GOVERNMENT BUYS A RANCH.

A deal for the purchase by the fed
eral government OF the 100O-acre
Evans cattle ranch on the Blackroot
river needed as a part of a site for
a big storage reservoir, has been
closed with satisfaction to all parties
concerned, according to L. L. Evans
owner of the ranch, who was in the
city yesterday, says the Pocatello
Tribune.
The price has not been made pub
lie, but Mr. Evans is authority for
the statement that while the average
figure being paid for ranches alons
the Blackfoot by the government
$40 per acre-did not apply in his
case, still the total sum realized from
the sale of his land was eminently
satisfactory, not only to himself, but
to Special Agent Martin, who nego-
tiated the deal.
Mr.. Evans says that only few
ranch owners on the site of the pro-
posed reservoir are holding out, and
that these are expected to come into
line within a week or so. He says
word comes to him from an authori-
tative source that work on the reser-
voir will begin as early in the spring
as the weather will permit

CHINESE DEGRADE WOMEN.

The Chinese have no welcome for
the birth of female child. 1t never
receives the care and attention ac-
corded to the male progeny. As It
grows up, it is continually taught that
1t is an inferior creature. Etiquette
demands of it perfect servility and
self-renunciation, when in the pres
ence of the male sex.
A mans 4Oth birthday Is hailed
with big demonstrations in China. On
the occasion of such a demonstration
on the 40th birthday of the head of
an American family living there, the
wife and little girls are required to
retire, according to custom. They
slip quietly away upstairs. Soon the
merry-making eating and drinking
are at their height. The head men Of
the town are there. The biggest Of
ficial sends his servant up to the wife
with his respects. She answers ac-
cording to requirements, ~ am a wo-
man. | am not worthy" which mes
sage the servant carries back. Then
another of the towns consequential
men send their servants up to her
with respects. Each time she is to
return the compliments paid her with
the answer II am a woman; I am not
worthy" She not only bears this hu-
initiation, but she gets no part of the
feast, either.-Montana News

UNJUST TO MCOURT.

The Portland Telegram in a news
item reviewing the appointment of
John McCourt of this city to the po-
stion of United States district attor-
ney for oregon, says:
Had the Oregon delegation not
suddenly agreed on a successor to
Bristol before he began directing the
grand jury there would have been
some exciting times in eastern Ore
gon. 1t is understood that Bristol had
contemplated a thorough investiga-
ton of some land matters in that
section through the agency of the
grand jury, but the action of the
delegation in selecting McCourt at this
time will prevent the examination
which Bristol is suspected of having
In mind"
Everybody who knows John Nc
Court knows that this is an unjust and
unwarranted slur and It is impossible
to conceive why it should have been
uttered. If there is need for an in
vestigation of land frauds in eastern
Oregon, John McCourt will make such
an investigation without fear or IA
vor.
He is noted for his impartiality and
.fearlessness and he has no friend so
intimate that he may escape just pun
ishment for wrongdoing and no enc
my who expects anything but absolute
justice at his hands.
If there is a clean, fearless attor-
ney in Oregon, John McCourt is that
man. He has the confidence os the
people of eastern Oregon who know
him well and there is no ground upon
which the Telegram could honestly
make the assertion that his appoint
ment would stop land Investigations in
this or any other section of the state.
The appointment came to Mr.. Nc
Court in a way in which any man
might well be proud of it, 1t came
unsolicited after the delegation had
thoroughly discussed a half dozen
other available candidates and it came
solely because of genuine merit and
not as the result of political COM
promise or deal of any kind or char
acter.

of Albany county are facing a serious
shortage, not Of range as in past
years, but of feed. The high grade OF
sheep being raised demands that the
flocks be given better care in the
winter and feeding has become i'm
perative. The big sheepman with his
business plans in full effect. and
with wide and growing interests, feels
that he cannot now stop to till the
soil. but he will extend the welcom-
ing hand to anyone else who will do
1t.
The movement for the production
of forage and other crops without ir-
rigation interests these stckmen and
they are looking forward 10 the ad-
vent of the dry farmer as the solu-
ton of many of their difficulties. =
There is range enough, they say,
and the dry farmer can go into the
sheep business himself is he under
stands it, but he will never have any
difficulty in disposing of his crop.
The institutes are doing a vast
amount of good. is the opinion of DR..
Cooke, who bserved the interest that
was given to other branches of the
science of ranching and farming.

