of avoiding errors-for the man who
is not accurate is too dangerous a
person TO find a berth in a newspaper
office.
'In addition to these qualifications
the more education a reporter has the
better equipped he is, and there is no
branch of school learning that is not
of value to him, for he handles every
subject under the sun. Yet there are
hundreds of first-class newspaper men
who have but limited school educa-
ton. After all, the best education for
the reporter is the street of a busy
city where his work calls him. and his
keenest critic is the merciless blue
pencil of the copy reader.
Newspaper work makes man
broad-minded and intelligent. for his
education is in constant progress. His
duties take him in turn into the court
room, into the bankers private office,
into the operating room of the hospi-
tai, into the drawing room of the So
ciety leaders of the city. In turn he
reports a sermon, an inquest, a street
fight, lecture, a fire, a political con-
vention, a murder, a ball game or a
speech and everywhere he learns
something.
when the newspaper men assem-
bic to receive their assignments, there
are many callers upon the city editor.
These people all want one of two
things. Some want certain things put
into the paper and the others want
certain stories kept out, and there are
fully as many of the latter as there are
OF the former.
IF only such news is published as
meets the approval of everybody
there would not be enough news to
fill the paper once a week instead of
once a day. Railroad officials do not
like to have published the news of
wrecks on their roads, or their plans
for building extensions; business men
do not like to have the news of busi-
ness failures published. Mrs. Brown
doesn't want published the list of
guests at her reception because Mrs.
Smith, who was not invited, finds that
Mrs. Jones was, and she is angry about
it.
"'The cub reporter, as the boy just
starting in the business is called, is
inclined to accommodate his friends
by leaving out what they do not want
him to publish, but he soon gets over
that and always finds plenty of per-
sons who are eager to give him par
ticulars of the same events which
others are so anxious for him to
omit"

This is the season of the year when
the real joy and pleasure which a
family affords, are keenly appreciat-
ed. To see the happy children ad-
vancing from grade to grade, filled
with enthusiasm and aspiration, to
see their developing minds grasping
new and wider phases of educational
progress and to know that the knowl-
edge and learning which they are ac-
quiring are to enter into the active life
of the future-these are the only real
rewards, the only things worth while
in life. The empty baubles of society,
the meaningless platitudes of the self
ish life-these are nothing.

a practice of travelling more. The

FORESTERS REPORT.
Eighty-Two Applications for Agricul-
tural Lands.

Forester Schmitz of this city is
sending in his report on agricultural
lands throughout the national forest,
says the Walla Walla Union.
This report is sent to Inspector E.
T. Allen of Portland. According to
the report. so applications for agri-
cultural claims have been received.
Twenty of these were rejected on the
grounds that the land concerned was
more valuable for timber than for ag-
rcultural purposes. Forty were APP
proved and the remaining 20 came in
too late for examination. These claims
are nearly all situated in the Eden
and Grouse country on the Grand
Ronde river.
The report is liberal in that 1t
throws land open for settlement as
agricultural land when 1t may have
good deal of timber on It, This re-
port was made by ]. H. Clark last
June but was never completed. 1t
has lately been revised by Mr.. SchmNz
and is now ready to submit, The ter
ritory embraced by the report is what
is known as the Wenaha national for
est, part of which is in Oregon and
part in Washington.

San Francisco, oct. S.-Plans are
being laid by San Francisco shippers
to bring suits for damages against
the Southern Pacific on the grounds
that they have been mulcted out of
thousands of dollars by favored rate
scheme of the railroad to favored
shippers, as laid bare by the inter
state commerce commission investi-
cation here lately.
Shippers of every line of traffic in
the city and vicinity of San Fran
cisco are organizing to bring suits to
recover unjust freight charges and
ii is estimated that the sums asked
for in court will reach into the mil
lions.
The cases are complicated and far
reaching and may open up the way
for wholesale prosecution against the
railroad company. The facts dis
covered by the interstate commerce
commission are such that prominent
attorneys declare the recovery Of
hundreds of thousands of dollars
taken in extortionate rates from
shippers not "on the inside" is pos
sible under the law.
The Southern Pacific is marshaling
its leading attorneys in the city to
make a fight in what promises to be
the most Sensational suit yet brought
against a railroad company on the
Pacific coast.

BURGLARS AT THE DALLEs.
Thought to be an Organized Gang al
Work.

Is there a gang Of burglars ope-
rating in this city? asks The Dalles
Chronicle. This is the all absorbing
question that confronts the people Of
The Dalles. The petty thieyery Of
the past two days is alarming and a
bad forerunner to the big fair.
Some miscreant cut and broke his
way through the doors and rooms Of
the Diamond Mills Saturday night and
ransacked the entire building from
cellar to garret, examined the con-.
tents of the cash box in the safe, but
found no money in it.
He gained entrance to the storage
room through an open window in the
basement and a trap door in the
floor. To get into the machine room
the thief cut hole in the door panel
large enough to insert his hand and
then turned the night latch. Thence
he proceeded to the office, where he
found the safe unlocked. In ordr to
open the inner locks, he bent one of
them with heavy bar and in another
the bolt was cut from its wooded
socket with a knife.
Finding no money the burglar
seemed to have been disgusted as the
check books and other papers were
ctrewn promiscuously on the floor.
The only article missing when the
workmen came to the mill this morn
ing was an old coat that had been
hanging in the garret.

Baker City, oct. S.-(special.)-
Never before in the criminal annals
of Baker county have murderers so
completely covered their trail as have
the assassins of ex-Sheriff Harvey X.
Brown.
Officials have run down every pos
sible clew which has presented itself
without coming to any conclusion as
to who the assassins were or what
their motives could have been.
Since the search of the Charles
Kinnison home in this city by the
officers there has been little develop
ment in the attempt to locate Harvey
Browns slayers.
Mrs. Kinnison's home, was proba-
Lbly looked upon with suspicion from
Ithe fact that her husband was former
~ an officer of the Western Fedora
ton. She invited a search Of the
premises and aided the officers in
every possible way. Nothing what
tsger was revealed and there is every
reason to believe that at no time has
there ever been any justifiable cause
for suspicion of the home.
The Kinnison family is we'll con-
nected and the fact tlat they are ex-
celleht people is known to every resi-
dent of Baker City.

HISTORIC GAVEL A PRESENT.
Congressman Ellis Private Secretary
the Owner of Relic.

A fine cherry gavel has been
presented to the Associated Students
of Whitman college by Edward d.

received a proposition from R. I.
Mclaughlin of Walla Walla, TO install
a fruit and vegetable cannery in that

ping more than $4,000 yearly. It is
estimated that the plant, exclusive of
the site, will cost between $1,000
