A CITY UNDER GROUND.

Well known to European tourists
but passed by most globe trotters-
who in their hurried journey across
seas and continents have no time to
bestow on anything outside of the
beaten tracks-are the salt mines Of
Wieliczka, Galicia, whose origin is lost
in the darkness of the times, while
their history is traced almost 1000
A. D. After being temporarily aban-
doned as a consequence of Tartar in
cursons and the resulting depopula-
tion and mpOverishment of the
country, they were restored during
the reign of Bolesias by immigrating
Hungarian miners. The WielicZka
mines, the history of which is closely
bound up with that of Poland, dur
ing the invasion of the federal troops,
were the scene of many combats un-
til 1772, when after the annexation of
the country by the Austrians, they
were turned over to the new govern
ment in whose control they have re-
mained to the present day.
Apart from their interest to engi-
neers, those mines, however, contain
number of attractions that appeal
to the mind OF ordinary tourists as
keenly as to that of the expert, In
fact they are IN themselves some
kind of underground world, with its
roads, streets, houses and monu-
ments, hewn in the rock salt that
commemorate the art and industry
of bygone ages.
In the light of electric lamps and
Bengal fires, those underground halls,
comprising churches as well as pro-
fame buildings, in their splendor, re-
mind visitors OF the marvels of thou
sand-and- palaces.-Tech-
nical World Magazine.

against maintaining normal school
system, very well. II they vote to sus-
tain but one, or but two, of the pres,
ent schools, alright.
But If the senate will not consent
to this arrangement, surely it will
see its way clear to appropriate mon-
ey to maintain the schools until June.
BY doing SO It VIII save the schools
from the humiliation of relying upon
private subscriptions for support un-
til the close of this school year. The
state is really in honor bound to
the schools until June at
least. Students in the graduating
classes should be allowed to COM
plete their work and receive their di-
plomas In other words, if the legis-
ature is determined to kill the nor
NAL schools it should at least provide
for suitable obsequies.

LUCKY BALDWIN.

The life and achievements of Mat
thias Baldwin. the locomotive build
er, are Philadelphia matters of which
every citizen may well feel pround
and of which every true Philadelphia
an does feel proud. The death of
Mrs. Cecilia Baldwin Darley removes
the last of Baldwins descendants.
And we may consider it a reminder
OF the remarkable man and ingen-
ious character. the fruits of whose
brain is the huge factory at Broad
and Spring Garden streets.
Baldwin's conquest over discour-
aSements and tribulations need not
be recounted here. Every man in
this city has benefited by those con-
quests and profited by the intrepid
character that refused to capitulate
to adversely. The romance OF Bald
wins achievements nevertheless re-
mains to be written.
The last of his blood has gone, but
he remains-not in person but in ef-
feet in the colossal and world-em-
bracing business he established here

THE TENIPTERS.

Do-it-Now and Wait-Awhile,
Both are seeking after you,
Walk beside you mile on mile,
And the lifelong journey through.
Do-It-Now entreats you haste,
Bids you not procrastinate;
Wait-Awhile, with different taste,
Tosses out the idler's bait.
Do-It-Now and Wait-Awhile
Both are bidding for your hand;
As you hesitate they smile,
But suave, polite and bland,
Hasten; do not linger there!"
Wait Awhile says, you will be
Famous, if my way you'll fare"
Do-It-Now and Wait-Awhile!
Day by day they hover nigh;
Day by day on you they smile,
Bid you listen to their cry,
Which do you propose to heed
To which will you make your
vow?
Which for l.fe shall be your creed
Wait-Awhile or Do-It-Now?

This is the time, so people say,
The devil takes a holiday,
And seeks not to lead folks astray
BY any of his wiles.
He's hidden in some unknown spot,
Just where it is we answer not,
But rumors say that it is hot.
And there he sits and smiles.
For thirty some odd days or more
He's shut his heavy iron door,
And for this time he'll not implore
Poor folks to plunge in sin.
His old trade he will not renew
Till grass is green and skies are blue
When Easter bonnets are on view
His business will start in.
It would be wise, though, during Lent
When of your sins you should repent,
Not to be sure the old boy went
Off for a little doze.
He's very foxy, very sly
So on his absence don't rely,
Right now he may be standing by,
In solemn Lenten clothes.

