THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT LAV
MANDATORY.
The county court of Gilliam county
have, on the ground of economy, r. fused
to provide polling booths, as prescribed
by the new Australian ballot law. As
we are jointly interested with Gilliam
county in the election of a member of
congress, a etate senator, n circuit judge,
a district attorney and member of the
state board of equalization, it should not
be oonnulered impertinance on our part
if we insist that the new law makes the
providing of compartments or troths
where the elector.'niay prepare his bal
lot with absolute secrecy mandatory and
not discretionary with the county court
Section 56 of the Australian ballot law,
which is the only election law now in
force in the state eavs in nart: "He.
(theaeherifT) shall furnish in the manner
directed by such county court, a suffi
cient number of such compartments,
shelves, or tables' in or at which electors
may conveniently prepare their ballots
for voting, ho that in the preparation
thereof each elector may be screened
from the observation of other persons
I he arrangement shall be such that
neither the ballot boxes, oi the compart
merits, shelves or tables, or the electors
while preparing their ballots, shall be
hidden from view of those just outside
- the said guard rail, or from the intWa
4 0 ,
and yet the same shall be far enough re
moved and so arranged that the elector
may conveniently prepare his ballot for
voting with absolute secrecy. There
shall be provided in each" olling place
not less than one such compartment,
eneil or table for every forty electors to
linfn n ,1 ..1. . , 1 T : 1 , ,. ,
cntu tuning piace snaunave at
least three such compartments, shelves
or tables." Thus the law very clearly
prescribes the manner in which an elec
tion is to be conduc ted and in section 9
it lays down the principle that "all gen
eral or special elections hereafter held in
this state shall be conducted under the
provisions of this act." If Gilliam
county ignores the law one result will
follow, that is, ,the entire vote of the
county will be declared void and the
present county and precinct officers will
bold their places for two years more.
The second congressional district of
this state is largely republican. Hence
the nominee for representative of the
republican party, whoever he may be,
is almost certain to be elected. Upon
the republicans, therefore, rests the
responsibility of choosing a man who
will best serve the-interest of the Inland
Empire and the whole state. If Eastern
Oregon can unite to name such a man
his nomination will be assured, but care
should be taken that the Simon, Port
land ring is not allowed to dictate the
nominee. We want a man devoted to
the interests of Eastern Oregon in gen
eral and to an open river in particular.
Of all the republican candidates named
from this side the mountains the
Chronicle gives the decided preference
to W. K. Ellis. He has an excellent
record both as a public servant of the
people and a private citizen and if he is
connected with anv clique or faction it
is unknown to us.
A Wasco county democratic paper that
earnestly advocates free wool enters this
solem protest against the placing of
woolen manufactures on the free Hat.
"We can earnestly, conscientiously call
upon any citizen who loves our institu
tions, our land and the wellfare of our
workers in the textile industries to think
of these thing? and to combat any such
extreme measures as placing manufac
turers of wool "on the free list at once,
euch as the Oregonian has got into the
habit of advocating." Free wool and
taxed woolens may do for the bloated
manufacturers of the fast, but an Oregon
man who advocates it is a traitor to his
countrv.
Patti ha refused to sing in Portland
and that city Mill lie financially ten
thousand dollars the richer. The Te.tr-:
.gram accepts the ultimatum of the impe
rious prima ctonna with becoming equa
nimity, and truthfully says ten thous
and dollars is too much to pay for anv
music short of the song the herald angel's
sing. .
The latest candidate for the presidency
mentioned by the democratic press is W.
S. Holman of Indiana. "We object."
OtiUzattion of Niagara. .
It is quite likely that the first large
contract the company which is to sup
ply power from Niagara Falls will take
fof . thliTei;of power at a distance
from' Its' central station' will be to light
thcity;or;3uffal0;:' TMrVill require
8J000 horse gowervT-Tae present value of
a horse power generated from steam in
Buffalo is $33 per annum. The com
pany is now willing to contract to fur
nish on its grounds at Niagara Falls
horse power per annum of twenty-four
hour days at these rates: For 5,000
horse power, $10 per horse power: for
4,500. $10.50; for 4,000, $11; and noon
down to 300 horse power, for which there
will be charged $21 per horse power per
anham. ;" - -" ' 1 :
If there be not a very great loss of
power in the transmission to Buffalo, it
seems very likely that the company will
have no difficulty in underbidding any
concern now using steam as the motive
power for the electric lights, as the loss
by transmission is considerably less than
20 per cent. About the use of water power
Of the great falls in Buffalo within a year
or so there can be no doubt. When it
shall bo brought to New York is another
matter, but about that there are not so
many elements of improbability as to
excite men to scoff, for power has al
ready been transmitted electrically a

D'angeron Experiment.
There is a scientific person in Eng
land lUSt at TtrAMAnt M.-Vrk aiinaMmfl
spends his whole time in hanging newly
born iiifants to a branch of a tree, or
rather it is the infants who hang them
selves, in consequence of the scientific
person's encouragement and advice. The
branch is put in an infant's hands, and
is then lifted into the air, when it is
found that the infant will retain its hold
and remain suspended by its hands for
fully two minutes. . The object of this
performance is to show that man is de
scended from the monkey. It is the
scientific person's opinion that if an in
fant instinctively hangs by its hands
from a branch of a tree it is because it
has inherited a fondness for that athletic
sport from its simian ancestors.
This is all very well; but when the
scientific person's practices come to the
ears of the mothers of the infants with
whom the experiments have been made
it is probable that he will somewhat
change his opinion as to the descent of
man and will adopt the view that man
has been developed, on his mother's side,
from a thrashing machine of complicated
construction and tremendous strength.

Where Land Brings Fabulous Prices.
A chronicler of the da-3 of the good
Haroun-al-Raschid, seated on a minaret
of his paradise, with a list of New York
real estate quotations spread out before
him, would be seized with an impulse
to write the story of our prosperity in
jeweled characters -on cloth of gold.
And if he should describe Manhattan as
an island overlaid with precious metals
and , incrusted with diamonds, ' there
would be little' fault to find wdth the
metaphor beyond its audacity. In a
down town district, but a short time
ago, land sold for $20,000 per frontage
foot, the entire lot, 20 by 100 feet, bring
ing $400,000. Up town, in a choice neigh
borhood, about the same time, $30,00(1

The young empress of China, contrary
to all traditional customs, is taking a
prominent place in public life. Form
erly no one was permitted to appear on
the road traversed by her majesty under
penalty of death. .Now the emperor per
mits his subjects to line the streets when
he and his consort travel and to approach
them with petitions, to which they listen
in the kindest manner. The young em
press has commanded the custom of sac
rificing human beings in order to propi
tiate the Goddess of fcilk Culture to cease.
And she has assisted in planting mul
berry trees in the forecourt of the temple
where tho sacrifices once took place.

Old Red Cloud, who was deposed from
his position as chief of the Sioux to
make room for American Horse, a young
er man, is now a pitiful spectacle, it is
said. He frequently visits the Chadron
agency, and weeps and wails about his
fall from power. He is now rapidly go
ing blind, and seems to bo dying f roin a
broken heart. His aged squaw remains
faithful to him, and he is popular with
the Sioux nation. Exchange. ' : .
