What Is perhaps a permanent flow of oil has been struck on a farm In Nez Perce 'county, Idaho. For years oil experts have prospected In various parts of the Inland empire, but nave found no permanent flow of oil, until a well drill penetrated this flow yes terday. A special from Lewlston to the Or egon Dally. Journal says of the Import ant discovery: Nez Perce Is wildly excited over the discovery of an oil gusher on the E. O. Casson place, two miles from town, at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon and hundreds of people viewed the phe nomenon today and yesterday. A steady stream of oil Is pouring from a hillside and efforts are be'ng made to control the flow. All last night men worked casing up the opening so that the valuable fluid, which Is flowing at the rate of 30 gallons per minute, can be saved. Petroleum was accidentally struck while S, P. Connor was drilling a well for water. He had reached a depth of 220 feet with no sign of watet when the drill suddenly sank In a subterra nean cavity. Immediately the bitumi nous liquid began oozing from the ground and when the bit was removed it spouted forth to the height of 10 feet. This eruption continued for one hour. It then grew less forcible and finally subsided Into a steady flow. LA FOLLETTE AN ORTOR. Ills Addresses Are Fiery and Fnselnnt lng. Senator La Follette, who will lec ture at the Christian church next Monday night, April 15, is an orator of national fame. A writer In Mun sey's Magazine says of him as an or ator: Governor La Follette Is the orator. When he takes his seat, a few weeks hence, In the United States senate, the torrent of his eloquence may chill and freeze; but In Wisconsin, omong hlf farmers, he Is Irresistible, v itPays to Trade About seven years ago It was my piivlleg'J to hear him at his best. It was In the little Wisconsin town of Reedsburg, 'n a park surrounded by a double circle of farmers' bug gies and packed inside with men, wo men mid children, in holiday clothes. La Fcllette spoke from the grand stand, shaded from the sun by the branches of a tall elm. It was an anti-boss and anti-railroad speech. La Follette Is antl-somethlng-or other. To fight with words is his fond and drink. Peace and quiet are as monotonous to La Follette ns they aer to a stormy petrel. It was an afternoon in July, but ho spoke with the fire and fury of a campmeeting revivalist: One mo ment both arms were raised high above his head; the next, with both fists clenched, he rushed upon on Imaginary foe. He was vividly dramatic, yet not like a poseur. It wns a speech of In tense feeling, rather than one of re flection. Soon he was perspiring like a stoker. Off came his collar and tie, then his coat and then his vest. It was frenzied politics. The speech came In passionate scraps be tween roars of applause. Speaker and audience acted and reacted up on one another until the enthusiasm becomes almost a conflagration. TRAVELING MEN KICK. A I.l't of Grievances Presented to Railroad Commission. At the meeting of the state railway commlsrlnn at the state house yes terday afternoon a sweeping peti tion was presented by the committee reprinting the T. P. A., Pacific di vision, which. If favorably acted up on, will affect a complete revolution of the method of handling traveling men on the railroads of the north west, suva the Salem Statesman. The demands embodied In this pe tition may be summed up as follows: Issuance of Interchangeable 5000 mile books. Flnt rate of 2 cents per mile. No Rebates. No more coupon scrip books. While these reforms are perhaps radical, they as also considered rea sonable and just, Inasmuch as the very favors ncked for are and have been In vogue In the east and middle stites for' some time past. Jndd Gecr Appointed. The state executive board yester day re-appolnted C. A. Park of Sa lem, and Jndd Goer of Cove, to suc ceed themselves ns members of the state board of horticulture, says the Snlcm Statesman. There Is another vacancy on the board which Is to be filled at n subsequent meeting and for which position there are said to he two aspirants, R. H. Webber and A. H. Sechler, both of The Dalles; but thevnenncy will not be filled un til the return of State Secretary Frnnk Benson from California. These officers serve for n term of four years. DELIBERATE SUICIDE. Why It Should Exoit. Mora Horror Than Any Oth.r Murd.r. As to Its moral aspects, suicide It manifestly forbidden by the divine law. One of the commandments of the Decalogue declares, "Thou shalt not kill." To make the law as compre hensive as possible It Is not said, "Thou shalt not hill thy neighbor," which qualifying phrase Is employed In some of the other commandments as, for Instance, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against they neighbor;" "Thou