their pioneer trails, their places of
interest.
The Indian battles fought during
the Yakima and Nez Perce wars in
the inland empire We're more bloody
than many of the battles of the Amer
lean revolution which are now COM
with imposing monuments
Many of these western Indian fights
meant very, very much in the rescue
of the west from savagery and issues
of national import hinged upon the
results of these remote struggles of
the western border.
Around the old block-houses of the
"old Oregon" country are clustered
fascinating romances and genuine
historical interest. These should be
preserved and their sites marked by
western people. Soon the actual pio-
neers will have disappeared and the
story will pass with them and while
these veteran argonauts Of the Pa
cific northwest are still alive and the
scenes of their early conflicts known,
every effort should be made to mark
every historic spot and preserve every
historic landmark.
Another movement in which the
East Oregonian is deeply interested
and for which 1t has agitated and
pleaded long, is the introduction of
more oregon history into Oregon pub
lie schools.
Pupils in Oregon public schools
read ancient history, history of New
England history of explorations on
the eastern coast and smatterlng OF
history of the settlement of the central
states, but of oregon and her glorious
birth and more glorious career, there
is but a scanty mention, a mere trifle
of historic fact.
This is injustice to the state and tc
her public schools. OF all history ir
oregon public schools, oregon history
should be taught first and taught
thoroughly and intelligently.
Let us preserve the old landmarks
and study our own state. Its story
is fascinating enough to make en-
thusiasts of all who open its wonder
full pages.

PARTY ABOVE THE PEOPLE.

Does the government belong to po-
litical parties or does it belong to the
whole people? Is the will of the
whole people of less Importance than
the will of political machines? Are
candidates for public office subservi-
ent to the will of the people as an en-
tirety. or do they belong to their
parties first, and to their country
afterward?
These are some of the questions
suggested by recent attempts to dis
credit the popular election of United
States senator's.
If the majority of the votes cast in
a general election in Oregon for a
candidate for the United states senate
is not conclusive evidence of the peo-
ple's will what constitutes such evil
dence? If you believe in popular
government, in majority rule, how are
you going to ignore a majority vote
of all the electors of the state?
If you are going to disregard ma
jority rule in this matter, why observe
- majority vote anywhere or on any
occasion? Why not use the gag rule
and force machine candidates into
other offices beside that Of the sena-
torship? Why not adopt anarchy and
make party supreme over the state?

school population of the city has in
creased 2O7, the largest increase re-

contrary it is certain and unfailing
evidence of permanency and substan-

WHO WANTS \ NEW STATE?

Here is the way the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald regards the new state"
farce now being acted alone by the
city of Spokane:
When new state projects are under
consideration a voice is certain to be
heard from the region which includes
the northern part of Idaho and the
eastern part of Washington, in which
the city of Spokane occupies a central
position.
sinuating pamphlet has been sent
around the country setting forth the
woes of the unhappy inhabitants of
northern Idaho, who are cut off by
"impassable mountain barriers" from
their capital city, and also the woes
Of the unhappy men of eastern Ore
gon and Washington, who are likewise
cut off by the peaks of the Cascade
range" from that frequent and friend
ly communication with Seattle and Ia
coma and Portland which their hearts
crave.
The pamphlet tells of the crude
state-making of an earlier day when
parallels of latitude and longitude
were followed by congress, and no ac-
count was taken of the natural in
terests" of the inhabitants who were
later to be crushed to earth by lack
Of proper statehood arrangements.
This is all good reading and arouses
burning sympathies, until one discov-
ers that the project for the new
state" so earnestly demanded involves
the extension of the northern boun-
daries of Wyoming and the eastern
boundaries of California. and the lop-
ping off thereby of the northern part
Of Idaho and the eastern parts of Or
egon and Washington without regard
to anything but latitude and longi-
tude. Then If one consults a topo-
graphical map of the states in ques-
ton his sympathies fall as rapidly as
they rose.
The proposal would make a nice
large new state between the Rockies
and the Cascades, with Spokane as Its
capital, and the originators of the plar
are not averse to bribing Idaho tC
give away its northern counties by
transferring to it a rich section OF
eastern Oregon.
The state of Washington would bc
cut down by almost half and would
have less than 10000 square miles o
territory left, and Oregon would suf
fer almost as much. There would
still remain many counties in botf
Oregon and Washington cut off by thu
same 'impassable barriers" from
their state capitals, and there woul(
he many formidable mountain ranges
even in the heart of the new state.
; Considering all the facts, 1t is a fai
guess that the Spokane Chamber o
Commerce. which has been payint
the printing and postage bills, coulc
tell, If compelled, where the deepes
, interest in the project lies. Spokane
, motto doubtless IS Down with tn
hated rivals Of Puget sound, eel
though states must rise and fail TO
our revenge"

TRIPPED ON QUOTATIONS.

Mr.. Gladstone made the mistake of
thinking that the phrase "the land
of the leal" referred to Scotland, and
so used it. And 1t was he also who,
in one of his Midlothian speeches, re-
ferred to the words of the Psalmist,
"God tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb"--a text for which the devout
may search the Scriptures in vain.
sydney Smith was guilty of an even
more atrocious blunder when he
spoke of that beautiful psalm begin
ming Nov lettest thou thy servant
depart in peace" A no less curious
mistake was made by Bright on one
occasion, when he attributed the
common phrase "Cleanliness is next
to Goodness" to the Apostle Paul

SUGAR FACTORY-A. 1. Haaley
has returned from Wiley where the
company has opened branch store.
Wiley is one Of the youngest towns
in the tsate and has the most prosper
GUS future. Plans have heen drawn
for new sugar factory at Wiley, ten
miles north of Lamar, which will
cost 81 900, 900 and will have capa-
city of 700 tons. Work ON the plant
will be started next fall and the
factory will be completed in time to
handle the crop Of 1903. There are at
present 70, 900 acres planted to beets
in the Arkansas valley and the five
factories now in operation are unable
to take proper care Of the immense
CROP During the past season the five
factories were unable to handle the
crop within six months and as a con-
sequence a great part OF the sugar
was lost from the beets which had
dried out while waiting to be treated.
The waste caused by this delay makes
it necessary that other factories be
built and the new plant to be erected
at Wiley is start in that direction.
The beet tonnage of the valley last
year WAS 700, 900, but rs fast as other
factories are built the acreage is in
creased and business men who make
regular trips to the valley declare
that factories cannot be built fast
enough for several years to come.

Their outfit will be military In its
severe simplicity. Mrs. Scott will ride
astride and will wear blue flannel
shirt and pair of khaki riding breech-
es. She will carry sort Of divided
