STILL BRING TRACK STEEL.
The Central Railroad Continues the
Work.

Rails are steadily coming in on al
most every train on the Central road
and large amount have been accumu-
lated in the yards in this city.
AS to whether or not rails will be
laid out of the city this year, there is
nothing new at this time.
1t seems probable now that the sink
hole that has been giving trouble and
has delayed the work of tracklaying,
is about filled in which event it is prob
able that ten miles will be laid this fall.

ABOUT A COUNTY FAIR
What Should Be Done in the Matter
and When is the
Question.

At meeting of the Rusk county
Grassland association last fall, the
matter of securing county fair ground
and the earliest practical establish
ment of a county fair was discussed.
Everyone present was in favor of the
earliest consistent action in the mat
ter.
A committee was appointed to look
into the matter of securing grounds
and organizing county fair associa-
tion.
Mr.. Ellingson, president of the
Grassland association, was in the city
Monday sand gwas desirous to know
when to call meeting to receive the
committees report.
What headway the committee has
made the News is not advised, but if
the work assigned is not already ac-
complished we suggest early action.
With the report of this committee
the organizing of the county fair as
sociation can commence and something
tangible result.
The concensus of opinion appears to
be that the grounds should be secured
and improved as rapidly as possible,
which will probably take two or three
yeays and that in the meantime street
fairs may be held. to good advantage.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Matters Progressing Nicely and Pat
ronage Proves Policy.

The opening of the free city library
has already shown that it was nee
essity. The News has always believed
that good reading is as important as
good meals and that the manner OF
reading is of as much consequence as
the manner of mastication of food. 1t
is not ready to alter the opinion. This
paper has been persistent during its
entire career in urging the establish
ment of the library and is therefore
specially pleased to know that it has
that first great element OF support,
public interest and patronage.
While the liprary is yet in its infancy,
it will grow and some day present
giant proportions. In the meantime
it will do lot of good.

THE PRESIDENTS INCOME.

A correspondent asks: "Is the
president able to save anything out
of the mere $4,000 year salary he
receives?" says the San Francisco
Argonaut.
Many people believe that the $780,
600 a year which the president gets
as salary is the sum total of his Off
cial income. 1t d a mistake.
This is how he is paid: Thirty-siX
thousand and sixty-four dollars is
given him in addition to his salary of
$4,000, to pay the salaries of his
subordinates and clerks. His private
secretary is paid $3.50. his assistant
private secretary $2250. his stenog-
rapher $500, five messengers (each)
$1,000, a steward $500. two door
keepers (each) $500, four other
clerks at good salaries. ranging from
$500 to $2500; one telegraph opera
tor. two ushers. $1,000 and $l4O0, a
night usher $1,000, a watchman $500
and a man who takes care of the fires
receives 1864 a year.
In addition to this there is given
him $4,000 for incidental expenses
such as stationery. carpets and the
care of the presidential stables. And
under another heading there is given
him near 100000 more. OF this
S12,5OO is for repairs and reSurnishing

ROOSEVELT NOT DISARNIED.

When the plutocFatic opponents of
the presidents railroad rate bill Sc
fected Senator Tiluman the fiery
southerner. to be spokesman for the
bill in the senate, they thought they
would disarm the president and make
his bill the laughing stock OF the sem
ate by reason of Tillman's defense.
To their surprise the president
cheerfully accepted Senator Tillman
in the best possible spirit and imme-
diately co-operated with him to make
a strong presentation of the subject
in the senate.
And Senator Tillman, equally as
manly and gracious as the president,
accepted the task with good grace
and honestly armed himself for the
fray.
This mutual felicity on part of the
president and Senator Tillman dis
comfited the enemies of the bill, who
saw that with both Tillman and
Roosevelt working honestly and ener-
getically together for it, its defense
in the senate would be formidable
indeed.
So instead of disarming the presi
dent by appointing Tillman, the plu
tocrats added to his strength and CAV,

USELESS WASTE OF LIFE.

