The cars are equipped with power

the intense rays appear, at night,
rabbits make for the light. AS the
rays strike them, they perform all
sorts of gyrations, and when hit in
the eyes are completely hypnotized.

WHY LUMBER Is HIGH.

The greed of the Pacific coast saw
mill trust has become proverbial in
the United States, and nothing has
come to light to make this insatiate
greed more apparent than a statement
of the profits of Hood River millmen
during the past season.
In speaking OF the enlargement and
Improvement of one of the large saw
mills at that place, correspondent
says that during last seasons run the
Smith-Stanley Lumber company made
profits on their lumber output suf-
ficient to pay for their entire plant
costing almost half a million dol
lars.
Lumber which cost them but s5.25
per 1000 feet, loaded upon the cars
at their mill, was sold to the whole
sale trade at s16.25 per 1000, making
the mill company over 200 per cent
profits above the cost of production.
The wholesale merchant necessarily
added the cost of transportation and
raised the price for his own profit,
and by the time the lumber reaches
the consumer its cost is almost pro-
hibitive.

APPRECIATES FULTON.

The Salem Journal says;
1t could not have escaped the OBJ
servation IF Ex-Governor Geer that
Senator Chas. w. Fulton has de-
veloped into some pumpkins in the
national congress.
He had the nerve and ability to
take a fall out of the darling Of the
eastern politicians, Senator Beyer-
idge, and refrained not to puncture
the armor of the redoubtable Secre-
tary Hitchcock full Of holes. He was
even able to knock the tar out of
Senator Aldrich's Standard Oil
amendment to the denatured alcohol
bill in the interest of the farmers.
Now as the ardent champion of
the farmers the tall ex-governor
should not have overlooked this per-
formance Of the senior senator. To
say nothing Of the matter that Sem
ator Fulton, almost unaided and
alone on the delegation the past six
months has been able, with the feeble
cooperation of Congressman Hermann
who Geer says is white chip, to pull
out nearly four million dollars for the
rivers and harbors of Oregon, his
name should be omitted from "a
complete delegation"
We merely make this suggestion in
the interest of harmony and in or
der that Senator Fulton and his
friends may not feel aggrieved at be-
ing overlooked in a count of the in
fluentia Oregon political assets.

ANGLICAN CHURCH LOSING.

History abounds In dramatic cli-
makes and revcrsals Of fortune, and
Just now 1t seems likely that the next
illustration of this fact will he fur
nished by the established church OF
England.
A few years ego the fortunes of
that body were at their height It's
leaders had taken advantage of the
Tory parliament elected on the Boer
war issue to secure a law which gave
the Anglican church practical mo-
nopoly of the instruction of English
youth.
They used their strength as privil-
eyed parties always use 1t. and the
reaction against clericalism was the
main cause of the reaction which
swept the Liberals into power That
reaction is more than likely to re-
suit in the disestablishment of the
English church. The house of COM
mons voted for this the other day,
and though they knew the lords
would head them off 1t Is quite on
the cards that lords and state
churches will go out together. The
world moves.-Denver News.

4 "REPRESENTATIvE" MAN.

The Washington tax commission
prepared an insurance tax bill for en-
actment by the present session of the
legislature. By the provisions of the
bill per cent tax was placed upon
the gross premiums OF life insurance
companies. The tax was not consid-
cred unfair and by its operation the
state would have enjoyed an income
of about $4,000 annually from the
old line life insurance companies oper-
ating in the state.
BY working a smooth scheme in
the passage of the bill, Senator King.
an insurance agent in the senate from
Seattle. slipped in an amendment to
the bill by which the $4,000 income
was entirely cut off.
King is a typical Representative"
of the people. He was sent to the
legislature to work in the interest of
his state. He turns traitor and works
in the interest of the big corporations
which own his services.
This is but one insignificant in
stance. Oregon and Washington have
been especially cursed with this sort

ARKANSAS "RAzOR BACKS"

An esteemed Texas contemporary is
responsible for the following story:
Arkansas has a greater variety OF
hogs and less pork than any state in
the Union. An average hog In Arkan-
sas weighs about ID pounds dresse d
with It's head on and about six pounds
and half with its head off. It can
out run grey hound, jump a rail
fence, climb like n parrot and live on
grass roots and rabbit tracks. It
hasn't much tail or bristle, but plenty
of gall. 1t will lick wolf or n bear
In fair fight. 1t is called razorback
because 1t is shaped like sun-fish.
In hunting n razorback 1t is always
shot at sideways, for there is not the
ghost of show to hit It otherwise, any
more than to shoot at split shigle.
1t can drink milk out of quart
Jar on account of Its long, thin head.
This type of razorback Is known as
the stone hog because It's head Is so
heavy and its nose As so long that It
balances up behind. The owner Of
this type OF hogs usually ties a stone
to Its tail to keep It from overbalanc-
Ing and breaking its neck while run
ming. If the stone is too heavy, 1t will
pull the skin over its eyes, and 1t will
go blind.

THE Dogs UNIQUE DEATH.

