Proposed Scotch Canal.

An cid plan for ship canal across
the narrowest part of Scotland has
been revived and is being pushed by
business interests of Edinburgh and
Glasgow. Glasgow has one plan for
cutting the canal at cost of S40,-
100000. Edinburgh has another which
is estimated to call for an expenditure
of $S5,OOO,O0O. Originally it was sug-
gested that the existing Forth and
Clyde barge canal should be enlarged
and made into tidal canal without
locks at cost of $70,OOO,OOO. AS yet
the cost has barred progress, but the
canal would be of very great value
to commerce and so it is expected to
become a reality in time

John G. Risley of Detroit, at the
New York convention of the Interna-

Employees convention notable for
its condemnation of the tipping system
said to reporter:
"The public thinks that we walters

very ignorant in this matter. When

reminded of a political meeting l at
tended last April. There was a chap
at this meeting who knew nothing of
parliamentary procedure, and, besides
that, he was half full. Well, in the
course of the meeting there was a lot
of excitement and shouting. 1t grew
worse and worse. The chairman, in
the end, had to hammer on the table
and yell:
"'Order! Order!'

WHAT THE WOMEN WORE.
OF Course the Story Teller Didn't
Really Mean Just That.

A gentleman recently returned from
that quiet little Maryland resort,
Ocean City, has a tale to tell of con.
ditions that are really sensational.
And the worst of it was that he did
not know they were sensational at all.
He was out calling the other evening,
and the conversation started with the
shirtwaist man, who, the returned
wanderer said, was to be found in
great quantities at the summer resort.
Then he told about the habit every
body down there had contracted of
going without hats. This is the way
he told 1t to an interested company:
You see everybody down there
going about just the same. The men
never wear coats; they go about in
just their shirts and trousers, and the
women are just like them"

A somewhat remarkable discovery

been made by an officers wife at an

evening when some men visitors

here wears white hose. 1t isn't be-
cause it is the fashion, but because
mosquitoes rarely bite through white
stockings. We learned that in the
Philippines. Black hose seem to at
tract these pests. There is something
about white that repels them. Tell
your women folks that when they Wis

EVER AN UPWARD PROGRESS.
Steady March Of the ToiIers Toward
Improved Conditions.

o. M. Boyle, a noted writer on labor
; subjects, thus refers to the holiday:
Labor day of 19O7-the twenty-first
since the day became a legal holiday,
the twenty-sixth since it's first actual
observance-finds the workers of
America vastly better off in many re-
spects than they have ever been in
history. According to many labor
leaders and economists, workers are
to-day better paid by from 10 to 40
per cent. than two decades ago. Their
hours are shorter, and 1t is asserted
that they are better fed, better cloth
ed, and better housed; that their chill
dren are better educated; that their
environment is happier, and that they
have more leisure to enjoy the bene-
fits of all the refining influences OF
life.
Twenty years ago there were few
labor laws. Now there are many in
almost every state. In 1886 the num-

LIKE TRADE SCHOOLS IDEA.
Point In Which Europeans Consider
They Lead America.

When Mr.. Alfred Mosely last year
sent 200 teachers to the United States
to study the American public school
system his main object was to gain
information on which to found the
necessary reforms in the schools Of
England. 1t appears now that the
observations made by the teachers
commission abroad will benefit all
Europe.
Ihe opinions expressed by the Brit
ish teachers on their return are be-
ing reflected in educational papers
throughout Germany, Austria and
France. In Germany the discussion
of the problems has already caused
the school boards to take steps for
the introduction of important inno-
Vations. While the general education
al scheme followed by American
schools is heartily applauded, German
pedagogues join their British col
leagues in their criticism of two very
important points-namely, the en-
ployment of female teachers in boys
classes and the absence of technical
training, in which France leads, with
Germany close second.
But for the want of trade high
schools the American public school
might be called perfect" says one au-
thority.
Herr Ullmann, of Berlin, provincial
school director, remarks: IN the
prevailing conditions trade schools
are an absolute necessity. Our boys
cannot all become professional men,
and many branches of commerce and
industry are so specialized that train
ing is absolutely necessary to gain
success. Unless we provide this
training our schools will turn out
lot of idlers and Jacks of all trades
who have no future unless wealthy
parents can stake money in some ven
ture."

curing satisfaction of a claim that his
government had been vainly pressing
for years.

False Smallpox RumOrS

, Mayor Morelock and DIR. Gregg of
Wallowa report there are several cases
of smallpox in that town. The disease
is supposed to have been brought to
Wallowa by man recently arrived
from Idaho.
Mayor Morelock telephoned Mayor
Boyd, Tuesday, stating there were three
cases there and that it was thought the
contagion had come from Mrs. II. c..
Cramer of Enterprise, who called at
the homes where the disease afterwards
appeared, while on her way home from
Idaho. This story was Immediately
investigated and found to be untrue.
Mrs. Cramer has not been i'll and has
not been at Walowa for several weeks.
There was no smallpox in Idaho where
she visited, end there seems not the
slightest foundation for the story.
Another rumor was current the first
of the week that there was smallpox at
Lostine. This is also false. The origin
of that falsehood is not known but the
Lostine people are trying to trace it
down as it was started they think with
the .design to hurt the fair.
