Meteorite Of Great Age.

Meteorites Of indicated great age
are conspicuous by their absence from
museum collections, and 1t Is suggest
ed that such specimens may disinte-
CRATE and disappear from the rocks
within relatively short time after
falling.
The British museum, however, has
lately acquired a slice Of somewhat
less than a pound from meteoric
iron that is believed to represent an
ancient fall. The slice is from one
of two similar masses that were found
in January, 1905, within a few miles
of Dawson, Klondike, and that, from
their position deep in the oldest grav-
els of the district, are thought to have
rested there since the Pliocene age or
before.
From his study of the original spec
linens in the museum of the geologi-
cal survey at Ottawa, r. A. A. John
son has concluded that they are part
of single meteorlc shower Of Ter
tiary time.-Newark News.

ACTS ON SENSITIVE NERVES
Scientific Explanation as to Why Blow
on Jaw Is Calculated to Cause
Knockout"

The knockout blow is scientifically
explained as follows: When the low
er jaw is struck on it's point, especial
ly with an uppercut, the bony portion
of the ear inside is driven forcibly up
ward into the glenoid cavity of the
skull, above and behind which is sit
uated the delicate labyrinth of the
inner ear.
The jawbone strikes hard upon the
thin plate of bone that supports these
sensitive organs and gives a shock to
the semi-circular canals that Is in
stantly transmitted by them to the
bulb, producing dizziness, nausea and
momentary paralysis.
This explains why q sideways blow
on the jaw is more effective as a
knockout than one delivered directly
upon the point of the jaw. For the
shock of a sideways blow Is received
in one glenoid cavity, that on the side
opposite the one on which 1t is struck,
while the shock Of blow in the center
is divided between the cavities on the
two sides.

GARY BLAMED
By Senate Education and
Labor Committee

Washington.-In it's report on the
steel strike the United States senate
committee on education and labor de-
clared that the workers have the right
to have representative of their own
choosing submit their grievances to
employers.
Judge Gary's rejection of this prin-
ciple caused the steel strike. He re-
fused to deal with his employees in a
collective capacity and refused to
meet representative of the steel
workers to discuss wages, hours.

With this position the senator's
show impatience and they seem to
hold a poor opinion of Judge Gary'g
diplomacy. In effect, they give this
hint to the steel magnate:
why didn't you wrap yourself
around an American flag and tell the
committee you could not meet such
an undesirable citizen as w. z. Fos
ter?"
The senators say the steel strike
should be postponed until after the
presidents conference, because the
president made this request. This is
the conference that denied workers
the right to be represented by men
of their own choosing, either in the
steel industry or any other calling

now taken by the senators.

origin Of sea Serpent.

Professor Darcy Thompson, during
the course of recent lecture at the
London Royal institute, said that he
had no doubt that the cuttle-ish was
the strange beast which the ancients
had named the sea serpent. They
must have seen it during one of It's
playful gambols, and have mistaken
it's wedge-shaped tail for the head of
the serpent, and the end of one of its
enormously long arms for the tip of
the serpent's tail.
No story of ogre, giant, or witch
was more strange and terrifying than
the cuttle-f1sh or octopus. Neverthe-
less, the cuttle-fsh's ''bone" had home
ly associations. 1t was used for pet
canaries to pick at, and for lawyers to
clean up parchment. 1t was also used
to polish the doors of carriages.

IMPROVED ROADS COST MONEY.

