The report that liqaor is b ing carried , into the, Colville Indian reservation in large quantities for the big pow wow at Neepelom on the Fourth of July it a sure promise of trouble and possibly bloodshed. If the law is not strong enough to pre vent unscrupulous persons from taking advantage of this gath- make money by the sale of in toxicants, the result may be a long list of deid. It is imperative that the fed eral and state authorities take every precaution to prevent vio lation of the law, which prohi bits the carrying of liquors up on an Indian reservation or its distribution there. All infor mation received from the re servation indicates that the In dians are in a highly exoited state as a result of the celebra tion over the' monument to over the election of his successor With a few barrels of bad whisky surreptitiously distributed in the great crowd , small provoca tion would be needed to start a fatal row among the Indians. It is to be hoped that Captain Webster, the Indian agent and other officers of the law near by will act in time. Spokesman Review. Just be patient. The electrio railroad is still a possibility and we believe we are justified in putting it considerable stronger. ' With an increased acreage and these frequeut showers the bett crop gives every indication of being a record breaker this year. - La Grande is going , to have quite a celebration this year. And those who may come from out oi town will have uo com plaint for lack of amuRement. King Oscar has directed the court marshal to issue tbt ' fol lowing statement regarding the rumor that his mijesty would be willing to place a . prince on the house of Beruadotteon the throne of Norway: - "The king does not approve the idea and will not consent thereto. The only conditions under which bis majesty would consider this decision would be the unexpected expression of the wish of the riksdag that a prince of the house of ' Birnadotte should ascend the Norwegian throne." King Oacar hs issued a let ter expressing his thanks for all the proofs of loyalty and af fection he received recently from thousands of persons through out the country. 1 The representative on either ticket who will not promise to respect the voice of the people as expressed by the primary vote for United States Senator had better save his time and money by remaining off the llrnf HP nam artanffA frtV Oregon is net new . in 'several States where it has proven high ly satisfactory. The arrival at Seattle of the Dakota, sister ship to the Min nesota, gives the Hill lines the two largest steamships 1 on the acific coast. Not only are uvou gsvav vvogvi9 suv iai vov but in passeueer accommoda tions ihey are by far the. finest and most comfortable. In com parison with them the steamers ailing from San Franciscp under the flag of the Pacific Mail are cheap, - lacking room and unattractive. The bu'ld- ing of such vessels for freight and passenger traffic is one of I the best evidence Mr. Hill has given of bis broad appreciation of the future that is rapidly be coming the present for trans portation on this coast. The transcontinental railroads are briuging 3000 eaateru peo ple to Portland daily. This will mean if the preseut average con : tinues and it is expeated to in crease greatly,' about ; 3000. of whom many are homeseekers will see the great Pacific north west and will later take the trip of making thh their home. We need not expect too much at this time, that is in immediate results, but the fact that so many are coming cannot but help in great increase in popu lation.