The reoprts of the state health
board of Oregon show that about 500
people die of consumption or tuber-
culosis, annually. in the state.
This death rate will increase as
population increases and more and
more afflicted persons come into the
state. 1t is an alarming prospect-a
menace that is not to be lightly con-
sidered.
Think Of the exposed circle of
friends and relatives surrounding
each of these 500 people who sue
cumb to the great white plague each
year in Oregon!
The possibilities for peril are alarm
ing.

TWO SIDES" TO PAVING ISSUE

OF course there are "two sides" to
the paving issue. but only two MEM
bers of the city council are on the op-
position side and all the other mem
bers and practically every property
owner interested are on the "go-
ahead" side.
1t is case of very small minority
blocking a matter which very large
majority desires heartily. But the
East Oregonian is willing to listen to
the arguments of the opposition and
to concede whatever justice it may
find in those arguments.
1t is urged by the opposition that
it would be unfair to the future to en-
cumber the city to the entire $4,000
limit now, in constructing paving on
a very small proportionate area of
Pendleton streets.
This has weight and is worthy of
consideration, it is true. Other streets
may more urgently need paving with
in two or three years than Main and
Court and it would seem unwise to
bar any further improvement by 60
ing to the limit of Indebtedness now,
for but portions of streets.
This is the only fair and just argu-
ment advanced yet by the opposition
to paving.
The other argument mat corner
properties should pay for the street
intersections or squares is lame and
unfair. Corner property must pay
for two fronts now, should side streets
be paved and the centers are logical
ly public property and should not be
assessed to corners. (But in order to
secure paving the East Oregonian
would be willing to pay for its share
of the square at the intersection OF
Main and Webb streets.)
1t would be just as fair to forbid
pedestrians not paying taxes on MAR
or Court streets, from walking on the
paving, as to force property owner!
on those streets to dig down and pa!
for these squares that belong to tn,
city exclusively, and which are 70
use of all, whether taxpayers or not.
The city should pay for the squares
1t is unjust to force property to bea
this double burden while the publi
would enjoy an equal benefit. /
would be just as fair to say that Sa
lem should pay all state expenses be
cause the state officials live there, a
to make this unfair demand on corne
property holders. 1t is penurious /
the extreme, in a city of Pendleton'
wealth and resources.

This degree of success in Oregon

INHERITANCE TAX
May Be Imposed Is the Opinion Of
Mr.. Perkins.

Observation-Disclosures the supreme
court should change its views there
seems no question but that the general
government may constitutionally i'm
pose an inheritance tax" was an opin-
ion laid down today in the house by
Representative Perkins of New York,
who spoke at length on the subject.
EXpediency, according to the speaker,
was the only question that should be
debated in connection with an Inherit
ance tax. He said that there was no
reason that a man having $50, 900, 900
to dispose of should assert the right to
give every dollar Of it to his children.
"If the father has the desire that his
descendants should be enormously rich
people in the community, this is a yul-
gar desire, entitled to no considera-
tion, " he said. Certainly it is no ad-
vantage to have daughters if they are
allowed to inherit a sum SO vast that it
becomes q temptation to some WORTH
less foreign nobleman to marry them"
Recent scandals connected with two
of Americas best-known rich families
gave Mr.. Perkins an opportunity to say
that 1T is no advantage to Miss Van
derbilt or Miss Gould that enormous
fortunes attracted the eager gaze Of
foreign fortune-hunters.

man, who is interested in a real estate
company in Vicksburg. The killing
occurred at Valley Park, in Warren
county, and was absolutely without
provocation, as Middagh had never
known the negro and had but short
while before lhe murder stepped of the
train at Valley Park, where he had
gone to hunt. Young and a number OF
other negroes had been discussing race
troubles. Young, drawing his pistol
said, "If I got in trouble with white
man l would do this way" and with
this remark he aimed his pistol at
Middagh and fired, Death was almost
instantaneous
