Cornelius of the International Carman's
Union, this morning presented to the
ueary and California street lines tne
same aemano as made upon the United
railroads, three dollars for
day. Any action that tonight's meeting
oi tne carmen will now apply to every
line in the city and if the order is a strike
it means a complete tieup. The independ
ent lines will undoubtedly follow the
United roads in refusing to grant the de
mands of the employees. The refusal of
the carmen to await the arrival of Presi
dent Calhoun, for an answer to their de
mands widens the breach and makes the
strike almost inevitable.

ENGLISHMEN DO NOT CONCUR
(Scrlpps News Association)
London, Aug. 25. The -afternoon
papers here generally ridicule President
Roosevelt's action in adopting the re
formed method of spelling. The Globe
says "Roosevelt will find, like William the
Conqueior, that it is easier to subdue a
people than its language." The Pall Mall
Gazette comments as follows: "Roosevelt
is likely to confound confusion with a ven-
gence. He cannot straighten out the or
thography of the English language, but is
more likely to succeed in making it more
crooked."

One who has occasion to travel any of
our country roads, cannot help but notice
the alarming rapidy with which the
abominating thistle is spreading through
out this county. In places they are so
thick that it is impossible to turn out of
the road with a team, and ysar by year
they are gaining stronger hold alcng the
country throughfares. It is the duty of
the road supervisor of each district to see
that the thistles are kept down, and a
failure to do so is in direct defiance of
our state law on this question. The
county court should see to it that the
supervisors of Wallowa county comply
with statues and cut down the thistles
which are standing along the road sides ail
over the county: silent witnessness of
neglect. A few years of wide-awaks
work on the part of road supervisors and
property owners will practically exterm
inate this pest, and we are in favor of
starting a crusade against the thistle.
