MAY READ OREGON PAPERS.

Heretofore one of the most bitter
punishments of oregon convicts, has
been the refusal of the prison authori-
ties to allow Oregon newspapers in
the penitentiary.
Even the most hardened criminal Is
interested in home affairs and this
Punishment of home papers has been
as hard to bear as the confinement, in
many cases.
However, through the humane sem
timents of Governor Chamberlain,
after June 1, oregon newspapers may
be read in the oregon penitentiary,
and several hundred prisoners will re-
joice at the changed conditions.
1t has always been mystery to the
East Oregonian, why men confined in
prison were not allowed to read home
papers. They have been permitted
to write and receive letters, carry on
regular correspondence, and READ out
side papers. Just what harm oregon
newspapers could do in the peniten-
tiary, has been a mystery difficult TO
understand.

San Francisco is nearing the only
logical solution of her street car diff
culties when she decided upon munich
pal ownership. When the cars are
operated solely for the purpose of CIV
ing the public good service instead of
being operated to pay dividends upon
millions of watered stock, the labor
troubles will have vanished. Most of
the serious labor troubles of the coun-
try can be traced to the inordinate
greed of the employing corporations.

UNJUST WATER RATES.

Baker City needs a readjustment
of the charges for city water, says
the Daily Herald of that place. 1t
tion that the alien owner of lands
within the city limits will have to
pay his proportionate tax for the
municipal improvements that are
made.
We are informed that the present
system was adopted and patterned
after the Portland plan. 1t may
work well in Portland, but it is GER
tainly not an equitable rate for the
citizens of this city.
The water system has seven and
one-half miles of steel and vitrified
pipe, in the mountains, nine miles of
box flume, three miles of wood pipe,
making a total of 20 miles in the sup
ply system. For these mains and
the necessary equipment was incur
red the municipal Indebtedness
largely. At present there is out
standing bonds amounting to $685.
900, drawing all the way from to
per cent interest; $4,000 of this
amount Is due next year and 100000
becomes due the following year. This
indebtedness must all be paid sooner
or later and every attention should
be given to the matter of rates and
taxation so that the obligation may
be met with the least hardship on
| the entire number of property own
ers.
There is in operation at the pres
ent time and has been for about four
| years what is known as base rate:
The minimum charge is Sc per an
mum, which includes the family who
occupy from one to five rooms;
stores pay s21 per year; saloons pay
s3G per year; anyone who owns q
cow or other stock pays SO each
year extra for the use of water fol
that. Not SO per head, but just SO
Besides this there is also meter
rate which is used in some cases
The Q. r. & N. railroad pays II
cents 1000 for the first 10000,
and five cents for each additiona
flat rate of SIS per year, but i
only uses the water for the depot.
1t can readily be seen by reading
these rates that the charges are no
made equitable. The poor man whit
buys small cottage and is workin
hard to pay for it and probably own
a team and a cow, pays more thai
does the man who owns a $500
home and lives easily. The rate t
the @. r. & N. is not sufficient 70
the service, and the man who invest
his money in vacant property doe
not pay cent toward the water sys
tenn, all of which is unjust in the ex
treme.
The city council has the power t
regulate these rates. 1t is an ardu
Gus task, but 1t is the duty of thos
in charge to study the question an
try and give this city a system c
rates which insures all a square dea

A fine park, with several hundred
shade trees on the site of the old cem-
etery north of the river, would be
delightful spot for Pendleton's visitors
on the hot afternoon on the Fourth of

be started. 1t requires many years
for trees to grow to any size and the
quicker the work is started the more
probable it will be that the present
generation may enjoy the shade.

DESERTERS.

Tears for the exiled everywhere
Condemned to pine
In martyred solitudes far from their
native shore,
yearning incessant toward one lost
horizon line
Yet all such haunted exiles in their
dreams once more
Walk the beloved ways of home; feel
their blood leap
To country and to kin, and patriot
ism keep
A hearth alight within their souls.
But tears for none
AS for the wllful aliens, meath a for
eign sky
Deserters vain who leave their work
undone,
Their cross un borne, to cheat the
fires of destiny!
Exiles of idle Pleasure whose golden
chains they drag
Within their dreams no country!
Within their hearts no flag!

