelled to so to Tina
tilla or Cold Springs to reach a rIil-
road
In the first place it is $50 miles
farther from Huntington to Portland
by way of Lewiston down the Snake,
than it is by way of La Grande and
Pendleton. In the second place over
half of that $50 miles would be alb
solutely producing as it is
rocky mountain gorge through which
a railroad could not be built without
burrowing through solid rock walls
most Of the way.
\ branch line of the o. r. & n.
now projected through Wallowa to
Lewiston would reach ALI the traffic
that would be reached by the road
down the river, excepting a little, per-
haps. in the vicinity of the Seven Dew
lis, which can be reached by a branch
line from either Baker City or Hunt
ington, through Eagle and Pine val
leys such branch now being in con-
temptation.
And the last and most convincing
argument against the intention of the
o. r. & y. to change its main line
from the Blue mountain route to the
Snake river line, is the fact that
enormous expenditures . have been
made i'm me'.a~ the mouu,atn grades,
traels, tunnels. bridges and buildings

OREGON NOT SELFISH.

The East Oregonian cannot agree
with the Portland Board of Trade in
its effort to have congress so change
the reclamation law that the money
derived from each state for the re-
clamation fund be expended in that
state
While Oregon would be immeasur-
ably benefited by such change in
the law, yet Oregon cannot afford to
take such a selfish stand. She can
not afford to go on record before the
world in saying that because she has
been favored by large sales of public
lands. that she must have all the per-
petual benefit accruing from those
sales.
Such a selfish policy would hold
back Nevada, Wyoming. Utah and
other states which have more feasible
reclamation projects than Oregon. 1t
would deny other sections of the
country a legitimate advancement due
them from the government through
the reclamation law.
Because Oregon is the largest con-
tributor to the fund she should not
show selfish spirit. Such action
will arouse public sentiment in the
east against the state and might work
a damaging modification of the re-
clamation law by congress. If the
money is expended in the west that is
sufficient

land among the great cities OF the
country. The oustinG of gambling and
grating from Portland is a national
event, as the eyes of the world are
upon the city this year.
All it requires to run vice and cor
ruption out is just the nerve to get
after them. They are both cowardly.
They have no legal or moral ground
to stand upon, and any bold, fearless
man can put them beneath his heel
despite the false cry of business"
