A STENCIL IN PENDLETON.

1t has been two or three weeks
since either the Pendleton Tribune or
the East Oregonian has said anything
about the old cemetery north of the
river, and it is high time that some
thing was said about it. This is a
duty which cannot be shirked.
During the past week several
graves have been opened in search
for the remains of some person which
it was desired to remove. The opened
graves were only partially filled in
and there is a stencil in the vicinity
which is neither pleasant nor health
full
The residents of that locality hope
the stencil reaches to the city council
chambers and Smokes out" the
council on the subject of the old
cemetery
There seems to be no good reason
why this cemetery is not converted
into a park. Certainly those who have
friends or relatives buried there would
much prefer to remove the bodies or
have the ground leveled and planted
to trees and grass and made into a
beautiful park, rather than to have
II remain in its present disgraceful
condition.
There is no doubt about the city
councils authority to act in the con-
version of the cemetery to a park,
when it appears to the council that
the cemetery is a public nuisance.
If 1t is nobody's private business to
look after the cemetery certainly 1t
is time for the city to act for the
good Of the community.

all cities and towns that there shall
be bathrooms and bathroom attach
ments in all houses or compartments
used for habitation.
A system of finance whereby money
shall be issued exclusively by the
government, with such regulations
and restrictions as will protect it
from manipulation by the banking
interests for their own private gain.
Those are subjects we'll worth dis
cussion by American citizens. The
American Federation of Labor has
affiliated with 1t lis international
unions, 100000 local unions, SO state
federations and 5S7 central bodies.
Associations of business men sell
dom bother with such important mat
ters as the foregoing, and that's where
they make a serious mistake. BY ig-
noring such subjects they give the inn
preston that business men and capi-
talists are making war on labor.
Business men could not be in bet
ter business than discussing ways and
means of getting efficient govern
ment.

ROOSEVELT AND THE RIVERS.

Oregon should send a Roosevelt del
egation to the next national republi-
can convention, If for no other reason
than to secure the reelection of the
president that he might carry out his
promises and forecasted river i'm
provements.
River improvement with Roosevelt
is not local matter to be used as a
whip over the head of a state delega-
ton, but it is a national policy ap-
plying to the Mississippi, Columbia,
Missouri Potomac, Ohio, Susque-
hanna and every other navigable
stream with equal and unfaltering
force.
He is committed to the improve
ment of the rivers of the nation and
II reelected will make that a large
part of his future activity. His re-
cent trip down the Mississippi has
broadened him and has presented to
him the urgent need of internal i'm
provements.
He says the Mississippi dykes must
be strengthened. Holland has lived
behind dykes safely and securely for
centuries. The settlers Of the Mis-
sissippi valley must have a like Sc
curity in their homes.
The closed rivers of the west which
ii opened would furnish transporta-
ton to vast sections of undeveloped
country would appeal still more fore
IDLY TO the president who is by nature
a builder and a developer.
Oregon has much to hope for from
Roosevelt. His policies will be pecul-
iarly beneficial to the state, if carried
to their logical conclusion. Open
rivers, protected forests and streams,
public lands for the actual settler,
reclamation of her arid belt-all these
are a part of the Roosevelt program
and in all of these is Oregon most
vitally concerned.

THE MOHAMNIEDAN OATH.

OF all the many forms of taking the
oath used IN the courts perhaps the
most picturesque is that which the
Mohammedan is required to take. 1t
is silent ceremony. The son Of
Islam places his right hand flat up
on the Koran and puts the other on
his forehead; then he brings his
forehead down to and in contact with
the book. He then raises himself
and looks up steadily for some Sec
onds. The officer Of the court
should then-though he sometimes
forgets this-ask the Mohammedan,
"Are you bound by the ceremony you
have performed to speak the truth? ?"
and the answer is, "I am" In India
the ceremony has been abolished in
favor Of an affirmation.

\ TOAST TO WOMAN.

From Washington City comes this
beautiful toast to woman, says an
Ashville, North Carolina, paper. 1t
was originally given by a man who
was a hard drinker, but who had
turned from the wine cup and be-
come one of the leading lights of the
legal profession. The occasion was d
banquet in Philadelphia, on April
II, 1881. The toast is as follows:
81 should like to propose a toast
tonight, although a total abstinence
man myself-a toast to woman. To
be drunk, not in liquor of any kind,
for we should never pledge a woman
in that which may bring her husband
reeling home to abuse where he
should love and cherish, sends her
sons to adrunkards grace, and her
daughters to life of shame.
"Oh. no, not that but rather in the
life giving water, pure as her chastity
clear as her intuitions, bright as her
smile, sparkling as the laughter Of
her eye, cheering as her consolation,
SlIOIS anu SuSldlllllb dS leI lbNt-
in the crystal water l would drink to
her that she would remain queen re-
gent to the empire she has already
won, grounded deep as the universe
in love- built up and exercised in the
homes and hearts of the world;
would drink to her, the full blown
flower Of the creations morning, Of
which man was the blud and blossom,
to her who in childhood clasps our
little hands and teaches US to lisp the
first sweet prayer to the Great All
Father, who comes to us in youth
with good counsel and advice, who in
manhood meets our heart yearnings
with the faithfulness of conjugal love
and whose hand, when our feet go
down in the shadow, gently smoothes
the rough pillow Of death as none
other can; to her who is the flower
Of flowers, the pearl of pearls, Gods
latest, and brightest gift to man.

woman"

The declaration, of the national as
sociation of railway commissioners
that President Roosevelt's rate regu-
lation campaign has not resulted in
any general reduction of railroad
rates by the exercise of national pow
er, was rather wide of the mark. The
president has never advocated a re-
duction of rates. What he urges is a
uniformity of rates so that every man,
corporation and municipality shall
stand on an equal footing. The con-
vention did much better when it urg-
ed the adoption of a law by congress
requiring all railways to make use
of an automatic block signal system
to be approved by the interstate COM
merce commission.

