Interest in better horsefesh is not by
any means confined TO this locality.
The Davenport Percheron Horse COM
pany of Davenport, WASH, has just
purchased the 3-year-old Percheron
stallion, Rosenberg. The price paid
was $4,000. Rosenberg was the
grand champion at the international
livestock exposition at Chicago, where
he met and defeated all prize winners
from the other 1905 expositions, both
of Europe and America. The price at
which be was sold is the highest ever
paid for draft horse, and establishes
a new record for registered breeding
horses.

FEEDING A MORBID SENTIMENT
Spokesman Review.

A murderer was executed few days
ago in st. Paul and the st. Paul and
Minneapolis papers devoted several
columns of space to lurid description
of all the details. The same papers
have from time to time editorially
condemned, as was most proper, the
pandering to the morbid taste of that
portion of the community which de-
lights in sensational news pabulum.
but the city editors and the editorial
writers have taken different views of
the subject.
1t appears, however, that the papers
have not only offended good taste, tut
have published their accounts of the
hanging in direct contravention of a
Minnesota law relating to executions,
which says that newspapers shall pub
lish only bare statement of the fact
that the convict has been executed.
Their offense has been called to the
attention of grand jury and there
is a probability that somebody will be
made to feel that the law is not to be
dead letter. The same law pre-
scribes who shall be witnesses of the
execution, limiting the number to
very few officials, and barring news
paper men entirely. When enacted
some years ago there was certain
observance of it on the part of news
papers and sheriffs. but latterly the
restrictions have been very largely
disregarded.
The better sentiment of any COM
munity cannot but agree that it were
wise to avoid graphic details the
publication of which can serve no
good purpose and tends to create
and stimulate mental conditions
which ought rather to be held in
check.

A LONG LOOK AHEAD.
Boston Herald.

The Japanese cabinet has mapped
out fine financial program. The
war debts of the empire, which
amount to something more than $780,
100000 are all to be paid off in
third of century, six conversion
operations settling the whole business
prior to 1910. The domestic debt,
amounting to about third of the war
debt, is to be discharged in about the
same period, and will be all wiped
out by 1912. 1t is, however, a far
cry from 1906 to 1912. Events
might happen in that period entailing
ON Jap an larger war debt than that
with which she is now burdened.
Thirty six years ago the foreign debt
of Japan was less than So, 600 900, and
was placed at an interest rate of 8 per
cent, this amount being borrowed for
the construction of railways. The
total debt of Japan at that time was
something in excess of 100000, 900
about one-half being represented by
paper money which had been issued
by the government. The Japanese
army did not then exceed 10000 men.
and there was no Japanese navy what
ever. Had anyone predicted at that
|. time that in another generation Japan
would reach her present station as
great power and that she would de-
feat Russia both on land and sea the
prophecy would have been laughed at
as altogether too ridiculous to be given
serious consideration. Who can tell
what the next three and half de-
cades are to bring about in the far
east? Therefore, while it may be
we'll for the finance minister of japan
to plan for the future, it is also we'll
to keep in mind the fact that 1942
may see conditions in japan and in
China entirely different from those
existing there today.

The assessment rolls are nearly
ready for the payment of taxes. On
the rolls the Albany Democrat says it
is unable to find the names of M ont
gomery Ward & Co. and Sears, Roe
buck 81 Co. For some reason or
other these people have not been as
sessed though doing big business in

very cheap grade goods. People who
support them might we'll stop and
think whether it is fair deal for the

ATHENA, FEBRUARY % 1906

The amalgamation of the different
commercial associations of the
county which took place in Pendleton
Friday evening will serve to advance
the interest of Umatilla county as a
whole, if the work of advertising her
resources is judiciously and impair
TALLY performed. The sum of $500
has been pledged for the immediate
expenses of the league and it is pro-
posed to employ two men to travel on
trains Between Pocatello and Pendle-
ton for the purpose of making known
to immigrants and prospective settlers
the advantages this county offers to
homeseekers. Advertising matter
will be distributed among the home
seekers on these trains, and the To-
cality having the most convincing
advertising matter, resources for home
building of course considered, will
have the advantage in securing the
attention and interest of homeseekers.
The Press would suggest to the COM
mercial associations of Athena, Wes-
ton and Milton, that the best interests
of the EAST End" of the county can
be better conserved, if insistence is
made that one of the men advertising
the county on the trains running into
Pendleton, be from this part of the
county.

smoking long pipes and reposing their
stockinged feet upon large footstools.

ions of the room.
The English lobby is a parlor or sit.

ed room containing one long table. The
apartment is more like a private dining
room, and everybody Is everybody else's
friend. The meal is especially served,
the walters show especial Difference
and everything bears a tone of home
life. AS each man leaves the table he
is seen to drop a half penny In a little
box. This is an unwritten law of the
land, and the money thus collected goes
to pay for schools and orphanages for
the children of travelling statesmen who
die without leaving sufficient means for
their support. Several Of these schools
and orphanages are maintained

If Horace Greeley were alive to-day
/ doubt II he would still give to young
men the unqualified advice to go west
and grow up with the country, says a
Californian. The west is still a good
place to make money, but not a good
place to get rich. l believe a man can
build. up a competence more easily in
the east than he can in the land be-
yond the Missouri River. 1t Is too much
a case of easy comes, easy goes" Cal
ifornians are the most extravagant per-
sons In the world. San Francisco Is
the most ~extravagant city in the world.
Young lei find it easy to make money
there and they find 1t still more easy
to spend it. AS a result they are in
clined to waste early opportunities.
There are still a number of good
placer mines in the foothills not far
from Stockton. While l was out there
last summer 1 met q young chap who
was working q claim and making good
money out of 1t. His luck attracted
buyers and he sold out for $4,000. He
took the first train for San Francisco,
and l saw him when he came back,
six weeks later, without a penny. He
even had to sell part of his clothes to
get together another mining kit. He
hadn't the slightest regret owe the
manne In which he had blown his
money, for he was still talking of the
fun he would have with the next
stake" His case is merely an aver
age one, but If he had lived in the east
he might not have made so much
money. but he would have kept most
OF 1t.
