Low-whispered messn;es from

And ministering forms against

UMATILLA GENEALOGY.
Strange commingling of blood has
place on the frontiers of the
art. Trappers, adventurers, voy
rars, explorers and other early plo-
i of the northwest have left their
narks on every tribe of Indians in
ail country and to trace out the gen
ssuegy of some of the old members or
ate Umatilla tribe Is fascinating and
(treating work.
Wom:s, the Umatilla squaw living
war Ttiorn Hollow on the reservation,
a a half sister of the famous scout
anad (runter, Donald McKay, and In
terr . veins flows some of the richest
s'soJ thiit ever dared the wild fron
tiers, of the west
. To go back to the origin of We
taiz's nationality, It -Is necessary to be
gin with Alexander McKay, the daring
Scotch explorer who lost his life In the
sattructlon of the Tonquln, in Nootka
sand. He came west and Joined the
Aator expedition and left his OJibway
smmaw wife and half breed Scotch boy
as Canada.
There Dr. Mclaughlin found thj
attractive Indian-French woman and
wrd her, bringing her to be mistress
aT Fort Vancouver und sending the
my to Paris to be educated. The boy
was called Thomas McKay, and In his
wtins were the French and Ojlbway
Moot of his half breed mother and
be rich red Scotch strains of his dar
asg father.
McKay, then, was Scotch, OJibway
antd French, and he married a half
rterj French woman who had Chin
ook and Willamette blood In her
wins. We-nlx Is consequently a mix
ture of the Fremh-OJIbway, Scotcn,
Trench and Chinook-Willamette. Her
noband was a half-breed Cayuse and
tatif Walla, Walla with a Nez Perce
train, making her children, who are
Ailed Umatlllas, a mixture of the
Trench, Scotch, OJibway, Chinook.
Willamette, Walla Walla, Cayuse and
Sex Perce.
And We-nlx, herself, Is descended
.jeertly from Alexander McKay, the
atuhlng and gallant adventurer who
went down In the wreck of the Astor
. whip, the Tonquln, after a murderoub
snault by the Nootka. Indians.
LESSON OF MILTON.
In the county correspondence In to
y' East Oregonlan Is a statement
aar the municipal lighting plant at Mil
ana which is Interesting reading.
The plant cost the city $12,000,
artrteens of Milton taking the entire
M issue. After paying ell running
xnenses, Interest and other Items of
evpense, the plant furnishes free
met lights for Milton and then pay.i
r cent on the Investment. This
at dear profit to ti e city of Milton.
The most significant fact concern
tnc the plant ts that the cost of elec
trfclty to the public Is BO per cent
taaa than in Pendleton. Baker City or
Walla Walla.
Patriotic citizens of Milton kept
Barir bond( at home, thus Increasing
the vnlne of the plant to tho people
by having the Income from It Invested
In improvements anil betterments at
home, inntciul of Mending all profits to
illKtunt cities nitil foreign stockhold
ers. It Is ho Inviting, that Astoria and
other progressive cities are constantly
Inquiring ns to details of the munici
pal plant. It la worth careful study
by people everywhere for It Is tha
loi'.leiil solution of the question.
U1UU AND 1HKK3ATION.
The East Oregonlan today prints a
Washington dispatch, showing some
thing of the Inside view on the ques
tion of labor In connection with the
government Irrigation projects.
The dispatch reveals genuli.e alarm
among officials of the reclamation de
partment In tho matter of labor sup
ply for the enormous works now un
der way.
And there seems to be some foun
dutoln for the alarm.
It Is conservatively estimated that
200.000 laborers will be employed In
railroad construction work In the west
and northwest Including Canada, for
tho next five years. This enormous
demand for common labor will tax the
labor supply of the Pacific coast to
the utmost limit.
Very few foreigners will be em
ployed in railroad construction If
Americans can be secured. Foreign
labor Is never satisfactory. It has
llttlo ambition and less responsibility,
and large contractors despise the
Japs, Chinese, Hungarians, Greeks
and Italians which they are forced
to employ at times. White men are
preferred In almost every Instance If
they can be found within reasonable
prices for labor.
So Judging from the actual condi
tion which now confronts the country,
there Is a rich harvest In store for the
common and skilled laborer In the
northwest Irrigation projects must
be built and will be built and the
hundreds of miles of projected rail
roads must and will be built.
In Umatilla county there are
enough local laborers, It Is thought,
to complete the East Umatilla Irriga
tion project. Farmers In many In
stances, will be glad to find work for
teams for a portion of the season, and
men having means with which to pur
chase a few teams will be well re
warded for their Investment by sub
contracting and working by the day
on the canal and reservoir work,
which must be done.
The more of this (1,000,000 appro
priated for the E:it Umatilla project
which can be kept at home, the bet
ter for the county and it Is hoped that
Umatilla counly Is able to furnish
enough labor for the needs of the
government and the private ditch
ompanies now at. work and projected
In the county.
It Is worthy of not'ee that Senator
John M. Gearin rode to Washington
on a ticket purchased with hard cash,
and not on a free pass as is too often
the case with United States senators.
Thus the new senator roes to begin
his duties untrammeled from the
start ond will have no hesitancy In
standing flatly for any rate or rail
road regulation which may come be
fore congress. Senator Gearin Is In
favor of railroad regulation by con
gress, and It Is particularly fortunato
for the state that the new senator will
be in hearty accord with President
Roosevelt on this vital Issue. His In
fluence will have Us effect in off
setting the bitter opposition to this
movement which the president Is
meeting within his own party.
ROAD TO KDENTOWN.
Oh, road that leadeth to Edentown,
How do you run and where Is your
trail?
Still mend you up. or creep you down.
Ey bright, white height of flowery
dale?
For some who hasten to or fro.
Striving In pleasure their care to
drown,
Have souls avatnrir, and Iain would
know
The beautiful road to Edentown.
We know right well" for our hearts
declare-
That once In a time that was long
ago
We looked on that city, bright and
fair, .
Its towers ashlne in the sunrise
glow;
Rut our foet have wandered afar since
then.
And we walked where the skies are
forever afrown,
Wiiile we wearily wondered If ever
again
We shall look on the glory of Eden
town, Oh, wonderful city of Edentown
Somewhere, we believe, o er
the
mist and haze.
In the glory of skies that never frown.
And the perfect peace of the per
fect days;
And so, though we wander or here
or there.
Wearily up or dreamily down.
We still are awaiting the country fair
And the wondrous peace of our
Edentown.

