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.

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.
