, EASTERN OREQON'8 FUTURE
A .new era la dawning- for Eastern
Oregon, an era of prosperity, of 1m
provement and of settlement. Its vast
areas now used for pasturage are be
J Ins located by the homeseeker, and
the bis ranges will soon be a thing of
v the past. Cook County, owing to its
advantageous situation and easily
t . controlled waters, Is the, first to feel
: the effect Of tha coming change.
i Heretofore It has been looked upon
; as has the larger portion of Eastern
Oregon, as fit only for gracing pur
- .poses. ..There rnever was a . greater
- mistake. Its soil is of the best, and
the defiolent rainfall is all that pre
- ? vented TflXilng settled long ago. Tlw
" 'Irrigation projects now under way, and
deficiency, and make it the greatest
county In the state.
Few people realize the magnitude
' of Oregon. A few figures on Crook
County, will serve to convey some Idea
of It, and yet it IS not nearly so large
. as either Malheur or Harney, and Is
. at least equaled by Lake and Klam
ath.
It contains In round numbers 10,000
square miles. It is eight times as
i Urge as the state of Rhode Island;
four times as large aa Delaware;
double the sU of Connecticut: largo?
than Massachusetts, New Jersey or
Vermont and almost as large as Mary
land. It had In 1900 a population of
S8J6,and at this date has probably
V: about 4500. Massachusetts, smaller
' by 1500 square miles, has a population
of 2,846,(70. Connecticut, half Its size,
has 900,000, while If the county were
as densely populated as Khode Island
It would contain 8,600,000 people.
y Clearly Crtok County ha nit

stock raising, and indeed, much of It
--- devoted to nothing. Indicates the won?

' 180,000 sheep. This would give to
"each animal 80 acres. Clearly there Is
: Toom for another cow or two, and a
few, more sheep. Today each man,
woman and child within its borders,
bag two sections of land to turn
around in. There are 1,147 school
, children, and If the oounty was ev
f only settled, it would have one child
of school age for every nine sections, or

age of 36 pupils to the school district.

HILL FACES The, TIGER.
For 10 years the Unbending, Mem
old diplomat, David B. Hill, has not
faced an audience In ' Tammany Hall.
Personally and politically, Hill and
Croker are bitter enemies.'- So long as
Tammany was Croker's plaything. Hill
has maintained his "Silent, scornful
front; he has relaxed none of the hard
rigidity of face nor softened none of
the old bitterness of his nature. Scorn
ful, silent, haughty, with dignified uni
formity of contempt. Hill has kept the
tiger at bay. To notice Tammany in
the slightest degree, would have been
a humiliation before Croker, its boss
and patron saint. To work with it.
was to admit its equality with him, so
he has stood aloof, a cold, imperious
spectator of its mingled adversity and
Joy.
Able to wield a magic power In his
state, conscious of the honors it had
bestowed upon him, keenly sensitive to
the need of reconciliation, he has been
teadlas t a . tlu. lu&thla statue . lie ,Q
well resembles. The state conflicts
have waged their mimic wars about
him; he has seen the rise and fall of
the struggling chieftains of that mas
terful organization; he has studied the
great Issues and principles surging In
the arena of naonal conflict yet
sternly and grimly he has walked
apart.
Too great to be peevish; too sensible
to question the right of Tammany to
live; too unbending to forgive or ask
forgiveness; too much of a diplomat to
seek entire seclusion, he has stalked In
the shadows of the political battle,
awaiting that day when his mortal
enemy snould lose his power, his
prestige and his following, to emerge
from that shadow, like some forgot
ten spectre, to grasp the standard of
his party and carry Tt to triumph.
The first time in 10 years, Hill has
faced the tigers.
But under what changed conditions!
Croker is gone from the stage. The
victorious. Jubilant host of that hal
cyon day is shattered, scattered to the
winds. Succeeding fights have weak
ened Its strength. Succeeding captains
have shorn its fleece and left it In the
biting winds of defeat Hill has not

