Hidden Gifts

THINK you, my little baby boy,
That the gifts are all for YOU
The picture books and the painted
blocks
And the soldier men in blue?
But what of the Joy in mothers heart
When she saw you dance for gee,
When you woke to see the candles burn
On the bouehs of the Christmas tree
VOU elapped your hands and you
laughed aloud
When you found the little pillow
With the oxen team that logged on
wheels
In the shade of the greenwood boueh.
But what of the silent tenderness
That stirred in mothers breast
When you drove the oxen to the barn
In the twilight hour to rest?
VOUR eyes in wonder opened wide
When you saw that the little
train
Would rattle down the carpet track
And then run back AGAIN
But what Of the golden train of thought
That follows your baby feet
To scatter the flowers of mother love
Where the way is bright and sweet?

HARTMAN AT SALT LAKE.
Various Northwest Projects May bs
Affected.

That a meeting at Salt Lake of ].
P. O'Brien, general manager of the
o. r. & N. and Southern Pacific
lines, and f. H. Hartman, to occur
tomorrow, will have some special
significance in relation to Hartman
railroad construction and improve
ments is the hope of Portland and
Oregon business interests, says the
oregon Daily Journal. Mr.. O'Brien
departed yesterday for Salt Lake. He
was accompanied by ]. d. Farrell Of
Seattle.
1t is believed the Portland man
will endcavor to induce Mr.. Harri-
man to visit Oregon at his time and
present to him personally important
matters that are pending here, along
lines of Improvement, betterment and
and expansion.
o. r. & N. officials are reticent
concerning the purpose of Mr..
O'Brien's trip to Salt Lake, but it is
known that he went at Mr.. Harri-
mans invitation, budget of the
large plans that have been prepared
cluding the line to Puget sound. This
particular project is in charge of j..
d. Farrell, president of the oregon
& Washington railway, whose head
quarters at Seattle have been busy
for several months with plans and
preparations for the Washington ex-
tension. The plans include a tunnel
through the East Portland peninsu-
la, and both Messrs. O'Brien and
Farrell are Jointly interested in the
project. That the Salt Lake meeting
will result in some final decisions on
some of the projects that affect Port
land and Oregon lines of the Harri-
man roads, or personal visit by Mr..
Hartman to this city, is the general
opinion Of those who have knowledge
of the situation.
So far as can be learned no defi-
mite itinerary has been made for Mr..
Harrlman's trip west of Salt Lake,
and there is no certainty that he will
continue his Journey either to San
Francisco or Portland.

Last evening the members of the
county court returned from the
Echo country, where they had been
since Sunday night for the purpose
of looking over bridges and roads in
that section. While there they ac-
cepted the newly built steel bridge
across the Umatilla at the mouth of
Butter creek, and decided upon re-
pairs for the bridge across the Una
tilla at Echo.
1t is the intention of the court to
spend in the neighborhood of $10,-
900 upon the bridge at Echo. A 120-
foot steel span is to be placed in pro-
longation of the main span of the
present bridge. Then the distance
from the steel span to the approach,
about 800 feet, will be filled. In the
past trestle work has been used there,
but It has not been sufficient to stand
the current during high water pc
riods.
Aside from the work on the bridge,
the court will also have a wing jetty,
300 feet in length, constructed above
the bridge. This will extend in such
a way as to turn the river back into
it's old channel and cause the main
current to flow under the principal
span of the bridge.

Tonight the Commercial associa-
tun will meet for the first time in
two months, and as business of i'm
portance will come before the asso-
citation a good attendance is desired.
No meeting was held last week ow-
ing TO the absence of President Ra-
der. and as the July meeting was also
omitted the association will have two
months business to dispose of at
once.
AT 1880 this evening the board of
managers will meet for the purpose
of discussing the proposition Of try
ing to secure quarters for the asso-
citation In the new city hall. 1t has
been suggested by some that third
story be added to the proposed build
ing, and that the floor be devoted to
the use of the association. This
evening the subject will be discussed,
and II the idea meets with favor
steps may be taken to see if the pro-
ject can be carried out.
Whether or not the council would
see fit to add another story to the
city hall remains to be seen. AS the
association has no money in the ex-
chequer with which to pay for its
portion of the building, it could re-
munerate the city only by paying
rent. At present the association has
quarters that are very conveniently
located. and the rent is reasonable.
However, the entrance from Main
street is a disreputable one, and
many members would like to see i'm
provements made In the stairway II
possible.
Should the idea of securing quar-
ters in the new city hall not meet with
favor from the members of the asso-
citation, 1t is probable that at least
an effort will be made to have the
presnt rooms provided with better
entrance

eastern market would set the Port
land and sound offices in the dark
themselves. AS nearly all of the buy
ing and selling is done upon tele-
graphic instructions from headquar-
ters, there is every reason to look
for lag in the market until after
the strike is finished.
However, the local wheat market
has been so quiet thus far that the
tie-up will make but little difference
for the present. So far the greater
number of farmers have been holding
their wheat in anticipation of better
prices. Seventy cents has been their
demand, whereas during the past
week the quotations have been &C or
81 cents for club wheat.