ABOUT THE BOYCOTT.

Among the normal school people of
the state there is much resentment
because of the persistent, vicious
manner in which the Portland Ore
CONAN has bounded the normal
schools. This feeling has caused
many to favor a boycott upon that
paper. 1t is reported that a boycott
is already underway in southern Ore
gon and to an extent at Weston. Fur
thermore, there is strong talk of ex-
tending the boycott to the jobbing
houses of Portland.
This is an unfortunate state of af-
fairs. 1t is too bad that the state
should become divided against itself
and especially that Portland whole
salers should be made to suffer for
the narrow, selfish policy followed
by one of its papers. But it is not
surprising in the least that some re-
taliatory measures should be taken,
The Oregonian has acted abomi-
nably towards the rest of the state.
1t has slandered the normal schools
night and day in hopes of killing them
off so that a central school could be
established near Portland. 1t has
tried to block the betterment of the
portage road, an Improvement that
is for the direct benefit, of shippers
and farmers of eastern oregon. It
has had many slurs for the proposed
branch asylum for eastern Oregon.
1t has opposed all of these things
on the ground of economy. But it
did not oppose the bill that gave the
Lewis & Clarke fair 100000, an
amount almost as great if not equal
to the combined normal school appro-
priations in the history of Oregon.
Nor is the Oregonian opposing the
scheme to remove the capital to Port
land, a move that viii cost the state
several millions of dollars.
All of these things quite naturally
rouse the ire of people who live out
side the city of Portland. The peo-
pie of Oregon do not want this state
turned into a back yard for Portland.
They justly resent the narrow, selfish
attitude of the Oregonian, and since
the Oregonian is a Portland paper
they are inclined to charge the city
with the sins of its morning publica-
ton. They are looking for some way
to strike back and they talk of a boy
colt. This may not be right; nor even
advisable. But sometimes when peo-
pie get mad they do not stop to turn
the other cheek Instead, they strike
back and strike hard, regardless of
the golden rule.

FOR THE NORMAIS.

In a supplement to today's issue of
the East Oregonian the people of
Weston present some arguments in
favor OF the Eastern Oregon normal
school. They are doing this at this
time in hopes of inducing the legis-
lature, at its special session, to pro-
vide funds for maintaining the school
until June, if not longer.
In substance it is claimed that Ore
gon should maintain several small
normals rather than one central
school; that the three present normal
schools will serve the needs of the
state if they are properly supported;
that the affairs of the normal schools
have been badly misrepresented by
their enemies.
That the small normal school plan
is the proper one seems clear. 1t is
the plan that is followed by Sc states
and territories of the union. one state
having as many as 13 normals. 1t
seems peculiar, indeed, that Ithe
small normal school plan should be
in almost universal use if it is not a
good plan.
In Oregon the need of several nor
mails is more pronounced than in
most states. Oregon is geographical
ly divided into three sections, East
ern Oregon, Western Oregon and
Southern Oregon. Each section is a
veritable empire in itself and in many
ways has different interests from the
other portions of the state. Such be-
ing the case it is but natural that
each section desires some recognition
for itself.
That te normal schools have
been badly libeled in the past may
readily be seen by any one who will
take but a moments time for investi-
CATION. 1t has been shown by the
people Of Weston that during the IS
years the Eastern oregon normal has
been in existence the school has re-
oeived but a total Of s174,OOO from
the state of Oregon. For many years
the school was given but $4,000 per
annum and upon two previous occa-
slons t went entirely without state
funds. The other normal schools
have Jared no better. Now, how many
people knew this; did not the major
ity Of people believe the normals were
getting ten times as much money as
they actually received? So persistent
~ have the Portland Oregonian, and
some other papers, mallgned the nor
nal schools that it is not surprising
many good people have become op-
posed to the schools.
That Oregon will never settle its
normal school problem until the state
provides adequate support for two,
4 not three. normal schools Is firm
Iy believed by the East Oregonian.
Furthermore, the sooner the question
is settled upon this basis the better.

