LEGISLATURE Is HONEST.

Although reports of attempts to
bribe members of the legislature on
the senatorial election this early after
the general election are being circu-
lated. yet the East Oregonian has
faith in the legislature elected and be-
lieves that every man will do as he
has agreed to do with his constituents.
Every republican who has agreed
with his neighbors and friends to
support the peoples choice for United
States senator will vote for the peo-
pies choice 1t may be a bitter pill
for many vote for a senator belong--
ing TO an opposite party, but if that
member Of an opposite party is the
peoples choice, that settles it, The
people should and will rule.
Coming back to the question of
bribing legislators in the senatorial
election, It IS natural that every one
should ask who is interested in break
ing the ranks Of the statement No.
members? Who is interested in
thwarting the will Of the people? Who
Is it that Is counciling revolt against
the people? Is it the miserable
wretch who is used as a stool pigeon
and go-between or is it somebody
higher up?
What will It benefit the corrupt
parasite who is conducting the ne
gotiations? He expects no honor, no
position, no advancement. He simply
wants few dollars Of the corrup-
ton fund.
Then who is at the bottom Of this
attempt to disrupt the legislature and
set aside the will of the people? 1t is
somebody who hopes to profit by it,
politically, Of course. Somebody who
hopes to be hit by the senatorial
lightning In the open fight in the legis-
lature.
So let US watch and be still. The
real culprit will show his hand sooner

COMPENSATION.

For every man who leaves Umatilla

man who knocks the county because
OF the prohibition vote there will be

Every emergency has its compen-

man who, unfortunately, will be fore

cases and hopes to be able to publish
a list of actual settlers who come

people are coming. THERE'S no doubt
about 1t. They believe in that prin-

WILL HELP MERCHANTS.

The Spokesman Review is in favor
of the parcels post, which has been
urged by Postmaster General Meyer
and gives some excellent reasons why
the law should be passed for the ben
eft of the country consumer and the
small merchant. Reviewing the ques-
tlon in detail, the Spokane paper says:
Postmaster General Meyer asserted
with truth and reason in his report to
the senate on March last, that the
proposed rural parcels post would
benefit the farmer, the country mer-
chant and other patrons of the route -
False and juggling attempts are made
by the blk express companies to re-
fute that logical assertion, but with
out convincing effect.
Under the present postal laws, big
catalogue houses in eastern cities have
cut into the trade Of the country mer-
chant to a discouraging extent. In
building up this trade they have used
both the mails and the express lines.
The proposed rural parcels post will
go far to restore this lost business to
.bo on,,,tr,, ,,,arobant
1t proposes a general postal rate Of
12 cents a pound on packages weigh
ing up to II pounds, but it also pro-
vides-and here is where the country
merchant is benefited-for a special
low postal rate over all rural routes
or merchandise mailed at the post
office at which the rural route starts.
This special rate is cents for the
first pound and cents for each ad-
pound up to II pounds. The
country merchant could take advan-
tage Of this special low rate; the big
houses could not.
The country merchant could mail
out an 11-pound package for 25 cents;
the eastern competitor would have to
pay the high rate of s1.32 on an H.
pound package.
The differential in advantage Of
the country merchant has been shown
to be ample. Under the proposed
parcels post law he certainly could
recapture a large part, If not ALL Of
the business which has been taken
from him by the catalogue houses
under existing postal laws.
The rural free delivery service has
been built up to great system. In
Whitman county, this state, for ex-
ample, there are 80 rural free deliv-
cry routes running out Of II towns, as
follows:
Colfax and Palouse, four each; Gar
field, Pullman and St. John, three
each; Pennington, Oakesdale and
Rosalia, two each; and one each to
Albino, ColtoB Elbertan, Endicott, La
Crosse, Sunset, Tekoa, Thornton and
Uniontown,
What better service could the Whit
man county merchants desire than
this? A daily delivery to patrons
miles away in the country, and Uncle
sam charging only rs cents for an H.
pound package, as against charge of

CHINESE TO STUDY FORESTRY

China's first school of forestry Will
shortly be opened at Mukden. The
Chinese empire is usually pointed out
as the worst example, among modern
nations, Of forest destruction. The
floods which are periodically poured
down from the denuded mountains
are destructive beyond comparison
with any other country and the want
of forests is assigned as the chief
cause. Wood is scarcer in China than
in almost any other region in the
world, although the country is well
adapted to the growing of trees.

