Charles M. Dickinson. THE RISH TO THE FRONT. Iet one railroad company drive a stake in new territory and every other company within reach rushes to the from and begins driving stakes on suspicion. As long as a territory Is unoccupied it is left to fight out Its transportation problems the best It can. No railroad worries about It until some other railroad casts an eye upon it when, presto! it at once becomes the coveted prize of a rough and tumble scrap among all the lines within hailing dis tance. When a party of surveyors, sup posedly W. & C. R. or Northern Pa cific employes, was seen In the coun- j try west of Stage Oulch In this county a few days ago. the O. It. & N. ut once concluded that an alien and an Inter loper was about to Invade the Hepp ner coal fields from the vicinity of Wallula. ' Let a hint be dropped that the Northern Pacific or some other com pany is surveying In that direction, and quick as a flash, all is activity In the O. R. & X. camp. Really the railroad situation iiThis state would be ludicrous were it not o serious. The selfishness and slug gishness of the companies in building needed lines is something fierce. The Elgin branch paid from tl; lay It was opened to traffic. Condon re turned a profit with the very flist train that wan run Into that city, and every branch line built by the O. ft. N. has been a paying Investment and yet dozens of localities Just as prosperous and Just as resourceful as the Heppner. Condon and Elgin d; i trlcts are denied their Just d-.-serU in the matter of railroad facilities It Is a safe guess that the Heopner branch will not be extended to an portion of Umatilla county. It Is a safe guess that Umatilla county will remain for years. Just as she is now In the matter of railroad f-tcilitics. The people have become accustomed to these periodical bluffs, tn-.-? spasms of activity which come oocnionally to b eak the mc ny. UEART STORIES OF THE DAY. Formerly the heart stories in the r;wspaper were romances. They are now more than likely to point to mar vels. There were three in yesterday's columns. One told of a surgeon who held in his hand for nearly an hour outside the body the heart of a wounded pa tient. The second announced the death from consumption of a young man who carried a bullet In his heart seven years. The third story was that of a man In Chlcnpcc who could play with his heart, changing It from one aide to the other without trouble. Of these stories the first and second go to swell the exceedingly modern lit rature of heart surgery. In these lays we have heart sewed up and re adjusted, hearts treated by massage, hearts Into which medicines are In jected. It Is all wonderful, yet a little thought makes It seem natural. The heart Is the first organ to get to work In a human body and the last to quit. It works unceasingly, under all condi tions and at all hours. It suffers dis turbance through evry shock, physi cal or emotional. Wtlh such endurance us it display there must go proportionate strength. Then why be astonished at Its power to live on under the knife and the needle? The surgeon Is bold, but he Is care- ful. Tlit heart's groat peril comes not through 111 n but through the reckless hurriers. v. orrlers anil fume-pursuers who overstrain ami overwork 11 faith ful servant of life. The members of the city council who are opposed to public Improve ments ami better morals are ashamed to sign their names to an article con demning the Rust Oregonlan for Its stand fur hth public improvements and better murals, but they induce a man with nothing at stake In either cause to attempt (o ridicule the abso lute fai ls stated by this paper. The Kast 1 Hegonlan owns its own proper ty, pays lis ov n taxes, conducts Its ow n business and has opinions on both public lnipr ements ami public mor als which it is not ashamed to express at any time and under any circutn satnecs. H will discuss these quoB ilniis at any time with taxpayers, but it declines to lie led Into u discussion with a man having nothing at stake. The facts stated by the Kast Oregonlan are absolutely true, as far as the II lustruilnns cited, go. It did not state the cost of paving M;iin street entire, but gave illustrations which cannot be denied. The truth seems to have struck a tender spot. Heeause the business men asked for the Sunday clusiug of saloons in North Yakima, after .111 drunken Indians had terrorized the town one Sunday, the saloon men did Just what they did in 1 Pendleton forced the city council to close the town so tight that you had to die to hire a livery team. Seven busi ness men were arrested for selling meat, melons and cigars, and now Un people are aroused and declare they will vote prohibition in North Yakima at the first opportunity. The saloon man is the same the world over. If he can't rule he will attempt to ruin No day has been set aside yet by the Iewis and Clark fair management In