INSTANT DEATH.

winnino a Fur Coat.


The artist Hans Canon once paint
ed Russian prince in magnificent
fur mantle which took his fancy so
greatly that he endeavored TO hit on
plan by which he might retain posses

trait he omitted to return the garment.

so be made 10 reply. One day when
looking out of window be saw the
prince coming toward his house Has

Hard To Reconcile.

How is the Bull Moose partv going
to reconcile its cardinal platform
plank "Thou shalt not steal'' with it's
avowed intention to choose in every
state where it can be done, sn-called
republican electors who are pledged
to cast thier vote in the electoral col
lege for Colonel Roosevelt running on
third party ticket?
Is it strictly ethical for a parry that
is basing its appeal to the people on
the commandment, "Thou shalt not
steal" to profit bv the votes of men
who are mssqueradinG under the col
ors and name of tha party that it has
expressly condemned and cast off?
Is it in accord with the spirit of
the commandment "Tbou shalt not
steal" to stack the deck against an
opponent? For if the Bull Moose
party succeeds in pledRing republican
electors to cast their ballots in the
electoral college for a man ~hO is
not the choice of the republican, parry,
the republican voter will be playing
against a stacked deck. He will be
bucking surething game. He will
be confronted with the alternative of
votirg for an elector who is pledged
not to carry out his will, or Of not
voting at all He will thus lrse bis
vote if he does. and will los he
does not
The elector is bound by an an@ ten
pledge TO cast his electoral nsllot for
the candidate dominated by hts party.

Then shals not steal
when he breaks that pledge? A few
years ago there was an effort here in
Oregon to induce state legislators to
break their Statement One pledge,
which is essentially similar to the
electors pledse. Was that consider
ed an ethical procedure? Or was it
not condemned with a violence that
was measured only by the limits of
the condemners' vocabulary?
Can it be that the plank Thou
shalt not steal" is but fy-' atcher
set out to gather in votes. Eugene

Mr.. H. H. Cohen, the gerial crop
statistican and commercial editor of
the Oregon Journal was in Condor this
week and made US a pleasant call.
He has been all over these three coun-
ties writing up crop conditions for his
publication. Mr. Cohen's estimate
of Gillian county's grain exports this
fall is ,0C0 900 bushels aud he has
not over estimated. as we are going to
have an enormous crop. We insured
some wheat this week that will make
all of 30 bushels to the acre and per-
haps more. Weather conditions are
ideal, and numbers of harvest hands
are coming in every evening. Let
them come, there will be jobs for all
and to spare. In another couple of
weeks OF ten days harvest will be
general all over the county and no
man need be idle that really wants to
work. .-Oondon Times.
We rejoice with our Gillian County
neiRhbors over this splendid crop
showing. They are entitled to it.
Morrow county is not behind either
and will deliver the greatest crop Of
wheat in its history. All we need is
a few years of what these counties are
to turn off this season.

1t may be that Dutchman named
Knickerbocker did live in the early
history of New York. but If he did
there are no records extaDt to prove it.
The truth is. the name was created by
Washington Irving. who applied it to
all residents Of New York in his time
who happened to be descended from
the early Dutch settlers. Irving used
this quaint Dutch character IN his
"Knickerbocker History of New York"
to burlesque the early days of the city.
The volume purported to have been
the work of Diedrich Knlckerbocker
and gave an amusing and satlrical ac-
count of the early Dutch settlers. Rec
ords of the period tell us that the book
bitterly offended their descendants.
who never forgave Irving for his ding
at them.-New York Times.

Heppner's streets are getting
mighty dusty. especially Main street
and the nuisance is almost intolerable
when the wind blows, even slightly.
Just why the water-wagon has jumped
the job, this paper does not know
unless it is a sort of hold-up game.
The city is not ready with their water
yet for this puDose, and it is begin
ming to develop that they will not
likely have enough water from the
we'll recently cug. In the meantime
a number of the business men are be-
coming verv much interested in the
proposition to oil the streets if it is
found that the experiment can be car
ried out without too much expense.
Many believe that the oiling of the
streets will settle the dust problem.
as we'll as kill off the weeds and
grass that grows along the edges of
the walks and becomes such nuisa-
nee. At all events let something be
done just as soon as possible for there
is slight possibility that the whole
town may be buried aiigs with the
dust if relief does not come.

notable features of the gathering
The various places where EIks lodges
exist made surprisngly good show

wide the eyes of Portland and of the
visitors.
Those who have believed Oregon to
be state with one city changed their
minds when they saw the parade ssand
the long column of Ellzs from the four
corners of the state sweep along Port
lands streets. The active support of
the state cities made the parade the
big success it proved. The occasion
further proved how much Portland
relies on its friends in the interior in
accomplishing any really big thing.
