WESTERN FICTION WANTED.

Alan +. Fielder, q reader for the
New York publishing house of the
Century company. is in Portland on a
recreation trip trough the western
states, says the Oregon Daily Journal.
According to Mr.. Fielder the -litera-
ture Of the next decade, especially fic-
tion, will be dominated by western
writer's and will depict life in the
western states.
Though there have been multi
tude of novels published dealing with
different phases of western life," he
said, 81 do not believe that the west
ern country has yet found it's true in
terpreter. Writers heretofore have
localized their work. Some have
written of the Wyoming cowboy, 9TH
ers of Arizona, others of Alaska.
When they begin to generalize the
west will receive its due. There are
millions of good stories untold in Ore
gon alone. Yet TO be told well they
must be written by men and women
who know whereof they write, not by
those who have made a flying trip
through the west and imagine they
have caught the true western atmos-
phere. The work OF such writers is
generally overdrawn, as is at once
noted by the perusal of novels of
western life. There are few writer's
like Stewart Edward White. Jack
London and Rex E. Beach whose
work has great value because they
have caught the atmosphere uncon-
sciously in that it has been a part OF
their life.
I'VE have often wondered why
there were not more writer's who took
for the field the northwestern coun-
try. Here you have the charm of a
California added to the realism of a
| country foremost in commerce. IN
manufacturing and in big endeavor
There is good field in the north
west that has not been touched as
yet, and the publishers are waiting
for some one to touch it. But it must
be some one who is familiar with the
country"

LOVE IN THE LAND OF THE sLAv

II simply needs look into the
family relation. of revolutionist Cor
ky to make II certain that the Ameri-
can mind is not capable of under
standing Russian morals or the pecu-
liarities of genius, says the Memphis
News-scimitar.
This is granting that Gorky is
genius and worth. while in this coun-
try. where a foreigner is an idol one
day and forgotten the next.
While hysterical women of America
were weeping over the fact that Cor
ky was living with Mrs. Andreieff,
and hotel keepers were becoming hos
tile. what was going on in Russia?
Nothing that had anything to dc
with the Gorkys. The Novgorod sew
ing circle had passed no resolution OF
sympathy for the abandoned wife and
least of all. was the real Mrs. Gorky
disturbed.
She is Mrs. Catherine Pieshkoff'
Gorky, living at Nishni Novgorod, OF
the volga. Gorky abandoned her three
years ago, but she always called OF
him when she was in st. Petersburg
When Gorky was i'll and went to Fin
land his wife followed him, although
the actress. Mrs. Andreieff, did no
abandon him.
| Mrs. Andreieff is the wife of a IA
nous writer, who is also Gorky'i
/ friend. This did not prevent Cork!
from making love to Mrs. Andreieff
and her husband has never been op
posed to such a combination Of low
and friendship. Gorky, Andreieff anc
the latter's wife were often seen to
gether at banquets in st. Petersburg.

STATEMENT NJ. NO JOKE.

The democratic candidates for the
Legislature in Umatilla county have
signed statement No. without equiv
ocation or evasion. Every one of them
has pledged himself to vote for the
peoples choice for United States SEN
ator at the coming session Of the leg
islature. regardless of personal pref
erences.
II Jonathan Bourne is elected by
the people every democrat elected to
the legislature from Umatilla county
will vote for him for the United
States senate.
The pledge taken by the democrats
has no string to it. They did not sign
it with the understanding that it
meant the vote at the primary cleo
tion, nor that it meant the candidate
having the highest democratic vote
for senator. but without reserve and
without mincing their words, every
democratic candidate signed the
pledge and will live up to its provis-
ions
With the exception of c. A. Barrett,
the republican candidates have failed
to grant the people the privilege of
selecting the United States senator.
The other candidates Of this party
reserve the right to deadlock the leg
islature and throw the state into the
perennial confusion and disorder If
the peoples choice" does not happen
to suit them.
This is the one overshadowing issue
in this campaign. 1t means that either
the people are supreme or the politi-
cal party is supreme. 1t means that
popular government shall triumph or
that boss rule shall continue to pros
titute the state of Oregon. despite her
past experiences.

END OF THE LOCOMOTIVE.

Everett in the Railway Journal. Its
driving wheels are of the maximum

longer than $50 miles with a train,
and it must eventually take a back
seat for the electric-gasoline power.
The latter Is practically unlimited In

1t may not be many years before
heavy trains are pulled by these en-

MENACE OF THE SALOON.

San Francisco has given the world
an object lesson in the danger of the
saloon in society.
While the city is in ruins and every
thing in chaos, the saloon is the only
branch Of business which has been alb
solutely forbidden by the authorities
to open. Every other line Of trade
has been allowed to open its doors
and resume its business, Dut the sa-
loon being a menace to society is for
hidden to spread its disorder on the
already disorganized situation.
1t is strange to think that civilized
government will tolerate a business
which must be suppressed whenever
there is the slightest disorder. Why
are butcher shops. clothing stores,
bakeries and harness hops allowed
to open for business Oh the ruins OF
their old establishments, while the
saloon is forbidden to resume?
Is this not sufficient argument fol
any sensible man. that the country Is
cowardly to license such an institu'
ton? II the saloon Is a dangerou'
thing in san Francisco under presen
conditions, is It not also menace t.
San Francisco in peaceful and orderl!
times?
The saloon costs more in crimina
expenses than it returns in licenses.

SAN FRANCISCO-s FATE.

With the wreck of her shattered
glory,
Desolate. dire. complete;
With her landmarks grim and hoary
Strewn at her bleeding feet;
With the golden fruits of doing
Undone in a single day;
With the madden'd fates pursuing
The butt of their ghastly play
With misery dark and fearful
Borne upon every breeze;
With her children wan and fearful
Clingine around her knees.
While famine leers at the portal
And misery stalks within.
She turns with a will immortal
Her renaissance to begin.
Here's strength to the newborn city
Here's hope to the valiant throng
The worlds great throb of pity
Is turned to applauding song.
! On! on May thy dauntless spirit
Survive the ills of fate'
May a grander San Francisco
Rise Queen of the Golden Gate.
