I 1 CONSTRUCTION OF THE PORT AGE. The Dalles Times-Mountaineer takes" the position that the portage road should be built under contract, to relieve the state of the cost of maintaining a superintendent during construction of the road. If the board of portage commission ers, consisting of the governor, secre tary of state and state treasurer, can give sufficient time to thorough In vestigation of the work, during the progress of construction, to satisfy them that the work is not being slighted by a contractor aud the peo ple defrauded by cheap methods, ma ferial and labor, the contract plan la all right. But whatever plan Is adopted, there must be substantial work done. This :ls nbt the plaything of u day nor a ,year, but It Is to serve the Inland Em pire for years, and Is the perpetual property of the people of OreoD. If strict supervision of the wor.t oan be maintained by the state board. Pil .-the jieople protected against fraud, let It by contract. Hut the sal ary of a , superintendent of construc tion Is Insignificant, compared to the loss that would be sustained by the state, through poor workmanship, poor material, unskilled labor and makeshift methods. In bidding for a contract of this size the contractor often naturally figures as los as possible, and In or der to make a profit, is compelled to cut down expenses, perhaps at the cost of good work. THE MURDERED FARMER. The terrible crimes are not all committed In the large cities. The ' thug of the alley and the profession al poisoner of the uptown otlice, find excellent counterparts In the deprav ed murderer of the lonely ranch and plain. Mrs, Lartlgue, of Pomeroy, Wash., who wilfully ami brutally murdered her husband, mutilated his remaluK beyoud recognition and dumped him Into a potato pit in the front yard, with his saddle on top of his body, has proven the equal of any thug of the water front. In her deliberate crime alio has shown the most fiendish traits imag inable. Unmoved in the presence of the tightening cords of undeniable ev idence, she is still the same stoical, unfeeling, unrelenting demon, when the unrecognizable mass of broken skull and mutilated flesh, that was once her husband, is brought before her. She maiutaius her haughty demean or, treats the entire affair us u joke and in her conversation nor behavior Is there the slightest evidence of re ' morse nor repentance. TO FIGHT COYOTES. Following the repeal of the scalp . bounty law by tho twenty-second leg islative assembly, the sheepmen of Lako county have made a law of their JOWD. They have agreed among them- selves to pay two cents per head on the total number of sheep owned, to form a general fund, known as the coyote scalp fund, and will employ hunters to scour the ranges far and near in search of the enemies of their flocks, which the legislature spared. On the present number of sheep in Lake county, ?ti,00u will be raised at two cents per head, and with this sum ten rangers will be employed by the sheepmen. These men will not be paid per scalp, so there Is no proba bility of scalps being Imported from other states and counties. The coy ote farm will be out of the question, and the campaign against the coyote will proceed upon strictly business and economical lines. This plan Is worthy of considera tion by other localities. The stock men themselves can handle the ques tion yet the farming communities will gradually contribute their share to tho destruction of the coyote, by prl vate funds. It is a misfortune that the scalp bounty law was abused. Justly exe cuted, It was a blessing to Eastern Oregon counties, but used as a graft, It became a curse to the taxpayers. ROOSEVELT ON THE SOUTH. President Roosevelt has written a long letter to Clark Howell, editor fo the Atlanta Constitution, defining his policy of federal appointment in the South. Mr. Tloosevelt, on this occasion, is more of u sentimentalist than a poli tician. His heart Is too big to be held In the narrow channel of mere vote getting diplomacy. He is try ing to put into execution a pretty theory of government, which has for its motto, "All men up," not "some men down." ' In the face of the white republi cans of this South, he has appointed negro after negro, and democrat after democrat. If efficiency was not found In a candidate of his own party, he fearlessly stepped into the ranks of the opposing party and named some able man for the federal position, in spite of the imprecations and frantic, efforts of his party bosses to the con trary. He has defied the lash of the poli tician, in his determination to give the negro full recognition, so fur as he deserved It. The policy of the president, seems to be to reward merit, and not to cater to political "pull," in