in place of the late Dictator Franco.
He agreed to the stap as calcu-
He agreed to the step as calcu-
ion at time when only spark is
needed to inGame the whole coun-
try and hurl it head ong to revolu-
tion.
Nevertheless it is believed that
Franco still will be the 'man of
power" but his official preroga tives,
at least, show no real authority.
At the opening session of the new
counsel, held today, King Manuel IL.
appeared before the ministers and in
voice vibrant with emotion said:
Il am as yet without experience
either in science or politics. l p ace
myself entirely in your hands, need
ing and believing in, your patriotism
and wisdom"
The revolution into which the in
5tigators Of the bloody events of
yesterday had hoped to plunge the
country has MT up to the present
engulfed the nation. Franco, the
dictator and real commander of the
country,s destinies, whom the moral
and physical force of all parties and
powerful interests have not succeed
ed in destroying, remains the tri-
umphant leader, not only uncon-
queIed and unaffrighted, but retain
ed in power with the king, determin-
ed at all hazards and at all costs
to prevent further violence and to
preserve the monarchy.
The only word of indication that
universal order in Portugal had
possibly been broken came from
Oporto in the form of rumor that
a republic had been proclaimed
there, but this was not confirmed
Lisbon, on the contrary, seems sin
cerely prostrated with grief. The
streets are silent and the people
pearing emblems of mourning, pass
slowly and sorrowfully, discussing
the murder of the king and the
crown prince.

President Howard Elliott of the

II. G, Blakely, general Western
freight agent; T. H. Crosswell, prip-
cipal assistant engineer; A. Beamer,
division superintendent; H. c.
French, director, and Harry Perkins
and R. B. Jackson, prominent stock
holders, arrived in the city Saturday
evening, after an inspection of the
Grangevil' e line.
The party was met at the train
by +. w. Kettenbach, D. j. McGil-

DIR. J, b. Norris, E. W. Eaves, A. E.

and were taken to the Commercial
club rooms, where they met many
members of the club and visited for
short time, going from there to
the Elks' club, where they enjoyed
the hospitality of the club for a brief
period.
Discussing railroad development
and construction, President E liott
said:
"The Northern Pacific is going
ahead with all its projected con-
struction, and is pushing to compile
tion as fast as possible all unfinished
work, and in the construction of the
prairie line is an anxious for it's
completion as the people of your
city. We realize the Importance OF
the great country tributary to the
line and see vast possibilities for
the future.
"The most important work on the
new line now is the construction OF
the bridge at Lawyers canyon. With
this done, the road would be opened
into Grangeville within a short
time
/ President Elliott was asked If he
thought that the crusade now being
waged against corporate institutions
in general was having any effect
upon railroad development. He re
piled There is no question about
the matter; It is plain to be seen
that all this talk about the railway
corporations violating the laws Of
the country and watering their stocl
so as to increase their profits, and
the action of the lawmakers in con
tinuing to stir up public opinion
against the roads is undoubtedly
driving investors from the field ant
making it impossible to exploit new
fields and to build new roads.
There is nothing new to say II
regard to the construction of termi
nal facilities in the city at the pres
ent time," said Mr.. Elliott. ''We ar
able to handle all the traffic at the
present with what we have, an.
further extensions here will be
matter for future determination. !"

THE FIRST IRRIGATOR.

The origin and development of ir-
rlgatlon will always be a fascinat ng
study in the arid belt and every fact
bearing upon the subject is greedily
devoured by students OF the subject.
In a series of articles entitled "The
West in the Orient" now running in
Scribner's magazine, Charles NJ. Pep
per discusses the origin OF irrigation
in the following delightful manner:
We may come down to the compar-
atively recent times Of the Biblical
annalist and feel that we know one
Of the great canal builders and irri-
CATION engineers who came after
Joseph and who may have drawn wis
dom from what he had seen Of the
Nile works.
He is a commanding personality in
the ancient world this Nebuchadnez-
ger II, who in the judgment Of mod
ern investigators built the Kerez
Sandih canal, 400 miles long; con-
structed a reservoir 140 miles round,
and 140 feet deep; dug channels con-
Meeting the Euphrates and the Tigris
and extended the use of irrigation
along the southwestern or Arabian
frontier.
Before him sennacherib, the ship
builder, who brought the ships in
pieces by caravan across from Tyre,
had confined the Tigris to its banks
by building an embankment Of bricks,
and had constructed canals or aque-
ducts to bring good water to the Assy-
rian capital.
But the military exploits Of Senna-
cher.b and Nebuchadnezzar live after
them because theirs was an age Of the
human race when deeds Of destruc-
ton by arms were accounted OF great
er Consequence than works Of suste-
nance, such as irrigation.
The Euphrates and the Tigris region
in the goth century awaits the mod
ern prototype Of Nebuchadnezzar, the
digger Of bitches. He will be from
the west but ne will not come until

