ARBOR DAT AXD THE FOURTH.
Arbor day fallt on April loth thit
year. The idea may be ridic-nled that
Arbor day would outlive tbe Fourth of
July in observance, but a little ctndy
would tbow such an outcome to be pos
sible. Canaille Flammarion, in "Omega,
or tbe End of the World," state that
a holiday has never been observed more
than six centuries, even by the Eomans,
as patriotic a people in their day as any
people that ever existed on the face of
the earth. They were peculiarly egotis
tic and naturally so, since the republic
so quickly conquered the world : "to be
a Roman was to be a king." The lapse
of a hundred and aisfteea years has re
duced our Fourth of July to little more
than a tournament, wherein rival teams
of various athletic organizations tset
their strength, and the day is filled np
with guzzling red lemonade and explod
ing Chinese powder. True, there is
the time-honored reading of the declara
tion of independence and the full quota
of local orators, but tbe audience is
nrnally listless, and the struggles of onr
forefathers, with all their patriotism,
endurance, sufferings and self-sacrifice
becomes at an oft-told tale, and grows
mare and more insipid. It is the law of
human nature over again on a larger
scale. The mother would die for her
baby, Jtlie father would struggle to
the death in defense of bis child,
but these efforts are unappreciated on
the part of their selfish offspring; and,
given tbe opportunity, they will make
servants of their natural masters.
Hence, it may be computed that an
other century will witness a still lets
degree of veneration for the noble actt
of Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Put
nan, Stark, and ail tbe revolutionary
heroes, and in tbe vista of years and the
attention demanded by new heroes, they
will become dwarfed, though still cele
brated in ancient history, like Leonids,
oi Sparta.
Arbor day, however, like the trees
which it plants, it destined to grow.
The spirit of providing for future gener
ations is as strong in ns as it was with
oar forefathers. We are true parents,
as we are true children, and will con
tinue to be wise and thoughtful in the
one, at we are indifferent in the other.
Then, it it natural for tbe human family
to plant and nourish and delight in the
growth of seeds to maturity. This in
stinct will never die. There are, alio,
economic reasons why trees should be
planted. The timber of tbe United
(states it becoming 'scarcer, notwith
standing our immense stores. It is
computed that if there were no new
growth, tbe present supply would be
come exhausted In 100 years. Many of
tbe mountains of the eastern states that
a century ago were covered with the
pine, tbe birch and the silver maple, are
today barren. The new growth, even,
is insnfficient, and lem Ur it daily
shipped from the west. Tbe great
prairie area of Kebratka, Kansas, Iowa,
Wyoming, Utah and Nevada must also
be supplied, and tbe daily shipments
are prodigious. Ws have none too much
timber, and the supply will continually
grow shorter.
Arbor day, then, under a continued
and increasing stimulus, will be observed
indefinitely, and age will as gradually
dim tbe luster of tbe grand declaration
of independence.
Boston business men have almost or
ganized a company, which will soon con
dnct one of the largest stock yards and
slaughter houses in the world. It will
be at Fort Worth, Tex., on the Trinity
Kiver, about two miles from the city
proper. The prime mover in the opera
tion is G. W. Simpson, one of the origi
nators of the Omaha Stork yards, who for
years past has been identified in the
cattle and stock-raising industry. The
concern will employ 400 men, and will
handle 1,000 cattle and I.OOO hogs a day,
and the stock yards will accomodate over
3,000,000 cattle a year and a proportion
ate number of sheep and hogs. A gen
tleman conversant with the deal said:
"Mr. Simpson finds that cattle can
be obtained in Texas that will answer
the purpose just as well, if not better,
than those of Kansas and other Northern
states, and thinks the business can be
carried on as advantageously as in
Omaha and other places. Range cattle
can be obtained there three months in
the year more than they ran np North
on account of the climate. They expect
to supply not only the Northern markets,
but the Southern as well, and, in fact,
the field is unlimited."

