Some one entered the Hotel
Navajo Tuesday morning and
robbed the cash register OF
about seven dollars in silver
and took a handful of cigars; It
least that is all that has been
found missing SO far Their en-
trance was made by taking off
hinge on the cellar door, just
back of the hotel, and after en-
tering there they pried up the
door of the cellar which opens
up inside of the billiard room
After that they pried the lock
of the door leading to the bar
room open and then tapped the
register and made their escape,
which they evidently done in a
hurry as they left all the doors
open as they passed out Mr..
Hesser has no idea Of who the
thieves are, but they evidently
understood the house, and knew
lust where to enter the most
conveniently.

THE CoNQUERING SPIRIT.

1t well befits a people who dwell In
Freedoms land,
To celebrate the victory of the sturdy
patriot banl
Who won for them their birthright:
that boon they now enjoy;
OF breathing Freedoms air through
life;
A right none can destroy.
1t keeps alive the spirit that filled
each patriot breast
At Concord and at Lexington. and
which cared naught for rest
Until the British Red-Coats were
driven to the sea,
And right and justice triumphed;
And all the land was free.
This was the glorious spirit that an
swered once again
In the troub'lous times of sixty-three,
when Lincoln asked for men
To uphold the starry banner and keep
it free from stain.
Aye: and the selfsame spirit
That avenged the sunken Maine,
So let us still remember. though Peace
is perched on high,
The love we bear the old flag. Don't
let the spirit die,
But join in the naise and hub-bub, in
the racket and the fuss
And lay aside all common cares
And celebrate with us.

EFFECT OF RURAL DELIVERY.

In Iowa the great contest over the
nomination for governor has brought
out the fact that, through rural free
delivery, practically every farmer in
the state gets paper delivered at his
door. Those people are great readers
and they take to politics by instinct
and training. Great numbers of them
take dailies and one or more weeklies.
Thus they keep posted on the daily de-
velopments of the contest, and are
ready to vote intelligently when they
so to their primaries or to the polls.
This encourages the newspaper bus
mess; it prompts the country editor to
do his best, and brings more men of
that the weekly newspapers of that
state are better edited than those of
any other in the union, and they are
exercising a powerful influence.
In 1900 there were 11O4 publications
1t is estimated the number has since
increased 20 per cent. That would
indicate the state now has more than
1900 papers.
The net result is that the newspa-
pers are the backbone Of the present
contest, and the fact is recognized by
both sides. 1t is known that nothing
can be done that the people in all
parts of the state will not understand,
also that the public will pass judg-
sment on every move with unerring ac-
curacy. \ great many of the papers
are taking no sides, but most of them
are for one or the other faction.
In many instances they are rabid
in their utterances but on the whole,
the attitude of the press of the state
is said to be conservative and fair,
and the people are being given the
facts and the arguments IN manner
that enables them to make up their
minds intelligently.
The conditions reported are a trib-
ute To the man who established rural
free delivery. With far-seeing wisdom
he realized that the farmer with the
newspaper delivered daily at the en-
trance of his lane, would become far
better posted on current affairs and
thus become far better qualified to
take part at the polls and everywhere
else.

THE TRANSPORTATION ISSUE.

The Topeka State Journal, of Tope-
ka, Kas., gets at the root of the rail-
road freight issue in the following able
manner:
There has been more or less said in
these columns during the past six
months about the desirability of doing
away with the free pass, and of giving
the public the benefit of the saving
thus effected by the railroads, says
the Journal. The State Journal does
not wish to detract from those re-
marks, but it would emphasize what
it has already called attention to
briefly, that passes and passenger
fares are really minor matter COM
pared with freight rates.
The difference is that the average
man does not pay freight direct. on
ly the merchant, the manufacturer,
and the few farmers who ship their
own stock or grain come directly into
contact win the 1felBnt Tdte pueStloii'
But the professional man, the me-
| chanic and laborer, and the great ma
jority of farmers pay the freight just
the same, although they may not
know what it is.
For instance, every one of them
buys coal and he pays the freight in
the price he pays his coal dealer
The farmer sells his wheat to local
grain shipper, and the grain man de-
ducts the freight from his own COM
mission and profit from the Kansas
City price to ascertain wnat he viii
pay the farmer. Nearly everything
that enters into daily life has trans
portation charge attached to it some
where. Everybody has to pay the
freight.
on the other hand, passenger rates
don't mean any great sum except to
few individuals. Most people do no

RUMOR OF ANOTHER CANAL.

