OREGON SHOULD HELP IDAHO. fte people of Idaho should have Jtie heartiest co-operation of the peo ple, of Oregon in entertaining the Na ttHtal Irrigation congress which meets at Poise on September 3. This congress will bring to the aaerthwest one of the finest bodies of easterners that it is possible to get to jttner In a common purpose. Public stTficials. a-overnment experts, promi wit legislators. lending Journalists arx? foreign representatives will all wtigregate at Poise to take part in the proceed'ngs of this congress. Thir means advertisement for the wt. Ever' one of the delegates and lrjitors who come to Eoise and see Irrigation at Its height in the splen did districts of Idaho, will become a ktwsier for irrigation. It means Influ 5ce in conzress.. advertisement from Jfip press of the east and stronger Srfer.tshiT'i between the eastern and western people. Xhatever comes to Idaho from the ligation congress will be equally 3hared by Oregon and other arid states. The interests of the arid states ire Identical. Therefore the entire arett ,tnd especially the state of Ore gon, houId offer Idaho every assist ance and fullest co-operation In en tertaining the visitors. The. Oregon delegates should organ be tmfb'e leaving the state and go to Bai'f w'ih an organization and a pur pose. The state association should s!S the delegates from every portion oClhe state together, either before go-atas.-tO'IrJaho, or else at Boise on the ry previous to the opening of the aoogreso, and th?n go Into the con xress with colors Tying and forces or ganized. Oregon Is especially Interested In cwrnment Irrigation. She has con tributed the largest amount of any eat the states to the government Irri gation fund and she has received a very small proportion of the funds In arrfgation appropriations. The Irrigation congress will have n . Influence on the next session of rjngress and, on the government of llriais. This congress is the crystal itwrd thought and sentiment on the wrbjct of irrigation. In the United Stater. The states which show great wet activity, greatest Interest and wfcirh make the best Impression on the wfernrs at the congress will be rr?rst remembered and will receive Ittv; best advertising and help from the Therefore Oregon should go to the wcjrress organized and In form. She afcoold have souvenirs, literature, me iswmtoe' that will be unique and out of the ordinary. Especially should T-joil!a county have something spec 3ai IX the congresn. 3b is not necessary to have a big tokfet. Something unique and at- trnct've. Just a Moorhouse photo graph and a few Hurt about the gov ernment project. Anything to attract attention to the county will serv to fix the county In the memories of the easterners at the congress. TIIK 1.AHOH UNION'S AX I) PANAMA Tlie American Federation of Labor, tln-uugh its president, Samuel Com pels, has assailed the administration for bringing Chinese laborers into Panama to work on the canal. The government has tried to keep white labor. It has tried Jamaica ne-g.-oes. It has tried native Panamans. It has tried American negroes and none f them give satisfaction on ac count of the unbearable heat of the Isthmus. The canal commission has exhaust ed every resource, it seems, in trying to avoid Chinese or Japanese labor. There is no other alternative In the case, except to Import coolies who can live In the heat of Panama. Oompers can offer no laborers to the government. His forces will not ac cept positions there. What right has he to complain at the Importation of Chinese, after every honest effort has been made to dig the canal without them? Let the labor unions which are so ready to strike and kick nnd complain, do something to relieve the situation If they want dictatorial powers. The government is doing the best it can. Such cannot be said of Oompers. Tin; lni itK or Portland. Portland is destined to be one of th big cities of the world. Nothing can prevent this. Nature has made It possible and man has made it probable. At the gateway to the orient and Alaska, with a magni ficent river highway passing her from the east and the south, nnd with a fresh water harbor sufficient for all the fleets of the Pacific, she is pecul iarly fitted for a world commerce. With an undeveloped empire lying at her elbows in the interior of Ore gon, with projected railroads leading Into the heart of this undeveloped re gion, she Is nssured of her future. lioth from the sea and land she draws an immense prestige. She can ship out more' products than the northwest can produce and she can distribute to the Interior more mer chandise than three such territories would need. The East Oregonlnn delights to watch the developing resources of Portland. Not only will' that city bo the metropolis of Oregon, but within a few years, with rational development she will be the metropolis of the Pa cific coast. The foundations for such n city are there. . i LEARNED LANGUAGE IN JAIL. When Alexander Berkmann left the Allegheny county prison In May last, after having served 15 years for an attempt to kill Henry C. Frick. the coke and steel magnate, he found himself able to converse fluently In eight languages. The years behind prison bars have converted him from an avowed anar chist to a student and philosopher. Many persons have fo-gotten both Uerkmann and his crime, yet they startled the nation during the days of the great Homestead strike of 1892. Mr. Frick was one of the managers of the steel industry when It grappled In the gigantic struggle with lis work men. Berkmann was so radical, at the other end of the scale, that he was classed as a leading anarchist. Once behind prison bars he gave up all his leisure time to study. At the beginning of his term he could read and write English anj German. Dur ing the first years of his Imprison ment he eagerly perused all books in those ;an(,uages that he could secure.. In course of time he mastered the Slavic, Polish and Hungarian lan guages and also acquired r. good gen eral knowledge of Ituilan, Spanish and French. August 11 the following northwest towns recorded the maximum temper ature indicated: Spokane, 98 degrees; Walla Walla'. 