crew in town today from Mart Pei
let's orchard at Talent reports water
now running over the surface, the
drills being down 800 feet in a granite
formation, and the water standing
something over one foot above the
surface level Of the pipes.
The well will be sunk deeper in the
hope that considerable power will be
developed later to be utilized locally.

No Shirt Creates Sensation.

PENDLETON, Or, May 12.-No
Shirt, chief of the Walla Walla tribe
of Indian, created a sensation at the
council Wednesday when he took the
floor and made a rousing speech in
favor of allowing the white men to
take their stock across the reservation
without any restrictions. This action
of No Shirt caused the more surprise
from the fact that in the past he has
always been considered opposed to ev-

Portland Man Buys Sheep.

BAKER CITY, Or, May 12.-J. M.
Yates, a sheep buyer of Portland, has
completed the purchase of 1000 head
of sheep, mostly mixed yearlings, at
an average of $2.75 per head. He
bought from the flock of Kidder, Polite
and others on BURNT river. He says
that for straight bands the price runs
about $3.50.
1t is estimated that the sales this
spring will be quite heavy and good
prices will prevail, although the I'M
known quantity of wool, which market
was affected by the San Francisco dis
aster, may have something to do with
both wool and sheep after shearing

pRosPERITY or RAILROADS.

THE great prosperity and enterprise OF the
4 American nation is we'll illustrated by the
report of the Interstate Commerce Commission
on the railroads Of the country. 1t shows that
the railroad corporations are tremendously
wealthy and arc heaping up their treasures in the
most approved fashion.
The total capitalization of the railroads in the
country has reached the enormous figures OF $I3,-
8os, ,zsS I7I, which is more than the value OF the
entire property of the country few decades ago.
The number OF passengers carried during the
year was zs8,S34667 and the tons of freight
transported I4z7,aSIoos The gross earnings
for the year were SaoS24824o5 and the divi-
dends declared $23so468o7.
This is a vast sum TO be distributed and shows
the private interests tied up in the railroad COM
panies. 1t also indicates what huge task would
be before Mr. Bryan or anyone else who should
attempt to make campaign for government
ownership Of the railroad corporations. Even
should such propaganda win the government
would be confronted with tremendous problem
Of operating. Ahese railroads.
It may be said in view Of these figures that gov
ernment ownership of railroads is unlikely to be-
come a practical problem in our day or genera
ton.
The vast wealth Of the railroad companies has,
however its darker side. During last year the
commissions figures show that an average of 20
persons were killed each day on the railroads
There was an average Of 2oS injured day dur
ing the year The greatest number of casualties
was among the employees of the railroad COM
panies During the year 1900 trainmen were
killed and 2o,Ss3 injured. These figures are
frightful Each year the number Of killed by the
railroads is nearly as great the dead at Gettys
burg and the injured far exceeds the number Of
wounded in that great conflict.
Casualties on railroads will always be heavy.
Men who work in danger become careless and
many of the accidents are due to this cause. But
vast lot Of lives could be saved if the companies
used the modern appliances to safeguard the bod
les of their employees The companies, however,
usually resist any effort to compel them to COM
ply with the law and employ the safety app-
ances.

IRRESPONSIBLE FoR HEARsT."

a 4 LAST it is out President Roosevelt is
L \ responsible Tor Hearst The teachings OF
Hearst would fall upon barren ground had not
the President ventured to discuss the question o.
wealth, its distribution and dangers. He did 50,
and Hearst follows it up and becomes peril"
The New York Times says so, and the New
York Times is the chief organ of Wall Street and
the rich corporation interests. The idea of the
New York Times and newspapers and spokes-
men of that persuasion is that wealth, business
and corporations occupy a field that is sacred. A
man who dares to speak OF these topics above
whisper is "unpatriotic" and enemy of soci-
ETY. who must be subdued.
The trouble with this sort of theory, however,
is that soon a vast majority Of the people win be
the enemies Of society and there will be no friends
of society and patriots left except the New York
Times and the group under the influence Of Wall
Street.
The President is blamed for his proposal TO
limit fortunes And yet the President was con-
servative in all that he said M
Limitation Of fortunes by taxing themfs a SUBJ
ject that has always been discussed by leading
writers on economic and sociological questions.
Their remedy has been dozen times more .dras-
tic than any suggestion ever made by President
Roosevelt.
No, it is not the President who is responsible
for Hearst. It is the law-brealing, lawrdefying
criminal trusts and combinations that have be-
trayed the condolences reposed in them, bribed
and controlled Legislatures, had laws enacted for
their special benefit and robbed the people in var
ious ways. The railroad rebate system, the
Standard Oils methods the insurance scandal
and such national evils to check or eliminate
which the President has been working SO va!ant-
ly and has already accomplished so much, are
the kind OF things responsible for Hearst. ~

PRETENDED PURITY.

