nothing upon the subject. The re-
cent attitude of some OF those papers
indicates that Instructions are being
followed closely,
1t would have been to the credit of
oregon had the attack never been
undertaken. The attempt to defeat
Governor Chamberlain for the sena-
tcrship is one which, whether It sue
ceeded or not, meant discredit to this
state and to the people thereof.
When the people of the state en-
dorsed Chamberlain last spring and
also chose statement l legislature,
that should have settled the senator
ship completely 1t did settle it with
the rank and file of the people.
Seemingly the attempt to break in
70 the statement phalanx has failed
and failed miserably. 1t deserves to
fail. In the first place it was not a
move in behalf of the republican
party as has been claimed. 1t was
inspired by people who dislike the
direct primary system and by people
who hope to profit personally in the
event of Chamberlain's defeat.
The heart OF the republican party
Of oregon has not been in the fight,
The average republican is against the
move. Some of the biggest republi-
cans in the state have denounced the
scheme in unmeasured terms. Even
in the executive committee of the
Union Republican club of Portland
there was strong opposition to the
move. The president of the club and
its most influential members were
to going into the fight. Out
side workers were responsible for the
resolution that was finally passed.
SO far the attack upon statement
No. l and the honesty of the legisla-
tcrs-elect has been a fizzle. May it
continue to be such.

EASY TO DRIFT.
. uh mud"
Edmund Vance Cook.

Easy to drift to the open sea,
The tides are eager and swift and
strong,
And whistling and free are the rush
ing winds
But, oh, to get back is hard and
long.
Easy as told in Arabian tale,
To free from his jar the evil sprite,
Till he rises like smoke to stupendous
size
But, oh, nevermore, can we prison
him tight.
Easy as told in an English tale,
To fashion a Frankenstein body
and soul,
And breathe in his bosom breath .of
life
But, oh, we create what we cannot
control
Easy to drift to the sea of doubt,
Easy to hurt what we cannot heal
Easy to rouse what we cannot soothe
Easy to speak what we do not feel
Easy to show what we ought tC
conceal
Easy to think that fancy is fate,
And, oh, the wisdom that comes toe
late! Oliver Huckle.

RESERVATION ROADS.

BY taking up the subject of better
highways for the reservation the good
reads association is entering a field
where there is much to be accom-
plished.
At the present time the roads upon
the reservation are not what they
should be. Though the reservation
embraces the best land in the counJ
the roads are practically left to take
care of themselves. So badly cut up
DC they become at times that COM
Portable travel across the reservation
Is out of the question. The grades
are poor. the bridges bad and often
unsafe.
Then upon top of all this, there is
no official highway across the reser-
vation. stockmen wishing to cross
the Indian land must pay toll and
have their herds or flocks guarded
by a band of Indian police
This is not right in any sense of
the word. If the Indians are to be
citizens they should share in the work
of civilization as we'll as in the gain.
The roads upon the reservation should
be laid out along model lines and
maintained as we'll as any in the
county.
And there is no reason on earth
Why stockmen should be charged for
crossing the reservation. They
should be forced to observe proper
care in crossing and if damage is in
flicted by the herds or bands the in
jured parties should be fully recon-
pensed. But toll should not be charg-
ed.
In the past the government people
have indicated that highways might
be opened across the reservation.
But thus far nothing has been done,
possibly because the subject has not
been brought before them. Now that
the good roads officers are taking the
matter up let it be hoped that some
tangible good will result. The East
Oregonian hopes that the result will
be better roads and free open high
ways across the reservation.

GOOD NEWS FOR UMATILLA.