THE THIEF AND MURDERER,
On Friday night, a lone robber held
up the North Coast Llmfted on the
Northern Pacific, killed the engineer
who resisted him, robbed the mall and
express cars, terrified the fireman and
express messenger Into submission,
carried away the booty and made his
escape In the darkness.
That one man could accomplish
this crime, with such sorrowful re
sulta, is one of the wonders of modern
brigandage. ..The outlaw is us re
sourceful as the law. He has the ad
vantage of the desperation which ac
ewnpaniee - such ventures and the
heedlessness of his thirst for money
andjblood.
It is sad to relate trie details of this"
tragedy. The employe who is in the
faithful discharge of his duty, must
give up his life. The page is abruptly
blurred. The family that depends
upon this willing hand and cheerful
heart for sustenance and sunshine, Is
rudely deprived of Its help, The fren
zied thirst for self brushes away every
consideration of Justice or mercy.
The robber Is a murderer at heart,
when he plans his crime. He will kill
to succeed, or to avoid being caught.
It Is a pity that law is so powerless
to apprehend this class of criminals.
The rough country shields him. Na
tur.e, unwittingly, aids his escape. The
guilty, bloody-handed thief and fluff,
should find swift retribution awaiting
him at the hands of the law. Time
should not be wasted.
STATUS OF THE AUTOMOBILE.
France has recognized the automo
bile to be one of the fixtures of the
country, and has fixed regulations) for
it the same as for railroads, street
cars and other means of tranaixrKi
tlon. The first nd jmost important regu
lation was that of requiring the auto
to be handled by an expert. The law
of France requires that the auto be
driven by no one except a licensed
man, whose photograph Is to be
placed upon his license, and he is re
quired to exhibit his license whenever
he may be called upon by a govern
ment official. Recent horrible acci
dents there have driven the govern
ment to more stringency In enforcing
these regulations. A government bu
reau Issues the license, after due ex
amination. Inspectors see that no
person drives the auto who has not
this license.
The speed Is regulated, very strictly
Iru streets of cities and villages.
3CWrt cKlJ9mit?rsijipnr . Jnihe
country and 20 kilometers In cities is
the maximum speed limit.
In this city and state the auto is a
fixture. It is one of the new devices
which laws must regulate as the
movements of other public convey
ances are' regulated. Shall the state
or city regulate their use?

A very plain man In Glasgow has a
very pretty daughter. One day she was
sitting on his knee before a lookingglass.
She contemplated the reflection of. their
two faces and then asked:

"Yes. dear." he replied.
"And did He make you?"
"Yea," - " -; -- - -- -.

Labor's Victory.
For over four months tiie United
Mineworkers of Pennsylvania and ..est

an increase of 20 per ceni n tnelr wages
and for the right to have tneir griev
ances in future submitted to arbitration.
During all tots time the mine operators
have held out as Stubbornly against
granting any concessions, ut at last
they have conceded one of the demands
that of submitting the difference be
tween them and their employes to arbi
tration.
Whether the decision of the board
sua . c favorable to the miners or not,
stilt a great victory -has been- won-by
the miners. They ve established a
precedent that they have Interests that
must be recognized, and that tuelr griev
ances must be neeueu. Of all the labor
strikes in ,the history of the United
States, this one has done more for or

The strike altuation is at a point

they do this, they have won a victory

Victorious Labor.
Labor has at last won. It has had a
long and bitter fight, but It la compensat
ed for all of its hardships and suffering.
It has not been the .gnt of a few months
In - ennsylvanla, but this is tha culmina
tion of a fight f6r years. This Is the vic
tory of the men who went down at the
Kast St. Louis bridge. This la the vic
tory of the men who fell in the great
Carnegie steel strike. This la the vletcr
of the men, women and children who
have struggled, starved and fall in with
in all of thesd years In the oauwa-of la
bor. This Is the victory Of organized
labor and for every individual that atip
poted It.
It Is a permanent victory for labor.
It Is past the crisis with labor. I, has
taken its place In the front row with or
ganized institutions at last. O'ganlzed
capital no longer has the advantage. Its
wealth and influence will no longer givt
prestige. Right and numbers piace la
bor by its side on a firm footing and
upon an equal basis. No power on earth
will ever be able to dethrone It again.
Qnce successful, it has gained the. con
tinence and support of alt mankind, and
has become a real factor In tiie affairs

Evidence of Bad Faith.
The coal operators who are locking
their doors against union men are pur
suing a policy that w.u probably result
in another great strike, and aie giving
evidence of bad faith. Repesen'stlves of
workmen agree to the arbitration plan
and were backed up by the men by un
animous vote. Representatives of the
operators likewise agreed to submit tn
differences to arbitration, but now some
of tha operators are going back on their
word, a nis shows a littleness that is
beneath the dignity of capital and
brands the offending operators as un
truthful perverts. The miners, mean
while, will not Injure melr own Interests
by calmly meeting every new sltjat'on
that arises and refraining from any Vt
of violence. Astorian.
Roosevelt's Victory.
President Roosevelt has scored a great
moral victory for the Interests of human
ity in general, and for the coal miners in
particular in securing arbitration of their
strike in Pennsylvania.' This shoWs what
the executive head of a great nation can
accomplish without a law, and with the
only backing of a righteous cause and a
strong sense of Justice. The people have
a right to look to their officials to lead
them In the solution of great problems.
Roosevelt has more than filled the expec
tations of the people, as a man of courage
and of action. There Is nothing more un
christian than the assumption of capital
that it can monopolize the natural wealth
of the world in which we live, and not

