the summer months tired humanity
may enjoy the salubrious breezes and

This tract. consisting of twenty-five
acres, was purchased for the sum of
$4,000. After much acrimonious dis
cussion, ordinations and recrimin
ations, talk of bribery and the usual
waste of what passes with them for
gray matter, in addition to about ST.
900 of the peoples money for plans and
specifications, which are likely never to
be used, the astute board of aldermen
have resolved" to draw up plans and
specifications out of their own heads.
whatever the result may be they Will
put about $25 900 in circulation during
the summer The contracts for sewers
and water pipes has already been let.
and the concrete building, black dirt,
etc. will probably come along with the
course of the summer.
There has been some talk of filter
ing plant for the water supply, and
although many are in favor of going
ahead with such a work Immediately
there is small chance of anything be-
ing done this year.
The city council. which unfortun-
ately cannot attend to more than one
thing at a time. promises to start on
the paving question as soon as the park
matter has been settled Fischrupp
avenue is to be paved with brick. as is
also One Hundred and Seventeenth

the Lake Front Park. There will in
all probability be other streets apply

up as this end. beginning at One Hun

The real estate dealers of this city
are very optimistic. There will be
considerable building done this year,
the most important to date being the
erection of a new technical high school
and also the Sacred Heart edifice.
The new high school will be on DIV
er street, between the manual training
school and the public library. on a
tract of six lots, which were purchased
at the cost of S5.40O.

transfer was made to the Potter Pal

valued at $750,000, while a subsequent
transfer to the Mccormick estate,

END OF THE FARCE.

At last the tariff revision farce is
over Though the curtain is not ye,
down the plot is finished and the fl,
male is being staged. For political
purposes the closing tableau viii!
show the president as the central
figure and he will appear as the
strong men who in behalf of the peo-
pie forced a revision downward.
But It is a farce and everybody
knows it. Instead of being a re-
vision downward, as the republican
platform promised and as Taft and
all the other party leaders promised
last fall, the tariff has been revised
upward. According to the figures or
Champ Clark, the minority leader in
the house, the Aldrlch-Payne bill will
provide a tariff that is 1.7S per cent
higher than the Dingley tariff.
From one end of the country TO the
other there is dissatisfaction over the
way the tariff has been juggled. So
great was the dissatisfaction in the
house that the conference report was
adopted by a majority of but IL,
though the republicans have a ma
jorlty in the house Of 81. When the
house voted upon the conference re-
port 20 republicans voted against it.
Had seven more done so the report
would have been defeated.
In the work upon the new tariff
bill Senator Aldrich has been the
dictator. His object first, last and
all the time has been to protect the
few at the expense Of the many. He
has sacrificed the humble consumer
for the sake Of the millionaire manu-
facturer. The home builder has been
jobbed for the benefit Of the multi
nilllOnaires who have gobbled up
the timber lands Of the country. The
newspspers and other paper users Of
the country have been betrayed for
the sake Of the paper trust holding
forth in the state Of Maine. The same
line Of action was followed through
out The tariff was not revised for
the benefit Of the public but in be-
half Of the special interests which for
years have profited immensely at the
expense Of the people.
The tariff has been revised by its
friends"

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The suggestion of Federal Judge r.
5. Bean that the appropriation for the
federal building be increased so as to
provide for a federal court room is
very timely. Now that the United
States court is to hold sessions in Pen.
dleton the government certainly should
provide a federal court room. or
course the circuit court room, in the
court house may be used by the fed
eral court, as it is by the supreme
court at the eastern oregon session.
But it would be far better in every
way for the federal court to have
permanent quarters in the federal
building. With regular quarters in
the government building the court
could then hold its sessions independ-
ent of other courts and there would
be no conflicts.
Judge Bean believes that arrange
ments may be made for a court room
in the postofflce building. Since the
building has not yet been started\ it
appears that the extra rooms may be
provided without great difficulty The
architects should plan a building suf-
ficient for the needs Of the post Of
flee, the federal court and the other
federal men who are stationed here.
Should the present appropriation not
be sufficient the court room should be
provided anyway and a deficiency ap,
secured at the session
next winter.