honor of printer's Ink. The manage-J ment must certainly know the import-I ance of this subject when it feels of its hulging pocketbook. During the muddy weather the feet of Walla Wallaus are clean and .r. Thev walk 011 street oaviiiK. And ihe city is still dniug business and shows no signs nf bankruptcy. No need to go away from Pendl-tici to get an education, either in common, classical or business branches. Pen dleton Is 'supplied with all kinds of good schools. Even the boasted carload of cattle from the International shows at Chi cago was nut so much, compared to the Oregon exhibits at the I wis and Clark fair. . , ... - The team that was unharnessed yes terday at Ihe close of harvest was harnessed again this morning to begin plowing for next year's crop in Uma tilla county. Twenty "touts" run out of the Walla Walla fair grounds in one day is an excellent record. Let the work spread. More strange faces among the pub lic school children this fall than ever before. Just think how nice pavement would be during this awful weather. FACTS A ROUT COLOMBIA. "I may positively affirm that the unsetttld period of revolutions (In Colombia) Is past and forever gone," writes Enrique Perez In "Im Mlsceln nea." "Colombia has sources of wealth al most Inexhaustible. The output of her gold mines can compete to ndvantuge with that of the richest gold mines in the world. Five hundred thousand square miles of the most fertile terri tory are there waiting for railways to cross them In every direction. "(Nipper and Iron are plentiful, oil gushes out from the lund like streams of water; coal, bituminous and an thracite, to be found In great quanti ties; India rubber, vanilla, a large and unknown variety of fibre plants, and. In fine, all the products of all cli mates and zones, afford many arid en vluble chances to foreign capital and labor. "People going to Colombia can se lect the cllmute best suited to their taste, from the warmest tropical heat to the severest cold in the regions of perpetual snow, and there Is some thing to do everywhere, something to work upon wherever man chooses to KO." ROY WON HIS CASE. The Judge of one of the Missouri county courts went to his home the other afternoon, says the Kansas City Journal, and. becoming acquainted with some flagrant act of his 7-year-old son, summoned the lad before him. "Now, sir. lay off your coat," he said sternly. "I am going to give you a whipping that you will remem ber as long aa you live." "If It please your Honor," said the boy, "we desire to ask a stay of the proceedings In this case until we can prepare and file a change of venue to mother's court. Our application will be based on the belief that this court has form ed an opinion regarding the guilt of the defendant, which cannot be shoken by evidence, and is, therefore, not competent to try the case." Stay was granted and the boy allowed 25 cents attorney fee. The new rates to Manila, Hong Kong and Shanghai from Seattle are: First-class, 22B; second, $168.76: third, 1126; Asiatic steerage, $51.

The following brief review of a neu tral language, originated in 1S87. in Kurope, and known as Esperanto, has been published in recent numbers of several magazines: Esperanto was devised by Ir. Zam enhof, of Dellstock. Uussia. The language has been in existence since 1KST. Phonetic spelling is a feature. It has 20UI) root words. All the words common to the prin t ipai languages have been absorbed with Utile, If tiny, alterations. All of these words, by the use of pi c fixes and suffixes, are Intended to be sufficient to express every shade of thought or action. The Human alphabet is used. The pronunciation is phonetic throughout one letter, one sound. The vowels are confined to five. All consonnantal sounds are eliminated. All singular nouns end in "o." all adjectives In "a." ull derived adverbs in "e," ami all plurals In "J." All verbs are regular. There Is only one conjugation. In pronunciation all emphasis comes 011 the last syllable but onei Many thousands of persons through out Europe can speak and write It fluently. There are many magazines devoted to It. It is propagated by associations or ganized to study and extend Its use. The Esperanto grammar has been translated into more than lan guages and dialects. It already has a considerable liter ature of its own. A big convention of persons Inter ested In Ksperanto has Just been held at lioulogne. France. NO LIFE ON THE MOOX. The moon being much the nearest to us of all the heavenly bodies, we can pronounce more definitely in its case than in any other. We know that neither air or water exists on the moon In iiuantlties sutfiiccut to be perceived by the most delicate tests at our com muml. It Is certain that the mood's atmosphere, if any exists, is less than the thousandths part of the density of that around us. The vacuum Is greater than any ordinary air-pump is capable of producing.
