MOORHOUSE'S EXHIBIT is
APPRECIATED AT LA GRANDE

Major Lee Moorhouse arrived this
morning and will join Tall Pine, sub
chief of the Umatilla tribe, who has
charge of the famous exhibit up to
the present time. The major has
been working on the present collec-
ton for 90 years and has articles that
are invaluable. Everything that In
dians can use in the way of wearing
apparel is to be found Squaw bon
nets with Hudson bay beads not sold
for so years. war bonnets and the
full list of Indian regalia are in the
collection.
Stories of scalping parties are re-
called by the sight of the scalp of a
Cheyenne chief, which was taken by
an old plainsman. A costly suit be-
longing to the nephew of Old Sitting
Bull, is also historically suggestive

ranges and will soon be placed on the
winter range.
According to Dan P. Smythe, secre-
tary-member of the state board of
sheep commissioners and secretary Of
the state woolgrowers' association
the summer range conditions have
been exceptionally good. He says the
early rains in the foothills have also
been responsible for good range con-
ditions and that as a result the sheep
are coming out of the hills this fall in
exceptionally good condition. There
have been no rains Of consequence
on the winter ranges as yet, however,
and the prospects for good conditions
there are not as bright as the wool
men would like to see. With good
rains within the next few days to de-
velop the winter range the prospects
for eastern oregon sheepmen could
not be brighter.
The past two falls have been ex-
ceedingly dry ones and the growers of
mutton and wool are hoping that this
season will not be repetition of its
two predecessors. The growers are
fairly well prepared, however, and will
probably fare better than in either OF
the two past seasons. Coming out Of
the mountains in better. shape than
usual the sheep will be in better con-
dition to stand a grass shortage dur
ing the winter. Then despite the fact
that hay is higher this fall than it has
been for a number of years every
grower is well supplied with hay suf-
ficient for any ordinary season.

Elmer storie at Oregon.

Elmer Storie of Pendleton returned
to college yesterday hale and hearty
from the eastern oregon wheat fields,
with an avoirdupois of 212 pounds,
net, and was out on the field in foot
ball suit for practice. 1t is very like
" that Storie will make the team, and
If he does this will make the heaviest
line that oregon has had for many
years. With such men as Mitchell,
Bailey, Scott. Pinkham, Giles or Sto-
re in the center of the line, Oregon
can contend with weight with any
western team.-Eugene Register.

That Umatilla county ranges are
capable of turning off as fine beef
cattle as are to be found anywhere in
the country is evidenced by a recent
purchase made by the Central meat
market of ]. S. Cherry of Pilot
Rock. There were 25 head of steers
and heifers in the lot and the five
which were hanging on the hooks in
the shop this morning attracted the
attention of all who passed.

Took Wrong Dolly.

At the close of the recent district
fair someone took dolly which did
not belong to them and the rightful
owner would like very much to re-
cover her property 1t was evidently
the result of mistake and anyone
discovering the dolly in his or her
possession will confer great favor
upon the fair management as well
as the owner by delivering it to Mrs.
Lee Teutsch.

Harold Warner Honored.

Harold Warner, who entered the
University of oregon this fall, has
been recently elected manager of the
freshman track team of that institu-
ton. This is considered quite an i'm
portant position as meets are usually
held with several academic teams and
this office is usually stepping stone
to higher honors.
Warner has also been appointed a
member of the committee to arrange
for the annual freshman acquaintance
party which is always a redletter
function.

Gold Fish in New Home.

The large colony of gold fish in the
st. George restaurant are desporting
themselves in a new home today. The
former fountain proved too small for
the recently enlarged fish family and
consequently a new case was ordered
from the Pendleton planning mills and
has now been installed. 1t is made
with quarter sawed oak frame with
plate glass sides and extends entirely
across the large plate glass window.

THE MOVEMENT FOR UNI.

