Victory for Knox.

President Zelaya is sending a spe
cial envoy to Washington to effect a
settlement of the claims of the G. O.
Emery Company, in compliance with
the ultimatum of Secretary of State
Knox. Zelaya is known as the OBJ.
stinate man of Central America. He
is intensely ambitious, and it had
been predicted he would bluff the
United States in this matter as a pre-.
lfminary to working out his plans to
become the big man of Central Amer.
lea, as we'll as the obstinate one. He
is, however, like Crockett's coon
ready to come down before Mr.. Knox
begins to shoot.
This is the first diplomatic victory
of Secretary of State Knox. It is
small game, but not small honor. The
dealing with the little republics of
Central and South America is ALWAYS
more difficult than with the big ma.
tons of Europe and Asia, or the bis
republics of South America, as manv
Giplomatists have found to their cost

met. He has made good in every
position he held previously, and will
no doubt make good in this one.

1t is announced that the package
freight steamers running in the lake
trade in connection with railroad lines
will start two weeks earlier than they
did last season. This is evidence that
business in general is picking up rap
idly, as the liners would not start
were not freight conditions pressing.
In short time iron movement will
begin anew, and then there will be no
idle tonnage during the months in
which vessel property is usually ac-
tive.

incubation is now suggested as a
cure for typhoid, and some expert

isfactorily. But the proposition for a
wholesale inoculation of school chill

seems rather premature, especially as
the ordinary vaccination system has
been attended with some terrible mis-
takes in the way of dangerous virus.

Daughter for Queen wiIheImina.

The Hague. - There was great
rejoicing in the Netherlands cap
ital early this morning when the an
nouncement was made from the pal
ace that Queen Wilhelmina had given
birth to daughter. The arrival of
the stork had been expected for some
weeks, and the usually lethargic
Dutch have been keyed up to a high
pitch of excitement. The guns which
early this morning fired a salute in
honor of the arrival of an heir were
placed in position ten days ago and
holidays were declared in schools.

Not the least of the benefits derived
from the rural mail by any means is
the responsibility it creates for the
maintenance of good roads in com
munities that desire the service. At
Atlanta, Mo-, the government revoked
a rural route because the people
would not keep the roads along the
route in good repair. 1t is not possible
that there are many communities in
Missouri where the people would part
with their rural mail service rather
than exhibit the enterprise necessary
to make the roads accessible for the
mail carrier. If it is understood that
there will be no mail service where
good roads are not maintained as the
governments policy at Atlanta APP
pears to indicate, then hail to the
rural mail carrier as the advance
agent of better roads and consequent
ly a better day!-Exchange

PAYNE BILL HONEST
MEASURE ENDORSED BY NEW
YORK TRIBUNE.
Chief Republican Organ in the East
Asserts That 1t Carries Out
the Pledges of the National
Platform.

The Payne bill, as 1t goes to the
senate, represents an honest effort to
carry out the pledges of the Repub-
lican national platform. 1t effects
substantial downward revision of the
Dingley rates and attempts to apply
the protective principle scientifically
and nationally. In so doing 1t goes
much too far to suit the "stand-pat-
ters." who consider their own inter-
ests paramount to the general good.
On the other hand, it does not satisfy
the extreme Cobdenites, to whom rea-
sonable protection is more obnoxious
than any other form of protection, be-
cause harder to discredit or over
throw. 1t is only from such per-
verted point of view that the Payne
bill can be attacked as a triumph of
reaction"
A fair analysis will show that COM
pared with the Dingley bill the Payne
bill exhibits rational progress. 1t in
troduces the maximum minimum prin-
ciple, which will be of undoubted value
in dealing with foreign countries
which have adopted that principle,
and will furnish us a means of secur-
ing everywhere the most favored ma
ton treatment which we are prepared
to give AS our industries develop and
we attain our natural place as one OF
the greatest of the manufacturing and
exporting nations, protective duties
must decrease and revenues from tar
ifs must diminish. To those, there
fore, who hope to see customs duties
gradually lowered and finally removed
the Payne bill should be especially
welcome, since in imposing perma-
nent federal inheritance tax 1t at
least points the way to gradual
shifting of basis of federal taxation.
We have already expressed our view
that the Payne bill was improved by
the limited consideration allowed 1t In
the house The changes made We're
on the whole, highly beneficial. 1t is
to be regretted, therefore, that the
house did not have enough confidence
in itself to go on record on more
questions than were included in the
provisions of the special rule govern
ing debate on the bill. There does not
appear to be any good reason why
the house should not have voted on
the maximum minimum sections, the
paragraphs increasing the duties on
gloves and hosiery, the inheritance
tax section, the free coal provision
and other paragraphs and sections on
which there were divisions of opinion.
The house of representatives is vested
by the constitution with the exclusive
right to originate revenue bills. 1t
ought to exercise that right intelli-
gently and deliberately, expressing its
opinion on all points at issue and lay
ing a firm foundation for any contest
with the senate on changes in its
plans for taxation. The consideration
of the Payne bill was much more Sc
rious in character ard more fruitful
in results than was the consideration
of the Dingley bill. But it could well
have been more serious and more
fruitful.-New York Tribune

Excellent Opportunity Offered to
Permanent Settlers-Expenses Of
Filing and Settling But Nominal
No Place for Spectators.

One of the most important land
openings yet made on the Umatilla
government project at Hermiston is
to be made this winter, according
to reports from the west end of the
! county. The opening will comprise
90 homesteads of 20 acres each and
some of the best land in the entire
project will be included.
The land which is to be thrown
open is that which is to be watered
by the two mile pipe line now under
construction. This will be completed
soon and as the water will be avail
able next spring the land will be
thrown open to settlement some time
| during the winter, so that the set
tiers may have an opportunity to
clear and level the land and other
wise prepare to receive the water
when it is ready to be delivered.
The land is all high and because of
its elevation it was necessary to irri-
gate it by means of the pipe line.
There will therefore never be any
danger of inundation or need Of
a drainage system. 1t is located from
mile and half to two miles and a
half of the town Of Hermiston and
because of its nearness to town will
be more desirable. .
Judging by the experience of those
e
opening will not offer many oppor-
tunities for the speculator. but for
the bona flde settler it will contain
much of interest. Almost without
exception those who filed on previous
openings with the expectation of SELL
ing their relinquishments have been
sorry they did so while not a single
bona fide homesteader. has regretted
his action.
The total cost of the filing fee. the

much money will be necessary for
the original cash outlay on the part