shalt not coTet thy neighbor's house." The prohibition to kill Is there fore absolute. It forbids the taking of human life, whether by suicide or homicide. There Is another commandment which says, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Now, the love which we owe to our neighbor forbids us to slay him, and therefore the love which we owe to ourselves forbids us to compass our own death. If the law allowed us to kill ourselves, while for bidding us to kill our neighbor, our love for our neighbor would not be equal, but superior, to our love for our selves. Nay, I hold that suicide Is a more re volting sin than the killing of another. The closer the ties of relationship be tween the murderer and his victim the more atrocious Is the crime. In the estimation of mankind, a parricide, or matricide, or fratricide, or uxoricide. Is a more shocking criminal than an ordi nary homicide. And aS a man has more Intimate relations to himself than to a parent or brother or wife, his deliberate self destruction should ex cite more horror than the murder of a parent, brother or wife. Cardinal Gib bons In Century. BEECHER'S ONLY POEM. The Verses W.re Always Kept 8or.d by Mrs. Beecher. It was related by Mrs. nenry Ward Beecher that during their courtship Mr. Beecher once "'dropped Into poetry" and wrote a few lines of verse teeming with affection for his sweetheart. But the verses were always kept sacred by Mrs. Beecher, and nothing could win them from her. One day Mr. and Mrs. Beecher were In the office of Robert Bonner, the publisher. ,-' "Why don't you write a poem, Beech er?" said Mr. Bonner. "He did once," said Mrs. Beecher. "Recite It for me, won't you, Mrs. Beecher?" Rut the eyes of the great preacher were riveted on his wife, and she knew that he meant silence. "Come," said Mr. Bonner, "I'll give you $3,000 If you will recite that poem to me," addressing' Mrs. Beecher. "Why, It ran" quickly said Mrs. Beecher. "Eunice!" simply said Mr. Beecher. And, although Robert Bonner after ward offered to double the sum first offered, he never got the poem from Mrs. Beecher. It had been hidden away by Mrs. Beecher and cherished as one of the dearest treasures her husband left her. Persian Rugs. "Ar.tlcju rerj!a:i r"frs," said the nig salesman, "are dyed with vegetable dyes; the new ones are dyed with ani line dyes. There's a great difference. Vegetable dyes are fifty or sixty times more expensive than anilines, and they give a color thut Is literally Imperish able, a color that keeps growing richer and richer till the rug falls to pieces Anilines, made out of coal tar, look well enough at first, but they fade. When a vegetnblo rod or blue would he at Its best an aniline red or blue would be nearly white. We civilized people harmed the Chinese by Introducing our cheap opium among them, and now we have equally harmed the Persian rug by Introducing our cheap anilines among the rug weavers." Th. Hydrophobia Menace. Since hydrophobia Is transmitted by Inoculation and Its virus resides In the saliva of Its victim, the only absolute safeguard Is to keep dogs muzzled when at large. A muzzle Is a nuisance no doubt and In the Immense ma jorlty of cases needless, for almost Invariably the mischief maker Is the tray cur, belonging to no one In par ticular and coming from nobody knows where. But It seems impracticable to frame an effective regulation for the protection of the public from such Ir responsible and dangerous creature without making It applicable to all dogs. New York Tribune. Limit of Eeonomy. "I don't mind a young man econo mizing when be Is out with me," sighed the girl, "but It seems to me that when he takes you In a penny In the slot ma chine parlor, drops a penny In a slot and hands you one of the ear tilings while he takes the ether the limit baa just about been reached. Of course you can bear the opera almost as well with one ear, but how does It look?" New York Press. Charity. The lady was making some remark bout the kind of clothes some other ladies at church had on. "The finest garment a woman can wear," said ber husband, "Is the man tle of charity." Tea," she snairped, "and It's about the only one some husbands want the) wives to wear." The Fun of It. "Why did you do that?" demanded Oie teacher. "Oh, Just for fun, replied Tommy. ,;But didn't you know It was again the rules?" "Sure! Dat's where de fun come In." Philadelphia Press. All th news all th time in th Bast Oregonlan. ' T GIVE- ESTIMATES WASHINGTON COMMISSION REQUIRES FIGURES Estimates of all Roads Now In Con struction Must Be Made for the Use of (lie Commission Statistics Must Ho Complete In Detail Com mission Wants a Basis. Within 30 days the work of esti mating the cost of the railroad lines in operation within Washington will he completed, says an