TIE POWER OF RECALL.

The defeat of the Newell bill giving
but 25 per cent Of the people the
power to recall an Objectionable Off
cial was perfectly proper. It is not
the intention of the promoters of this
principle to make it a weapon in the
hands Of a small majority of the
PEOPLE, nor to reduce 1t to the level of
a club for a few agitators.
The principle is right and will pre-
vail in time. The people, the electors
should have the same power to recall
a dishonest official from office as
they have to call the official into Of
flee in the first place.
The bill should have provided for
a recall vote of at least 81 per cent of
voters. The East Oregonian would
gladly accept a law providing for so
per cent vote for the recall of dis
honest official. The law is just and
right, but the rights of the official
must be safeguarded by making the
majority necessary for recall large
enough TO represent the bona fide
electorate Of the state.
When over half of the people are
dissatisfied with an official 1t is time
lie was recalled from office.

IRRIGATION CODE LOST.

Although the eastern Oregon dele
CATION in the house made a gallant
fight for the amended irrigation code
which came up for final passage in
TIE house yesterday. that measure
was defeated by a bare majority OF
two votes.
The bill had been amended to meet
the objections of the interests lined
up against it, and only applied to
eastern Oregon. The power which
the original bill gave to the state en-
gineer was taken away from it. Its
heavy appropriations were pruned
down. Its interference with legiti-
mate private power and irrigation
schemes was reduced to a minimum
and it should have passed by all
means, in its amended form.
The action Of Representatives Bar
rett and Steen of Umatilla county in
standing by the measure will be long
remembered by the friends of honest
water legislation. Mr.. Barrett was
carried from his sick bed to vote
against the indefinite postponement
of the bill.
The only eastern Oregon member
who did not stand up gallantly for the
measure was Representative Slusher
Of Umatilla and Morrow counties,
who absented himself from the house
and could not be found when the
postponement of the bill was voted
upon.
When but two votes would have
saved this measure which had been
remodeled to meet the objections to
it, it seems unfortunate that any
eastern Oregon man should have de-
serted at the critical time.

1t is a most strenuous job to be an

tirely deprived of time in which to

mate development of the county
comes so slowly.
That Pendleton will be the site of
large sawmilling plant in the near
future is the confident expectation of
those convcrsant with the facts. The

TEA FROM THE FLOWERS.
Naturally Sweet Tea Of Western
China-Value Of Tea Dust.

Naturally OWCCG lGd VI WCSLGth
China-VaIue Of Tea Dust.
Tea. not from the leaves, but from
the flowers alone of the plant, is rarely
encountered in commerce. The petals,
stamens, etc, are sun dried, and the
resulting tea is of a rich, deep brown
hue of peculiarly delicate odor, and
gives a pale amber colored infusion
rather more astringent in taste than
that from the average fair grade leaf.
The taste for it is an acquired one.
and even if this tea could be made
commercially possible it is doubt
full if it would ever become popular.
The American sea trade could adj
vantageously take a suggestion from
the brick tea Of the Far East. In our
country, the tea dust, some of which
is Of good quality, is not properly
utilized In Europe it is regular
article of trade, and it is advertised
and sold as tea dust. In America it
is sold to thousands of cheap restau-
rants, who make from it the mixture
Of fannie acid sugar and boiled milk
which they sell as tea" If, as in the
Orient, this dust were compressed
into bricks, good tea could be made
from it, and the product would find a
ready market through the multitude
of uses for which it is adapted. A be-
ginning in this direction has been
made by the Pinehurst tea estate in
South Carolina, and in Europe SINH
lar advances have been inaugurated.
The virgin tea (biepjcld-chi), so
called from it's use at Chinese wed
dings, is the sun dried leaf intact,
tied up with three strands Of colored
silk. After infusion, these fagotlike
little bundles are picked in vinegar
and used as salad. This tea is sold
in especially handsome silk covered
and glass topped boxes. The rarest
Of an teas, and one that has never
been known to reach this country, is
a naturally sweet tea, produced in
western China on a very limited scale.
It's culture is centuries Old and the
secret has been jealousy guarded from
generation to generation. The sac
charinity is probably due to grating
and years of patient study and care,
such as only the small Chinese tea
farmer is capable of bestowing
entific American.
