IS that Montgomery Is en- tlrsly free of what Is known as smali- { T said entirely free, and mean just that. The last case was dismissed from the pest house today and the place Is being thoroughly funligated. ,s

The news was so astounding to me that I be- came suspicious. But my persopal in- vestigations and questions to the doc- tors of the city have Treasured me that Montgomery Is entirely free of the pest: even among the blacks.
 Now let me tell you something in- terestiDg There hasn't been a single case of genuine smaitpox in Montgom- cry within forty years. There have been severe cases of so-called small pox, but the physician will tell you that it was simply yafioloid in a bad form.

T quite agree with an oponion re- cently expressed about theatre ticket scaipers." said q business man. Ticket speculation of this kind comes in for greater odium than other varieties of speculation.

 "Specula ation is speculation wherever found. Yet it seems that the larger the practice the more nearly 1t comes within the lines of approval by the critics. Suppose that the purchaser of theatre tickets on a rather wholesale plan n1isealcufates tile popularity of play. He may find fdtzlculty ,ln diss posing of his holdings. ss He hustles about. to correct his mistake and at least come out of the venture even. But the opinion of theatre goers in that city may be adverse to the coming show and he cannot sell his tickets at the price called for. Such q state of demand might be said to be Illustrated by a two-thirds filled house. There would be the speculator with Q hand full of tickets that he would have to sell below cost.

OREGON's PRISON PAPER.

The East Oregonlan enjoys each
month the visit OF LEND a Hand"
monthly publication issued by the
convicts Of the Oregon state peniten-
tiary. This little magazine is one OF
the most attractive and interesting
that comes to the East Oregonian's
desk. not for its literary standards,
nor for the morbid curiosity which a
prison paper may excite, but for the
cheerful spirit Of optimism and hope
fulness, the spirit of higher ideals
and nobler sentiments, which per-
wade its columns.
Every sentence breathes hope that
the convict may become better man;
every page pleads with the public to
give him a chance to live right; every
thought pleads for charity and toler-
ance and good will toward the unfor-
tunates who, through passion, weak
ness. heredity or hatred have become
outcasts.

PROBLEM OF THE INDIVIDUAL.

The problem of the individual is 70
develop himself for the good of the
Whole. What good does it do me to
be we'll cultured, we'll dressed, well
housed, with a beautiful garden about
me. II my neighbors tear up my flow
ers, throw mud and rocks at my house
rand my clothes, and meet my high
and mighty mental stores with ribald-
ry? OF myself l can do nothing, be
nothing. only by spreading my cul-
ture and my prosperity to those about
me can I by any possible chance be
allowed to enjoy them. l and others
like me can band ourselves as a COM
munity and teach others to appreciate
and emulate what we appreciate, The
incorrigibles we can compel to let Us
, alone.
Only by combining for the best good
of all can we save ourselves or our
possessions from destruction by those
who don't yet know enough to appre-
ciate or combine.
This means that individual rights
and state rights are merely rights to
serve the whole.
1t means progress through combi-
nation.
1t means salvation through combi-
nation.
1t means that individual selfishness
and state selfishness eventuate alike

the Whole.-Elizabeth Towne in July

If you'll only up and DO,

so still
Comes the sobbing note of the whip
poorwill
The moon that rises $50 cold and
white
Stares at the world with a look of
fright,
And the trees in the shadow toss and
When you're trudging the weary way
alonel
Another time, what a friendly note
Has the whippoorwill with the tire
less throat,
The moon has a jolly face and round
As jolly a face as could be found
And the sigh of the wood is a tran
quill song
If some one with you is trudging
along.
Exchange.

sion can have any jurisdiction over
interstate traffic, but such body can
go to the national commission and pre-
sent in legal form the complaints of the
citizens of Idaho and obtain there a
recognition which the lack of funds and
of time prevent the Individual from OBJ
tanning for himself.
1--WE are not seeking to harass the
railroads or to do them any injustice.
Their rights are as deserving of pro-
lection and thoughtful consideration as
those of the meanest citizen, but we
demand justice between all parties and
an impartial body of experienced men
to settle such difficulties as may arise. :"
There is justice and reason in the
statements made in the circular letter
from the Boise commercial bodies. A
railroad commission is not to antagon-
ize railway companies, but is an inter-
mediary for justice between the COM
panies and the people who transact
business with them. A railroad commits
sion is of service to both.
Mining News has no knowledge of
any instance where gross injustice has
been done, this section of country being
so far from railroad. However, one
can see where injustice might be done,
when two great railroads are practically
the only common-carrier in the state.
Gov. Gooding in his special message to
the legislature two years ago, cited in
stances and gave considerable of data.

and the men who are to make laws for
Idaho this winter to inform themselves

The Return of San Francisco

A late number of Sunset Magazine
has a very entertaining and instructive
article on, 1.-THE Return of San Fran
CISCO" The article is illustrated with
views of streets, buildings and parks,
etc, and proves conclusively that the
great city down there at the Golden
Gate that grew and prospered for half
a century, and was literally destroyed
in a few short hours, has really re-
turned. Great buildings have sprung
up in places where small structures
stood before the fire; everything is on
a grander and broader scale, and the
city just now is pulsating with life that
it never knew before. 1t is building
and planning as no other city Of mod
ern times ever had opportunity 10 build
and plan.
San Francisco has a charm in some
ways that no other city IN the world
has. IL has played an important part
Ia The history of the west. San Fran
cisco was the Mecca for the first people
who settled on the Pacific coast, and
for years il was the extreme frontier

way stations connecting the west with
civilization, east Of the two great riy-
