THURSDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1902. The near approach ot- the tiute for the Calling together of the state lawmaking body should re mind the people of this section the urgent need of legislation on a number of questions. Among these is one of the greuest importance to the Sheep growers of this country, the question of taxing migratory bands of sheep entering this coun ty for range. A hill should be in troduced granting the county court of the various counties permission to tax these migratory herds. The sheep men and s-11 stockmen of this district should unite and de mand of their representative that he push this matter. Bums Items. Speaking of the number of eggs laid and the number of times a hen lias set during the past sum mer reminds our horse editor of the fact that he has a hen that has laid three eggs and set 122 times dur ing the past four months and the larger part of the time she wes set ting on a door knob. This may be a case of misplaced confidence, but the hen was very industrious and deserves credit for her efforts. Had she succeeded in hatching a night latch she would have created a revolution in the industrial world equivalent to the one now in ope ration in Venezuela. . The Special Edition of the Scien tific American, devoted to Trans portation on Land and Sea, can not fail to attract widespread inter ests, both lecause of the very handsome manner in which it is gotten up and on account of the voluminous amount of information that it contains. It is safe to say that anyone that 'reads it carefully through ' will find himself thor oughly posted both as to the mag nitude and high, quality of our railroads and shipping. The Scientific American has its own characteristic way of presenting what some people might call dry statistical matter in an interesting form, and the present number is no-exception to the rule. Both artist and editor have collaborated to certainly very good effect, and we believe the number will meet everywhere with a hearty reception. Agitation is some times good, but sometimes too much of it is bad. Agitation along lines of pub lic utilities to be exploited for the good of communities is alway good. Such agitation is taking root at the present time in this country and a part of Wasco, which may in time bring forth good fruit. 1 This is nothing less than the building of a railroad up the Deschutes river from its mouth to the mouth of Trout oreek and thence ip said , creek to a point where an easy ascent can lie made ontc Agency plains and thence to Prineville by the most practicable route. This matter may assume definite shape at any time and it may be like many other railroad matters be years in reaching a point where it will be more than a shadowy myth, or legend handed down from generation to genera tion. The Dalles has capital wherewith to aid such an enter prise, but will it do bo is the ques tion. It should have been taught a lesson when the 0. R. & N. moved its carshops to Portland and virtually killed the town, but if it did there, is, no material evi dence of tho fact at hand. lithe old town was alive to its interests it would be up and doing and take hold of this railroad matter and help it along in any way possible for it means dollars for that place where it isn't getting dimes now. We will have something further to say , along thin line In the near future. .'. ' '! ' '' ' : , The death of Thomas B. Reed ends a career which, distinguished as it was, did not quite fulfil the expectations wJUvh had ken form ed by a number of his fellow citi- icns. During the period of his ascendency in the House of Repre sentatives, when his natural re sources, his knowledge, experience. courage and self-confidence were constantly in evidence, it seemed to many, both vt his supporters and antagonists, that hfl wa4 capa ble of achieving still higherrenoun if not designed to the only place of greater power than that which he wielded. Whether the continued exercise of those superior qualities which he undoubtedly possessed might have raised his fame and led to further advancement it is now an idle guess. Certain it is that he withdrew from the theatre of action while his position was unchallenged, and voluntarily sur rendered himself to professional pursuits in this ill-absorbing city, where great reputations' aie often eclipsed or quickly forgotteu. But the disappointed admirers of an eminent man are scarcely at lib erty to complain because, presum ably from creditable motives of self interest, he chooses to relin quish a public for a private station. And yet in the case of Mr. Reed there has been reason to regret ever since his retirement that he became disinclined, in the very prime of life, to devote his con spicuous talents longer to the ser vice of his country as a leadtr of the party by which he had been signally honored. X. V. Tribune. Loyd Griscom, the new Minister to Japan, is a citizen when at home, of Xorth Carolina. He may be a competent man for the position to which he has been appointed, but it is not likely that he knows much about the Pacific Coast, or cares anything about it. In Mr. Barrett Oregon and the other Pacific Coast States would have had a vigilant, energetic and exceptionally capa ble friend at the Japanese court, but Mr. Griscom will' have to be "shown" a good many things. It is as well, however, to assume that he is ready and willing to learn, and to do all in his power to serve our commercial interests in the Orient Telegram. J ft tflli UUlNblUlNMUlNi ; 4 .-.
