Jastro. cit was confidently expected
that the extra time would prevent
many unnecessary unloadingS, and
enable us to get our livestock to
destination in much better condition
and with much less hardship and suf-
fering to the stock. Contrary to their
promises, the railroads have simply
consumed the additional time between
their usual stopping places by handl-
ing the livestock at a lesser rate of
speed, so that almost as many un-
loadings are necessary today as under
the Old law.
"The railroads are now contcsting in
the courts the Nebraska speed mini
mum law, and upon the request of the
Nebraska Stock Growers association
this association is assisting in a de-
Tense of that law. Unquestionably it
lies within the. power of the states
to prescribe a speed minimum, as we'll
as to fix rates. We pay the railroads
for good service, and they should be
compelled to furnish it.

United States TO make reciprocal trade
agreements with other nations so az
to secure the admission of our live
stock and meat food products to CON
tinental Europe, where they are now
practically barred out by reason of
%prohibitory duties. A reduction of the
duty on hides is also favored.
Every once in a while we hear a
general clamor from the consumers
about the high price and scarcity of
meat. AS a matter of fact. meat is
not high in this country. and there is
no scarcity. The great trouble is that
too man Americans want only the
choicest cuts, and as a meat animal
has only a small percentage of these
portions, necessarily they sell at a
considerable premium"
The work of the department of agri-
culture in stamping out disease among
livestock was commended by President
Jastro, who, in conclusion. paid a tri-
butte to the other officers Of the as
ISOLATION.
About $50 delegates were present,

MANLY TRAINING OF GIRLS.

Our training of girls approaches
close to the idiotic. The average girl
from the minute she leaves her dolls
to go to kindergarten. till she ma
triculates at college, is told about men
and mems work-never about women
The kindergarten songs and tales are
about Lincoln and Washington-and
even the pictures of animals show the
lion and forget the lioness. In older
childhood she is taught to build sand
forts instead of good fashioned
mud pies. and even the sums in arith-
metic dwell on "Billy's" marbles and
Johns" apples, to the total neglect
of his sister.
Later still she goes to high school
and learns history with all its ideals
of brave men-and here again the
womans share of quiet courage is
completely overshadowed. She learns
carpentering. she cannot cook an egg
or sew a seam. And finally her edu-
cation finished, she knows all about
the higher mathematics and is Short
changed by the butcher. She learns
political economy but doesn't know
who are the members of her own
school board.-Woman's Home Com
panion.

THE LORD HE SERVED.

Judge George F.. Lawton of the
Middlesex probate court told me a
story the other day of an American
minister who was spending his sab
batical year travelling abroad. Arriv-
ing in London, he made every effort
to get an intimate view Of the two
branches of parliament in session. OF
course, no stranger is allowed on the
floor of the house of lords, but the
minister not knowing this and with
the usual amount of American push
tried to make his way in. There is a
rule, however that servants of the
various lords may be admitted to
speak to their masters. Seeing the
minister walking boldly in, the door,
keeper asked:
What lord do you serve?"
What lord?" repeated the aston
ished American, "the Lord Jehovah!"
For moment the doorkeeper hesi-
tated and then admitted him. Turn
ing to an assistant standing near, he
said:
"He must mean one of those Door
Scotch lairds." Record.

PREPARE FOR THEM.

On the 22nd of this month the
grand lodge of Oregon, Knights of
Pythias, will meet in this city AIso
the grand temple, Pythian Sisters. For
these sessions several hundred men
and women will be in the city for two
or three days.
These people are coming to PEN
dleton as the result of an invitation is
sued by local Knights of Pythias last
June. 1t has been customary for the
grand lodge to meet in Portland which
is more convenient point for the en-
tire state than is Pendleton. But at
the last session of the grand lodge
the Pendleton representatives per-
suaded their brothers that the next
annual gathering should be held in
eastern Oregon and in this city.
So it will be up to Pendleton to care
for the Pythians and their wives when
they come here. OF course most of
the work of entertaining win be done
by the local Knights of Pythias. But
others may do much to make the
grand lodge session enjoyable. BY
decorating their store fronts with the
emblem or the colors of the order
merchants can show their appreciation
OF the honor that the grand lodge is
showing Pendleton by meeting here.
Then when the visitors are In the city
they should be treated with all the
hospitality possible.
The Pythians will soon be here.
Get ready for them.

summer. The outlook is very crafty
ing, especially since there is danger
that because of lack of the normal
rainfall there may not be normal
yield.
But the excellent prices now prevail
ing may in the end prove less of a
blessing for present wheatgrowers
than one would suppose. 1t is a mat
ter of history that when exceptionally
high prices prevail the wheat raising
acreage is at once increased. This
was true with respects to the Letter
corner of 1898. According to the re-
ports of the department of agriculture
the average acreage in the United
States, for the three years preceding
1898 was S6,OOO,OOO. The average for
the three years following 1898 was
45,0OO,O0O acres. During the last
named three years wheat was abund-
ant and prices We're low in accord
ance.
1t is predicted by some men who
have made a study of the wheat bust
ness that the high prices now pre-
vailing will have the effect of increas-
ing the future acreage In the United
States the acreage may not be greatly
changed, but in other portions of the
world there is much room for change.
The Canadian northwest is capable of
raising more wheat than at present.
So is Siberia where only about five
per cent of the arabic land is now be-
ing cultivated. Manchura also is fast
becoming a great wheat growing en-
pire. In some other portions of the
world, as in Germany, more wheat is
being raised than previously as a re-
suit of more scientific farming. The
present high price will stimulate such
farmers to raise every bushel of wheat
possible.
As a result of all of this the price
of wheat will go down. Then the
man who has been figuring on a con-
tinuance of present conditions will get
left. The wise farmer will look for
the decline and will fortify himself by
tilling his land better than ever so as
to ensure better yield or else he will
endeavor to raise something else al
ong with wheat. 1t would be better
for the country if he would try the
latter course.

