FIRST MORMON CAPITOL.

Its halls nearly deserted and its ex-
Oldest settlers. the old state house of
Utah still stands on the center of
the capitol block in Fillmore City,
Millard county, a silent sentry of the
first days in Utah's dramatic birth as
a territorial government.
The two-story building in the heart
of Fillmore, which held the first as
sembly of the Utah legislature In
1865, is now practically deserted.
1t was here that the first legislature
met in 1855 under the governorship
OF brigham Young. Now, however,
this has been converted into a dance
hall, and the floor space is at times,
when dramatic production is being
given, converted into seating space.
The dimensions of the building are
40X60 feet.
The old building was made of red
sandstone and was in process of con-
struction for four years. 1t was in
1851 that the action of the national
government in creating the territory
of Utah became known here, five
months after that action was taken,
and work on the building was begun
at once. During the present day of
gigantic lifting machines and other
mechanical devices the work of those
early days in building the state capi-
tol can hardly be realized. But 1t
took four years of continued labor to
lay block on block of sandstone until
the building was comprehensive

END OF \ WILD ROMANCE.

Fiction of the heroic age never told
such an amazing story as has been
enacted in real life in the Montana
copper mining industry within the
past 20 years.
The close of the deal by which
Heinze sells out to the Amalgamated
Copper company, drops the curtain
on the most remarkable drama ever
enacted in the northwest.
Not only was the financial world
involved in its meshes, but political
fortunes have been made and unmade
with lightning-like swiftness and un-
sparing cruelty, by this magic octopus
of Montana.
Cities have been held in the hollow
of its hand, industries have thrived or
dwindled as it smiled or frowned
upon them, parties have been its tools
and slaves, society has fawned in its
glitter, men and women have been
elevated and then suddenly swept
away, as their allegiance to the cop
per factions waxed or waned.
This war of millions has proceeded
for nearly a quarter of century
Montana politics have been gauged
by the fortunes of the copper kings

SCOTCH THRIFT.

An old Scotch farmer has three
sons. The two oldest were very bright
business men. The third boy was
feeble minded, who spent most of his
time caring for his pet sheep, which
his father had given him.
When the old man died his will
read, THAT the sheep were to be di-
vided into three herds, of equal num-
bers and the feeble minded boy was
to have the first choice of the herds"
The two avaricious brothers culled
out the poor sheep and put them in
one herd, but put them with the
boys pet sheep. Then they said to
their brother, I'VE have divided the
sheep as the will of our father has
directed, and now you are to have
the first choice" and called his at
tention to how very fine his pet sheep
looked that morning.
The boy went to the pet sheep. ca
ressed and fondled it, and said, "You
are my favorite, but you have got In
with such a scrawley set I shall have
to let you go and take one Of the
other herds. s."-Munseys.

LET US HAVE PAVING.

II there is any possible way by
which the city of Pendleton can Sc
cure street paving, let us find it and
put it into immediate execution.
There will never be a better time
than now to begin this work. The
property owners are in favor of it. the
progress of the city demands it. the
business of the city justifies it and
public pride cries out in thunder tones
for the consummation of this under
taking.
If the city charter, built up as it
seems to be, for the landlord, prohib-
its street paving, let the public-spirit-
ed owners of property go ahead on
their personal responsibility and i'm
prove their property and let the char
ter be made right at the earliest op-
POI tuhily.
Another winter should not find
Pendleton at the mercy of the mud
and slush. Let us stand up and be
counted. The city council is said to
be heartily in favor of the paving If a
means can be found under the charter
by which the paving may be done.
The paving companies will do the
work There need be no fear of fl
nancing the thing. The only thing
needed is a guarantee from property
holders that they are willing to pro-
ceed.

ROOM FOR WHITE MEN.

1t is announced that the o. r. &
y. will replace the japanese and Chi
nese section men with white men as
rapidly as laborers can be found for
the places.
The East Oregonian rejoices to see
the company taking this step. There
should be room in the northwest for
every white man who comes here.
There should be permanent, lucrative
positions for thousands of worthy
families on the railroads Of the north
west. At present these places are
filled with foreigners who carry their
money out of the country, who use
lust as little as possible of American
products and who add nothing to the
community.
In the east are hundreds of thous-
ands of white men on railroad track
work, who remain in one place for
lifetime. They build comfortable
homes, spend their money in the COM
munity, educate their families and
are permanent fixtures.
In the west this work is done by
Japs. Greeks and Chinese who are not
desirable additions, who bring moth
ing into the community, add nothing
to 1t and take all their accumulation'

ECCENTRIC DON CARLOS.

Kings have curious habits. Don
Carlos has mania for never wanting
to drink twice from the same glass.
Just as soon as his lips have touched
a glass filled with any liquid, even IL
he has only taken few drops Of it,
he no longer touches that glass; an
other must be given to him.
While in the palace of the French
minister of the interior on the Quay
dOrsay, those who were walters
specially chosen to serve the king,
were constantly on the qui vive to
take away glass out of which the
king had drunk, and to replace 1t with
another.

THREE THIEVES.

Three thieves, resistless, lie in wait
For every human soul,
To filch its treasures, one by one,
Till they have seized the whole.
Love is the first to hold US up;
He plumbers, for his part
Our peace and happiness of mind,
And steals away our heart.
Time plucks the roses from our
cheeks;
Before we are aware;
The vigor from our youthful limbs.
The gold from out our hair.
And when, by Love and Time, our
lives
Are nearly dispossesscd,
Grim Death, the final thief, steps In
And takes away the rest.

The above native roots also have the

OF the diseases named above but also for
Indigestion, torpor of liver, or bilious

In Persia there is the strange custom
known as "bast." 1t simply means that
any one having n grievance by taking
refuge on the premises of nobleman
may demand that the nobleman take
up his cause as though the bastee were
one of his own household.
There seems to be no limit to the Gus
tom, for the petty criminal often takes
refuge, or bast, In n mosque, where he
Is safe, II his friends are allowed to
feed him. If the police want him they
must starve him out.
There was a man who sat for eight
years I'm one of the legations here pa
tlently awaiting settlement of n
small claim that he had against the
Persian government. Ministers came
and went, but he stayed on. At last
his claim was paid, and he died cele-
bratlng his victory!
Few legations would have the cour-
age to put man out, as II would bring
down no small amount of opprobrium
upon them.
The other day every shop In the
great bazaar In Teheran closed, and be-
tween 5000 and 6000 men merchants,
artisans and some priests-went into
the English legation and informed the
acting minister that they We're there

ment took up their case with the Per
sian government.

but at best great damage must be done

have gone TO the, Russian legation, but

Judaism is the oldest existing re-
ligion. Brahmanism is second, Bud
dhism third and Mohammedanism
fourth Buddha was born in the sixth
century B. c., at Kapilavastu, in In
dia, near the Himalayas. He was
named Sidchartha and Gautama and
was the son of wealthy Sakya chief
tain, called king in modern poetry.
Buddha lived to be very old. Brahma
is the all pervading soul of the uni
verse, the creator Of the universe, his
brother gods being Vishnu and silva.
Mohammed was born at Mecca, in
Arabia, in $40 A. D., and died in Me-
dina, Arabia, June 8, 632. No one can
say when the worship of God began.
It is probable that the very earliest
man worshipcd some unknown power,
who was his God. The religion Of the
Chaldeans antedated the Jewish re-
llgion. Noah worshiped God; so did
Abraham. Judaism did not begin un-
til late in Abraham's life.

A new insulating material has re-
Gently been invented by Portuguese

inhammable and may be generally
adopted for partitions and Innings Of
