Canes For the Graceful.

Small triple capes upon the new
redingotes give width to the Shout
ders, and this in turn adds to the
APPARENT slenderness of the waist.
These fashionable garments should
be worn only by those of erect and
graceful figure or the result is like
ly to be deplorably lacking in style.

As the curtain descended upon the

ill-conccaled impatience.
Sorry, dear" she began brusque-
ly, "but I shall have to leave YOU for
few moments; it's absolutely i'm
perative that should see a woman
outside " And without waiting for
remonstrance, or even meeting the
sweet, reproachful gaze upturned to
hers, she extracted her hat and cane

MAYOR LANES DEFIANCE.

Mayor Harry Lane of Portland, de-
flies the democratic machine organiza-
ton of Multnomah county and will
not submit to the regulation halter
which the machine hoped to put about
his neck when he promised to be a
candidate for reelection.
There is but one way in which Lane
will stand for reelection and that is
upon the understanding that he en-
Joy absolute freedom in his adminis-
tration. There are to be no pinioned
arms, no muzzled mouths, 40 shack
led feet-but absolute freedom on part
of the mayor to direct his adminis-
tration for the best interest of the
people.
Harry Lane has been a mayor
without a master and Portland has
benefited by the Lane administration.
If he can continue his free and un-
trammeled policy, he will serve again,
if not, he will not be a candidate.
1t is really refreshing to see and
hear men of this type openly defying
the machines, both democratic and re-
publican.

one of the great and enduring hu-

EUGENE GOES FORWARD.

In electing ]. D. Maddox, the mu-
nicipal ownership candidate for may
or, the city of Eugene goes a step
forward among her sister cities in
Oregon.
Municipal ownership of wafer and
lighting facilities is becoming a popu-
lar and winning program in all the
leading cities of the country and in
the new charter of PendIeton a pro-
vision should be made by whicis the
city may acquire power sites, devel-
op and maintain light and power
plants and be prepared to meet any
emergency which may arise in fu-
ture.
Now is the time to acquire these
facilities Willie they are available. 1t
will be but few years until an enor-
nous price will have to be paid for
sites suitable for the development of
power and light and action should be
taken now to secure to the city a
property of this kind somewhere on
the Umatilla river.
The day of municipal ownership
should find Pendleton wisely supplied
with facilities.

ROADSIDE FRUIT TREES.

Americans who visit Belgium with
observant eyes, and note the rows of
fruit trees bordering the public roads,
come away impressed with a sense Of
wasted opportunity in this country.
Just think what an abundance
there would now be of fruit Of all
kinds. as well as of umbrageous beau
ty everywhere, If the miles and miles
of dull, shadeless American roads
had been planted with hardy apple,
cherry, plum and pear trees! The
cost would have been slight, the
amount of care required small, the
returns, how large In the neighbor-
hood of towns and cities. also, the
abundance of roadside fruit which
the boys might be permitted, under
slight restrictions, to pick up and
eat at WILL would have been pro-
lection to private trees, which few
persons now attempt to grow on ac-
count of the general apprehension
that the boys, not the cultivator,
would get the fruit.-MaXwells Tails

NO CHANGE OF TEXT-BoOKs.

For few years the people of Ore
gon have enjoyed comparative free
dom from the school book imposition,
but now that a few agitating book
agents have found the ears of the
school book commission, another gen.
eral change in school books is pro-
posed.
1t is announced that about one half
of the books used in the grades will be
changed at a coming meeting of the
state textbook commission, the rea-
sons being that a number of leading
educators" have advised a change.
The real truth of the matter is,
perhaps, that a few high-salaried
agents of publishing houses not now
represented in the course of study in
Oregon public schools, have urged
the textbook commission to make a
change. These agents are paid to
find a market for books and they are
not interested in removing the enor-
nous burdens of expense from the
shoulders of the people who must
bear the expense of the change.
The present series of school books
has been in use but a short time
about six years, and there is little gen.
eral complaint. The people are just
recovering from a long series of

1899, there has been practically $34,-

should be behind drainage, either
through the government or private
enterprise. In other words, $215,-

WASTED IRISH LAND.

The landlords own most of the land
in ireland and rent it out to the
farmers, who assert that 1t is poor,
and consequently they have a hard
time to produce enough to support
their families and pay the rent. Most
of the land seems to be used for pas
turage. and but little of it is under
cultivation, as are the lands of Italy
Germany and France. Besides, there
is a great waste caused by the build
ing of wide turf fences. There are
more fences to a farm in ireland
than in any other country. The poor
people complain of the rich in AM
erica who are accommodating the mil
lions.-The Travel Magazine.
