A question which perplexes some Of the wisest republicans is Senator Foraker's purpose in conducting the Ohio fight in the manner in which he Is doing it. says one writer. Why, for instance. should Senator Foraker, who knows he stands no chance of secur- ing the presidential nomination, seek to prevent another of Ohio's favorite sons from being president? Is that not a dog-in-the-manger poliey7 If it is, will not the people of Ohio. who have sent two great presidents to the white house, repudiates Mfr For aker? And. finally. why did not Mir Foraker merely makethe race for re- election to the senate and leave the presidency alone?

When President Mckinley asked Judge Taft to take the responsible position of governor general of the Philippines, he told him it would make him president. In every step MT Taft has taken with reference to the Philippines, he has followed the policies laid down by President Me- Kinley and as result his admins tration of Philippine affairs has been so successful that he thinks he is en- titled to the presidency.

SUPPORT ARMoRY BILL.
State Now Paying Out Large Sums for
Rent OF Militia Quarters.

Portland, April 20.-(Special. y
Does II pay TO have a landlord?"
That world-old question OF economy
is being asked by Oregon national
guardsmen all over the state. An
swer that question, they say, and you
have expressed your views on the
armory BILL which Is to be voted on
at the June election.
Under the present arrangement,
the state Is In the position of'a man
who has another's roof over his head.
so far as armories are concerned"
said Adjntant General W. f. FINER,
in an interview today on the subject
OF the Armory bill "The state not
only suffers the inconvenience of be-
ing Tenant. but is paying out thous-
ands OF dollars In rents that should
be going to the construction OF per-
manent state armories.
Leaving aside the patriotic mo-
tives which should cause every voter
to lend all support possible to the
rational guard now part OF the first
line OF defense, the economic aspect
Of the armory bill should carry It at
the June election. At the present time
Oregon has rented armories in 10
cities outside Portland. These ar
mories are not suitable for the pur-
pose 10 which they are put and yet
they cost the state exactly $4,000 per
year.
THE armory bill appropriates $685.
COO per year for four years for the
building OF armories. Thus the total
appropriation is 100000. 1t doesn't
take much figuring to show that in
n few years the state would be ahead
on the deal and that the armory bill
aside from providing necessity,
makes the way for good invest
ment.'

INDIANS WILL
Be GO0D CITIZENS
NEE PERBosTAkE INTER
EST IN, COUNTY AFFAIRS.
Educatnd Members OF the Tribe Re-
monstrate Against the Creation Of
Herd District In Ncz Perce County
-Hcreafter VIII Take More Active
Part as Citizens.

That the more progressive element
OF the N0z Perce Indians will take
an active Interest in the affairs Of
the county hereafter is shown by the
following from the Lewiston Tribune:
II what Stephen Reubens says Is
the sentlment Of the tribe, the Nez
Perce Indians in the future will take
an active interest in county affairs, as
such affairs relate to the property OF
the Indians.
This fact was brought out yesterday
when Reubens and a delegation of In
dams appeared before the board OF
county commissioners to demonstrate
against the formation OF herd dis
trici in the Lapwai and Spalding dis
tricfs.
The appearance Of Reubens and his
tribesmen marked the first occasion
than an Indian has directly partici-
pated In county affairs. the plan
adopted in the past being for them to
be represented either through an at
torney or more commonly by the In
dian agent acting under directions
from Washington.
Reubens has the benefit of the edu-
cation afforded by the Indian indus
trial schools maintained by Uncle
sam. Until a short time ago the benz
efts that this education might-be to
him and his tribe did not appeal to
Reubens and, after returning from
school. he drifted along with what Is
termed the renegade" element OF the
tribe.
He was reformed last year through
church influence and has now become
n prominent factor in tribal affairs.
He is a brother of James Reubens,
now deceased, who has been classed
by many as the most intellectual lndi-
an that the Nez Perces have ever pro-
duced and whose appearance and ar
cument at Washington on one occa-
sion attracted such attention tha'
every attache OF the interior depart
nent was attracted to the rooms OF
the secretary of the interior before
whom ne made his appeal.
In the matter of the herd district
some days ago 'Reubens addressed
communication to the commissioners
stating he and his tribesmen desired
to be heard II 1t was the pleasure OF
the board TO hear them. The board
notified them to be present
The Indians lost out yesterday and
the petition OF David Gilmore and
others asking that the district be Gre
ated was granted, yet the argument
OF Reubens was interesting and sug-
gests a new policy on the part Of the
Nez Perces, who own so much Of the
land embraced in Nez Perce county
as to county affairs.

AUTO RACES FOR ROSE SHOWS.
Biggest Events In History of the West
10 Be Seen I'm Portland.


