AS TO THE RAID.

The u men now charged in the
justice court with breaking the pro-
hibition law haven't anybody in the
world to blame but themselves. If
they should be indicted by the grand
jury for every single glass of Illicit
liquor they have sold they could make
no complaint.
When prohibition was adopted by
the county the saloon business was
officially abolished. Prior to that
time it was a lawful calling and the
saloon men were accorded belllger-
ency rights in the fight that was on.
But the situation changed July /. The
liquor forces were beaten in this
county by an overwhelming majority.
1t was then time for the saloon men
to quit. When they refused to do so
they made themselves lawbreakers
and they knew it.
As sworn officers of the law the
district attorney. the sheriff, the JUS
tice and the constable have but one
course TO take. The law must be en-
forced like any other statute, The
people Of Umatilla county expect
them to enforce the prohibition law
with the same honesty and the same
vigor they do other regulations of
the criminal code. If the sheriff or
any one else fails to do so he is neg
ligent in his duty and he is taking
position he cannot hold.
There are two general ways in
which such a statute as the prohibit
ton law may be enforced. The Of
ficers may be ever on the alert for
a violation and make an arrest when
ever they can find grounds for one.
The other method is to allow the law
TO be broken for time and then by
means Of a widespread net catch all
offenders at one fell swoop. This
method was elected by District At
torney Phelps and the net is now be-
ing drawn in. The results will be
known next week and at that time
the relative merits of his plan Of ac-
ton may be more intelligently dis
cussed.

IMPROVING NATURE.

For the sake Of facilitating com
merce. men are altering the face of
the world. Years ago the Dutch
drove back the sea by means Of
dykes. The Panama canal will divide
the American continent into two
Islands. Asia and Africa have al
ready been cut in twain. The United
states. by means Of river and harbor
improvements, is now making sea-
ports Of cities so far inland as to be
beyond the sound Of the oceans roar.
There may be a contradiction in
terms in the phrase finland Seaports'
but IN these days Of great enterprises,
not only projected but accomplished,
the inland city may become seaport
through the improvement Of the in
land waterway, as ManchestS Eng
land, ala and progressed most solidF
and wonderfully by the canalization
Of the Mersy. The subject is made
prominent in the United states by the
project by which it is sought to make
a seaport Of the city Of Newark, y.
J.. and a seaport Of the city Of
Client. IN Belgium. In discussing the
subject the New York Tribune Of re-
cent date. well said that while New
ark. as an island city would doubt
less continue to grow relying on rail-
ways for transportation TO the nearest
seaport. it would be Of decidedly
greater advantage to have ocean
steamers "come right up to its own
docks" and that It would pay to buili
the canal "for the sake Of the future
which Is assured to Newark and
which the construction Of the canal
and the appurtenant docks would
greatly promote"
According to the report Of Consul
w p. Atwell, stationed at Ghent. Bel
gium. the contract for widering and
deepening the Terneuzen canal has
been signed by the Belgian and the
Netherlands authorities. the canal be-
ing 1OIk miles on the Belgian and

MEXICAN LAWSUIT
LASTS FOR $40 YEARS.

A final settlement has just been
made in a lawsuit which has been
pending in the courts of the state of
Oaxaca, Mexico, for $40 years. The
DISPUTE arose between the local au-
thoritles of the towns of Yodocome
and Num- over the question OF the
legal boundary line between the two
villages.
Both towns held titles to the same
land the conflicting grants being
made by the colonial government The
titles held by private parties were al
so involved, and each town brought
suit against the other for the land
claimed to be Justly due ii.
The suit dragging along for the
first 100 years one legal step after
another being taken by the contend
ne towns. Another century passed.
and then another, and still the suit
was undecided. During all this time
the people OF the respective towns
were arrayed against each other i'm
bitter enmity. and many have been
the armed conflicts that have taken
place between the opposing factions,
The father of President Porfrio
Diaz was a native of Yodocome and
stood high I'm the little country COM
munity because of his mental ability.
He took an active interest in the
long-pending suit, and during his life
time made every effort to get a final
decision of the case. He was unsuc-
cessful and the years dragged by.
President Diaz gave the matter his
personal attention not long ago. and
the ancient records relating to the
land grants and the conflicting boun-
Diary We're carefully examined. The
matter was then laid before the peo-
pie of the two towns, and after many
conferences a settlement of the case
was reached and the suit in court was
formally dismissed. 1t is said TO have
held a place upon the court docket
longer than any suit in the worlds
history.
The new boundary line between
the two towns is to be marked by the
erection of stone monuments. \
great celebration to be held by the
people of Yodocome and Num- to
commemorate the settlement of the
dispute is ODE called the Feast of
Peace"

\ MANS MOST CRITICAL HOUR.

