Her .encroachment In the Orient meant the throttling of trado and the narrowing of opportunity for civilized nations. Her conquest and occupancy of Manchuria meant an extension of European Russian tyranny and op pression across that splendid conti nent of Asia. It meant tho establish ment of tho codca that havo devas tated Hessarabia, Poland, Finland and the Jowlsh settlements' of Odessa and Klshlneff, on the now shores of the Pacific. Japaneso occupancy of Manchuria and a trado suzerainty over Corca, means that civilized Influences will take- first rank In tho Orient. It means that civilized nations will bo Invited to mingle and trado there. It means that tho blemish on tho earth, known ns tho oxllo settlements of Sakhalin and ICamschatka will bo ob literated from human sight and that a form of order, law, civilized govern ment and organized Intercourse of na tions will succeed tho sealed ports, the selfish, uncivilized, barbarous codes that were being firmly estab lished bv Russia from Port Arthur I along the! entire eastern coast of Asia to the U.ehring sea.

Tho order requiring tho wholesale dipping or all sheep for export, Infect ed or otherwise, has led to many ac rimonious comparisons and expres sions of opinion. People want to know why it Is, when everybody In Umatilla county knows either from personal observa tion or by the word of those who have personal knowledge that the reservation harbors hundreds, per haps thousands of scabby Indian horses, nothing is done by the gov ernment to eradicate the evil, while perfectly clean sheep must be dipped before shipment to another state. A bunch grass paper that is ordi narily sane, -runs a column of special instructions to its readers a3 to how to catch sword fish.

There is at least $4000 In cold cash Dr. E. N. Hutchinson, of the feder-1 Jn PenUIeton Pckcts ilay, that wotuti not Do tnero had Ringllngs" a'l bureau of aninmai industry, Is quoted as saying, in effect as follows: "Unless the cattle raisers of tho state of Oregon show considerable dili gence and keep It up, In the way of taking preventive and curative steps about mange, they are likely to con- ..front a quarantine against tho state." Add such a burden to the griefs that infest the cattle rnlsers now, and it becomes a serious question as to how some ot the ablest and most conscientious of them can keep their iieads above water for a year or two. Arguing about the difference be' tween mange In horses and cattle and scab In sheep, Is quibbling, pure and simple, and no decision can bo arrived at that will satisfy the peoplo aside from a thorough and scientific overhauling of the reservation. Practical sheepmen cannot bo con vinced ly microscopic differences be tween parasites, that tho reservation .may not bo tho source of sheep scab when other sources are eliminated, .and hold that (t Is up to tho govern ment to do something out there whllo requiring tho sheepmen to go to so much expense and trouble dipping sheep known not to be infected. circus exhibited here yesterday.

ROSA BONHEUR'S LIONS. Rosa Bonh.eur loved tho animals, and tho animals loved her, writes Jules Ciaretle, in Harper's Magazine. In fact, sho oxerclsed a magnetic pow er ov.er them. Tho fierce watchdogs at the house at Iiy were llko lambs In her presence. Tame Hons sho had about her, too, those majestic cr.eat ures that she so loved to paint, and whose manes sho would smilingly ca ress with her delicate hand. Tho de.er of the forest contemplated her with a glance of recognition, as If they com prehended that she was In truth their painter. M. Gerome, when ho wished to paint lions, visited tho tamer, Pezon, at tho Jardiu des Plantes, and made his studies across tho bars of the cages. Bonheur tried a different plan. Sho actually gave tho freedom of her gardens to tho lions Of tho me nugerle at By. Sometimes tho pass erby on the road would regard with stupetacation a tawny Hon crouching on tho terrace of Mile.

Shakespeare was born on Friday. America was discovered on Friday. Richmond was evacuated on Fri day. Tho nastllo was destroyed on Fri day. The Mayflower was lauded on Fri day. Queen Victoria was married on Friday. King Charles I was beheaded on Friday. Fort Sumpter was bombarded on Friday. Napoleon Bonaparte was born on Friday. Julius Caesar was assassinated on Friday. Tho battlo of Marengo was fought on Friday. Tho battle of Bunker Hill was fought on Friday. Joan of Arc was burned to tho stako on Fridny. Tho battle of Now Orleans was fought on Friday, Tho Declarat.oii of Indopendonco was signed on Friday. of tho Southwest, and this Is perhaps tho deepest and most lasting mark which they left on California's civili zation. This now activity at San Luis Roy has come as an .entire surprise to tho quiet neighborhood. Patriotic Amer icans have been engaged for somo years past ln an effort to preservo some of tho old missions from further decay and oven to restore them, to a , certain extent. But those most fa j miliar with this work did not dream Hint the industrious followers of St. Francin would over return to mako practical use of the old landmarks. Even now It Is not known but that tho movement la to extend to other historic spots. However that may be, the gentle brotherhood has come back to San ' Luis Rey. Tho old church has been repaired and services aro again held beneath Its venerable roof. The cloisters are being rebuilt and the Irrigation aqueducts reconstructed. The fields will be tilled again and yield tho same loyal support to the community. The leader of the movement is Father O'Keofe, who came unherald ed from Mexico and quietly set out upon the restoration of the old land marks. His fellow laborers aro all members of the Franciscan order and perform their heavy manual work ln the brown cassocks that wero famil iar to generations now passed and forgotten. Father O'Keefo does not expect to revive th.o former economic life of the settlement ln all its ampli tude. Much has happened since his predecessors toiled and taught and ruled In thoso lovely southern valleys. Modern peoplo have come with modern Improvements, and thoro Is now no need, of the paternal schemo which did so much for tho simple population of the country a century or more ago. Father O'Keefo's plan is to convert tho old mission Into a f.olf-H"stainlng Franciscan college. Thus the spiritual nnd educntlonal work will live again, but tho social and .economic features will not bo re stored, beyond what Is necessary to meet the necessities of tho monks themselves, The mission fathers were the pio neers of European civilization among the coast hills of California. They supplied leadership and instruction to those who wero engaged in found ing homes and wresting a living from tho gaunt appearing desert. Tho work which thoy began must still bo continued, and upon a vastly larger scale, but It has passed to other hands to tho government of Ameri ca and to an army ot settlers who como from all parts of tho world. Tho government Is supplying both tho capital and the expert knowledge needed In this conquest of tho desert. It is laying the foundation of pros perity, pointing tho way, and inviting the peoplo to enter Into their heritage. Whllo Its resources are far greater than thoso of tho dovoted mission aries who planted tho, seed of Califor nia, its spirit is much the same. It Is helping them to help themselvos. Guy E. Mitchell.