Seven thousand dollars per mile for the
graveling of a road that has already beer
graded, is perfectly straight and has no hills
to increase haulage cost seems mighty
high figure. Yet that is the price, the low
est price, offered the State Highway com
mission for the gravelling of the Cairo-Nys-
sa section of the John Day Highway.
AT first glance that seems a steep price
to pay, most people hereabout think it is
For the ordinary gravel road such as we
have around this section it is entirely out of
reason. Perhaps, tho, the kind of road
that the state and federal government have
built is so much better that it is worth that
price. If it is, there will be no kick coming,
for the best road possible is none too good
for the Boulevard with its heavy gravel.
According to the newspaper accounts
of the proceedings of the Commission, the
contract for this work was not let on Satur-
day when the bids were opened but the pro-
posal was turned over to the commission S
engineering department. just what that
means is not apparent at this distance.
1t is possible that the engineering de-
partment may deem the bid too high and
seek to do the work under force account;
or that it will endeavor to have the county
take the contract.

BUILDING GOOD ROADS.

At the meeting of the State Highway
Commission at Portland last Saturday that
body presented definite program of co..
operation between il and the people Of Kla-
math county and the federal government
for the construction of the good roads pro-
posed for that section
Under the terms of this agreement the
people of Klamath county know exactly
what is to be done, and what their share of
the burden is to be, and they have it all be-
fore them For every dollar of Klamath
county money that is 10 be spent the High
way commission is to spend one, and the
federal government another.
AS yet no such proposition has been
made to Malheur, Baker, Umatilla, Union,
Wallowa or any of the other counties in
this section of the state. No doubt there is
a good and sufficient reason for this.
So far the commission has agreed To
spend several thousand dollars, more than
100000 in Malheur county and as yet has
not required definite statement of coop
Grafton with the county. The only work
undertaken as yet in the county-thc Nyssa-
Cairo road was graded by the county. Since
the state engineers have estimated that the
cost of graveling this road would amount to
S. per yard and the plans call for 1000
yards per mile, the county's proportion of
the cooperative expense is far less than the
ratio given in Klamah county.
If the county can secure cooperation
on this baisis on all the program contem-
plated for Malheur county, including the
Old Oregon Trail, the John Day Highway
and the General Oregon Highway a far
greater benefit will accrue to the people of
this county than that being given Klamath:
However definite statement on the part of
the Commission would be appreciated, sol
that the County Court would know how it
can proceed.

WHOSE BUSINESS IS IT2

On the front page of the Argus appears
the statement of "An Old Soldier" who de-
clares that Ontario has lost large family
because they could not find house in which
to live. The mere statement of that fact
should cause some good, hard thinking on
the part of those who have vacant lots about
the city, and likewise it should give the
merchants of the city reason for using their
business judgment
Now it is not necessarily the business of
a city to provide homes for everyone who
wants to come to live within its confines
but good live city will attempt to do that
very thing-if it can.
There is no lack of space in Ontario for
homes-and there is no desire on the part of
owners of vacant property to keep their pro-
perty in that condition. Also there is a de-
mand for homes-what more need man
ask who has property-who has with it too,
money to put both to use and ultimately pro
fit thereby.
The merchant who is anxious to in
crease his business knows that the surest
way to do that is to have the city in which
he lives grow and thus provide him with a
growing clientiel Good business would
dictate that the merchants of Ontario
would assist in any movement that would in-
crease the number of homes here. And we
believe that they will do this if the matter is
properly presented.
An effort has be n made to improve the
here. The subscription list for a
home building company has been signed by
a comparative few-why others have not
signed is hard to understand.
The "Old Soldier" is not the only per-
son forced to leave Ontario in recent weeks
because of no place in which to live. There
have been others and there will be more.
Next week man leaves Ontario who has
been employed here for months, because the
house in which he lives has been sold and he
could not find another

MORE PROPAGANDA.

Attorney Genral Palmer would calm
the aggitated minds of th2 people with the
report that the cost of living has fallen IN
many states 10 or 10 per cent. The trouble
is he did not specify which states. If he
did there would be such an exodus to those
favored commonwealths that the cost there
would probably rise again. That is the
trouble with most of the government pro-
paganda-it deals with generalities and does
not give specific facts. What we want to
know is: "When will the price of shoes
come down, and how does the bacon price
STAY up. and likewise mutton chops, while
hogs and sheep take such awful slumpsf"

MILLIONS IN FRUIT.