the South. He says that his advisors In that section of the United States have been ex-confeder ate soldiers and he Invites close in spection of his actions and not his words. Taken us a whole, the president's letter Is a defense of his theory that no man should be denied a just re ward for merit on account of his col or, any more than on account of Ills creed. He cannot hope to gain voteti hv this altruistic policy. What he gains in the negro vote, he will lose in the while vote of his party. His policy of dealing exact justice to all classes of men, and putting into execution novel Ideals of government, are good for mankind in general, but not lor the one man who desires a second term. Ex-Governor fleer Is not n candidate for congressman In the first district. He has gone to Missouri. If Ills plans don't mature any better than those of Harvey Scott during his ub seucu in Italy, the Missouri climate may also be classed as unfavorable to Incubation. Ex-Congressman Loud was defeat ed by the secret work of the letter carriers of his district. He made the remark before election that "If a let ter carrier was lit for anything else, he would not be a letter carrier." Thi is true of many callings, congressmen included. RUSSIA'S THANKSGIVING DAY. Russia, like America, Is now to have a national Thanksgiving day. Uy do creo of the Holy Synod, of which the cznr Is regarded ns tho heai, February 10 old stylo (March 3 new stylo), the anniversary of the emancipation of the peasants, Is heiealter to be cele brated in the orthodox churches by elaborate Thanksgiving services. It is a striking and pleasant coincl denco that the growth of freedom In Russia In the modern sense of tho word parallels In Important partlcu lars its srowth In the United States It was In 1S07 that the emperor, Alex ander I freed the serfs In the lialtlc provinces, while In the United Stntes Jefferson was proposing a prohibition of the slave trade, the first step In the crusade which was to end In war and the doom of slavery In tho land of freedom. To complete the parallel, It was In 1SG1, while this country was in the throes of civil war over the question of slavery, that Alexander 11 emancl pated 22,000.000 human beings of his empire. Such an example at that time greatly strengthened the sent! ment of enlightened Chrisfnidom in favor of emancipation, and thus may bo said to have made fo the cans' ol freedom in America The third Interesting parallel that of a national Thanksgiving day is the latest in tho historical series. Ilus sia's Thanksgiving will naturally have very different associations from those of the day as observed In the United States, hut the day will be celebrated with perhaps oven hotter reason In tho dominions of the czar. Freedom is growing even in the land of tin autocrat, and. most significant of all will be encouraged by the national observance to which church and state are now committed. New York World. "RACE SUICIDE" BY CHILD LABOR Before tho assembly committee on labor and Industries in Albany yester day Indisputable testimony was of- fered that the best Interests of the state require tho further restriction of child labor. Not to speak of Its moral aspects, tho Industrial employment of child ren Is the gravest material waste. Such (rilling sums as the little tollers produce are gained at the expense of their mature usefulness, for It is tho common Huding of nil Investigations of the subject that hard work too early undertaken stunts the powers and shortens the lives of tho vic tims. Child labor cuts tho sapling before It can grow, gathers the fruit before It ripens. It Is truly "race suicide" at the call of greed, and the race must restrict It or suffer the melancholy consequences. New York World. There is talk of a railroad being built from Baker City to the Seven Devils copper mining district. "Shut your oyea, opon you? mouth mna boo what tuck will bring you." The mother smiles at the childish game, and doesn't realize that it is a game she as a woman has perhaps played for a great many years. Many a woman is weak and sick, nervous and discouraged. She suffers from headache, backache and other ills. She wants to be well, but all she does is to shut her eyes and open her mouth for medi cine and trust to luck for results. She "doctors" mouth after mouth, often year after year, in this same blind, hap-huard fashion, aud re ceives uo perma nent benefit. Women take Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescrip tion with their eves open to the fact that it cures womanly ills. It cures irregularity. It dries debilitating drains. It heals inflammation aud ulceration aud cures female weakness. There is no trusting to luck by those who use " Favorite Prescription."
