Pleased With its Library

The statement has frequently been
made that Escanaba is not pleased with
it's Carnegie library. The following
articl1 from the Mirror of that city
seems TO refute that statement.
"In the Carnegie Public library Els
canada possesses a free university and
1t should be of special interest to the
young men of the city, said j. J.
Cox. president Of the board OF library
trustees.
Mr.. Cox takes great pride and inter
est in tire library and never loses IN
opportunity Of extending it's prestige
and usefulness as a public institution.
He is especially interested In the OPP
%poItunities the library affords young
men for extending their education and
is anxious that those opportunities be
made generally known. In connection
with the statement made at the begin
ming OF this article Mr.. Cox said
There are, doubtless. many young
men in Escanaba who have been long
ing for "A college education. Yet they
cannot afford the time or money to

they could have better positions than
the ones they are NJ present holding, il
they only mad the chance to 20 away

are doing. Yet at our very door is
free university. a college which they
can attend without entrance examina-
tions and without price.

prove their efficiency by attending this

A FUTILE ATTACK.

Defending the state conservation
commission against an unjust attack
made upon it by Jay Bowerman. the
Journal said yesterday:
"Mr. Bowerman's information was
bad. No sum of $4,000 was appro-
priated for the commission. The
amount for the two years was $1,000
and of this sum but S565 was ex-
pended.
Second, the money was much bet
ter expended than in Mr.. Bowerman's
famous scheme of putting DR.. Pla-
mondon on a salary of $4,000 a year
two years before his services were
required at the Oregon branch asy-
lum. The work of the commission
and its predecessors has been of in
valuable service to the state. 1t was
to the original commission that is
largely due the enactment of the Ore
gon water code. That achievement
and the fruit it has borne is evidence
of the field there is for conserva-
ton commission in the state.
The work accomplished through
the water code is alone worth the
cost of a commission for a century
and there remains other fields fol
similarly fruitful endeavor by the
body 1t has limited the franchise:
on water powers to a period of Al
years and at the end of the time re-
turns the title to the state instead Of
allowing it to remain the vested righi
of a private corporation. If there
had been an Oregon conservation
commission 20 years ago, the Port.
land Railway, Light & Power COM
pany would not now claim owner
ship of the Willamette Falls ant
would not be warning farmers alons
' the river to its source that they mus
not take water from the stream fol
| irrigation purposes if by so doing
they reduce the flow of water at the
falls.
The trouble with Oregon has beer
that it did not have conservation
commissions long ago."
When he tried to muck rake the
state conservation commission ia!
Bowerman took up a hard job. The
valuable work done by j. n. Teal ant
associates on that commission is too
well known. The commission will no
suffer by Bowerman's attack but tn,
people of this state are shown one,
more what stripe of politician ia!
Bowerman is.

A CRUSTY CHARACTER.

George Z. Turner, at dinner at
the Curtis hotel in Lenox, said with
a smile:
This hotel was originally a New
England boarding house. The board
was very simple here. And old Cur
tbs. the original old Curtis, was a
character.
Curtis used to drive very aris-
tocratic lady. Mrs. Butler, every af-
ternoon. One day he was extremely
talkative. Mrs. Butler stood his talk
for an hour or so, and then she said.
in her stiffest and most grande dame
manner:
"'Mr. Curis, 1 pay you to drive, not
to talk
Curtis of course, said no more.
But when his bill came at the end of
the month there was one days charge
which was set at $3.50 instead of the
usual so cents. Lenox prices, by the
way were lower then than now.
"'Mr. Curtis said Mrs. Butler,
what is the reason of this singular
charge of $3.50 instead of the usual
half dollar on the 11th?"
"'Half a dollar for the drive, and
50 for your sass Old Curtis answered
gruffly"

HIDE THAT SKUNK.

Prompted by some political mo-
tive, the devil knows what, a lying,
dirty, untimely attack was made here
yesterday upon Governor West and
State Treasurer Kay. In local circles
that attack will have no effect be-
cause people will merely consider the
source But it would be bad to have
i: go abroad. The nature of that at
tack was such that it constitutes an
outrageous insult to the governor, to
Mr.. Kay and to the entire state
Pendleton must squelch such stuff as
that and show that the decent, re-
sponsible element of her citizenship
does not countenance such tactics. II
we must have skunks in our midst

but in this instance no car was avail

Two hundred pounds of the frag-

THE BRANCH ASYLUM.

In a message sent the legislature
yesterday Governor West asked that
a special committee of capable and
.disinterested men be sent to Pendle-
ton to look over the site that has been
.selected as location for the branch
asylum. He sets forth that the land
purchased by Bowerman offers no
suitable building site for such large
institution and he gives the seasons
why the site is Objectionable. He
would have the state board authoriz-
ed to purchase additional land so that
a better building site may be secured.
There is nothing new or startling
in this. While they were here the
other day both Governor West and
Treasurer Kay were frank in criti-
ecising the site selected. They pre-
dicted then that more land would have
TO be purchased.
In acting as they have done both
the governor and state treasurer have
they can be subjected to no proper
criticism. They will have the expend-
ing of a vast sum of money for the
people of Oregon. 1t is but right
they should be careful and see that
no blunders are made. A building site
must be had that will be amply large
for the buildings to be erected and
for possible future engagements. If
the site chosen by Bowerman does not
offer suitable building ground it would
be a crime against decency and good
government for the present board to
g. ahead and erect half million dol
lar institution upon that site.
But there is no move on to take
the branch asylum away from PEN
dIeton. The members of the board so
stated while here and they have SO
stated publicly since that time. 1t is
plainly the intention to secure more
land in this vicinity and to locate the
buildings upon that land. During the
past few days Engineer Murphy has
been looking over other tracts with
this idea in view.
In the view OF the East Oregonian
Pendleton has nothing to fear from
Governor West or Treasurer Kay
They are big men, not petty and vici.
GUS politicians. They are doing theil
duty as they see 1t. They are not try.
ing to job Pendleton or do anything
or the sort. At this time the only
element OF danger seems to lie in ths
possibility of fight in the legisla
ture. Should Bowerman and his fol
lowers try to justify the action TAX
en- by the retiring acting governo
and prevent the purchase OF NOR
land then the whole thing may b.
thrown into the air.
But is is more than likely the leg
islature will uphold the present board
The legislature is progressive and tn
organization in both houses is friend
Iy to the governor. Both house
should back the administration in It
asylum plans. Upon this point It
timely TO remark that both Senator
Barrett and Burgess should stan,
with the new board despite the fac
