THE WATER SUPPLY. Tho battlo ovor tho purity or tho Im purity of tho Salem wator supply still ragou. Likqa woman's virtue, onco called In question It Is not easily restored in character. If tho stato board of honlth had wished to be fair, thoy wpuld havo -published vital statistics of all cltlos, liuiludlug Portland. Thoy would havo published the num ber of typhoid fovor oasos at Port laud, and all tho Orognn towns, nnd let the public drnw tholr own couclti nlons. 'Il.ls well known that, oven with Hull Iltin wator (tho boat In the world) thuro havo boon hundreds of cases at Vortlaud of typhoid fover, moro than at Halcin In numbers. It Is well known that about throo times In forty yoars havo thoro bton typhoid favor chsob at Salem, nnd othV Valley towns, proving that tho drinking water supply Is not tho pri mary cause of fovor. Tha calling In auoetlou of the purity of the water tfupi'ly of tho valley cit ies, and mentioning nothing about fovera at Portland, leaves tho brand of unsanitary conditions on all those l)tles. The unfairness, the Injustice, tho malignity, to to speak, of the effect of thu slate hoard of health's publica tions, ought to condemn tho author of that soreed to retirement. If not pro fnsulonal starvation.

Who has Been It J Whonco tholr authority for tho charge 6f pollutions Will the city of Portland assume, to back tholr onslaught on tho sanitary conditions of all the towns of Western Oregon? Will the state board gvo the public thq vital statistics of Portland, alongside of all the other towns of Or egon, and allow the people to Judge for themselves. Tho quostlon of wator supply Is r-no for each community and each Individ ual to settle. Had this board found certain damaging facts to bo true, which thoy did not. It would have been tholr duty to notify tho local authori ties, instead of flying into tho news papers with an unfair and Injurious sot of statements. That would have been tho act of gentlemen and fair minded clt'aans. A CHALLENGE TO THE-SENATE. The Octobor Atlantic contains among other papers two articles of marked value and national Import Impert ance: Representative McCall con tributes to the Atlantic a powerful political article, "Tho Power of tho Sonnte" meaning its usurpations taking for his toxt tho startling vale dictory words of 8peaker (to bo) Can non at tho close of tho last session. Ho nrralgns tho undemocratic charac teristics of tho Sonnto and forecasts a conflict to como between tho houses, which ho predicts will bo decided "In favor of those great principles of pop ular government which underllo tho American commonwealth." Shortly before daybreak, In tho closing night of tho session of tho con gress which enmo i.o an ond on tho 4 th of last March, Mr. Cannon mado u remarkable speech. One of tho groat appropriation bills nocossary to run the govornmont wns in conforenco between tha two houses. Unless It should pass before 12 o'clock on that day It would bo nocossary to havo an oxtrn session, or the whoels of soma of the great governmental departments would bo stopped. A sonntor had do Ilvorod an ultimatum that an ancient claim of his stato should bo fastoned upon tho bill, or, as an alternative, ho would defeat tho msasuro. Under the rules of tho sonnto It was clearly In tho powor of ono senator to carry on, as long as his physical strength would last, tho uppoaranco of dobato, which would In no fair senso bo debate at all, but simply a forclblo stopping of tho legislative machine. Mi. Cannon very unwillingly con sented to pay the price demanded, hut ho declared with emphasis that "tho sonnte should chango its rules, or that anothor body, backed up by tho people, will compol that chango, olso this body, close to the peoplo, shall become a more tondor, a mero bundor of tho prognant hlugos of tho knoo to submit to what any ono mom- bor of anothor body may demand of this body ns n prlco for loglslatlon." 0 THE METHODIST CONFERENCE. Tho session of the official body of Oregon MethodlstB, Just concluded, was ono of tho most Interesting ovonts in tho religious development of tho stato. Not for any great or sonsatlonal things done, but for putlent, Intelli gent doallng with the work of this de nomination, promotion of Its educa tional Interosta and gajioral progress. With immigration aomo now men have como to Oregon, and that will add strength to the personnel of tho min istry, and strong men havo boen pro moted, as Rnv. Parsons to bo superin tendent of Alaska missions. The $100,000 endowment fund for Willamette University has been given a tine start. Tho Mothodlst ministry are liberal givers, for their Incomes, probably the moat llboral body of men In the world of rollglous effort. The Methodist system of church or ganisation has again shown Itself to be a perfectly adjusted maohlno for dUelDline of a large body of bolloverw. scattered over wide territories of city aud country. 