BTATE OP OREGON. County of Jack- ACCORDTNG- to census results, Oregon will be entitled to another congressman. In all probability, the city of Portland or Multnomah county will be made a district, leaving the balance of the state for the other two districts. A consummation devoutly to be wished, is that in redis ricting tho state, eastern, central and southern Oregon be placed in one district, and the Willamette valley and northwestern Oregon in the other. Southern and eastern Oregon have much more in com mon than either section has with the "Willamette valley. They are more progressive, more energetic, and have the same type of citizenship. Both sections have the same character of country, the same character of poimlation, the same natural conditions to contend with, and their wants and needs are nearly the same.. Both have alwavs suffered from the domination of northeastern Oregon, and found their development efforts clogged by the slower minded mossbacks of the Willamette valley. The Willamette valley has nothing in common with eith er southern or eastern Oregon. They don't "hitch" and never have. It is a constant struggle in the legislature to obtain anything for either section, and only by combina tion is favorable legislation secured. The Willamette valley region, with its different wants, different ideals, different population, should be made a district by itself, and left to work out its future. Southern and eastern Oregon can work together in harmony until such time as their population justifies their segregation into districts of their own. , nnecdoto will show.

An old mid fccl)lc bookworm was sitting in his home, His wife was young and pretty as a peach; .She wanted for to go to a leading Broadway show, Because a solemn lesson it did teach. Her husband was so languid that ho didn't want to stir, His face was sallow and his hair was gray. Ton never take me anywhere," was ber unldndest slur, And unto her that old man then did sey: CHORUS, fl know I'm not a live one; I know that I'm a bookworm, jBut I have lost my ginger now, be cause I have a hookworm! "I'd lovo to tuke you everywhere, and suit your every wish, "iBut n bookworm with a hookworm hasn't very much nmbish." several other measures for their constituents. Both are loyal friends of Crater Lake and doing all possible to secure appropriations for its development. In response to resolutions adopted by various commer cial organizations of the state stating the need of making eonmlete surveys in the Crater Lake national park, so that the department of the interior can base estimates of cost for submission to congress, and requesting an appropria tion sufficient to carry on the work, Senator Bourne wrote as'follows on May 23: "Senator Chamberlain and I have been conferring re garding Crater lake, and have agreed that he shall offer an amendment to the civil sundry bill, providing an appro priation of $15,000 for carrying on the survey and con struction work, this amount having been suggested by the Secretary of Agriculture. We shall do everything possible to secure the appropriation." On June 10, the Chamberlain amendment was passed by the senate, showing that the senators had made good. All that is to be feared now is that Hawley will fall down in the house. This is his opportunity to show what he can do, and upon the result will depend his standing in southern Oregon. ENTERPRISING ASHLAND. lutnj nlkn wake momlooco tnlkal"lcumhliiutlt)H nro spoken of. It Is a lowered his how. lOxports In tho Chi- slgnlflcont f:.et that not oven Tecum nook Jargon translated tho above as sob nor PontkiH nor King Phillip wan "You nro very drunk or 1 would kilt, able to unlto fiovorat trlhea pormnn you." This Is certainly a nso of for-ontly against tho whites. Had tho bearnnco on tho Indian's part, na ho latter, with bin coiiHUininnto ttrutogy, had ample opportunity to escape to 'boon ablo to consolidate tho Now Kng hls brushy kingdom In tho tnoun-lnnd tribes, tho unavoidable result tlnnB. J would havo been to exterminate tho Such lncldonts and peculiarities ir-urltan colonists of that country. It throw considerable light upon tho ' truo of tho Indians of Now York character of tho savages, and go far to provo tho Improbability of any such deep plots as many havo