All fast train records is to be subordi
nated. Ever since the Empire State Ex
press has been running from New York
to Buffalo over the Central there has
been a desire on the part of some per
sons interested to bave a somewhat sim
ilar fast train to run clear through to
Chicago. The matter came up for dis
cussion at a meeting of the presidents of
the Vanderbilt roads, and it was decided
to begin such a train service on April
30th. The train is to leave the Grand
Central station every day at 3 p. m. and
arrive in Chicago at 10 o'clock the fol
lowing morning. This makes its run
ning time 19 hours, or five hours Icb
than the fastest train which is now
scheduled over any road. It will be
drawn by locomotives of the pattern
now used on the Empire State Express
and will consist of five coaches, one
buffet combination coach, one dining
coach and three sleepers, all of the Wag
ner vestibuled service.

The new assessment law is a trifle am
biguous, and different assessors are in
terpreting tbe laws in various ways.
Thus, the assessor of Wasco couutv will
not assess mortgage notes, w hile the II
liam county assessor has announced his
intention of assessing all the mortgage
notes that he can find. Justicedemands
that there should be a uniform assess
ment throughout the state. If the law
on the point is not quite clear, the as
sessors, who are not required to be law
yers, should be instructed how to proceed
by the attorney-general or some other
competent person. No county should
be compelled to pay more than its just
proportionate share of state taxes. We
understand that each county has had its
assessment blanks printed to suit itself,
and the, result it that scarcely two are
alike. Some have a column for mort
gage notes and tome have not. Seems
to us the blanks, like the assessment,
should be uniform. Fossil Journal.
The fact that Senator Mitchell, of Or
egon, was very much opposed to the ad
mission of senators wbo were appointed
after the legislate ret had been together
and failed to choose senators, was taken
by some of Senator Allen's friends in
Washington to mean that Mitchell and
Allen were personally hostils and that
it was Mitchell's personal objection to

doing toe business in its opposition to
consanguineous marriages by attempting
to pass a bill forbidding the marriage of
second cousins. A law prohibiting

it a moral to this, but few there be who

The new weather service location in

Wehfoot, They believe they have had

j Senator Matlock came home from
Portland this morning, and as asked
about the progress of preparations for
Oregon's world 't fuir exhibit. He re
plied that the exhibit! are now nearly
all in at Portland, where the work of
packing for shipment is busily in pro
gress. Thit it for the forestry and agri
cultural displays, which will be started
the last of this week for Chicago in five
cars. There will be a good display of
Oregon's agricultural products, grains,
wheats, grasses, wools, etc. One feature
consists of 140 different varieties of
grain, grown in one place, the Belshaw
farm, near Eugene. In the forestry dis
play is embraced many fine specimens
of the native woods of the state. A
little house, ten feet square, built of the
different woods Oregon produces, will be
a feature. The cost of constructing it
was $500. Eastern Oregon is well rep
resented in the exhibit, Mr. Matlock
having forwarded a good collection of
our products to Portland. There are
fine grains and handsome wood speci
mens, tamarack, black pine, quaking
asp, etc. Iluring the season of fruits
and vegetables Oregon's capabilities in
thit line will be shown at Chicago.
Senator Matlock will not go east to at
tend the exposition until September.
W. N. Matlock, who ij a Umatilla
county product himself, will probably
accompany the exhibit. East Oregonian.
Aeenaed of Killing: Bla Mother.
Bosto.x, April 6. Thomas Brown, a
picture-frame maker of dissipated char
acter, was arrested thit morning charged
with killing his mother, Mrs. Catharine
O'Meally, an old woman who lived at
72 Broadway, South Boston, by beating
her. Brown hat been a habitual
drinker for years, and for a week or
more constantly. He is about 33 years
old and a widower. Mrs. O'Meally,
the murdered woman, was married
twice. Her first husband's name was
Brown, and he has been dead some
years. Sometime after hit death she
married John O'Meally, who subse
quently left her. Tbe accused man
lived with his mother, and, according to
the statements of the neighbors, they
did not get along together on account of
Brown's drinking habits. Brown was
drunk last night, and this morning the
bruised and battered body of his mother
was found on the floor of her room.