the improvement of that great artery of

great cities of the state depends upon the
maintenance at a high point of efficiency
and the enlargement of the state's artifi
cial waterway, and their citizens note
with appreciation that the Democratic
platform declares unreservedly for the
construction of a thousand-ton barge
canal.
Tha great object lesson furnished by
the coal strike will not have been forgot

markable Illustration of how a trust can

THE JEW IN AMERICA.
Sociologists in search of things to write
about are making a text of Secretary
Hay's Roumanian note for disquisitions
on 'ilka future, of the. Jew in America,"
The future of the Jew In America Is to
be an American.
There is no element of our varied popu
lation that more readily and enthusias
tically assimilates with the democratlo
environment than the Jews.
They are glad to be here, and every
body who knows what is good for the
country Is glad to have them here, for
they are a sober, industrious, intelligent
and law-abiding people.
The fact that a great many poor He
brews are massed In New York presenia
no "problem" to any real sociologist.
Only the pompous sham ones are alarmed
by a local evanescent condition. Poverty
ties Jews, like other men, to the place
where they find themselves and ura
obliged to struggle for a living. It is be
cause New- York la the chief port of en
try fer European Immigration that so
large a proportion of Jews of foreign
birth are collected In this city. And what
harm do they db? With. Increase of

WHAT IS BIRD'S-EYE MAPLE.
"What is bird's-eye maple?" That is a
question which Just now seems to be baf
fling not only people who use furniture
made of this particular wood, but even
woodworkers themselves. In a recent
number of a woodworking magazine an
article was published which stated that
bird's-eye maple was not a peculiar ma
ple, but simply ordinary maple cut in a
certain way. In a recent Issue of the
New York Sun that statement is refuted.
It is there stated on the authority of a
woodworker, that blrd's-ey maple and
curly maple are both cut only from the
logs of the rock maple tree, Acer saccha
rinum. in which a beautiful lustrous grain
is produced by the sinuous course of the
fibers. This tree is not at all the com
mon hard maple. It is a hard maple, but
it Is full of little gnarls called eyes.
Men looking for bird's-eye maple logs go
through the standing timber and pick out
the bird's-.eye maple trees, paying for
them $3(1 'to $50 a thousand feet in the
woods. '" 'Ordinary hard" innple' logs are'
worth only from $8 to $7 a thousand feet.
It would be impossible to cut a piece of
veneer with eyes in it from a common
hard maple log, and it would be equally
Impossible to cut a bird's-eye maple log.

Cavellere Emlllo Rlvela, the leader, WA
accorded quite aa many ovatlona person
ally as were given to his perfectly trained
military band, at the Marquatn Grand
Theater on Monday night. Rlvela leads
with such command over the musicians
as compels them to his slightest bidding
In carrying out lua lofty -conceptions ol
Interpretation and expression.
It was a discriminating audience that
assembled to hear the players from the
land of music and flowers and sentiment.
Their verdict was Indicated In the fact
that they compelled encores to every
number on a program that ran the
gamut of musical composition, from
heavy classical to popular. The program
opened with the "Festival March" of
Rlvela's own composition, a brilliant,
dashing lumber that was much enjoyed.
. The next number was to have been the
overture from the opera of "Mignon,"
for which the William Tell overture was
substituted on account of Slgnor Carancl,
French horn soloist, being unable to
make an appearance. The William Tell
selection was superb, especially hi tha
crashing passages, in which a military
band would naturally find most efficiency.
rxarotasus," a pretty tmng by tne late
Nevla, was the encore, and this was fol
lowed by a trumpet solo by Slgnor Palma
who played "Some Day" by Willlngs.
The intermezzo Manon Lescant, Puc
cini, followed, and after It came selec
tions from the opera of "Faust," Gounod,
with solos by Sign or I De Mitrls and Ma
rino, ending the first part. The "Faust"
numbers were grandly played, bringing
oui me iuii possiDiiiues oi tne military
band in such music.
In the second part, "Patria," by Musso,
and a waltz song, "Pomona," by Wald-
teufel, were finely rendered, as was also
the harp solo by Slgnor Setaro. who
played ao pleasingly that he was asked to
come back twice. His first number was
the "Miserere" from "II Trovatore." -
Embellished with solos by Slgnor! Pal
ma; "Marino,- Curtl ana Frrutio, the con
cluding number was a series of selections
from "Carmen," comprising the Prelude,
Toreador, March and Finale of Act IV., a
fitting ending of an evening of delight for
lovers of good music.
After the last number had been played
the audience, loath to permit the musi
cians to cease their flood of harmony, de
manded a return, which waa granted by
Klvela, his band playing a medley of na
tional airs, during the rendition of which
the audience arose and applauded en
thusiastically. The band ends its engagement tonight.
Miss Forbes In "Barbara Frietchle."
At Cordray's Miss Forbes Is adding to
her first-night popularity In the title role
of "Barbara Frietchle." the pretty South