9 CORDWOOD AT A PREMIUM. Rite In Price Will Cause Extensive Cutting This Winter. A Salem special says: The amount or corriwood that will bo cut In this vicinity this fall and winter wU bo larger than It has been In four years. Slice wage have advanced, and labor haB been scarcer, the farmers have not been outtlug much wood, and tho supply has scarcely met the demand. For two wlHtew there has been n deficiency in ife local supply, and con siderable quaatltles have been ship ped In by rail This year the shortage U greater than ever, and prices are soaring. Tte protUa that are to be made by cutting and hauling wood will cause extensive hauling this winter, and It It altogether probable that next year the supply will bo plentiful, and prices will be lower. During the hard times second-growth Hr sold in Salem, delivered, at ?1.S0 ,to 3 a cord, aud old-growth wood brought !.B0 to $3.7$. la those times stumpaso had scarcely nay value. Prices haye steadily advanced under the stimulus of decreasing supply un til now second-growth "wood is In de mand at 12 50 to , and old growth flr Is sold at not less than $4. GO per cord. Stumpage Is worth 75 cents to 11.25 per cord, according to distance from town, and It is not Infrequent to sec men sell stumpage enough to pay for the land the timber stands on. In somo cases 'the limber has brought tho owners scvornl times the prlco nt paid for the land. Tho available supply of standing timber within hauling distance from Salem has greatly decreased undor the heavy consumption Incident to the growth' of the population, tho tnultlpli nation of jprune dryers and hop dryers, and tho clearing of land. The fear has been oxpressed by some that tho fuol problem will In a few years bo a serious ono to tho prune and hop hi dustrles. In past years It hns been tho custom to haul wood from tho farming dis tricts to tho city. While ono who rees tho hundreds of evorgreen-covorod hills that surround Salem would not think so great a chango possible, it Is predicted that some time wood will be shipped to S.alem by rail, and then hauled from town to tho hop dryers and pruno dryers. Much of Jhe timber seen on the hills is very young, being tho growth which has sprung up whero timber has been removed for fuol. Tho entire deple tion of tho local supply Is not a very Imminent contingency, for wood that was not marketable a fow years ago, noy finds salo, and Is being cut Urged on by tho high prices of this year a largo supply will bo cut noxt year, and the prlcos will bo some what lowor, though probably novor so low as to loavo tho farmer without a good profit. PROGRESSIVE RELIGIOUS THOUGHT. Man cannot remain forcvor satisfied with material progress, howovor great it may bo, which, from its very nature doos not make him all ho should bo, and knows he ought to bo. Force lies within tho personality which wait to bo touched Into action by motives and purposes which nro above all temporal and material Incentives. Within this field God waits for tho opportune sea son to mnko His most effective ap peals. Tho twentieth century is wait ing for mlraclos of power In the spirit ual to equal thoso In tho. material realm. Thoro aro large orea,i of un- dovolopod territory In the Christian man of today, and thoro aro Indica tions that Christian manhood will movo out of tho flold of prosont strug gle Into the new domain of worthy ondoavor, whero it will awaken to a now concoptlon of tho undeveloped powor resldont In Christendom. Tho Standard. THE DOG POISONERS. Apt to Get Good Dogs Only Curs are Too Smart. Tho man who first devised tho spreading of poison to kill objection ablo dogs In his neighborhood had about as much sonso as tho character In fable who killed the gooso that laid tho golden oggs. It probably nover oacurred to his massive mind that he might kill off all tho good dogs and never touch the howling cur. Tho poison fiend is abroad at Sea side and Hammond, and thus far only valuable dogs have porlshed. It would bo a good idoa for the officials of those places to onforcc tho dog llcwnse ordinance. If a roan is compelled to pay for tho privilege of keeping a dog he will want (o pay for a dog that Is worth paying for, nnd in this way many a hybrid canine will find an early grave, and In the samo way many a valuable animal will escape an un timely death. The King of All Game Birds. (Albany Daily Herald.) As Is well-known tho China phoas- nuts were Introduced Into Oregon by Hon. O. N. Denny, of Portland, then United Status consul at Tien Tain, China. The birds were first liberated on the farm of John Donny, now a res ident of Albany, in the Immediate vl vlnlty of Peterson's llutte. In this county, March 17 18S0. Though tho birds havo Inoro&sod wonderfully aud spread throughout most parts of West. orn Oregon, they are more plentiful here In Unn county, where thy were flret set at liberty, than elsewhere The China pheasant now has no rival to tho title.