Joaquin Miller has a theory about
the origin of the word Oregon" He
believes that it comes from the Span
ish words, "oyer aqua"-Tear the
waters, natural expression from the
Spaniards upon hearing the cascades
and waterfalls of the oregon noun
tains This may be poetical and in
spring for Joaquin, but the vulgar
herd and the newspapers will not
readily understand the connection.
They will stick to the school book
story Of the origin Of the name from
the wild marjoram, or oreganum,
growing in profusion along the coast.

ESCAPES FROM ITALY
AND SHIPS AS SToKER
TO NEW YORK CITY
BY Associated Press


NAPLES, April 21.-Details were OBJ
tainable today of the escape from Italy
of Enrico Affano, known as "Erricone,' u
head Of the Camorra secret society,
whose extradition is sought for by the
Italian authorities.
The local police authorities who had
long suspected him of being connected
with the Camorra, ordered a squad of
gendarmes to arrest him. But Alfano,
having assistants among all classes of
the population. was notified of the in
tention to take him into custody and
succeeded in leaving Naples.
He went from village to village under
varied DISCUSSES in an effort to elude
capture. At San Loucio, near Caserta,
the gendarmes surrounded house in
which Alfano was concealed but the
Camorra chief succeeded in escaping
and took a train for Rome. On arriv-
ing there Alfano consulted lawyer and
remained hidden for week. But lack
ing the certain protection of the Ca
mora, which is Neapolitan organiza-
ton, Alfano returned here.
The gendarmes, however, began clos
ing In on Alfano and eventually he Sc
cured a false passport and escaped to
the United States disguised as a stoker.

WOUNDED GIRL
MAY RECOVER
STILL LINGERS BETWEEN LIFE
AND DEATH
Police Officials Eagerly Wait for Her
to Regain Consciousness to
Clear Mystery Of the
Shooting

Detectives and police officers are anx-
iously awaiting the moment when Miss
zena Quinn, the pretty 1S-year-old girl
who was found unconscious in a room
at 739 Towne avenue Saturday after
noon with a bullet in her head, regains
her senses so they can question her and
learn definitely whether she fired the
shot which has so nearly cost her life
or whether she fell at the hands of an
assassin.
All yesterday the girl lay in bed in
her home, 4303 Horticultural avenue,
moaning and tossing in pain. Early
in the morning she regained her senses
for few moments, but soon lapsed
into an unconscious state. During the
day DIR. M. j. Greene was in constant
attendance at the young girls bedside,
and late in the afternoon stated there
was some slight hope she would re-
cover.
Detectives visited the house several
times during the day in the hope that
the girl would become conscious and
aid them in unraveling the mystery
which surrounds the shooting. She did
not do so, however, and at last DR..
Greene stated he expected she would
regain CONSCIOUSNESS LIllS morning ana
be able to tell the details of the affair.
Police Have No Clews
So far the police have been unable
to gain any clew to the identity of a
possible assailant, although they have
closely investigated all clews which
have turned up.
They are greatly puzzled by several
features of the affair, but say that
nothing but the recovery of her senses
by Miss Quinn can clear them up
So far the police are unable to learn
that any one saw the young woman in
her room. They cannot understand how
she could have shot herself, placed the
revolver on a bureau and gone over
and lay down on the bed. Neither
can they understand why she should
have wished to slay herself, and these
three are the most important questions
in the case to them.
AS soon as the young woman recov-
ers she will be closely questioned by
the detectives, and if it is found she
fired the shot their work will be at an
end. If Sc states she was the victim Of
some person the officers will at once
endeavor to locate the assailant.

FROST INJURIES
FRUIT TREES
CONTINUED from Page one)

Local Forecaster Hyatt of the United
States weather bureau show that the
heavy SHOWS which at the close of last
week prevailed east of the Rocky
mountains did not visit the country
west of the great continental divide.
There were scattered fiurries in Utah
and in other far western states, but
the fall was light and did not impede
railroad traffic.
General Manager Bancroft of the
Hartman lines Oregon Short line,
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific)
says that not the slightest delay to pas
senger or freight traffic has been ex-
perienced by those roads.
The same report was made by Super
intendent Van Housen of the Salt Lake
route (San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt
Lake,. Colonel L. A. Beton, general
passenger agent of the Denver & Rio
Grande, says that his road experienced
no trouble in Utah and that practically
no delay was caused in Colorado de-
spite the unusually heavy SHOWS which
prevailed generally over the state.
