SAILORS BILL OF FARE.

The Victoria CB. c. Colonist I'm
speaking of the cost of outfltting Il
dominion fisheries ship for patrol
duty on the Pacific coast, hays:
II cost $1,000 to victual the crew
for 10 months ending April 80, 1905.
and the wages amounted to only
s7400. That is to say, they were
supposed to have eaten more than
their wages came to. In private life
that would not be considered sound
finance.
y survey Of the bill of particulars
is q somewhat astonishing one for
seafaring men. and If we were to
publish it in detail we fancy there
would be an inconvenient rush for
billets In the service. Nothing that
the stomach of man could wish for
has been omitted.
Among the "necessaries" provided
were plentiful supplies of cocoa,
cream, greengages, oysters peaches,
assorted fruit, pears. chicken and tur-
key galore. blueberries. cherries,
clans, honey by the case. jam, lob
sters by the case, assorted cakes. pine
apple, shrimps (no less), strawber-
ries. lunch tongue, blackberries
chicken soups, maple syrup, nuts and
raisins. plums. preserves, pickles
chocolate and oceans of sugar and tea
and coffee and asparagus. etc.

INDEPENDENT VOTING.

The East Oregonian is tempted to
offer q reward for a straight ticket Of
any party voted in yesterdays elec-'
tion in Umatilla county.
There never has been such a day
for ~slashing' in Oregon. Party
tickets we're ripped from end to end.
The blue pencil Of Independence was
sharpened time after time. and did
active service in every precinct in the
state.
II i the most healthful sign Of the
times. Old fogyism, WHICH is typified
in narrow partisanism is a scarecroW
Of the past. and IS silently skulking
out Of the limelight Of the present.
Men Of strong minds and individual
force, refuse to be dictateu to by any
party, and for this reason. the
scratched ticket will be the rule and
not the exception hereafter.
Individual fitness for official posi-
tion Is coming to be the rule by which
voters are guided in eiections. Parti-
san labels do not count for much any
more. There enust be some other
qualification for candidates.

MONIES GREAT WEALTH.

No wonder that the miners, capital
lists, engineers and others who sailed
today on the Victoria and Ohio for
Nome leave in cheerful spirits. says
the Seattle News. The Nome mining
camp has become one Of the wonders
Of the mineral world. A. queen She
ba remarked when she saw the splen-
dor Of Jerusalem. not half has been
told Of the Nome gold deposits.
During the winter. the miners in
this camp and other camps on the
Seward peninsula have worked with
good profit As the result the winter
output amounts to si.OOO.OOO. This
large sum awaits the Seattle steamers
and within few months it will arrive
here and enter into active circulation.
This product * widely distributed.
The Pioneer Mining company on Lit
tie creek, discovery of recent years,
has an output OF sl,4OO,OOO, the pro-
duct, Of three claims Of which the
well known Portland bench is one,
the amount there being s250,0O0. J..
c. Brown, a well known miner, also
OF Little Greek, has s25O,OOO TO his
credit, while the Cyrus Noble claim
has yielded 100000.
r,t.ua fatt-
tive outputs. on the second beach
line the products will be s40O, 900, Dry
Greek being the largest producer.
The romance Of mining days is dis
played in the good fortune Of Nixon,
Bard and Denhart, who, at the Bessie
bench on Holyoke creek, have an out
put Of S45O,O0O. In this noted strike,
the greatest of the winter, 500 pans
have been taken from the beach wash
on bedrock and $40 pans are taken
throughout the entire pay streak
which is 200 feet long and seven feet
deep.
1t appears that fourth interest III
this highly rich property was given
away for the assessment work. This
labor would be done readily in Seattle
for about 5000 and for less in dull
times.
Sluicing is in progress; prospectors
are busy, and hundreds vf acres OF
tundra ground have been bonded
| Nome will undoubtedly be the busiest
mining camp on the planet during the
present season. Much Of the money
made in the winter time will be USED
in systematic prospecting, insuring an.
| other great gold crop in the coming
! winter.

DRYEST TOWN IN THE WORLD.

