... Mr. Killin, Benton Killin, be of
the rotund head and gobulai body;
he who was appointed one of a select
committee of two to investigate the
southern shores of Alaska, with a
view to ascertaining the values and
possibilities of that strip for kitchen
gardens, small fruits and diversified
agriculture, has returned. Not only
has he returned, but he has reported ;
and not only has he reported, but he
has confirmed the vague ideas poss
essed by most people that Alaska as
an agricultural country will rot
averge more than three in a scale of
37. Mr. Killin manful ythat
garden truck can be grown very
- cheaply along the southern coast by
being planted in Washington, Cali
fornia and Oregon, and transplanted
by sailing .vessels when the garden
. sass is rite. The herring and codfish
groucds are- inexhaustible. The
grasses will grow luxuriantly, and by
, clearing the land, some snow-bound
philanthropist can make two blades
grow where one grew before. '
Benton tells all this cheerfully,
seemingly unconscious of the homely
old Persian proverb that "He who
tells all that he knows, often tells
more than he knows." Of course
Benton has not lold much, but there
is not much to tell. The department
bas secured through him and his col
league information much needed
by it, and we would suggest that the
commission be sent still further north
to pry into the possibilities of ' grow
ing garden truck on the Coppermine,
or raising beans by subsoiling the
remains ef Professor Andree's balloon.

DIRTY WOMAN.

hundreds of millions of sensetass

Under the . caption "The Silver
Question From " Way Back A Re
view that Connects Matters of the
Past with the Present Time," the
Oiesonian of Saturday takes The
Dalles papers to task, but especially
The Chronicle, for grcss misrepre
sentation..
The Chronicle asserted that the
Oregonian had advocated the free
coinage of silver, which was the
"gross misrepresentation it under
took to correct. The Chronicle
re-asserts its statement It will be
noted that in the Oregonian's refuta
tion it quotes from Itself to prove,
not only its power of prophecy, but
its position on free coinage; but it
goes back to low . and to IS8 to
find in its files anything that will
back its position. It says it could
quote hundreds of. articles similar.
Perhaps it Could, but they would
probably be fully as ancient. . It
dodges .the main point asserted, md
that was that the Republican plat
forms of this state since 1890 have
been free silver platforms, and it in
dorsed and worked for the success of
the party and the success of the prin
ciples of those platforms in 1890,
1892 and 1894." It bolted onh' in
1890. . -- '
. We have been told, on presumably
good authority, that the editor of
the Oregonian diew the financial
plank in the Republican platform of
1890 or 1892, but whether he did or
not we do not pretend to say. He
can answer that question - if he will.
WLether he did or not, he worked
for the success of the ticket; and
therefore indorsed the principles of
the platform. "
What the Oregonian did twenty
years ago is no pioof of what it did
four years ago, and no criterion by
which what it is now doing or will
do may be measured.
The ' editor of this paper may,jr
may not, know anything of the his
tory or principles of money. His
sources of. information have,, it is
true, oeen limited, fcr bis ideas were
formed largely from a close perusal
of the OregonianVeditorials on the
subject. ..
The fact is that . the. Oregonian is
against John II. Mitchell, and cares
but little for principles or politics so
long as it can down him. It de
nounced Simon, but took him to its
arms last winter to defeat Mitchell.
It advocated the election of Quinn in
preference to Ellis, though woiking
for Northup. It roastcdJonathan
Bourne and bis crowd, but joined
with them to defeat the will of the
party and down Mitchell. It in
dorsed the action of U'Ren and the
Populist gang in holding up the leg

