The ground was white this morning

The ground was white this morning
early with snow, but is all gone now.
Yesterday and to-day are the first
two spring days of the year, and is
showing; that does not look like an
early spring which everybody is
wishing for, although the peewees
were able to hollow this morning.
There seems to be a good demand
for pine lumber, but the prices are
dull and not much chance for them
to get better until those on the other
side of the creek either kill out or
starve out and if both weapons are
used it will end quicker. Don't you
think?

Drastic New Game Law.

The last loophole in the law against
selling native game birds in Missouri
will be closed this week, when Gov.
Major will sign House bill 605. One of
the sections of this bill, which was
backed by the Missouri Fish and Game
League and affirmed organizations, is
as follows:
"Section 6525. Regulating sale, stor-
age and serving of game-exception-
penalty. Any person, firm or cor
poration who shall, at any time of the
year, barter, sell or offer for sale, or
who shall store or serve in any com
mission house, cold storage house OF
commercial establishment, in this
State, either under the name used in
this article, or under any other name,
or guises whatever, any animals or
birds protected in this article, wheth-
er taken within or without this State,
or lawfully or unlawfully taken, shall
be punished by fine of not less than
fifty dollars (s5O) nor more than one
hundred dollars ($1Oo), and an ad-
ditional fine of FIVE dollars 1857 for
every bird or animal or part Of every
bird or animal battered, sold or offer

House of Representatives on the rail-
road rate bill, in which you assert I
said, "that the country press is
subsidized, bought and paid for by
the railroad companies"
Your misstatement of what / did
say, your manner in raising the issue,
and the false position in which your
article is aimed to place me with
reference to the country press, arouses
some mild suspicion as to the position
your paper has occupied on this
question, and leads one to wonder
whether your attitude is wholly a
disinterested one, or whether in con-
sideration of lot of fat advertising
on the full crew bill, the rate question,
ETC., you have unconsciously and un-
Willingly become a little tender toward
the railroad companies. In my state
ment referred specifically to the
metropolitan press" and "part of
the country press" Your false posi-
tion may be due to your assumption
that the metropolitan press and the
small part of the country press, which
came under the ban of my criticism,
constitute all the press of the state,
in other words, "the whole show"
I am entirely aware, even if you
{ do not seem to be-that there are a
large number of country editors, who
have not Intentionally or unwittingly
permitted themselves to be muzzled
or retained by the railroads, or by any
other interests that seek to promote
conditions which are inimical to the
public welfare; that there are many
who occupy a very high place in the
community life, and appreciate that
Legitimate function is to correctly in
form, to educate, to guide, to dignity
the good by legitimate methods, to
stand for the moral and intellectual
uplift of the human race, to advocate
the truth and condemn error, even at
times when to do it means much loss
in wealth and prestige. These kind

have no quarrel with the editor
who has merely accepted advertising
material from the roads and secured
pay therefor. strike at that class,
who, no sooner than this advertising
matter was received, began to ad-
vocate the cause of the railroads by
their editorials, and to give space in
the columns OF their papers to every
thing from every source, in defense
of the roads and refused or failed to
give to the public information on the
other side of the question, thereby
attempting TO sway the public opinion
in one direction on this subject. My
criticism was made simply because of
such methods being employed to
force the legislature to grant raise
in rates, without any consideration or
investigation as to the values OF the
properties OF the roads, the service to
be rendered or the profits TO be
derived, although we fave a Public
Service Commission whose duty 1t is
to investigate and act on all these
points. Before and during the session
of the legislature, the press TO which
I referred continuously filed their
columns with sstun" for the roads
and saw to 1t that their marked copies

MR.. ELI D. AXE, Editor Register:
My Dear Sir-Since you have given
publication to few articles of other
papers which criticised me adversely
for something Ibid or said while in the

careful not to give publication to any
thing which other editors have said in
defense or commendation of my rec
ord, I enclose copy of letter. /
have written to the editor Of the
Doniphan Prospect News, one of my
critics, in reply to his article. I will
be obliged to you if you will give it
and this letter space in the same
issue of your paper at an early date.
I hope it will to some extent ease the
anxiety of yourself and others as
to my views and what I said about
the country press"
Really. Mr. AXE, in view OF your
design to give only one side of this
question, and knowing your views on
certaiu matters, I am unable to be-
lieve you are serious in your observa-
tions of as to what I should have said
about the subsidized press, etc. Hav-
ing read your paper for years in which
you have expressed your views along
this line, I know that you have NO
more respect for the subsidized press
than have. am of the opinion that
about the only thing between me and
you is that we differ in our views on
the "wet" and "dryn question. am

There is a sense in which the ac-
tion of the stockholders of the Nor
row County Creamery & Cold Storage
Company, at theirm Getting on Mon
day, it to be regretted The effort
to get such an industry started off in
this city was worthy of highest COM
mendation, and that it has failed OF
its purpose at this time is serious
setback to an enterprise that ultimate
ly means much to the people OF the
town and tributary territory. Why
it has failed is not question to be
discussed at this time, for there are
a number of causes, perhaps, contrib
uting to this result. But it is, never
theless, a serious blow to getting
what very great number of our peo-
pie feel is a splendid enterprise for
the community, and it may be long
time before the necessary enthusiasm
is again aroused that will give us this
industry.
But as things have transpired that
make it very uphill task for the
Company to proceed along satisfac-
tory lines, there was nothing left for
it to do. 1t had served its purpose
and it will quit with honor. Peace
to its ashes.