"The Wife" Is Well Liked.
A t the Baker the record Of the prevlbus
wet-k. -in holding good, "The Wife," the
well written and well produced society
drama, drawing capacity houses. Mr.
Dills, as the crusty old soldier and tardy
lover. Major Putnam, is doing a bit of
comedy that has seldom been excelled
at this playhouse. The stage settings
and exquisite gowns of the ladies are
especial subjects of comment.
"Florodora" Coming.
The very large portfolio of musical gams
with which Composer Leslie Stuart has
so artistically supplied Florodora.
which Is the attraction at the Marquam
Orand Theater tomorrow (Wednesday),
Thursday and Friday nights and Satur
day matinee, have certainly reached a
degree of popularity never before attained
by any other musical comedy offering.
When one takes Into consideration the
very unusual melody wltlj which he has
supplied "Florodora," It Is not to be won
dered at, that It should be the great
success that It is. It Is hardly likely that
there is anyone at all musically blessed
who has not been charmed by the very
melodious strains of "Tell Me, Pretty
Maiden," or the beautiful notes of "Un
der the Shade of the Palms," not to over
look the dash and spirit contained in
'When I Leave Town," "I Want to Be a
Military Man," "Phrenology," etc., etc.
It has been Justly claimed that much of
the remarkable success with which "Flo
rodora" has been graced is due to its
music, and. justlr speaking, such Is so, but
the book of Owen Hall and the great pro
duction ' given "the' bleed by Messrs. John
C. Fisher and Thomas W. Ryley have
certainly come in for their Just phare of
approval from all sources. The advance
sal of seats opened yesterday morning.
"On the 8troke of Twelve."
"On the Stroke of Twelve," the power
ful comedy-drama which Is given its first
Introduction this season, after three suc
cessive seasons of great success in the
East, is one of the most successful plays
of Its kind now on the road. A senmi-
tlonal escape from prison gives the play
its title and a scene In a conterfelters'
den Is another of Its novel features. Jack
Rutledge, the hero, Is falsely accused of a

then proceeds to hunt down his enemies.

D. W. Jenkins, who lives midway be-,
tween John Day town and Mt. Vernon,
talked interestingly of the early days,

house stands a strong stone fort. It has
a massive door and little loopholes, but

Some Fine Farms.
There are some very fine farms in the
John Day Valley. A typical one la that
of B. C. Trowrldge. It is located one
half mile from John Day town. Mr.
Trowbridge Is an old '49-er. From CalU
fornla he came to Oregon In tha 60' s,
coming to John Day In July, 183. On the
19th of July, of '62, he too up his pres
ent home ranch. It la called tha "Amer
ican Ranch." It consists of 640 acrea of
bottom land and several sections of pas
ture land. "We have a very fine or
chard," he said, 'Tart of it was set out
24 years ago. We have no market for
our fruit. It seem a shame to feed nice,
sound apples and pears to the hogs. Wa
have hundreds of bushels on the ground
going to waste. A good many people
coma from Burns and other points to get
our fruit, but the demand Isn't up with,
the supply. I kept a hotel In Canyon
City for 13 years In early days. This Is a
splendid ranch. We raise alfalfa and
put up about 400 tons on our home ranch
each year. We rajso splendid corn, ' po
tatoes, vegetables, fruits and such
things. - We got $1$ per ton for our hay, .
last year. Brother Hope is doing some
building for us. Wa are building most
of the time.
"Wa don't get little dabs of supplies
here. We send out and get a winter's
supply," said my hostess.
"Some mining men have been at us for
a long while to lease the land "to them
on a royalty. But It would ruin our farm
and we won't do It not it It Is ever so
rich. We partly consented to lease part
of our lower farm ten miles below here.
They pay os $10 a day to work it, or $100
an acre where they spoil the orchard.
You see this Is Just where two rich
gulches spread out and I guess it is pret
ty rich in gold."
It is a sort of alluvial formation and
undoubtedly would be rich ground. It 1$
a beautiful farm, rich and fertile. It U
probably one of the best if not the best
farm In the whole John Day Valley.
On Mr. Porter's place not far from
John Day I walked through a field of
corn whose tips I could not reach. Soma
of the stalks were 10 feet hlajj. It had
been Irrigated. Recently Mr. Hodson,
who Uvea two miles from Mt. Vernon in
vestigated a Juniper stump that had bees
in sight for a good many years. II
proved to be one of the large bones of a
mastoden. lie dug It up and other smal
ler bones in the vicinity. This John Day
country is famous for its fossil remains.