Few Portland people realize the
of the big automobile
races the local motor club is. putting
on during the rose festival, but moth
! ing like 1t was ever attempted in the
west before, says the Telegram. The
automobile event greater than dinky
races on tracks and in California
where there are thousands of cars, en-
durance and hill-climbing contests
have been about the limit.
Road races are the true tests for
rank of the movement for testing the
actual stock cars sold the public, and
not some specially built flyer. No
outside racers will be brought in and
only makes will be admitted that are
represented here by agents now.
The course chosen is an ideal one
and will truly rank next to the VAN
derbilt and Briarcliff, as has reen
said. Starting at the school house
near Montavlle the course goes south
one mile to the section line road,
thence east six miles to near Gresh-
am, thence north one mile to the
Twelve-M road and west to the
starting point.
The course is between IA and Is
miles long. The county commission
ers have given ii up for one afternoon
and the governor has promised the
state militia to guard II. 1t will be
oiled at the expense Of $4,000. and the
tSrns widened. Three hundred thou
sand people attended the Vanderbilt
race, SO this event ought to be one Of
the main attractions of the carnival.
The. course will be true test for
the cars because every variety OF turn
will be met. There will he the square
corners, the S curve in the section
line road, near Gresham, another
kink beyond and the seven-mile down
grade from Twelve-Mile House to
Montavilla. That is as pretty a
stretch of road as there is in the
country, and many of the drivers will
hit up so miles an hour doing it. The
prizes in the 100 and 50-mile races
will be handsome and costly cups for
permanent trophies, which a man
must win three times consecutively
to become owner.

WORK ON THE JETTY
RENEWED ACTIVITY AT
THE COLUMBIA BAR

Columbia Contracting Company En-
ploys 200 Men In Rock Quarries-
Work on the Jettles VIII BE Con-
tlnucd Vigorously From Now on.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-04-20

Two hundred men have been put to
work within the past week by the Co
lumbia Contracting company Of this
city, getting out rock at Fishers quar-
ry for the extension Of the jetties at
Columbia bar, says a Portland paper.
Nine barges are used in transporting
the rock from the quarries to the land
ing at Fort Stevens, where the forces
engaged on the jetty load 1t on cars
and run II out over the railroad track
to the beginning of the new two-mile
extension.
The work OF extending the jetty will
take about two years as a result OF
the recent appropriation of $2,5O0,OOO
by congress- The south. jetty will
then have extended to a total distance
OF seven miles from the main land. No
work has yet been done on the pro-
posed jetty on the north side of the
mouth Of the Columbia, but the pro-
ject of this second jetty Is looked up
on with favor by the government en-
glneers, who have made the necessary
surveys.
Dan Kern, manager OF the delivery
OF the rock, expects to put on about
200 more laborers within the next so
days, as soon as more facilities for
handling the rock have been establish
ed at Fort Stevens. Al present, the
delivery Of rock amounts to about 1000
tons a day. This rock is mostly Of
large size, ranging from a weight Of
Is tons TO so pounds. It is a hard
basalt that will resist the wear and
erosion Of the sea water, and by its
weight will keep in the position in
which 1t is placed.
1--WE pay our men from 50 to 81 a
day OF 10 hours" Mr.. Kern says, "and
we are getting all the men we want
at present. In fact, more are apply
ing for work than we can accommo-
date, and the men, as a rule. are will
ling to do more work than they were
last year, and do not quit suddenly
and without provocation, as they used
to when work was plentiful and high
priced"
The Fishers Landing quarries are
situated on the north side Of the CO.
lumbia river, some nine miles above
Vancouver. The quality of the rock
produced is said by the government
engineers to be better than that found
anywhere else along the lower Co.
lumbia.

CATS PROTECT THE MAIL.
Portland Postoffice Is Sorely Infested
With Rats and Mice.

NlUn ItitS uilu NiCC'
On duty at the Portland. postoffice
night and day are several cats. And
they are not pets nor are they kept
their for their beauty or to be admir-
ed by the clerks says q Portland pa
per. The cats are kept az the postof-
flee to protect the mails from rata
and mice and they cost the govern
ment $24 year.
Portland Is one of the few post
offices in the country for which the
postoffice department makes an an
nual appropriation for the sole sup,
port Of cats which are always sup
posed to be on duty. The money is
used to buy food for the cats, though
this seems somewhat OF reflection
upon their ability to catch the pesky
little rodents.
At times much trouble was former
ly experienced by the postal clerks
there because of the fact that rats
and mice were always gnawing the
mail pouches and opening letters ad-
dressed to individuals, regardless of
the penltentiary penalty imposed upon
individuals for such an act.
It has been found that cats cannot
live on rat daintes or choice bits Of
mice, and milk and meat must be
supplied at intervals. Consequently
