' The city of Haines, Baker county, is out
of debt and ha $1,300 in the treasurer.
' The Gat City Sun is soon to be issued
at Wallowa, one of the growing cities of
our sister county. R. A. Jones is the
editor.
For the first time within thirty years
Baker county will be out of debt on April
of this year. They have been working
hard for this result for several years and
victory in in sight.
While public sentiment is being formed
relative to bonding thecity for more water
and possibly for an electric light plant.
the needs of a sewerage system should
not be overlooked. Tne se eraga ques
tion must be met sooner or later.
Th report of th committee appointed
by Governor Mead, which recently made
an investigation of affairs at the state
penitentiary, contains a number of state
ments which should cause earnest con
sideration on the part of th lawmakers.
One is the necessity of a state reforma
tory where youthful offenders may be
j sent instead of looking them up in com
pany with hardened criminals and degen
erates. The report state that of a total
of 840 convicts in the penitentiary 145,
or over 17 per cent, are 21 years of age
or less. Under the present system these
young men, instead of having a chance
to reform, are thrown into the company
of men, who are skilled in crime, and are
often ready to Impart their knowledge to
other. .,.
Another feature of the report which is
of especial interest, is the statement that
619 of 840 convicts had led intemperate
lives and of the 456 who pleaded guilty,
over 95 per cent gave as an excuse for
committing th crime either being drunk
or being in bad company.
Where could one find a stronger temper
ance lecture than this? The saloons
Co use. directly or indirectly, nearly all of
the crimes committed, in consideration of
the privilege for doing which they pay a
license. The amount of license fees paid
thruout the state, however, does not
make up for capturing, trying and punish
ing criminals whose crimes are the re
sult of the liquor traffic, caring for the
sick and neglected wives and children,
housing the paupers, sheltering the insane
burying the miserable corpses that all
drunkards' graves an'l enduring the
greatest disgrace of the twentieth cen-
tury-the whisky selling system of today.

An open river is the cry that is inter
esting not a few of the people in Oregon
and Washington" Those active in the
work present a state. nent to the effect
that '.he locks at the Cascades and the
portage railroad on tne Columbia river
has already resulted in lower freights to
many points and further development
will result in still greater reductions.
Those who are in touch with the finan
cial conditions of the city recognize the
fact that the expenses are growinc in a
greater proportion than are the revenues.
The question is how are the revenues to
be increased. There ought to be some
way aside from a twelve mill tax.
One week from today our state legis
lature meets. Th question a to who
will be elected to the legislature seems to
a foregone conclusion but th fight
over th presidency of th senate and
speaker of the house is still on and will
continue until the legislatui is organ
zed.

All of the smallpox cases of which
there were only three during the last six
eeks. are out from quarantine. The
facts are that in two of three cases there
was considerable doubt as to whether
the cases were actually smallpox, but the
parties were quarantined in order to be
on the safe side. None of the cases were
of a serious nature. The authorities took
the matter immediately in hand, as a
result the disease has been stamped out,
