HAhRIMAN'S visit to Ore gon will be beneficial to Ore gon In many ways. That he lias decided to build a rail road into central Oregon la the main cause of congratulation, but aside from that and Its Immediate results is the Impetus to tourist travel to Oregon, which Mr. Harrlman's re peated visits and outJnRs and his re newed activities .here will give in the east. Rich people even more than poor, are creatures of imitation. What the biggest toad In the great puddle of society or affairs does the other big toads do next. Mr. Har- riman Is not a great society man, but he is about the biggest man of his sort in the country and if year after year he selects a region of Ore gon In preference to the Adlrondacks or Canada or California or Europe ias a recreation ground and a buib kner outing place, we may be sure that many rich people will ere long follow his example. And he says he Will tell all his acquaintances of the delights of southern Oregon. 1 And Oregon "has the goods." All Visitors agree that Crater lake is the most wonderful and admirable thing of Its kind in the visitable world. And Wallova lake Is not very far behind, if tamer, in attract lveness. And then there are the great caves, and the mountains, and the gorges, and the waterfalls, and other lakes and scenic wonders with out eDd. But more than this, to many, there is also the game. Deer, bears, wild fowl, fish and other game are to le found with Just enough effort to make their hunting good sport, in many of the mountain and lake re gions of Oregon. In these respects it Is a state of unparalleled attrac tions. President Roosevelt spent jtfays down in a Mississippi forest vainly trying to bag a bear, while as Governor Chamberlain related, one of Mr. Harrlman's half-grown sons shot a 300-pound bear after no great chase the other day. Eh, Kermlt, what do you think of that? But to make the magnificent southern' Oregon country available to tourists, roads especially one to Crater lake, must be made. Tour ists these days will not go far afoot or on burro-back, but only as o the main lines of their travel In auto mobiles. With good roads along strategic routes, we would have tour ists from eastern cities out in Ore gon by thousands every summer, and their number would steadily increase for these main attractions will re main perpetually. Under right laws even the game can bo kept in plenti ful supply. And most of ihese tour ists would visit Ashland, and Med forj, and Eugene, and Albany, and Salem, and Portland, and other cit ies of the state. Scattering the ever needful cash as they went, and Inci dentally lnlucnclng on their return permanent irumicration and thf. in vestment of capital here f:..M ; orif month "5 tellleiit interest, not for party's t-ake. but for hli own and the coun try's sake. Mr. nrynn'n speech Is comprehen sive, enlightening, masterly. Prob ably no man In the country, in the sumo number of words, could so ful ly, thoroughly, luridly and convinc ingly review this subject and pro Bent tho truth about it on Br. Brian has done in this speech. He tells exactly what a protective tariff Is, how It operates, who frame the law and why, and its results. There is no ranting or declamation in the speech; it Is simply a plain, compre hensive yet concise, statement of facts that nobody can deny and that everybody ought to know. And once bring this knowledge convincingly and apprehensively home to all the voters of the country and the high protective tariff party would be bu ried by millions of adverse votes. It Is acknowledged by a local pa per that supports Mr. Taft that all that Mr. Bryan says about tho pro tective tariff Is true, that it is a robbery of the people for the.bejie flt of a few, that Its effects are Just what he describes, that the high protective tariff Is the backbone of the trusts and the source of debauch ery of citizenship and a long train of evils, both material and moral but that paper Is against Mr. Bryan because, first, the Democratic party did not revise the tariff right when It had the chance during Cleveland's administration and so would not do so now, and because the Republicans have promised to revise the tariff after Tafffl, election. - As to the first of these reasons, or excuses, while admitting that tho Democrats did not do all that they should have done when they had a chance, we shall show in another article that what is said about what they did is as a matter of record un true. And he must be an exceeding ly credulous voter Indeed who will believe that the same Republicans, practically the same leaders, who have so long maintained the Dlngley tariff, and maintained that it was Just the right things are going to re vise the tariff in any way appre ciably beneficial to the people. It is indeed a "belated promise" that has been made, one entirely out of sym Bathy, everyone knows, with the sentiments of the Republican lead ers who control congress, and one which only, childish credulity could suppose to be sincere. If it were really intended to do any revising of the right sort, why was nothing done during the past eight, four, two years, during the last session of congress?

