IN JUDGE HAILEY's MEMORY.

Those who knew "Tom" Haley well
and enjoyed the privilege of his
friendship feel greatly saddened over
the news of his death. He was an
able and Woodworking lawyer and
won deserved success in his profess
sion, which led to the supreme bench
of the state. Yet it is not as law
yer that he will be best remembered.
In the hearts of his friends will be
cherished the memory of beautiful
character, whose smile meant sun
shine, whose hand-clasp devotion,
whose word truth, and in whose
speaking eyes there lurked the
sparkle Of a kindly humor that
would brighten the path of life" of
those who entered the charmed circle
of his intimates. May he rest in
peace.-Weston Leader.

by the Apaches. Many OF the war
rlors had been slain ana others were
falling by the wayside as they drop
ped from hunger and fatigue. Their
ponies were exhausted and ready to
drop on the hot sands but they
hurried down the mountain stream TO
the big river. Then the swift water
frightened the ponies and they re-
fused to cross the river.
The enemies We're upon them and
no time was to be lost. The good
spirit flashed a light across the
chasm and caused the ponies to look
up. There stood the black horse.
They jumped into the river and kept
up stream until a sand bar was reach
ed on the opposite shore. All were
saved. Soon the Apaches came rid
ing in hot pursuit. They whipped
their ponies into the river without
looking for the ford and all were
drowned. The black horse has since
become a sacred relic of the Ute In
dian warfare.

section Of the northwest where i
would be interesting or profitable to
the people.
With these trains are agricultural
experts who lecture on advanced
farming methods while railroad Off
cials discuss the relations OF the rail-
roads to the people. Questions OF
vital importance to both shipper and
railroad company are talked over in
a friendly manner and both sides OF
all common issues between the rail-
roads and the people are ventilated.
When both sides understand the
motives and spirit OF the other and
when matters in which both are inter-
ested are discussed in a friendly and
businesslike manner, there will be
little friction between the railroads
and the people. It is hoped that this
spirit Of association is cultivated more
In Oregon.
More can be accomplished through
friendly discussion than through agI-
tation and litigation. The country
can be developed more rapidly and
conditions improved in a more satis-
factory manner through cooperation
than through coercion and It is hoped
that the sentiment expressed by Mr..
O'Brlen can be put into execution.

BETTER ACQUAINTANCE.

General Manager j. P. O'Brien Of
the o. r. & N. company, expressed a
truth which will appeal to every can
did man as being worthy Of highest
consideration, when he said that half
Of the difficulties between the pub
lie and the railroads are the result
Of Misunderstanding.
He said that II there was a better
acquaintance between railroad Off
Gals and the people, If they associ-
ated and visited together more, IL
they inquired into each others bus
mess and took pains to understand
every question in which both are in
terested, that much of the friction
between the people and the railroads,
not only in Oregon, but elsewhere,
would be entirely removed.
With this end in view the o. r. &
Y. company is running farmers trains
through the palouse section, and will
-un the same trains through Umatilla
nd Union counties. or in any other

SIZE OF THE PANAMA CANAL.

The bottom width of the cut of the
Panama canal will be 200 feet and
the depth 40 feet. The Suez canal
averaging 115 feet wide at the bot
tom and permitting a draft of only
27 feet 10 inches, has proved too
small. Several of the great battle
ships Of the British navy can now go
through 1t only with hazard, and none
OF the larger freighters fully loaded.

the transatlantic trade. could go
through. Even the large German
liners trading to the Orient often
lose their storage way and sheer
against the sides. The Panama canal
will be able to admit even larger
vessels.

KNOCKERS SLENCED.

Will the mossback and knocker
who chewed straws on Postmaster
Dorn's porch three years ago and
said that no man living would ever
see water flowing in the government
canal to the reservoir because the
sands would soak up the water and
the canal ran up hill-will that man
please call around and receive his
reward? The biggest boot in Echo
will be necessary to convey 1t to him.

IN JUDGMENT.

My Soul stood bare in the sight OF
men.
My Soul stood firm-it knew no fear;
For the blame of man could not be
just,
The mind OF man could not under
stand.
My Soul stood bare in the sight of a
child.
1t stood condemned, for it stood per-
ceived.
The blame of child is the blame OF
truth,
Tho the heart of a child may not un-
derstand.
My Soul stood bare in the sight of
God,
And my Soul rejoiced in its helpless
ness:
For the blame of God was forgive
ness
The mercy of God could understand.

Raleigh Hotel to Washington Post re-
porter. However, that became apparent
when the President took the UMPIRE
cedented action Of sending his entire
cabinet to take the stump. 1t cannot be
denied the chances of Mr. Bryan seem
bright. There is much more enthusiasm
for him in this campaign than there was
in the campaigns of 1896 and 1900. Vir-
ginia will give Mr. Bryan larger ma

to check the tide Just before starting
to Porto Rico, / asked man occupying
position which placed him in control of
a large number of employed men how
these men are going to vote. He said

voted that way before, and he said no -
The reason they had changed, he de-
clared, was because they were afraid of
Judge Taft's injunction ideas.

In addition to voting the regular Off
cial ballot today. West Virginia citizens
will be required to vote on two amend
ments TO their State constitution. One
of the amendments mod f1s section four
of article four of the constitution, and
provides that no person excepting eiti-
zens entitled to vote. shall be elected to
any State. county or municipal Office;
but the governor and judges must have
attained the age of thirty. and the attor-
uey general and senators the age of TWEEN
ty-five years. and must have been citi-
zens of the State for FIVE years next pre-
ceding th1ir election or appointment.
The second amendment refers to the
lumber of County Commissioners and
is unimportant except that portion of it
which provides that the compensation
of county commissioners, now four dol
lars per day for each day of actual ser
vice. may be increased in any county by
the assent of majority of the votes cast
on the question at any general or special
election.
