PEXDETOX SAVED MONEY.
There was perhaps more method
than madness in the action of the
Pendleton city council which a few
years ago imposed such a high li
cense on a big circus that the entire
circus trust has been so deeply of.
fended since then that none of their
shows have stopped here. And Pen
dleton has perhaps saved thousands
of dollars by this action of the coun
cil. The Post Falls Advance clearly
states the situation in the following
editorial on the circus at Spokane:
There are said to be tlg rakeoffs
In Insurance frauds, railroad rebates
and political centers, but about the
nicest rake-off announced this season
U from Spokane, where Barnuiu's
show just showed what it could do
last Friday.
The attendance Is said to have beer
so great the immense tent could not
accommodate the crowd, and many
were turned away. The people seem
ed to be wild with eagerness to "see
the elephant." fearing, doubtless, "it"
would escape to the hills and a grand
opportunity lost.
Twenty thousand dollars Is said to
have been carted out of the people's
pockets and out of the country on
Barnum's special train, and at last
reports "the elephant" survived the
test.
Twenty thousand dollars to see a
circus! Were the same contributors
exiled upon to make the same dona
tion for good roads, a public library',
additional enducational facilities, or
for missionary work In the rural dis
tricts of their own country, it is saf
to say the amount would not be rais
ed: Twenty thousand dollars! That was
the boast of the show people. Times
are close, the panic is still on and al
ways will be as long as old Jumbo is
carted around on wheels, for people
like to ho humbugged.
WEST'S GOOD WORK.
OrwaM West, formerly land agent
for the state of Oregon and now ably
Mllr.g a place on the Oregon railroad
commission, is delivering a number of
addresses this week in western Oregon
on the curse of the land grants of
Oregon.
He shows by actual figures and
statlfks that an area larger than the
entire Willamette valley is now held
in central, western and eastern Ore
gon by alien corporations under grants
of one kind and another from the
government.
In order to dodge taxes on these !m.
mense holdings the shrewd corpora
tions have delayed securing .patents to
much of this land for 25 years.
Where taxes have finally been paid,
but a fraction- of the amount actually
due on these valuable holdings has
bren paid.
And all the time, the hard working
farmers and merchants and mechan
ic of Oregon have been laboring long
hours, paying heavy taxes and sup
porting the burden of state govern
ment. Wlil the sensible and patient peaple
of Oregon allow this thing to go on?
Will another election pass without a
law t.ixlng these land hoKliiiKs until
they are cither surrendered to tho
government or put Into use?
LIVING ADVERTISEMENTS.
If the citiis of the north und east
ns well as tho cities of Europe do
not hi come aiMiualnted with the beau
tiful Rills of the south and west, it
will not be the fault of the enterpris
ing newspaper publishers. I
It has become quite the fashion to
send bevies of fair representatives to
all parts of the world. The selections
are made by voting contests, usually
based upon popularity. Judging from,
thos we have seen, popular girls of
the south and west are very attrac
tive. Others who have seen them
think the same way.
Just now Governor Haskell's Okla
homa New State Tribune Is represent
ed by n number of young ladies who
are doing New York and the east.
Last week 14 young women returned
from Europe, where they had been
as representatives of the Indianapo
lis Star. These trips are good adver
tising propositions. The voting von
tests themselves are good locally be
cause they attract attention and In
terest of the readers.
Every girls who Is selected carries
with her the Interest of all her
friends. , The expedition from the time
it starts until It returns attracts at
tention and favorable newspaper com
ment. Such, comment also carries
the name of the paper which Is be
hind the expeflition.
Th trips are beneficial to those
who g" because they see a great many
things that are of benefit to them,
and even after they return tho name
of the paper receives further men
tion In the discussion of their travels.
And these girls are pretty keen ob
servers. They seem to know what
pleases them "and how to tell about
it.
For instance. Miss Emma Wood of
Mitchell. Ind.. on her return from
Europe yas asked what she liked best
and replied promptly:
"If you ask me what countries I
liked the best, I shall say Scotland
and Switzerland for their magnifi
cent scenery. The Trossachs were
beautiful and the Alps grand. We
were treated well everywhere, and
we had a few amusing experiences,
but nothing serious occurred to mar
the trip.
"I liked . London and Paris im
mensely, but for a great city give me
New York. It Is best of all. In
Paris I did not see all of the sights,
as some members of our party did;
but, after all, I don't believe that city
is any gayer than New York."
KEEP CREDIT LINES TIGHT.
The "financial stringency" of last
autumn caused many merchants to
tighten up their credit lines, says the
Spokane Chronicle. Keep them
tight.
Even now It Is entirely too easy to
get Into debt In Spokane. Hundreds
of people In every ward In town dur
ing the last month have purchased
articles they did not need and could
not afford simply because they could
get credit. The "pay as you please"
habit Is bad for the individual bad
for the community often bad for
the dealer who encourages people to
go In debt, so that he may gain a cus
tomer. Hold the credit lines tighter for
everybody's good.
IS IT KIGIIT Oil WKON'G?
The irK'onslsteni'S of the male
sex that governs the country are of
ten truly Illuminating.
A little while ago a woman In Chi
cago was arrested and fined for wear
ing trousers while she was earning
an honest living as a had carrier In
which useful service she found bi
furcated garments most convenient
On the other hand, there is a new
ruling in the general department re
lating to mall carriers In which it is
held that when women are employed
In that capacity they must wear trou
sers. Such arbitrary decisions In both In
stances, upon sober thinking, are un
just and unreasonable.
Royal names for hotels are some
times the cause of peculiar misunder
standings. An aged farmer from the
home county decided to make a visit
to Toronto. It was the first time he
had been at a city Btatlon and when
a hotel crier hurried to him with the
interrogation, "King Edward?" the
newcomer simply smiled as he an
swered: "Xo, sir Thomas Cox of Er
amusa." Rut what hurts the poor public
most about that $29,000,000 fine
which was not permitted to stand is
the fact that the Standard had al
ready collected It from the people,
and now has just that much "velvet."

