The Oregon inn very correctly eays:
"If the legislature is going to' destroy
fixed fithing gear, it should appropriate
no money for the salmon industry. If
it sinks the question to an espousal of
one side iu this discreditable fight be
tween rival private concerns, it should
at once abandon the pretense of con
serving the public good."
Little Tracey ReeBe, the eight-year
old daughter of Mrs. Reese whoee heirs
recently sued the county for damages
for her death, through an alleged de
fective road, was taken today from the
European House, where Bhe has been
since the trial, and committed by Judge
Blakeley to the care and keeping of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Aldrich, of Goldendale.
The girl is an unusually bright and en
tertaining little body and she will find a
good home witli Mr. and Mrs. Aldrich.
Judge Hlakeley this morning fitted her
out with some extra clothing and a
little grip and sent her happy as a lark
to Grants, where Mr. Aldrich will meet
her and take her to her new home
When will the time come when "Un
cle Tom's Cabin" will lose its charm to
the rising generation V Judging by its
present freshness, im alluring powers
will be perennial. Theie is something
in the skillful combination of the pa
thetic and the humorous that never
fails to fascinate, and the story that it
tells of the stiU'ering of the poor slaves
appeals directly to the finest sensibili
ties of the human soul. Such pleye are
better than sermons. They point a
moral and adorn a tale. They teach us
lessons in thoughtfulnees and charity.
They impress on our minds the pre
cepts of tiie golden rule. Mrs. Stowe's
book is one of tlie greatest books of lit
erature, because it deals with questions
of immeasurable human import, and
the play itself is one of those simple
master-pieces that can never die. If it
does no more than to keep alive the
memory of the rise and fall of one of the
greatest iniquities that history deals
with, it was not written iu vain. The
Ed. F. D.ivia colossal Uncle Tom's Cabin
company will appear at the Baldwin to
morrow nk-lit. Unserved seats at Blake
ley's drug store.
