A HAIRY REVOLUTION.
PEOPLE ARE INVESTIGATING.
Home people who are earning more
than their living' and, who are looking
for small Investments have begun to
Investigate the offerings nearby. Th
saneneas and reasoning has taken hold
of the community and we believe that
a Laurelhurst or Kenton salesman
"would now have a hard tira? Interest
ing La Grande money, whereas a few
weeks ago this city was looked upon
as easy prey .for the "fly-by-night"
agent. Today It la some different, for
the Investor Is asking,, "what r:turns
am I to set on my money? Am I to
wait until a quarter century elapses
before the .town lot in Portland is
within reasonable distance of settle
ment so that I can turn my property?
These Questions when , rightly put
-are what queers the agent Most of
the smooth sharks would rather sell
lots from a blue print than to show
their customers the real estate tn all
its physical appearand, for Jrcquoiuy
mere are ditches, hills and brush
piles which do not look good to the
eye, whereas the blue print eliminates
all of them and only show the good.
Look at the pictures being run In the
newspapers of some of the additions.
Very pretty to look at but go and see
the property. You will be disappoint
ed, and you will be nior? disappointed
If you hate invested a few hundred
dollars and cannot get loose.

If every American man should sud
denly take to the 'Scottish kilt' and
bare legs, it would be no more of ar
innovation, nor mean nearly, so much
as docs the present queue cutting In
Chlna where 40,000 queues were cut
off in Hong Kong alone in December,
, while there were hair cutting festivals
in many of the large coast cities and
such outlying placs as anlla, Singa
pore and other cities of the Straits
settlements, says The National Guard
Magazine for March.
It must be remembered that vas
China is ruled by a handful of Man-
; chus who conquered the land four cen
' turies ago and as a mark of subjec
tion compelled hi men to wear the
"pig tail" while the women were ob
liged to bind their feet.
I This also prevented the movement
' of families, as the wom:n could not
hobble far, while the braid of hair was
easy to graso and several prisoners
could be tied together. ,
- In time these marks of subjection
became the most hlehly 'ssrc2 iiu
biems of loyalty. But today the cry is
"China for the Chinese" and maybe
the ManchuB day has set
Starting with the radicals of the
New China party, the docking of the
queue was urged by them as th 3 visi
ble and necessary sign of an accept

It was mot more than three years
ago that tie New China party started
the queueless crusade and so rapidly
has the fovement spread that before
the end of last year a riscript from
the dragan throne Itself advised the
wholesale cutting of the hair and the

it national parliament, passed a meae
ire commanding the removal of al
queues.
This cbang: is all the more slgnifi
cant in that it came from Chinese In
spiration and not through foreign sug
gestion. Thirty and more years ago
the foreign missionaries in China at
tempted to make headway against the
practice of foot bind and their sug
gested innovation was at first bitterly

last ten or fifteen years that anti-foot
binding societies composed of Chines'

vil and now the reform is by n'
means general.

AX APPALLING DISASTER.
The whole country was shocked Sat
urday evening when the Even ng Ob
server and other evening papers an
nounced a fiarful ifire In New York
city where over a hundred young girls
lost their lives. Strange as It may
seem in the metropolis of this nation,
the building was too high to be reach
ed by life saving devicis. Most peopi--
believe that fire protection is looked
after more closely than that. Few
can realize that nrmior. v.'cull 1
granted to build a building so h'g'.i
that Art men, trained in their work
could not reach the top from the
ground In order to save human life.
Vet such Is the case, Thousands of
people gaihered around the burning
structure and saw young women in the
prime of life burned to death. Not
one, but over one. hundred of them.
Their dead bodies choked the eleva
tor shaft and the street was piled with
dead bodi;s, much like the yeoman
piles his cordwood. It is all tco hor
rible to contemplate:
Can it be that in the mud rush for
the dollar at this day and age that
safety of life is so little thought of?
Can it be that poor girls who are
forced to work in cities are not only
to undergo th;- agony that heavy con
stant toil brings, but that they must
also be subjected to vdeat1i in order, to
earn their living? It would seem that
Instead .of th's grandstanding political
reform and other limelight reforms
now in progress that some good phil
anthropist should take more Interest
In the factory situation.