Its about time you introduced me

he stared at them half defiantly, yet
with a twinkle in his eyes.
Miss Leslie flushed. WINTHROP
swore softly, and bit his lip. Aboard
ship, backed by Lady Bayrose and the
captain, he had goaded the American

Blake was not slow to observe the
Englishman's hesitancy. He grinned.

situation.
But yet Blake persisted. He bowed,

This was too much! He set his Jaw
turned over, and staggered TO his
feet. Instantly one of the terrific
wind-blasts struck his broad back and
sent him spinning for yards. He
brought up in a shallow pool, beside 6
hummock.
Under the lee of the knoll lay Win.
thrope and Miss Leslie. Though con
scious, both were draggled and bruised
and beaten to exhaustion. They were
together because they had come
ashore together. When the boat cap.

against the Englishman, and they had

Neither of them ever recalled how

Blake, sitting waist-deep in the
pool, blinked at them benignly with
his pale blue eyes, and produced the
quart flask, still a third full of whisky.
Il shay, %fren's," he observed, "ha'
one on me. Won cos you shent-
notta re- shent!"
You fuddled lout," shouted Win
thrope. Come out of that pool"
"Wassama'er pool? Pools a%llri'!"
The Englishman squinted through
the driving scud at the intoxicated
man with an anxious frown. In all
probability he felt no commiseration
for the American; but it was no light
matter to be flung up barehanded on
the most %unhealthful and savage
stretch of the Mozambique coast, and
Blake might be able to help them out
of their predicament. To leave him
in the pool was therefore not to be
thought of. So 500 as he had drained
his bottle, he would lie down, and
that would be the end of him. AS any
attempt to nov him forcibly was out
of the question, the situation demanded
that WINTHROP justify his intimations
of diplomatic training. After consid-
ering the problem for several minutes,
he met it in a way that proved he was
at least not lacking in shrewdness and
tact.
See here, Blake" he called, in an.
other lull between the shrieking gusts,
the lady is ~fatigued. You're too much
of a gentleman to ask her to come
over there"
1t required some moments for this
to penetrate Blake's fuddled brain.
After a futile attempt to gain his feet,
he crawled out of the pool on all fours,
and. with tears in his eyes, pressed his
flask upon Miss Leslie. She shrank
away from him, shuddering. and drew
herself up in a huddle of fiaccid limbs
and limp garments. Winthrope, how
ever, not only accepted the flask, but
come near to draining it.
Blake squinted at the diminished
contents. hesitated, and cast a glance
of maudlin gallantry at Miss Leslie.
She lay coiled, closer than before, in
a draggled heap. Her posture sug-
gested sleep. Blake stared at her, the
flask extended waveringly before him.
Then he brought it to his lips, ana
drained out the last drop.
Time turn in," he mumbled, and
sprawled full length in the brackish
ooze. Immediately he fell into a
drunken stupor.
Winthrope, invigorated by the liquor,
rose to his knees, and peered around
1t was impossible to face the scud and

to leeward he caught a glimpse OF a
marsh flooded with salt water, its

by a terrific gust. Painting and
trembling, he waited for the wind to
lull, in hope that he might obtain q
clearer view of his surroundings. Be

darkness swept down with tropical
~suddenness and blurred out everything
The effect of the whisky soon
passed, and Winthrope huddled be-

exhausted. Though he could hear Miss
Leslie moaning, he was too miserable

anything for her.
Presently he became aware that the
wind was falling. The center of the
