The Evening Telegram says that Portland is not responsible for the poor markets now afforded eastern Oregon range cattle. Thls statement was made In answer an article In the East Oregonlan a few days ago. reciting the fact that Umatilla. Baker and Grant counties re filled to overflowing with fat cat-" tie, but that the market Is so poor and prices bo low that cattle men are discouraged, and the very l'fe of the great Industry Is threatened by these conditions. The East Oregonlan, tn the article mentioned, laid the blame for the poor market upon Portland capital, and it takes occasion now to repeat this statement. The Portland Chamber of Com merce Bulletin for October, gives the average deposits In Portland banks at $42,000,000. This great mass of wealth is lying Idle most of the year, its- owners not having the business activity to Invest it in needed Institu tions, such as packing plants, canner ies, and other Industries that would Afford a market for Inland empire stuff which Is now a drug, and which would return handsome Incomes from the investment. Portland is extremely Jealous of any Invasion of her trade territory In cen , tral and eastern Oregon, by any out side rival, and yet Portland takes no venture to Increase that trade and bind It to her. If eastern Oregon cat tle, sheep, hay and wheat are ship ped eastward it is Portland's fault, for she can afford to handle all the entire output of the eastern Oregon counties. Eastern Oregon will develop In ma terial resources Just as rapidly as Portland provides a .market for the products of the state. That city is the market center of the state and her idle tap I til I should make provision to take care of the products of central and eastern Oregon, as rapidly as they are produced and sent to her markets. Any other arrangement will alienate central and eastern Oregon from Port land In time. Those vast sections will learn to look elsewhere for an outlet and will not depend on Portland. It Is up to Portland to build packing plants. Her $42,000,000 deposits should be utilized. Money is of no value, except as it is used. Idle money is of no more value to the country than so much soap. JURY SYSTEM A FARCE. At Miller, S. D., last week Judge Whiting "roasted" a Jury to a turn. The Miller Sun says It was the "most scathing rebuke ever given Jurors for failure to agree." The defendant was charged with an offense against a 13-year-old girl. As the words, "vile wretch, low vil lain, etc.," fell from the Judge's Hps as he referred to the defendant and as the Jurors were told that they lacked reasoning powers or were In fluenced by sympathy with the crime the evidence of the accused's guilt be ing overwhelming, the men sat speech less, their faces turning to ashen pale. Finally the Judge bade the Jurors go with the parting shot that If the man whom they failed to convict should commit an offense against their daughters they themselves would be to blame. The Jury stood nine to three for conviction. A Jury law which would have ena bled a three-fourths majority to bring In a verdict would have convicted the accused In this case. Justice would have been done so far a the courts could k and the Jury system would not huve suffered unotlier serious loss In the confidence of the public. The three-fourths verdict Is almost an Inevitable result in the course of time. It will make jury fixing much more difficult ami promote the cause of Justice ami common respect for the jury n.s all Institution. ;Mlll,l; MADE KSY. Heretofore It has been extremely difficult for the uninitiated to gain access to any of the secret poker games running in several Pendleton saloons, hut through the vigilance and patience of the East Oregonlan. complete set of signals, by which ad mission may be gained to any of these places, has been secured and Is here with published. A big. burly "lookout" is always found guarding the outside door to all these back-room games, and the door leading Into the gambling room Is always securely lucked. The set of signals which this doorkeeper uses In passing information to the gamblers Inside is as follows: One rap I am going downstairs to get a drink. Keep on playing. All Is sa f e. Two raps Safety. N'o one In sight. Three raps Open the door quick. Here comes a sucker with plenty of money. Let him In before he changes his mlud. Four raps Safety. That was only a councilman coming up the stairway. Keep on playing in perfoct ease and comfort. Five raps Danger. Here comes a stranger. May be a new member of the Law Enforcement league. Walt until I "size him up." Don't play loudly for a moment. Talk In whis pers. Six raps Safety. It was a Pilot Rock farmer. There Is no Law En forcement leugue at Pilot Rock. Ad mit the gentlemun. He is looking for a game. Seven raps Safety. That Is only a policeman coming up the stairs. Play In safety. Eight rups Extreme danger. Hold your breath for a moment while I In vestigate. A gentleman whom I saw talking with n member of the Law Enforcement leugue Is coming up the stairway. Nine raps Safety. It was only a rock crusher salesman looking for a member of the city council. Let him In for a conference with the council man. Ten raps Drinks are coming. Eleven raps The merchant who lost his "wad" last Saturday night Is coming back for reveuge. Make room at the table for one more. Twelve rnps Here comes a player from across the street, flame broke up over there. Two farmers carried away the entire "swag." Thirteen raps (given vigorously) Danger. Be ready to fly. The look out on the next block says that the lookout on the next block above says that two members of the Law En forcement league have come Into the upper end of the street talking seri ously. He ready to fly. Unlock the back door and count out your chips and money. The two are still ap proaching down .Main street, still talking seriously. Extreme danger