J. H. Cradlebaugh, in Salem Journal. THE CHINOOK WIND. Alaska may boast of its radiant anrora borealis. New England her delicious twilights, deepening Into the night as a river merges with the sea, the south may have her musical momlngs filled with the ecstacy of awakening bird and singing forest, the north may boast the brilliant lus ter of the moonlight gleaming upon the snow fields like a robe of duv monds but Oregon has her chlnook wind. There is no other wind like It in the world. It has no counterpart In na tore. For weeks and months ihe Oregon mountain and valley may be wrapped In ice and snow. The limbs and twigs may be bent with frost. The grass may be covered and frozen and the springs congealed. At dark tonight nature may be thus sealed up In the embraces of winter and, lo! In the morning the balmy breath of the chlnook wind steals gently as a barefoot maiden across the land. Ice fetters are silently unlocked, trees are disrobed of frost, snow drifts melt and disappear as by some magic Influence, the burled foothills uncover their faces and soon the bare shoulders of the rugged mountains are seen jutting through the snowy robes and the congealed brooklet sings on its way, filled to overflowing in the night. The wondrous transformation comes as mysteriously as a ghost in the night. Stray breaths from the warm Japan current that washes the Pacific shores are sent whispering over the mountains, and nature yields to this tender persuasion of the sea. The chlnook wind has been the savior of Oregon stockmen many times In the past. Its first warm fluish has been hailed with delight when winter clung on with tenacity and the last haystack was diminishing at a rapid rate. But it is unfailing as the sea. As sure as the refreshing Japan currents weeps the Pac ific shores, Just so sure will the chlnook wind come to un lock the ice fetters and fill the brooks and start early the buttercups on the foothills of Oregon. KFIINKI) DEGENERACY. If there should happen In Pendle ton, even in an Infinitely small way, such a social scandal as has shaken New York city In the blackmailing of the millionaires by Colonel Mann. ' 1 .,'jjiflj 'i'l'': editor of Town Topics, all those con nected with It would be forever ostra cized, disgraced, besmirched beyond hope of cleansing. ' But It causes scarcely a flutter 5t dismay In the metropolis. Those who have admitted In court that they had paid blackmail money to this piratical journal go about their usual social enterprises unashamed. They admit that they paid money to hush up social scandals. But this does not cause a flush of shame on their cheeks. They admit that things happen in New York society which must not, cannot be printed and so they make a practice of paying hush money. The surface of New York society may be smooth, glossy, attractive but under a thin coating is a fester ing, stinking sore of moral leprosy. It Is the acme and high fever of re fined degeneracy. Back of the beautiful faces and voluptuous figures in the social whirl, lies a secret and corrupt history which would shame the most degrad ed bum. but which Is reveled in by the select few In delighted abase ment. Over $1,000,000 has been extorted from the leading millionaires by Town Topics, as payment for suppressing unprintable scandals In "high" life. One dollar paid for such purposes In Pendleton. Baker City or any other typical American city would upturn the social and business world there, but In New York, the commercial center, the fashionable mecca of the western hemisphere, blackmail, sup pression of news, keeping rotten so cial secrets out of public notice. Is made a profession, a studied trade. And people do not shudder at the tendency. There Is more danger in this refined degeneracy than In the bold brigand age which comes out In the open and attacks Its victim. Where filth and moral leprosy appears among the lower stratas of society they are loudly denounced and bewailed but this refined, polished, brazen, glided sort Is passed unnoticed by the world. STATE EXAMINER NEEDED. The East Oregonian was the first paper in Oregon to demand a public accountant, a state examiner of ac counts, and right now while the Da vis trial is In progress In this coun ty, and while the responsibility for a 110,000 shortage in the accounts of the sheriff's office is being fixed, is a good time to repeat this demand. Wyoming created the office of pub 11c accountant when the state was ad mitted to the union and since it has been a state, not one cent of loss has been sustained by any county, district or municipal government through shortage In accounts. The $10,000 shortage in Umatilla county would pay the salary of the state accountant for three years and every county, every city, every school district would be assured of accuracy In all their accounts. The next legislature should create this office In Oregon. The East Oregonian believes In economy and would hesitate to ad vocate the creation of any new office which would not promise to earn its way In public service to the peopl but such an office will certainly be an econolmcal and sensible move. Aside from safeguarding the peo pie's funds, it will guarantee all offl clals against mistakes and crooked ness of employes, and It Is a wonder that Oregon, as progressive as she Is, has so long neglected this matter. Representatives and senators nom inated this year should be pledged to support such a law. Oregon needs it. One lawsuit such as is now In progress In Umatilla county brings home to the voter the necessity of such a law. The money paid to Umatilla county by ex-Sheriff Blakley and Sheriff Taylor, to balance up the shortage in their accounts, would pay the salary of a public examiner for three years and not only the funds and books of Umatilla county would be safeguarded by such an examiner, but every coun ty in the state would be equally guarded. Don't It seem that such an official Is needed? Should not Umatilla county start the agitation for this office? -s The East Oregonian hns broken all newspaper records In Oregon out A WINDOW FULL and a store full or everything worth the having In apparatus and appli ances for Indoor and outdoor athletics will greet your eye at Frazlcr's.

