All old cans and trash of every description should be removed. Hundreds of visitors will be here, and the city should present as attractive appear once as possible. isothiug like a clcau city to impress the strangers within our gates. Perhaps if the big department stores in Portland had closed one day during the recent rose carnival, giving their clerks a needed and deserved rest, and showing to the people their consideration to their employes, and proving that they were loyal to the promoters of the carnival, they would have done a better business. From all reports it was extremely dull in all the de partment stores during the carnival. Letter from A. T. Boldon North Powder, Ore., Tunc io, 1910. Dear Mr. Kditor: Your kindness in publishing my other comtmtnicn tion from Council, Idaho, led me to write again, and hope that your readers may bear with me In giving in detail what my impressions arc of Eastern Oregon. I went from Council, Idaho, by rail, to Hunting ton, 'Oregon, thence down the Snake River on the new line that is being built by the O. R. & N., on a water grade down that stream so as to avoid the hills between Huntington and linker City. At Kobcnctt I took stage to Richland, 14 miles over into Jingle Valley. Kagle Valley is a widening out of the Powder River Valley and is about ten miles across any way you go, all finely irrigated by mountain streams, and as fine peaches, apples, strawberries, and cherries as I have ever seen grows here in abundance. And here let me stop and correct a false impression that I got In Yakania Valley several years ago about irrigated lands. As all know Pcrrlne Editor Review: I noticed In your last Issue an article "on Hinduism" by our esteemed friend, Capt. Snow, In which he said many Rood things. They "are here as a carload of cattle arc at the stock fords of any market of the Pacific coast." I should like for the wofkersof St.Iohns to study this declaration well, for it 11 as true as gospel. Now notice his de scription of how they live: "25 or 40 will rent a 16x20 room," What does this mean to you, Mr. Worker? Say, can you draw n conclusion? If not, get S or 40 of your own kind and rent a room 16 x2o, and there by the light of a degrad ed civilization study the wage slave mar ket. Now, Cap., here Is something for you: Quoting from the Natlonnl Rcnub lean platform of 1884: 'The republican party, having its birth in the hatred of slave labor, and n desire that all men may be truly free and equal, is unutter ably optiosed to placing workingmcn in competition with any form of servile la bor whether at home or abroad. In this spirit we denounce the importation of contract labor whether from Kurope or Asia as an oHcnsc against the spirit of American institutions." Also republi can platform of 183: "We declare our hostility to the introduction into this country of foreign contract labor, and of Chinese labor, alien to our civilization, etc.. etc." Uton this nlatfornt Hcnla- min Harrison was elected president of the United States. In 1892 the demo cratic party elected C rover Cleveland up on a similar platform. "We heartily ap prove of all legitimate efforts to prevent the United States from being the dump ing grounds lor me known criminals ana paupers of Uuropc to degrade American labor and lessen Its wages." To my mind this shows that the Ameri can people are opposed to cheap la!or. Why? llccause cheat) labor "degrades" the laborers by lowering the standard of tncir living, now, lie who would tie grade me or my home, or my town, or state or nation is my enemy, and should be treated as such. Hut is that the Hin dus? No, no I It is your mls-reprcscnta-lives, from president down, It Is the capitalist class who upbuild chattel slav ery and had to be licked by true Ameri cans, Now Cap., you remember when the supreme court said to you twys of the '60s shut up your mouths and be qui et, that you did not do it, but cried out the more: "Down with the Secession, we will be a united coplc," and all hon or to you, We feci that we would lift the Hindu up; but we are opposed to having him drag us down, This we can do by excluding 111 ita alid all others of his class from our ihorcs, and all other who would like to sleep with them In their 16x20, Now I hojte that you can sec that the only thing the laborers can do Is to orgtnlrc themselves Into a po Iltlcal rty Independent of all capital ist parties and tibolltli that which would enslave them, by Mtnbllililtiu a system of ro-ojwratioii. Then we will not wrong the Hindu or he ui. In conclusion would say, please read the Socialist program, O. I,. I'HRKINH. Snow Has a Dream Hdltor Review: 1 Dare I again ask your Indulgence and space for a dream? On the night of June 21, aftcrn long Inter view with the moguls of the socialist movement in the city of St. Johns, they well knowing that I was and now am a staunch republican, and to dissuade me and convert 1110 to the socialist belief held out to me the following Induce ments based upon the following facts, You Peel Soup and .WELL ARMED WITH MONEY IN THE BANK.

Only a few days at Baker City, then on to Haines in same valley, 10 or 12 miles down valley, mere we staked down for about 10 days. Not so hot here as it was in Kugle Valley owing to altitude and snow covered mountains all around, only a few miles distant, and here too, fine cold water iu all the irrigation ditches coming as it does from snowcapped mountains. At Haines a great number of the farmers have their own automobiles and at even tide there can be seen autos bob bing in all directions. Here is one of the hot springs over which an immense hotel has been erected and running in full blast, where for 25 cents one can take a plunge bath iu water heated by central fires of old Earth. Here at North Powder, 10 miles toward Iagraud from Haines, it is 3,400 feet above sea level and surrounded by snow capped mouutains, fine water, and town has about 500 to 1,000 people, All irrigation, alfalfa and stock raising.