TREAT THEM DECENTLY.

II members Of the legislature want
TO deal fairly and honorably with the
normal schools they should provide
for maintaining the schools during
the coming two years and arrange for
the people Of the state TO vote on the
schools at the next state election.
When the legislature was in reg
ular session this plan was proposed,
but In the heat and turmoil Of the
normal school fight It was turned
down by the senate. But It IS not
too late for the senate TO correct its
mistake. At the special session the
senate should agree 10 such prop
osltion. II It will but do 50 the nor
mails may then continue their work
until the people Of the state, repre-
senting the final authority. say what
shall be done II the people vote

until he struck a party of two who
were just investigating. By pointing
to things and taking chances the pair
made a meal of it until they came to
the coffee.
They didn't want small cups. When
they pointed out coffee on the bill of
fare they indicated with their hands
large cups But here the waiter was
equipped with English and meant to
show it,
ooh yes white Coffee" he remarked.
Which was the descriptive phrase
for coffee with cream.-New York

THE FIELD FOR INTERuRsAhs.

CONGRESSMAN W. B. Mckinley Oh
Illinois owns and manages the largest
and most successful interurban system
in the middle west, if not in the coun-
try. Recently he made large invest
ments in Des Moines with view Of
making that city the center of an In
terurban system in this state. In
speaking the other day Of the proper
field and function of irterurbans Mr..
Mckinley said:
"The ideal route for an interurban
to follow is one SO populated that
the protector can figure on an aver
age of 1000 population to the mile
of right of way. This gives the nee
essary class OF country patrons The
first town outside of the large city
from which the line radiates should
b. four or five miles distant and
should have population of say /,
600. Then four or five miles further
along there should be town o.
about the same size, or little small
er. Following this arrangement tht
| first city of 5000 to 10000 should be-
twenty miles distant. In this way tht
patronage of passengers from on,

AN oeLleIne CONDUCTOR.

The. Chicago & Northwestern rail-
way company has in its employ an ex-
ceptionally obliging conductor, if a
dispatch from Huron, s. D., is worthy
of credence. His name Is Chambers
and he had in charge an excursion
train which carried 1 ZOO passengers to
Rapid City and return. The dispatch
tells how he met an emergency and
made himself popular, in these words:
At point some miles east of Rapid
City the train made stop. 1t was
discovered that in the party were
eighteen mothers with infant chill
dren, four OF whom were minus sup.
ply of milk and none could be pur-
chased at the station. Conductors
Chambers took his dinner pail, went
to pasture some distance away and
soon returned with the pail filled
with rich milk, which he secured from
a grazing bovine The supply was dis
tributed among the children and the
train moved on to Ms destination
everybody rejoicing in the thoughtful-
ness of the obliging conductor.

While in Des Moinese the other day
Congressman William B. Mckinley de-
cIared that he always gets along
famously with newspaper men, and he
illustrated his feelings toward them by
telling story involving Uncle Joe
Cannon, speaker OF the house. 1t seems
that some one complained to Uncle
Joe that a friend had violated con-
fidence. "Why, he was my best friend, :
declared the complainant. Il never
thought he would betray personal
confidence Uncle Joe is said to have
grinned quizically, pushed his cigar to
higher angle and said slowly:
Look here. you have not formed
the right kind Of conidants. You
ought to cultivate the newspaper boys
tell them everything you know and
then ask them not to print that part
you want kept under cover. In that
way, IL you have any secrets to tell
you will be safe. They will never
give. you away"
Mr.. Mckinley said that this Illus
trated his attitude toward the news
paper fraternity He declared that he
had never had one of them OF any
standing whatever violate conf
dence that he had given him, and ths
man who criticises the young men il
the journalistic field have quarrel OF
hand with him, for they are hi
friends.