For the past two weeks, while this trial has been In progress, tho East Oregonian has -furnished Its readers from three to five columns of verbatim report of the trial, and within two hours after the Inst note was made at the court nouse In the afternoon, the full account of the day's proceedings was delivered at Pendleton homes to be read with fascinated interest around the eve ning lamp. No other paper In the state outside of Portland has ever handled a case as the East Oregonian has handled this one. A shorthand reported has been employed every day since the trial begun, In addition to the regular local force which . has covered the principal features out side of the verbatim report. Today two shorthand reporters were em ployed to get an accurate and full ac count of the arguments for the rend ers of the paper tonight not tomor row, 12 or 14 hours after the argu ments were delivered. TAI L TO HE UE.VItl) FROM. The other evening the Rev. Mr. Phllacter sat down at the tea table with a very thoughtful air, and nt- tended to the wants of his brood In n very abstracted manner. Presently he looked up at his wife and said: 'The Apostle Paul" "Got an awful lump on the head 'safternoon," broke In the pastor's eldest son, "playing baseball. Bat flew out of the striker's hand when I was umpire, and cracked me tight above the ear. Hurt? Golly:" and the lad shook his head In dismal but expressive pantomime as he tenderly rubbed the lump that looked like a billiard ball with hair on It. The pas tor gravely paused for the interrup tion, and resumed: "The Apostle Paul " "Saw Mrs. O'Ghemlnle down at Greenhaum's this afternoon," said his eldest daughter, addressing her moth er. "She had the same old everlast ing black silk, made over with a vest of tllleule green silk, coat-tall basque pattern, oversklrt made with diagonal folds In front, edged with deep fringe; yellow straw hat with black velvet facing Inside the brim, and pale bluj flowers. She's going to Chicago." The good minister waited patiently, and then in tones just a shade louder than before, said; "The Apostle Paul " "Went In swlmmln' last night with Ben and Henry, pop, an' stepped on a clam shell," exclaimed his youngest son; "cut my feet so I can't wear my shoe; and please, may I stay home tomorrow?" ' The pastor Informed his son that he might stay away from the river, and then resumed his topic. He said: "The Apostle Paul says " "My teacher Is an awful liar." shouted the second son; "he says the world Is as round as an orange, and it turns round all the time faster than a circus man can ride. 1 guess h ain't got much sense." The mother lifted a warning finger toward the boy and said, "Sh!" and the father resumed: "The Apostle Paul says" "Don't bite off twice as much as you can chew," broke out the eldest son. reproving the assault of his little brother on a piece of cake. The pas tor's face showed Just a trifle annoy ance, as he said In very firm, decided tones: "The Aposlle Pnul says " "There's a fly In the butter'" shriek ed the youngest hopeful of the family, and a general laugh followed. When silence was again restored, the eldest daughter, with an air of curiosity, said: "Well, but pa, I really would like to know what the Apostle Paul said.' "Pass me the mustard." said the pastor absently. Then the committee rose and the senate went Into executive session and soon after adjourned. Burlington (Vt.) Free Press. DO IT NOW. Secretary Taft and some heads of departments were at the White House one day recently, discussing a compli cated Philippine problem with the president. One of the party, a hopeless slave to Ihe roundabout way the govern ment bureaus do business, was ex- l-plalnlng at great length why a certain proposition, advanced Dy me presi dent, was Impossible. "You see, Mr. President'" he said, "your plan Is not In accordance with the government procedure. We do things differently. It will require ref erence back to my bureau and then we shnll get reports from everybody, make the Indorsements, and go at It according to the system that prevails." "But," Insisted the president, "why cannot we avoid all this red tape and do the thing sensibly?" "Ued tape?" gasped the department head; "why, without that red tape I am afraid It would not be legal." "Oh," said the president, smiling affably, "If that Is all we will remove the taint of legality and do It now." KNOW THYSELF. A teacher In one of Boston's public schools has Instructed her pupils In hygiene and toward the end of the term, wishing to see how well they could remember, told them to ench write out a little story of the humnn body. The following Is copied from the "story" one small boy handed her, with the confident assurance that he knew It was all right, for he had studied very hard over It. "The human body Is divided Into three parts; the head, th thorax and the abdomen. "The head contains tho brains, If there are any; tho thorax contains the heart and the vital organs, nnd the abdomen the vowels, of which there are five, a, e, I, o, and u, and some times w and y."

All the phenomena of light, heat and electricity have their origin In the ether. From the Memphis News Sclmltar. Ycs:r.' Z'.uskands. t:i!:e lu-ed.