TIIE DRAMA IX NEVADA.
Ibsen's "Ghosts," which was given
ut the Columbia theater Thursday
night, has been presented nearly ev
erywhere, and crltclsms have been of
all kinds, some saying that the play
is edifying and Instructive and should
bo seen by everyone, while others con
demn the play and contend that It
should not be permitted on tho stage.
The most unique criticism we have
seen Is taken from the Appeal, Car
son, New, where this company ap
peared lust month. Here It is:
Ibsen's Norwegian play of "Ghosts,"
with one setting of scenery, no music,
and three knocks with a club on the
door to raise the curtain, was pre
sented lust evening.
a a a
"The piny is certainly a moral hair
raiser, and the stuffing Is knocked out
of the decalogue at every turn.
Mrs. Alvlng, the leading lady, who
keeps her chin high In the air, has
munied li moral monstrosity In the
shape of u spavined rake, and hides it
from the world. She weal's a pleas
ant smile and gives society the glad
hand, and finally lets go all holds
when her husband gets gay with the
htred girl, und gives an old tar 300
plunks to marry her and stand the re
sponsibility for tho expected popula
tion.
'Oswold, the mother's only boy Is
sent to Paris to paint views for the
marines, and takes kindly t. the guy
life of the capital where the Joy of
living is the rage and families are
reared In a section where a printer
running a Job office solely on marriage
certificates would hit the poorhouse
with a dull thud.
Rcgina, the result of Mr. Alvlng's
attentions to the hired girl, also
works In the family, and falls In love
with the painter boy on Ills return
from Paris. They vote country life
too slow and plan to go to Paris and
start a family. The doting mother
gives her consent, and Pastor Man
ders, who Is throwing fits all through
the play, has a spasm.
The boy, on being told that the
girl of his choice Is his half sister,
throws another, his mamma having
also thrown a few in the other act.
Engstrand, who runs a sort of sail
ors' and soldiers' canteen, sets fire to
an orphanage, and the boy, who has
inherited sort of a mayonnaise-dress
ing brain from his" awful dad, tears
about the stage a spell, breaks some
furniture and upsets the wine. He
finally takes rough on rats, and dies
a gibbering Idiot, with his mother
slobbering over him, and trying to
figure out in her own mind that he
was merely drunk and disorderly.
The players handled the sticky mess
as well as could be expected, all being
excellent actors, although- Mtas Raze-
to built up her bustle too high. Miss
Lockwood Is strong, and Mestayer
handles his thankless role conscien
tiously. MacGregor, as Pastor Man
ders, was very effective, but there
was no better actor In the cast than
Edwin Bailey In his minor role.
As a sermon on the law of heredi
ty the play Is great but after seeing it
we' are glad to announce that Haver
'y's Minstrels will relieve the Ibsen
gloom on November S next Monday
night.
Talk Actohh Continent.
Professor Puproln of Columbia uni
versity. Is working on an experiment
to prove that conversation can be
carried on between New York and

to San Francisco and are expecting to
complete the work this week. A
stretch of 90 miles Is yet to be com

WENT OFF WITH A -OI.liECTION.
The oldest Inhabitants' of New Ha
ven tell many a good story of the days
of "Parson" Putnam who was the
shepherd of the Congregational flock
there.
One Sunday a strange young man
answered the call to take up the col
lection. As he passed the door with
the box well filled, the stranger qui
etly pushed It open and slipped out.
"Parson" Putnam was the only one
to see the move. He arose und suid
In solemn tones:
"If that young man has run off with
the collection he'll be dammed.!"
Instantly there was a craning of
necks and one old deacon dashed In
the rear window. The stranger was
putting down the road with the box
under his arm and his coat tails flying.
The deacon turned round to "Parson"
Putnam and reported:
"If that young mei hasn't run off
with the collection," he said, "I'll be
dammed!" Chicago Interocean.
Senator Gearin left Portland De
cember It for Washington. He paid
cash for his through ticket.