ONE SOLDIER DEAD.

A fair young mother calmly read,
While one hand rocked the cradle.
bed
Wherein her first-born slept away
The twilight OF a summer day,
She carelessly the paper turned
Till --latest War News" she discern
ed;
"our loss was small" dispatches
said
"A skirmish. and one soldier dead"
They troubled not to give his name,
or cen the troop from which he
came;
For who. rejoicing in success,
Cares If there. be one private less?
Only a soldier dying there,
With blood upon his sunny hair,
With no kind friend to raise his head
or treasure the last words he said.
O happy mother, do you know
That not so many years ago
That soldier was a baby, too,
With face as sweet and eyes as blue
AS those within yon cradle there?
And knew a mothers tender care,
Who now must sit alone and weep,
Because ne wakes not from his sleep?
And other thousands also said:
"Only a private soldier dead
Without a passing thought that he
Might one of natures mobiles be,
Or that the words that line contained
Would wreck a life that yet remained.
His mother waits for him in vain,
For he. her only child, is slain.

OREGON LAW Is LAME.

Under the Oregon statutes it is i'm
possible for a family to recover dam
ages from a saloonkeeper who sells
a habitual drunkard whiskey Which
causes personal injury to the drunk
ard or which deprives the family of
his money and labor.
1t seems that this is lame place
in the Oregon law and the next legis-
lature should remedy it. If families
could recover damages for loss of
time, labor and money it would have
a tendency to stop the sale of liquor
to habtual drunkards.
Numerous cases are known in this
county where families have been de-
prived Of support solely through the
persistence of saloons in selling liquor
to drunken husbands. The wives and
children have been caused to suffer
through this crime and yet the Ore
gon law does not recompense them.
Aggravated cases of this kind can
be recalled by the score and it seems
a shame that the helpless families
have no recourse. Let US remedy this
law at the next session. Let the sa-
loon men, themselves, ask for a law
giving families damages. This Will
help to hold back the prohibition
wave.

WAR on ANARCHY.

The war on anarchy is coming to
cur doors, when the Grand Army OF
the Republic post at North Yakima
passes resolutions to suppress it.
1t is often said that anarchy is con-
fined wholly to the large cities, but
let us see II this is so, Yesterday in
the circuit court at Caldwell Harry
Orchard stood up brazenly, without
an apparent pang of remorse, and
pleaded guilty to killing Ex-Governor
Frank Steunenberg of Idaho, with a
dynamite bomb.
Today the widowed wife of ex-
Sheriff Harvey X. Brown sits in her
home at Baker City and wonders who
could have been so dastardly as to
have blown her husband into eterni-
ty at his own gate.
This is getting pretty close to home,
so the censure of anarchy at North
Yakima, Pendleton, Baker City; Boise
City and everywhere else in the west,
as we'll as in the east, is timely and
pertinent.
How to begin, where to begin, when
to begin to stamp out this terrible
creed of murder has baffled the
American public. But the time is
drawing near when fearful measures
will be necessary to protect public
men from its destructive arm.
In this free country it seems un-
reasonable to believe that the mur-
derous propaganda of Russia could
thrive. There is no need for it. There
is no shadow of excuse for it except
in the diseased minds of those who
have brought their hatred into this
country from abroad.

BOURNE GAINS STRENGTH.

