Oregon has a good chance to win
the national prize for advance in
earth education this year. The state
committee has under way an exhibit
showing how $4,000 boys and girls
of the state have been interested in
the new competitive gardening con-
tests and how 10000 Portland school
children were enlisted in similar
work in this city alone. Perhaps no
other state ever gave such liberal
support to this movement at the out
set. The next STEP it is expected,
will be to make this industrial edu-
cation an integral part of the state
school system.

AMERICANS AND SOAP

There is a serious absence of
cake soap from the hotels on the
tourist belt of west Scotland, and
nearly all Of the soap supply is in
liquid or powder form A cores
pondent of the London Chronicle
reports that the spray and the
trickle we're safeguards against
the Yankees. No American
tourists he was told, can see hotel
cake of soap without putting it in
his pocket, provided he is unobserv.
ed "They are a splendid people to
deal with" said one of the hotel
keepers, "but unclaimed, portable
soap is their undoing"
THAT matter of soap is one of
the international quarreis of
manners" observes the Chronicle
"The whitest American is as dis
honest about a cake of soap as the

Without a doubt one of the
greatest surprises of the campaign.
is the changed sentiment in Washoe
county, Senator Massey's home.
Ever since the announcement Of
Senator Massey's stand on the COM
merce court where it was shown
that. he voted to retain the court
in the face of protests form the
Ncrada Railroad commission, the
Reno Commercial Club, the
merchants of Reno and others
points in the state, he has been
losing ground. His utter inability
to explain his vote away has had its
effect on the voters for the people
Of Washoe county know that they
WOULD now be enjoying equitably
adjusted freight rates and there
would have been an elimination of
back haul chsrgrs, had the COM
merce court not been .reated. Its
adjustment was demanded and
when the matter came up for a
vote Senator Massey on August
2lst voted to retain the court
instead Of abolishing it.
The PEOPLE of Washue county
realize that the back haul charges
mean an additional cost on every
article they purchase and they
intend to resent with their votes
any man who would vote as Massey
voted to retain. the commerce
court.
1t was at first believed that
Massey would go out of Washoe
county with big lead Sentiment
has so changed that he will not
even carry his home county. With
the close of the registration books
in Washoe county, the figures
show reduced registration from
the figures of two years ago.
Washoe democrats are united and
Pittman will have the entire
strength of the party behind him
in addition to the reflections
caused by Massey's siding with the
interests when the welfare of the
state was involve d.

INDIAN PLP0OSE IS
EATEN BY GOYOTEs

Coyotes Sinking away. licking
their blood-stained chops, and q
little bundle of torn garments
resting in the blood Dispatched
dust of the road six miles south
of town on the Ida road. told the
story early yesterday morning OF
the fate of a little Indian baby.
A party of six Indians from the
neighborhood of Ida came to
camp early Saturday night and in
some way procured whlskey.
After drinking heavily they stated
back to their camping ground.
The papoose was rolled up in their
wagon and little attention was paid
to the child.
AS they drove along. The after
wards remembered, many coyotes
we're noticed, but they had been
drinking too much to pay atten
ton. About seven miles out on
the road. however, one of the
mahalas noticed that the baby was
missing. They turned back and
after driving a mile heard the
snarling of coyotes. The bucks
jumped out and the animals, who
were unusually bold. fell back, and
sneaked away. A little seacrh
revealed the fate of the papoose.
1t is supposed shat the baby was
jolted out of the wagon. The
child had been eaten alive. The
indians came. back to Goldfield,
told their kstory and then drove
away stolidly.-Goldfield.

has shown by his course in Office
that he has no use for democrat

should give him the same kind Of a

Democrats should not throw
their votes away on Massey or

for either Of them is vote against
the principles for which Wilson and
