For a shorter time It has bsen observed that the effeminacies of complex and high ly developed civilization lead to an es cess'of women, through greater lon gevity as well as mor; numerous births. Can It be that the customary tem per and habits of a people touch the profound springs of life, as the pres ence of an Inactive salt determines a .precipitation; that the rugged senti ment of patriotism and the manly ex ercises of arms stimulates mala births, while Idleness and luxury encouraga rfemale? It would seem so from com parison of the vital statistics of Ger many with those of Great Britain. In the canker of the long peace of the nineteenth century Germany achieved an excess of females, which is constantly falling under the military empire. Though the male death rate is higher, the excess of women In the population has been decreased from 33 to 26 the thousand In thlB year whefl military maneuvers will call more than a million to the colors. TOO BAD, TOO BAD. In the halls of congress a very vig orous debate has Just ended. The ques tion was relative to bald heads and whiskers and every congressman (was in his proper place to defend his head and bia face from pointed remarks. NJck Longworth really said something that was cunning. First time for Nick since he was elected. ' And there were others who talked, but the thing that struck terror to the hearts of Eastern Oergon people was the absence of W. R. Ellis, Why .could not that debate have come up two years ago when Ellis was in congress and before he shaved off his beard. Eastern Oregon's second district was then in position to outwhlskfer any bewhiskered movement that might nave coins- up, even iiaii ii come iruiu Russia. Peffer In ais palmiest days never could show such a luxuriant growih. of real whiskers as could our former congressman. But, alas, too late. John J. Infealls' opportunity failed to put in an appearance at the right time. When the event did come off this district had a young man in the chair who never wears a bear and from his youthful appeafance it is a a question whether he needs the as sistance of a barbs r.

Miller over his Milo maize introduction into Oregon is amusing. Mr. Miller is a railroad official a good one but , when It comes to following the plow ami screaming "Whoa" at a , pair of unbro ken horses W believe 'he would . re ef;:!! that Job and seek the adding ma chine trtd rr.t? sheet. Milo mates, as Mr. MiPer says, Is n corn and is raised the same as corn is r'.Ised. Here is the stumbling blo'k. ' V s.rfst majority of western -paopla ""iuld r.:ver raise corn or Milo mates 1 it is miahty hard work. VThcit terming, fruit farming and all (he foducts grown In this region are ma urtd with little work compared to : airing a fteld of corn. If Mr. Miller will produce something that does not require so much work to product then he may become popular as a country developer but he must get something easier than Milo maize. . .' Jim Hill sent the pure bred bulls Into the range country and did a grtat good for the stock of that region, thus helping the railroads to more tonnage and a better tsrlcultural condltldn. Perhaps Mr. "'.Her may do equally aa well, but net with Milo maize. Wooltex Suits for Ladies 1 Beniamin Clothing for Men Ouimteei Im seasons .

She evidently does not realize what a climate she is missing or she would be glad to live with Sidney on his lonely claim near Burnt river. H. H. Corey resigns from the secre tary of state's office, because, as he puts it, the governor wanted him to promise not to run for the office if he was retained as a deputy. If this U true probably the people elected some politicians of the old school last fall. Mayor Gaynor of New 4 York has some loyal attaches. One man resign ed rather' than embarrass the admin istration. Guess they still do a little real politics In New York.