When Jonathan Bourne became
candidate for the United States sem
ate two years ago, the East Oregon
ian. with many other newspapers, and
with thousands Of other voters, op-
posed him, not because of the prln-
ciple of popular election Of United
States senators which he espoused at
that time, but because of his former
political record in oregon.
But Senator Bourne pursued his
forward course, unbaffled and una
fraid. and won his spurs by his own
personal effort, and by the absolute
Justice Of the principle which he ad-
vocated.
Today Senator Bourne is stronger
in oregon than ever before. He has
not wavered from his position on the
popular election Of United States SEN
dLDIks ne Hdo ptIolSANHlIJ oNfCNoNSN
and still advocates that principle In
spite Of the organized opposition from
his party and he is going to be tre-
mendous factor in oregon politics in
future.
He grasped the opportunity of a
lifetime and rode into place and pow
er upon 1t and ne Is strengthening
that place every day by his continued
advocacy Of popular government.
Other prominent oregon republi-
cans, far more capable, far more elo-
quent, far more popular than Jona-
than Bourne, missed that same op-
portunity to forever bind the people
to them and will go down in the his
tory OF the state as mere machine
politicians, having little compensating
virtue, outside Of a clean personality.

Bidding the Soul to repose in this

HER DEAR COMPELLING EYES.

Her beauty pleased; but. pleasing,

Like a mirage upon a flowered

A moment there, a moment gone,
Nor left sense of joy or pain.
Her grace commanded instant court,
As if to some fair alien queen;
But bended knee and fitting speech
Were but an acted. proper scene.
But warm as sunlight, tense as steel
And leal as legions when they rise,
Ny being thrilled and leaped in love
Beneath her dear compelling eyes.

BUILD A CHURCH AT NIGHT.
Work of a Congregation That Could
Not Afford to Pay for Labor.

Kansas City.-With the light from
a dozen lanterns helping them to
see where to- place joists and how
to nail on weatherboards, ten men,
bers of the Yecker Avenue Baptist
church worked until after II o'clock
at night on their new church building.
The Yecker Avenue Baptist church
was organized about three years ago.
Until recently the congregation wor-
SHIPPED in a small frame building. AID.
ditions to the congregation made a
larger building necessary, and it was
decided to build a church.
But the congregation was not a
wealthy one. and the members felt
that they could not give money enough
for a new building. Then Rev. VIII
liam L. Harms, pastor of the church,
had an idea.
we can afford to buy material for
a new building, and each one of us
a give a little Of his time in work."
Mr.. Harms said. The congregation
agreed and the material was bought.
Every day and many nights, under
the direction of some of the members
OF the congregation who are carpen.
tiers, the work goes on. Those who
cannot work by day give a little of
their time at night, and the women Of
the church have coffee ready for the
men when the work is over.

CARRIES HIS OWN TOMBSTONE
Man Nearly scares Undertaker's Clerk
Out of His Wits.

Minneapolis. Minn.-With a tomb
stone carried laboriously under his
arm, his name and date of burial in
scr1bed upon it, a man who said his
name was John Morton stormily en-
tered the undertaking room of Green
& Morris, 507 South Fourth street.
Minneapolis, and demanded:
DO I look like I'm dead?"
John Wright, a clerk in the Office,
admitted that the tombstone carrier
seemed very much alive, rejecting
that the cumbersome tombstone which
he carried must have weighed at least
100 pounds.
We'll, then, what did you bury me
and put this ~gravestone over me for?"
half shouted the man, with a strange
CLEAN in his eyes. "You people
thought you'd bury me alive, didn't
you? But l fooled you. And so I'm
going to kill you with this thing Of
evil"
With that the man, apparently in
sane. jumped threateningly at Wright,
who was out of the office in a trice
and ran to police headquarters without
turning his head to see if the man was
pursuing. He told his story to the
police and an officer was sent with
him.. But the man and his tombstone
were nowhere to be seen when he re-
turned to the Office.
