THE LADY WINS.
Judge Fee haa decided the contested
-election case in Union county in favor of
Miea Stevens, who was elected school
superintendent at the last election, and
whose right to the office was contested
on the ground that a woman could not
hold the office. The suit will probably
be appealed. There were seven women
elected to the office of school superin
tendent in the state laBt June, as follows :
"Alice Carron, Grant's Pass, Joseph
ine county; Mrs. Gordon, Klamath
Falls, Klamath county ; Miss Susan W.
Moore, Malheur City, Malheur, county ;
Miss Anna J. Balsiger, Heppner,' Mor
row county; Miss Carrie May, Tillamook
Tillamook county; Miss Harriette C.
Woodruff, Pendleton, Umatilla county ;
Miss Nellie Stevens, La Grande, Union
county; Mrs. P. E. Boyd, Joseph,
Wallowa county." . . v
DEAR AT ANY PRICE.
The talk of the government foreclos
ing its lien on the Union and Central
Pacific railroads will probably end in
talk, for the reason that ii is cheaper to
give the roads the debt tbau to buy
them. The roads owe the government
about $70,000,000. They owe besides
some $65,000,000 first mortgage bonds,
and this debt is a lien on the road prior
to that of the government. To get pos
session of the roads the government
woald have to pay this lien of $63,000,
000. It is estimated that the lines could
be paralleled from Omaha to San Fran
Cisco for $45,000,000. "So that the gov
ernment could get an entirely new line
equipped with new rolling stock; for less
money by $20,000,000 than the old road
would cost. The scheme to extend the
time for payment to 100 years, at a very
low rate of interest, seems to be the only
thing that can be done.
The best thing congress can do is to
agree to disagree, adjourn 'and go home.
The industries of the country are in a
state of coma, and nothing but the settle
ment of the tariff question can benefit
them. All eyes are turned toward
Washington as those of the true belie v
era are towards Mecca, but notwithstanA
ing the presence there of Dana's "stuffed
prophet," the prayerB of the weary citi
zen avail not. If the Wilson bill passes
it will be better than the state of un
certainty that has prevailed for the past
year, but if it fails and congress adjourns
leaving the McKinley bill as the tariff
law, business will soon resume Us wonted
- activity. '
. 'The stockholders of the Sentinel at
Goldendale had a meeting Monday, the
result of which is Mr. Hugh Gourlay
severs his connection with that paper.
We do not know who will take charge of
it, but we do know that they will seek
long and far before they find a man
capable of filling Mr. Gourlay's place.
He is a writer who combines grace with
force, and he has made the- Sentinel
prominent in the state. However it is
not the first mistake the management of
the Sentinel has made.
The war between Japan and China
shows that the Japs have advanced
rapidly in civilization, while the Chinese
have stood still. In every fight the Chi
nese have been out-generaled and out
fought. Outside of one or two really
great men, the Chinese are a thousand
years behind the. times. Japan seems
to have the best of the argument, as
well a9 of the fight, and while acting for
herself it is evident she also knows how
Bussia stands in the matter. '
It is only a question of time until a
railroad connects The Dalles or some
other Eastern Oregon point with Reno,
Nevada. A road is already built and in
operation for ninety miles north of
Reno into Harney lake valley, and the
track is graded thirty miles further. It
would open up the eastern side of the
Cascade range and consequently furnish
an immense supply of timber, which
will be needed in the near future.
The' Vigilant won another race from
the Britannia yesterday, making-five out
of fifteen. As she has some twenty
races to run yet, it is quite possible that
ehe may yet carry off the pennant espec
ially as the balance of the races are to
be run in open water.
Russia is having a wonderful harvest.
In many places the cattle are turned
into the fields, the price of grain being
too low to pay for harvesting. It is said
that forty-five pounds of grain can be
purchased in the Caucasus for less than
two cents.

stmction of Sodom and Gomorrah as
"the falling of the red-hot name
stones." They say that when Lot had
made a dead failure of his attempt to
convert the Sodomites, God sent Ga
briel and two other angels to destroy
them. Gabriel was directed to-creep
under the foundations of the wicked
cities, and then, by suddenly straight
ening his form, lift the cities high in
the air and let them fall to the earth
in. ruins. After this great overthrow,
so the Koran says, "God showered
down upon them hot, burning stones,
baked in furnaces of hell. On
each stone the name of some guilty one
was written, and on him it fell. In a
like manner, all who were out of the
cities at the time of the overthrow
were destroj'ed." One Sodomite, who
chanced to be in the temple at ' Mecca
at the time his city was overttaken
with the dreadful semi-historical
catastrophe,' resolved to remain in the
sacred edifice (the Mohammedans
claim that the temple at Mecca was
built by Abraham, and that no harm
can possibly befall it or anyone within
its holy inclosures), until he crimes
which ho had committed should be for
gotten. He remained there forty years,
piously praying and keeping fast days,
but no sooner did he leave its holy
shelter that he was struck down and
killed by one of the burning "name
stones." Seel the World'! Flr (or fifteen Cents
