'.'.. It is probable that there will be a ii umber of rural free delivery routes which were established by Maoheu to secure political iiil'lonco, will be abolished. Perry Heath, former First Assistant Postmaster General, writes Post master, General Payne, "I proudly hold, myself responsible for all I did" but apparently Mr. Heath is so afraid his fellow citizens will hold him re sponsible for, all he . did. that he is going to famine stricken China, "for his health." In view of tho fact that the Jews in Russia are never allow to possess firearms, tho Czar's claim that the Jews started tho shooting is inex It seems impossible for the United States to avoid treading on the Kaisers toes.

Persons who attended the 'dedica tion exeroises of tho Graco .Reform Church lust Sunday were treated to the not altogether novol spectacle of Theodore Roosevelt as a sermonizer. , 6 - A litrtle Ooal'i strike, tulk at - this season oftho year , is a wholesome( ?) thing."

' ' t The state of Oregon Jias this week been-cast into gloom by the awful disaster of the .town of Heppner and the valley, of Willow Creek in easten Oregon. In a part ofthe state where it rains but little the heavens have opened and a veritable delugo of water has been cast upon the mountains and the plains and the .water with gather ing force and almost mountain high came down upon th city of Heppner and tho fertile valley in which the city lay and in a fewminutesjwrought untold distruction, destroying build ings, wiping out human lives and leaving in its wake a train of human death and disaster whioh appalls the luman mind and staggers belief. Four hundred people perished, men women an children, property to the amount of $1,000,000 was swept away and hundreds of people are home less and helpless. The country has generously responded to their cry of need and train loads of provision and clothing and tents and holpful nec essaries have rushed to thorn,.' The open handed charity of the people of the Northwest has been shown at its best. - No such calamity has. ever visited this coast or the Inland Empire of Oregon and let us hope that many years may come and go before another calamity of such appalling proportions shall be visited upon our people.
