PASSES CANCELLED.
Thirty Thousand Land Agents Mus

Thirty thousand railroad passes
were cancelled today by telegraph by

bringing settlers into the great un-

roads, says an Omaha dispatch.
Garritt Fort, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Union Pacific, has
returned from Washington. where he
had taken the matter of railroad
passes for land agents up with the in
terstntc commerce commission and
was told that passes could not be le-

Thousands of real estate agents who
were partly engaged in bringing set
Tiers from the east, but who are not
Sc engaged for any one railroad. or
for all their time, are affected by the

These passes have been issued for
years" said Mr.. Fort, and the rapid
colonization of the west Is due to
these land agents more than to all
other causes together. The railroads
furnished the land agents free trans
portation, but that is now cut off and
these men will probably go out of
business. The west will be the suf-
ferer."

COOPERATION IN ENGLAND.
Socialism Among the Common Peopl,
Is Highly Profitable.

The recently issued report of the
3Sth Annual Congress Of the Co.
operative Union of Great Britain,
shows the present membership of the
cooperative societies, so far as re-
turns have been given to the con-
gress, to be 2,259.479, an increase of
over $4,000 in membership since the
report of the prece ding year.
The sales for the past year amount
ed to f94,195,514, or considerably
over s450,00O,000. The profits
amounted to f10,45S,163, or over
s52 100000. This enormous sum
that for the most part gives back to
the co-operators, under the old re-
gime would have gone to middlemen
or to pay for the waste of competitive
warfare: and under conditions such as
prevail in America 1t would go to
further enrich trust magnates and
monopolists.
The co-operators of Great Britain
are giving the world one of the most
inspiring and important lessons for
the incoming generation-a lesson in
which practical wisdom is as clearly
evinced as is the spirit of fraternity
or brotherhood.
Cooperation replaces the old re-
gime of competitive war and waste on
the one hand, and the union of the
few for the exploitation of the many
on the other, by union of the wealth
creators and consumers for the mu-
tual benefit OF all.-The Arena.

MISSOURI QUAIL IN IDAHO.
Introduced In 1871 by ii. @. Riggs,
Now of Emmett.

How many of our readers who en-
joy quail hunting. know that an EN-
nett man introduced the Bob White
quail into Idaho2 And how many
know that it was done from purely
philanthropic motives at a cOnsidera-
BILE outlay of money? says the Emmett
Index.
To that grand old man, Henry c.
Riggs, now passing the evening of his
life with his children in this city, the
people of Idaho are indebted for that
valuable bird, the quail.
On December 20, 1870, the first
shipment was made from Independ-
ence, Nc, and consisted of two. crates
each containing 3S birds. They were
consigned to Mr.. Riggs, who then lived
in Boise. At that time the terminus
of the Union Pacific was kelton, Utah
and express matter was carried by
stage. Owing to the severity of the
weather and their exposure and long
confinement, many of the quails died
in transit.
The consignment did not reach Kel-
ton until January 80, and it was nearly
spring before 1t reached Roise. The
birds were distributed in different
sections of the state. Three dozen
were given their freedom on Dry
creek. another dozen at the mouth OF
the Payette, a number along the
Boise river, and the balance at more
remote points of the state.
Other shipments were made at later
dates from Missouri, and as an experi-
ment a dozen of what are known as
the Valley quail were shipped in from
California. These, however, were too
tame and soon fell prey to cats and
wild animals and none survived. The
Missouri quail took kindly to sIdaho
and multiplied rapidly, and today the
descendants of those quails secured BY
Mr.. Riggs number probably over a
million and may be found scattered
throughout this and neighborins
states.
The original receipts given by the
U. $. Express company for the trans
portation charges of the birds are still
in the possession of Mr.. Riggs. The
express charges from Omaha to Ke,.
ton were SS3.25 for four coops and the
tot9l expense from Independence, Mo.
to RoisH was over s1a0.

DROPPED DEAD AT MILTON.
Christ Helberg. Aged German, Sue.
sumbed TO Heart Disease.

