WILL VOTE FOR BOVKXf:.
The East Oregmilan has no doubt
of the election of Jonathan Bourne as
United States senator on the flrt bal
lot in tbe coming session of the Ore
gon legislature. Enough of the mem
bers of the legislature have pledged
themselves to the people's choice to
Insure this result, thanks to the pro
gressive spirit of the state!
Vmat'.lla county sends two men to
the legislature absolutely bound to
upport the people's choice, no mat
ter whom that choice may fall upon.
These two men are Senator C. J.
Smith and Representative C. A. F.ar-rett-
The Kat Oregonian is proud to
point to this fact. It believes that
this sentiment is now so firmly root
ed in the minds of the voters that
hereafter no man can be elected to the
legislature f ri in Umatilla county who
does not so pledge himself.
Dr. Smith and Mr. Barrett will
tand as the pioneer ut this county
In ro.rondi:i2 to the will of the peo
jle. in senatorial elections.
of the new territory, the committee. In
order tu avoid a bitter fight, and per
haps a complete demoralization of the
new government, wisely decided that
there should be no governor, fit that
lime, but recommended that an exec
utive council, or board of governors,
should be elected to s-'rve as governor
until such time as tht settlers could
reaeeably agree upon Hie selection of
a governor. This executive council
or uoard of governors was to consist
of three men. The settlers accepted
this solution of the vexing question,
and nt that time chose Joseph Gale,
Al.inson Beers and David Hill as the
fust board of governors of Oregon ter
ritory. These men served Jointly as govor-
! nois of Oregon. They were elected In
j a putlic assemblage of the seniors
j and were accepted as the executive
! head of the newly launched territory
' by the Pacific.
! The Salem Journal must know of
I these facts. Surely it cannot be Ig
1 norant of such an important period
; of Oregon's early history,
i The Journal speaks slightingly of
j the memory of Gale. It says he
"came from nowhere and eked out a
miserable existence as a squaw man."
True, he married an Indian woman,
as, did hundreds of other pioneers of
the west, when white women were not
to be found west of the Missouri river.
This was no disgrace. His descend
ants rank well among their neighbors.
Governor Gale came from Califor
nia to Oregon territory with Hall .1.
Kellcy and Ewing Young, in 1S34, as
one of a during party of adventurers.
He built the first sailing vessel ever
built In Oregon and worked as car
penter at the Methodist mission at
Oregon City. He was an educated
New Engl.inder, a man of sterling
character and lived a long and useful
life In eastern Oregcn where his
friends are numbered oy the thousands.
The East Oregonian is justified by
historical facts in calling him "Gov
crnor" Gale.

governor- .iosepii gale.
The .-aleni Journal shows a woeful
Ignorance of Oregon history in
preaching a sermon to the East Ore
gonian for calling Joseph Gale, one
of the first governors of Oregon ter
litory. "Governor" Gale.
If one is to recognize the basic his
torical facts of Oregon's organization.
Its rescue from British domination and
consequent assimilation by the United
States, it Is necessary to go back to
the very beginning and give every per
son connected with Its unfolding gov
ernment due credit for the part taken
In that program.
The first organized effort to main
Oregon American territory was taken
at Champoeg, on May 2, 1843, when
the Americans and friendly Canadian
settlers voted by a bare majority of
two. to make Oregon a part of the
Vnitd States.
This vote was recognized as binding
and that assembly of pioneers actual
ly start-d the wheels of government
turning. There were only about 220
settlers in Oregon at that time, and
the decision of the majority to make
Oregrn Ameiican territory was ac
cepted without opposition.
This assemblage after voting to
make Oregon American territory ap
pointed a committee to draft laws
and name offices to be filled In th-i
new territory. That committee per
former its work and tin July 5, 1843
the settlers again met to hear its re
port. Its report was adopted and the
new territory was born, an organic
foundation for a constitution or gov.
ednment was crudely framed and of
ficers were elected.
As there was sharp competition be
tween the Canadian and American
settlers for the position of governor
It Is really laughable to hear the
Pendleton Tribune- urging public own
eiship of the Willamette rivor locks.
It has only been a few weeks since
the Tribune printed columns of editor
ial against publitf ownership of trans
portation faoiMtics. Has it shifted in
to the public ownership fold within
so biief a time? Welcome, welcome,
biother Goer'
Why, It really sounds like a veteran
populli-t pleading in this morning's
Tribune, for a free, open government
tuned . waterway up Willamette val
ley' Put of course the Tilbune will deny
its conversion to the public owner. -dilp
principle. It will declare that It fa
vors the pcblic ownership of the VII
lamette river locks, under an emerg
ency. The people of Willamette val
ley need relief, and therefore every
patriot must forego all party princi
ples and )tit stand for the suffering
public of Willamette valley.
flut If Is Is good for the state or thy
government to own half mile of lecks
for the use of the puhlic. In Willam
ette valley why Is it not good policy
for the state or overpment to own
thousands of miles of railroad? The
principle Is the same, the object is the
fame the relief cf the public from
what are thought to be exorbitant
rates:
After the Tribune has once taken
this advanced ground It cannot con
scientiously reefde from it, without
admitting that its telltf is not found
ed upon good faith In one or the other
position. Once a reformer, always a
reformer. The faith of progress has
no back door, no backward pathway
the only direction one may travel In
that faith Is straight ahead!
Among the railroad visitors In town
yesterday was F. A. Miller, general
passenger agent of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railroad. He vis
ited all of the general offices In town
and at the Hnllemlen hotel yesterday
told a story of one of the sleeping car
porters who was recently found asleep
while on duty. This Is contrary to
the rules of the St. Taul mad. and
the negro man was In trouble when
found by the Inspector on the Pioneer
Limited. Ho had his wits about him,
however, and In response to the In
spector's inquiry ns to what he was
doing asleep, he said:
"I'll tell you how It was. boss. I
have only been with the company a
hort time and before coming here I
was working on such and such a rail
road. The line was so rough that I
could not get any sleep. Since I have
been working for the St. Paul the
road has been so smooth that I
could not keep nwake."
Mr. Miller says that while the ne
gro violated the rules, he was per
mitted to keep his job on account of
his wit. Cleveland Lea.'.er.

Point Lomn, Cal by Mrs. Katherlne
Tingley. who, like Mary Baker O.
Eddy of the Christian Scientists, is
the supreme head of the extraordinary
group she leads.
Here Is Mr. Baker's account of the
problems they give children to solve
at Point Lima:
So many things were surprising
about this school! A elnss of children
from 4 to 6 years old. was cnlled by
the principal the little girls all In
blue frocks exactly alike, the little
boys all In sandals. Most of the faces
In this class, as In others, were plain
ly American, but there were also
Cubans. Oermans. Swedes. Bohemi
ans, and an East Indian all studying
loo-ether Some of them were the
children of rich parents very rich
parents others" were orphans or
waifs, hut all received exnetly the
same training and treatment. The
principal drilled the class before us
In mental arithmetic. The children
averaged, perhaps, B years old, hut
the problems they solve d were some
thing like this:
"Six times 3, one half, one third,
times 4 plus 3, one-fifth, times 10
plus 10 plus 10 plus 50 plus 4 4 square
root equals what?
"Every eye was fixed on the teach
er and the answer came promptly
every time, first from one child, then
from another. I suppose the answers
were correct I couldn't have solved
the problems myself!"
