THUUSDAV, NOVEMBER. G, 1902.
AN IMPORTANT RULING.
At the last session of the legisla
ture a law was passed changing the
time of taking the school census to
June. Almost every county superin
tendent In Oregon has expressed the
opinion that this change has caused i
a direct loss to the districts through
out the state. In June most of .the.
working men who work outside the
cities, have moved out to the country,
or to the logging camps or stock:
ranges, or perhaps to the mines. The
enumerator falls to get them In the
school census, yet they claim resi
dence in the city and return In the
fall to enjoy the benefits of the
schools. The result has been that a
large population has been oscillating
between two school districts and
neither of the districts has received
an apportionment tor them. In view
of this unsatisfactory condition, Su
perintendent Ackerman has made a
ruling which covers the ground and at
least, temporarily, solves a vexed
question. The ruling is as follows:
"School boards shall admit free of
charge to the schools of their respec
tive districts all persons between the
ages of 6 and 21 whose parents or
guardians reside in such districts, at
the time of making application for
free admittance .to such schools;
even though such persons may have
been nt tho last enumeration legally
enumerated in some other district."
THE MAJORITY RULES.
-Nothing" ""happens. Every occur
rence has e cause. Causes may bo
influenced by local agencies, but they
are causes none tho less. There
must be a reason for republican ma
jorities. Some cause is mother of the
result. As long as men Inhabit th3
earth, there will be differences of
opinion. It Is human to disagree. As
long as governments exist, there will
be different politics advocated. While
it may seem monotonous to be con
tinually defeated, we are glad that
this Is a country in which the majorl'
ty rules. We stant a chance of win
ning, on some future occasion, when
the changeful tide of politics turns
another way. Elections should be ba
rometers of public opinion.
The Oregonian throws a boquet at
Mr. Roosevelt, which should have
been thrown at the American people.
It. gives him the credit for bringing
about the coal strike settlement,
when the facts are, Mr. Roosevelt
declined for .four months to interfero
in the strike situation. Public senti
ment became so strong in favor of in
terference that he Anally undertook
the delicate task. He Is to bo prais
ed for his part, but not all tho flowers
In that boquet belong to him.
It Is Impossible at this early date
to give tho exact political features, of
the next congress. Tho republicans
will havo good working majorities In
both houses, however, and President
Roosevelt will probably be sustained
in his tariff revision and reciprocity
plans. In tho regulation of the trusts,
all are agreed. This has grown to bo
a national, not a party movement.
Umatilla county Is bordered by a
splendid wreath of natural resources.
The country to the south, east, west
and north comes to this city for Us
supplies. In appreciation of this
trade ,we should build and maintain
good roads. .Lock tho stablo before
the horse Is taken.
With coal at our doors Jn Morro
county, and other sections of the
state, Oregon's fuel question Is not
yet alarming. Wood Is almost aa
priceless In some parts of the state
aa coal dust was In the East a few
weeks ago.
What mental fiend has entered the
social circles of tho year 'U2? Was
over a record so blotched with sui
cides? Was over tho self-destroying
hand so bus ? What means this
hurrying off the stage? Is life more
to be feared lhan deatn?
SEEN FROM THE PILOT HOUSE.
We are dodging the hidden rocks
In the rapids, as a maiden would hold
her skirts, first one side and then tho
other in a narrow path to avoid
touching a wet dog trotting beside
her. The wheel spun round and the
rudder answered Its command. The
eld pilot 'knows that winding chan
nel; to a tenderfoot it all looks nllke.
The chances aro the tenderfoot would
discover some new rocks If he under'
took to take a boat through tho rap-
Ids. They say "it takes a good drlvei
to hit all the rocks In the road." But
a good pilot is not thus determined.
Finally, the locks came In sight.
The massive masonry at first looks
Ike some unfinished temple. That
liver bed hown out and walled up and
handcuffed, so to speak, to act as a
Slave to man and boat, is a wonderful
sight. Tho mountain of granite has
been torn from Its foundation. The
great walls of (hat basin are built for
service. They are magnificent,
gloomy specimens of art. Tho great
iron hooks imbedded in their sides,
vhich servo as "hitching posts" for
boats look like remnants of some old
tortuie room of the dark ages. One
can 'almost Imagine how a heretic
would look, hanging by the heels from
one of them.
The little boat glides into the shad
owed chamber, like a child would en
ter a dark room falteringly, hesitat
ingly lest some unknown' thing, or
fconip uhheud noise come to frighten,
it back. "
Then the groat gates swung down
behind us. Gates that were built to
stay tho Columbia in her westward
career! How, like giants, they join
their hands together, and their fingers
interweave, and that rushing tide
cannot prevail against them. Slowly
the water rises and lifts us. You
havo stood, a boy, at some old barn
yard pump and Impatiently watched
the water rise In the bucket, ring by
ling. Here is a counterpart of that
scene. Foot by foot, yard by yard,
the loosed channels pour into the
basin; the lock fills, the boat Is re
leased from her mooring, tho gates
before you swing back, like the gates
of a palace, to allow the departure of
a king. The bell taps, the valves
open once more and we steer for the
open channel ahead.
Just below tho locks a dredger wa3
working; did you ever see a dredger
at work? No? Well, you have seen a
little boy stooplns down over an Irri
gating ditch, with his sleeve rolled up,
dipping his hand and bare arm deep
down Into the sand below tho water,
lift up a brimming, " dripping hand
full of wot tand and gently let It fall
upon the bank? You have seen this
little plcturo a thousand times? Well,
that nand and bare arm was a dredger
In miniature. The great hand-like

bucket Is attached to a giant arm,
which lowers Into tho water and tips
ip so tho bucket roots and digs and
gouges up a brimming, dripping load
of sand nnd gently swings over and
lets it fall upon tho bank. The dif
ference Is, this hand holds n ton, and
when the steam pressuro is turned
cgalnst that monstrous arm, to make
It dig. tho rattling cable Chains and
grinding cog-wheels sound like the
gates of hades were being torn from
their hinges!
When it began to get dark the old
pilot would stretch his neck out of
the window and put his hand over his
eyes. You have seen a housewife
peering through the dusk, with her
worn .and wrinkled hnnd shading her
eyes, looking down the lano trying to
distinguish the briudln cow from the
hedge. That's a picture of a river
pilot In tho gathering shades of even
ing. But soon he turns on tho search
light. He throws It up and down from
one side to tho other, keeping his
bearings and watching the bank. So
deftly he manipulates it, so readily
throws it Into tho curves and dark
corners of the river bank, that ono
can almost see a farmer's plcturo In
the pilot's action, as the farmer holds
up a lamp to peer through the night,
and see If he locked securely the door
of the cellar.
Then, as we round a bend, the
twinkling stars of the city come Into
view. We imagine we can see fantas
tic forms in their arrangement. In
the darkness they form a glittering
canopy for the city, full of Its broken
down landmarks, Imperfections and
limitations. The boat seems as glad
to get Into her stall as wo do to reach
the shore. She hugs the bank ten
derly and tosses to and fro In peace
upon the lashing waves that hurry i
among the echoing piers. Oregon

Health is a magnet which irresistibly
draws the mati to the woman in life's
mating time. Health does more thau
tint the skin with beauty ; it puts music
into the voice and buoyancy into the
step, as well as happiness into the heart.
A great many women covet beauty and
are constantly seeking aids to beautify
them. Let a woman first seek perfect
health and all other charms shall be
added to her.