1t is rather strange that the same
man who says advertising don't pay
and who pays his advertising bill as
though he were giving that much to
charity, is the first one to complain
if he is not given prominent mention,
free, every time he turns around. If
occasional free notices help, it stands
to reason that regular, judicious and
practical advertising, every day, pays
much better and is good business in
vestment. The people read the ad-
vertising columns regularly, and if
they do not find the leading firms
represented there, they wonder why
it is. If a firm is not represented
there the readers of the papers natur-
ally conclude that they have nothing
to sell. 1t is logical conclusion.

DON'T LIKE ALBERTA.

Walla Walla people who rushed into
the Alberta country two or three years
ago and invested practically all the
money they had in cheap" lands, now
write back that they have beer de-
ceived in the country and are anxious
to get out whole" and come back to
the inland empire.
Included in this list of dissatisfied
people are a number from Umatilla
county.
Cheap" land is not always good
land and summer climate is not al
ways a safe criterion by which to
judge a country in which one is going
to found home.
Many people have made some
money in the advance of land prices
in Alberta, but as to that country be-
coming a genuine, productive, perma-
nent wheat district, there have always
been grave doubts in the minds of
many who have been tempted to go
there.
As an investment, Alberta land has
been attractive for several years past,
but as wheat land-well that is an
other thing.
Umatilla county is a pretty good
place to stay, after all, judging from
the number of people who come back,
after few years absence, to make II
their permanent home.

PENDLETON is INTERESTED.

1t is currently reported in this city
and is believed generally, that syn
dicate of capitalists has been formed
for the purpose of buying up Umatilla
heirship lands as fast as they are
patented. This is a syndicate of spec
ulators in every sense, and the settle
ment of the reservation will be pre-
vented by the deal, If it is true, as is
believed.
In order to carry out its plans this
syndicate must have the connivance
of the Indian agent and the sales of
Indian lands, under such a plan, must
of necessity be made more or less Sc
cretly and cannot be conducted open
ly and above board, where the public
may have an equal opportunity in bid
ding, with the agents of the syndi-
cate.
Pendleton is interested in having
settlers buy the Umatilla reservation
ldHuS. lHeTe sHOulu De HOIle Oil
every quarter section of Indian land
sold and the Indian department will
not stand for any speculative deals, IL
1t can be shown that such are being
carried out.
Patents for Umatilla heirship lands
are now due in large numbers and 1t
is to the interest of Pendleton busi-
ness men who expect to enjoy increas-
ed business by increasing settlement,
to see that those lands are sold open
ly, in fair and square deal, in which
every man with money to buy a tract
of land will have an equal chance to
buy, with every other man.
1t is not to the interest of Pendletor
to have these valuable lands cornered
through secret deals with government
officials, in the hands of speculative
syndicate. Settlers are wanted II
Umatilla county and Pendleton bus
iness men should insist that settlers
be given a chance to purchase Indiar
lands.

Of Emperor Alexander III, and
Princess Dagmar, the daughter of
the late king of Denmark. His ed
ucation by private tutors was supple
mented by extensive travel. One of
the most exciting incidents of his
early career was his attempted assas-
sination by fanatic when he was
travelling through Japan on his way
around the world. Nicholas ascend
ed the throne November 1, 1894, and,
four weeks later, was married to
Princess Alexandra Alix, daughter of

projected construction OF other cleo
trio lines In o. R. & N. territory.
So walla Walla, by building electric
roads, unconsciously helps Pendleton
secure her long-desired local train to
Portland.
Already the walla walla-Freewater
electric line is coming money on its
first 10 miles of track. Much OF this
money has heretofore gone into the
ticket sales of the o. R. & N. The o.
r. & N. must, and undoubtedly will,
meet this competition by increased SER
vice. There is no reason why the
railroad company should not hold its
share of the business If 1t gives the
service the people demand.
While the electric line from Walla
Walla, in invading Umatilla county,
has turned trade toward Walla Walla,
It has also fastened better railroad
facilities for Pendleton,, for which
Pendleton is duly thankful.