still exists. They still approach. They are now on Court street and still ap proaching, talking more Berlously. Open the back door. They are Joined by a third member. They are now but two blocks away and still approach. Be ready to fly down the back stairs. They stop on the corner and talk, with their heads close together. They arc Joined by a fourth and more vi cious member, and still talk with heads more closely together. They are now looking at the front window of the saloon and nodding this way. Flee! They come, four abreast! A corporation of women has been formed In Indianapolis, for the pur pose of building small but artistic houses for people of moderate means. All of the directors are business wom en; one of the vice-presidents Is Miss Elizabeth Browning, the city librarian, and another is the principal of one of the public schools. The secretary has for some time been In charge of the office of a savings and loan associa tion and Is a member of the Indlan- nnolls Inspection board. It Is Just as expensive to erect an artistic small house as it is to put up woodbox. and It looks better. OLD RELICS UNEARTHED. Explorations made at an old Toltec pyramid on the Magucylotos hacenda in the slate of Puebla have disclosed the fact that the structure was built of clay bricks, which proves It to be far older than the Aztec monarcny, and possibly older even than the Tol tec occupation of the country. Sev eral elaborately carved figures were found renresentlng men In Chinese dress and with marked Chinese feat ures. The figures probably represent ed warriors. Antiquarians are much puzzled over the matter, for the evl dence points to Chinese settlement In Mexico In the past ages. Near Athens, Mich., Walter Palmer was Instantly killed and Chaffeur Illuko fatally Injured by their auto mobile bolting the road and capsiz ing In a swamp. TASMANIA; AT THE FARTHKH KST KM) OV TIIK WOULD. "Consul Harris of Chemnitz. Ucr muny. furnishes nil Interesting article on the Island of Tasmania, lying u few miles off the southern coast of Aus tralia. The information Is derived from the latest publications issued by the Tusimtnlun government, and may be useful to American manufacturers and merchants. The consul writes: "The latest publications Issued by the Tiismunlnti government for the benefit of those Interested In her fu ture contain some very interesting In formation. A concise statement .of some of the facts concerning tins country can not full to be useful to American merchants null manufactur ers, for the development of so small u colony as even Tasmania may offer them some opportunity of winning new markets. Tasmania Is probably the most neglected, while at the same time one of the most attractive of all the Hrlllsh Australasian colonies. "Us total area contains 16.77S.UU0 acres, of which one-fourth only has been alienated. There are still 11. 822.4SU ucres in the Island, generally speaking, whose forests have never heard the ling of the woodsman's ax. or whose sod hus been upturned by the farmer's plow. This island with Its virgin soil and healthful climate will ultimately pluy an Impoiinnt part In the world's commerce for the rea son that Its location, although Isolated. Is still sufficiently fuvoruble to secure a commanding position in the trade of Australasia and the Islands of the Pa cific. "The . climate Is healthy and con genial. The winters are wurmcr than those of England, and snow seldom falls except at high altitudes. The summers are hot. although less op pressive than those In Australia, and the air Is dry and rarely sultry'- The rainfall varies greutly at different sea sons of the year. On the north coast It Is from IS to 30 Inches. The west and south coasts ure always very wet. "On the whole the climate of Tas mania is so pleasant that many people In Australia go there every year to escape the heat and dust of the con tinent. The central parts of the Island are at an elevation of 1000 to 3000 feet, and it Is easy to get a consider able change of climate by traveling a short distance. I'pon these upland districts are large hikes which fcvJ waterfalls and swift running streams which are destined one day to be a source of vast wealth for Industrial purposes. "Tasmania Is nearly us large as Ire land, and Is divided into 18 counties. The Island abounds in good timber, and the lands are excellent for agri cultural purposes. Some pa-ts are heavily timbered with good and mer chantable wood, and minerals and ores are found in the upland district. Dor sey county contains some valuable gold and tin mines which ure being worked with profit. Launccston, the chief town In northern Tasmania, Is connected by a direct line of steamers with Melbourne and Sydney. On the west coast the country Is broken with high mountains and traveling Is Im practicable. These difficulties, how ever, are being overcome by an exten sion of railways and by building roan ways through primeval forests." WOMAN'S I.AWITI. PKKY. "There Is no decrease In marriage," declared Mr. Plowden 111 dray's Inn hall In London, the other day. "It Is simply a temporary lull In that husband-hunting chase which has gone on as long as civilization. "Although some women have adopt ed business careers for themselves, they have no serious intention of ceas ing to hunt their lawful prey. "Sooner or later woman will be tired of her new role, and will go back like a good girl to get the husband whom she should never have ceased to hunt." "Woman Is never so happy as when she Is doing something for a man," was another of Mr. Plowden's cherish ed convictions. No woman can look beautiful without good health. A woman's good health depends on those organs peculiarly femi nine, and which so often become disor dered, en mine misery and tiragging-down puln. Nature's laws am perfect, health endures if you olicy them, but disease follows disobedience.
