the government seems to be almost
helpless The seamen's organization
is making clear that they have no
cause for complaint against the navi-
cation companies and that the fight is
against the government for an increase
of the pensions of the men of the naval
reserve to which nearly all the strik-
ing officers, engineers, seamen long
shorenen and even the fishermen, be-
long.
In fact in order to emphasize the ma
ture of the struggle, the strikers at
Havre and other forts are providing
the new men necessary to insure the
safe keeping of the ships. cooks and
stewards to feed the emigrants and
men to run the refrigeratng plants, in
addition to unloading all perishable
freight while as the strike thus far
only effects French shipping. foreign
vessels at French ports are being I'M
loaded by the strikers.
The situation is very FERROUS. French
sea commerce is paralyzed and unless
there is an Immediate settlement of the
dispute many Industries will be COM
PEELED to shut down and thousands o.
workmen in other trenches of trade
will be thrown into enforced idleness.
The strike today was extended to Dun
kirk, Calais. Roulogne, Bordeaux and
other ports which were not affected
yesterday and the tie up is now com
plete everywhere in France. Algeria
and Tunis.
The commercial interests are crying
out against the so-called tyranny of
the labor organization and against the
government tor not being able to meet
the strikers demands. The position Of
the government is extremely difficult.
The Justice of the claims of the seamen
that successive French governments
since Louis XIV have borrowed" i'm
mense sums from the seamen's funds"
is recognized but the culprits now can
not be made to disgorge and with the
means at the disposal of the treasury
the minister of marine says 1T is i'm
possible to increase the minimum OF
the age pensions to $3.50 and $500 for
men and officers respectively as the
seamen's organization demands.
The government points out that the
railroad men must be provided for and
adds that the scale asked for by the
seamen Is far IN excess of the scheme
for old age workmen's pensions which
the government has under considera-

ELIOT ON EDUCATION.
Harvard's Plans of Evolution Outlined
by President.


Detroit, June 1.-The growing in
fiuence of the modern university de-
ponds upon the efficiency of the men
they produce and put into the work of
the world, declared President Charles
w. Eliot of Harvard College in his
address to the delegates of the Assoc
ciated Harvard Clubs. today.
The address, which dealt with the
real tendencies of the day in relation
to higher education, opened the final
business session of the organization.
THE past forty years have seen
some notable changes in the educa-
tional system of the American schools"
said President Eliot. The changes ex-
tend to all grades and divisions of the
school work and they have resulted in
the broadening and deepening of that
work to a remarkable degree. First
among these developments has been
the steady tendency to increase the
pride of residence at the University
We are now planning a new business
course at Harvard which will also re-
Quire a degree for entrance and which
will require Ave and six years to COM
plete.
"A second noteworthy change is
found in the tendency toward individ-
ual teaching. This is an expensive i'm
provement and is the main reason for
the increasing cost of education in this
country. But perhaps the chief evil
dence of progress is found in the
change in the matter of discipline and

lawyers, who for several years have
been engaged in a conspiracy to de-

An order placed with an engraver

feet. The property owners are pre-
pairing to lay two miles of sidewalks,
in addition to one and one-half miles
already down. Our principal streets
are to be macadamized, too.
1--WE have just one grievance. The
o. r. & N. refuses to stop trains Nos.
1 and Q at Hermiston. These are the
through trains, and we have no day
trains except a stub from Pendle-
ton to Portland, although the through
night trains stop at Hermiston. This
is very aggravating for our citizens,
and will be more so with the rush Of
homeseekers, when the land opening
takes place.
Petitions of protest have been
signed and will soon be presented to
the railroad officials, asking them to
remedy the situation. Evidently the
only reason for running the trains
through without stopping is to save
few minutes time, but we don't
think we are being justly treated"

on a flying business trip. He speaks
enthusiastically Of the future of his
town, which is headquarters for the
government force engaged in the big
Umatilla irrigation project, by means
of which 10000 acres of land will be
brought under the plow.
'It is expected that about 1000
acres of this land will be ready for
settlement in January" said Mayor
Carr. Several miles of privately
owned canals will be turned into
this system. Water is to be diverted
from the Umatilla river by a canal
81 miles long, the point of diversion
being about three-fourths of a mile
from Echo.
"The big reservoir included in the
project is at Cold Spring. 1t will be
one of the largest earthen dams in
the United States, 80 feet high and
1000 feet long. When once filled II