Sundcrman Believes in More Organization Says Stockmen Should Stand Together and Demand Relief From Unjust Combinations That Nov Force Down Prices. (Dally Pendleton East Orogonlan ) A. II. Sundcrman, is down from hlr range on tho head, waters of tho Grand Hondo river, and reports his stock in fino condition for winter. He will remain on tho summer range for a couple of weeks yet, when ho will movo down to the fall postures near Pilot Rock. Mr. Sundcrman 1b an enthusiastic advocate of organization among tho stockmen of tho West for tho pur pose of combating tho meat and packing combines. The rangemen raise the stock, feed It and graze it, preparo It for tho market, load It on the cars and furnish it to these grasp ing combines at a sacrifice, and yet no declslvo steps are taken to fight this method. The trusts keep buyers In tho coun try, living on tho fat of tho land, drawing enormous salaries, living in comparative case, whose business is to hammer down prices on tho pro ducer, and sccuro tho stuff grown on tho farms and ranges nt less than the actual cost of production. Mr. Sundorman believes tho stock men of Oregon should thoroughly organize, mnko it a secret organiza tion, ns In Montana, If necessary, and stand to gether, under all circumstan ces, to protect each othor from tho grasping corporations that aro con stantly pulling down tho prices o( wool nnd livestock. In tho wool pools each man should bo obliged to abide by nnd support tho organization, and thus provont agonts from using un fair means to get Individual clips nt reduced prices, or uso coorclvo meth ods to boat down any ono owner. Ho favors tho establishment of the Independent packing plants, under tho supervision of stockmen, as now organized. He thinks that tho actual stockmen of tho country, and not tho hotel lobby stockmen, should control the Institution, and reap tho Just prof- Its, to which they aro entitled. Speaking of tho coming meeting of tho National Livestock Association In Portland noxt January, ho thinks tho Oregan nnd Pacific Coast stock men should be prepared to defend thomsclvcs against tho old ring which has dominated the policy of the as- soclntion for years. To do this, tho actual stock growers should got to gether, understand each othor, de mand somo plain, ordinary business action, which will release them from the salt and transportation trusts, and pormlt thorn to placo their out put on tho market at something near- or Its actual value. Something should bo dono to snvo the grower the profits that now go to koep In luxury about throo usoloss classow which aro not ongngod In handling llvostock nnmoly tho buy er, the commission man and tho wholesnlo dealers, Iletwoon the stoor or tho mutton on tho range and tho butcher's block are hut two mon actually needed in the ontlro procoss tho owner of the llvo stuff and tho railroad company. By forming tho stockman's packing plants tho owner, through tho asso ciation, can put tho meat on tho block to tho consumor as easily as tho com mission mon put It thoro, and all the intermediate profits would re main In tho hands of the grower, to be converted back again Into moro range stock. Saw Lovejoy's Press Destroyed. Judge Toole of St. Joseph, now 87 yoars of ago. was 15 yoars old whon his father moved to Alton, 111. He wit nessed the destruction of Elijah Love Joy's printing office, ono of tho histor ic Incidents of tho slavery agitation, and vividly rocalls tho picture of the type and printing material of tho nntl slavory leader strewed about the ground, and tho Incldont of a mutual friend, a minister, remonstrating with Lavejoy because of tho pursuance of a task boset with dangers, and hope- loss of a final triumph. The very words of Lovojoy yet remain In mem ory, and tho decision and grandeur of the man as with flashing oyo and defi ant tones ho declared: "I am right, and will pursuo my course, oven to the very death."