Milton, Dec. -(Special.)- Christ
Helberg, a German bachelor aged SO
years, was found dead in his barnyard
at his residence in the edge of town
at o'clock this morning. Death
had evidently been caused by heart
failure. He suffered an attack of this
disease a year ago, but had been in
seemingly good health since then.
Helberg. owned a fruit farm of
about 10 acres in the outskirts of the
city, and lived alone there. He had
resided here about eight years, and
was very well known in this vicinity.
He leaves no relatives here and little
is known of his people.

IlliteracY I'm Canada

a Toronto dispatch states that DR..
Goodwin Kingston in a report to the
bureau of mines in ontario. Canada.
says: 1t is my duty to direct attention
again to the alarming amount of il
literacy in some of our settled districts.
This is shown by the fact that at some
mines fully half of the men can not
sign the payroll. These are mostly
too, natives of the district in which
they work. If these illiterate men were
all midde-aged 1t might be hoped that
they were a product of conditions
from which the province has emerged
but many of them are young, some in
deed, mere lads.

The last legislature had an extra
ordinary amount of printing In the
increased number of bills introduced
and otherwise, and during the past
two years an increased amount of
printing has been required by new
laws, as the direct primary election,
which necessitates a double set of
blanks and double the work of a reg
ular election, and there is the great
increase necessitated by the initiative
and referendum, which was more than
double at the last election.

"Out I'm Idaho" Tomorrow.

A rare treat will be given on Thurs
day night at the Frazer theater, when
the beautiful melodramatic comedy
drama, "Out in Idaho" will be pre-
sented. "Out in Idaho" is a play that
ranks above the average. 1t contains
the quintessence of the best portions
of those stories that made Bret Harte
so famous. 1t combines rich and
sparkling comedy with pathos of the
highest order In such way that
pleases the most fastidious. "Out In
Idaho" is a play true to western life
of those days that Bret Harte knew Sc
well. Don't forget the date.

PUT PRINTING PLANT ON BUSINESS BASIS

The East Oregonian has just receiv-
ed a communication from Capital
Typographical Union No. 21O, of Sa-
lem. which contains the proposed bills
whose objects are ''to place the state
printing office upon a practical busi-
ness basis, under the control of a
state printing commission, composed
of responsible state officers; to put
the state printer on a stated salary,
and to insure for the state the least
possible expense in the conduct of the
office: also to provide for the erec-
ton of a separate building for the
state printing plant and ultimately for
the heating plant needed for the cap
itol building"
The latter provision is intended to
relieve the capitol from the danger
attendant uron the existence of the
heating plant therein, and the jarring
of the printing machinery; also to
make room within the building for
the offices and committee rooms
needed for administrative and legis-
lative work.
Object of Measure.
A member of the committe who
framed and prepared the bills, in dis
cussng the subject, said:
"These measures were prepared as
basis upon which the plan for a
state-owned printing plant can be
worked out. The circular letter ac-
companying them distinctly states this
fact. They were prepared because
we believe the best interests of the
state will be subserved by state own
ership, and the work can be done at
a great saving to the taxpayers under
this plan. That all Of the state print.
Ing can be done at less figure than
1t has heretofore cost.
"The figures mentioned in the pro-
posed bill were based upon the fig.
ures obtained from the secretary OF
state, and 1t should be remembered
that the bill does not take effect, SO
far as the appropriation is concern
ed, until 1903 and 1910, and for the
purpose of the bill they are only ten
tative. merely an estimate which il
was expected the legislature will
change"
Biennial Appropriation.
One of the proposed bills calls fol
biennial appropriation of s101, 900
OF as much as may be necessary. Thi,
amount by some is considered toe
laige, but the supporters of the hi
claim that the proposed appropria,
tion. in comparison with past appro
rrations. together with the increased
amount of printing made necessar!
by newly created commissions, is ap
proximately correct.
While the appropriation of the las
legislature was, in round numbers
| $4,000, there is deficit Of S24 900
making the total cost of state print
ing $4,000 But this sum does no
| include what is to be paid out FOL
printing by the departments having
expense accounts. as the university
normal schools, asylum and others
which has been variously estimated
from $4,000 to $4,000.
