"BRING ON THE LAND TRIALS

The atmosphere has cleared in re-
gard to the Oregon land-fraud cases.
A class of lying newspapers did their
very best to make people believe that
the trials had been called off. Perhaps
these papers had sinister purpose in
their Misrepresentation, or perhaps it
was only a matter Of habit. Anyhow,
it is now quite clear that there was
never any intention on the part OF the
authorities concerned to drop the cases.
Prosecutor Heney takes all the blame
upon himself for the tiresome delay,
he being tied up all Summer with the
prosecution of the San Francisco graf
ters. thieves and bribers. Now it is
authoritatively announced that the
Oregon trials will be proceeded with
at the October session Of the United
States Court in Portland. District At
iorney Bristol will prosecute a number
Of the cases, but Mr.. Heney will be on
hand about November l to take up the
trials of ex-Representative Hermann
and ex-District Attorney Hall. This
is satisfactory news to the great ma.
jority of the people Of Oregon, who
earnestly desire that swindlers and be-
trayers of trust shall get their dues. -

LESSON OF A TRAGEDY.

The waves of Puget sound have cast
up, in trunk. the body of 17-year-
old wife, who married against her
parents wishes. It WAS case where
the child desired one course, and the
parents advised another. The girl
took her choice and it turned out to be
six feet of earth, and marEle slab In
churohyard.
1t is unfortunate that children can
not com prehend and respect the supei :
ior wisdom of p arents. Lack OF these
adds enormously to the divorce colony.
1t vastly augments the sum of human
misery. Ill-advised marriage and the
consequent unhappy home. is bane
of the race. There, children are
sohooled in feuds and inooulated with
ill-temper and irascibility. This in
fiuenoe, as a wellspring of human sor-
row, is almost infinite in its effects.
The parents experience in life. is
fearful asset in knowledge. Added
to a parents love. it is of infinite value
to child. 1t is the surest aud safest
Of all guides to safety and happiness.

CAN THEY EXPLAIN?

AS a rule successful insurance or
der, or company, is lender, not
borrower. The Order OF Washington
seems to be an exception. Though
flourishing and "far from insolvent, I"
according to its secretary, still it owes
a large sum to the Oregon Trust d
Savings Bank. The debt was incurred.
it seems, when the Order of Washing
ton took over the "Lions" and "Pio-
neers of the Pacific" How was it in
CURED? What were the terms Of this
mysterious transaction? Why should
the "taking over" of these societies
throw new obligations upon the
Washington" policy holders? What
did they receive in return? What did
the officers of the society receive?
Why, again, should the society go in
debt aud imperil the investments of its
mem bers to "enter the Eastern States?'
ALI this looks astonishingly like high
finance.
Still more astonishing Is the report
of the Insurance Commissioners OF
Washington and Idaho, who "investi-
gated" the Order of Washington after
the note for $28, $50 was made to the
savings bank-and found no trace of 1t.
A searching investigation that must
have been. Do they investigate other
companies in the same way? Prob
ably they do.
The report of these two commission
ers upon the Order Of Washington is a
valuable document. "There are nc
outstanding liabilities" it says, ex-
oept some unpaid policies. while the
note for nearly $50, 900 lay in the saw
ings bank. Is this typical of their
habits in making reports? An expla-
nation of this affair by the Insurance
Commissioners of Washington and
Idaho il sorely needed. What have
they to offer?-Oregouian.

TONNAGE ON THE RIVER.

The National Rivers and Harbors
congress from time to time issues Tor
circulation information relative to the
Improvement of rivers anG harbors.
An article headed Tonnage on the
River" is so apt, and 80 complete an
answer to Mr.. Harriman's reasons for
not building railways, and particularly
the one through central Oregon, that
we publish it. The article follows:
If the question of "present tonnage"
had been taken into consideration as
the prime and moving factor III the
earlier days of the United States, it is
exceedingly improbable that capital
would have been induced to invest In
the construction Of railways. But the
builders of railways looked to the
country it was designed to pierce with
the rails, to its possibilities of mine,
of field, of forest and of climate. and
procured their charter, subscribed
their capital stock, overcame engineer
ing difficulties and constructed their
lines through territory which then was
a wilderness, but today is teeming with
commercial and industrial life.
There was no tonnage across the
Alleghenies, save in the Conestoag
wagon, when the first railway was pro-
iected in Pennsylvania. There was no
tonnage ON the plains save the tonnage
that was carried in the prairie schoon-
er. when the project of great trans
continental line was suggested as a
possibility, and like conditions existed
when the Baltimore 81 Ohio, the Erie,
the New York Central, the Georgia
Midland, the Illinois Central and other
great arteries were projected. But
trade and commerce, mining and agrl-
culture, the church, the schoolhouse,
the newspaper and an intelligent and
pushing citizenship followed the con-
struction of the railway-and vast tom
mage also followed in its wake. Today
the tonnage or the country is SO enor-
nous in its proportions, and increasing
at rates that stagger belief. that the
magnates Of the trunk systems frankly
admit their inability to handle the
freight offered to them for transporta
tion.
That excess of freight must find a
highway at once continuous. safe,
efficient and reliable--and that high
way can be found only in the water
way, with the test of merit being in
its capability to bear tonnage If ade-
quately improved. not in it's capability
to bear tonnage in it's unimproved con-
ditions, nor in the fact that, being un-
improved, the tonnage is light. Ton
mage follows the highways of trade
and commerce. The history Of every
improved waterway demonstrates the
fact If existing tonnage had been the
test in the early days. no railways
would have been constructed and ton
mage has followed so enormously that
the one solution of the question today
is admittedly to be found only in the
improved waterway and harbor.

on figures of previous years. The vast
majority Of more than 5000, 900 child
rem now in the schools will, under this
calculation, leave school from choice
or necessity before they are 16. They
must, therefore, depend on the grade
schools for the education that is to
carry them through life.
Viewing the situation Ill the ight
of the figures thus presented one rea-
Lies the great need OF making the
grade schools thoroughly efficient. 1t
is possible consistently to appreciate
the Importance of the high school and
the vast benefit it confers on the edu-
cational status Of the nation, and yet
to recognize that in the grade schools
not only is the foundation of learning
laid, but that in them very large
proportion of the people receive prac-
tically all of the school training they
get.
1t is important that the facilities in
the grade schools and the qualifications
of the teachers for the work they un-
dertake should be as great as are re-
quired in the high schools. In the one
the studies are primary; in the other
more advanced. But in order to take
advantage of the advanced courses,
there must be a good and solid founda-
tion in the primary essentials. In the
expenditure of school moneys it should
be the aim to bring the grade schools
as near to perfection as possible. --

IMPORTANCE OF GRADE SCHOOLS

School statistics show that there is
an increase of 955 in the enrolment
this year over that of last year in Spo-
kane. OF this increase the high school
has 204 and the grade schools 751.
The total enrolment in the high
school is 1862 and in the grade schools
9460.
According to figures compiled by the
secretary of the Citizens Industrial
Association of America nearly 6,OO0,-
900 children have entered the schools
of the United States this fall, and of
this number it is assumed that less
than $50. 900 will ultimately reach the
high schools, the estimate being based
