dogs il this jury should disagree,
for low estimate has been placed
on the canine family from ancient
times on down; raise good stock of
some kind, poultry, or something
the trades people and your mer-
chant want and will buy of you.
So far the dog has had all the
law on has side in Tennessee, and
it is high time Our general assem-
bly, enacted a law that will give the
sheep some chance to say the least
of it. Protected as he is the dog
has been very successful as sheep
killer and at eating eggs. Still,
you can't find the mans dog that
is guilty of this destruction.
If the dogs are so good and are
worth SO much to their owners, but
are not wanted by their neighbors
(who don't need dog in their bus
iness) why not, Mr.. Dog Owner,
confne your dogs at home where
he belongs and where heis wanted.
Experience shows that dog is
not only an expense to its owner,
but when permitted to run at large
which he usually does in this State,
he proves expensive to the neigh
bors, who must patiently submit
to the destruction of their sheep,
hen 'snests and other depredations.
If our people will substitute the
hog for the dog, they will find it is
far more profitable to them and
more satisfactory to those who are
loser on account of the dog.
With best wishes for the success

No town will become good bus

men rely on a few merchants to
make the effort to bring trade to
town. Too often the men in a few
lines Of trade are about the only
ones that reach out after custom.
Other merchants wait until these
men induce the people to come to
town and content themselves with
trade that naturally drifts to their

SHEEP VS.. DOG.
Editor THE CnRoNIChE

NN'DA Afh NhAAbNAAhNs
Ii you will allow me space in
your esteemed paper, | want to ask
the question, which is NEST profit
able to the human family, dogs,
sheep or hogs? Sheep is prosecu-
tor, dog defendant, and the men
who own the dogs are the Jurors.
Sheep shows that it actually cost
over 81 per month to keep dog,
and wants him to show what he
actually makes for his owner.
Dog goes out at night to see how
many lambs sheep has raised for
him, how many hens nests and
swill pals he can get his head into
and thus satisfy his appetite.
Estimating the cost of dog at
$14.50 (Which is reasonable this
amount will buy 80 or 35 bushels
of corn, and this will winter 20 or
rs head of sheep, say 20 ewes, and
they raise 20 lambs in the spring.
You then have 40 head of sheep.
AT the lowest price they are worth
$50, the wool is worth 500, making
a total of 500.
"You may take chickens, ducks,
or geese, and it will beat raising
dogs" says the hog, just after the
man and dog comes in after an all
night tramp with sediment settled
in the corners of their eyes and
their stomachs feeling like being
held down by grind-stone, and
the balance of the sheep can tell
the rest. Now, jury, decide the
case, and don't let your wives and
children known that you are on
this case and under the rule, for
you never saw woman that liked
a dog and give all the doubts to
the dog, for that's all there is in
him, boys doubts.

Editor THE CHRONICLES!
Itseems that the building of the
Benton Seminary is too small TO
meet the demands made upon it in
recent years, and more especially
at the present time, and the ques-
tion arises, how shall we make
more room. Our school is getting
larger every year, and the board
of education must see that all who
wish to come here shall have an
opportunity of doing 80, as there
is no question as to Camden always
having the best school in Benton
County. We have advantages over
almost all other schools because of
our school being located in the
healthiest town in West Tennes.
see, with churches, Sunday schools,
railroad, cheap board, good, cheap
townto live in and among the best
people on earth.
There is nothing to prevent the
continued growth Of our school, SO
let's add to the building. The
building is one long room of two
stories with wings 14x14 on each
side; add to these wings enough to
make them the full length Of the
building, take out the side walls of
the present building and throw
this all into one room down stairs,
which will give 28x60 feet more
room and will comfortably seat
$50 more pupils.
This change can be made at q
very small cost. If any one can
suggest better plan, let's have it.
What we want and will soon need
is more room.

"HARRY ORCHARDS" CRIMES.

In all the criminal history Of the
United States there has never been
such recital of murder, arson, vio-
lence, revenge and terror as that made
by Harry Orchard" the alleged MUIR
derer of Frank Steunenberg on the
stand at Boise yesterday.
1t is unbelievable that such a sys-
tematic, studied, cold-blooded plan of
murder and violence could be carried
out by men having homes and families
of their own, living in civilized age.
II Orchard" committed the mur-
ders he ascribes to himself and the
officials Of the Western Federation of
Miners he would lie on the witness
stand just as readily and so the pub
lie is in doubt whether to accept his
testimony as truth.
To such a man the crime of perjury
would be a mere trifle. He could hold
up his right hand before a thousand
Almighty Gods and swear to lies as
black as hades. Nothing in the list
Of human emotions or human mo-
tives would be binding upon him or
appeal to him. He is absolutely soul
less, devoid of every instinct Of man
hood.
His story has the semblance of
truth. The inspiration behind his
crimes is ascribed to the federation
which sought revenge. He makes the
story plausible. He tells 1t connected
ly, fearlessly. with excellent poise and
well sustained earnestness.
But under it all and through 1t all
runs such an aspect Of horror that 1t
does not seem that such a plan could
bt the work of human beings having
brains, emotions or the consciousness
OF responsibility. It is the work of a
fend.