road in 1894, just after the big flood,
that did not leave much between
Arlington and Troutdale but part of
the right of way. In three months,
from this wreck he brought forth a
railroad, and for nearly three years
despite the hard times prevailing all
over the country, and the general
business depression, he so managed
it that it paid-dividends and was re
stored to its owners in fine condition.
We have always believed, and we
still believe, that Major , McNeil's
success was largely due to the clear
judgment and wise management of
Mr. W. II. Hurlburt, who managed
the passenger department. Early and
late, in season and out, Mr: Hurlburt
worked to make the road the choice
of all tourists. He adopted a liberal
policy towards the public, and es
pecially towards the. country press.
The happy results of Major McNeil's
management was largely due to this.
From one eud of the road to the
other passengers realized that they
had someone, looking after their con)
fort and their interests. Local fairs
were fos'ercd and special rales given,
local grievances received prompt at
tention and speedy correction. Spe
cial rates were given to Portland on
every opportunity, and Eastern Ore
gon and the - metropolis were on
friendly terms. The result was that
while many complaints were made
as to the way in which the Southern
Pacific was managed, the O. R. &-N.
was held up as a model.
We regret to see that the liberal
spirit has been changed, and that a
system similar to that of the South
ern Pacific is ' being adopted. rThe
results will not be beneficial to the
road. We do not know the present
general manager of the road, but as
the system changed with the man
gement, we can only ascribe the
sudden changes in the passenger de
partment to him, and not to those
under him. -:
Portland and Eastern Oregon are
far enough apart now, and a littje

would . do so again under similar
conditions he is not capable of be
lieving that a single man of them
Mitchell included would 'ever give
a 'Vote for free silver as long as the
national platform of the party re
mains what it is. While we. always
condemned the attitude of a majority
of the delegation on the money
question, we had the frakneis- to ac
knowledge that they were simply
following the Instruction of "both the
slate and national platforms of their
party. The Oregonian never had
the frankness to make this acknowl
edgement, because it is insanely mad
against Mitchell for purely personal
reasons, and would . be equally mad
were he a delegate from the city
whose streets are' paved with gold."
Sunday's Oregonian contains a
dispatch from the paper's corres
pondent in Baker City slating that
Congressman Ellis bad told the cor
respondent that if an attempt should
be made in congress to pass a bill for
free coinage of silver by the United
States alonej he; would "most decid
edly vote against it." - The Orego
nian discredits its own repoiter, and
says "Mr. Ellis should put this state
ment in a public address so it may
be understood that there is no mis
take about it." And yet, when Sen
ator Mitchell put in a public address
his indorsement of the St. Loui
platform, the Oregonian was-not sat
isfied, but insisted upon his making
confession of faith in its columns.

ALVIN P. BARNABT.
A reporter recently called at this famous
eat of learning and was shown into the room
of the President, ProC Alvin P. Barnaby.
When last seen by the reporter Prof. Barn
aby was in delicate health. Tolay he was
apparently in the best of health. In re
sponse to an inquiry the professor said :
"Ohryes, I am much better than for come
time. I am aow in perfect health ; but my
recorery was brought about in rather a
peculiar way." ,
" Tell me about it," said the reporter.
"Well, to begin at the beginning." said
the professor, " I studied too hard when at
school, endeavoring to educate myself for
the professions. Alter completing the com
mon course I came here, and graduated from
the theological course. I entered the min
istry, and accepted the charge of a United
Brethren Chnroli at small place in Kent
County, Mich.' Being of an ambitious na
ture, X applied myself diligently to my work
and studies. In time 1 noticed that my
health was failing. My trouble was indi
gestion, and this with other troubles brought
on nerrousnessi -
"My physician prescribed for me for some
time, and advised me to take a change oi
climate. I did as he requested and was some
improved. Soon after, I came here as pro
fessor in physics and chemistry, and later
was- financial ageat of this college. The
change agreed with me, and for awhile my
health was better, but my duties were heavy,
and again I found my trouble returning.
This time it was more severe and in the
winter I became completely prostrated. I
tried varitfus medicines aud different physi
cians. Finally, I was able to return to my
duties. Last spring I was elected president
of the college. Aeain I had considerable
work, and the trouble, which had not been
entirely cured, began to afl'ect me, and last
fall I collapsed. Ihad different doctors, but
none did me any good. Professor Bow-uan,