WHY THEY reEponNArE.

The French predominance in Que
bee, then, is based upon something
more sensible than sentiment; it is
founded upon the possession of the
coin, the control of the banks, the
ownership of steamships-and these
are backed by a resistless tide of
French immigration, coupled by q
rising birth rate which eliminates all
doubts as to the racial future of the
province. In political and CONNER
cial possession of two such cities as
Quebec and Montreal, racial pride
and self-interest will stimulate the
tendency to maintain the racial soli-
darity, Newer France gave Laurier
to the Dominion of Canada, and the
constructive policies which he has in
augurated have won the approval of
the whole people for the genius of
this man as a premier.
Thus the French in Quebec are
making good both from the stand
point of quality and quantity. Did
not Laurier affect that compromise
whereby under governmental
ownership the Grand Trunk Pacific
will bring the wheat of the Yankee
settlers down TO the elevators of Mon
treal, there to be subjected to the
tolls of the French exporters before
being received abroad the European
bound steamers?
And did not French Quebec, a
veritable paradox of racial problems,
furnish the sagacious Lemineaux,
who journeyed to Toxic to arrange
with the government of Japan an
agreement designed to protect the
English settlers of Alberta and Brit
ish Columbia from the contamination

TRAINING ARMY MULES.

Horse and mule men at the stock
yards stood in admiration yesterday
afternoon while the soldiers of Bat
teries A and B, Second United States
artillery, under Lieutenant r. o. Ma
son, loaded 13 cars of mules in 25
minutes. 1t was a new record on the
loading docks, and it wasn't accom-
plished by any unusual methods,
either. Nor was the mule drivers vo-
cabulary resorted to. How did they
do it? The lieutenant simply called
the roll and the mules responded to
their names.
Niger" called an officer, and a
little black gun mule ambled up.

IT Is REGRETTED.

Secretary Ballinger has refused to
intercede in behalf of Major McFat-
ridge and the latter must leave the
Umatilla agency, according to infor-
nation from Washington. 1t was
scarcely expected that the secretary
would act differently. 1t was but nat
ural for him to uphold his acting
commissioner of Indian affairs, es-
pecially since in a technical sense at
least Mr.. Valentines position seemed
sound.
But as matter of fact the Indian
department has acted abomniably in
this matter. If Major McFatridge was
relieved for the reason ascribed then
there is need of further changes in
the Indian service, possibly a change
in the man at the head of the bureau.
Major McFatridge was transferred
because he wrote a letter explaining
the character of a man who had form
erly been under him. He thought the
fellow was out of the service and he
wanted to keep him out. He consid-
cred the man as being dishonest and
a moral reprobate. Incidentally that
is the reputation that the former clerk
McManus, left in this city. Men who
should be informed say his reputation
was well deserved.
But because he pictured this fellow
in his true colors, an act that was en-
tirely for the good of the Indian SER
vice, Major McFatridge unconsciously
violated Instructions. For doing so
he has been relieved from position
which he had been filling with re-
markable success. The people OF
Pendleton and of this vicinity regret
the matter because Major McFatridge
was a very satisfactory agent. He had
acquired the reputation Of being both
capable and honest. These qualifica.
tions unfortunately, have not always
been possessed by men whom the gov
ernment has sent here in the past. The
sort of man who will be sent to fill
the vacancy is purely matter Of spec.
ulation. This uncertainty is exactl!
what the white renters and the mer
chants of the city do not like. The!
have much at stake upon the reserva
tion and they want to know that res
ervation affairs will be administered
in capable, consistent and impartia
manner. They believed they were get
ting such an administration througl
Major McFatridge and are sorry tha
he has been removed as result o
what seems like pure officiousness o.
the part of the acting commissions
Of Indian affairs.

WHY HE GOT MARRIED.

A $900-per-annum clerk in one Of
Uncle Sans departments at Wash
lngton was recently approached by a
co-worker, who asked If it were true,
as rumor had it, that the 5000 person
was about to marry.
"It is," was the laconic response.
Surely, old man." said the other
with that freedom permitted an inti-
mate friend, you don't think that
your present income would justify
you in taking a wife?"
ITO be perfectly frank" said the
other, II do not"
"Then what on earth can be your
reason for taking this serious step?"
"I have no reason" was the calm
response. "I am in love. ."-Lippin-

from typhoid fever ,sscarlet fever, diph-

smallpox, and cancer all put together.
