DESIGNS FOR MARK
TWA|N'S MANTELP|ECE

Three tentative designs for the koa
mantelpiece to be presented to Mark
Twain by the Promotion Committee
W ere submitted at the meeting of the
committee yesterday. one full-sizeo
outline sketch by Viggo Jacobsen and
two smaller designs by Frank n.
Otremba. while a design for the main
paneling was submitted by Jos. Whit
tie. All three were admired by the
members. but no choice was made, the
matter going over for week. In the
meanwhile the designs Will be on eX-
hibition at the Promotion Committee
ROOM Mr.. Jacobsen'S sketch to be fur
ther embellished before being hung up.
. His design is that described last
week and is the one that will probably
be accepted. with some small modlh-
cations suggested. Mr.. Otremba's two
sketches are something along the same
line. but rather more ornate. He Is
the one who will probably be selected
to work up the koa. being an expert
wood carver.
Mr. Whittle's design for the top
panel suggested the use of carved hg-
ures of Hawaiians, surrounded by
trees. on the sea line, silhouetted
against painted sea and sky, bring
ing into use the gorgeous colors of a
Hawaiian sunset. The conception is
beautiful one, the only objection to be
advanced being the employment OF
colors other than that of the natural
color of the wood to be used. On the
canvas submitted, Mr.. Whittle has
presented very pretty and thorough
Iv characteristic Hawaiian scene, well !
worth inspecting.

DISEASES AND CURES.

Perhaps 1t isn't altogether fair, or
at least not kind, to be bothering the
doctors about the little matter of max
ing. consistency consist, but then ques-
tions come up every little while that
are liable to be mighty misleading II
not adjusted, says the Kansas City
Journal.
We have all read about the doctor
who told a patient his ailment was
due to lack of exercise, and that he
should take a vigorous walk every
day, only to be told that the patient
was a letter carrier and did practi-
cally nothing else but walk all day.
In that same line, to certain ex-
tent is this little question that has
arien to puzzle people. AS we all
know, a great deal is being said just
now about outdoor life as a cure for
tuberculosis, and the arguments ad-
vanced seem TO have been accepted
as beyond dispute.
Now comes a story to the effect that
a question as to the wholesomeness of
rabbits as food caused some inquiry
and investigations to be made, the
rabbits being selected from a lot of
Arkansas long-eared lopers. The re-
suit was that more than so per cent
of those examined were found to be
infected with tuberculosis.
Surely the rabbit is, as a rule, out
doors quite considerable, and lives, as
they say in Arkansas, fright smart"
of his time in the open air. How are
we to understand this fact of rabbits
being afflicted with a disease for the
cure of which outdoor life is pre-
scribed for humans? Guess we will
have to fall back on the old adage
that what is meat for one may be poi
son for another-especially rabbits.

the sum Of $4,000 for the purpose OF
establishing a fruit cannery which
will employ about so people.
This cannery will consume all the
surplus fruit grown In the vicinity OF
Independence and will thus encour-
age orchardists to plant more trees
and produce more marketable fruit.
II will furnish a large payroll for the
town which will be Immediately re-
turned to circulation by the employees
and will thus stimulate and strengthen
every business in the town.
The expense of advertising extern
slvely In the east would have been at
least $25O0. For double this sum
they have started a cannery which
will begin at once to bring returns.
1t will bring new people into the
town to find labor and make homes.
1t will swell the schools. add to the
taxable property and give new vital
ty to every enterprise in Independ-
ence. 1t is an example worthy of
highest consideration.

songster has been demonstrated by
careful study, says q writer in the
Oregon Sunday Journal. The ele-
ments of music have wide range
through the kingdom OF beasts.
Recently a little paragraph like the
following has been going the rounds
of the newspapers along with a lot
Of other little paragraphs, under
some such head as "Odds and Ends"
useless Information" "Polntless
Paragraphs"
According to musical authority.
the mooing of COW is set to a per-
feet fifth, octave or tenth; the bark
of a dog to a fourth Ur NTH; the
neighing of a horse is a descent on
the chromatic scale; while the dom
key brays in a perfect octave. Yet 1t
is thought in some quarters that the
quality of a donkey's voice might be
improved"
Music lovers have not been inclin-
ed to place unlimited confidence in
the statement; indeed, they have been
politely incredulous.
AS a matter OF fact, careful lnves-
tigators assert, the statement is all
right. as far as II goes. The only
trouble is that 1t does not go far
enough.

WHAT THE UNION HAS DONE.

Umatilla county sheepmen have en-
ioyed from one to three cents per
pound more for their wool since the
organization of their association and
the establishment of their wool sales
than before This is a direct and tan
gible result which actually swells the
bank account. It is not theory, but
it is a practical demonstration.
Now the farmers union of Walla
waIla county and the Inland Empire
Wheatgrowers' association of this
county have secured tangible results
from their efforts. The price of grain
sacks has been hammered down from
two to three cents per sack, and the
freight rate on sacks from Portland to
Seattle and Tacoma has been reduced
S5 per cent, thus effecting an actual
saving to the farmers of the inland
empire.
This is not a theoretical economy.
But the farmers will put more money
in the bank and spend less in ex-
penses than ever before, solely on ac-
count of the work Of the union. So
organization pays. It not only brings
social benefits but it brings benefits
which may be measured in dollars
and cents, If you care to measure it
in the mercenary way
So the woolgrowers and wheat
farmers will stick to their organiza
tions and they viii support their wool
sales and their farmers conventions.
They will give their support and as
sistance and cooperation to that
principle which means a saving Of
dollars and cente to them.

