THE WORK OF ONE RIVER.

The hardest working river, the one
most thoroughly harnessed to the mill
wheels of labor in the United States
probably in the world, is the Black
stone. 1t is not a large river, either
Its drainage area is only about ass
square miles and in its power-pro-
ducing section it is only forty-thr
miles long; a very Tom Thumb of
river as rivers go in America. Yet
the doughty little stream produces
$4,000 horsepower, fifty for every
square mile of its drainage area. If
you will figure out this amount of
horsepower in terms of coal you will
find that the busy little stream rep
resents a capitalization of about $685.
100000. This is twice the developed
horsepower Of any other important
river.
Almost a hundred mills, catching
with their whirling turbines its wa

for votes. 1t is a position that should
be filled by man who is free to do
fhis duty as he finds it regardless of
who may be injured by his action. Fur
thermore he should be a specialist.
Now in Oregon there is a state board
OF health to which body is intrusted
the general supervision of the sani-
tary conditions of the state. Yet un-
der the peculiar makeshift arrange
ment now in force the state board has
no power at all where it should be
all powerful. The food and dairy
commissioner is an elective officer and
he has only laughed when the physici-
ans have suggested that he do his
duty.
As a matter of fact the food and
dairy commissioner should be appoint
ed by the state health board and his
position should depend upon vigor-
Gus, effective performance of his duty
not upon "blarneying" the dairymen.
Il would be safe to leave the selection
Of a commissioner to the health board
because the members of the board,
being trained men themselves, would
be able to judge of the fitness of ,neir
appointee and to judge of the work
done by him.
offices that are of political nature
such as governor, senator or con-
gressmen, should be elected by popu-
lar vote. But offices that require
special training, such as the food and
dairy commissioner and the state
printer should be appointive. The
people cannot be expected to pass in
telligently upon the merits of cnem-
ist about whose business they know
but little or about the merits of a
printer of whom they have never
heard.

SAVE THE RESOURCES FIRST.

The story from Washington telling
of the CLAWS report upon the Alaska
coal cases, and which was published
in full in the East Oregonian yester-
day, looks bad for Secretary Ballin-
ger. The story tells of the enormous
coal beds in Alaska and of the efforts
OF the Guggenheim syndicate to ac-
quire control of this latent wealth
Special Inspector CLAWS was the
stumbling block in their way. He
was of the Roosevelt-Garfield regime
and he sought to protect the public
rather than the Guggenheims. That
was the Roosevelt idea.
But Secretary Ballinger is of a diff
ferent type. Instead of acting as
trustee for the people he seems to feel
i, his duty to help corporate inter-
ests acquire control of the natural re-
sources as quickly as possible. He
showed a great desire to hasten the
Alaska coal claims despite the fact
that the coal had been in Alaska for
centuries and was in no danger of
spelling. He said the claims were
legally correct.
Anti-conservationist papers now de-
clare that President Taft too is OPP
posed to the idea of conservation held
by Roosevelt. They say Roosevelt
went too far and that in his zeal in
behalf of the people he had his de-
partment encroach upon the rights of
congress. Taft it is said will wait for
congress to make laws providing for
the conservation of resources. The
president wont handle the situation
himself as Roosevelt did.
But If this is the case we may kiss
good bye to what is left in the way of
natural resources. If the conservation
movement is to be turned over to such |
men as Aldrich, Elkins Cannon and |
Payne we know what will happen to |
IT, They are representatives Of the
trusts, not of the public and to turn |
the conservation movement over to
them without reserve would be giving |
the keys Of the safe to the brigands. |
If President Taft wants to prove
himself a true heir of Roosevelt he
will save the natural resources that |
are left and have the laws made after
wards. II he waits until the laws
are made there will be nothing left |
to save.

HER PATHWAY.

So sweet a path it is that I
And all the flowers love it;
The gracious golden rod sways nigh
The asters bend above it.
In ruby or in golden cup
Its name the lichen pledges.
And crimson-berried vines creep up
Bejeweling its edges.
The bees and crickets sing its songs,
The shadows kiss it lightly,
While butterflies in golden throngs
Fit up and down it brightly.
And little pines with joyous frown
Try here and there to hide IL.
Lest falling stars should hasten down
40 WOO it if they spied it.
And l, too, fain would keep its way
Safe hidden midst the grasses
Sweet path, dear path, down when
each day
My little true love passes.

tury Magazine.

SHOULD BE APPoINTIVE.

Many months ago the East Ore
gonian declared the offices of state
food and dairy commissioner and Of
state printer should be appointive
rather than elective. 1t now renews
the suggestion and contends that the
positions should be appointive for the
reason that both offices require train
ed specialists rather than politicians.

Bailey, for instance. To inspect the

HEALTHY PLANTS
Require the Most Careful Attention ak
Well AZ Good Soil.

Did you ever see a rosebush which
despite the most benehcent environment
Of soil-of sunshine-and of atmosphere,
seemed never to achieve a healthy
growth.
A ton Of manure will not help a plant
that has a canker eating out its heart.
You must destroy the cause before you
can remove the effect.
You cannot cure Dandruff and Bald
ness by rubbing on hair lotions, and
rubbing in vaseline, etc.
You must look to the cause Of the
trouble-it's a germ at the roots of
your hair which causes It to fall out.
Newbro's Herpicide destroys the germ,
and healthy hair is the sure result.

HUMAN SNAKES.

That was a terrible crime commit
ted at Utica yesterday when members
Of an Italian BLACK hand" society
killed three little children whom they
had kidnapped. 1t was a crime that
smacks of the old country, not of this
land of liberty and enlightenment,
Such crimes as that are committed
only by beings who have sprung from
the Shiny depths of the old worlds
decaying civilization. Americans and
American born people of foreign des-
cent do not belong to BLACK hand"
societies.
For those who commit such crimes
as that at Utica there is no punish
ment sufficiently severe. 70 hang
such people would be treating them
gently and with too much considera-
tion. 1t would be more salutary 70
treat the guilty ones as the citizens
of New Orleans once treated same
members of the malta. Crimes by the
BLACK hand" are becoming entirely
too frequent. They should be cleaned
out, one and all and in dealing with
them the officers should deal as they
would with snakes.

"THE CALL OF THE WILD"

How loudly calls the wilderness,
There's many a man can tell,
Though in city's busy life,
For long years he may dwell.
But in his heart, so sweet and clear
He hears the restless sea,
Or feels the forest atmosphere,
Forever wild and free.
Beyond the touch of counting-house,
Beyond the clink of gold,
The wilderness still calls him home
Her beauty to unfold.

given Smediey every opportunity to

for Smedley to make a bond OF

F aithfui Wife FoHosOs

This morning, when the outskirts of
Paducah were reached, the horse fell
BY the roadside from exhaustion. Mrs.
Wright unhitched the horse and left
Il in the road. while they continued
the trip with the mule hitched to the
wagon It was a pltiful sight to see
the woman driving down the street
with the one mule, holding her child
in her arms.
After the visit to her husband she
went to wagon yard and sold her
outfit. and will use the money for
transportation to her home near
Nashville. Wright was indicted by
the grand jury this morning.
The woman received the sympathy
Of the county officials. The woman

til nearly noon.
