The agitation coming from Wlllam

' Is certainly not serious. After all the
tour faces that have been made over
what have been termed "local laws"
for Eastern Oregon, it Is hardly possi
oie tnat the state will be asked to
pick the hops, at least. Eastern Ore

the state only paid for them. Local

- Assessor-elect Strain is agitating a
repeal of the flve-mllo school levy
law, in order to allow a raise of the
valuation of property. His estimate
of the taxable property In Umatilla
county Is over $29,000,000. The -present
assessed valuation is about JG.000,
J000. Placing the actual value at one
half of Mr. Strain's estimate, would
raise about $70,000 school fund for
this county, The present assessed
valuation raises $30,000 for this pur
pose. The common law on fellow servants
which Is in force, where there is no
specific statute on the subject, was
left in its present form, by a ruling
.made in 1841. Every other feature of
law, science and industry has left
this antiquated rule sixty years be
hind the age, It Is time to make an
effort to catch up. What would the,
condition be today if the privileges of
the great corporations were set back
aixty years? One condition would .be
as fair as the other.

OREGON'S METROPOLIS.
Citizens of the stnte of Oregon aro
proud of Portland, yet , they are
stransteis t6 the essential forces that
keep that gieat city moving. Portland
has enjoyed a most phenomenal
growth, within the past two years.
Population lias outstripped the de
velopment of the city's, lihyslcal con
ditions. The tide of immigration has
poured in to fastly that the progress
of government and the minor details
of the city's management have not
kept paco with It. With 120,000 peo
ple today, she finds heiself struggling,
with equipment and regulation intend
ed to meet the needs of 90,000 peo
ple. Her forces aro overdone; they
need extension. A most extraordinary
stride must now be taken to "catch
up."
Summing up the deficiency of bless
lngs which now confronts Portland,
the metropolis of Oregon., the Dally
Journal says:
"The new year should bring to
Portland: Petter streets. The pres
ent condition of the thoroughfares is
disgraceful.
"Uetter municipal management;
our police department Is one of the
smallest in the country for the popu
lation represented. A better tire de
partment; the present department is
ell handled, but entirely too small
"Better street signs; few of the
streets of the city are designated by
signs and strangers find difficulty In
locating themselves 'when going about
the city.
'Better lights; no city has fewer or
poorer lights than Portland.
"More hotels; there aro not enough
hotels and lodging houses to accom
modate the transient traffic. There
lias been great complaint of this all
over the country and Portland has
suffered much by the adverse com
ments on her lack of hotels. Those
she has are good, but there are not
enough of them.
"Better meetings of public bodies
and less of closed door proceedings.
Secret sessions give opportunity for
municipal corruption. They don't
look good under any circumstances.
Be open and above board with the
taxpayers.
"Better chances for the progres
slve men among us to come to the
front. The policy of 'let well enough
atone1 doesn't apply these days of
strenuous efforts of cities to get bus
mess. Homebody must be 'up and
doing' or we will get left in the race.
Don't wait or you will be too late to
correct tho loss you may suffer.
"Better explanation of what be
comes of the money collected for
taxes. With a poorly equipped police
department, poorly manned Are de
partment, poor streets, poor lights
and poor evervthlnc else that
per
tains to city management, there Is a
high rate or taxation,
"The Journal does not like to say
these things, ,but there Is only one way
to correct evils that exist, and that
Is to Insist on them being corrected."
There seems to be a determination
on tho part of many Eastern Oregon
citizens to aggravato the vexed range
CllleStion. Without doubt It la rma nt
neither can she tolerate disturbance
that arises from the absence of law,
so there you are. Tho moro you dis
cuss tho matter, tho larger It grows.
VOICE OF THE MOUNTAIN.
1 saw the mountain stand
Silent, wondeitul a nil grand;
Looking out acioss the land
When the golden light was falling
On distant dome and spire,
And I heard a low voice calling:
Come up higher, come up liltili' -From
the lowlands and the mire;
From the wist of earth desire
From the vain pursuit or pelf.
From the attitude of solf,
Come up higher, come up higher'
Think not that wo are cold,
Though eternal snows have crowned
us,
Think not that we are old.
Though the ages die around us!
Underneath our breasts of snow
Silver fountains sing and How;
We reflect the day's young bloom,
While the valleys sleep in gloom!
We receive the now-hoiii storms
On our rugged, rock-mailed forms
Anil restore the hungry lands
With our rlveis and our sands!
Ho who conquers inward foes,
All the pain of battle knows;
And has earned IiIh calm reposo,
Countless Alons ere the races
In the cycles took their places,
We were groaning to be free
From our chains below tl.o sea!
'Till wo heard the sun our sire
Calling, calling, "Come up higher."
And we burst our prison bars,
And from out the mist and fire;
And the ocean's wild embraces
And the elcnientnl wars,
Wo arose and bathed our faces
In the sunlight and the stars.
