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.

Oregon's Game Law..
Game Warden Quimby has filed
his annual report in the office of
the governor. He reports encour
aging progress in game preserva
tion and a bright outlook for the
future. He recommends a num
ber of changes in the game laws to
cover the following points: Ab-
olute prohibition of sale of upland
birds; shortening opening season
for upland birds 15 days; prohi
bition of spring shooting; reducing
the number of ducks that may be
legally killed in a day from 50 to
25; reducing the number of tro(ut
that may be caught in a day from
125 to 50; erection and mainten
ance of screens at heaijs of water
ditches; establishment of a trout
hatchery; removal of restriction
from killing geese; removal of pro
tection to black bass; increase of
bounty on cougars and . wildcats
from 12 to 15;' bounty on crows;
increase in penalties for violations
of game laws; provisions enabling
taxidermists to pursue their pro
fession under certain restrictions;
non-resident hunting license; gun
license for residents of state; pro
hibition of killing of sagehens for
a number of years; changing open
season on deer, making open sea
son begin August 15, instead of
July 15. He recommends that the
United States forest rangers be
commissioned as deputy game and
forestry wardens and also that the
state publish a pocket manual of
the fish and game laws.