To th Editor of The Journal In answer to an article which appeared ln Thursday evcnlnga paper we would like to muko the fol lowing statement's: In regard to tho young lady who, aa It was statod, when a doctor found smallpox ln her family ran from the house and came to our home, thn fnr-tn are these: The yountr lady was board ing In the house and had gono to work before the doctor discovered tho dis ease to be smallpox.

He told her there was no danger but that sho should be vaccinated, with which request she compiled that evening- and went to work tho next morning, thinking she had done as requested. In the afternoon the deputy health officer called on her place of business and ordered her very harshly to go home and she did so. not even being al lowed to sny a word of explanation to her employer. In regard to the fumigation of our house we fear there has been some mis understanding on the part of some. The aeputy came at 4:30 ln the afternoon and told us that we would have to re main out of our house seven hours and as wo had not had our dinner we ob jected and told him to call the next morning. It has always been our under standing that after fumigation the flag of quarantine ts raised but in this case they wero put up aftor all the houses were fumigated.

The Tail of the Scorpion. Pendleton, Aug. 24. To the Editor of The Journal T. T. Geer ln his pa per, the Pendleton Tribune, urges Statement No. l Republican members of thj...leislature to resign rather than vote for George E. Chamberlain, a Dem ocrat, for United States senator, after the people of Oregon have, by a major ity of 48,000 votes instructed the legis lature to ratify the people's choice for senator. Mr. Geer says it would not be dishon orable nor cowardly nor Improper for Republicans to do this. He would pre serve the "integrity" of the party by committing political sillclde. He would have the members "die" politically, rather than commit the sacrilege of voting for a Democrat, even though the people have instructed them to do so. Mr. Goer's mock-heroic attitude. In which he advises Republicans to resign rather than "surrender to tne enemy," reminds one of the old legion of the tall of the scorpion. It ls told of the scorpion that when it is cornered hv an enemv and sees all chance of escape cut off, that it has piercing Its own brain with the tip of its poisonous tan. Imagine T. T. Geer thus surrounded by tho wall of fire of the people's choice, himself a devoted Republican, Idolizing party above all else, despising the "common herd," and finally rather than submit to -the public clamor for a profane Democrat, imagine him com mittine: suicide, like the scorpion, by making an Ignominious exit from polit ical life rather than face the responsi bilities of a legislator fearlessly.

Mien action can hardly be considered as being hon orable in a newspaper which posos as a teacher of hlgh-mlnded and honorable political action. Some months ago the Oregonian declared itself free and In dependent of any and all obligation or fealty to the Republican party. Yet, Its editorial columns are filled daily with matter as strongly and rabidly partisan as in tho days when lt pefsed as the leader of Republican politics, in Oregon and the northwest. When we consider our primary law. Including Statement No. 1, was placed upon our statutes by the Republican nartv. we wonder why lt Is so bitterly condemned so soon by a newspaper so uncompromisingly and partlsanly Re publican as the Oregonian. Is the pri mary law snd Statement No. I akin to the Australian boomerang rebounding against its originator? Of course the Oregonlan's purpose Is1 to prevent the legislature from electing Governor Chamberlain to the United States senate next winter. It ls endeavoring- to defeat the voice of the people. It Is trying to restore the old corrupt political machine rule ln Oregon politics. Does such action reflect credit upon a great newspaper and a leader of political thought? One of the leading arguments the Oregonian uses to break down our primary law, is that it con flicts with the federal constitution ln so far as It applies to the election or election of United States senator. Of course the candidate the people select for that office ls not lawfully elected until he receives a majority vote of the The i-lustrr'of cats face each legislature "llT'aiceordH-nre with the Fed- gr wrr, on the belly of each eral statute.