4 JUDGING from the proclamation of their new
State chairman and the hamboyant articles
OF the corporation newspaper that is behind him,
our friends Of the Democratic party are trying to
make it appear that they are engaged in cam
pagn the result of which is to be the salvation Of
Delaware. To further along this campaign the
men who have been in control of the party for
some years have apparently stepped aside and let
the clique known as the Railroad Democrats take
charge Of the dilapidated Democracy.
They hope to make the voters believe that the
Democracy has suddenly assumed the role OF pur-
ity and that the Democratic voters will line up
under the new banner and attempt to win vic
tory. As a side light on this scheme attempts
will be made to land a few Republicans in Jail
through the efforts of the Anti-Bribery League
Our Democratic friends are trying to create an
issue when there is no issue. The Republican
party declared in its State convention that it was
opposed to the illegal use OF money in elections
and the Republican County Committee has made
the same declaration. Therefore there is no one
who is announcing that he favors the buying of
votes or the illegal use of money. There can be
dispute upon this point.
The movement of the Democrats is not ap-
pealing to the mass Of their voters. They are not
qualifying and there is little likelihood that they
will register They will have no faith in the pre-
tensions political virtue OF the party as at pres
ent constituted and they will challenge the SINGER
ity of that party or the leaders thereof who, but
ten years ago, were working tooth and nail
TO defeat the national standard bearer Of their

We are anxious to have every

National Congressional Committee in
favor Of the election of Republican

The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and

that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's

and his achievements a central

CIGAR BOXES HIGHER

Aside from the other little bills that
the American public viii be called upon
to settle for calming the feelings Of
the revolving Cuban patriots, it was
stated to-day that the cigar smokers
will eventually be compelled to pay
a little more for their favorite brands,
as the cessation OF practically all bus
mess in Cuba has caused a sharp rise
in the prices OF the various grades Of
cigar boxes.
The price increase ranges from 81
to 80 a hundred, and is due to the grow
ing scarcity of cedar lumber. Even
with the use Of poplar veneered with
cedar, the price has gone up steadily.
Attempts are being made to obtain ce-
dar lumber from South and Central
America. but the grade obtained is
much inferior to the Cuban article and
it costs much more in the way Of
freight bills.

there will be no disposition in the county CON

to show no sulkiness, but to prove themselves

WEST CHESTER, Oct. s.-State Com

from the town into running water. For
more than a year the effort to compel
West Chester TO create a sewer system
has been in progress.
The borough contended that its system
was a storm water system exclusively.
but that has been made of no avail by
the investigation Of a department inspec-
tor. This man went to West Chester and.
taking small cards, threw them into sew
ers in houses and found them later In
streams near the town, thus proving that
the houses were polluting streams and
thereby endangering the health OF the

NEW ORDER OF THINGS.

XAT Z WONDER what Democratic workers
w OF old Sussex are thinking Of Anyway
In previous campaigns they have been accustom-
ed to journey to Wilmington freely as election
day drew near. Some OF them had their railway
passes but even these have been cut off. Then
when they visited the hospitable home of the late
State chairman there as usually "suthin' doin'"
Now as the Sussex men, snould any of them
be fortunate enough to reach Wilmington view
in the distance Snob Hill, they will think Of the
punches of "whereases" that are likely to be hand
ed out to them should they approach too near,
Indeed, we admire the nerve and earnestness
OF the new State chairman who will have the task
of pacifying the Cow Lane Democrats, as can
ddate Wilson used to call them. A whole wagon
load Of "whereases" would not buy a man drink
even in Sussex county, and they would be ofless
value down there than an old county order was
when the Democrats had control OF the Sussex
Levy Court.
