THE MARINER.
A harbor bright in a land of
light.
And a life-bark anchored
ever,
And a mariner bold, with a
dream untold
Of rest from the long en-
deavor;
And a sweet, sweet vision of
endless peace
The blue of the fair skies
under,
Andm the knowledge that now
j , shall surely cease
1 The pain of the tireless won-
der.
So It's on, straight on, through
gloom and mist,
The rack of the b)-ck skies
under,
Till the time-worn sails are by
breezes kissed
In the wondrous haven yonder.
A. J. Waterhouse.
O. K. & X. KEEPS ITS WORD.
The O. R. & N. company has prom
ised Pendleton and Umatilla county
people that a passenger train would
be placed in service between this city
and Walla Walla as soon as it was
amnnotrtaH that aur-h a train WOllld
be self-supporting.
Today the fulfillment of this prom
ise Is announced in the news columns
of the East Oregonlan and next Wed
nesday the efforts of the people and
the Commercial association will bear
fruitage when the first train under
the new arrangements will run from
' Walla Walla to .this city.
This fulfillment of promises on part
of the company proves that It endeav
ors to answer every just demand upon
It by the people. While Pendleton
and Umatilla county people have
been more or less Impatient of the
delay, they must remember that the
local officials are not the ones to de
cide such matters. Traffic reports
must be sent up through all the de
rjartments. and returns must be
audited by the chief officials before
new train service can be Installed In
any big railroad system, and consid
ering everything, It is probable that
this train has come to Umatilla coun
ty Just as iiulckly as it was possible
to pass the request for it through the
various stages through which It must
of necessity pass.
It now remains for Pendleton and
Umatilla county to make good with
this train. It Is announced that this
is to be an experimental run until
December 31. If business continues
good and the patronage of the train
4,,.tirieK. it will be made permanent;
if not. It will be discontinued. So
there you are.
FEDERAL IRRIGATION.
The San Francisco Call, which has
always been favorable to government
Irrigation, delivers Itself of an editorial
review of the subject, which will be
surprising to many friends of reclam
atlon. It says in Its Issue of August
17:
The expected seems about to hap
r,en. When the federal government
undertook to provide Irrigation In the
arid regions, applying thereto the pro
ceeds of the sale of public lands, It
was expected by many who had fore
sight that finally the general fund In
the United Statea treasury would be
resorted to In order to complete the
work that would be undertaken.'
The scheme Is nearlng that point
It was Intended that the settlers on
tta Irrigated land should pay back
to the government, In annual install
ments, the cost of the reclamation.
That would make a revolving fund of
the original capital, und would trans
fir it from completed to new projects.
A large number of costly Irrigation
plants have been put uinier way, but
none has yet returned a dollar to the
fund. One reason appears to bo that
the government Irrigation plants cost
so much per acre of land to be served
that settlers are shy about assuming
the burden of debt.
As soon as an irrigated homestead
is occupied the debt of the govern
ment begins to run on Its entire acre
age. If the limit of area is 80 acres,
the settler has to pay J240 for water
the first year, though he will be doing
well if he put up his buildings, fence
his land, provide teams and feed for
them, get tools and implements, and
pet 20 acres in crop. He will then be
using water on 20 acres at a cost of
$12 per acre. The terms and condl- j
lions arc too hard for the men who j
seek settlement on land. Those who j
have on hand the amount of capital
required to meet the conditions do!
not wish to live on land.
Another objection Is that the limit'
of holdings is too small. A farmer
must be a man of family. As his
children reach maturity he wants
some land to divide among them. A
ohmestead of SO acres will not serve
that purpose. I
The law seems to have been made
by 'men who never underwent the ex
perience of moving on to wild land,
subduing it and making a home sup
ported by its produce. In administer
ing the law the interior department
has spread Its legs too wide. H has
undertaken a number of very costly
plants all at once. It Bhoukl have
completed one, secured settlers on it
and had experience to guide It for
further work. It Is now In danger of
a reaction that will be caused by the
cost of a large number of Incompleted
plants, and the lack of settlers on the
lands that arc under the one that Is
finished.
PLEADING TOR THE CHINESE.
