IS LA GUAMIH ASLEEP? One would believe from reading th La Grande Observer that the people of La Grande are asleep. In speaking of educational facilities in eastern Oregon the Observer Bays: "Eastern Oregon is a ripe field In which some strong denominational school should locate an academy, and there is no better location for such an institution than La Grande. We should keep this in view and be ready to grasp the opportunity when it comes." Eastern Oregon is already occupied with an academy, the only one be tween Spokane and Portland and the only one between Boise and Portlan 1. Pendleton academy has been in opera tion for five years, and La Grande has not sent one-tenth of one. per cent of the attendance to this excellent school. A classical and common school edu cation with religious surroundings may be secured at Pendleton academy. It appeals to those who desire some thing more than the rudiments of an education. Its work is thorough and it stands alone In this great field of eastern Oregon, eastern Washington and Idaho, and yet La Grande does not patronize It. Wallowa, Baker, Grant. Morrow. Union and Malheur counties are all directly tributary to this institution, yet these counties prefer to send their pupils to Portland, or Tacoma, or Oakland for the same education that can be secured In Pendleton. Eastern Oregon Is extremely dis loyal to this educational Institution. The La Grande paper says that "East ern Oregon should be occupied with such a school." This field Is occupied and has been occupied for five years with a school giving the best of classi cal training. In connection with com mon school education and religious training, and yet La Grande does not know that such a school exists, If the La Grande paper voices the common knowledge. Let La Grande patronize the eastern Oregon school now established and struggling along in a small way before she talks of founding new ones. The field Is large enoufrh for one good school, but not large enough for more at this time. Any new school founded anywhere in this territory mentioned would fail and would only retard all school growth by Its failure. STORY OP THE INDIAN. A work which, when published, will be known as "A Handbook or Diction ary of the American Indians North of Mexico." Is at last In the hands of the government printer, who has received from the' bureau of ethnology over 70n ruts which will bo used In illus trating this work. Over 25 years ago, before the bureau of ethnology was In existence, a num ber of men who are now connected with that Institution and who wcro In terested In the subject of American 0nthronologv conceived the Idea of compiling a dictionary of the Amcrl. can Indians which would give In con densed though by no means abhrevl ated form a complete and exhaustive descriptive list of Indian stocks, con- fp-le-nrles. tribes, sub-tribes, clans, gentes and geographical names, ac co.i.panlej by a list of tho various names by which the Indians and their settlements have been known, together with biographies of Indians of note. sketches of their manners and cus torn, a list of Indian words Incorpor ated Into the English language, to say nothing of a vast deal of other matter relating to prehistoric and pre-Colum blan conditions and other subjects. The most prominent of the Amorl- can anthropologists have been collect ing material for this great work. U will be published and available for those w ho are Interested In such sub jects by or before December 15. GROWTH OF PUBLIC OWNERSHIP The census office of the United States undertook some time ago to In vestigate the growth of the public ownership idea as applied to the light ing systems of cities and towns, and to compare the methods of the publicly and privately owned plants, says the Sun Kranoisco Examiner. The first thing the agents charged with this investigation discovered was that the managers of the privately owned plants wore exceedingly loath to furnish any Information and rather Insolently defiant in their efforts to avoid doing sit. So great has been the spread of the public ownership sentiment that the managers of private corporations realize the fart that they are on trial for extortion. eortupTlon and ineffi ciency. They are as unwilling to give the facts as a felon in the dock Is to testify against himself. Anil for so long a time have they, by their persistent participation In partisan politics, been able to rule mayors and councils, commissions and legislatures that they doubtless feel It an Impertinence for the mere agents of the people, officials of the United States government, to come prying into their private affairs. When Ihe statistics thus painfully gathered from unwilling witnesses are codified they show the extravagance of private as compared with public ownership, and the rapid multiplica tion of municipally owned plants In the United States. That we are far behind European or even South American cities In our mu nicipalizing of public utilities is no toriously true. Hut the report of the United States census shows how rap idly this situation Is being corrected in the country at large. In the matter of electric lighting plants alone, there are today 815 owned and operated by; cities, as against only 6S In 1889. Since; that year the Increase In municipal plants has proceeded and shows a constant growing ratio. An interesting fact In political his tory, though not within the scope of this report, is that no city or town of the United States has ever had an op portunity to vole upon municipal own ership without warmly approving It. Chicago furnishes doubtless the most shining example of the force of this public sentiment, but scores of cities have had an opportunity to decide at the polls the question of taking over their gas or their water systems, one has voted adversely. Not NO PATENT O.V FLOWEI5S. Luther Burbank wasted 500 worth of time talking to us about his