I'm sailing on, I'm sailing on, For better or for worse. The whirling world is my good ship, The sea's the universe. The track behind is Yesterday, Tomorrow lies before. Some progressive cities of the west are not afraid to acquire municipal power plants so as to insure proper rates for lighting and incidentally plenty of power for manufacturing purposes. One Buch place la the city of Winnipeg which is Just completing a hydro-electric power plant that will bo owned by the public and will pro duce a maximum of 60,000 horse power per year. Winnipeg's power plant Is located at Point Du Bols, on the Winnipeg river, 60 miles from the city. The municipality has acquired, a right of way 150 feet in width leading to the plant. Also the city has acquired a quantity af land adjoining the present city and this land will be sold at reas. onable rates to people who wish to engage in manufacturing. In order to secure funds for financ ing the electrical system Winnipeg has floated a $3,250,000 bond issue. The bonds are to run for 40 years. The principal reason that the city has gone into the electrical business is that its leading men now realize 'that if Winnipeg is to do manufactur ing then cheap power must be avail able. It is estimated that the muni Icipal plant will provide electricity at rates ranging from $12 to $1S per horse power per annum. Also j the plant will furnish Juice for light ing purposes. Winnipeg financiers I have computed that within a few Fierce tempests lie along the jyirs the plant will not only be self way, But golden is the shore! I'm sailing on, I'm sailing on. From infancy to age, And toil's the cargo that I bring To win my heritage. The waves of trouble buffet me, The seas of sorrow roll. Yet no disheartenment shall be To keep me from the goal. I'm sailing on, I'm sailing on. Through mist, and storm, and rain Fair skies and cloudy alternate In days of Joy and pain. Where lies the port toward which I sail I know not, near or far, Yet of its winning I'll not fail. For love's my guiding star! John Kendrick Bangs, In Ainslee's. sustaining but that the revenue will jb-s sufficient to gradual'y pay off the I bended Indebtedness. Should an American city undertake such work as this a great many peo ple would shiver with fright and those who represent big corporate interests wtuld assail the scheme as socialistic A Winnipeg they do not call It social ism but common business foresight. It will be of Interest to watch Win nipeg and see the development in manufacturing and In kindred lines after the great electric plant has been finished. Towns are built; they do not grow. that the American sharpshooter da more than equal to the task of pick ing off the aviator and destroying him or the usefulness of his machine, no matter what the altitude of the craft may be. MennwhiK Glenn H. Curtlss, the American inventor, is moving right along with demonstrations that seem to prove conclusively that the airship not only has come to stay, but that it must, ultimately, become an im portant part ef the fighting machin ery of this or any other country. The most recent of these proofs is the flight, in the famous Hudson fly r (tho machine in which Curtiss flew down the winding course of the Hud son river from Albany to New York City) of Eugene Ely from the deck of the cruiser Birminglram. anchored in the Chesapeake bay. to Wlllough by Beach, a distance of seven miles. Although this was a short flight it was a remarkable one, because of the conditions under which it was made. At the time the airship engines were started and it began to sprint down the eighty-three feet of runway pre pared for its launching from the war ship, a hailstorm was in progress and the atmosphere was so dense with fog that it was difficult to see the shore line. The runway on the cruiser was too short and the aeroplane plunged into the water as it left the stern of the vessel. Instead of going to the bottom, as had been predicted would be the case should the machine fall, the aviator maintained his control and after skimming along the surface like a bird, rose into the air In almost per fect imjtatlon of a huge seagul. A blade was broken almost in half as the propeller churned at lightning speed in the water, but the machine kept on and made the Journey from the ship to the shore successfully. If such flights can be made at this early date in the science of aviation who can safely predict that the more perfected machine will not be able to fly over much greater distances from vessels lying far out at sea and either secure information that will enable the warship to accurately place Its shells, or carry explosives which may be dropped on the immov able fortresses on land. Examiner. AWFUL SICK. : ; A COMMISSION? TILVT TAX AMENDMENT. Does Pendleton want to adopt the e 1 commission plan of government? It I i a timely subject and now that It aas been broached Dy councilman Montgomery let us have a thorough investigation of the matter. Certain- The Portland Oregonian is again jly there are many meritorious fea- haklng with terror and is endeavor- , tures about the commission plan. It tag to scare capital away from this seems to be the businesslike way of state by screaming about the county handling municipal affairs. A city tax amendment that was adopted by the people on November 8. It is the only tax amendment that did pass and until a day or two ago It was thought the amendment had failed. Now It may be that this amendment should have failed. The East Ore gonian is not thoroughly familiaf should not expect good service for nothing anymore than the county or the state. This city spends a large amount of money each year and It cr.nnot be doubted that much of It is wasted. For instance this town has been here many years and yet it ihas but a few blocks of good streets Inspector Dew of Crippen renown told a Buffalo reporter that he was most Impressed in America by the grandeur of the Niagara falls and the sobriety of the American people. "We have no such sobriety across the water," said the Scotland Yard detective. "Our slums of a Saturday night are horrible. It's the beer, you see. British beer is as strong almost as American whisky. "They tell a story about two Brit ish beer drinkers. One said to the other: " 'I've been very sick, George. For two da-3 little pink snakes and frogs and lizards were crawling all over me.' " "Been sick?' said George. 'Why. man, you're sick still. Pink swarms of 'em are crawling all over you now!'"

