COST OF PYRAMID AT DETROIT

f. S. Wheeler, member of the De-
troit Engineering society, presented al
a recent meeting of that society plans
and specifications on which he esti-
mated in detail the cost of reproduce
ing in Detroit the Great Pyramid of
Gizeh.
The first paragraph of the speclfl>
cation Is as follows: "The DETROIT
pyramid shall be complete and ex,
act copy of the pyramid of Gfzeh as
ii was when first built and before 1t
had been broken into and desecrated
by early barbarian kings or later civ,
ilized antiquarians. The material OF
the Detroit pyramid must, where pos
sible. be the same as that of the old;
if not, it must be equally good, as de,
termlned by the Detroit Engineering
society"
The original dimensions of the
Great Pyramid were: Length OF
side. $50 feet; height, ass geet; area
of base, 1926 acres Mr.. Wheeler es,
Inmates the cost, exclusive of site or
foundation. as follows: 1913, 900
cubic yards backing stone at $3.50,
s2S, 10000; 100000 cubic yards fac
ing stone at $57, $7,9S0,OOO; 1000
cubic yards granite facing at 800,

MEET DEATH WITH SONGS.

Students of human nature will find
in the spectacle of the crew of the
ship Gladiator going to their deaths
with a song on their lips another proof
of the fact that singing is the best
outlet for human emotions in the time
of great stress and fear, says London
Chat.
Here were over a hundred men face
to face with DEATH land was within
$50 yards of them and they might
have been excused had they broken
ranks and dived into the sea. Instead
of that they stood shoulder to shoul-
der singing the well known song.
Sons of the Sea-"
OF course the reason why human
beings sing at such a moment as this
is because it steadles the brain and
prevents dangerous thinking. Many
a time a song has saved hundreds Of
lives when nothing else could have
done anything.

VAGRANCY.

In the editorial refernce to the
hobo" class that are infesting Call
fornit by the thousands, the Chronl-
Gle says:
There is but one remedy, and that
Is to deal with these vagrants by state
law and at the expense of the state.
The penalty for vagrancy should be
the wood piles and buck saw in a
stockaded yard, conducted on the no.
work-no-eat plan, but with fair pay
If they work we'll.
There is not the slightest danger to
respectable men actually seeking em-
pioyment from adopting this course.
There is never any trouble in identi-
flying a hobo.
But this will never be done except
under state regulation. SO long as
the town can get rid Of the burden
by passing the hobo on the next place
il will be done. 1t is contemplate.
but country magistrates all do it and
their constituents support them.

THE FARCE OF THE LAW.

The legal farce of the United states
and of the several states is enacted
every day and yet people make but
little earnest effort to make the farce
a serious matter.
For instance, the circuit court in
Umatilla county grants woman
divorce and gives her alimony paya-
BILE every month. She needs this ALI
mony to support herself and children.
perhaps. The court has given it to
her and ordered it paid to the county
clerk on stated dates each month, for
a definite, fixed period.
All right. This is a regular court.
The law under which it acted in this
matter was regularly passed and is
in force every day in the year, on
every foot of oregon soil. 1t is sup
posed to be obeyed. 1t is taken to
mean what it says. People are depen-
dent upon it for protection. Espec-
tally is this widow and family inter-
ested in its alleged sacredness,
But look. The divorced husband
crosses the line into Washington, or
even into another judicial district in
Oregon. He gets "out of the juris-
diction of the court and absolutely
and permanently refuses to heed the
order of the court.
No alimony for that widow. No
respect for that circuit judge. Let
his court go and be hanged as far as
this merry grass widower is copcern-
ed. Mandates, DEGREES, orders of court
have no weight outside of a narrow
prescribed line, no matter how far
reaching the subject treated by the
law.
Now wouldn't it be much more sem
sible if there were a uniform divorce
law throughout the United States, 50
grass widow or a grass widower in
Oregon would still be the same in
Washington? Wouldn't it be much
more sensible to have a law that
meant something? Would it not be
much more just and reasonable to
have alimony and other divorce de-
crees enforced uniformly throughout
the United States? Should man be
allowed to run away from alimony
any more than from a charge of horse
stealing or arson or burglary?
1t would check the divorce evil per.
haps and would have a tendency to
breed a more Wholesome respect for
the laws of the land.

BRYAN IN THE WEST.

John r. McLean's Cincinnati paper,
the Enquirer has abandoned hope en-
tirely that Mr.. Bryan can make gains
in the west, says the Springfield Re-
publican.
It scans the field. fails to note a
bolt of his party by any important
radical republican. and concludes that
the republican radicals in mass are
well satisfied with their party and its
present and prospective leadership.
This conclusion comedies pretty
closely with our own view Of the prob
abilities as they are at present de-
fined. It should be pointed out, how
ever. that Mr.. Mclean is very un-
friendly 10 Mr. Bryan and that his
Washington paper, the Post, which
denies that ours is a government of
the people or was ever intended to be,
has at no time shown him any con-
sideration.
on this account the Enquirer's tes-
timony by itself is Of the prejudiced
sort that requires confirmation from
other sources.
II s. too early to cav that the re-
publican fight in the west is already
won; and It is certain that Mr.. Hitch
cock is not proceeding on that as
sumption.

OF course It may be unjust to
suspicion any soft dring resort These
old drinkers who formerly took Moth

of iced grape juice Their tastes may

But If the detectives really want
information this is the time
of day to secure it fresh from the
street.
BY following the early morning
trails OF a number of conspicuous old
timers who in saloon days never len

detectives will perhaps find that these

CORRECT INFORMATION.

The Pendleton Tribune says the in
formation sent out to the Portland
oregonian concerning the filing on
10000 inches of water in the upper
Umatilla river by the Wenaha Water
and Power company, during the past
week has been incorrect and mis-
construed"
The records at the county court
house are not incorrect nor miscon-
strued Three water and power sites,
claiming in the aggregate, 10000
inches Of the remaining water in the
Umatilla river have just been filed, a
few days before the city of Pendleton
started an engineer to that particular
part of the Umatilla river to locate
a gravity water supply for the city.
There is more water in the Umatilla
river than the Byers' water right can
use, but with 10000 additional inches
filed upon for water and power pur-
poses" there is nothing left for Pen
dleton.
If the Tribune wants to give the
people of Pendleton correct informa-
ton" why does it not publish the facts
about the location of the three water
and power sites" on the Umatilla
river? II has not done so.
The record at the court house shows
Just what the East Oregonian has
published and just what the Portland
papers have published.
