BOOSTING WOOL SALES.

Everybody talking wool auction
sales since the Helena meeting. SAYS
the American Sheep Breeder. AL
ready gossip is abroad that western
men are behind a big wool auction
sale scheme for Omaha. One Of the
officials of the largest woolgrowers'
association in the country hints that
a warehouse for 10000, 900 pounds of
wool is being arranged for by Omaha
reople and that auction sales are to
be held at that point.
Chicago and eastern wool houses
declare that Omaha is no place for
wool auction sales" and insist that II
the scheme is launched this year il
viii fall flat, that under present con-
ditions the last thing in the world to
succeed this year is an auction sale of
wool.
Mr.. Primrose, Philadelphia. the
woolman who addressed the National
Woolgrowers on the subject, insists
that New York is the proper place tor
the holding Of these sales.
Anyway. the wool auction sale
proposition is before the public and
1t is not unlikely that permanent
sales will be established somewhere
in the United States sooner or later.

THE POWER OF SUGGESTION.

Two thousand New York girls nave
just demonstrated beyond any doubt
the power of mental suggestion.
They have put it into execution in a
matter and in a manner in which
there can be no question and now
they believe in it.
The school board of New York had
been besieged by the people to erect
a new high school building, the
Washington Irving school, at cost Of
100000. The board was opposed to
the erection of this building and had
said so.
But the board had not reckoned
with 1000 high school students. The
students sent in a petition for the
building and then on the day set for
the consideration Of the matter by
the board, school was dismissed for
two hours and every student repeated
over mentally. Appropriate the
money and give US the school," while
the board was in session.
The power of suggestion won the
day. The board, which had been
adverse to the proposition, decided to
erect the school and although not a
taxpayer attended the meeting or
urged the appropriation, the boards
stand in the matter was completely
reversed by the mental messages of
these 1000 students.
Now, where will the power of sug-
gestion end? When people shall unite
in a mental siege, in an assault of
psychic power what shall they not
accomplish? Where minds are set at
work upon the achievement Of GER
tain end, is there any power which
can Withstand this onslaught?
If the intellect is kept upon high
plane, If the base and morbid and
the vicious tendencies are weeded out
and the mind is kept clear and pure
and powerful. is there any power on
earth which can Withstand its potent
Influences, where joined together for
good?
The possibilities are startling. The
scope Of this new human agency is
The age Of mental energy |
is just now dawning. And it is to be
the most glorious age known to man
kind.

MIR. GEER'S HARMONY"

The Pilot Rock Record says of Mr..
Geer, his peculiar brand of "har-
mony'' and his insatiate thirst for Of
flee:
Mr.. Geer, editor of the Pendleton
Tribune, wants harmony. He is op-
posed to all reference to renegade
republicans; he does not want to see
old sores ripped open; he prefers to
let bygones be bygones.
Now the fact is the republican
party was in fairly good shape in
eastern oregon until Mr.. Geer packed
his grip and struck out for new
worlds to conquer, taking up his resi-
dence in Pendleton.
He himself, is the one disturbing
element in the republican party.
Eastern oregon is represented in
congress by one of its best citizens. So
far as we know everybody Is well
satisfied with Mr.. Ellis and there was
no thought Of trying to replace him.
But before Mr. Ellis had entered
upon his duties as a representative in
congress from this state, after his
election two years ago, and before
given opportunity to say or do any
thing in favor or against the district
he represents, he was confronted with
the information that he was to be
opposed for reelection by recent
arrival to his home town who invest
ed in a newspaper ostensibly to sing
his own praises and to explain away
the best he could some of the ugly
charges he very well knew would be
made against him, from that $4,000
transaction, dating back to mis- elec-
ton as governor, down to his reasons
for coming to Pendleton.
While he may have long harbored
the ambition to grow up with the
country in eastern Oregon 1t would
have looked much better had he been
able to allow one election to come
and go without injecting his imposing
personality into. It, With a man of
his consuming thirst for office there
was no such hope.

FREE PRESS-AND ANARCHY.

A great howl has been sent up by
certain class of newspapers over the
alleged censorship Of the press con-
tained in the provisions OF a bill re-
Gently introduced in the senate of the
United States by Senator Penrose.
This bill gives the postmaster gem
eral power to forbid the passage
through the mail of any newspaper
which is inflammatory, anarchistic or
vicious in its tendencies.
No legitimate newspaper can object
to these. provisions. The law would
not bar a solitary legitimate paper
the privileges Of the mails. Not one
honorable and right-minded editor
would be effected by the law and
those who would be effected should
have no influence in shaping the ac-
ton OF congress, anyway.
Anarchy is becoming rampant, es-
pecially in the large cities of the east,
and something must be done to check
it. The first decisive step to be taken,
must be to stop the spread of anar-
chistio dictrine by means of fire.
brand newspapers. Free speech does
not mean that the government will
stand still and be stabbed to the heart
by unreasoning malcontents; it does
not mean that the postoffice depart
ment shall be abused by vicious and
murderous societies which have for
their creed the assassination of every
man who may seem Objectionable to
the whims of society.
Every right-minded newspaper
man will welcome a law which will
weed out the criminals from the
journalistic profession, just as every
honest banker or merchant or pro-
fessional man would welcome the
punishment of a criminal who parad-
ed under the cloak of any of these re-
spectacle branches of activity.

The Sign of the Black Horse---
An Indian Legend


The Westerner of Seattle publishes
the following Indian legent of the
grand canyon of the Colorado, which
the East oregonian gives its read
ers:
The Colorado river is one of the
most picturesque streams of the
world. 1t cuts channel through the
deserts of Utah and Arizona and links
the Rocky mountains with the Gulf
of California.
The noted Grand Canyon, extend
ing for 200 miles, makes up one of
the wonders of the earth. It's walls
hang in almost perpendicular cliffs
for 1000 or more feet and guard the
secret story of how that great river
formed its channel and dug the deep
trench through the mountain plat
eau. But the inspiring scenery and
deafening roar OF the cataracts do not
fill all the pages Of wonderment.
Along the shores, in sheltered
hooks, are hieroglyphics of former
race of people. Some marks contain
the pictures of kings and queens, 9TH
ers show hunters with bows and ar
rows while many depict the warriors
of olden times, combating with foes.
In the canyon of Moab valley, In
southern Utah, there rises high shell
tered wall overshadowing a solitary
spot where the river is often fordable
Beneath the shelving summit and
far enough below the top to insure
protection is carved the form of a
black horse. Every feature of the an
imal stands out in distinct marks. 1t
can be seen for many hundred yards
by travellers following the creek down
from the high La Sale mountains.
The storms Of time have not eff
faced the strange signal. 1t Is too
many hundred feet above the water
to be washed away and too far below
the summit to permit of any close in
vestigation 1t has been a mark of
ages. The Indians state that II was
placed there many years ago for the
purpose of giving directions in cross
ing the river.
Hundreds Of years ago, say the leg
ends, the Utes were being driven north
