Autumn, that ancient bandit, softly came And heaped his treasure high upon the hills A wealth of gold and sunset- laden flame They lay reflected In a thousand rills. Then winter, bold marauder. stealthy foe. Crept silently across the northern night, And In the morn there were but wraiths of snow And lonely, wastes of hillsides, bleak nnd white. Charles II. Towne. There was never presented to the American public a more thrilling nnd conclusive demand for government ownership of railroads, than the con ditions portrayed In the testimony be fore the Interstate commerce commis sion In the Armour rates case, now In progress In Chicago. One reputable witness testifies that thousands of tons of ripe, rnre fruit rots In the or chards In many localities each sea son because of the extortionate rates of the refrigerator car companies, while the prices of fruit in the cities are so high as to be ' prohibitive to the poor. The greed of this monopoly Is actually lillllng trade and denying the necessities of life to the people of moderate circumstances, in the large cities. If the government own ed the roads, or could even maintain a reasonable regulation of rates, thousands of dollars of traffic would be created, that Is not now in exist ence, and from the testimony of one man before the board, the price of ripe Trult In the cities of the East would be reduced by 30 per cent. .MOXTKZfM.VS TKKAKltlU:. THE PEOPLE AUK WILLING. What citizen of Umatilla county would wish to see a vncnnt space at the Lewis and Clark fair, marked ' "Umatilla county?" What citizen of Oregon who knows, of the wondrous productiveness of thin county would not be disappoint ed. If Umatilla county should fall to 1 ! have one of the very best agricultu ral exhibit In the pavilion of farm 1 product at the fair? Such h failure would be an everlasting dishonor to the county, and the very thought of j It must snd a thrill of shame , through every breast that bants wurm ' for this wondrous county. ! Not one thinking citizen of thl , county will censure the county court ' or complain of IMravngnuee. If thnt ; body donate JHIOO for a county ox-! hltrit, the sum to be wisely expended j in lh Interest of the county, by com- ; patent, trustworthy men, who will not make the task a private snap. The East Oregon Inn believes that It expresses the sentiment of the people of this county, when It says that the county court should employ a competent agent, a man of experi ence), today, and give him full charge of the matter of the Umatilla county uxhlblt at the fulr. his sulitry to be gin today, and he to have full con trol, with the advice and sanction of the county court, of this Jiooo fund. He should be Instructed to secure space In a favoi-ptjle location, collect every Imuginuble product of the county, prepare the exhibit In an at tractive and deserving manner, have charge of It during the fair, be on the ground nt nil times, to answer questions, and by Industry and care ful selection prepare an agricultural and horticultural exhibit that will overshadow all other county exhibits ut the fair. ' This Is no boy's play, nor Idle talk. Umatlllu county Is a big county, with a world-wide reputation, and people who have rend of the county and Its ' products will go to I'ortland expecting to see something wonderful from the t county that produces one per cent of ' the wheat crop of the United States. To fall to satisfy this curiosity, to ' fall to come up to the expectations of . the friends of the county In different . parts of the United .States, is to make an Inexcusable blunder. And the J1000 donation by the county court should not be the only effort, nor the end of the effort to collect an exhibit. The business men of Umatilla county should duplicate any amount contributed by the coun ty court, nnd someone responsible, alert, nnd wide awake, should be placed In charge of this fund, and given authority to make a collection. Even ufter the money Is donated. there can be woeful failure, If someone Is not delegated with full authority to go ahead with the work. It Is time to act now. The confer ence of the county court nnd business men tonight should result In a .fund (jf at least J2000 being pledged for a'lUmatllla county exhibit at the Lewis and Clark fair. Whether the report of the discovery of the Incns' treasure at Chayaltaya, Bolivia, Is true or not. It Is certain that the cououlstrudurcs did not get all the gold of the last Inca of Peru, nor nil of the gold "and precious Jew els of the Mexican monarch. The story Is that the Incus' treasure, with held from Plxarru and now discovered In Hollvln, is worth tl6.000.000, and that the Indians still believe there Is much more hidden away. Plzarru re ceived a great sum from the Inca whom he cruully treated and then killed, but In so doing he missed a greuter amount, which the Inca. hop ing to save his life, promised his tor mentors. In this country one sometimes hears talk of a greut golden sun and other treasure hidden secretly from the early .Spaniards. One gentleman who has the blood of Montezuma In his veins, and In whose family the traditions of the times of the con quest have been preserved, has said that prolwbly fully tso.0oo.pno worth of treumire escaped the bunds of Cor tes and his followers. Where Is this treasure hidden? Some have said that It was thrown Into Iake Texocco and not many years buck a company well provided with funds made ex tensive excavations In the Pedregal. near Conyucan. on a spot Indicated by tradition. A series of subterran ean chambers was touud. but no gol den sun. Iloth in Mexico nnd Peru gold was hidden away from the greedy con qulstudores by the Indians, who cher ished the hope of making a success ful rising against their conquerors. That hope has long died away, though much of the hatred for the race of the conqulstadores remnlns In the breast of the aborigines. It is quite probable that some fine day much of Montezuma's hidden treasure may be found here by a lucky hit. Perhaps it is concealed in an Idol cave In the southwestern part of the sierra surrounding this valley, n cave of which stories have been told among the Indians. Whence has come the gold that the Indians living In these mountains so close to the city have brought here and sold to their legal representative? There Is a mystery In all this, and a greater mystery In the whereabouts of Monte zuma's treasure, which remains un touched. Mexican Herald. the Long Island system would be electrified, but to have the electric trains running within six months Is more than the commuters have ven tured to hope. In two years, or three at the out side, the steam locomotive will be almost extinct In New York local traffic. It will be banished from the New York Central, New Haven. Penn sylvania. Long Island and Lackawan na systems, nnd probably the Erie. Such a change means a revolution In the conditions of suburban .life, and ought to mnke the commuter's exist ence even more Idyllic than It Is. New York World. P r NO CU'SS WOltDS IN JAPAN.

EXTOICTIO.VATE LIGHT CIIAKGES A comparison of the rates charged by the Northwestern Gas & Electric Company for gas and electricity with the rates charged In other towns of Washington and Oregon will show that the rates here are about twice as high on the average, as In other places. At The Dalles, Oregon, for example, a town of about one-third of the population of Walla Walla, the house rates for electric lights are much cheaper than In Walla Walla. While the minimum rate Is the same $1,50, the maximum rate will not average half as high as here. Data collected by Dr. J. F. Cropp during his agitation of the light question about 10 months ago proved beyond question that the rates for gus and electricity In this city are ex cesslve. and In many cases extortion ate. The facts and figures presented by Dr. Cropp to the council demon strated conclusively that not only nro the charges for lights outrageously hlch. but that they ure made much worse by Inaccurate reading of the meters, the mistakes always oeing in favor of the company. Walla Walla Statesman. I suffered for a long time with a bad case of Catarrh, and took n great deal ol medicine without any benefit.

Cot. 7th & Felix Sts., St. Joseph, Mo. Wheeling, V . Y.i., May 29, 1903. I had Nasal Catarrh for years for which 1 used S. S. S. with very gratifying results. I tried local applications for some time, and getting no perameut relief I cametc the conclusion that the seat of the trouble was in the blood. Kuuwing S. S. S. to be a good blood medicine I began its use, and after using it for some little while it did away entirely with the offensive mu cus in the nostrils, and I did not have tc hawk and spit, especially itithemorning, to dislodge the catarrhal matter. 1627 South St. Fred 1L I'ressy.