The are the pri mary lawr the local option law, the corporation tax law, and tba oorrspt of legislature to vote for or against any measure they may see proper. Legis lators are elected to represent the j.eo ple and to enact such laws as the peo ple may desire; or to elect whomsoever they may desire as United States sen ator. The federal law requires the leg islature, ln its representative capacity, to perform this duty; but It is not atAtAil thf 1hm naitnla mn V not dlrprt or designate whomsoever they wish to be elected to that office.

It la Indeed annoying and aggravat ing ln the extreme to the people of Heppner and Morrow county for this favored community to receive so much unsavory and unecessary advertising every time lt rains here a little more than the dally press thinks lt ought to. It seems like every time a large rain falls anywhere within 20 miles of this city some excitable, Impetuous Individ ual cannot rest until the dally press ls notified that "Heppner has had another flood, and that under the circumstances It ls miraculous that the entire Willow creek valley was not washed clear into the Columbia river, and from there into tho broad Pacific ocean." This of course makes exciting reading for the people on the outside, but It works a great Injustice to tne people of Heppner and Morrow couagy. The report of the little freshet we had here a few week ago, which appeared on the front page of the dally Oregonian in headlines that would scare a fellow out of a treetop, was truly a "corker." We are receiving entirely ton much of this sort of advertising abroad, and lt Is little wonder so many homeseekors steer clear of Morrow county. Heppner ls situated Just like nine-tenths of the other towns of eastern Oregon and eastern Washing ton and of the entire northwest for that matter. It is situated ln a valley, at the Junction of several long can yons, but the creek passing along the eastern edge of the city has now a good wide channel, more than enough to carry off any volume of water that may reasonably come down the valley. Had tho banlte ef WHlew ork In this! city been as free from buildings, barb wire fences and other obstructions in June, 1903, as they are now the flood would have done little damage. The people learned a valuable lesson at that time, and have left enough channel for the water to pass through the edge of the city as nature intended lt should do. Heppner Is now ln no more danger from water snouts and melting snow than ls the majority of the towns of eastern Oregon, and aince the flood of 1903 our people have erected many of the finest and most costly residence houses to be found this aide of Port land. There are now more homes and more prosperous, happy and well con tented people to be found In Heppner than before the big flood, and com mercial men all say It ls far the best town of Its site on the Paclflo coast. The people of Heppner keep off the banks of the ereelts ln building homes but are occupying the numerous pretty sltea on the higher land; the magnifi cent wheat fields and stock ranches and alfalfa meadows and.; fruU orchards with their millions of dollar' worth of products are still surrounding us on all aide; It la the richest town and county per capita 14 the state of Oregon; our people are all prosperous and happy and contented. LMt the big rains and the big- snows hunters gather these aftor they are dis carded by the birds. By that time they are draggled, broken and worn and would bo useless as ornaments. Be sides they are scattered over miles of terrltosy and In Inaccessible places, wherever tho birds may fly. Such an assumption is ekvirly .absurd, even if the unnatural naturalists who deal in red owls and pink seagulls do make it. r eome and welcome, but let the knocker and the alarmist go and be d decent about hla flood reports.

" And what will be the result of tho preservation of the wild birds In Ore gon? Tt will have some effect, of course. For one thing, lt will make the plumage of wild swan, grebe and tern more ex pensive, since Oregon ls rut off as ;m export state. It will somewhat curtail tho sale of bird plumage in this stnto slnco some women will hesitate about buying lt now. that the president's ac tion has brought the Issues so clearly before them. And tt will help to strengthen the feeling against wearing for personal adornment any bird plum age for which a life has been needless ly sacrificed. No revolution ln sentiment or morals comes with great suddenness. These things are the result of long years of education. Tet. in time, women will come to understand these things.
