From all accounts of the first per formance of Jack London's new play, "The Great Interrogation." It has met with the same whirl of enthusiasm which greeted his peculiarly original stories. But after all, the critics say that the chief point of Interest In "The Great Interrogation" is the fact that Jack London is the author, rather than anything startling In the plot or the performance. The only logical place for the head quarters of the reclamation service Oregon would seem to be in the arid districts, and not in the rain belt 200 miles away from the nearest propose government irrigation project. The showing made by the Commercial as sociation in the matter of keeping the office of John T. Whistler In this city, should be ronvinring to Chief En gineer Newell. Whatever is being done In Pendleton in the way of moral reform is due to the agitation and Influence of the East Oregonlan. This paper congrat ulates the district attorney and the city marshal In their efforts to clean out the objectionable lodging houses and the unspeakable dives on Cotton wood street After the fight Is over and the hard and perilous work done, the Morning Tribune comes rushing up In the rear, yelping vigorously and spoiling for a chance to bite some thing. The Morning Oregonlan la doing it self an injustice In not securing a more reliable news service from Pendleton. The paper is read etxenslvely here and reports sent out from this city on dif ferent occasions have been the cause of Indignation. The account of the dust Btorm which occurred on Sunday evening says: "Unharvested wheat which was In the trail of the storm has been almost totally destroyed. and farmers will lose thousands of dollars." Such is not the case as very little grain nf any kind was shattered. A few stacks are reported overturned, but aside from this little loss of any kind was sustained by the farmers. Highly favorable crop reports lndl cats that the northern tier of seven states, stretching from the headwaters of the Mississippi river on the east to Puget Sound on the west, will produce not less than 216,000,000 bushels of wheat this year. These states are an Immense granary. Their wheat crop has more than doubled In the last few years, and the harvest In these seven states alone Is annually from 85 to 40 per cent of the aggregate for the whole country. In 1904 Minnesota, the two Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, Washing ton and Oregon had a combined spring and winter wheat crop of tOt,- 413,487 bushels, or nearly 18 per cent of the total crop In the United States. This year the harvest will probably be about 7,000,000 bushels larger. COMMERCIAL GRAFT. The attention of the country has long been upon the graft In politics. A little of It may well be given to graft in business. Its most prominent manifestation is in the adulteration of foodstuffs. Much has been said re cently about the loss of the market for American cheese by supplying It with an article made of skim milk and hog fat. That was commercial graft and it was promptly punished and all American cheese, good and bad, suf fered. What we lost Canada gained. The Importation of buttor Into the British Isles Is very large. We have retained a considerable share of It notwithstanding our bad reputation In cheese. Great Britain has a general health board which publishes every year Its findings upon samples of food submitted to It In Its Inst report It covers butter from all countries that export that ar ticle to England. Of 89 samples from the United States 54 contained danger ous preservatives and 43 were artifi cially colored by dyes Inimical to health. Of 79 samples from Norway none contained adulterants. The American butter exporters who work a get rich quick graft by using poison will be slightly punished, but the great punishment fans upon the American dairy Interest. It Is small comfort that, associated with Amer ican butter exporters In criminal adul tcratlon are those of Australia, France and Belgium. Norway with no adul terations and Denmark with only one out of 271 samples are getting the trade. Evidently it is time to divert some preaching from -political to commer cial graft. It Is a more serious men ace to the nation, since Its conse quences reach more Innocent people and are harder to avoid. One election may end political graft But how can the honest and Innocent producer end commercial graft? The Oregonlan and the Telegram are censuring Mayor Lane of Portland for appointing democrats to the vari ous places within his power to fill. If this Is not good politics, how does It come that Mayor Lane on coming Into the office finds every appointive place filled bv republicans? On what grounds can these papers find fault with Mayor Lane for doing just what every republican mayor of Portland has always done? If It is not right, why has thlH practice been in vogue all these years? President Roosevelt Is evidently not entirely sure of his grounds In Ote matter of the appointment of a federal judge for Oregon, or ho would not de lay so long in naming that official, since the state Is In such urgent need nf a man to try the land fraud cases now multiplying on the docket PUS OFFENDED FHAN7, JOSEPH. Hy a mistake committed because he has no Idea of the strict etiquette of the Austrian court. Pope Pius X has offended Emperor Franz Joseph. A short time ago the famous Hungar ian painter, Paluy, was received by the pope In the Vatican, and had a long noiiversatlon with his holiness, who treated him with kindness. Just before Ihe artist was ready to leuve the residence of the pope his holiness suddenly expressed a wish of decorating Archduke Eugene with a high order, and asked Palay to hand It to him. That the relations between Hungary and the ustrlan court are strained at the present time never entered the mind of Pope Pius. Palay went to Ulnsbrook. where the archduke resides, hui was very coldly received at the castle, and when he attempted to hand the order to the archduke he refused to accept It, and asked a lackey to show the painter to his carriage. The next day Emperor Francis Joseph's court chamberlain officially notified the pope that his action was a great