pleasant winter days than ST. Angus
tine, more exhilerating breezes than
the Tuscan valleys, there is no rea-
son why Umatilla county should not
become the bee and honey producing
district of the Pacific coast.
There is profit in this industry and
it has a beautiful and fascinating sug-
gestion which adds to the interest of
it. Some of the greatest thinkers and
writer's of the present day are bee
keepers. There is inspiration in the
very thought Of It.
With a profusion of bloom and fol-
iage to furnish the sweets, with a mild
climate to permit of long working
season, there Is no reason why Una
tilla county should not ship out car
loads of honey every season. 1t re-
quires but little outlay to start in the
business. The labor is pleasant and
the returns are handsome. It is one
of the really promising openings of
the west and north portions of the
county.

the railway brings him, for irrigation
and railway construction are both es-
sential to the development Of this re-
gion.
Nebuchadnezzar's goth century sue
cessor will have to study the story
which the ruins of the ancient irri-
cation works may tell, because he
will need to draw lessons from them.
or course he will have his own the
ory of how Chaldea's fatal day came,
how the Tigris deserted its ancient
and respectable bed and in changing
its course cut a new channel, gnawed
away the feeder canal and then ate
away the main Nahrawan itself, de-
vouring the protective works and the
attempted repairs faster than they
could be completed; so that one day
a moving mountain of water was roar
ing across the plain. crushing and
engulfing all before it.

BAN ON OBSCENTTY.

There are people who argue that
ihe liquor business is legitimate and
respectable and that it is entitled to
rs much respect and recognition from
the business world as any other in
dHstTy.
Let US see. Did you ever hear Of
grocer or a blacksmith or a baker or
a shoemaker being fined for sending
cut obscene literature to deprave the
minds of the youth?
Did you ever hear of any of these
necessary and legitimate industries be-
ing fined for permitting roulette ana
other forms of robbery in their places
of business? Then you say the saloon
is entitled to as much respect as
these? On what grounds?
OF course it is possible to conduct
orderly, respectable saloons But how
many saloons are such? What are
the associations. the practices Of sa-
looms? Ponder over these questions
and you will come to the conclusion
that about 30 per cent of the devil
thy ih the courts may be traced to their
Influences.
The efforts of District Attorney
Phelps to stop saloon oDscenity is
highly appreciated and will meet with
heartiest approval.

LONGER TERMS OF OFFICE.

The East Oregonian is in receipt Of
a letter from a subscriber at Meacham.
complaining of the four-year terms
for a number of county and district
officers and arguing that all terms
should be of but two years duration.
The only possible object of having
short terms of office is to pass the
office around among aspiring polite
lans, Every other argument is in ia
vor of a longer term. With a two
year term an official is but fairly IN
stalled in office when he must stand
for reelection, no matter how eff
cient he may be or how long it has
taken him to familiarize himself with
the details of his work.
Every time you change off an ex-
perienced man for an inexperienced
man the public service suffers. The
offices belong to the people and not
to the parties, and the people should
enact the recall amendment to the Or
egon constitution by which an unfit
or dishonest official may be recalled
from office and then all terms of Of
flee should be extended to four or six
years.
The two-year term and the frequent
recurrence of the general elections
upset and demoralze the public serv-
ice. Officials are forced to begin
for a second term before
they are settled in office for a first
term and the uncertainty and sus-
pense which accompany the two-year
term work against the highest eff
cheney and best service.
If the people had a means of re-
calling a man who proves to be unfit
for office, it would be much better
to have eight or 1O-years terms, it
seems.
It would do away with office seek
ng and professional politics, to ex-
.end the term and thus destroy the
business of habitual slate makers. We
,ava haliavad and have hpan taught
90 long that the public office is a
,arty spoil to be divided among the
Let US get away from that
sentiment. All offices belong to the
PEOPLE and efficiency and honesty
hould be the chief qualifications for
fficials, regardless Of party affilia-
ion.