THE ROOSEVELT PLATFORM.

Now, you know what Theodore
Roosevelt will stand for in the presl-
Dental campaign of 1908. In his
message to congress yesterday he an
nounced the republican platform for
this year. He made it so clear and
concise that there can be no misun-
derstanding, SO emphatic that there
can be no doubt about its sincerity.
He touched the entire gamut of
party principles from the demand for
the abolition of child labor to the re-
vision of the tariff schedule and the
financial laws of the country. Moth
ing escaped his powerful grasp and
scope. Nothing in the shape Of an
abuse is too small to be unnoticed and
nothing in the statutes is so sacred
that 1t will be overlooked, if it works
injury to the people or nullifies the
object of good government.
The regulation of railroads through
amended interstate commerce laws,
the revision of the tariff through
commission, the protection of the for
ests, the storage Of waste waters, the
improvement of water ways and the
protection Of American labor through
wise laws giving labor a legal and
honorable standing before the gov
ernment, are some of his vital princi-
Piles and there are none higher nor
more sacred to the American people
than these.
The president in demanding pro-
lection and legal sanction for legiti-
mate combinations of capital for pur-
pose of trade, development and COM
merce, gives the lie to the blatant
criminals who have said his antitrust
policies would destroy legitimate in
dustries.
He has declared war upon illegiti-
mate and criminal corporations whose
object is restraint of trade. but for
those combinations of capital which
have an honest and legitimate aim,
which are satisfied with fair profits
and which do not seek to kill every
opposition, he has the utmost respect
and would protect them by wise yet
rigid laws
So the calamity bowling of Harri-
man, Rockefeller, Morgan and others
of Wall street, who have cried from
the housetops that Roosevelt is running
the. industries Of the country, has
been rebuked in a most thrilling man.

DEFENDS WOSiEN.

The Woman's Tribune of Portland,
one of the leading equal suffrage and
woman's rights papers in the United
States, in speaking Of the Oregon law
making 10 hours a days work for a
woman, says, pertinently:
Amid the general comment approv-
ing the. decision Of the supreme court
upholding the Oregon law that an
adult woman's working day must be
limited to 10 hours, the Womans
Tribune must utter its word of protest
and dissent.
The principle of sex legislation is
absolutely wrong and unjust. and no
superstructure of justice can be built
upon it. If It is an injury to other
workers Or to society that woman
should work more than 10 hours a
day, the same holds good with regard
to a man. All such protective laws
should be impartial and without re-
gard to sex or class.
All history shows that so-called pro-
lection is a two-edged tool which is
especially sharp on the side that
touches the class it is supposed to
protect. As for there being special
physical reasons why a woman should
be limited in her hours Of working,
that is all nonsense.
The average woman who is forced
to go out into factory life will do
woman's work at home beside and
then outlive the man she has cooked
and washed and sewed for And for
the woman who Is alone and with
only herself to keep her family to-
gether It is a shame that she should
be placed under legal limitations and
Disadvantages in addition to those
which the judges claim nature inn
poses upon her.

women in factory life, stultifying and

BUILDING TOWNS.

There are many ways in which
towns may be built up. All towns
cannot tack the same treatment. Diff
ferent cases require different proceed
ure. II modification has set in dras-
tic measures for resuscitaAon must
be adopted, but If town is only dead
or paralyzed in part, more mild meas
ures for the revival of life may be
followed.
It ali depends. In many places
where the process Of municipal NOR
tlffcatfon could be scented a mile
away, life has been revived by the
Introduction Of new blood and new
capital. the process Of decay has been
stopped and municipal health and
growth have taken its place.
Just now many towns of Oregon
and the Pacific coast are raising
enormous sums for advertising in the
east. They are making appeals 10
Intending homeseekers and are plac-
Ing their advantages before the public
in most attractive manner. Tnen
they sit down and wait for something
to happen.
But the town OF Independence has
adopted the most practical means OF
municipal resuscitation that could be
conceived. Instead Of raising a large
sum for advertising, they have raised

One ON the Preacher.

Into an ancient church, one day,
There walked a modest stranger;
And from his manners and his dress
Twas plain he was a granger.
The preacher CHANGED to be within,
And told the stranger briefly
About the sacred edifice,
Its ancient glories chiefly.
The tablets on the wall were shown,
And there were quite a number;
The preacher said within these
Now many persons slumber!"
The stranger looked with some sur
prise
Upon the gospel teacher,
And said, well, If so many sleep
Why don't you change the preach
er?"

IDAHO Is UNDECIDED.

Congressman French says he is
heartily in favor of extending the pro-
visions of the 320-acre dry-farm
homestead bill to Idaho. Senator
Hepburn objects to an inclusion of
the Gem state. When it is remember
ed that public land in Idaho is be-
coming very limited and when, on the
other hand, it is remembered that 1t
requires a larger farm unit to make
dry-farming profitable, there would
appear to be merit in both sides of
the question.-Pocatello Tribune.