breach of etiquette and that If In the future he wanted to bestow any orders upon any members of the Imperial family he must do so through the diplomatic channels. Kansas City Star. TOO MICH I.IKE MAN 1HNTINO. A traveller wilting from South Af rica describes a baboon hunt as fol lows: "Very slowly we spread out round about the base of the kopje und began a crawling ascent through the thick scrub. Daylight found us drawing nearer the higher spurs of the kopje and the Kaffirs were busy beating. Then the sport began, and pretty uncanny It was. "My first kill gave rue a most un comfortable thrill. It was horribly like picking off a man. The baboons were great big human-looking brutes, quite capable of picking Up a lamb In their hands and running off with It. (As a fact they generally content themselves with ripping the beast op en to get at the curdled milk within.) But their cries were the most horri bly human thing about them, and the gestures of their waving arms." Chicago News. FIFTEEN MILES OF TUNNEL IN ONE ALPINE KA1LWAY. The port of Trieste, on the eastern shore of the Adriatic, belongs to Aus tria. Owing to a steady growth of her commerce It has been deemed wise to give her hotter railway con nections with the northern part of the empire to which she belongs. On the road between Saltzburg and Trieste It was found necessary to con struct three rather tong tunnels. These do not compare In length with that under the Slmplon Pass .(from Switzerland to Italy), but they are long enough to be notable. Here are the figures which "The London Times" gives: The Wochelner, 6,927 yards, or almost four miles; the Ka- rawanken. 8.715 yards, or almost five miles, and the Tauern, 9,247.75 yards. r considerably more than five miles. The programme wiw adopted about five years ago and work was begun soon afterward. The shortest of the tunnels was completed on March 1, of this year. The Karawanken tunnel was opened soon afterward, the men from opposite ends meeting on May 17. When they did the difference in the levels of their excavation was less than three Inches, and the horizontal deviation about three-quarters of an inch. More work remains to be done on the Karawanken tunnel before It' is ready for service, but the most im- portan part (rock cutting) Is virtually ally finished. Progress on the Tau era tunnel has been only about half as rapid as on the Karawanken. A year or two more will probably be required to fit it for duty. The Wo chelner tunnel goes through rock of such a character that It was decided to have separate passages for each of two tracks. Only one of the twin holes is finished, but railway travel through it In both directions will be begun soon. When its mute is ready traffic will be conducted In the two separately. The Karawanken and Tauern tunnels are both designed to accommodate a double track. There are in all about 15.6 miles of tunnel on this railway and the sum mit level is at a height of 4.018 feet above the sea. There are probably but few other lines in existence which In so short a length have necessitated such a great variation In level, and wherein so many technical difficulties have had to be surmounted, but as will be apparent from the foregoing description the chief trouble has been the passage through the Alps.' Most of the drilling was done with electric power derived from adjacent streams. A BAD NILE Foreign advices persist in railing attention to the dangers lurking in the Assuan dam. The New York Com mercial discusses the subject In a col umn editorial. A "bad" Nile Is look ed for the present season.

CURED BY CUTICURA One Application Soothed Him to Sleep. Cure Speedy and Permanent. "When my little boy was three months old his head broke out with a rash, which was very itchy and ran considerable watery fluid. We tried everything we could, but he got worse all the time till it spread to his arms, legs, and then to his entire body, and he came near dying. It itched so he would scratch till the blood ran, and a thin yellowish stuff would be all over his pillow in the morning. I had to put mittens on his hands to keep him from tearing his skin. He got so weak. he took fainting spells and we would think him dying. He was almost a skeleton and his little hands were' tbin like claws. "He was bad about eight months, when we tried Cuticura. I had not; laid him down in his cradle in the daytime for a long time. He had got so that he just slept in our arms all the time. INSTANT RELIEF "I washed him with Cuticura Soap and put on one application of Cuti cura Ointment and he was so soothed that I put him in the cradle. You don't know now glad I felt when he felt bet ter. It took one box of Cuticura Oint ment, pretty near one cake of Cuticura Soap, and about half a bottle of Cuti cura Resolvent, to cure.' I think he would have died only for the Cuticura." Mrs. M. C. M AITLAND, Jasper, OnL No return in 14 years: Mrs. Maitland writes, under date of Feb. 24, 1903: " It , affords me pleasure to inform you that it is fourteen years since my boy was cured of the terrible skin disease. He has been permanently cured and Is hearty ana strong." Sold thrmiftioal 111 world.

Here Is something for ruininutlon. It Is not a matter of politics, but of business. Chicago Livestock World, Killed Ily Uvo Wire. Coroner J. C. Henry this afternoon received word that Ijeonard Carrol was dead from the effects of coming In contact with a live wire. I The facts of the cuse as near as can be learned at this time, are that the Orand Rondo Electric company's wires are down at a point near the Hempe brothers' farm which is locat ed about three miles east of Hot Lake, and that parties living near there had placed the wires upon the fence and that young Carrol knew this to be a fact and was showing some persons where the wires had been, and placed his hand upon the fence, but not directly upon a wire. The fence board formed a conductor and the entire current passed through the plank and Into the young man's body, causing Instant death. The wire had been down since yesterday's storm, but no one In the neighbor hood had taken the trouble to Inform the company of the fact. Iai Grande Observer. EL POWER.
