WHO JACK ROBINSON WAS.

Jack Robinson has long been a ia
vorte synonym for rapidity of speech
or action, but possibly few people who
use the phrase are aware that Jack
Robinson was a real, live person.
"As a politician" says Lady Dor
othy Nevill in her "Reminiscences
John Robinson was a great favorlte
with George III. His political career
was long, for he was a member for
Harwich during 2G years, being on one
occasion bitterly attacked by Sheri-
dan, who, denouncing bribery and its
instigators, replied to the cries Of
Name! Name' by pointing to Rob-
inson on the treasury bench, exclalm-
ing at the same time, Yes, / could
name him as soon as / could say Jack
Robinson and thus originated the
saying still current at the present
day."-Gentlewoman.

Although such transportation seems
somewhat slow in comparison with
the possibilities Of handling plants,
yet they prosecute their task very en-
ergetically and the scale of pay rang

is so low as to render such labor far
cheaper than mechanical transport.
Indeed, a complete installation of the
latter was laid down, a cable being
stretched across the gorge over the
site, bringing the stone direct from
the quaries on the hillsldes to the site
ready for setting, but this had to be
abandoned owing to its being far
more expensive than the "nowgunny"

CHINA AND JAPAN.

Some time ago a well known writer
and traveller assembled number o
facts about Japan and China, in orde'
to show the difference between orr
entail and occidental ideas. In his
statements about Japan these were
noticed:
Japan has nearly 100000 900 people
more than half as many as the United
States.
Th word "mikado" signifies some
thing like "the Sacred Gate" or 1.-THE
Sublime Porte"
European dress is worn at all court
functions.
Rice is the common food of the
common people.
Sixteen cents day is good pay for
unsqilled labor in Japan Ten years
ago 1t was six cents.
Japan has very few millionaires and
practically no multi-millionaires.
Toxic is a hundred years older than
st. Petersburg.
The lovely Japanese cherry trees
produce no cherries.
On the japanese stage male actors
play the female roles.
Japanese dead are buried in a
squattng position, chin upon knees.
The japanese people. even the poor
travel much in their own country.
Modern Japanese coins and bank
notes bear legends in English as well
as in Japanese.
or Chinese customs the traveller
writes:
The Chinese points his compass
south instead of north.
In saluting you. he puts on his hat.
Walking with you, he keeps out of
step.
He shakes his own hand instead of
yours
He says east-south instead of south
east.
To he polite he asks you your age
and income.
His women often wear trousers.
while he often wears a gown.
He presents coffns to his friends
as you present cigars or books.

AN IMPENDING DISGRACE.

. II reports are true the machinery
o. the Pendleton wooden mill is to be
sold for a song, for the sum of $4,000,
and the plant is to be moved to
western Oregon.
Are the people of Pendleton and
Umatilla county going to permit this
to be done? If they do this section
Of the state will lose one of the best
industries it has ever had. 1t will
lose an industry that has done much
to advertise this city and county all
over the United States. Pendleton
will lose a splendid payroll.
But the most reprehensible thing
about the whole matter will be the
fact that the mill will be taken from
a place where it logically belongs.
Here should be the home Of the
woolen mill. Eastern Oregon is the
wool growing part of the state. In
western Oregon they raise hops and
catch salmon, but that is not WOO!
bearing country. A real band of
sheep is never seen down there The
wool for the plant to be established
al Gordon Falls will have to be ship
ped there from east of the Cascade
mountains.
But it will be argued that the
voolen mill has always been a white
elephant for its owners-that its
stockholders have never made any
money out Of it. But those who are
familiar with the business know that
the mill can be made to pay. While
they were lessees. c. J. Ferguson and
Jacob Sheuerman, both made money
out of the plant If they made money
while running the plant upon tenn
porary basis. could not permanent
management make the plant a con-
t.nuous success?
The stock argument against keep
ing the mill at this place has been
that power is too expensive. But new
power plants are being developed all
around US and soon there will be an
abundance Of power. The people be-
hind the proposed interurban line
have pledged that they will furnish
electrical power for Pendleton at one
half its present cost.
In view of this fact the old argu-
ment against the wooden mill is

mill to be moved now viii mean that

too familiar in peoples minds for me
to dwell on that time or the tragedy
which was so soon to follow their

kindness of heart, and her extraordi-
nary and unselfish devotion to her
husband made her paragon among
wives. l recall one other remarka-

and whose life was one of sacrifice
to duty and care of others. This was
my sister-in-law, Fanny, Lady Tweed

character I have ever met. Apart
from her brilliant gifts, which made
her one of the most popular and in
fuential political hostesses in Eng

tower of strength to all who came in
contact with her. Indeed, it may be
said with truth that society in gen.

SPREADING TEMPERANCE.

With astonishing rapidity the fight
against the sale of intoxicating liquor
is sweeping over the country, says the
Delineator. In the South, State after
State has enacted laws absolutely
closing all the saloons within its Dor
ders. After January /, 1909, there
will not be legal saloon in Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi or Oklahoma;
North Carolina may also be dry by
that time; half of South Carolina, a
large part of Florida, all but four
cities in Tennessee, and nearly all of
Kentucky are in the same situation.
Virginia, Maryland and Delaware are
moving in the same direction. Ohio
is tending toward State prohibition,
Indiana has taken steps toward it,
and each new election sees more
townships in Illinois shifted to the
dry column" In other States the
struggle is not yet so successful, but
already half the people and two
thirds of the territory of the United
States are embraced in the now rap
idly growing prohibition districts.
In this struggle women have taken
a remarkable part, and they are
reaping a remarkable reward This is
a new form of campaign, and 1t is
different. There has been little or no
hysterical agitation, but rather prosaic
comparison of figures to show how
much better off the dry States are
than the wet And the women, to
whom prohibition means infinitely
more than to the men, have furnished
what excitement was necessary, by
1ocking about the polls serving tenn
perance drinks to the voters, and en-
deavoring to convince them that a
vote against the saloon is vote for
the home, and, perhaps, most of all,

The Sucker State.

Illinois has been called the Suck

natives are known as Suckers. A
dozen reasons or excuses have been
given for this strange designation,
but the only satisfactory one was
told me the other day by grandson
Of Ninian Edwards. The aearly
pioneers adopted many Indian habits.
They even strapped their babies to
boards like papooses. After they be-
gan to raise hogs the mother would
leave her little ray of sunshine alone
in the cabin for hours; but to allie
viate his solitude she gave him a
large piece of raw pork to suck, first
tying it to his foot by string, so
