Range is not scarce on the reserve
said George Mcdonald an extensive
Umatilla county sheepman this morn
ing.
"Why down in district No. we were
more crowded than any other place on
the reserve last year and yet our
animals were IN better condition last
fall than ever before.
1--WE only average 17-s acres to
sheep down there and in some places
thew have five acres. If we can get
along so well on that surely the others
ought to have enough.

SAYS RANGE IS NOT GETTING
SCARCE BUT ON THE CONTRARY BETTER

1T is not scarcity Of range that Is
the division of it. There is plenty for
all. The range is being cut down this
year but we had more than enough
last year.
There rs bound to be some disagree
but think it will all be settled up in
fair way for everybody. The impress
ion, should not get abroad that range
is scarce for that is not so and might
do us harm because the government
might cut dawn the number Of animals
allowed to Craze"

The City A~TalOdOrOus.

According to all purely local accounts
Washington is the City Beautiful. Every
body, including the District officials,
the real estate agents and the. retail
/ merchants, say so. The three Commits
sioners who represent the Government
make a point of explaining WashingtOn's
loveliness TO all who can be induced to
listen. Tourists resort to the capital in
large and frequent fiocks; they are hud-
died in sightseeing auto cars and hoarse
young men declaim to them through
megaphones az they pass along the show
avenues and bOulevards. There is much
grace and beauty to be found and nOt an
eyesOre or a slum in evidence. Beauti-
full, indeed
But the ~barkers" seem to have over
looked that very important quantity, the
sense of smell. May we be pardoned for
saying in the interests Of history that
Washington is mephitic from end to
the other? Its broad, smooth rOadways
at Once invite and foster the automobile
in it's most reckless and arrogant demon
stration. The whole city swarms with
big. noisy. snOrting and redolent iugger-
nauts. The local authorities have made
a great show of caution in the issuance
of licenses and doubtless the record will
absOlve them. All the same, however,
there is not a fashionable thorOughfare
in Washington which does not reek TO
~suffOcatiOn with vile smells. Almost
every auto car n meets distils I'M
speakably OdiOus and intOlerable Odors.
Torture waits upon the most sallOus
pedestrian. Abominable fogs obscure
the brilliant sunshine. Pennsylvania,
Connecticut, New Hampshire and Rhode
Island avenues, these and other favored
promenades, are abandoned to the vilest
stenches. And the District government,
hand on breast and brisket loaded
10 the neck with advertisement, calls
heaven and earth 10 witness the artistic,
moral and aesthetic superiority Of the
scheme it has cOntrivedl
The fact remains that Washington is
slowly but surely becoming uninhabitable
so far as concerns those free and healthy
persons who value fresh air.

view with him is printed in which he says
that as the blood Of crocodiles forms the
chief nOurishment Of the insect GlOssiRa
paIpalis- which conveys the dreaded dis
ease by It's sting OF bite to human beings
a war Of determination should be carried
on against the crocodile if~whOle COM
munities Of natives are not to succumb
TO the sleeping sickness Wherever It
occurs in flooded lands and ON the banks
OF rivers crocOdiles abound. In an Oh
Cial report made by DR.. KOCH to the
German Government in 1909 he named
three flies Of the glossina species which
deposit trypanOsomata microbes, or
germs Of the disease, when they sting,
and he'said that these flies subsisted upon
the blood Of mammals, water fowl and
fishes that live near the surface. He
noticed also that the gIOseina had a great

between its arInor plates. During his
stay on Lake Victoria Nyanza DR.. KOCH
tried to kill crOcodiles with poisoned
meat, but he admits it was more dam
gerOus TO the famished natives than to
the CrOcodiles.
The determination of these reptiles
might seem 10 be a more difficult under
taking than the cure of patients by
atoxyl, if that OF any other specific can
effect a complete cure. However that
NAV be, the reputation Of ROBERT KOCH
as a bacteriologist il so high that he must
have abundant proof that the crocodile
is the real source of the disease TO give
his discovery to the world. 1t will be
well to- await his signed report to the
Government before concluding that
GIossina palpalis extracts its poison from
no other creature than the crocodile.

An Experts Opinion.

Professor WILLIAM GRAHAM SUMNER
of Yale is a most thorough and accom-
plished student Of American finance and
Currency" has been an admiration and
a despair Of the colleges for a genera
ton. There are not many men, il there
are any men, in the United States whose
knowledge of the history and Of the oper-
atoms of banking and finance is more
profound. There are not many men
anywhere whose opinion upon these sub
iccts is sure TO be more enlightened and
informing.
1t may be worth while, therefore, to
reprint from the news columns of Satur-
days Sun Professor SUMMERS views of
the recent and present troubles:
- think the actions of President RoosEvELr are
largely responsible for the present difficulties.
His continued warning against corporate interests
has unsettled public confidence. The people arc
tlmld. the public mind Is In a state OF unrest.
investors are cautious. The country grows. has
grown very fast. and the Industries want money.
The people fear lest these Industries controlled
by corporations may he the subject Of Federal
attack, and they refuse to invest. The result Is n
crisis because OF lack Of money to continue. l can
see no reason why securities that pay o. 3 or even
10 per cent. should 90 unbought.
Il believe In the stability and honesty OF cor
porato management. OF course there are indi
vldual cases where the administration Ia not what
It should be. hut I don't believe there is any reasOn
why the corporation interests should not act In
good faith.
" The people de- not like to feel that the President
~ the United States and his coterlc are going to
attack tho Industries. and Of course the same con
dliuns the financial world Is facing now might
rrcur II the President were to renew his attacks
or were to stir w matters In his message 10
Congress.
But "" are strong In our crops. Corn and wheat
are not scarce and the cotton crop is just beginning
10 comc in. our production Is strong and our
Industries therefore well able to survive a situation
like the present. Then, too. the people are begin
ming to pay less heed TO The President after each
recurring attack. They IRE beginning to feel that
the only thing to do Is to pass his attacks or with
q laugh and pay no attention To them. n this
spirit grows, as It grew toward Mr.. LAWSON. the
danger OF a recurren' crisis or a continuation OF
the present crisis will be lesscned."
SO far as we know, Professor SUMNER
has no political or personal bias in the
matter. He speaks as an expert.