HARVEST TIME IN FRANCE
In France they get tho hay In the"
last week In June. And that Is a
brave s!k1h. when tho men with tho
siythes go out at dawn, followed by
the old men and the girl who toss
the hay. There are good moments,
too, at tl o'clock In the morning, for
Instance, a great deal of work iil
ready done, the breakfast comes,
from the farmhouse. "
By the hedge, or under t'.ie shade
ti the oak. Pierre and hi nu n drink
the smoking hot milk and eat the yel
low fritters and the gloat pancakes.
Then the work goes on again until
noon, when they all troop home for
dinner.
Anil this U a meal of Importance
snip and pork, or a haunch of mutton
anil the fruits of the season cherries
or gooseberries or strawberries; and
they loiter over the meal in the great
low, cool kitchen. Each iwnf drinks
.if the good red wine th.i gives force
and joy.
At 1 o'clock, with the scythes new
aet, they go to the fields again. There
1 another respite In the day. At
half past 4 a little lunch Is brought to
the haymakers 'salad, usually, cream
cheese and cold milk.
Thereafter, until 9 o'clock when
the shadows fall, there Is no pause In
the steady swing of the scythes; It Is
a day of seventeen hours, of which
fifteen and a half at least have been
work hours. The home coming Is
slow and weary, without songs.

STANDING ROOM ONLY.
Mark Twain In his lecturing days,
reached a small eastern town ope
afternoon, and went to a barber's to
be shaved.
"You are a stranger In the town,
sir?" the barber asked.
"Yes, I'm a stranger here," was
the reply.
"We're having a good lecture here
tonight, fir." said the barber. "A
Mark Twain lecture. Are you going
t. It?"
"Yes, I think I will." said Mr.
Clemens.
"Then, sir. you'll have to stand."
"Dear me:" Mr. Clemens exclaimed
"It seems as if I always do, have to
stand when I hear that man Twain
lecture."
INTO REST.
Soft as the sobbing of the wave.
Against the still short fretting;
So gently falls the kiss of peace'
on bruised hearts, forgetting.
As gently comes the ripping tide,
Tile low, sweet, mellow calling
Of homing boats to quiet bay.
And sheltering shadows falling.
As gently comes, as tenderly,
At quiet, holy even,
Th passing of the tired heart
Into the peace of heaven.
W. A. D. In Nashville Fanner.
WORLD WILL NEED STRXEGTH
The world will no longer have time
to fight, but will need all Its strength
and brain to earn a living Useful
discoveries will then bind the world
together by ties of economic Interde
pendeney. and the future will belong
to the people who best understand how
to apply the great principles of Intel
lectual, moral and economic decelop
ment. France already has proved herself
a nation that owes the rank which
she holds not to brutal force, but to
her Ideas. Nicholas Murray Butler.

Women Who Wear WelL
It Is astonishing how great a changn a
few years of married life often muko In
the appearance and disposition of many
women, Tha freshness, tho charm, the
brilliance) vanish like, tho bloom from a
peach which Is rudely handled. Tho
matron Is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, Ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
tho shock to tho system through tho
change which comes with marrlago and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
rlago and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain Is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and tho form of Its
fairness.

SILVElt OUTLOOK
Silver now is lower than at any
other lime since April, 1903, for about
the only demand for silver at present
Is from Indian bazaars, .for even
the Indian mints have ceased buying
the white metal since last year's crop
failure. The banks of China have
been going short of silver, selling on
exchange, and the market may stiffen
when they have to meet deliveries.
Crop conditions In India are better
this year than last, ami Germany may
resume the coinage of silver, so that
the future of the market is by no
means gloomy, though no immediate
change Is expested. Spokane Chronicle
