Train Service.

At 10 o'clock this morning Pendle-
ton was treated TO a novelty in the
form of a passenger train from the
west, 1t was Sunday evenings No. G.,
which left Portland at q d. m. Sur
day. It was Il hours making the run
to this city.
For this evening two trains are
promised from Portland, According
to the latest advices received this af-
ternoon by Ticket Agent Miller, the
first section should arrive here at
6:25 and the second train at some
time later in the evening. The train
in the lead is No 2, which left Port
land yesterday morning, while the sec
ond train now coming is No. 2, which
left Portland this morning.
No. from the east is slated to ar
rive here at 5:25 this evening. The
local trains to and from Portland are
annulled and the local trains to and
from Walla Walla are likewise called
off No. 8, for Spokane, left at 1890
today.
Had Hard Trip.
On board the train that arrived here
this morning was Frank j. O.Donnell,
advance agent for the Babes in Toy
land" company, which play is sched-
uled to play here next Monday eve
ming.
According to O'Donnell the train
became stalled at Bridal Veil and six
engines were used to take the train
to Cascade Locks, from which point
four engines did the work When the
train had gotten through the worst
Of the trouble it was then left with a
single engine, which proved unequal
to the occasion. However, it bowled
along by degrees, making long stops
at The Dalles, Umatilla and other
places

Relief for Supreme Court.
The supreme court as at present
constituted was organized 20 years
ago. Since that time the population
of the state has more than doubled
and the business of the court is more
than four times as great as it was
when it was. organized Temporary
relief was granted at the last session
of the legislature by the creation of a
commission, and that commission will
scon expire by limitation unless the
law providing therefor is re-enacted
by the present legislature. There are
two ways to relieve the court of the
work which it is impossible for three
justices to perform First, by the ad-
dition of new justices; second, by the
creation of a commission.
The best way, because it is the di-
rect and honest way to do, is to pro-
vide by law for the addition of at least
two new justices. Can this be done?
No rule is more clearly established
than that a constitution of a state is
a limitation and not a grant of power,
from which it follows that a legisla-
ture may enact any law not expressly
or impliedly inhibited by the consti-
tuition. The question, then. with
which you are confrontd in determine
ing whether you have the power to
add more justices to the supreme court
must be tested by this rule, in respect
to which it is necessary to its solution
only to determine whether the consti-
tuition of this state limits the num-
Der Of justices to constitute the su-
preme court and if so, to what num-
Der.
National and State Experiment Station
Some time ago the citizens of Una
tilla county undertook to have the
branch of the interior de-
partment establish an experiment and
demonstration farm at some point on |
The Umatilla irrigation project. and |
finally, after the matter was again !
aiken up by President ". j. Kerr OF
he Oregon agricultural station, the
secretary of the interior, following out
he suggestion Of President Kerr for /
cooperation, agreed upon this plan. /
On the 21st day Of November, 1908, !
he secretary wrote President Kerr /
hat he had authorized the use Of $3,-
800 Of the reclamation fund for pro-
riding permanent improvements and .
equipment for demonstration farm
IN the project mentioned, and had
iirected that the preparation Of the
arm be undertaken and carried to
as soon as possible. This

That farmers who are urging the
county court to re-establis the Wild
Horse road in the valley instead of al
lowing it to continue in its present To-
cation over the hill, are mistaken in
some of their statements at least, is
the opinion of the members of the
county court who studied the question
carefully from every standpoint be-
fore making the change.
In the opinion of the county court,
which has had considerable expert
ence in that line, the cost of building
the rock wall which would have been
necessary to protect the road in its
old location, would have cost fully
five. times as much as it did to make
the change which was made. 1t is

action, however he announced, was
taken by him with the understanding
that an earnest effort wolld be made
to secure authority and, funds from
the legislature TO maintain and oper-
ate this demonstration farm in the in
terest of settlers.
The importance OF this work will
be better appreciated when It is re-
membered that there are thousands
of homes being established on irrigat-
ed lands by settlers who know moth
ing of irrigation or the possibilities of
the land upon which water has been
placed Most of the lands embraced
within the several irrigation projects
whether federal or private construc-
tion, are of the same character and
governed by the same conditions, and
experimental farming on the Umatilla
project will serve as an object lesson
for other districts.

sideration, and trust the legislature
will not let this opportunity pass for

Conclusion.
In conclusion. gentlemen, permit
me to express the hope that you may
approach the duties incumbent on you
in a spirit of compromise and patriot
ism. All legislation is the result of
compromise, because men are so con-
stituted by nature as to differ some
times essentially on questions that vi
tally affect the public welfare. Upon
one thing we are all agreed, we love
this magnificent commonwealth and
its institutions, and however much we
may differ on non-essentials, we are
agreed that we only want to do those
things which will be productive Of the
greatest good for the greatest num-
ber
1 promise you that will, with the
help of Him who doeth all things well,
assist you as best l can in the dis
charge of our mutual obligations 20

wants We all are.

A HUMANE WORK.

During the meeting Of the medical
association at Atlantic City. a sugges-
ton was made that the women physi-
clans Of New York and other towns
Of the north should cooperate in the
work Of teaching the poor to avoid dis
ease. says the Florida Times-U Union.
Thus and individual work has be-
come one Of strength and union. The
physicians Of the female persuasion
have already begun at their, humane
task, and the poor. infected children
Of the crowded quarters will be saved
by It. The great PHILANTHROPY Of this
movement can scarce be weighed I'M

rance and the disease that reign over
the tenement districts Of New York.

Of women can be better teachers Of

Pipes from the furnace to the upper
rooms must be as nearly perpendicu-
lar as possible, so that each room in
the house may receive both heat and
ventilation from the furnace, with the
exception Of the kitchen.
With this arrangement q small fur
mace that would burn six or eight tons
of coal during the winter would keep
the whole house comfortable every
day with a little help from the crate
and the warmth from the kitchen.
The warmth from the kitchen is
more valuable than is generally real.

more coal to raise the temperature in

30 to so degrees. 1t requires very
little fire in the furnace to keep the

show that So degrees is as comfort

narily from furnace heat when no wa
ter is being evaporated. Most fur
naces are provided with water tank
for this purpose, but it is often
neglected and allowed to remain dry
for hours and days. For this reason

house warmers we have. Moist air

The extra dryness of twice-heated

The state Of Oregon has q unique
game law. The last legislature passed
an act making 1t a misdemeanor for
hunter to kill a deer that was being
chased by dogs, but at the same time
put in proviso that prevents The
ranchers from killing the dogs that
chase the deer. 1t is claimed that
hounds protect the deer by chasing
them. This is the way 1t is explained
in Oregon. Hounds will rarely run a
deer down and kill it themselves, and
unless some hunter shoots 1t, the deer
viii escape. But while the hounds are
loose they will clear the woods of the
animals that prey upon the deer. In
the spring a wildcat will kill nine or
ten fawns to feed its kittens, and the
number Of wildcats is SO great that
they destroy more deer than hunt
ers do.