work and his theories and showing us his gardens, says the Washington Star. When we left he Illiea our urm flowers of the rarest kinds that were worth thousands of dollars. Like other men of genius he is ab .niiimiv indifferent about money. He talked very freely concerning his fi nances. He saiil he was not in me hu-anpsa for Kitin. although every flow er in his garden was of great value for seed. He showed us a bed of dahlias several hundred plants tor wnicn a Chicago man had offered him $100 each He picked up a leaf of spine less cactus as big s his hand and said It was worth S00 for seed. About a bushel or similar leaves were lying on the ground. He took us to a bed of "star flowers" some thing entirely new a hybrid which he has produced from an Australian plant sent him by a friend. It Is ever lasting, pink, crimson and white, and ntver loses Its color or luster. He told us that a French millinery company had offered to buy all of there flowers that ne couiu ri, siring to use them for trimming !'&3, but insisted upon having a million blossoms to start with, so as to snpp's any demand. He said the contract was worth hundreds oi mu"" dollars, but he was compelled to de cline It, because it wo n 1 k(.;p him tr r.n other work that wet gr'aier importance. Iiutead ot accepting tne fortune the Frenchmen offered him he gave them some seed and told them to raise their own nowers. Half in complaint, halt in cougiai ulation, he explained that it was im possible to patent a flower or a vege table or a tree or any kind of plant, lie considered this Injustice. Authors n convrlKht books, manufacturers can protect their Inventions, but bot- . v,oo no wav of securing the results of their labor and study and must share them with the world. But he said he did not care. The fame and . ...... ...i , nloved were all he wanted. DENATURALIZATION. A citizen of the United States, who lenves the United States for a foreign country, takes up his residence there and takes part In tho affairs of the nn,mtr in which he has taken up his re.lence. such as voting at elections, by his act renounces his cltlzcnBhlp as a citizen of the United States and as sumes the citizenship of the country In which he lives and exercises the rlghtB of :m elector. Upon his return to this country, wishing to again be a citizen thereof, he must proceed exactly as If he had never been In the country before. The rule Is that a man can not be a citizen of two nations at the same time, and he must elect which nation he will be a citizen of. The moment he makes that election he purrondcrs his citizenship of the na tlon he turned his back upon. San j Francisco Call. MARCH OF 1JHEHTY. Europe already has two republics Switzerland and Prance. The Ameri can continent has 21, beginning with the United States and Mexico, and ex tending through the West Indies and Central and South America to Cape Horn. Virtually, too, Canada Is a re public, and so Is Australia. But the sw.iy of the republican idea" does not end I'ere. By far the strongest of the parties in the relchstag of the Gorman en. pile Is the socialist, which alms to establish a republic. Republicanism Is powerful In Austria. Italy, Belgium. Denmark and every other European mcnarchial country. The republicans In Spain are laying lh.ir plans to re peat their experiment of 30 years ago, when , ,portutilty offers John Slor iey has called England a "crowned re public." Hungary Immediately con gratulated Norway on Its declaration of independence. Ireland's press ap plauds Norway's act. Both these lo calities aspire lo republicanism, and in Hungary's case the Ideal stands a chance to be attained when the death of the aged and popular Francis Jo seph, who Is the only bond between Austria and Hungary, brings that spilt In the poiygot empire of the Haps burgs w hich everybody Is looking, for. Leslie's Weekly. , V Till UP IX W ALL STKEKT. One of the most fearless exploits in the history of crime has Just been dared and done. A thief has ventur ed Into Wall si feet and made good his escape with $359,000 worth of securi ties. For time out of mind the police have had a dead line above the Jewelers' district In Maiden Lane, across which no robber dared go. The underworld has not ventured beyond that dead line into Wull street. The most in trepid burglar did not venture there for fear of having the accoutrements of his trade stolen from him. But this dare-devil thief had no sectional Jimmy to risk. He operated wltli a forged check and a false cer tification, and these bore such a close resemblance to the implements of high finance that they and he alike passed without suspicion. And now he has gone with 1369.000 worth of booty, leaving behind him nothing but the doubt whether per haps his methods are not an Improve ment on some of those still in vogue in less progressive Wall street.

Milwaukee was made fam ous by a certain brand of beer, it is said, and now this beer Becks to con trol the city of its creation und up building. 1 -1 Multi-millionaires do hot hesitate to use the churches as go-betweens in the matter of handling bribes. One of the wealthiest men 111 the city, who cluims to be a loyal republican, made a large contribution to a certain church for the purpose of Influencing the election In favor of a democratic candidate for mayor. This gentleman reimbursed himself later on by rob bing the city. Money has no politics In Milwaukee or elsewhere. It Is without patriotism and wholly selfish; but the people are bigger than money and ure asserting themselves and calling money to ac count, which Is a wholesome sign. By a blow on the head received seveial weeks ago, Garrett T. Dun ham, of Plalnfleldl N. J., is peculiarly afflicted. His ntind.t memory and speech are in no degree affected ex cept that he has entirely forgotten nouns, cither personal or impersonal he cannot remember or pronounce the name of any person or object.
