Harry Lewis Slips One Over on Eng.
lish Boxer.

London. Jan. 25.-Johnny Summers and
Harry Lewis met tonight in twenty
round match for the welter-weight cham
pionship of the world. and the latter won
in the fourth round. Before the fight be-
gan it was announced that Lewis had
failed to train down to the stipulated
weight. but Summers was satisfied with
the forfeit of leo pounds, and agreed to
take the ring and stand his chances
against a man some pounds heavier than
himself. Lewis superior physique made
him the favorite with all the experts at
the ringside.
In the third round Lewis put out his
strength. and Summers went down. Lewis
helped him up. Some exchanges at close
quarters followed, but Summers. although
game showed fatigue.
In the fourth round Lewis delivered two
rapid punches to the jaw and the Eng
iShman went down and was counted out.
Summers had attempted too much. His
exhibition was in no wise contemplate,
but he was OutclaSSed.

be built much larger area may be
reclaimed.
People and newspapers wro are real
ly sincere in wanting irrigation on the
upper Umatilla will join in the fight
that is being made to have the Indian
rights established. 1t is a fight for
justice to the redmen and for the de-
velopment Of this part of the county
Il is a fight that does not jeopardize
irrigation interests farther down the
stream because the more irrigated
land in this vicinity the better it is
for the west end.
The East Oregonian would like to
see Senator Burgess and his forces
join the brigade and help show the
government that the Indian rights
should be established. 1t will be do

ed and where it may count for some
thing.

CITY VS.. COUNTRY BOYS.

1t is a quite generally acct pied
theory that a boy in a village or in
the country has an advantage over
the city boy But Professor Hoben
of Chicago sees many ways wherein
the city boy has the advantage. He
points out that idleness, vicious en-
tertainment, bad companionship and
lack Of moral stimulation may be
found in villages even more than in
cities.
Discussing the professors idea a
Chicago paper holds that environ
ments in village, country and city, de-
pend more upon parentage than any
thing else. Good tendencies may be
encouraged and evil tendencies re-
pressed by wise parents anywhere.
1t is held the city boy now has more
in his favor than he had 20 years ago.
There are more parks and Fairgrounds
than there were. There are more
reading rooms and Libraries. More
gymnasiums, more good lectures and
more high class entertainment The
| schools are better and the life in gen.
eral is more broadening.
Yet the country boy has his advan.
tages. He is closer to nature and sees
more Of the outdoor life. Consequent
IL he is liable to make better physi.
cal Development than the city boy
though he will not become as wei
posted regarding the ways of the
world.
Much depends upon the boy.

THE OBSCURE.

Twas but an acorn, dropped bv
fate,
That long unnoticed grew and grew
around 1t flourished small and great
The towering vine, the violet blue
Folks picked the violet and were
glad;
The vine refreshed the weary eye;
Only the acorn, meanly clad,
Relieved not human ache or sigh.
The years went by till, tall and
straight
The oak tree spread its arms full
wide;
Now was the acorn nobly great;
The violet found place to hide.
The passerby found shelter there
And rest when MONDAY sun was
high;
AS, hidden from it's golden glare,
He thought, and heard the leaves
reply.
Twas but dreamer, born of time,
Who long unnoticed wrote and
.H wrote;
Around him flourished prose and
rhyme,
The lighter vein, the deeper note.
Folks read the rhyme and laughed in
tune;
The deeper thought gave poise and
aim;
Only the dreamer brought no boon,
As he wrote on, full mean and
lame.
The years went by with mind mature
The dreamer spread his thoughts to
view;
There stood the world in miniature;
The rhymster looked, and sang
anew.
The passer-by found hope and love,
As. weary from his daily strife,
He read the truths so long dreamed
Of,
And thus he gained broader life.

From the last expression it is pos
sible the commission is looking for
ward to a time when it will be impos-
sible to make any allowance for wa
ter competition when railroad rates
are fixed. 1t almost takes that stand
when it declares that railroads cam
not grant a lower rate to Seattle than
to Spokane or a lower rate to San
Francisco than to Reno.
Some day the terminal rate system
will surely go by the board. Allow
ing railroads to meet water compe-
tition is unjust to the water lines and
also to the interior. If the railroads
are allowed to meet water competition
they may kill off the boat lines very
easily and without losing d cent.
They can simply grant low rates to
coast cities and make their profits off
the interior. They can rule the ocean
through being allowed unjust privl-
eges on land. In this connection the
report of the interstate commerce
commission says:
we have the frank admission OF
the railroad managers that they have
subsidized or bought some of the
steamship lines and terrorized others
until they can make the boast that
the effect of the sea has been neu-
tralized."
The railroads can continue this line
of action if allowed to meet water
rates and they will be able to render
the Panama canal of little benefit to
the country. Surely as the govern
ment gets deeper into the task OF
regulating freight rates the commits
sion will forbid discriminating rates
of any sort and will require that rates
be based entirely on the cost of SER
vice

THE EQUITABLE WAY.

In its annual report which has just
been made public the interstate COM
nerce commission defends its policy
OF ordering just rates for inland
points. The report sets forth some
very good arguments in defense Of
the commissions course which has
been thwarted temporarily by the
commerce court.
''It is a waste of transportation and
therefore an economic wrong to
maintain a system of traffic which is
expressly intended to develop the Pa
cific coast cities and to arrest the de-
yelopment of the interior" say the
commissioners.
Regarding water competition the
report says:
I'VE feel strongly that water com.
petition, even when the widest reas-
onable latitude is given to the effect
of market competition. cannot by any
possibility justify a higher rate from
omaha to Reno than from Omaha e
San Francisco from st. Paul TO Spo'
kane than from st. Paul to Seattle.
upon the other hand. 1t should bt
noted that the opening Of the Pana
ma canal may so add to the intensity
of this water competition as TO call fol-
some modification Of the conclusion
now reached"

Old Time London SUNDAYS.

Now and then one hears Londoners
complaining that their Sunday is too
dull. They want more amusements,
attractions, life. But had they lived
in the seventeenth century they would
have found a vast difference. At that
period Sunday in London was day
Of trials. One had only to fetch or
carry to break the Sabbath. Men were
fined for carrying such things as a
haunch of venison and pair of shoes,
while another individual had to pay
up for swearing on a Sunday. A duke
and a knight were fined again and
again FOR riding in their carriages on
the first day OF the week, and one I'M
fortunate pedestrian had to pay a SOW
ereign because he was caught in the
act of strol1ing from Bristol to Bath
on Sunday.-Pearson's Weekly.
