East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-12-13

1t Is apparent that both the legis-
lative and executive branches of our
government are now fully alive to
the exigencies of the situation and
that they will go about the work of
effecting permanent relief measures
in a calm and deliberate manner,
which is why the present session of
congress is viewed in a far more
hopeful light than most of its pre-
decessors.
AS to exactly what nature the inn
pending changes in our currency
laws will assume, 1t is yet too early
to foretell, as there is still a wide
difference of opinion on this all-lm-
portant subject; nevertheless 1t may
be regarded as practical certainty
that whatever policy is adopted will
be for the lasting benefit of the
country at large and that hence-
forth there will be little or no dam
ger from panics growing out of our
antiquated currency system, such as
have been occurring with increasing
frequency during the past few years.
If such an event ,transpires, it will
be one of the greatest blessings that
have come to this country during the
present generation and will mark a
most welcome elimination to one of
the most extensive panics ever wit
messed. j q tYEE J g l.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-12-13

When the estimates for the current
year were framed, petitions for estab-
Iishment Of rural routes were being
filed at the rate OF over $500 a year,
but as already stated, the number OF
new cases presented during the fiscal
year 1907 fell off 2133. reducing the
demand on the appropriation to that
extent -.
1t was further found practicable
BY the Encouragement and consolida-

ton of existing routes in connection
with country service and by the dis
continuance OF routes not sufficiently
patronized to effect. a saving Of $272,-
600 on the years appropriation.
The estimated cost of rural carriers
leaves Of absence was $4,000. only
S704.337.45 Of this amount were ex-
pended, by reason of carriers falling
to take advantage Of the privilege
given them.

unobstructed by gates, without un-
bridged streams not fordable at all or
dinary seasons Of the year; that there
shall be possible patronage OF 100
| families on routes "a or more miles
in length or proportionate number
on shorter routes, and that three
fourths OF the families within reach
OF the service shall pledge themselves
to provide for suitable boxes and to
avail themselves of the service.
Where the proposed routes traverse
roads already covered by star routes
which can not be discontinued or by
which mail Is delivered to practically
the entire population desiring rural
delivery, the provision of law pro-
hiblting a duplication Of service has
been closely followed.
At the close of the fiscal year 1907
rural delivery was in operation on
SIZES routes served by 37,5S2 car
riers, on $50 OF these routes service
is performed triweekly. On nearly
all OF lne Teuldlnuef the service Is
daily. II is contrary to the policy
OF the department to establish rural
delivery with more frequent service
than once a day.
During the year 2312 new routes
We're established and $50 routes were

Motion Of PIanets md sateIlite..

All the planets travel the same way
round. This Is true not only of the
eight primary planets. but Of the as
teroids. Again. all the secondary plan
cts or satellites travel the same way
round, this direction Of revolution be-
ing the same as that in which the plan
cts revolve around the sun, except the
satellites of Uranus, which. however,
can hardly be said to have any dIrec-
ton Of motion with reference to the
general level in which the planetary
system circuits. for they travel in
planes nearly square to that Level.
Lastly. as respects direction Of motion.
all the planets whose rotation has been
observed, including our earth and moon
and the sun also, rotate on their axes
in the same direction. It must be I'M.
derstood that this direction Is one and
the same for all these motions -therey-
Olutions OF the planets around the sun,

natural to infer that the uniformity is
the result of some general condition af-

BELGIAN BEAUTY CARRIES DAY
Department of Commerce and Labor
Admits Girl at New Orleans.
One Board Says She Has Trachoma,
second Board Divided-Fisht
Lasts Three Months.

After a fight which nas lasted nearly
three months, the friends Of Miss Irene
Vanderauvera, u beautiful young Belgian,
have prevailed upon the Department of
Commerce and Labor 10 allow that young
woman To become a citizen OF the United
States. AS result Of their victory the
foreign population Of New Orleans is re-
joicing in the addition 10 its mebership
Of an exceptionally beautiful and accom-
plished young woman.
IN the latter part Of April Miss Van
derauvera landed in New Orleans from
Belgium. She was examined by an i'm
migration surgeon, who declared that she
suffered from trachoma, that disease of
the eyes from which many Europeans
suffer. and because of which many immi-
grants are deported The young woman
took an appeal, and special board Of
inquiry was ordered to look into her case.
This board, composed Of three govern
ment physicians. agreed that she had
trachOma.
Her friends, however, would not give
up the fight. They called in several of
the leading oculists Of New Orleans.
After a thorough examination these spe-
cialists declared unanimously that the
young woman not only did not have
trachoma, but that she showed no evil
dences Of ever having had it.
Upon the strength of their findings,
Miss Vanderauvera' s friends summoned
other strong influence. and the case was
carried to the President. Accompanying
the appeal for Intervention on his part
was a photograph Of the young woman,
which proved that she was remarkably
beautiful. AS a matter Of fact, the Presi-
dent had no authority TO intervene. The
case was brought to the Department of
Commerce and Labor and a second board
of inquiry was ordered.
The report of that board has reached
the department Two of the board said
Miss Vanderauvera did not have trachoma.
One said she did The dissenting surgeon
appealed to the Secretary. Herbert Knox
Smith. acting Secretary, took final action
on the case to-day. He upheld the board
and ordered that the young woman be ad-
mitted