Easterners who are sneaking ut
the Trans-Mississippi congress are
pleading eloquently for the admission
of the Chinese, but they are pleading
without knowledge of the peril .they
Invite.
The west i . ' t!i ;.avJ.-ii of
Chinese Immigration, if the. exclusion
laws are to Lr uunpered with, and It
is t'h'' west which should have the
linal decision In ull legislation affect
ing the exclusion of the Chinese.
The eastern manufacturers would
admit them in order to secure chaeper
labor and more servile labor. The ad
ministration inclines to more lenien
cy In the enforcement of the exclusion
law through a misguided sentiment of
humanltarlanlsm and so it remains to
be seen if the protest of the west will
be strong enough to offset all these
combined influences before congress.
No westerner should miss an oppor
tunity to register a demand for the
strict enforcement of the exclusion
laws. It will require the combined
voice anil strength of all western
states to check this Chinese-loving
craze which has been started. Shut
the gates and keep them shut.
XEVElt SAW SERVICE.
Major General Sir Henry Trotter,
O. C. V. O., of the Grenadier guards,
and late commanding officer of the
home district, died last week at Mor
ton hall, near Edinburgh at the age
of 61. One of the most popular offi
cers in the army, as well as one of the
most useful, he was never In the field
and never saw a single battle.
The late general could trace his an
cestry back 500 years to Thomas Trot
ter, who held lands in Berkshire un
der Robert II and Robert III. He
came of a family of noted soldiers.
Many of his forefathers fought in
various civil wars, and his maternal
grandfather fought with Sir John
Moore of Corunna.
General Trotter was educated at
Harrow under Dr. Vaughan, entered
the Grenadier guards In 1862 and be
came a captain In 1866, a lieutenant
colonel in 1871 and a major general
In 1895. In 1897 he became com
manding officer of the home district,
and to him was chiefly due the credit
for the mobilization of the troops dur
ing the South African war. He held
this position for five years and re
tired from the army In 1904.
Five years ago Sir Henry slipped
on the fteps of headquarters when In
specting the Third volunteer battalion
of Royal fusiliers. His leg folt numb,
and, thinking It had "gone to sleep,"
he began to knock It about to restore
the circulation. But the bone had
been broken and the injury, being ac
centuated by his treatment, necessi
tated a five months' stay In bed.
In 1879 General Trotter married
fha Hon. Eva GIfford. He leave four
sons. They all served In the Trans
vaal war, and three won the D. 9. O.

MISS JANE ADDAMS MAY BE
MAYOR OF CHICAGO.
Miss Jane Ail. lams Is suggested for
mayor of Chicago by Justice David
J. Brewer of tho Unltea States su
preme court. In mi address at Vassal
college recently Justice Brewer took
strong ground in favor of woman's
suffrage and declared, the United
States might yet have a woman as
president. The judge has elaborated
his views In an argument prepared
for the World, In the course of which
be says:
"While In this country. It Is true,
we have had no conspicuous Illustra
tions of higher municipal or state of
flceholillng by woman, yet she has
often been elected to and filled the
place of superintendent of public In
struction In both city ami state, and
of my own experience in Kansas I
know that she has discharged the du
ties of those offices, superintending
all school affairs with mnrked suc
cess. "It is not to be supposed that suc
cessful in one branch of municipal af
fairs, towlt: the educational, she will
fail when placed in charge of other
branches. One Illustration comes
yeadily to mind. Miss Jane Adilauis
is known all over the land for the
wonderful work she has been doing
in Hull House in Chicago. Her apti
tude for executive control has been
well tested. Does anyone suppose that
she would fall as mayor of that city?
"How many, without Intending any
disrespect to the present or past
mayors of Chicago, would rejoice to
see her tested in that office, believing
that, for vigor of control, purity of
administration and wise judgment In
all municipal affairs, she would have
no superior and perhaps no equal In
the history of that great commercial
metropolis? And yet she is only a
woman.
"After all. we must be content to
watch the result in those states
where woman's suffrage is being
tried. If there it proves a success. If
It does not Injure her and does help
society, we shall all delight In seeing
It extended throughout the union.
"Surely to the women of those
states there has come the golden
hour of a great opportunity."