COMMANDMENT FROM MOUNTAIN
TOP.

Farmers and lawyers are not sup
posed to have much in common, eth
er in their habits of life, habits of
work or habits of leisure. Yet 1t is
true that farmers and lawyers are
equally subject to certain broad lines
of success or failure.
knowledge and ignorance are two
factors which determine largely sue
cess or failure. No one has all know
ledge, nor is anyone wholly ignorant.
Even the poorest farmer has accu-
mulated lot of knowledge about far
ming and the brightest farmer finds
himself walled in by ignorance. The
shabby lawyer also has absorbed
much legal lore, while those at the
top of the profession often are called
upon to thank their stars that the op-
posing counsel or even the judge
missed point.
Then, again, the lawyer is sup
posed to have to do more largely with
books and book knowledge. When
the lawyer gets up against the jury
or in the preparation of witnesses for
the trial he finds the outside know
ledge of men and manners quite as
valuable as anything that he digs out
of his library.
Likewise, the farmer is supposed
to derive the larger part of his know
ledge of farming from facts of soil
and plants and animal life, first hand
yet the successful farmer knows that
book knowledge which has to do with
soils and with animals and with
plants and with market conditions
has as much to do with his own sue

1t appears to be eXpedient to say
that there is no such thing in Oregon
as a state highway. All roads are
built by counties or road districts, and
the state in certain cases gives inci-
dental aid through its highway COM
mission.
If the people of Central Oregon
desire direct connection with the CO.
lumbia River Highway, it is up to
them to father the movement to get
it. There need be no antagonism
between any plan TO build road
from The Dalles TO Pendleton. La
Grande and Baker, and another road
up the John Day to Malheur County.
1t is big state and it must have
many roads, great and small. Some
day there may be a more generous
scheme of state aid. and then the
road through Central Oregon may
get substantial help. But just now
the only practicable way is for every
county to build its own roads, either
by itself or in conjunction with other
counties.
Let Wheeler, Grant and Malheur
devise a consistent and workable plan
for a through road, and there will be
no difficulty about getting it to the
attention of the state at large.-Ore
gOnian.

UNDESIRABLE CITIZENS.

"Undesirable citizens of foreign
birth are those who hiss the flag, de-
spise our American institutions, re-
main anti-Christian, and are cruel
in their domestic relations" ="
Such was the comprehensive def
milton given by the Rev. John
Thompson, secretary of the Chicago
City Missionary society, at the Swe-
dish conference of he Methodist
Episcopal church held in that city the
other day.
"Such undesirable citizens" the
speaker further said, "ought to be
told that this country will treat them
better than any other, will give their
children better advantages, but if
they do not obey our laws and up
hold our institutions, will send them
back to the country from which they
came"
Patriotism cannot be too early in
stilled in the minds of the coming
generation and in the public school
is the place to do it.-Portland Tele-

SELF-HELP ON ROADS.

The Blue Mountain Eagle, publish
ed at Canyon City, in Grant County
the heart of Central Oregon-is
much wrought up because the Colum-
bia River Highway is-so it says
not to be extended as state highway
through Central Oregon, but is to
take the devious route through Pen
dleton, La Grande and Baker, in or
der to reach the ultimate state boun-
dary. The Eagle calls attention to
the entire feasibility and greater di-
rectness of the route up the John
Day River through Wheeler, Grant
and Malheur counties to Vale and
Ontario, and wants to know why it
is not better to save 120 miles and
traverse a country that is varied in
its scenery from timbered mountains
to rich and fertile valleys" The
Canyon City paper also INDUCES in

cess as his immediate experience,
plus the past experience of his faith
ers and the present experience of his
neighbOrs.
1t is plain that in the game of shut
tlecock between knowledge and ig-
norance the farmer and the lawyer
are equally engaged and that both
are subject to certain automatic me-
thods of business-punctillious at
tendance to details, scrupulous at
tendance to intellectual as we'll as
moral honesty, the spirit of neigh
borly service, the smile instead of the
crouch, and so on.

FROM AN OLDER GERMAN-AMER-
ICAN HEAD.

A German-American citizen of the
United States who has lived in this
country a number of years, contrib
utes an article addressed to German
Americans WHO have not lived here
long and more especially to those
who are inclined to forfeit their Am
erican citizenship. From it the fol-
lowing timely observations are TAX
en-.
do you remember why you left
Germany? 1t was to escape mar
row, restricted existence under the
domineering, swashbuckling rule of
an oppressive military aristocracy.
You were tired of being elbowed
off the sidewalks by superior young
beings in uniform and upturned mus
taches. You were so unhappy that
neither your passion for German kul-
tur nor the ties of blood could keep
you there.
You swore allegiance to our flag
and institutions. You were warmly
welcomed. You shared in our gov
ernment. Your new freedom was
glorious. You loved it-wallowed in
it. And you prospared in it.
and now you are preparing to
smite the hand that succored you
when you were starving for freedom
and a fair chance in life.
You have heard your masters
voice. You have not been American
citizens long enough to breed out
this spirit of subserviency to aris-
tocracy and the rule of divine right.
"Get the notion out of your head
that American conscience and sense
of justice is in your keeping; that
you alone possess the wisdom to
guide our country in this crisis. Re-
sumo your allegiance to the Stars and
Stripes and be quiet, for you will not
be permitted to influence in the
slightest degree the foreign policy
of the American government. =