Considerable sensation has been
caused by report from Colombia,
published in La Somana. Spnaish
weekly. which states that the Bogota
government has in contemplation a
project for an inter-oceanic sea-level
canal through Darien, modification
of the original plan of the Atrato-
Truando route. According to the pri-
vate advices which bring this inform
alton. Colombia has been assured Of
the cooperation of various sister re-
pubics of Latin America.
The plans for the canal do not pre-
sent any new engineering problem.
More than half of the total cost,
which, it is estimated. will be about
$40, 900, 600 would be for labor. The
labcrers will be soldiers of the COlom-
bian army and contingents of soldiers
form the other republics interested in
the project, each country to pay its
own men as if they We're in actual
service. This cooperation is to be
paid for by shares of the stock of the
canal and by certain franchises,
1t is said that, as the canal would
be an inter-American undertaking,
and as 1t is wished to take precau-
tions against any possible interference
in its neutrality or the territorial in
tegrity of Colombia, the project will
be submitted to the Pan-American
congress at Rio de Janeiro under the
section of the program referring to
improvements of traffic facilities.
The canal. 1t is believed, could be fin
shed by 1912, and President Reyes
has hopes that the necessary capital
will te available in Europe.
The depth of the Atrato and Tru-
ando rivers along the parts that would
be used is from 35 to 40 feet. There
would be q miles of excavation and
tunnel 2A miles long. Diego Men
doza. Colombian minister to the
United States, who is at present stay
ing in this city, was asked about this
report, but stated he had no official
knowledge of it. Nevertheless the
rumor Is finding many believers in
political and financial circles of Wash
| ington.

That is unique asset which cannot
be counterfcited.
Right now, while the subject is
fresh, the city council, the women's
clubs and the Commercial association,
should resolve to found city park,
large enough and beautiful, to be a
perpetual pride to the city. And a
swimming pool could be maintained
in connection with such park with
little extra expense.
Pendletou must have some such
public utilities if she expects to offer
attraction to strangers, investors and
homeseekers. Now is good time to
make a high resolve for a park.

NOW FOR BUSINESS.

The Fourth of July is past and
everybody is glad of it.
It was the hottest Fourth. from a
climatic standpoint, exer enjoyed in
Pendleton, and from the standpoint of
a celebration the temperature was
equally high.
The committees in charge Of the
various features deserve the highest
possible praise for the manner in
which everything was carried out.
The results showed that excellent
work had been done by all. Cooper
alton counts. Unity of action is the
keynote of all success in such mat
ters.
There are several remarkable things
to mention in connection with the Gel
ebration in this city. In the first
place the percentage of drunken men
in Pendleton was smaller than ever
before noticed in a Fourth of July
celebration. The Fourth arways brings
out the patriotic sentiment and this is
given expression in drinking and ca
rousing in too many instances.
But yesterday was art exception.
The saloons did a smaller business
than ever before on a Fourth of July
celebration in this city. Consequent
" Pendleton feels that higher moral
tone has been maintained on one oc-
casion. at least in which it is expect
ed that many excellent citizens will
lapse from the rigid rectitude of the
code.
There were also less accidents yes
terday than usually occur in large
celebrations. Scarcely a celebration
passes in a city of Pendleton's size,
that does not record death or seri-
Gus accident. Fortunately this record
was not made here yesterday II
speaks well for the regulation Of the
police force and the intelligence ot
the community.
But one thing was lacking. Pen
dleton needs a grove. a city park, il
which to greet her friends on such oc
casions. This is a serious and embar
raising disadvantage. People enjoyed
themselves yesterday IN most pleas
ant manner under the circumstances
and the East Oregonian feels and be
lieves that the visitors were univer
sally pleased with the celebration
But the lack Of a cool, shady park
where families might enjoy the da
more fully. was noticed by all.
The court house grounds served tn
purpose very we'll and the seats an
rest rooms afforded ample opportu
nifty for all to enjoy the various feat
ures OF the celebration, but nothin
can be substituted for city rarl

NEW YORK LETTER

New York. June 2S.-Friends of
Mr.. Hearst assert that he has control
of the democratic state committee.
They say that Belmont has lost con-
troll of it, having only about 20 of the
90 members, while Hearst has 80. 1t
is claimed that all of these will vote
for the suppression of Belmont ON
any question of organization that
comes up. n most significant fact i'm
this connection, as showing the
strength of Hearst i'm the rural coun-
ties, is that neither the Tammany nor
the Kings county members of the
committee are counted In this esti-
mate of the Hearst majority. Hearst
men assert that all but four of the
upstate senate districts will send
committeeman to the meeting who
will not antagonize Hearst or consent
to any action prejudicial to his chances
for the democratic nomination.

If the passenger rate We're reduced to
two cents II mile. although there
would doubtless be much more travel
We're the rate reduced.
Therefore it is the freight rate that
really counts and that most needs, reg
ulating. There is danger of over-agi-
tating the pass and passenger rate
propositions and losing sight of the
main issue, They should be treated
fairly and justly by the next legisla-
ture but the people should not lose
sight of the freight rate problem,
which is much more important.

POETS ARE ECCENTRIC.

The poet at large in the community
Is worse than a lion in the street,
said Professor Macnefle Dixon. pro-
fessor of English language and liter
ature at Glasgow university. in the
course of lecture delivered at the
Royal institution.
"He disregards convention and over
leaps custom; he derides respectability
and despises the law.
Milton appears to nave a leaning
toward polygamy. Burns, Byron and
Shelley were reckless of social order.
For these things society is not yet
prepared; perhaps 1t may never be
prepared, and it is therefore. perhaps,
justified in declining to accept the
poet as a Iaw-giver."
