vj to the most avai.abie man on the re-

may make some other candidate more

a stronger and far abler man than Cam

Tiie members of the Oregon Tress .
Association from Western Oregon will
pass ttrocgn tonight on their way to
Pendleton to attend the annual meeting f
of the association, which will be called '
to order at that place tomorr-jw. They '
are a jolly lot and we regret with an '
upper case E, our inability to go with
them, for we know we will miss lots of ,
fun. and the very best time that can be
crowded into forty
eight hours. When
Pendleton and tbe Tres meet, the giow-
ing hour and Cying feet will Lave euch
a chase a would gladden the eye of a '
blind man to see. Pendleton knows
bow to entertain, and the Oregon new- '
paper men, God bless 'em, leave their
diffidence with the devil when they go
away from Lome.
Tae latest news from Caina is decid
edly interesting. The CLfbeee troops at
Wijo are said to have mutinied. The
army is lacking in two things, one is
patriotism and the other ammunition.
At "Yijn the trop mutinied and threw
away their arms, because they Lad no
ammunition. Peking is said to be in a
state of panic, the mention of the Japan
ese being fuffi' ient to make the whole
city tremble. The Jap on the contrary
are full cf fight and enthusiasm, and
that they will march on Peking is a cer
tain fact. China is already whipped,
her armiee are demoralized and her
people in a state of terror.
The next
month will how great things in the
Chinese empire.

anj Trl ve jj0 n3t remem'tier of I-ewis A
C.arke or any other of those who have
written of the Co. cmbia making mention
0f ,t He says:
-The upper par: of this ci.aia o: rapids
is a jerpndicular fal! of nearly sixteen
feet; after which it continues down
' nearly one uninterrupted rapid Kr three
miles and a half. The r.ver here is com
pressed ly the bold shore on each side
to two hundred yards or les in bread;:..
The channel is crowded with lare r.ks
over which the water rui.es with in
credible velocity ani with a dreatttil
noise. Above tne portage the river
widens to ab-oat naif a mile, and is
studded for some distance with several
jj- jj par:iil '
oo ied island. We
encamiJ ah-out 1
ve u...e- ir.iiu tne
portage, on a pretty ..tie creek on the
north side."'
What strike us as peculiar in his des
cription is the statement that "the
upper part of this chain ol rapids is a
perpendicular fall of nearly sixteen
feet." Ttere is no sach fall there now.
nor Las there been within the memory
of the oldest inhabitant. If it ever was
there, either tie rimrock that caused it
Las worn away, or the channel llow
Las become filiej wi;h bowlder. That
the change La? been made is possible,
though so marked an alteration does
not seem probable. The islands Le
speaks of as dotting the river above the
portage are some of them gone, and the
others going. Tbe one where Lewis
camped is now but a dot of rock and
ind, with a few willows growing on it.
certainly not large enough to sttgyest a
camping spot. The question is. was
there a perpendicular fail as described?
The pretty Utile creek Le speaks of i. no
doubt, Ilock creek, and the site of Mr.
Cox's camp is probably, aio the eite of
, tne p resent town of Stevenson,

The famous strike order of Judge Jen
kins made at Chicago last summer has
been considered beiorethe I'nited States
court of appeals, and Las been modified.
Jenkins, it wiU be remembered, decided
tnat a strike was necessarily i..ega..
Judge Harlan, of the supreme court,
Land.ed Jenkins' ruling very rougnly.
He held there was such a thing as a
legal striae and that the employes Lad a
t right to (-.sit work individually or in a
kitxfy regardless of the inconvenience it
might cause the employers. That part
of Jenkins ruling that they Lad no right
; o conspire to do damage or to em harass
was sustained. So it seems after all
that Judge Jenkins was not able to give
to corporation rights supierior to those
of the citizen, or to surround it with an
wtLpscy he woo. d be Tirtualiy a i.ave.
An1 8m;p. " otura. coroUary, if the ;
men cou.d not quit when they desired

Pn.fes'or G. W. Shaw, of tbe agricul-

Tiie J-inslaw l.a'.i hery was ccjpleted
this summer, and everytair.g prepared
fr the hatching of sa'moc. The-e wa
OLly one reason why the Lati-Jn-ry was
nt a success, and that Wits that there
were no chinooks. It sw:ii tiie g vern
nient ctiicers in charge of the work re
fuse to Latch any but ci.in x.ks. turning
a deaf ear and a cold thouider to the
silversides which are now running. Mr.
McGuire, the state fish and game pro
tector, through whose efforts the hatch
ery was established, savs there are
plenty of chinooks, but that the trsher
men caught them all lietore they got np
a far as the hatchery. Others, however,
claim that the institution is too near
tide water, and that consequently no
eggs can be procured. Whaterer may
1 the trouble, those in charge are pre
pared to ieave, and during the win
ter the place will be deserted.
If we were in charge of that
business we would set the officials on
one hatching of r.lrerside egg anyway,
if they never Latched one. Vncle Sam's
employes insist on drawing their salar
ies, and they would be doing as little
harm while incubating a batching of 1
silverside egg as anywhere. Most of
them are good setters anyhow, and the
maternal instinct ought to be cultivated 1
and encouraged.
