your
Graham GLA6S is reported by a
Washington correspondent to be
acting in the capacity of clerk to
Senator Simon, at $100 per month.
This is a good job for Mr. Glass-
No doubt he appreciates much the
honor of the position, as well as
the salary.
Secretary Alger's annual re
port is a very interesting docu
ment, embracing, as it does,
brief, but comprehensive sketch of
the conduct of the war, with copies
of all official orders relating to the
army, etc. A careful study of it
will remove the last vestige of
foundation for moat of the stories
attacking the management of the
war department. For instance,
the official figures of the wounded
were not properly cared for. There
were 140 surgeons with General
Shafter's army. The total number
of wounded was 1,431, of whom
only 13 died of their wounds, a
percentage as remarkable in the
history of war as some of the more
talked about achievements of the
war.
EARLY MOKM.NO BLAZE.
AGAIN VICTOKIODS.
President McKinley's annual
message to congreps is a thorough
ly patriotic document from start to
finish. There is not a word of
partisanship in it. The message
will not only be read with interest,
but it will be carefully preserved,
as it is an authentic, condensed
history of the events leading to
the war with Spain, of the war,
and of the results of the war, so
far aa they are known at this time.
It is, in itself alone, sufficient to
place President McKinley in the
very front ranks of American
statesmen, if he had not already
attained that position. It is neces
sarily long, but contains no plati
tudes, no striving after effect nor
bids for popular favor. It is a
plain statement of some of the
most important events in the
country's history, made by a man
whose patriotism has been proven
by trials such as few men have
gone through. It ought to be read
iu every school house in the land
and studied as a lesson in current
American history, written by a
maker of that history. Even the
most partisan democracts find
nothing in it to object to, which is
something decidedly unusual iu
Presidents' mesHages.

The eerioaa features of enlistment in
tbe fire brigade were f iperienoed by the
new reornits Monday morniog just be
fore 7 o'clock, when tbe ringing of tbe
fire bell rooted them from their warm
beds, and compelled tbem to rash half
clad for tbe fire apparatus, which was
nufortanately coated with ioa from Its
oold service a few daya sinoe. Those
who did respond spared no eff jrts and
on reaching tbe oorner found tbe rafters
adjoining tbe floe ablaze. Owing to tbe
ice and rust ot tbe connection boee cart
No. 1 was abandoned, and No. 2 was
brought into aotion in time to extin
guish the tire before it had gained head
way. Tbe water proved disastrous to
tbe newly papered ceiling, but "Mr.
Roberts accepted the damage with good
graoe, realizing his good fortune in Dot
having his house go up in smoke, con
sidering the conditions with whiob tbe
Ore department bad to contend. Wbile
tbe department is yet young and inex
perienced, the business men realized its
importacoe, and its first two fires have
been most fortunate in affording them
an opportunity to make provision against
snob obstaoles as tbey have met with.
Chief Frank Natter is proving himself
tbe man for tbe place, and gets a will
iog response from his subordinates,
whose ooDfideooe be is fortunate in
seouring.
Jess Sbel'ey while assisting in reeling
out tbe hose, unfortunately caught his
fingers Id tbe miming geer ond bad tbe
end ot one of tbem almost severed. Be
took bis punishment like a veteran fire
man, giving it but little heed until bia
servioes were Dot required. Dr. Mo
Sword will hava him in shape for tbe
next fire.
Now that tbe fatal "third" is next in
store, it behooves tbe boys to exert their
vigilance and have their apparatus in
perfeot trim. The fire plugs should be
oarefully tested sod precaution taken
against a ''freeze op." Tbe water sup
ply Bbouid be looked alter, and we
might suggest tbe imf ortaDoe of Bab
oook extinguishers, as in oases ot an
inoipient blaza muob damage could be
saved, tbe cossequence of a deluge o
water.
Alvak W. Pktterma Agaia Wist the Colaa
biaa Law lialvtnilty Debate.
Saturday morning's Oregonian con
tains double-column portrait of Alvab
W. Patterson, with the following an
Douooement from Washington, D. 0,
under date of Deoember 4th :
"A. W. Patterson, of Oregon, well
known iu newspaper and political oi roles
of tbat state, and at present olerk of the
house committee cn irrigation of arid
lands, and a leading student at tbe
Columbian law university, of this city,
was awarded first plaoe in the opening
publio debate of tbat university
last Saturday evening. His strong plea
for territorial expansion, the question
order discussion, was the subjeot of
favorable oommect in tbe anoounoe
ment of tbe decision ot tbe judges, one
oi wnotn was J nation Harlan, of tbe su
preme court. Mr. Patterson woo tbe
first plaoe in tbe seoond publio contest
ot last year, also wiomog tbe prize de
b ite at the close of the year, wbiob was
0"tnposed ot those who bud won in the
six public contests. This victory will
again entitle him to participate in the
university's annual prize event."
The above nffords Alvah's friends
in Heppner considerable satisfaction,
from tbe fact tbat these vic
tories, succeeding eaon other, in
in competition with tbe best educated
and brightest intellects of our land, in
its leading law college, places Alvab
first in the minds of tbe legal fraternity
ot. America as its "rising star." This
honor seems remarkable, from the faot
that Alvab ha? grown to manhood bere
in Henpner, where the natural con
ditione of tbe oonntry with its "wild
and wooly" western phases, has not
beo oondocive to tbe development of
the talent of whioh he has proven him
self master.
Tbe "blue bloods," fostered nnder oon
ditions of eastern wealth, refinement and
oolleglate training muflt feel some de
gree ot humiliation ia their defeat.
From the fact that opportunities were
not euoh iu Heppner that Alvah's talent
could be given full sway, but few of his
many friends oan appreciate tbe impor
tance of bis "laurels." However, all feel
a keen satisfaction in having a Morrow
county boy in the lead, and are united in
their desire that be shall be there at tbe
floish.
HK8ULT OF THE COLD SNAP.
Mack Frost" Upsetting Calculations on All
Corners
Tbe pnst two weeks' oold snap bus
wrought hnvoo with tbe water pipes,
many having burst, necessitating aotive
vigilance on the part ot the water com
pany, as it is imperative that they
keep in reserve sufficient water to meet
an emergency of fire. Their electric
light system defies the elements, while
reports come (ruin numerous points that
the aoetylene plants have succumbed
lo the frost, which verifies their argu
ments tbat eleotrioity is at the present
date the most reliable and satisfactory
lighting medium reoognized by tbe
practical scientists of tbe oonntry, hack
ed up by onpital. From wear, accidents,
etc., temporary derangement is uoavoid
able, and to riHrt these oootingencies
tbe company have a number of efficient
men here for the pnrpnse of responding

necessary for complete cirouit is made
at once and at their expeuse. Their
business and oapital is at stake, and the
business community have a right to ex
peot the best possible results, from a
business standpoint, whioh tbey also
appreciate and endeavor to furnish to the

carefully investigate tbene new medi