Olympian dis patch. Within two weeks notice Is to be served upon the railroads that a public heating will be held by the State Railroad commission to legal ly fix the valuations of the rail road lines for rate-making purposes. and a lioarlng will be set down as soon thereafter as possible. This announcement was made at Scuttle, according to the Times by Halbert P. Gillette, the New York engineer who was retained at a sal ary ot $1000 a month to estimate the dist of reproducing every line In the state. Gillette says his work Is prac tical'' completed and 'hat the rail road commission is justified In call ing its public program within two weeks. The program of the railroad com mission is to establish the cost of re producing each railroad system, and to use these figures as the basis for future rate-making. Hearings will he given and the railroads are to be permitted to Introduce testimony controverting the railroad commis sion's testimony. If the findings of the commission are unsatisfactory to the railtoads they will have the priv ilege to appeal to the courts. Must Ascertain Costs. Tt has been held frequently by the courts thut the railroads are en titled to earn a fair return upon the valuation of their property. Until this valuation Is found, the railroad commission has no basis upon which to work in ascertaining the rate that can be legally fixed In this stale. The commission must first esti mate the recenues due on account of investment and then figure In the corls of operation, maintenance and legitimate extensions, or the sinking fund that should be maintained. The last legislature authorized the commission to proceed with Its pro gram and to hold the hearings plan ned. A part of the $75,000 appro prltlon made for the commission was sot aside for the purpose of complet ing this Inquiry, which has already cost approximately $20,000. Northern Pacific officials antici pated a similar action on the part of the Interstate Commerce commis sion, and filed with the commission a statement showing the present valu ation of the railroad's property Is $330,000,000. Whether or not these figures will be Introduced on behalf "f the Washington Inquiry Is an open question. Roosevelt has appointed Ralph W. Tyler, a negro, of Columbus, O., to be auditor of the treasury of the navy department. Tyler is the man who It was announced had been considered, by the president for a federal position In Ohio, particularly that of surveyor of customs at Cincinnati. OSTEOPATH! ITS GROWTH WHY. Never has any syBtem of healing made such rapid progress as ha-, os teopathy. But 13 years ago it was practiced by but one man, the found er. Today over four thousand grad uate osteopaths are scattered over the world. When ono thinks that to be an osteopath is not merely to adopt a fd, but that It requires a long and hard course of study, much expense and hard labor, It gives a seriousness to the subject that some are not wil ling to grant. With the field of healing. abundant ly filled with medical men, and pre empted by Jealous legislation, that a new system can get a foothold, Is abundant evidence of eiflld foundation and merit. When it is seen that a large percent of these four thousand osteopaths are university nnd college graduates and teachers leaving their profession, it shows that osteopathy is not a fad of the Idle person to dote his mind on, but n profession of worth and profit In which they are casting their hopes In the struggle for ad vancement. An Investigation of the principles of osteopathy reveals the why of all this. ""Simply that Osteo pathy Is a LOGICAL AND EXPLAN ABLE SYSTEM. It depends upon none of the mysterious and hidden principles of medicine, Christian sci ence or magnetism, requires for Its acceptance none of the credulity or su perstition of medicine, nor the blind confidence In the ability of the doc tor. But based upon the plain me chanical principle, teaching that with every part of tho body in Its correct position the forces that run the body, the nerve force and blood supply will bo furnished each organ In tho prop er amount so that each will do Its part as designed; and that when some part falls to work properly Its force Is doranged by some obstruction which must be found nnd removed. Just as when a watch or other piece of machinery is out of order, some thing is obstructing the power from the mainspring to the hands. These are principles that all can see and understand. This Is why osteopathy has made such rapid progress. IS The Panama Canal is a tough proposition and a big enterprise, but our government is determined to complete the task it has undertaken. With this object in view, a large corps of army engineers, who are inured to hard ships have been sent to the scene of activity and are now busily at work.
