Judge w. H. Moore was elected, after
an exciting campaign, mayor of the
Puget Sound metropolis.
In other elections the city has gone
republican from 5000 to 1000, but on
the issue of public ownership the nor
NAL majority of that party was en-
tirely lost. The democratic newspa-
per worked for the candidate of its
party, but frankly avowed its enmity
for the principle of municipal man

The people took the matter in their
own hands, however, and the mere
politicians found themselves helpless
before the solid ranks opposing them.
Thus from the Atlantic to the Pa

KEEPERS OF THE GATE.

Where free and strong the whole day
long
The shouting seas swing In,
With friendly roar to storm the shore
That filings them back their din;
There headlands bold a bay infold,
Where calm and silent wait
The guns that browse, till war shall
rouse
The Keepers of the Gate.
Through portals wide the ebbing tide
Steals out to open sea.
Past sleeping hills where stirs and
thrills
A wind-song wild and free.
From far and near the trade-ships
steer.
Wide-winged with precious freight.
To gain the land where sentinel stand
The guns that keep the gate.
When summer sun his days work
done,
Has sought his glowing bed;
When watch-lamps stand by sea and
land
And swing in skies o'erhead:
Midst nights soft gleam the great
guns dream,
On guard DER sleeping state.
Dream lasting peace, when need shall
cease
To keep the nations gate.

UMATTLLA. A PASSWORD.

Umatilla, Oregon, in the days of
the stage-coach, a prosperous and
populous town on the banks of the
Columbia, where supplies for the
great inland empire were transferred
from the steamer to freight wagons
and pack teams, has awakened from
sleep. brushed the sands of the desert
from her eyes and arisen to the dig
nifty of being more than a dot on the
map, says the Pacific Echo of the
Women of Woodcraft. A move is on
foot to incorporate the town.
Old members of the Women OF
Woodcraft, whose memories run back
to 1897, will remember the name as
the first password of the new order,
and what time they had twisting
their tongues around it. A tribe of
Indians and a river share the name
with the town.

WHAT BURBANK TEACHES.

The greatest teacher of childhood
should be nature. Send the child out
to get acquainted with her. Let it
make playmates of the sun and the
wind and the flowers. Let it drink in
the purity of the out-of-doors. the
natural foe of all that is cramping
and degrading and that tends to lower
the standard of manhood
The child may not learn as much
about the structure of the plant, but
he will know the plant when he sees
it, and love it. His knowledge of the
anatomy of a grasshopper may be
somewhat more limited. but the
creatures of the field and the wood
will be his friends. In short, give the
child more of nature and less of arti-
ficiality, and the result will be for
the betterment of the human race
Such in brief, is what Luther Bur-
bank would teach.

GOOD WORK FOR OREGON.

The people of Willamette valley
who are receiving direct benefits
from the agitation of the Oregon De-
velopment league for reduced rail-
road fares, extension of railroad lines
and better traffic arrangements, have
! cause to be grateful to Judge stephen
\. Lowell of this city, who, as a
member of the transportation COM
mittee of the Oregon Development
league wrote most of the report of
that committee demanded the re-
forms which the railroads have
promised to speedily grant. and which
have been effected in part. in western
oregon, already.
In writing this remarkable report
which recommended revolutionary
principles in railroad activity, in COM
parison to the old policy of Oregon
roads, Judge Lowell and his associates
had but the best interest of Oregon at
heart, regardless of the power Of the
corporations. regardless of moneyed
influences in state politics, regard
less of aught but the welfare of the
whole people
The report of that committee
started the wheels rolling in Oregon
industrial circles. Following closely
upon its publication the Hartman
people announced the appropriation
of over 100000 for extensions and
improvements in oregon; new traffic
arrangements went into immediate
effect in western Oregon; surveys of
new lines were accelerated and a new
spirit of activity thrilled through the
entire state.
1t is self-sacrificing and fearless
work of this character which uplifts
and develops states. oregon was ripe
for that committees report. For
quarter of a century railroad develop
ment had been at standstill. A great
state was painting for progress. In
terror valleys and settlements had
prayed in vain for relief The report
of that committee was the first prom
Use that had ever reached them.
Oregon owes much to Judge Lowell
who wrote that report in part, and
who launched at Eugene last fall the
slogan which is still resoundng in the
state: "OREGONIANS FOR ORE
CON; NOT OREGON FOR ORE
GONIANS."
Such a man will be a power for
good in the United States senate from
| Oregon.
