No Disposition TO Hurry.
The opinion of the attorney general
that the election can proceed at any
time, though open to contest if held
before May IA, has caused many legis-
lators to ease up and there is now no
disposition to hurry things. All pos
SibiIities must be considered, all ad-
vantages and disadvantages weighed,
all trades thought out before many
will be ready to jump one way or
another. Consequently the senate
judiciary committee, to whom was re-
ferred the Smith resolution to have
balloting begin. today, quietly ignored
the resolution and if it is reported at
all it will of course be too late. No
date for election will be set till after
the caucrs is held and no plans have
been made for the caucus as yet. At
least Lieutenant Governor Conner,
who is state chairman and whose duty
it will be to call it, is saying nothing
about it. The caucus of course will be
the crucial and determining occasion.
That once held the election can pro-
ceed at any time. for the caucus NOM
inc will of course get the full party
vote. But FOR whom is fate reserving
the high honor in such Egyptian dark
ness? Echo answers whom
Tt seems to be the general under
standing. however, that the caucus
shall be held some time this week. Of
course the air is full of the claims and
counter claims of friends of the vari-
Gus candidates. but the probability is
that they will be found more evenly
matched at first than they imagine.
Then In the lottery of succeeding bal
lots it may be anybody's game.
Enlarged Capitol Park.
The scheme for the enlargement Of
the Capitol Park by the purchase and
clearing of six blocks of buildings
was presented before the state editors
at their banquet. the spokesman for
the proposition being g. l.. Wander

advanced it as a state scheme purely
and limited of great sums that big
lumbermen were willing to put into it
if the project seemed ut all assured.
He invited the editors to visit the
ground and consider the scheme care
fUl!y and many, in company with leg
islators, followed his suggestion. Their
opinion will be interesting to learn.
Two years ago the legislature passed

CAN LAND BE RECOVERED?

There is one point in the land fraud
trials which has caused much specu-
lation and inquiry among the people.
1t is this: If all these convicted land
thieves are guilty, If they conspired to
defraud the government as charged
and proved against them, if they have
secured land through dishonest and
fraudulent methods, why cannot this
land be restored to the public do
main?
Why is the land secured by fraud
allowed to remain in possession of the
thieves? Is there not means by
which this plunder may be returned
to the people from whom it was
stolen?
1t seems idle folly to impose fine
of $1,000 and a Jail sentence of six
months on a man who holds from
$4,000 to s1,OOO,OOO worth of the
peoples property in his possession.
II ne can De punlsheu lor Stedllh6 IhiS
property. should not the same law re-
store to the people their stolen prop
erty?
This featute of the land frauds in
designations and trials takes away all
the keen edge of the Investigations.
The land thieves can well afford to
pay their fines and serve their sem
tences if allowed to hold the stolen
property.
The people are asking why the plum
der is not returned to the owner,
as stolen merchandise is restored to
the merchant on the arrest and con-
viction of the thief.

THE PUNCIIERS.

Securing the foothills, ranging the
flat,
Riding the herd through a deep
coulee, ,
This is the trade than men worked
at,
These were the days when the
plains were free.
Long-horned cattle and long-haired
men
Wild as the waves of a prairie
Pitting their might in the branding
pen,
Braving the sleeps of mountain
spire.
10! how the kingdom they loved is
lost.
Inward the lines of the range re-
cede,
Lightly the flames of it's kings are
tossed,
Sunk is the roar of the mad stam-
pede.
Lithe-limbed riders have waved and
gone,
Close in the wake of the buffalo
band;
Canp-stars die. and the night is one,
over an empty Cowboy-land.

DREAM TOLD HIM THE NAME.

Through a dream Samuel Howard,
chief operator for a telegraph COM
pany at Lexington, KY, probably
saved the company a damage suit. A
message was received Friday from
Omaha, addressed to w. B. Ellis OF
this city, but no such person could
be found.
Howard was thinking of the mes
sage when he went to bed, and he
dreamed that 1t was for w. Bush
Nelson. grain dealer. As soon as
he reached the office the next morn.
ing he sent the telegram to Nelson
who read it and accepted It as com.
ing for him. Nelson expected the tel.
egram the afternoon before, but sale
the delay had not caused him any
Inconvenience. Had the Telegram
not been delivered, 1t would have
meant loss of several thousand dol.
lars to him.
The mistake in addressing the tele.
gram to ELLIS" inctead of Nelson wa,
doubtless due to the confusion caused
by the strike.

United States, Canada and Australia
have the largest vacant sections, but
the increase of home population, and
the movement of population from the
congested cities and suburban centers,
will soon claim all these vacant Sec
tions. There is no place for the orien-
tai.
The United states has been made
the leading nation of the world by the
commingling of European races on
this soil. The union of the best quail
ties of the English, Irish, Scotch, Ger
man French, Scandinavian, into one
American people, has stimulated and
awakened the best qualifications, has
created the finest and most virile ma
tional character and enterprise, ever
witnessed in the world.
But the United States never receiv-
ed an unlifting impulse from the COM
ing of an oriental race. Their only in
fluence is degrading, no matter what
the enthusiasts say. There is no place
here for the orientals and laws must
soon be made to stop, entirely, the
flood of orientals, which is now pour
ing into Pacific coast states.