The Threatened Railway strike In
England.


England.
At a meeting held in London Novem-
Der 3, to which deputatiOns were sent
from all parts of the United Kingdom,
the secretary Of the Amaigamated So
cictv of Railway Servants announced the
result of the ballot just taken among the
members of the society on the question
Of n strike. II seems that OF the o., 900
members $1,000 voted. of whom about
1000 we're in favor of striking. Whether
the mandate will be executed depends ON
| the success Of the attempt to avert a
strike which is being made by Mr.. LLOYD
| GEORGE, president Of the Board of Trade.
The anxiety which under any Circum-
! stances would be aroused by the pros
pect of a general railway strike Is now
| deepened, because the provisions of the
Trade Disputes Act have placed new
weapons in the strikers hands, As yet
the British people have not realized how
formidable the weapons are.
An English barrister, writing to the
! London Daily Mai, points out that when
the Trade Disputes bill was under dis
cussion in Parliament public attention
was fastened principally on the fourth
| clause, which insures immunity to trade
unions and consequently to strike funds
from civil actions for damages. This
clause in itself however, would not have
| prevented ~injunctions against a strike
committee and its agents restraining
them from carrying out a particular
policy on the ground that IL would inter-
fere with the liberty Of third parties.
| What Is likely to astOnish many people
when they see the new law in operation
is the fact hat immunity from such in
functions is assured by its first and third
clauses, which practically sweep away
a long series OF judicial decisions. The
two clauses just mentioned virtually
legalize the boycott so far as trade
unions are concerned, the word boy
colt" being used of certain actions
unaocompanied by violence or threat Of
violence; intimidation by violence or
menace thereof remains, Of course, still
illegal.
The pressure Of the legalized boycott
may be applied either to a workman or
10 an employer. II it be exerted against
anOn-uniOn workman any employer who
wishes to engage the "scab" or black
leg" is informed that II he does so all his
union employees will be called OF. In
the case Of an employer other employers

who may wish to deal with him are for
hidden to do so under penalty Of losing
all their union employees. Hitherto
there have been many injunctions issued
against such bOycOtbs; but such injunc-
lions seem scarcely possible under the
Trade Disputes Act, which seemsN to
legalize almost every conceivable use Of
a blacklist.
Let us take the case Of the railway
strike now threatened in England. The
prohibition Of the supply Of coal TO boy
cOtted railways by miners unions and
carriers unions would put collieries dis
regarding it on a blacklist which might
mean bankruptcy. Other unions might
out Of sympathy forbid their men to
handle goods delivered by the offending
railway companies, and in the IA Of
p~erishable goods. milk for example. such
a prohibition might stop all trade at once.
Manifestly the lives Of hundreds Of thou
sands OF children might be thus imper-
lied. In other words, the weapon which
the Trade Disputes Act has put in the
hands Of strikers is that Of reducing the
urban population to starvation. How
mOnstrOus tho authorization OF such n
weapon Is will be- patent when we recall
that in warfare between nations the
rights of non-cOmbatants are now care
full safeguarded. In n strike, on tho
other hand, which is warfare between
capital and labor, the rights Of non
combatants are ruthlessly sacrificed by
the Trade Disputes Act.
Should a general strike take place
in England and prove effective most
Of the food supplies of London and
other large cities will no doubt have TO
be brought In vessels from the Continent.
So far, however. as supplies from the
counties adjoining the British metropolis
are concerned. farmers will learn to ap-
preciate the value of motor vehicles and
a great stimulus may be given to the
automobile business. We should not
omit to note that the directors Of the
English railways assert that a strike could
not be effective; but there must be some
doubt upon the subject in the minds of
members of the Cabinet, otherwise the
president Of the Board Of Trade would
not be making so strenuous efforts to
avert such an event.

What Shall Bo Dome with C%OrriGan?

What shall Bo Done with COrrigan?
City Magistrate CoRRfGAN kept the
night court open until I O'Clock in the
morning Of Monday to dispose of the
prisoners arraigncd by the police. Mr..
CoRRIGAN has voted and spoken against
the early closing plan favored by a
majority of the Magistrates. If, like
NJ. CORNELL, he finds it difficult to keep
his eyes open after 145 o'clock in the
morning nc has not complained of it.
He betrays a most improper and repre-
hensible tendency to make the court a
useful institution, fulfilling the objects
for which it was organized.
It is not TO be believed that the early
closing Magistrates are without means
Tor the punishment of Magistrate CoRRI-
GAN. They control the board apd have

not likely to let him go IN demonstrating
the unsoundness of the position they
have taken. He is guilty of exposing
the need Of keeping the court open late
mt a time when they are most anxious to
shorten its hours. He has had the pre-
sumption to prove not only that the SEES
sions of the court should not be curtailed
but in addition that there are times
when it should be open after the regular
time for shutting the doors.