There is joyous news for Umatilla
county in the announcement from
Washington that the federal govern
ment will establish an experiment sta
ton upon the Umatilla project and
will pay half the cost of maintaining
the same.
Through the influence of President
W. ]. Kerr of the agricultural college,
the department of the interior has
been induced to take vigorous action
IL: the matter. This is evidenced by
the announcement that Secretary
Garfield has set aside enough money
t. construct the needed buildings and
equip the station.
Seemingly all that now remains for
local people to do is to secure from
the state sufficient money to meet the
other half of the maintenance cost
1t should be an easy matter to do
this, especially in view of the strong
delegation this county has in the leg
islature. Nevertheless, nothing
should be left undone in the matter.
The people of the west end should
get together and sse that the neces-
sarv appropriation is made by the
state. It is a matter of vital i'm
portance to the west end and the sub
ject should be handled accordingly
Through the establishment Of an
experimental farm upon the project
untold good will result to the settlers
ir that section. In the settlement Of
the west end there are many prob
lens TO be worked out. The success
or the project will depend largely up
or the methods followed by the set
tiers. II properly conducted, as it
doubtless will be, the station will be
able TO give advice that will be worth
thousands Of dollars to settlers in that
arid empire.
OF almost equal Importance to this
county will be the establishment of
dry land experimental station in one
Of the counties west Of Umatilla.
Through the work Of President Kerr
the department has agreed to give
the same aid to a dry land station
that it will to the one upon the Una
tilla project.
Though it would be preferable to
have the dry land station in this
county, yet il will be Of much benefit
to Umatilla county farmers even
though located in Morrow, Sherman
or Gillian. The climatic conditions
there are much the same as in this
county. The work done will apply
here as well as there.
All in all. the news from Washing
ton IS the best Umatilla county has
received for many months and Pres
ldent Kerr is entitled to high praise
for the good he has accomplished.

A BAD WORD.

At a London dinner recently the
conversation turned to the various
methods employed by literary genius
es. Among the examples cited was
that of a well-known poet, who, 1t was
said, was wont to arouse his wife
about o'clock in the corning and
exclaim, maria, get up; I've thought
of a good word" Whereupon the
poets obedient helpmate would crawl
out of bed and make note Of the
thought-of-word.
About an hour later, like as not, n
new inspiration would seize the bard,
whereupon he would again arouse his
wife, saying, maria, Maria, get up!
I've thought of a better word!"
The company in general listened to
the story with admiration, but
merry-eyed American girl remarked:
"Well, If he'd been my husband l
should have replied, 'Alpheus, get up
yourself: I've thought of bad word!"

RESULT OF RATE DECISION
Extra Session of Minnesota Leqisla-

Extra Session of Minnesota LegisIa-
ture Probable.
st. Paul, March Ex-Governor John
A. Johnson will undoubtedly call a
special session of the Minnesota leg
lslature to repass the rate bills which
were knocked out by the United
States supreme court with such
amendments as will make them &C.
ceptable to the court.
The governors action will depend
on fuller information as to the grounds
OF the decision of the court.
IF, however, it turns out that the
penalties imposed are the controlling
objection" said the governor, "the
matter can be remedied undoubtedly
and should be at once
Il can see no reason for waiting a
year for the regular session.
The rate laws are estimated to
effect a saving of 100000 annually to
the people of Minnesota. The extra
session would cost but a very small
fraction of that sum. Besides, the
legislature would have an opportunity
to consider the rate problem fully, I'M
vexed by all the other problems of
state government which will confront
the regular session.
ITO await the regular session would
merely defer from ten months to a
year the accomplishment of rate re-
form, for no matter how good a law
we enact I have no doubt that either
the railroad of1cials-or their share
holders-will contest it as long as
they can"

Pittsburg, March 25.-A policeman,
while intoxicated, gathered about ten
FOUNDERS and chased them into a sa-

doesn't drink ten WHISTLES now and

The gang fell to in hurry, fearing
the officer might change his mind.
One by one they fell to the floor or
reeled into a corner. Henry Thomp-
son dropped like shot as he raised
his eighth glass to his lips and he
died later in the patrol wagon on the
way to the police station. There was
giant negro, however, who outdrank
them all. His name is not known to