San Francisco has become the
champion dry town Of the world.
Even soda water and pink lemonade
are barred. This condition is due to
an order by the board Of health, pro-
hibting the sale of all beverages, ex-
cepting boiled or distilled water cof-
fee, tea, boiled milk, or buttermilk.
All the soft drinks are barred.
This action was taken because it
was found that the cider sold was in
nocent of any relation to, the apple,
and was poisonous. Soda water was
simply impure city water, carbonated
and favored. All soda water factories
have been closed Indefinitely and
every precaution has been taken to
prevent the violation of the law.
The city water is still polluted and
these strict measures are necessary to
prevent epidemics.

CORRUPTION IN CANADA.

The Canadian government is not
free from corruption ana graft as is
shown by the following excerpt from
lengthy and forcible editorial from
the Victoria Daily Colonist.
+. The editorial boldly accuses the
Canadian premier of being closely as
ISOLATED with grafters and says that
the government is rotten with de-
partmental corruption. Popular SEN
timent Is evidently awakening in Cam
ada, if the tone Of the Colonst's edi-
torial may be taken as an index. and
all that is needed to cause an up
heaval Of the government and a revolt
against the corruptiomsts is the ap-
pearance Of a Roosevelt or a Folk
upon the scene. The Colonist says Of
Sir wilfred Laurier, premier Of Can
ada:
The association Of Laurier and Loot
is quite natural, and justifiable. No
body suspects Sir Wilfred Of looting
or grating. but he Is in very bad
company H is head Of a govern
ment that has become notorious for
the rotteuners OF several Of its lead
ing departments, against which lib
erals are rising in revolt all over the
country. II permits it. and, there
fore. either # has his tacit approva
or he is powerless In the nands Of his
followers. IN either case, there IS moi
much o se said in his defence.
IN a partnership, Il one partner Is
wicked" the public holds the firm
responsible for his mlsdeeds. The
good partner must either dissolve tbs
partnership or accept the onus witt
the wicked partner.

COOP WORK FOR CONGRESS.

Congress is making fine progress
with its work. Both houses have
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-06-05

passed the rate bill and the free al
oohol bill. two measures which are Of
interest to the whole country.
Conference committees are now
considering amendments TO these bills
made BY the senate. which viii prob
ably be accepted by the house. Be
sides passing these bills the appropria-
lion bills have been advanced by both
houses. 1t Is reported also that the
conferees on the statehood bill have
agreed TO report measure following
closely the lines OF The Foraker
amendment which provides for the
admission OF Oklahoma and Indian
territory as the for,y-sixth state and
for a plebiscite in New Mexico and
arizona on joint s,atehoor.
should each territory voting sepa-
rately give a majority for Joint state
hood, ii may be brough, about al the
next session Of congress This would
undoubtedly settle the question Of
joint statehood in the negative. since
Arizona is practically a unit against
partnership with New Mexico.
Il Is likely that the exposures OF
packing house abuses made by Nell
and Reynolds for President Roosevelt
will force congress TO pass Che Beyer-
idge amendment 10 the agricultural
appropriation bill providing for proper
inspection Of home meat products
shipped from one state to another.

TO END WAR.

Goodwin's Salt Lake Weekly of
April "A, says: Despite wars and
clashings. the races of men are draw
ing nearer together. The Peace Com
gross will soon convene; before five
more decades Of years pass. that con-
gress will formulate a decree which
the nations will accept. and thence
forth wars between Christian nations
will no longer be possible. It must be
so. War has now become so expen-
sive a butchery that men are begin
ming to recoil before the thought Of it
not to believe that wars final guns
will soon fire the salute to beautiful
Peace is not to believe in progress.

during the campaign Just closed precludes
his preferment, unless Burnam has de-

May divide the Omces.

