dissolution for the same reasons that
were urged In America before the
civil war against a precisely similar
movement.
It Is a very awkward Impasse, and
if grave difficulties are to be avoided
it will only be by the exercise of tact
and statesmanship of which fortu
nately the king seems to possess a

"Pendleson will invite us back
within :i y.-ar; she cuu't live without
the gambler; she has always drawn
much of her revenue from us, and she
must continue to do so If she lives,"
said a gambler to the East Oregonlan,
as he departed for Portland this
morning. What does the taxpayer
and business man think of this situa
tion? Who Is the gambler, anyway?
And from whom does he take the
"revenue" that he pays to the city?
And how does he take It? It Is a
travesty on business Intelligence to
say that the city cannot exist without
the paltry contribution of the tinhorn.
Nd: he city will not invite him back,
unless he comes with a better calling
and a more decent reputation and
character. The gambler need not al
ways be a gambler. He can enter
some of the beckoning occupations
that surround him and lead a life of
honesty nnd cleanliness.
SOCIAL TRAGEDY IX IllSSIA.
The city council Is to be congratu
lated on Its determination to Improve
the streets, and also to ask for new
bids on the street, sprinkling contract.
There are dozens of men with ample
teams and equipment, who can do the
street sprinkling fully as well as
Wells, and who have offered to do It
nt a much cheaper rate than Wells.

those other methods that seem to con

ernment. Russian sentiment has become In
flamed by repression. the safety
ralves of the social system have been
irrewed down tightly, nnd it is only
the precise date of the explosion that
has been at all uncertain. It Is
wrantte that events that have been
recognized by the whole world iu In
tertable should occasion any surprise
anywhere, even In Russia.
In the meantime the outworn, dis
credited and hateful methods of re
jiression are being once more applied.
Russia is being a-aln treated with
the hair of the dog that has bitten
her and the flames of revolt are be
oijr momentarily covered with highly
torTarnmable material.
It would seem as though every na
tion must pass through its cycle of
revolution before It can reach the road
ct real progress. It must either stern
ly assert itself or it must retrograde.
France passed triumphantly
through her ordeal by fire a century
ago. That Russia has delayed It so
mug Is a disquieting Indication of
trie explosive forces that must have
accumulated and that only the wisest
statecraft can control.
It Is safe to say that the East Ore
gonlan. by agitating the street sprlnk
line matter at this time, has saved
the city $500 on the contract for the
ensuing year. This amount Is half
emuigh to buy a rock crusher for the
city.

GOLDEN RULE TREATMENT.
The first floating telephone in the
world Is to be Installed In Great Salt
Lake, by the Rocky Mountain Kell Tel
ephone company In time for the open
ing of the bathing season, says the
Salt Lake Herald. Three thousand
feet from the Saltair pavilion where
tlie averaa-p denth of the water is
more than four. feet, the telephone
will be placed on a buoy. The buoy
will be anchored and It will be possi
ble to talk through the telephone to
any city on the Rocky Mountain sys
tem.
The primary object of the installa
tion Is the saving of life. There have
I een times in the past when a tele
phone In the lake would have been
the means of rescuing venturesome
bathers. The management of the
Saltair pavilion and the telephone
company feel that If one recue is
made the expense Incident to the In
stallation will be more than satisfied.
The buoy's telephone's first connec
tion will be with the private branch
exchange that is being installed at
Saltair. An operator will be con
siantly in charge of this station so
that It will be possible to call from
the lake to any point in the city or
about the pavilion, where the instru
ments connected with the brunch ex
change are to be distributed. The
sensation of floating in the water and
Jiolding conversation with Individuals
many miles away win uppem iu .-.hl-alr
visitors this summer. It will be
a distinct novelty.