CONGREGATION LAUGHED.

A revival meeting was in progress
and Sister Jones was called upon for
testimony. Being meek and humble,
she said: "I do not feel as though
I should stand here and give testi-
mony. I have been a transgressor
for a good many years and have only
recentIX seen the light. I believe that
my place Is in dark corner behind
the door,"
Brother Smith was next called on
for his testimony and, following the
example followed by Sister Jones,
said; 81 too, have been a sinner for
more than 40 years, and do not
think 1t would be fitting for me to
stand before this assembly as mod
el. I think my place is behind the
door, in a dark corner, with Sister
Jones'"
And he wondered why the meeting
was convulsed with the laughter of
those who came to pray.-Houston

THE GARDEN BEAUTIFUL.

That was garden beautiful
Wherein l walked one day,
A toiler in the dusty roads,
Who had no right to stray
A handbreadth from the weary path
Wherein her duty lay.

Will count my waiting wrong,

Then turned with hands thrice

That when before my Masters feet
The finished tasks 1 lay,
That rose I turned aside to pluck
May glad him more than they!

CLEANING OUT THE WEEDS.

The county court and District At
torney Phelps are making commend
able efforts to enforce the weed law
passed at the last session of the leg
islature and in this work should have
the heartiest cooperation from every
land owner in the county.
The noxious weeds are absolutely
taking the land in places in this coun-
ty, not in waste places, but in the
heart of the wheat belt. This land is
worth from $50 to 800 per acre and
farmers cannot afford to allow 1t to
be monopolized by non-productive
crop of weeds.
The personal pride Of every farmer
should actuate him in cleaning up his
land, just as it actuates owners of
homes in Pendleton to observe the
spring cleanup" days. The wheat
growing area of Umatilla county must

The tipping of dining car walters
has now been formally recognized as
a necessity by the national govern
ment. After July there is to be an
allowance of 40 cents day for tips
to walters in the expense accounts of
government officials who are travel
ing on public business. Some time ago
tips to porters and others were au-
thorized, but the walters were left out,
A protest was made and the coming
change is the result. 1t is said that

cials are on the road daily, which
would mean an annual cost to the gov

just for tips to walters.

COST OF RUNNING TRAINS.

That mathematical wizard of Una
tilla county, Assessor C. P. Strain, has
recently been compiling statistics on
the cost of running o. R. & n. trains
based upon the reports of the compa-
ny filed with the interstate commerce
commission.
According to Mr.. Strains estimates,
it costs the o. r. & n. company $1.S1
per mile to operate every tran in the
service. This is the estimated cost
taken from the actual reports of the
company and is approximately correct.
Mr.. Strain estimates the cost of run
ming the small local train between
Pendleton and Portland at one-half
of the cost of the overland trains, or
80 cents per mile, which seems to be a
fair estimate.
Taking this as basis, it would cost
the company s415.sO per day to oper-
ate two small trains, such as would
be required to handle the local traf-
fic between this city and Portland, a
distance of 231 miles. For 365 days
this would amount to s156,475.
This seems to be an enormous sum
for expenses, but when 1t is consider
ed that the annual income of the o
r. & N after all expenses are paid
amounts to about $4,000 per mile, o,
s2,079,OOO for the 231 miles between
this city and Portland. the expense
of running these two little trains is
but a drop in the bucket" as II
were.

lines in this state could make inn
provements, order extensions and ex-
pend money as they saw fit, the state
would be a quarter of a century in
advance of its present condition.
But they are as powerless as the
people of Pendleton to initiate i'm
provements, to add to the train serv-
ice, to make additions or changes to
suit the needs of the tributary terri
tory. They can only touch the button
in Oregon and then wait for the mag
nate in New York to respond as he
sees fit. They are at the mercy of
the dictator as we'll as the people Of
Oregon.
These local officials know the needs
of the country as we'll as any other
observant citizen of oregon. They
see the multiplying traffic piling up
all about them, they feel the increas-
ing movement of products, and know
the advantages which railroad facili-
ties would offer the growing state. But
they can only recommend. They can
not command.
: Their requested appropriations are
closely and vigorously scrutinized.
Their suggested improvements are
cautiously and vigorously investigated
by engineers 5000 miles from Oregon.
Their recommendations are filed away
for further investigation by a stock
gambling board of directors and a
plunging president, and the o. R. &
N. is looked upon in New York as
one measly pawn" in the great
game.
The head Of the system is too far
removed from the body
