WATER wITCHING" NO FAKE.

Let science doff its hat to the
peach limb of the "water WITCH"
Let geologists and expert engineers
put away their transits, compasses,
theodolites and other costly and in
fricate paraphernalia. The schools
Of science in England have determin-
ed that there is virtue in the "water
witching" methods employed by un-
sophisticated experts from time i'm
memorial. The San Francisco Exam
iner says:
Students of natural sciences in
Great Britain are just now engaged in
a series of experiments to prove
whether the divining rod, by means
of which many persons claim to be
able to locate underground streams,
and some also to discover copper,
gold, etc, is really what it has been
asserted to be.
They propose to ascertain by care
full trials with accurate instruments,
whether there are any unusual con-
ditions, electrical, vibratory or as re-
CARDS temperature in the earth, near
where water or minerals are to be
found.
Unbelievers have scoffed their fill
at the "dowser," as he is called in
England, and have stoutly maintain
ed that the whole thing was a mat
ter Of guesswork, the location for a
well being picked out purely by the
lay Of the land. But scientific ex-
perts now argue that after all there
may be something in it. They point
out that many people are specially
sensitive to atmospheric conditions,
and old wounds and corns frequently

OUR SCIENTIFIC PERu.s.

These aggravating scientists, they
keep us in anxiety
About the many living things that
lurk in food and drink;
The toilers of the working class. the
lights of high society,
All cling alike to slender threads
above an awful brink
The food we eat to bolster life is filled
with most atrocious things.
Within the cordials we imbibe out
landish bugs are found;
They are infinitesimaI, but none the
less ferocious things,
They feed upon our vitals till they
land us underground!
In every glass of beer you swallow
deadly malticillicus
That perforate your inner tank
plumb full of tiny holes,
You eat pie, the Colicus gets into
your umbilicus
And lies there doing business like
a lot of living Goals.
You dare not drink a glass of milk,
and soon your whole interior
Win house lactealicitis in a colony
of death,
You swallow sour mash bourbon
that you think is quite superior
To other drinks, and ryeolitis floats
out on your breath.
You eat plate of luscious beans. and
Bostonitis catches you
A cultured ailment, it is true. but
one we never crave
An oyster stew will seal your doom
unless the doctor snatches YOU
With some bivalvuloric cure right
from the waiting grave.
In beef the steeroscopic germs are
numerous and ravenous,
In spuds the Murphycoccus mites
in hosts are slowed away;
In short we humans never know what
dreadful things we have in us
Till the papers tell US what the
scientificusses say.
That any of us yet survive is really
a mystery,
'Tis strange these bodies now are
not but pulseless mortal clay,
For never since creations dawn in
all the old earths history
Did microscopic perils threaten as
they do today.
If we should to the mountains flee
and live on snow and mountain
air
1t wouldn't be a fortnight till some
scientific cuss
Would in a scientific way investigate
our bill of fare
And find that germs were waiting
in cold storage there for us.

UMATILLA LEADS ALL.

1t is a historical fact that the sage
brush district has led Oregon in the
matter of high valuationse of proper
ty in making assessments.
Assessor Strain. of this county, set
the pace and now Multnomah. the
chief county in the state, swings into
line, proving conclusvely the wisdom
of the Strain idea.
Assessor sigier, of Multnomah
county. announces that the valua-
tion of that county will be increased
from S51.OOO,O0O this year to about
$3.50. 100000 next year, or an increase
of 200 per cent
His stated object in making this
radical change is the ancient method
of assessing in that county is to low
er the levies.
This viii be gratifying to the many
supporters of Mr. Strain in this and
other counties of Eastern Oregon,
and will give other timid assessors
the courage to put their faith into
execution.
The railroads will find that there
is a demand all along the line to
reach the immense amounts of prop
erty that has heretofore escaped tax
alton.

THE BEEF TRUSTS DEFIANCE.

The Beef trust is playing a desper-
ate game. For 20 years it has been
dipping deeper and deeper into the
pockets of the consumers. Today it
picks them at will.
Now that popular indignation has
forced the federal authorities to in
quire into the trusts methods they
find it's agents absconding over the
Canadian border and tamperlng with
witnesses. 1t parties the indictments
of its employees by raising the price Of
meat. If the government "bothers"
1t, let the public sweat! AS If to
show its contempt of the courts it re-
asserts its absolute control of the
country's markets.
Beginning in the usual way as
slaughterers of cattle, the beef pack
ers have accumulated the power to
bleed the stock growers on one hand
and the consumers on the other. Hav-
ing secured ownership of the stock
yards, they have crushed competition
in packing. BY their operation of
refrigerator car lines they have mon
opolized the food trade and fixed
charges to suit their own pockets.
Six beef trust employees have been
indicted. Eight or ten are In exile.
But the real heads of the trust remain
in security. They enjoy the benefit
of the tariff they dictated, they are
on excellent terms with the railroads
and their monopoly is unbroken.
Congress should remove the protec-
tion they have too long enjoyed

The project of having a tented city
at Portland for those of the Lewis
and Clark fair visitors who may de-
sire to camp out, has been discussed,
and it is expected that a 10-acre tract
will be secured for the purpose, it
to be near the car line and within
short distance from the fair grounds.
There are many people who are ac-
customed to spend the summer either
at the seaside or at the mountains
and a large number of these have
expressed themselves as wishing to
secure camping ground near the fair
grounds the coming season, and there
enjoy for a few weeks the grand
sights which will be offered within
the gates. The idea is to prepare
space for at least 1ONO tents, establish
water mains on it, arrange for the
disposition of garbage that will ac-
cumulate, and have the grounds un-
der the supervision of a man who
will give the campers all necessary
attention consequent upon such an
undertaking. outdoor life in this
manner would certainly be much
more pleasant and less expensive than
that in connection with a crowded
hotel or boarding house in the heart
of Portland.

indicate changes that are not appre-
ciated by the other senses.
So eminent an authority as Sir Will
liam Preece has suggested that a
stream of water underground may
produce vibrations which are appar-
ent to certain persons peculiarly con-
stituted, and similar conditions may
be present where gold is located. So
now scientists are hard at work to
determine whether there may not be
sure methods of finding
deposits by scientific observ-
ations, instead of being guided solely
by geological lore.
If that happy day ever arrives
mining may become the exact science
which many investors in wildcat
schemes know to their sorrow it hith-
erto has certainly not been.

Every county in oregon will have
its favorite candidate for governor
next year. several dozen candidates
having been already announced, but
when the votes are counted again, it
will be found that George f. Cham
berlain will have been elected. No
governor of Oregon before him has
acted as agreeably as he and all
classes and parties are satisfied with
his business administration. Under
his direction the lieu and school land
frauds and irregularities have been
uncovered and the state safeguarded
against further loss in this line. The
republican legislature and the demo-
cratic governor worked harmonious
ly together and in all the history of
the state there is not such another
record of energy and progress in the
governors office as that made by Mr..
Chamberlain.

Every road supervisor in the coun-
ty should be present at the state
good roads meeting to be held here
next month. 1t will be a saving to
the tax payers to have the roadmak-
ers of the county study improved
methods which will insure permanent
roads for the country districts As it
is now, half of the money spent in
road construction and repairs each
year is wasted, because the work
must be repeated each spring, This
good roads movement may seem a
dry and prosaic affair but it is the
most vital movement ever started in
the west The saving from good
country roads, in hauling products to
market is beyond computation, aside
from the pleasure of driving over
good roads instead of lodging over
collection of ruts and rocks where
road should be.
