 MORE ABOUT ENTRIES-There are still some women who are con- fused about the plans for making en- tries in the woman's department of the territorial fair. and the facts are therefore published again. On the morning of November 1 a representa- tive of the woman's building will be stationed in the office of the fair in the Hotel Adams to receive entries of exhibits, but not the exhibits them selves. This arrangement will con tinue until the night of Thursday, November 4th. On Friday and Satur- day, November 9th and 9th, the women of the department will be at the fair grounds for the purpose of receiving exhibits previously entered, as well as the entering and receiving of additional exhibits. All exhibits must be entered and brought to the fair ground by the evening of Satur- day, November 6. in order to get the display ready for opening the follow ing Monday. That rule goes with the single exception of the cooked food exhibits. which may be brought on Monday To make it more plain. the entering of exhibits in the woman's department does not close on Novem- Der 1st. as it does in some of the other departments. but will continue during ' all of next week.

GOOD GRACE.

The new freight rates, ordered by
the state commission because of the
complaint by the Enterprise Com

last Thursday, August 5, and mean
reduction on all incoming freight
from Portland or elsewhere in Oregon
OF from 10 to Is per cent, according
to classes and towns. The reduction
TO Joseph and Enterprise is much
larger than to Wallowa, because
more of local rate was knocked off,
but Eia.e is a substantial reduction
to Wallowa.
Formerly the first class rate Port

sl.53 per cwt. To Enterprise it was
formerly $1.79, now it is $1.57 or
but 4 cents more than to Wallowa.

MAN IN VALLEY
w. E. CURTIS GREATEST OF
TRAVEL WRITERS VISITS
WALLOWA LAKE.

w. E. Curtis, the premier news
paper correspondent of the world, was
in Wallowa Valley Tuesday afternoon
and night. He came in Geleral
Passenger Agent McMurray's private
car attached to the regular train,
visited Wa!lowa Lake, and went out
Wednesday morning. He was accom-
panied by Mrs. Curtis and their
daughter.
Mr.. Curtis is the greatest traveller
and writer of travels in the world
today. For over score of years his
daily letters on the first page of the
Chicago Record, and since the con-
solidation, of the Chicago Record
Herald, has been eagerly watched for
by hundreds of thousands of people.
He speaks daily in a personal sense
to the largest and mcst intelligent
audience of any writer In the world.
His letters are the making" of any
scene of natural beauty that he choos.

Crater Lake made that greatest of
natural wonders known to the world
AS word painter he has no equal,
yet his letters are remarkable as
Stevenson's work, for their clear,
limpid. elegant style.
So it can be understood that the
visit of Mr.. Curtis is one Of the
greatest pieces of good luck that
has happened to this beautiful val
ley, whose treasures have SO long
been hidden by it's cloak of isolation.

statesman to draw closer together
the republics Of North, South and
Central America, and was secretary
of the Bureau Of American Republics.
He has written many books of big
circulation and Is the intimate and
doubtless the confident of more of
the great and powerful of earth than
any other one man. He enjoys a
princely salary and is a free lance

voluntary one, to write a letter a

ing" in Libraries.

Charles Lamb taught that an ideal
way to educate a girl would be to turn
her loose in a library and let her
browse" at will. That would depend
much upon the kind of a library and
the kind of a girl, says Mrs. Edwin
Markham, in the May Designer. But
on the whole it seems to me that such
free range would fall under the cate
CORY OF dangerous things, not because
OF the little learning that might
accrue to the young girl, but because
of the thistle and the darnel that she
might unwittingly gather with the
ripe corn in the a that should be her
golden harvest.
1t is conceivable that a young girl
left to her ownw judgment might for
tuitously select from a library a
course of reading that would make her
a cultivated woman; but a little wise
direction would save her much waste
and damage. The greatest advantage
of a college course is the massing and
relating of knowledge, the pointing out
OF the head lands and mountain peaks
OF the worlds wisdom. the gaining of
the vantage-point where one can meas
ure what she knows, and see what
she must surmount, in order to get
the large view that the college is
supposed to give; and this comprehen-
sive outlook is what the self educated
often fail to gain.
Not every girl has the Charles
Lamb library and the leisure to
browse" in it. Not every girl has
the time and money for a college
course. But there is no girl who can
read who may not, by wise appli-
cation, or systematic industry. get for
her self the essence of these fine
things; and there is no mother who
can not aid her daughter toward
these rich possessions.