ascribed Tholr schemes could not havo taken such a rango as wo aro assured they did. All that wo can allow lu Hits connection Is hat the Indians wore In Unto of war accustomed to re ceive reinforcements from such neigh boring tribes r.n wero accustomed to fraternize with them In time of peace nut It should not bo supposed this aid was regularly grantod or with held by tho chiefs or ho.tdnioii of tho neighboring tribes, for oa such occas ions tho young men woro accustomed to use their own doscretlon as to their IndlvMiinl acts of assistance, niul wero not undor sufficiently strict command to bo deterred from doing as tboy liked In that regard. Thoro Is n restless element la every trlbo and on overy reservation, con sisting chiefly of young braves desir ous of achieving renown In battle, nnd tho history of tho Indian wars, almost without oxcoptlon, shows that tho rank of hostlles aro swollod by such volunteers from neighboring tribes, without any arrangements be ing mndo; and, It may bo remarked, this element seems at times ns will ing to fight on one sldo ns tho other, and to their assistance we owe many of our greatest victories over tho hostile thlbes. The extent of the nld furnished. Is an important, but in detcrmnlntc matter. It seems con 8l3tnnt with the Indiana character that such aid eo furnished would bo of a most unreliable sort indeed. It would most likely occur that tho vol atllo young wonlors would Jesort tho 4111X1 ftl'lll'l (111 1I11UIIKMUMI- II1U IJ11HIHM 1 thirteen colonies, that In their In- clplency a thorough union of tho hos tile tribes would have resulted In a total extinction of the white Inhabi tants, but providentially for tho pion eers of these now powerful and sopr ou8 states, tho Indian chnractor wna Incapable of such union. It Is true that Pontine, and afterwards Tecum seh, and his brother tho Prophet, brought about a eort of rouferonco betweon tho grent Indian tribes of the Ohio Valley, but these existed but for a little time, and we may con clude that If these chiefs of experi ence and Intelligence, opperatlng ns they did at v. great distance from tho whites, could not effectually unlto the Indians of .heir time, nnd Hoguo Itlvor chiefs surrounded and watched ! by whites, mod certainly could not effect that result. It appoars con sistent to allow that the Indian allies woro but chance visitors or errant warriors from neighboring tribes. Tho writer s.-ys: "Thoy procured more or less guns and pistols by thoft or othorwlao' . Giving Its due weight to the word otherwise no one can desputo that assertion. To nscrlbo procurement by thoft, whoa it is nn ii'idlsputed fact that tholr arms wero v. mally procured by a mm'! vllor means.

The stores that do not advorliso .can't sell so cheaply as tboeo that do for thoy mako fewer sales, and -their por-salo profit must be larger, A SHLAND now has the opportunity it has craved. It -- can build its own electric line and finance it with local capital, and operate with such profit that in a few years it can be turned over free to the city. It is a fine time for Ashland to demonstrate its financial strength to the world and those who so indignantly reject ed outside capital, will of course hasten to make good them selves. No better opportunity will ever occur. Railroads throughout the nation are stopping all construction work. Tho eastern money markets are tight and money cannot be had for new enterprises. Even Jim Hill is delaying his projects. But or course it is not wanted in Ashland. Ashland can also demonstrate a new thing to the world that a trolley in a town of its size is a paying investment. Of course, ninety per cent of the trolley lines in cities of 25,000 population fail, but they do not run over such valu able streets as Ashland's. The franchise alone ought to pay cost of operation for a score of years. Ashland's municipal lighting plant has been such a phe nomenal success, that all doubt of the success of the Ash land trolley is eliminated. Every mossback will subscribe heavily to it and the amount raised will make Allen's $5,- 000,000 look like 30 cents. Who says Ashland is not enterprising? est tho child will tako In homo In dustrial work ly making it n subject of consideration at school. A teach er talked of sewing, and the girls sowed.