SCANDINAVIAN SITUATION.
That war should result from the
present crisis between Norway and
Sweden seems almost incredible.
5och a tragedy for such a cause would
fee little less than a crime against hu
manity, and we can but hope that
councils of moderation will prevail In
good time to prevent what would be
sractlcally civil war.
The existing deadlock. Is however,
distinctly dangerous. The king has
definitely refused to sanction the bill
providing a separate consular service
for the two countries. The Norwegian
anlnlsters have thereupon tendered
Jhetr resignations, which the king has
declined to accept.
The ministers upon the other hand

floubtless echoing the voice of the

to ahow that Norway haa no longer
at sovereign willing to follow the na
tional advice, and the Norwegian cab
inet has warned the king In very plain
language that Vila veto of the bill la

.wnion. '

A stranger came Into an Augusta

for which he wanted the equivalent In

teller.
The stranger took a bunch of letters
from his pocket, all addressed to the
same name as that on the check. The
teller shook his head. The man
thought a minute and pullei' out his
watch, which bore the name on its
inside cover. The teller, merely glanc
ing at It, said: "That won't do."
The man dug Into his peckets and
found one of those "If-I-should-dle-tonlght-notify-my-wife"

"But, man, I've given you an Iden

sponded the teller patiently, "but In
matters connected with the bank we
have to be more careful." Phlladel

' RETURNED WITH THANKS.'
Some of our readers, we are sure,

Maarten Maartens was forced to print
his first book himself. Quite recently
J. J. Bell made about 120,000 out of
a tiny book, "Wee Mangreagor," for
which no publisher would mnke an
offer, though the author would have
sold the entire copyright for $50.
Think of Thackeray's "Vanity Fair"
refused by Colburn'a Magazine as
lacking In Interest, although written
expressly for that publication, and re
fused by every publisher to whom It
was afterward submitted. Thackeray
published It at his own risk.
The same Is true of Stern's "Tris
tram Shandy." Keble's "Christian
Year" was offered to a publisher for
$100,. and finally published at Its
author's; risk, bringing him In, It Is
said, 1200,000 during his lifetime.

gatlon project, brings the highly inter-
estlng and Important story of uncov
ering of remains of prehistoric ani
mal life on those plains, says the
fioise Statesman.
This discovery has been ma le in ex-
i.ivaii'.'s tli .' ("uv 'r:i':i c .1 ti'm.'I. There
are two or more lava flows nt that'
point. The most recent proved to be,
some 12 feet thick. Immediately be
neath this the men uncovered a bed of
sand from six to eight feet In thick
ness. In this sand the remarkable dis
coveries were made.
Mr. Horn, the ' engineer In charge
of the work, has a fine collection of
bones, teeth, bonis, tusks and other
remains of the old life of that sec
lion. Many bones are found which he
cannot classify. He has sent some of
these to Washington and has been In
formed they have so far baffled the
scientist1! of the government who look
after such matters.
The remains are those of many
species. At one point, within an area
no larger than a good-sized room, four
species were found. There are teeth
and other bones of the mastodon that
can be recognized, but the others will
have to be passed upon by those who
make a specialty of such subjects.
One of the. very interesting pro
ducts of this remarkable bed of sand
is u pair of horns. The skull lay with
them in the sand but It crumbled
when an effort was made to remove
it. These horns are like those of the
musk ox and they are u foot in cir
cumference at the base and spread
beautifully six feet from tip. to tip.
These horns are charred, evidently by
heat from "the flowing lava.
Another highly Interesting find was
of a lower Jawbone like that of a
horse and about the same size as the
jaw of a well developed modern ani
mal of that species. The taeth are In
perfect condition. It has been sug
gested it might be the Jaw of an ani
mal like the camel, but Mr. Hubbard
states It is so nearly like that of a
horse that he Is satisfied It must be
from some animal of that kind thutj
roamed the valley In prehistoric times.
The horse, hdwever, is not thought j
to have come to his present size while
he was yet an Inhabitant of this
country- The latest specimens of him
found by the scientists are about the
size of a Shetland pony.
Still another interesting exhibit in
Mr. Horn's collection Is a beautiful
tusk 36 Inches In length. It Is like
the tusk of an elephapt, having the
same curve.
Mr. Horn, as stated, has reported
the find to Washington, and sent on
some of his specimens. It Is believed
the field will prove a rich one for the
men of science and that some Inter
esting Information may be gained
from it.
How so many animals came to
perish In that bed of sand can never
he known. The theory Is that the
lava penned them In and overwhelm
ed them on the edge of a river or
lake.