102; Lewiston, 106; Roseburg and Helena, each 94; Boise, Idaho, 102; phoenix, Ariz., 104; Poca tello, Idaho. 96; Portland, 90; North Head. 64; Seattle, 80. It does one no harm to call atten tion to the good that may be seen In others. Summer Reading If you -re thinking of going to the mountains or to the coast to eacape the heat, you will want some light reading matter. We have a complete line of paper covered books, all the leading maga zlnes, and the best of popular books of fiction. We also have the TBARD INN LIBRARY. Ask us about It. GOES IX) NATION. The famous Yosemlte valley has passed from the control of the state of California to the national go.rer.i ment. At a meeting of the si no land commission of California 'ast week It was practically agreed to make the transfer, and a preliminary to the formality all the employes In the valley were notified that their services would no longer be raulred. The legislative net cedelng the famous valley to Undo dam has re ceived the approval of the attorney general and In an opinion with which the commission has been furnished the duties of the commissioners are defined. The transfer means the curtailment of the governor's patronage. While the commissioner nre required to serve without salary, the privileges which accompany the pasitlon are al ways sought by men of wealth and leisure. Besides, there are many subordi nate places In the park which it has been the habit to parcel out to the faithful. Upon the transfer these subordinates will come under the fed eral government, but Just how many of them will be retained Is still In doubt. Captain Benson, who ts In command of the cavalry detachment now on duty at the park, will assume possession for the United States as soon as the commissioners act. The Sentinel hotel and the two camps, Curry nnd Yosemlte, are cov ered In the transfer, and some ar rangement will ' be made by the sec retary of the Interior to carry on these enterprises In the same way that the Yellowstone and other na thial parks are conducted. TO SUPPRESS DIME NOVELS. Since the murder of William Powell near Forest Grove this week by two vicious boys whose lives were turned Into the wrong channel by reading dime novels and vicious literature, a crusade for the enforcement of the law against the sale of such stuff will be started throughout Oregon. The law regulating the sale of this form of literature is as follows: Section 1933, Bellinger & Cotton's Code "If any person sells, lends, gives away, or shows, or has In his possession with the Intent to sell, or give away, or to show, or advertises or otherwise offers for loan, gift, sale, or distribution, to any minor child, any book, pamphlet, magazine, news paper or other printed paper devot ed to the publication, or principally made up of criminal news, police re ports, or accounts of criminal deeds or pictures, and stories of deeds of bloodshed, lust, or crime: or If any person exhibits upon any street or highway, or In any other place with in ihe view of any minor child, any book, magazine, newspaper, writing, paper, picture drawing, photograph, or other article or articles mentioned in the first and second sub-divisions of this section, or any of them, upon conviction shall be punished by not less than one year nor more than three years, or by a fine not less than $500 nor more than Jl,r00." ODD FELLOWS DRAW THE LINE. Odd Fellows In every part of the United States, but especially In New Jersey, are deeply Interested In the crusade which has been begun by Wesley B. Stout, grand master of the grand lodge of New Jersey, against ail saloon keepers, bartenders and gamblers who are members of the order, says a dispatch from Jersey City. The grand master has started In to drive all , such members out of the craft. This means, If carried out, the expulsion of about 3500 men In New Jersey. Stout is acting under the law passed by the sovereign lodge of Odd Fellows In 1895, but which has never heretofore been enforced. Each lodge Is given until August 20 to notify all saloon keepers, bar tenders nnd gamblers to abandon such pursuits. The failure of the men to quit such business will be fol lowed by by their dismissal from the lodge. Many saloon keepers are threatening suit against the lodges If they are expelled. The saloon element In the New Jer sey Odd Fellows has been growing so rapidly as to threaten the Interests of the order. .luck London In Scuttle. Jack London, writer, orator and K clallst, who Is to make a two years' tour of the world for the Scrlbner's Magazine, will be in Seattle in Septem ber, and will start from this pert In a 4 0-fool boat on his famous trip, 3ay the Seattle Star. In a letter to a friend In this city Mr. London stated that he would spend two days in Hi attle nnd probably lecture to the so clallst London Is best known as the author of "The Call of the Wild" and "The War of the Classes." the latter being essays on socialism. While In Seattle. London wijl be the guest of Everett Lloyd, of the Seattle Star. 1 Stoves and 1 Ranges then sOaeeseeee4essse4ss eeeeee4eee4e4e4e4ee4ee4e4e44k . 4 j Bingham THE FOPUIjAK BLUE MOUNTAIN RESORT.
