DUBOIS OPPORTUNITY.
Senator Fred T. Dubois of Idaho,
"whose gallant fight against Mormon
ism has given him a world wide rep
utation, may now do his country an
Inestimable sen-Ice by taking the lec
ture platform for the purpose of ex
posing the political corruption of the
Mormon element in Idaho and Utah.
Senator La Follette has given the
people of the United States a price
less education on the railroad rate
bill fight by his series of lectures. Du
bois is now confronted with the same
beckoning opportunity on the Mor
mon issue.
SACA.TAWEA NOT FORGOTTEN.
Sacajawea has not been mentioned
!r the press for some time.
But in the long silence she was not
forgotten.
The wdmen of Wyoming are now
petitioning the legislature of that state
to appropriate $500 for the purpose
of erecting a monument over the
grave of the Indian Bird Woman on
the Shoshone reservation in that state.
Oregon women raised $7000 to erect
a statue. In her memory and Wyoming
bqlng honored as her resting place,
should at least provide a rugged
shaft In her memory. Oregon women
shrould rush In a few petitions to the
session at Cheyenne, urging the ap
propriation. Or, better still, Oregon women
might petition the government to per
mit the removal of Sacajawea's re
mains from Wyoming to Portland,
where they might rest In the land
which saw ber life's greatest service In
Its full fruition.
In the railroad rate investigations
iield during the past week by the In
terstate commerce commission at
Spokane, the newspapers of Portland
hive had nothing but ridicule and
sr.ai's f r the effort of the Inland
empire to remedy the rate evil which
has curbed the Interior for the past
quarter of a century.
Portland Is to blame for the termi
nal rate which has robbed the con
sumers of the Interior of millions of
dollars In unjust and extortionate
freight tariffs since the O. R. & N.
ral'way was completed through Ore
gon and Washington.
Portland Jobbers dictated the rates
which the O. R. &. X. put Into effect.
and by that robber rate every effort
to start wholesale and Jobbing Indus
tries In eastern Oregon has been stifled.
Inland empire shippers who buy In
lit cast must pay freight to Portland
and return to the point of destination.
thus making Portland a favored point
to the detriment of every point In
the Interior.
IX THE NEW DEAL THAT HAS
BEEN" INAUGURATED IN OREGON
IT WAS HOPED THAT PORTLAND
WOULD ASSIST IN REMOVING
THF DISCRIMINATING FREIGHT
RATES WHICH HAVE THROTTLED
THE INLAND EMPIRE FOR SO
LONG.
BUT ONCE AGAIN WE ARE DIS-
AT POINTED. PORTLAND HAS
NOTHING PUT RIDICULE FOR
OUR EFFORTS.
Pendleton, Walla Walla and Spo
kane arc entitled to terminal rates.
Portland and Puget sound cities have
monopolized the commercial Interests
of the northwest so long that they
fee that they have a perpetual right
to do so.
They forget the growth of the coun
try which has released the shipper and
he consumer from their bondage.
Portland should at least assist Ir.
removing the abuses which she has so
long tostered, and should make an
effort to hold by friendship the trade
and prestige which she cannot much
longer hold by favoritism with rail
road minagers.
SENATORIAL "PREROGATIVES."
Because President Roosevelt
thought Senator Fulton was entangled
in the land frauds with other leading
politicians of Oregon, he nominated
W. C. Bristol for United States dis
trict attorney for Oregon without
recommendation from the Oregon sen
ator.
Senator Fulton has taken a vow
that Bristol shall not be appointed,
and has carried his fight to the United
States senate, where he hopes to de
feat the president's wishes.
The senatorial "prerogative" has
been touched In a tender spot
The senate committee on Judiciary
promises to turn down the appoint
ment of Bristol, simply because Sen
ator Fulton requests it. The situation
In Oregon has not entered Into the
consideration made by the Judiciary
committee, evidently.
If the senate refuses to appoint
Bristol It will only embitter the fight

cost of Living up 40 per cent
The forthcoming biennial report
of the state lahor commissioner of
Washington, will contain some valu
able information relating to the in
crease In the cost of living during re
cent years. The basis of the article
deilinj: with the subject Is found in
a series of comparative tables cover
In? the prices of a large variety, of
commodities that enter Into daily
household use.-
A decrease is shown in some com
modities but they are for the most
part such articles as dried and can
ned fruits and canned vegetables
which would hardly come under the
head of necessities.
Wheat flour, for instance, has ad
vanced 2fi per cent; graham flour. 21
per cent; corn meal, 37 per cent;
rye flour, 25 per cent; rice, 40 per
cent; oatmeal, 23 per cent; soda
crackers, 36 per cent: coffee, 26 per
cent; canned salmon, 20 per cent;
cent; canned salmon, 20 per cent;
beans. 12 per cent. Fresh and cured
meats have also shown a marked
upward tendency.
Taken as a whole the labor com
missioner's investigations of the sub
ject sustain clearly the general belief
that during the past eight years the
cost ef living in Washington has in
creased at least 40 per cent.
The association of women opposed
to the equal suffrage movement is
acting In a very narrow and non-progressive
way in placing obstacles in
the way of those who desire equal
suffrage. It Is a sort of a "dog-in-the-manger"
policy, which does not wish
to vote and will not let other women
vote. If 100 women In the state de
sire to vote, should they not be allow
ed the privilege? What right has one
woman to say what another shall or
shall not dr., In the exercise of citizen
ship? Th way should be open and
then those desiring to vote might do
so and those not so desiring would be
at liberty to stay at home.
"Only a starter" enthusiastically
remarks Councilman Joseph Ell, when
talking about paving In Pendleton.
"We will never be able to enjoy to
the fullest extent the Main and Court
street paving until we pave a few
blocks either way from those street
Wc have only made a good start. The
work of paving is still ahead of us."
And the Fast Oregonlan seconds the
motion.
WHAT IS ARTESIAN WATER?
Many persona suppose that the
name artesian, as applied to a well,
contains some allusion to the prin
ciple on which It operates, but that
Is a mistake. The name comes from
Artols, In France, anciently called
Arteslum, where the first well of this
kind was dug.
A good Illustration of how the well
operates Is furnished by the water
pipes In the upper stories of a hcuse.
The water will rise In these pipes to
the level of the reservoir from which
the water comes.
In some localities there are per-
here and raise more formidable ob-Vous strata lying between Impervl-
stacles to the prosecution of the guilty I ous beds, and the water percolates

FUEL MADE FROM PEAT.
A company known as the Anthra
cite Peat Fuel company has pur
chased 62 acres . of the richest peat
land situated In Orange county, two
and a half miles north of Huntington
Beach, and has installed an up-to-date
peat fuel plant, says the Los Angeles
Times.
The company has been Incorporated
for the purpose of manufacturing and
selling In California an Improved
composition peat fuel, and has ac
quired the sole right to use In the
state the carpenter patent, which
covers the latest and most approved
process, by which the ordinary peat
soil Is readily and economically con
verted Into a high-grade commercial
fuel.
This process consists of the com
bining of certain inexpensive chem
icals In fixed proportions with a nat
ural peat soli, forming the same into
convenient shape for handling and
use. The process is a result of many
years' application and experiments by
practical men, whp have had for their
object the Invention of a substitute
for coal, which would be equal In
heating power to the best coal, at the
same time having the distinction of
producing no smoke, soot, or gas, and
being entirely free from clinkers and
other waste material. In other words,
supplying an Ideal fuel, and at a coBt
less than coal or any other acceptable
fuel now In general use.
