By gtring in wrty reply to tu abor
questions yon will greatly oblige
an Invicihkh.
The editorial iMinraph to which
"An Inquirer'' refer was written
nomewhat hurriedly and more for
the purpose of Ailing up fiu.ee than
any thought of elicit' tig comment,
but siuee our correspondent and
some others are interested in the
subject we take pleasure in answer
ing the iuqniriert submitted to us.
Our reply, however, will have to 1h
quite brief.
1st Prof. O. S. Fowler was the
great apostle of the popular school
of phrenology, and according to his
doctrine it is a science which en
ables an expert in the profession to
descrile character each particu
lar intellectual and moral quality
of an individual by the elevations
and doDressious of the Hkull. This
is demonstrably alwurd. For in
stance "vitativeness," or the deaire
to live, is located by phrenology
over the mastoid process, behind
the ear a huge bump of bone into
which the surgeon's ltiueet is often
deenlv thrust without any fear
mm
of injury to the brain. The "per
ceptives'' form, size, color, weight
appreciation, etc., are placed along
the evebrow ridire, thonuh the
brain is very remote from that part,
and primitive races or even ajH-s
have the largest development of
that arch, Kact-A are now kuown
to have heud shapes jieculiar to
thenwelves; but only in a general
way does skull conformation indi
cate mentality.
2d, There is a new phrenology
which is being studied from tlie
standpoint of crauiology and cere
brology, and it includes not only a
study of the brain but several other
sciences whi jh the old school either
utterly ignored, or was defiant of
There is an able article on this sub
ject (somewhat extravagant jht
haps) in the August number of the
Popular 8cience Monthly.
3d. In our reply to your first
inquiry we have briefly outlined
the Fowler-Wells theory, as we un
derstand it
4th. "Bumpology" is a satirical
term used to designute the popular
conception of phrenology.
Messrs. Pentland & Itcll are not
responsible for the alove statement
of opinion.
FALLS C1TT HAILKII.il.
Since the building of new rail
road lines is being actively dis
cussed in other parts of
the state, perhaps it would
not be amiss for us to again
call attention to the proposed route
from Independence via Monmouth
to Falls City on the Little Luck
iamnte. There is probably no oth
er local road in the state of so much
importance as this one. A road
which is absolutely necessary to
the shipping interests of one of the
finest agricultural regions of the
Willamette valley, Ixodes afford
ing an outlet to the great timlier
region in the mountains along the
waters of the Luckiamntc. It is
estimated that the timtcr supply of
this region is amply suflicicnt for
the wants of half the Willamette
valley for the next twenty years.
The motor line in operation between
this place and Monmouth is a stand
ard gauge and could easily carry
freight traffic. The road bed
between Monmouth and Falls City
is of easy grade and could be put
through comparatively cheap.
There is no question but this road
will bo built in the near future.
The sooner the scheme is placed
upon a solid footing the better for
all parties concerned. There is al
most enough local capital interest-;
ed in the scheme to practically iw
sure its completion, and by an
energetic effort the road could bo
pushed through within the next
fifteen months. Falls City probably
has the finest water power in the
Willamette valley excepting Ore
gon City, and whenever a railroad
is completed to that point, then,
manufacturing interests are sure to
be developed there. The tows is
favorably located in many particu
lars; a country around it rich in ag
ricultural wealth, and the mountains
just back of it full of the fluent
timber white, red and yellow fir,
spruce, cedar, hembock, oak, alder
etc FallB City has a promising fu
ture. Besides, Monmouth and Inde
pendence are sure to build np and
develop into large and thriving in
dustrial centers of far more than
average commercial importance.
You can buy tiokets East to any coint
direct from Independence to destination

A NTHONU MAN, ,
The new governor of South Caro
lina, is prolmhly t he most original
nud forcible elmraeU'r that the Al
liance movement bus yet bnntghl
into lHilitiral lu-omliu'iuHV That
(lov. Tillinun Is un able and in
dependent man is evident from the
tone of his inaugural nddiiss ami
the, strength and deftness of hand
with which ho bundles the political
reins. In the Interest of clean poli
tics and good government it is to
be hoped that this modern t'inelu
nutwt will heubloto suiHHssftilly
curry out the refornm which he so
ably advocates. The governor says
that lynch law nutst lx suppressed
if be has to remove every sheriff in
the state. Xext the law must 1k
more, promptly and efficiently ex
ecutedone fair, Npvedy trial and
that must end it. Professional jury
men and drunken justices must go.
In the mutter of educational rel'orm
he advocates the wiping out of the
military school and its appropri
at ion used for a girls' sehool which
should do away with oil painting
etc., undlcarh sonmthing pntctieal
and useful Instead. This leono
clastic governor also any that the
"Ux-dodgers" lsith isirpornte and
individual must Uar their share of
the taxi's. Lastly be advocates u
new state iHUistitutiou so framed as
touiutually protect the interests of
"two nut who could and should
live together In peace." tiuv. Till
man is evidently a man of broad
political views whowo patriotic love
of country rises superior to all pai
tv considerations. Nuch men ai-e

of non -partisanship that we men
lion the reforms (lov. Tillman is

write a brief account of the affair. Al
most every one in the community took
an active part in arranging the program,
decorating the true mid helping along
generally. At a rather early hour people
began to Hock into the little church, and
about 7JII) p. m. the house was arowded
and the program was on, First was a
song by the "Tonic Hoi far" class, followed
with prayer by Mr. V. E. Ooodnll. Then
a bountiful recitation "The Hidden Trun
dle Ued," by Mis Mattio Dompsy. This
was emphatically the finest effort of the
eroning, and elicited prolonged applause.
Messrs Ellis Hamington, Ernest Mtensou,
Charlie Smith and 0. F. Stoner rendered
a musical quartette quite acceptably.
The Itickreall orchestra rendered lome
lively musio specially svlootcd for the oc
oasion, after which Miss Jessie Toner
gave a recitation entitled the "Insonpe
Hook," iu a very pleasing manner. The
fluid act on the program wag a double
quartette by Sadie Samlngton, Fannie
Orr, Lilhe Siimiugton, Ellis Saiuiugton,
Ernest Stinson, Charles Smith and A. K.