gave great relief, such as I had never ex

I was entirely cured. To-day I am perfectly

Under the above title Mr. Hugh
Gourlay, editor of the Crook county
Journal, expresses the sentiments
published below. Mr. Gourla', dur
ing the last campaign, was an ardent
gold-standard man, and not a Mitch
ell follower. He indorsed and
worked for Judge Northrup for con
gress, and his manly stand concern
ing Mitchell and Ellis, whom he op
posed, is in such refreshing contrast
with the ; self-evident ax-to-grind
opinions of the Oregonian, that we
cannot refrain giving them . place,
Mr. Gourlaj' says:
"The Oregonian asserts that the
faction represented by the Oregon
delegaticn' and the 'Demo-silver-Popuhsts'
are now prepariug for an
alliance " to carry the June election
This is a very serious charge, and
one that ought not to be, made unless
it can be backed up with proofs
strong as holy writ. Till the f roofs
are furnished, the Journal refuses to
believe, a word of it. ; We are no
blind worshipper of the Oregon dele
gation, but they are not so abjectly
idiotic as lo imagine that any man
can get tue support oi uregon lie
publicans unless he is right on the
money question.
'Of course the Oregonian is strik
ing at Mitchell over the delegation's
brads, but how does the Oregonian
expect any man to believe that there
is an alliance between the Demo-sil-
vec-Populists and Mitchell Republi
cans, wuo Knows - tuat tiiese same
Demo-silver-Populists went clean
back on Mitchell at Salem last Jan
uary, because Mitchell stumped the
state for McKinley ' and would not
go over to Populism, and then
formed an 'alliance with the bcott-Simon-Corbett
faction, to holJ up
the legislature as the only . possible
way by whicE Mitchell could be deT
feated for United States senator?

The emperor of China is one of the
hardest-worked men in the world, and
according to a curious custom that I
have never heard explained he turns

The emperor's work day begins at one
o'clock p. m. He first sees the members
of the privy council, then he devotes an
hour or two to the consideration of
their reports - and recommendations,
and then he receives the members of the
official boards, viceroys, governors and

reason that those using one were un
able to decipher the others. So it has
been with rules of the road'on the deep,
and the' bottom of every sea, lake and
river is dotted with crumbling wrecks
and moldering skeletons as the Tesult
of fatal misunderstanding. In 1855 it
was realized that an international code
of signals was an imperative necessity,
and a year later one was adopted.
Since that time ships of all nations
have been enable to converse one with
the other, irrespective of the language
epoken by their crews, and great good
has resulted to all concerned.
When the question of means of com
munication was being considered, the
more important question of a universal
rule of navigation was neglected, and
it was not until 1SS) that the Wash
ington marine conference was - held.
After a oeries of discussions, which
lasted until the lastday of 1890, the new
rules were adopted.
The new rules are strict in their pro
visions, and will be rigidly enforced.
The regulations recardincr the carry
ing of lights on vessels at night are
very concise, and no excuses that they
were being trimmed, that the night was
moonlight, that it--was only a short
time after sunset, wall be taken. Pro
vision is made for all classes of ves
sels to carry lights af tr dark, and even
the smallest craft must exhibit a lan
tern with red dnd green slides when
approaching another vessel. Even row
boats are required to carry a light. A
system of lights will show whether a
vessel is towing and the character of
her tow, whether she is disabled, wheth
er she is laying or picking up cable,
and a thousand and one other things of
use in avoiding-collisions.
Signals for fogs are the subject of a
lengthy article" in the new rules, and
they differ considerably from the old
rules. Two additional rules are intro
duced, arranging for two prolonged
blasts to be given by steam vessels un
der way but not moving1 through the
water; and, second, for a long blast,
followed by two short blasts, to be given
by vessels towed and towing, vessels
not under command, -vessels riot able
to maneuver as required by these new
rules, and vessels at work on telegraph
cable. ' , -V ".
The steering rules for sailing vessels,
the overtaking rule and the rule for
sound signals for. vessels in sight of
one another are very complete and do
hot show wide or strongly-pronounced
divergence from the old rules. '"