It has been estimated that fruit ranch
ers of the Payette Valley, just across from
Ontario will receive approximately thpee
million dollars for their crop.
Iii to be hoped that these estimates are
low in reality and that the sum will be
even greater. But even if it does not reach
that great figure it is certain to be sufficient
to place that wonderful section on the list of
wealthy communities.
While considering the ranchers of the
hench as wealthy, for many will be that, it is
we'll to remember that they have had many
lean years, and they are entitled to this fat

in the interest of good government
and in harmony with the spirit which
gave birth to this Nation that every
intelligent man and woman, North
and South, should have the right OF
suffrage.
To the end that living conditions
that will tend to reduce the abnormal
death rate OF colored residents in
cities be improved, we call upon nun.
icipal authorities to provide better
sanitary surroundings for all homes
and the establishment of parks and
breathing spaces in the congested
sections.
The right to collective bargaining
between employee and employer
should not be denied TO any group of
American citizens. We deplore the un-
just discrimination against the colored
workman by organized labor unions
and by organized capital. We recon-
mend the adoption of a uniform rage
scale and identical working conditions
for all workers of the same class.
Notwithstanding the fact that no
race representative was invited to sit
in its councils, we view with gratifi-
cation the effort now being made in
this city by the conference called by
the President of the United States, to
effect an adjustment of the labor
troubles existing throughout the coun-
try. and respectfully recommend the
adoption of similar action on all griev.
Gus public questions.
The migration of the colored people
now going on from the several States
is primarily due to the lack of safety
of the home and is indicative of the
fact that the Negro is sensible Of the
economic value of his labor. This
movement clearly demonstrates to the
south that all forms of prescription
Jim Crow cars, segregation, and law
lessness must cease. and better
school facilities, better housing con-
ditions, and better wages must be pro-
vided if the migration is to be check

ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY.

The National Race Congress, of the
United States, in Convention assemb-
led, representing a constituency in
every State, and almost every munich
pality of the Union. views with alarm,
the increasing tendency toward lynch
law and mob violence throughout the
country, as exhibited by the recent
outbreaks in the cities of Boston, Chi
cage, Gary, Knoxville, Omaha and
Washington; as well as in many
parts Of the South, and calls upon all
fair minded citizens, especially those
in high authority, to put an end at
once to such lawlessness.
OF the 1000 Negroes lynched in
the United States within the past
forty years. not more than seven per
cent were charged with the crime of
rape, and not more than seven per
cent with alleged criminal assault.
Eighty-six per cent have been lynch
ed for offenses which range from al
legged murder to "impudence" and fiji
ty Of this 1000 have been women and
children.
This appeal for the suppression of
lawlessness is not only for the sake
of justice, but for the added reasons
that lynching and mob-violence cause
the desertion of farms and overcrowd-
ing of cities, and augment the high
cost of living by increasing consump-
tion and decreasing production. More
over, mob-rule is an open expression
of utter disregard for law and order,
which are the fundamental elements
Of all civilization.
Patiently we have submitted to the
many acts of injustice heaped upon
us by an intolerant element of this
country and still counselling law and
order and the observance OF all forms
of good government, we say now
without reservation and with firm
conviction in the justice of our posi-
ton, that when it becomes a matter
of self-protection-a question of life
and eXistence-the man who does not
rise in his own defense is not worthy
Of citizenship in a Republic like these
United States.
If this nation desires to maintain
its proud position among the nations
of the world and prove that it is a
democracy in deed as well as in word,
it must carry out the letter and the
spirit of its constitution. Any gov
eminent which has the right to make
its citizens bear arms in it's defense
must by the same token have the
power to protect them. A nation
which proposes a democratic program
for the protection of the weak and
oppressed people of the world should
inaugurate the same program at
home. Moreover, we believe it to be