A business man not long ago ex-
pcrienced acute Indigestion, followed
by fainting fits, which so racked his
nervous system that he became prac-
tlcally incapacitated for attending to
his affairs. He believed that he lived
a careful life and sought a physicion's
advice. The physician prescribed no
medicine, but said
TRY this little rule: Absolutely
stop work a half hour before each
meal. and don't resume work until a
half hour after each meal, and see
what happens"
The man did, and within three
weeks he was well and has kept well
ever since.
Naturally" said another physi-
clan when told Of the experiment.
"Those two half-hours are the most
critical in a business mans day"

HEAT IN FLORIDA.

It must be awfully hot in Florida.
Read these scorching lines by the
jacksonville Times-Union poet:
IT'S too hot to work; to hot to
play;
IT'S too hot to sing; or hardly to
pray;
It's too hot to eat! and too hot to
drink;
It's too hot to talk; or even to
think;
It's too hot to live, we can't ask to
die,
It's too hot to laugh, and too hot to
cry;
It's too hot to read. and too hot to
write,
IT'S too hot to sleep in our beds at

Obituary..

W. II. Walker was born IN Crit
tenden County KY, Sept. Is, 1899;
died Jan. II, 1905, aged IS years
and four months. In his early days
he had fairly good opportunities for
a young man of that day, and by
dnt Of earnest efforts he attained
good education. He began to put
his fund Of knowledge to a proper
use and soon commenced to teach
school. One Of his first schools was
at Dogwood in Caldwell Co.
This community was the home OF
the Maxwells, Wiggintons, and 9TH
ers of the best known families of
Caldwell county. In his associations
during that school he was attracted
by the noble qualities Of Miss Mary
Bell maxwell. In 1866 he and Miss
Maxwell we're married. To them
was born four children, only one Of
whom is living. His first wife lived
to bless his life and grace his home
for 22 years. She died June 20,
1855. She was q women universally
loved and respected.
Bro. Walker professed religion and
joined the &. p. Church at Sugar
Grove. In 1870 he was elected as
deacon in that church. At the time
of his election TO the Office of deacon
he was already serving the church
as clerk. He was the efficient clerk
of the church for u years. He was
elected and ordained Ruling Elder in
1879. He has served in that capac-
ity ever since. When he moved to
Marion, one Of his first acts was to
put his membership in the church
here, an example that speaks with
force to many christians of the differ
ent churches who are neglecting this
important duty. He was an elder
in the Marion church and for the
last few years served it as clerk.
The funeral services we've conduct
ed by the Rev. W. T. Oakley and he
was buried in the Cemetery at Sugar
Grove.
Bro. Walker was a bundle of ac-
centricities, yet he had some fine
qualities. He was reading, thought
full man. He was firm in his convic-
tons and tenacious for what he
thought to be right.
He was elected police Judge and
served about two years in that capaci-
ty.
He is gone, let us look at the no
bier traits of his life and try to imi-
tate them. He was man of high
aspirations. Let us aspire to be the
best and noblest possible.

Men Rescued From the Mine.

Ely, New, Jan. 5.-After having
been entombed forty-six days in the
Alpha shaft of Giroux mine, A. ID.
Bailey, p. j. Brown and Fred Nc
Donald have been rescued. At $50
o'clock last night Bailey was brought
out. Fourteen minutes later Nc
Donald came to the surface, while
ten minutes later Brown was brought
up.
Whistles all over the district blew
loudly while crowds cheered IN the
streets of Ely, and every bell in the
town was ringing. On the morning
Of Dec. 4, Mcdonald, Brown and
Bailey and two Greeks we're working
the bottom OF a three compartment
shaft eighty five feet below the pump
station and | ,0S5 feet below the sur
face. A cavern occurred at 9 O clock.
The cable used to haul the cage from
the third compartment of the shaft
snapped and thousands of tons of
rock, debris and timber fell down
into the shaft. From the bottom of
the compartment in which the men
we're working to the pumping sta
ton, distance Of eighty-fve feet,
a series of rickety ladders offered the
only means of escape. With falling
rocks and and timbers streaming
down upon them the five men strug-
gled up these ladders. Half way up,
the falling timbers knocked the two
Greeks from the ladders, killing
them. Bailey, Mcdonald and Brown
managed to reach the pump station.
Its well timbered roof withstood the
rock and timber that came down the
shaft and offered them shelter and
safety.
Here for the first day after the
cave-in the men crouched while at
intervals they could hear the rocks
and timbers crashing above them.
At first 1t was thought all the men
had persisted but twenty-four hours
after the cavern the three men, who
occupied the pumping station, man
aged to make themselves heard by
tapping upon the six.inch water pipe
that stretched from the pumping
station to the surface. 1t was this
pipe that was the means of saving
the lives Of these three men.
When communication was once
established with the world above the
men had made known the fact that
they were still alive, food and drink
was Immediately lowered through the
pipe. A large supply was sent down
as it was thought that pipe commu-
nication might be cut off before the
rescuing party could reach the i'm
prisoned men, but throughout their
weeks of Imprisonment this pipe has
been in daily use. A portable ;ele-
phone was lowered and the men were
able to talk with the people above.