The Submerged House.

New Orleans Safes:
The Constitution of the United
States clothes the House of Repre-
sentatives with the taxing power, be-
cause it represents the people who
pay the taxes for the support Of the
government. and in all governments
it is clearly understood that where the
purse is the power sovereignty rests.
1t is due to this fact that the English
House of Commons has been termed
the first senate on earth"
Our House of Representatives, it is
well to say, was modelled after the
House of Commons and it's legislative
functions were to be about the
same, but it has ceased not
only to be a deliberative body,
but has surrendered its control
Of the national purse and the
taxing power to the Senate. Par
liamentary government has practical
ly ceased to exist in this country SO
far as the House Of Representatives
is concerned. The representatives of
the people are not allowed the privil-
eye to deliberate on important affairs
Of State, while the minority party in
that body is not even granted the right
of suggestion, hence the House has de-
generated from a great law-making
body into a star chamber controlled by
a half dozen men operating at all
times in behalf of certain powerful in
terests.
But signs are plentiful of an effective
revolt against this condition and the
end of the rule of privilege. There is
a most encouraging prospect that the
day is near at hand when the House
Of Representatives will resume the
exercise of it's constitutional rights
and powers.

er the Payne or the Dingley bill, and
no relief would be granted the peo-
pie whose backs carry the tariff bur
den, because duties would be reduced
only on articles where protection is
not needed and increased on others
which are freely imported, thus max
ing the taxation heavier for the peo-
pie. Already the Aldrich bill has been
denounced in the senate as a means to
increase taxation without increasing
the revenue of the government. In this
connection the Washington Post says.
IN his carefully worded statement
to the senate Mr.. Aldrich said that
the actual number Of reductions was
about three times the number of in
creases. Numerical increases or re-
auctions, it may be suggested, do not
affect the main proposition. The vital
question is, Does the finance commit
tees revision meet the necessities of
consumers and of the Treasury" The

saying that it does not. This fact will
be completely demonstrated as the
mysteries of the schedules are unrav-
eled."
1t is an open secret in Washington
that the Aldrich bill gives the trusts
all they want, and it is charged that
many of the schedules were written by
the interests that are to be benefited
by them. Moreover the high rates of
the bill are to be topped off by a TWEEN
ty per cent maximum tariff against all
articles which are now or which may
hereafter become the objects of dis
elimination. and the effect of this
would be to further diminish the re-
venues in the interest of higher pro-
lection and, as asserted in Washing
ton, put it in the power of domestic
monopolies, through trade conspiracies
with foreign countries, to lay new bur-
dens on the people. The truth is that
even the leading Republican newspa-
pers realize that the purpose of the AL
drich bill is to further enrich the pro-
tected interests by further compelling
the consumer to serve as a beast of
burden. Against this these
are protesting vigorously and bitterly.
IN view of this situation" a v the
Washington Post, which has always
been an advocate of the policy of a
protective tariff. there can be but
n conclusion as to the duty of SEN
ators, regardless of party. The extra
session should not be allowed to come
to an end until a real revenue law is
framed and every special privilege
whipped out Of it,"
There is little reason to doubt rnat
in the end Senator Aldrich will sue
coed in getting enacted a tariff law
which will cheat the people out of all
the benefits they expect to receive,
n which they were promised by a
downward revision of the Dingley
schedules, but he will not be able to
do it without them having knowledge
OF n way they have been served. The
game of tariff fim-flam cannot be plav-
ed as easily and as successfully to-day
as in the years that have gone, be-
cause for once, at least, the aroused
and vigilant people are watching
things with keen Y

game of flim-flam to be played on the
people in the hope that they will re-

has been discovered that nearly all

bill is simply a restoration of those du-