THE LADDER OF ST AUGUSTINE.

Saint Augustine! we'll hast thou said,
That of our vices we can frame
A ladder, If we will but tread
Beneath our feet each deed of
same.
All common things, each days event.
That with the hour begin and end,
Our pleasures and our discomfort,
Are rounds by which we may as
cend.
The low desire, the base design,
That makes another's virtues less;
The revel of the ruddy wine,
And all occasions of excess;
The longing for ignoble things;
The strife for triumph more than
truth;
The hardening of the heart, that
brings irreverance for the
dreams of youth.
We have no wings we cannot soar;
But we have feet to scale and climb
BY slow degrees, by more and more.
The cloudy SUBMITS of our time.
The heights by great men reached
and kept,
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions
slept,
Were toiling upward In the night.
Henry Longfellow.

U'REN'S PLACE IN OREGON.

w. S. U'Ren of Oregon City, father
of the initiative and referendum, di-
rect primary statement No. l and
other popular measures now in force
in Oregon, has a unique place in the
history and life of the state, and no
more fitting reward could be rendered
him by the people than to send him
to the United States senate If he de-
sires to go.
Mr.. U'Ren has worked for reform
when practically every other public
man in the state had given up. He
has travelled over the state at his own
expense, agitating discussing, urging
the adoption of these most popular
enactments, when only a handful of
men were willing to back him.
His patience has been marvellous.
His faith in the ultimate wisdom OF
the people and in the ultimate over
throw of the political machine has
been torch to lead the way to pres
ent-day reforms.
U'Ren has simply nursed into life
several of the most important laws
now in force in this state-laws
which the people would not now
permit a politician to touch with a
40-foot pole. AS a practical reformer
and patient and persevering worker
he has no equal in the state.

A GOOD PLACE FOR MONEY.

There are a number of struggling
educational institutions in Umatilla
county which deserve support. They
are doing fully half of their work for
poor students who cannot afford to
pay; they are giving away as much
energy as they SELL
These institutions could be lifted
into places of permanency and useful
ness by few endowed scholarships,
which could be given by Umatilla
county people without embarrassment.
Suppose every farmer in Umatilla
county whose wheat crop this year
will yield more than $4,000 should en-
dow a five years scholarship at 800
per year in Pendleton academy, st.
Joseph's academy, Columbia college
or some other educational institution
in this county.
These farmers could select the boy
or girl to use these scholarships, and
in this way their idle money could be
giving some poor boy or girl an edu-
cation it would be employed in max
ing better citizenship, in building up
the standard of the country from
which they have enjoyed such splen-
did bounties.
Suppose 200 farmers should give
500 per year in a scholarship, for
five or 10 years. These scholarships
would fill up these struggling schools
and give them an opportunity to
spread out into new territory and thus
bring in more and more patrons from
distance. At the end of five years,
after having enjoyed an assured pat
ronage from these paid scholarships,
they would be self-supporting, we'll
founded and beyond the need of fur
ther nursing.
One hundred or $3.50 per year spent
| by Umatilla county's bonanza farm
ers, in helping educate the poor boys
and girls of the county, who hunger
for an education, but whose circum-
stances will not permit five years ex-
pense at school, would be the most
splendid investment ever made by a
public-spirited and generous citizen.
This is a most inviting field for
charity-for charity which will mean
something, which will stand as a liv-
ing monument in the better citizen
ship of the state.

To the universal whole,
(Answer, God! my anguished souD
Let me speak where l am heard,
Through the press where masses
horde,
Glad to catch the truthful word.
Where the poet and the sage
Voice their souls to bless the age
Let me give to all the race,
In my heart a resting place.
Let me live for he who fights
For humanity's equal rights;
Working with the brave and true
Till my duty here is through.
Caring not for wealth or fame;
But to prize an honored name.
Knowing the reward will be,
Sunshine through Eternity.

PLENTY OF TELEGRAPHERs.

A few months ago the railroads
were complaining that under the new
United States and state laws limiting
the working day of telegraphers to
eight hours, some 5000 additional op-
orators would be required, and that
there was no available source of sup
ply. At present there are about 49,
600 telegraphers out of employment
from which to fill the vacancies. And
as the commercial telegraph compa-
nies claim to be able to get along
without the strikers, their employ
ment by the railroads would be highly
advantageous all around.--San Fran

ton in the district schools of these
two states. When not at school he
worked on the farm.
After his education was finished
he taught school in Illinois for year
or two. Then he returned to Dako-
ia to take up land claim, but soon
after went to Boston and began to
write stories. ,'
1t was not many years, however,
before he again returned to live in
the Mississippi valley, and 1t is in
this region that he received the in
spiration for the most of his litera-

Travelled Roads, in 1890 assured his
literary success. Since then numer-
Gus novels and several dramatic
works have been the products of his
pen.
