THE world talks much about tho limitation of arma ments and docs little Yet it is not a new idea. Wo shall soon celebrate the centenary of; such a limitation tho arrangement re stricting United States and Canadian armament on the Great Lakes to 400 tons and four 18-pounders. The cele bration had its inspiration in a reference made by Earl Grey at the Peace Conference in New York, in April, 3907, to tho approaching centenary of peace along tho Canadian border. At the Molionk Peace Conference recently Mackenzie King, Canadian Minister of Labor, suggested that there be erected at Niagara an enduring memorial of this Hun dred Years of Peace. It is an admirable sucrcrcstiou. A memorial should' be reared. It should be of such a character that all the world might read its story of forbearance and common sense.

Railroad stocks fell yesterday. Look out for higher freight rates. At last wo have the reason for the high cost of living. Congress has tackled the question and so have many states and commercial bodies. It remained for a com mittee of solons from the Massachusetts state legislature, however, to give us the real reason for the increased cost of foodstuffs. They have given us the result of their in vestigations in a ponderous report of seven hundred pages in which the.v finally declare that the nrimary cause of high prices is the increase in the gold supply. You never would have believed it, would you? Of course, you naturallv feel in vour pockets to discover the increased supply of gold and you soon make up your mind that the other fellow has it. You will also conclude after mature deliberation that it is a far cry from the con clusions of political economists to the real causes that lie behind the increased cost of living. One does not need to be a great political economist to see that the real cause may be found in decreased supply and increased demand. If there are not enough apples to go round, those who want them will have to pay more for them. The same principle applies to all food products. As Secretary Wilson has said, the remedy is in "a return to the farm and the simple life." We cannot all go back to the farm. Most of us wouldn't know what to do if we did go back to the farm. But we can all go back to tne simple liie. .Fortunately it is the time of year when we can cut out heavy meats and rich wastries without suffering any hardship.

INDIAN WARS OF SOUTHERN OREGON (From J. C. Walllng's History of Southern Orerjon.) 771 . ,- . T There's no accounting for tastes,! ISven the man who wears side wh:S leers probably admires them. And tho man who breaks off a Matrimonial engagement should be fined for contempt of court. We often feel sorry for tho rich. There is Rockefeller, for instance; he umce bad as much hair ns anybody. 'Satan smiles whenever a minister begins to congratulate himself on the beauty and eloo,dence of his prayers. A father seldom whips his small on for fighting if ho shows that ho lias been cultivating the habit of victory. 'Some pcoplo are so busy keeping ut of trouble that they never havo time to do anything else worth men-UUoning, fOnco thero lived n woman who ad--mitted that her husband wns too good for her but sho's 'been dead several enturies. "When a Woman subscribes for a ewspapor sho thinks she isn't get ting her money's worth unless she finds the name of somebody sho knows among the death notices. Ono of tho 'hiinisfora thinks churches ought to Jia'vo press agents, -tfao same as theaters havo. But 'would it bo proper for a church preBs agent to bo as imaginative as tho theatrical press agent so often becomes? Captain Goodall, now residing nt Kanaka Flat, near Jacksonville, may be esteemed a credible witness, as ho lived in Yrekn in 1852, and was intimate with the most of the mem bers of tho Ben Wright expedition, particularly with the leader. It is reasonable to suppose that he was in Wright's confidence, as he was in strumental in sending out the party and was the more apt to know with certainty concerning it, us he nlso was an Indian fighter of experi ence. Tho captain says: "Bon Wright had several pow-wows with them, .and when nt length it was found necessary to olo9e the cam paign on account of approaching winter nnd snow, a final talk was had, in which a beef was killed nnd well dosed with strychnine, which I bought in Yrekn and sent out to Wright. This was given them and by them eaten half raw. But tho plan failed of killing ull of them off, for the heat of the fire deprived the poison of its strength. However, it was successful thus far that it mado them all very sick with tho "jerks," and actually killed five of them- -that is, made good Indians of them, or, in other phrase, "sunned their moccasins." Captain Wright and company wore discharged at Yreka, their muster- rolls and accounts mado out bv Captain Goodall, and they wore duly paid by tho state in scrip, and after wards by tho United States in greenbacks. This is one, and an apparently fair versjon. Next comes tho more commonly accepted, but very im probable ono, of Wright's having poisoned 40 Mbdocs, thus annihilat ing the whole band with the excep tion, some say, of two who slipped out of camp just boforo tho feast of poisoned moat began. Several writ ers havo adopted this tale, for ex ample, A, B. Meacham, in his ridic ulous book, "Wigwam and Warpath." It will be seen that the above stories differ only ns to the number of In dians killed, which would nnturnlly be exaggerated as time went on. Hence, ns between the two, we must incline to that of Captain Goodall. Wright, it is said, persistently denied tho story; not probably from any deference to refined people's feelings, and certainly not from any desire to screen himself from any mensuro of obloquy, for ho was probably very far from caring for anybody's opin ion. . Finally, wo shall consider tho ac count published in tho History of Siskiyou county in 1881. This ac count, evidently prepnred with great pains and unlimited attention to ac curacy of details, was written to bo rend by people who might bo pre sumed to know a great deal concern ing tho matter. Thus far, wo boliovc, it bus escaped adverse criticism, which, in tho ovent of error, it would bo nearly certain to meet. A synop sis of the account is as follews: Negotiations being in progress word was sent to tho Modocs to come in nnd feast. Tho camp was on Lost river, and the Jndinns, who speedily came in, camped near by and on the bnnk of tho river, both camps being about one-fourth of a milo above tho natural bridge and not far from tho spot whoro Captnin Jack and the troops first fought, usherincr in tlm Modoc war of 1873. Some half hun dred braves, with thoir squnws, mado their homo in camp and lived upon tho provisions of the whites. Old Schonchin, head chief, foreseeing trouble, left tho camp, as did others. It appears to havo been Wright's in tention from tho first to endeavor to got the Indians to restore the valu ables thoy were thought to havo stolen from immigrants, and then to L ANDSLIDE CULEBRA CUT Five Hundred Cubic Yards of Earth Fall and Fill Bottom of Cut for Distance of 900 Feet Across to the Opposite Bank.
