An Unwilling Passenger

Superintendent Emerson of the G..
o. Foss company, made an uninten-
tional trip to Pendleton this morning
Emerson is in charge of the crew of
men engaged in putting the finishing
touches to the big tunnel at Coe, and
happening to be at the west entrance
of the tunnel as freight came along
and stopped, he decided to ride
around the curve to the camp which
Is located at the east portal Of the
tunnel. AS the train had stopped to
do some switching he thought for that
reason that it was the local freight
and would stop at the camp. It hap
pened however, that 1t was a through
freight and had only stopped to drop
out car that had become disabled.
The superintendent took a seat on top
of a box car but when the camp was
reached the train was going at such
a rate of speed he did not dare to get
off. The engineer did not hesitate at
any station but went so fast that En-
nerson could only retain his seat in
the cold on top of the car. He re-
turned to Coe on the local.

through the country at this time of
the year in all his official career.
1--WE are floating them out at the
rate Of eight or ten a night, but new
ones keep floating back in at about

1t was then he suggested the rock
pile solution of the difficulty. hold
ing that sine these men were all
deathly afraid of work they would
stear clear of a city with a rock pile
reputation as they would shun a pes
thence.
Since the general reports seem to
be that the northwest is flooded with
hundreds of undesirable citizens il is
more than possible that the county or
city authorities will take steps toward
adopting the suggestions of the dis
trict attorney and the night officer.

ROOF GUTTER DANGEROUS.
On Isthmus of Panama IL is Consider
ed Breeding Place for Yellow
Eeyer


Washington.-The innocent roof
gutter of the States, where the SPAR
rows chirp and spring rain drips with
musical cadence, is a thing of horror
and menace to human life down on
the Isthmus of Panama, where the
canal is being dug.
In newly constructed houses the
roof gutter is eliminated entirely and
decree has just been issued by the
governor of Panama empowering the
health officer to tear down defective
roof cutters If the owners of houses
don't take the initiative and do 1t
themselves.
Defective cutters are those in which
pools of water collected In which mo-
squitoes-the yellow fever standard
bearers of tropical climates-may
hatch and begin their lives so full of
deadly evil.
A few years ago a roof gutter was
looked upon as entirely harmless in
the Isthmus of Panama. There were
so many pools and swamps and quag-
mires that the mosquito had most of
the world to choose from as an abid-
ing place. But the sanitary sharks
narrowed that domain down amazing
ly once they got to work. The swamps
were dreamed or coated with oil. The

The great trouble in cases of this

is no punishmnt whatever to send a
man of this kind to Jail at this season

ing out some practical method of get
ting enough work out of them to pay
for the trouble and expense. This is
not nearly so easy as would appear
on the face. For instance we hardly
ever have enough prisoners in the
county Jail at time to make it prof
liable to hire a guard and put them
to work on the roads.
II think this is a question the leg
islature could wrestle with to the
profit of the state at large. It seems
to me that probably the most practi-
cal way would be for the city and the
county to work together in this mat
ter and for the city to be given per-
mission to work the county prisoners
under the supervision of the street
commissioner in improving the roads
and streets leading into the city. The

tion for the state board" said Mr..
Cochran to the East Oregonian this

makes diagrams showing the features
of the different locations offered. We
secured information with reference to
such things as rainfall, temperature,
altitude, etc. After we have complet-

be submitted to the state board for
their consideration. 1t is my under

of the transfer of mercantile store

William Mosgrove of Dayton, WASH

first this morning on an objection by

hard for the poor insect to find
home except in some antiquated roof

small pools in which they may find
refuge to build a modest domicile and
hatch their young.

CHAMP CLARK BACKING UP.
Not Nearly So Anxious Now to Trim
Powers of Speaker of House.

IoNerS Vi speaker OF house.
Washington.-"Whe the devil was
sick, the devil a monk would be:
when the devil got well, devil a
monk was he.''
This familiar quotation evidently
fits the Hon. Champ Clark of Mis-
souri,, prospective Speaker of the next
House of Representatives.
When Uncle Joe" Cannon was in
his glory as speaker Of the house,
Champ Clark held that the power of
the Speaker should be curtailed. and
particularly did he condemn the
Speakers power of appointing COM
mittees. AS leader of the minority,
Champ Clark offered in the House a
resolution proposing the selection of
a committee on committees" to have
full power to make committee assign
ments, and appoint committee chair
men. The resolution was not adopt
ed.
Now that Clark seems almost cer-
tain to be the next Speaker, he has
lost interest in this proposed "com-
mittee of committees" "I am not for
it nor against it," said Clark, on his
w L all III Ia
vor of letting the Democratic caucus
decide how committees shall be nam
ed"
Naturally. for Mr.. Clark has hopes,
now that he sees himself in the
Speakers chair, that the Democratic
caucus will entrust him as great pow
er as has been given by Republican
Houses to such speakers as Reed, Hen
derson and Cannon. Devil a monk"
is Clark now.

Facts About Fans

most appropriate as a gift. From
peasant TO emperor It is a potent factor
in the life of the people. They greet
each other by a wave of the fan. The
young bride takes a fan with her to her
new home. Jugslers attain great skill
with their fans. When a youth reaches
manhood, a tan is presented to him. He
never parts with 1t. even though 1t
might hamper his movements IN the
performance OF his duty.
There are dancing fans. tea fans. camp
fans Of every size and material. In this
Land Of the Rising Sun the fans are be-
wildering.
Women have taken the fan. which was
once the sign of royalty, and sway their
little courts with graceful movements of
the arm. The art of using the fan. so
well mastered by the beauties of the
eighteenth century, is on the wane, how
ever. 1t is considered an accessory "a
woman's wardrobe, that is all.
Fans are nowadays collected and ad-
mired. Beautiful specimens Of Watteau
and Isancret lie on velvet cushions and
merely suggest how important they were
considered In the past.