Standard Oil Company 77 Clncorparatea) '."'ft- n arri?j 7n iitnWi.i I iO with its meaning and is not uphold ing It. Yet there is no reason for epileptic fits because the amendment v. as adopted. As it reads the amendment Is -as follows: ''No poll or head tax shall be levied or collected In Oregon, no bill regulating taxation or exemption throughout the state shall become a law until approved by the people of tho state at a regular general elec tion; none of the restrictions of the constitution Bhall apply to measures approved by the people declaring what shall be subject to taxation or exemption and how it shall be taxed or exempted whether proposed by the laglslntlve assembly or by Initiative petition; but the people of the several counties are hereby empowered and authorized to reguiate taxation and exemptions within the several coun ties, subject to any general law which may be hereafter enacted." From the reading of the amend ment It appears the several counties Oi." the state have the power to make exemptions and therefore they may take up the single tax scheme if they wish to do go. But that is nothing remarkable. The state of Oregon al so has the right to adopt single tax If It wishes to. It has had that right ever since the initiative was secured. Yet the state has not adopted single tax and there appears to be no im mediate possibility of such, action be ing taken. It appears the framers of the am endment wished to give counties the right to act as units in the belief that Multnomah county might adopt it, even though other counties should refuse. Should Portland consider the Idea seriously It would be doing no worse than New York. In the great eastern metropolis a strong move Is on for the adoption of single tax within that city and some of the abl est of men there are for it. They ar gue for single tax In New York on the ground that the taxation system now In use puts a premium on per jury; taxes Industry nnd business and lets those who really posaeaa tlM wealth of the city off too lightly. In Portland it might be a good thing for the people to consider seri ously taking up the single tax. It might serve toJar loose aome people who own unimproved tract) within and without the city and have grown and the sidewalks are a disgrace. In the residence districts we have rotten wooden walks and dilapidated cross walks. In the opinion of this paper money spent for wooden walks Is but thrown away. That policy should be .Abandoned Just as the county has abandoned wooden bridges. The East Oregonian would like ti have the subject of commission gov ernment discussed and will welcome communications upon this topic. THE CHURCH AXD TOLSTOI. The high priests of Russia would r.ot administer the last sacraments to Tolstoi. It was action such as couli have been expected. The church of Russia like some churches elsewhere, dors not stand for religion but for the outward show of worship. The church excommunicated Tolstoi he rs use he was the one strong man in that dark empire to hold up the torch to enlighten his people and relievo their oppression. But the fact that gorgeously robed prelates would not officiate at the burial of the old count will not Interfere with his Journey. Crippen killed his wife because he was infatuated with another woman so it was proven. He was sentence 1 by the English court to die and he Is now dead. The world does not ap prove of the Crippen method. ABOUT KITCHENEK. During the South African campaign Lord Kitchener had attached to his staff a youthful and somewhat cheeky scion of a noble house, who, having been summoned one morning to the commander-in-chief's tent entered it with a jaunty air, saying causually: "Mornin, Kitchener! Did you want me?" The assembled aides-de-camp and older officers gasped with horror, but Kitchener merely said, with a quiet smile: "Oh, don't call me 'Kitchener!' it's so beastly formal! Call me 'Her bert'!" Calgary Herald. Some Spokanites now want to have a. Round-up. Tut, tut, broth ers. spoKane snouia be content wicn the national apple show and the I. W. W.'s. With the O. A.

Secretary of War Dickinson and General Grant are at variance as to the utility of the aeroplane as an en- r nn of rt'ructlon In war. After asreral flight during his recent trip abroad. Secretary Dcklnson Is a firm h'-llever In the airship, and it Is said, will ask the next congress to appro prlate several hundred thousand dol lars for the purchase of foreign-made machines for the use of American military officers, General Grant dismisses the air rich through the toll of other men. ahlp with scant courtesy. He declares November 23 In History. 1775 The British Lieutenant Colo nel John Connelly captured near Hasrerstown by the Am ericans on his way to Detroit with papers and pispatches of great importance. 1791 Fort St. Fernando de Figueros capitulated to the French, 9,- 107 prisoners, cannons and great quantities of ammunition and stores were taken. 1804 Franklin Fierce, president of the United States, born. 1812 The Northern Army, under General Peirborn, went Into winter quarters nrar Plntts- burg, Burlington and Green bush. 1812 American privateer Tom of Baltimore, captured British packet Townsend.