In my! INDIAN WARS OE SOUTHERN OREGON (From J. C. Walllny's History of Southern Oregon.) In two minutes you can find In the -jwe fact that Is important to you, These barbarians aristocrats woro lmmeasureably above tholr subjects, as thoy never conscended to beg, but took with ready grace what was of fered. Thoirlndlguation was quick ly arrousod when their dignity was slighted, nnd to neglect to lnxlto them Ions they would stalk Indignatly homeward. Tipsu Tyee, whoso homo was In tho mountains botwoen Applo- gate and Dear Crook, used frequently to be seen In Jacksonville. This sav age , less Interesting and attractive than tho others, was a bugbear to the minors and settlors, because of to cat at tho dinner hour was an his occasional "Insolenco" and mys offense which their haunty blood terlous character, Yot his Impulses could not brook. Upon such occas- were not all bad, as tho following and both girls and boys mado bird houses, kites nnd othor thlngj of In terest. A school garden was planned In n city, and ono of tho boys was employed to plow tho land. Sovonty- flve children wero wntchlng for him to como with tho team. At last ho camo driving around tho cornor. He could mnnago a toam. Ho drovo into tho lot, and n hundred and fifty eyes looked with admiration nt tho boy who could unhitch from tho sled nnd hitch on to the plow, and thon as ho "man fashion" linoo ovor ono shoulder and undor ono arm drovo tho big team around tho field, all could feel the children's admiration for tho hoy who could do something worth T?hlle. I hnvo a girl who could make good bread or sot a tablo nice ly got tho real admiration of her schoolmates. Tho school cm liolp mako bottor homo builders, it can holp by In dustrial work dono In tho school, but as thnt Is already rccolvlng consld eratlbn by tho press and In a fow schools, I shall not In this short arti cle troat of it. Tho plan I havo In mind will coat no monoy, will tnko but little school tlmo, and can bo put Into operation In ovory part of tho Htato at onco. It will create a demand for oxport In fraction later on. It Is to glvo school credit for industrial work dono at homo. The mothor and father aro to bo recognized ns teachers, and tho school teacher put Into tho position of one who cares about tho habits and tastes of tho wholo child, Thon tho teacher and tho paronts will have much In common, Kvory homo hns tho equipment for induattlal work and has somebody who uses It with moro or long skill, Tho school has mado bo many de mands on tho homo that tho parents havo, in somo cases, folt that all tho tlmo of tho child must bo clvon to tho school, nut an Important thlug that do the task that needs to bo dono nnd to want to do It In the best posslblo way. The roauo.i that so many coun try hoys nro now tho lending men of affairs Is bcciiiHO early In Ufa thoy hnd tho responsibility of homo thrust upon them. I ntn sure that the motto, "Evorybody Holps," Is a good ono. Tint ono snys, "How can It bn brought about? How can tho school give credit for IndUBtrlnl work dono at homo?" This may bo accomplished by printed slips asking tho homes to ttvko account of tho work thnt tho child docs at homo undor tho Instruc tion of tho homo, and explaining thnt crodlt will be jjlvon this work on tho school rocord. Those slips must bo prepared for children according to ngo, so tliat tlio clilld will not no asked to do too much, for It must bo clearly recognized thnt children must havo tlmo for roal play. The required tasks must not bo too arduous, yot thoy must bo real tasks. Thoy must not ho tasks that will put extra work l on parents oxcopt lu tho matter of Instruction and observation. They mny well call for tho enro of mil-, main, and should Include garden work for both boya nnd girls, Crodlt In school for homo Industrial work (with tho parents' consent) should count ns much ns any ono study In school, To ndd Intorest to tho work, exhi bitions should ho glvon ut stated times, so that nil may learn from each other and tho, best bo tho model for nil. Tho Bchool fairs In Yam hill, Polk, Denton, Lapo, Wasco and Crook countlos, togotbor with tho school and homo Industrial work dono nt Bugeno, havo convinced mo most thoroughly thnt these plans nro prac ticable, and thai school work nnd home work, school play nnd homo play, and lovo for paronts and re upect for toarbor and follow puplb can best bo fostered by a moro com ploto co-operation betwoon school nnd homo, so that the wholo child Is taken Into account nt all tlinos.