graph service is the cost of equip
ment, or to make 1t palmer to the
public, the cost of the wire. In the
old days before the invention of the
repeater it was possible to telegraph
but a short distance, necessitating the
expense of two operators at each re-
lay, while now it is possible to tele-
graph directly from New York to San
Francisco.
"Pittsburg was at one time, before
the perfecting of the repeater, the
principal telegraph office in the
world, for Pittsburgs then relayed be-
tween New York and Chicago, the
two great commercial centers of the
United States. In those early days
men worked with pens or pencils;
they worked eight hours a day and
received 800 a month. Now they are
required to work nine or 10 hours a
day, they are compelled to furnish
their own typewriters Ga man can do
twice as much work with a typewrit-
er as he can with pen), and grad
ually the Sliding scale has been en-
ployed, until it is almost impossible
to get a better rating than SIS in a
metropolitan city.

more than It formerly did, but the
telegraph companies have the benefit

A CONVICT ESCAPED.
John Ryncrson Would Not Work on
the Roads.

John RyncrsOn Would Not work on
the Roads.
Taking advantage of the facts that
he wore citizens clothing and that
he was a long way from home, John
Rynerson, a convict who was sent
with the gang to work on the roads
in Okanogan country, jumped through
the window of the special car carry
ing the convicts and made his es-
cape, says the Walla Walla States
man.
Together with 20 other convicts
Rynerson was bound for the Okano-
gan country where they were to be
put to work on the roads. Five guards
were in charge of the men and, as
they were chained together in pairs,
there was no thought of escape.
Rynerson asked permission to go to
the lavatory in the rear of the car
| and accompanied by his mate and the
guard, was allowed to do so. The
| guard did not go inside with the con-
victs, but watched them through the
partially opened door. Rynerson.
! quietly slipping his handouts off
leaped through the open window
| just as the guard, who heard the
clink of the iron, entered the door.
The train was stopped and search
begun for the man. AS yet, however
he is at large.
Roth the penitentiary guards and
the Spokane police are working on
the case and there is little danger
that the man will make his escape
| permanent.

GAMBLING AT BAKER.
Lid Tightly Fitted There Once, Open
Again Now.

Baker City, practically the only
city in the state in which gambling
is permitted, at one time had a lid
tightly fitted and sat upon by Sheriff
H. x. Brown, according to Rev. Ever
EFT NJ. Hill, who was at Baker City
when the sheriff closed the town.
Sheriff Brown and the district at
torney who served then were practi-
cally alone in enforcing the law,
said DIR. Hill, and they had nearly
all the business men Of the town op-
posed to them, because 1t was believ-
ed then that an open town would be
more prosperous. than closed town.
The next time an election was held,
a new sheriff was elected and the sa-
looms and gambling again run wide
open.-Oregon Daily Journal.

the Umatilla Central has arrived and

where the rails had been replaced
by heavier ones. Immediately after

DOESN'T LIKE SYSTEM.
Graphic Writer Complains to City OF
Cows, Dogs and Other Rubbish.

Awaiting the meeting of the city
council tomorrow night is a COM
munication that for literary merit ex-
cells anything ever before addressed
to the city fathers. The value of the
letter lies in its terseness and the di-
rect manner in which the writer
reaches the point. The letter is a
complaint regarding the dumping OF
garbage below the city and it recites
the fact that someone has been dump
ing horses, cattle, dogs and other rub
bish in his vicinity. Apparently the
action is resented by the writer for
he suggests a very radical treatment

AS a result of the telegraphers'
wheat market will have to remain at a
standstill for a while owing to the diff
ficulty in securing eastern quotations.
Up to 2:3O today none of the local
grain buyers had received prices for
the day, and in consequence they were
in the dark as to the state of the
market.
That the strike is liable to inter-
fere materially with the wheat mar

ADVISES EMIGRTION.

The negro Of the south Is in pc
cnlar position. Not there OF his
own free will, incapable of advance
mept over the commoner vocations
Of life except in rere individual
cases, and unfit to govern, he is vir-
tuaIIy deprived of the privilege OF
voting. A mental Of the white
race. the negro is not to blame for
his condition, because nature made
him an inferior to the caucasian as II
did all the dark skinned races. I'm
der these circumstances it is not sur
pIIsiuR that conditions in the south
are becoming more serious between
the races. The negro, since being
freed from ehattel slavery, has been
educated up to the point OF believing
that his rights are equal to those OF
the white man under the law and as his
race is in the majority in many sec
tions of the south, they should rule.
While this conclusion Is theoret-
iCally true, practically 1t Is an i'm
possibility for many reasons.a few be-
ing incapability, lack of appreciation
of moral obligation, arrogance as
result of ignorance, and last, but not
least, the uncomfortable belief Of the
white man in his own superiority.
These things cause conflict between
the races that will not be downed and
which no power on earth can stop.
1t 10 no wonder African Methodist
Bishop Turner says he "despises the
dag" and advises the emigration of
the blacks to Africa. We believe
the bishop 10 right in advising his
people to emigrate. II such a move
we're SUCCESSFULLY executed it would
solve the race question in the south.