In tho reorganization of the com
mittees of the Chlcngo board of edu
cation, of which Miss Adilams is a
member, she Is being urged to accept
the chairmanship of the school man
agement committee. She hesitates
about accepting this post, however,
because she Is a new member, and
therefore, as she puts It, Is lacking In
experience. But the pressure that Is
being brought to bear upon her con
tinues, and it Is probable that she will
lie forced, finally to accept the place.
It Is the general belief among those
well posted on the local school situa
tion that if Miss Aildams were at the
head of the management committee
the faction that cor a couple of
years has tended to demoralize the
schools would very soon disappear.
Til, HEX'S SECRET DUNGEON'S.
Subterranean passages Ictullng from
a secret staircase to stone-vaulted
chambers beneath the old Tllden man
sion in Gramercy l'nrk. X. Y.. have
been brought to light by the contract
ors engaged in tearing out and re
modeling the structure, which Is now'
under course of transformation into a
home for the National Arts club, says
a New York dispatch.
Many other peculiarities exist In the
mansion which must have been the
conception of Samuel J. Tllden him
self, and which have remained un
discovered up to this day. although
the famous old dwelling hus housed
many tenants since his removal to
Greystone In 1 879, where he died In
August, 1886. There Is a legend
among old-time residents of the
neighborhood that Tllilcn, who roused
a host of enemies by tho part he took
in the exposure of the Tweed ring,
had a fear of secret assassination, and
built his house accordingly.
The interior of the mansion was a
work of art In Its day, and Is scarcely
equalled In some respects even now
by the palaces of upper Fifth avenue.
In the work of remodeling now under
way the secret staircases and under
ground passages were discovered. Aa
the builders like Mr. Tllden, long since
joined their fathers, no explanation
can be given for the mysterious pass
ages other than that mentioned by old
neighbors.
It was found that the building had
three roofs Instead of one, and that a
tiny staircase led to a secret passage
from the second floor. Entrance to It
was gained by pressing a knob on a
beautifully carved walnut panel.
In the cellar a puzzling labyrinth
of vaults and passages was found
leading to a bricked tunnel, the walls
of which are covered with mold, but
which was other wise perfectly dry.
The tunnel, bo far as it could be ex
plored, led straight south from the
mansion, but its terminus evidently
had been closed for many year and
the air waa found ao bad that the
wreckers have not ventured more than
26 feet Into the passage.

Within a rose-clad cottage
Beside n southern sea,
A mother sat a-slnglng
And her song came to me
I'pou the scented south wind
The seagull soared above,
Willie to her faln-halred baby
She sang this song of love:
"I love you when you're laughing,
I love you when you weep;
I love you when you're waking.
I love you when you sleep.
You ilon't know how I love you,
How you I do adore,
Ami every day, you dove, you,
1 love you more and more."

A mother sat a-slnglng
I'ltii. her babe one day.
Tin wilil deer bounded by her,
The wild hawk soared nbove.
While to her brown-skinned baby
She sang this song of love:
"1 love you when you're laughing,
I love you when you weep,
I love you when you're waking,
And I love you when you sleep.
You ilon't know how I love you.
How you I do adore,
And every day, you dove, you,
I love you more and more."

STATIONARY I MOl'RXIXG.
All the official stationery of the
state department still carries a broaJr
band of black as a mark of respect
to the memory of John Hay. When
Secretary Root asked for some paper
and envelopes, after taking. the oath
of office, he was furnished with writ
ing materials with heavy mourning.
The symbol of sorrow Is marked on
all communications of the depart
ment. Instructions to consuls and dip
lomatic officers in foreign lands, and
even state papers Intended for deliv
ery to kings and queens, are prepar
ed on paper tipped with black.
The chair und big desk which Sec
retary Hay occupied for so many
years In the state department, are
draped In black crepe. The door of
the room is kept locked. Secretary
Root will make use of Mr. I.oomis'
room whenever he is at the depart
ment for some weeks to come. Of
ficial mourning continued until July
.10, a period of 30 days from the death
of Mr. Hay. When President McKln
ley died all the execotlve departments
adopted mourning for 30 days.
