The people of the United States do
not realize what au empire of wealth
and possibility Alaska Is until they
lead something of the wonderful
country In the report or the secretary
of the Interior. It is the coming
country of the world, and the United
States owns it anu will make the best
of it. Oregon is fortunate in being
in 'such close, communication with the
insatiable markets of that northern
empire, and Oregon farmers anil man
ufacturers should be prepared to
meet the demands of that market.
Gradually the I'emlletun cieamcry
plan is taking form, ami if the farm
ers In the vicinity of the city will
signify their willingness to sell milk
to the institution, it will come. The
capital Is waiting for assurances or
milk customers. That Is tho only
guarantee asked. The people of .Mc
Kay and Illreh creeks mid other local
ities could do no better than to hold
mass meetings and organize for tho
purpose or getting the matter of
turniahing milk in shape. If one team
could be furnished by the entire
community for the purpose of gather
ing the milk, It would be the practi
cal and economical way to handle .no
question. The expense would bo very
small to each customer and It would
do away with the trouble of having
a delivery wagon on each farm.
terod ngatnst Mr. Johnson for what
appeared to he a Biirrcndor. It proves
a false alarm, and Mr. Johnson de
clares In his loiter to Senator C. J.
Smith, published In the East Oregon
Inn yestorday, that ho Is not In favor
of the repenl and hns never been,
This gives the friends of the bill re
newed hope, nnd they will go to the
legislature, determined to see that It
is not ropcnlod, but rather strength
ened by an addltlonnl appropriation,
if necessary, to carry the plan
through. ,Mr. Johnson desorve3 tho
condolence of his friends for the un
warranted grilling he has received
from the press of Oregon for his re
ported surrender on the portago law,
nnd he should receive damages from
the paper which "faked" nn Interview
and creul.ed It to him.
The statement of tho total city and
school district assessment of this city
for 19U3, published In today's Issue of
the East Orogonum, is one ot wie
most convincing arguments yet pro
duced In favor of the higher valuation
of proporty It Is shown iy these to
tals that the levy in the city aud dis
trict can be reduced from 11) mills
last year, to about 13 mills, to pro
duce the same amount of tnxes this
year, and the total tax levy in the
city. Including county, state, city and
school district, may be reduced from
47 mills In 1902, to about SO mills this
year, to yield a like amount of taxes.
While It Is claimed to he a fact that
the same proporty homer pays tho
same proportion ot the total tax, un
der any system. It Is u fact also, thai
a higher valuation brings much more
property under assessment, than a
low valuation can reach. Under the
low valuation, a great amount of
nronerty escapes assessment, alto
gether, through the exemption law,
which would be assessed under a
higher valuation, and this action
alone distributes the burden of tax
ation more equally among the total
number or proporty holders. Where
a man owns hut $1,000 worth of prop
erty and the assessor values it at
one-third actuul value, or $333, the
$300 exemption wipes out that $1,000
worth of proporty entirely, and that
man escapes taxation, while some
neighbor must be taxed to make up '
the dulierency. If that $l,uufl were
valued at two-thirds of even Hb full
vulue. every man In '!'.! county own
ing any amount of property, would .
bear an equal portion of tho burden.

Tho Baker City Herald mixes con
siderable truth with a large amount
of sarcasm, 1 11 speaking of the glow
ing nccountB ot tho onrly construc
tion ot tho Lowlston-Huntlugton rail
road. It says: "Tho railroad liullilor
on tho Morning Jiomoornt has again

that the Huntlr."tot!-l.owlHton line
down the Snake river will he built
by the O. It. & N. In spite ot the

that he "hns never seriously consid

necessary for him to hurry, because

Kenator Charles II, Johnson's deni
al of the reputed interview which the
Oregouian gave out as coming from
him, on the repeal or the portage
road bill, comes somewhat late, but
even now will please his numerous
friends and supporters In Eastern Or
egon, At the time tno interview was
given nut, fjuoting the author of the
portage bill as being in fUvor of Its
repeal, the friends ot tho bill (elt the
last prop fall from under the road,
and many premature curses were tit-
Itlgbt now, while the "amusement"
parlors in tho uut-oniunt on tho cor
ner of Webb and .Main streets are
changing hands, the pollqe force of
Pendloton should suo that the hood
liimlsm and profane language that has
cursed this corner for the pust year
or so, slops. This corner has been
(he headquarters tor the toughest
gang of Indians that collects any
where In l'eudleton, and in justice
in the W. & C. It. company, and tho
nthur respectable business institu
tions near there, a special effort
should be made to keep this gang off
the streets, at that corner. Thoro Is
not a day passes that does not wit
ness an Insult to some passing wo
man or school girl, and It has come
to be a custom for the girls passing
down Main street from school to go
a block around to escape this cornor.
I'rofano and vulgar language, rowdy
Ism, Indecent remarks and every
other form of depravity known In
I'endl'itou, or Imported from more
metropolitan cities, is lound on the
main street at this "hangout" and it
should be Htopped. The agent f the
V. & C. It. Is powerless to check
this ruffianism, as the members of the,
gang only answer his request , for
civility with Insult, and when a po-1
Itceman comes In sight the crowd dis
perses into tho "amusement" parlor,
and everything Is quiet until the offl.
cer leaves U10 vicinity. It is a black
eye to Pendleton, and a disgrace to
tho rowdies that make up the gang,
and the place should be cleared and
kept clear. People coining Into tho
city from both roads are met by the

Editor of the east Oregoiiiau. j
Dear Sir: For many yours an edi
tor myself, I address you by request
and as a simple duty. A great ills-1
covery has been made In u..s city ,
It is fraught with so much import- j
uncc ana yet is so uurii 10 neiieve,
that thoso who nro personally cog
nizant should 11 (td mo weight ot their
inlluenec, bo It great or small.
I not only know by contact with
ninny of tho benoflchiries but was
myself rescued from Urtght's Disease
by It. The cure has been found and
the difficulty In beliuving It is cost
ing many lives. It Is ostounuing
how far our prejudices carry us. Hut
the great fact Is here, and acceptance
means recovery.
After my own unexpected release
I wouldn't let my frlouds rest ami
several took the treatment and re
covered. Ono was Charles V. Wnck
er, tho Sixth street merchant, ile
had Diabetes and tnought ho -was cit
ing to die. Ho got woll and passed
for a 9G,000 policy.
I say to you as a brothor that those
of your friends who have Diabetes or
Bright's Disease, and everyone knows
of some, that thoy can recover. I
will be glad as one of many survivors
out hero to give you further informa
tion. Yours &c,
Chas. II. Kngolke.