Uniformity of legislation governing
child labor, divorce, foods, and other

created committee of the National
Civic Federation. The selection of John

committee is a guarantee that it will
be a body of practicians rather than
theorists
Mr.. Hammond has a scheme of or

HIGH TIME TO CLEAN UP THE
BUSINESS.

If the brewers and wholesale and
retail dealers had realized ten years
ago how deeply a large number of
people resented eyasions of law in the
conduct of the traffic, its interference
with politics and it's close alliance with
the political powers that happened to
be on top, and lad sought to avert the
suspicion with which the business was
coming TO be regarded, much of the
present and result producing dislike for
it would have been avoided.
The trouble was that there did not
seem to be the slightest idea on the
part of many liquor dealers and saloon
keepers there could ever be any serious
interference with the trade. Every
city had its Joints" and its dives"
which sold liquor throughout the TWEEN
ty-four hours, Sunday and week days.
Minors were permitted TO buy vile
stuff to drink and the habitual drunk
ard was as welcome as anybody else.
The whole business was demoralized.
run for one thing only, and that was
the money that could be made out
of it.
This was the condition that gradu-
ally made it so difficult for people who
are not teetotalers and who think
local option and prohibition laws an
infringement upon personal liberty TO
argue against the necessity of adopting
some means of checking the growth of
national evil. How could the tenn
perate drinker say there was no harm
in the business of selling liquor when
he saw evidences all about him that
there wasg Persons who believe that
prohibitory laws are not wise and do
not achieve the, result at which they
aim have been estopped from arguing
to that effect by the open and con
tinuous evasions of law by that class
of liquor dealers which cared for moth
ing except the dollar that was in sight.
1t was high time for the respectable
element engaged in the traffic TO take
concerted effort to show that it not
only does not sympathize with the bad
element, but that it is ready and will
ing to help put it out of business. The
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Associations
have done nothing better calculated TO
serve the interests of their members
than to go before the liquor license
boards and urge that hotel licenses be
taken away from hotels that have been
shown TO be hostelries merely for the
purpose of evauing the law against
selling liquor after certain hours. And
liquor license boards can do nothing
that will help the cause of temperance
more or that will rebound more TO the
benefit of the decent saloOnkeeper than
to refuse hotel licenses 10 places that

THE PROTECTIVE LEAGUES
CALL FOR RESERVES.

The American Protective Tariff
League has issued a call for the re
serves. The second line of defense OF
the present schedules has been sum
moned to the front. Everybody inter
ested in the tariff is urged To Leave
the office boy in charge of the business,
and go to Washington TO stay till the
tariff is settled"
All this means that the fight is only
just opening, as experienced people
have long realized it would open, about
this time. 1t is plain enough that the
tariff bills draft as made by the Ways
and Means Committee of the House
will serve about the same purpose as
lot of the resolutions which Senators
introduce from time TO time; it will be
a text, a there for talking.
The friends of real revision; the ad-
vocates of wider markets; the people
who would have tariff for the whole
people - producers and consumers
alike; those who want to encourage
reciprocity and good viii instead of
retaliation and distrust in our relations
with other countries, need to take no
tiee of the new situation. Speaker
Cannon, if present indications may be
taken as significant, will continue to
rule in the next House. His tariff
views need not be elucidated here.
They are well understood. On the
Senate side Mr.. Aldrich will remain in
undisputed domination of the Com
mittee on Finance. If out of this
situation revision of the kind the
American people want is to be Sc
cured, it will be only by such an up
rising and demonstration of popular
opinion as has seldom been known.
1t is not easy to understand and
agree with the reasoning which dis
covers that the retention of the Can
non control in the House is necessary in
order to get revision This is the argu-
ment advanced in behalf of the Speak

view of the standpatters, consistent
only with avoiding political cata-

leadership in the Republican party
could be led To believe that cataclysm
is certain if the revision shall not be
effective and downward. The country
is in frame of mind marveIously and

PRINCETON'S PROLEGOMEN-
