NEW HARBoR BOAT UP
 FROM FIT. SEWARD TODAY

The Captain James Torrance, the new harbor boat that is replacing, the Peterson at Fort Seward, ar rived here today with bunch of officers and enlisted men from the Post.
 The Torrance is a much larger and more powerful boat than the Peter son and was brought up last week from Seattle by Captain Bergman and Pilot Call
 The Torrance Is almost one hund- red feet in length and was built for a mine layer and used as such dur ing the war. While her passenger accommodations are not as good as the Petersons, it is said that a new house will be built on her and then she will be an ideal boat for these northern waters.
 Captain Stidham will still be in command and that In itself is guar antee that the service will be first class all the time.

FIFE PASSION PLAY At ObCrammcrgau, 1922

The history and significance of the dccenniaI production of the Passion Play at Oberammergau is well known. It stands today as the most striking embodiment of simple old world faith and ptety and has the further distinction of being the only direct survival of the so-called Mir gcle Plays" so widely popular in Europe during the Middle Ages.
 The presentations will take place on the following dates: May 1ltb CpubHc rehearsal, l4th, Fist, 25th and 2Sth; June 5th, lIth. 18th, 18th, 29th; July 2nd, 5th, 9th, 12th, 18th, 18th, 23rd. 26th, 3Oth; Aug ust 2nd. 9th, 9th, 18th. 18th, goth 23rd. 27th, SOth;, September 3rd 10th, 17th, 24th.

CORDOVA WANTS MUSEUM
 OF FINE ARTS AND ALSO
 A GOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY

There is a lively local sentiment in favor of the establishment of a public library in Cordoya this year at least the beginning of one. Rev. Eustace P. Zi9gler, in reply to an inquiry, said he believed the peo- pie were earnestly desirous of hay ing not only a good public library, together with all t'e leading maga- zines. but also a museum of fine arts to which he would be pleased to contribute. It Is also believed that Sydney Laurence and other artists would be glad to contribute. Some constructive action along this line may be expected soon. MT. ZlegIer said these were questions which probably would be taken up by the Literary Club, through the initiative of one of it's live-wire members.
 A little further inquiry elicited the apparent COnCensus of opinion that the Alaska Pioneer Spirit. which is very active here, would not favor obtaining a library by endowment. or Carnegie fund. NOT by charitable donation of any kind. To the con trary, it was said, the modest begin uiug could be made this year and additions be provided as fast as means allow. Tie idea seems to be to keep the city independent in this respect, free from debt and self-reliant.-CordCva Times.

Editor East Oregonian:
Relative to the proposed income tax
for Oregon permit me to say that the
incomes in Eastern Oregon are much
larger than those of, Western Oregon.
This is due to the large scale upon
which farming and stock raising are
conducted east of the mountains, II
liberal exemptions are to be allowed
as in case of the Federal law, the re-
suit will he that all of the state outside
of Eastern Oregon and Portland viii

Yet California is a great state, pos
sessed of an immense amount of
wealth. Los Angeles county alone is
assessed for as much as the two
entire states of Oregon and Idaho.
For tn $ reason the fine roads and
schools here are relatively a light
burden. Much of tb' s wealth is doubt
less brought in by those coming here
to escape severe Eastern climates.
After one years observation, my
conclusion is that people in ordinary
circumstances stand a much better
chance, and count far more there than
here, and so far as I am concerned
like the climate of Umatilla county
better than any in California.
1t is my intention as it has always
been to return to oregon as soon as
my family is ready to do so.