A statement that Mr.. Dahlman made
several times within the last several
weeks has given certain republicans con-
siderable hope. II was to the effect that
the new mayor would cut the spolls and
turn over q share to republicans whose
votes helped him win. Intlmatlon was
made too that some republicans who
didn't help him win would probably be
retained on merit and as further evidence
that the democrats would not hog 1t ALI
or try TO batter down the tarpaulin too
tight on the city hall.
Reports that seem 10 have some reason
in them were prevalent that City Engineer
Rosewater, who has served many years
continuously in the position under various
administrations. and City Electrician Mich
nelsen, whose original appointment was on
a faux pas between the mayors ONCE and
the council, would likely hold their Jobs.
Danish-Americans who were prominent In
helping elect Dahlman have got busy for
Nichaelsen, while City Engineer Rosewater
has many friends among the democrats
who are pleading for his retention on the
ground of fitness and ability not approached
by any likely candidate from their own

GOVERNMENT INSPECTION.

The Han. James A Tawney, accord
ing to the n. Y. Sun, has made Won
derful discoveries since he became
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations of the extent to which pa
ternalism has grown in this country
Not" he says, until I came to ex-
anime the estimates of the depart
ments for this year did l have any
conception of the rapidity with which
the extension of this federal policing
of the domestic affairs of the people
of the United States is growing and
being extended"
1t appears that the federal government
has inspectors everywhere nosing into
things, and these inspectors cost
money. The tendency of all govern
ment is to create offices and this re-
suits naturally from the legislation
which creates duties 1t is seen in
the local government where the ten
dency of the council is to pass ordi-
nanceS which call for new officials and
new sums On the salary roll The fed
eral government. being a much bigger
machine, its development along these
lines is much more startling when
the facts are collected and examined.
The government might have saved
money and trouble had it extended its
bureaucratic service faster in some
directions. What might have been the
result if the government had policed

ogents unless it is proved that these
acts were officially authorized or sane
toned.
The funds of trades unions in Eng
land are very large The judgment in
the Taft Vale case carried several hum
dred thousand dollars. Such unions
as the miners have strike and benefit
funds of millions of dollars. The pro-
posed law would in effect exempt these
funds from seizure.
1t is also proposed in other labor
legislation to reduce the hours of labor
bv act of parliament. The coal mines
bill provides for a gradual reduction
to eight hours per day. 1t affects
$4,000 workmen The bill had been
rejected four times by conservative
parliaments, but it has unanimously
passed second reading in the present
house of commons.
The results of the organized labor
vote show in the British tax law. The
income tax, which is one of the great
est sources of British revenues and
which should also be a source of reve-
nue. in the United States, does not col
lect a penny from British tradesunion-
lists. whose earnings fall below the
minimum income tax. The progressive
inheritance tax, which we also should
have, does not touch them. Taxes on
luxuries fall upon them only in their
consumption of tobacco, beer and spir-
it's. The English tariff almost entire
ly exempts from tax articles of neces-
sary common consumption.
These bills must of course receive
the assent of the house of lords, where
there may be resistance. But it is
one of the parliamentary traditions
which form a part of Britain's unwrit-
ten constitution that the lords must
not too long show a stubborn spirit
against the matured, deliberate and
persistent purpose of the commans.

THE SUNDAY SUIT.

Some of our eastern contemporaries
are discussing the question of Sunday
clothes. We know something about
Sunday closing out this way and our
Sunday clothes we put on as a matter
of course. The New Workers protest
that they make no distinction between
Sunday and Monday or any other day
of the week in the quality and cut Of
their coats; that they have no long
skirted coats and striped trousers hung
up especially for Sunday use, but dress
themselves on that day as on any
other, and generally well.
If the New Yorker has no Sunday
clothes, he is missing one of the priv
ileges of prosperous times, even though
his Monday clothes be of the best, for
somehow or other, a man puts on a
different mental habit and attitude
with different clothes. Good clothes
are always conducive to self satisfac-
ton and they are by no means an I'M
important factor in a mans success,
in his self confidence and his self
poise. So much the more does it fol-
low that a distinction between the
dress worn through the busy days of
the week and that set apart for Sun
day should be made. 1t is not fanciful
to assume that the benefit of change
from a work day to rest day is not
fully appreciated without a Sunday
suit. 1t carries the individual into a
different mental atmosphere and into
a different state of mind, and just how
much the proper observance of the
Sabbath day depends upon the Sunday
suit, it would be hard to say; but it
is not a wholly negligible factor for
Sunday observance.
