ALAsKA's NEW SALOON LAW.

A Washington Dispatch says of the
propoed new saloon law for Alaska:
The house committee on territor-
les today made a report on a bill to
regulate liquor licenses in Alaska. 1t
is the purpose of the bill to break
up what is known as "perambulating
saloons" in that territory. Hereto
fore, the retail licenses have been of
a graduated character, ranging from
$500 a year in towns whose popula-
tion is 1900 or over, to $500 in places
whose population is below 500. I'm
der the bill reported today a flat re-
tail license of $1,000 is provided and
provision is made that no license shall
be isued except in an Incorporated
town or in one where there is resi-
dent commissioner or United States
deputy marshal.
1t is claimed It Is claimed by Gov
ernor Hoggatt and others in Alaska
that under the present law a saloon
keeper can pay a license of $500 and
then move as long as he does not get
into a town containing over 500 peo-
pie. This system enables him to fol-
low construction camps and other
small bodies of men, and 1t is claim
ed that this practice has proved in
furious. In the new bill the whole
sale license remains at $4,000, as un-
der the present law.

They lack faith in the forblddlng

for the man who wins is so great that
the struggle is overshadowed.

PENDLETON SCHOOL SPIRIT.

The uniformly high standing which
the boys of the Pendleton high school
teams achieved in the different school
events in the inland empire, is one of
the highest tributes that can be paid
to the excellent school spirit of the
city.
The high school Is in better working
order today than it has ever been be-
fore, without disparaglng the efforts
of those instructors who have been
here before. The school is larger,
better organized, more active and
alert and has better school spirit in
every way.
This increased efficiency is due to
the splendid guidance of City Super
intendent Landers, Principal Hamp-
ton and the high school instructors.
There is a fine cooperation through
out the school and the life and vim
injected into the high school classes
by Principal Hampton, who is in
closer touch with these classes than
any other, are assets which are be-
yond estimate.

FOR AN ASTER SHOW.

One of the most pleasant and unique
features which could be introduced
into the district fair program next fal
would be an aster day or aster carni.
val.
Let the fair management offer
prizes OF asters and let them set aside
a day for the tster carnival and ther
let every home owner in the city
plant for that day.
1t can be made a beautiful feature
with but little work. Asters will grow
profusely everywhere with but little
care or cultivation and they make a
delightful dream Of color when mass
ed together or hung in decoration
about a room.
Such features as this must be added
to make the fair attractive. People
tire Of the monotonous display of
fruits and vegetables no matter how
, creditable. There must be some di-
version, something out of the ordinary
&c fix the memory of the fair in peo-
PIES minds.
The fair is rapidly attaining to per-
lection with each succeeding year and
it seems that the management is do
ing everything possible to induce peo-
pie to contribute to it and take part
in it.
But the esthetic side of the human
animal must be cultivated as we'll as
the prosaic, practical side. Aster
shows, palm gardens, music, art-the
idealistic and poetlcal must be ex-
hibited and encouraged as we'll as the
wheat exhibit, the poultry display, the
horses, jacks, goats and hogs.

Monday, tell pretty large rattle
snake story, but its truth is vouched
for by well-known residents Of the
vicinity, says the Eugene Guard. They
say that Al. rattlers, mostly good slz-
ed ones, have been killed in a den
discovered on the Jerry Pipes place
recently. The killing occurred on sew
eral different days when the weather
was warm and bright and the snakes
came out of their den to take a sun
bath. On Sunday last, IA were kill
ed. Up to the time this den was To-
Gated and watched no one in the vi
cinity had any idea that there were
any rattlesnakes to speak of in the
neighborhood' and the large number
killed to date has occasioned much
surprise. The skins, rattles and oil
Of the snakes are taken care of and
preserved for various uses.

SENATOR IN 1912.

The Oregon Daily Journal says that
Senator c. w. Fulton will succeed
Jonathan Bourne in the election OF
United States senator in 1912.
Not unless he changes his position
on the popular election Of senator's,
brother. The republicans of Oregon
have taken advanced ground on this
subject and they will not recede. No
matter how able or vigorous or skill
ful a candidate may be hereafter, he
must have the popular election of
United States senators at heart before
the people will elect him.
The contest in the primary election
just past proved conclusively that the
republican party of oregon is abso-
lutely committed to the popular cleo
ton of senators. Senator Fulton was
stronger this spring with the people
than he can ever hope to be again,
and he was deefated at the polls by a
decisive vote. He will be showed
under deeper than ever in 1912-un-
less he comes out openly and fearless
ly for the statement No. pledge and
the popular election of senators.
No senator opposed to the popular
election of senator's will ever be elect
ed in Oregon again. The elimination
of the senatorial deadlocks and the
simple process of ratifying the peo-
Pies choice for senator by the legis-
lature have given the taxpayers a
taste Of the popular election of United
States senators and 1t is safe pre-
diction to make, to say that no sena-
torial fight will ever engage the leg
islature of the state of Oregon again.

THE BRAVEST MAN.

James Creelman, the well-known
war correspondent, who is on record
over his own signature as having pro-
voked the war between the United
States and Spain, gives this descrip-
tion of the bravest man he ever saw:
at was during the siege of Port
Arthur" says Mr.. Creelman. "On
the edge of one of the parapets, his
feet hanging over the edge, sat man
making a sketch OF the scene. From
the Japanese ships in the offing there
came continuous stream Of scream
ing death-delivering shells. But the
man sketched on unmoved. MauseI
bullets, with their peculiar snake-like
hiss, flew over and beside him. In
all this noise and imminent death the
man contiued his work, completely
absorbed in it.
FINALLY there came from within the
fortification a Russian officer of gi-
gantic size. He stood long beside the
man who was drawing and watched
the pencil carefully filling in the
graphic lines. The shells from the
ships when they struck the masonry
stirred up a cloud of mortar dust, and
as they exploded threw chunks Of
broken stone in every direction. The
officers uniform was covered with the
mortar dust. and his fatigue cap had
been knocked awry by a Mauser bull
let. l have never seen a braver man.
At last he said. in excellent English
and speaking with an aristocratic
drawl, 81 say, Creelman. aren't you
ever going to finish that sketch? -

THE MARVEL OF THE DESERT.

An old pioneer who settled in
Umatilla county 35 years ago and
after a residence of a few years went
to California. to reside came back this
spring to look over the scene Of his
early labors here.
He could scarcely believe that the
sagebrush land which he despised at
that time and which was worth less
than nothing is now selling at from
800 to $500 per acre and is in de-
mand at those prices.
He could scarcely believe that
where once he rode after stock on a
comparatively wilderness in the west
end Of Umatilla county are now to
be found orchards, alfalfa fields. gar
dens, berry patches, all producing
abundantly.
Yet this transformation has taken
place. The desert has been convert
ed into productive land. More Of the
same kind Of desert Is yet to be
brought under cultivation. There is
not foot Of land In the west end Of
the county which cannot be made pro-
ductive, even above the irrigating
bitches, by proper methods Of farm
ing.
The marvel Of the desert has not
yet begun. 1t takes time to change
the face of the wilderness, especially
where people are prejudlced against
the wilderness and doubt the ability
Of the desert to produce crops.
