A WORD IN TIME
-." 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

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.
