Then he decided to bring the reaper and harvest It without delay. "Now, my chlldri," said the lark, "we must move." The people find the same condi tion prevailing in the enforcement of the law. Where the statutes are writ ten In plain and unmistakable Eng lish, the various officers declare they are not supposed to be the ones to enforce the laws. Tb sheriff declares that it is not his duty to enforce the law against gambling and Sunday opening of saloons; the district at torney declares that he is not the man to enforce the law without instruc tions; the mayor declares he Is not a detective and does not know that the laws are being violated; the city coun cil says It has nothing to do with It; every officer elected to preserve the law has found some excuse for not being responsible. So the people must harvest their own wheat. TIIK NEW COMMISSION". they do not like the moral atmos phere. There la no hope for a bet terment of conditions until a new regime takes charge of the city. And the moral element have but them selves to blame for conditions, for out of a vote of 1200 In the city, but 300 voters registered at the last city election, most of this number being gamblers registered under the name of "farmers" and "laborers." Let the people lake their medicine. SPIDER SILK. GUARD THE TRADE. The Sumpter Valley railroad Is making a flank movement to capture Pendleton trade by diverting the wool hipments from Grant county to its terminus at Tipton, Instead of per mitting thein to come by way of Pen dleton, as formerly. The superintendent of the road says in a recent Interview that the freight on the wool clip is not what it desires, but It is to secure the bus iness created by making Tipton the trading point for freighters hauling wool, that causes it to enter this ter; litory. If the Sumpter Valley captures the wool shipments, she will soon cap ture the herds of cattle driven reg ularly from the interior to this city for shipment, and soon all the excel lent trade enjoyed by Pendleton mer chants in that territory will go glim mering. But what is the remedy, when the ailment is caused by inevitable pro gress in the interior? Because Pendleton Is a competitive railroad point, she can hold most of this trade. She can offer cheaper freight rates on the products of the interior cattle, mutton and wool. Baker City cannot hope to compete with this point as a shipping point for cattle, sheep or wool destined either east or west. Better roads into the interior, bet ter and larger stocks of goods to se lect from and organized business ef forts on the part of Pendleton mer chants will hold most of tills trade. Even concentrates from Grant county mines are shipped by way of Pendleton to Everett, where they are treated. This fact should stimulate Pendleton to make more strenuous ef forts to hold this interior trade and add to It in future, despite railroad building. Every freighter who comes to Pendleton with, a load of wool, concentrates or lumber takes back a load of merchandise. It is up to Pendleton business men to see that freight rates from this point to the ultimate markets of the products of the interior are such as to be a standing Inducement to that trade to make this city its outgoing gateway. Yesterday's news dispatches stated the president was getting along very rapidly with the details of his plan for reorganizing the Panama cirtial commission. The old commission was composed of distinguished civil engineers and an admiral and a general, appointed with high salaries, perquisites, honors and responsibilities less than a year ago, and all are now to be retired. They have failed. Multi-headed com missions for a work like that must ever fail. The chief men, Admiral Walker and General Davis, no doubt excellent men In their way, and once able and energetic men, are at least 22 years past the Osier age tf usefulness. En gineer Wallace is to be appointed to do the work. He is young, energetic and above all has done similar work on the ca nal connecting Late Michigan with the Mississippi, a work in magnitude scarcely second to that of Panama. The country, it is thought, will hear from him and his hundred steam shovels in the next 12 months. The spirit of youth, which means vigor, strength and accomplishment, is abroad In the land, and It is ex emplified and recognized by a youth ful chief executive. Old men for counsel, perhaps, but young men for shoveling dirt along the Panama ca nal is a change of policy that will lead to positive results. According to a report of United States Consul Hunt, at Tamatave, the Industry of drawing silk from spi ders, which the unappreciated phil osophers of Laputa undertook two hundred years ago, is now under way on a commercial scale In Madagas car. The female spinning spider of that Island (Nephlla madagascarlen sis) grows to a length of two inches and a half and swarms in millions about the capital." The silk Is reeled off by native girls, each of whom has a basket filled with live spiders at her side. She takes out a dozen, fas tens them In a frame, draws out the ends of their webs and combines them In a single thread, which is passed over a hook and attached to a reel. The girl then sets the reel to re volving with a pedal, and. like the public under the manipulation of the trusts, the spiders have to "give up." Unlike the public, however, they are said to suffer no discomfiture from the operation. When a spider's sup ply of silk is exhausted it is taken back to the park to recuperate, and in nine or ten days it is ready to de clare another dividend. After going through the reel Ave or six times It becomes discouraged and dies, having yielded In all between two and three miles of silk. Even with cheap labor, spider silk is expensive. It takes a thread over thirty-five miles long and nineteen strands thick to weigh an ounce, which makees the flber cost about $ 40 a pound. Collier's.

ADVANTAGES In buying your clothing from us THE LARK'S LECTURE. An old lark raised, her brood in a wheat field one spring;, and about the time the crop was ripe. It became apparent that the lark's home would be destroyed by th reapers. The young larks became alarmed because 'the owner of the field sent a hired man Into the field to begin reaping, and begged their mother to move at once. But there came four or five hired men Into the field and none of them began reaping, each finding a differ ent excuse. One said the crop was not ripe; another said It should be bound and not cut by the reaper; another that the grain was light on the (tround and the yield would not pay the cost of cutting and so on. As long as these fellows were par leying about "the crop, the old lark First We represent the largest tailoring company In the coun try and can give you a better line of samples to select from than other made to order houses.