Champ Clark relates the experience
OF western politician who was max
ing house-to-house canvass some
years ago.
This politician, says Harper'a
Weekly, had come to a prosperous
looking house at crossroad, when
he observed a coInely young woman
standing at the gate. Pulling up his
horse, the candidate for the people, .
favor gracefully lifted his hat in sa-
lutte to the young woman and po-
litely asked:
"No doubt, madam, your estimable
husband is at home?"
yes" responded the woman.
"Might I have the pleasure of see
ing him." suavely inquired the poll
tician.
"IIe's Gown in the pasture a-bur-
rying the dog" came from the indi-
vldual at the gate.
"f am very sorry indeed to learn
OF the death of your dog" came In
sympathizing tone from the candi
date. "What killed him?"
"TIe wore hisself out a-barking at
candidates."

SOCIALISM Is TAME.

Whether it was by accident or pre-
meditation that the socialist rally of
last night was held at the very gate
way of that citadel of unbending,
straight-jacket republicanism in Pen
dleton, the office of the Pendleton Tri-
bune, is not yet known.
However. the anticipated riot of
revolution did not sweep away the
foundations Of the social system in
Pendleton and everything is as serene
today as though the thought of social
ism had not been suggested in the
city.
Perhaps the same instinct which
prompts the Salvation Army lassie to
plant herself in front of the most
hardened and unrepentant spot in a
city, to make her plea for reformation,
also inspired the socialists of Pendle-
ton to hold their rally last night in a
room adjoining the office of the Tri-
bune.
But it is to be earnestly hoped that
instead Of falling upon deaf and
closed ears, the pleas of the socialist
reformer may have found a beautiful
and well watered oasis in the breast of
the Tribune, where the humble seed
may take root and ripen into a spread
ing tree of reform doctrine in the far
distant future.
Seriously, socialism is not riotous
nor a revolutionary principle and If
taken with honesty and sincerity, con-
tains much that is really ideal in gov
ernment
It's foundation principles, which
teach that the utilities of the earth
belong to the people of the earth, are
superb, and consciously and uncon-
sciously, are being adopted rapidly by
society today. Oregon has accepted
from the hands Of large republican
majority with the concurrence OF a
democratic minority, large batch of
socialist doctrine, in the local option
law, the direct primary nominating
law, the initiative and referendum,
and in the popular election of United
States senators.
1t is a tame, docile, peaceful. self
sacrificing doctrine and ere the world
is aware, its chief tenets will have
been adopted by mankind.
Government ownership of the rail-
coal mines are among its demands
and those are surely coming.

WHERE Is Balm STATION, ORE. g?

II seems strange that there should
be places in the United States where
people may live a long time without
knowing what state they are in; but
such places are found to exist. One
ct these is Bain's Station--now known
to be in oregon, but for sometime
supposed t. be in California. And
ut last accounts. though it was
known that the place was in Oregon,
it was not known whether it was in
Josephine or Curry county accord
ing 20 the Denver News-Times Maga-
zine.
one spring a man was murdered
near PAINS Station, and his body
thrown in Il well. In the summer the
body was found, and a man named
Nielsen was suspected of the crime.
Nelson was arrested in California;
but before taking further proceed
ings the California authorities, who
were doubtful of their rights in the
matter. caused survey of the placa
to be made, and it was shown to
everyhoiy's satisfaction that Bain's
Station was in Oregon.
This fact was promptly telephoned
to the authorities Of Josephine coun-
ty, Oregon. who issued a warrant for
Nelson
The next step would have been for
the Oregon authorities, acting on
this warrant to send eXtradition pa
pers to the governor of California;
but an unexpected difficulty arose in
an uncertainty whether Rains Sta
tiOn was in Josephine county or Cur
ry county. No one knew which coun-
ty II was in.
The line between the two counties
is the watershed between two
streams: but as there are no streams
anywhere around Bain's Station there
can be no certainty, until a survey is
made, whether 1t Is on one side of
the watershed or the other; and a
proper survey would involve much
time and expense.
The accused man. therefore, at last
accounts lay in a California Jail, in
which state he certainly did not
commit the crime, awaiting the de-
termination Of the question as to
what county of Oregon the crime was
committed in.

CLEAN UP FOR HEALTH.

While Pendleton is cleaning up for
the sake Of personal appearance this
week, she must also clean up for
health.
Not only the surface trash which is
visible to the naked eye, but the in
visible sources, the germ incubators,
the filthy pools, bad smelling garbage
piles and everything which might
breed typhoid, should be removed and
abated.
In this work the city, county and
state health officials may offer and
have offered valuable advice and will
render more valuable assistance.
Pendleton should get rid Of every
thing which has the semblance OF be-
ing a hiding place for a typhoid
germ. While other cities are paying
the penalty Of poor water supply and
municipal uncleanliness, Pendleton
should be enjoying good health, and
I'm this way become an objective point
for homeseekers and school seekers.

We know not where our hidden way

What stress and storm the hidden
years may hold:
The midday heats and mldnights
drear and cold
May meet us on our Journey far or

Yet step by step we go, till bye and
bye
The mystic tapestries of Fate un-
fold:
Wien the weary past believing,
gray and old,
We reach the end together-thou
and 7.
ON eyes grown dim the mlsts of
blindness creep,
The pulse moves slower still, and
sorrows fade,

stand,
Yet Cod still giveth His beloved
sleep,
oh, Heart of Mine, why should we
be afraid
If only night may find us hand in
