A STATE ON TRIAL.
From Philadelphia North American,
(Re?.)
In the distant state of Oregon r
contest is In progress of far mor:
than local signi:lcanee. A systema'
ic and persistent effort is bein-r
made to bring about a breach of faith
with the people, which would sha:m
and discredit the Republican parti
uot only in Oregon, but throughou:
the country.
By legislation, approved by populai
vote, that state alopted a plan whirl
virtually provlde3 for the direct elec
tion of United Stite3 senators. B
that arrangement, candidates for tlx
Legislature gave their pledges tr
vote for the ssnatorlal candidate
who receives the greatest numbe
of popular vote3 at the polls.
The people of Orgeoa have bear
heart and bojI In favor of progress
lve Republicanism and the policies o!
Roosevelt and Ta:t.
But the Republican party In tlu
stpte has been dominated by a cor
rupt, unscrupulous, reactionary ma
chine. There have been few more o
fenslve recent examples of mlsrepre
sentation than was offered in the
course of Senator Fulton, tralninf
continually with the Aldrlch-Cannoi
clique In congress.
He paid the prle when he wai
beaten by the leader of anothe'
faction in the party primary. Bu'
the peiple of Oregon Btlll ware
not satisfied. They looked beyonc
faction and beyond party to find t
man they could wholly trust.
It is a Republl;an Btate. It vote;
overwhelmingly for Tuft. It e'.oetei
a Republican legislature. But it elect
ed th03e legislators bound In solemi
obligation to chome as saiator i
Democrat George E. Chamberlain
the choice of the people for that of
flee as he had beju made then
choice for governor by Republican
ring.
The duty of e ery Republican log
Islator so plo.lged is plain. A?
honest men like Bourne point out.
the Republican Is a traitor to hiH
party who fails, in this Instance to
vote for a Democrat.
Yet the strongest posslblo pressure
la being brought to bear upon those
legislators to perpetrate the treacher)
of supporting a leader of the machine
the criminally absurd reasoning be
Ing that because the people supported
Taft and defeated the men who had
fought all that Taft advocates and
represents, one of thosa enemies
should be returned to the Senate in
stead of the man expressly chosen bj
the popular vote.
For a word of protest against the
prostitution of Republicanism by a
gang to go to any other state from
Pennsylvania may seem too much like
Milan rebuking sin. But It Is fall
warning to the men of Oregon that
they would do even greater dlshonoi
to the party by defeating Chamber
lain than would be wrought by the
re-election of a Penrose.
Cured of a Severs Attack of Bron
chitis by Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.
"On October 18th, last, my little
three year old daughter contract ei
a severe cold which resulted In a
bad case of bronchitis,'' says Mrs
W. G. Gibson, Lexington, Ky. "She
lost the power of spojeh com
pletely and was a Very sick child.
Fortunately we had a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the
house and gave it to her according
to the printed directions. On the
second day she wa a great deal
better, and on the fifth day, Octo
ber 23rd she was entirely well of
her cold and bronchitis, which I at
tribute to this splendid medicine.
I recommend Chamberlain's Cough
Rp-nedy unreservedly as I hive
found it the surest, safest and
juiciest cure for colds, both for
children and adu.ti, of any I havs
sver used." For sale by Durnaug'a

GROUSE CORRESPONDENT
MAIL FROM ANATONE.
BY
Grouse, Dae. 31. Quite a number
of citizens of this section visited the
postoffice here Saturday, the 2Gth, al
so Tuesday, the 29th, expecting to
get their mail, but all were disap
pointed and some of them couldn't
assign any reason why the mall
did not arrive except the carrier
reserved the "rite of holy days."
fhere has been more failures of the
mail during the last 12 months than
ihere were in 10 years all together
prior to this year. In the winter the
axcuse i3 that t'le farry is frozen
ast in the ice, end ia the spring of
the year du.i.ig high water the ex
cuse Is tlia. the ferry is not safe and
.labia to go down at any time; and
j aie people ara disappointed.
The next plan of the paople will
e to petition the postoffice depart
ment to discontinue the route from
lora and extend the route from An
atone. Wash., by Hanso.i Ferry on to
j ise. This country never will,
.leither can be properly developed til!
we can have better roads and a
bridge across the Grande Ronde rlv
ar. This Is one of the most produc
tlve sections of Wallowa county en
tirely hemmed In by th8 Blue moun
tains on the north, the river can
yon on the south, also by deep can
yons on the east and west. Asotin.
Wash., ha3 paid $8000 to build a road
to this country, but it i3 blocked
with snow five months each year.
Now our Flora friends have installed
8 flour mill which will be of vital In
terest to all the people of the north
end of the county, and In a few years
the people west of the river will pay
enough toll to the ferryman to build
bridge. ' Besidej one risks his life
every time he crosses the river while
the water is high.
We must have a bridge and better
iiu's or leave the. country.
We had an en'oyable Christmas
Everyone saemed well pleased a

CHINA SITUATION BAD
Attaches of the Foreign Legations
Fear a Crisis.
Pekin, Jan. 3. Following the dis
missal from office yesterday of Yuan
Shi Kal, grand counsellor and commander-in-chief
of the forces, and
the appointment of Na Tung, an edict
was issued today appointing Liang
Tung Yen, customs taotai, to the po
sition made vacant on the foreign
board by the advancement of Na
Tung.
The representatives of Great Brit
ain, the Unlnted States and Germany
view the regent's action as tanta
mount to an affront to the powers,
on account of Yuan Shi Kai's posi
i
tion abroad. The dismissed counsel
lor has long been recognized as the
medium cf fair and equitable treat
ment toward the nations. Japan con
curs in the opinion that the dismissal
is certain to result in international
Injury, but that representations to
China would be difficult.
The court's action a fortnight ago
in increasing the palace troops and
forbidding the entrance to the pal
ace, even of the highest officials,
without passes, was taken as nn In
dication at that time of the alarm
felt in court circles, and It Is now
believed that there was fear also of
an antl-dynastic plot.
STANDARD OIL CO. WINS
Uncle Sum's Petition for Writ of Cer
tiorari Kt fused.
Washington, Jan. 4. The $29,
000,000 fine case of the Standard
Oil Company will not be reviewed by
the supreme court of the United
States.
The decision of the court, to this
effect was announced by Chief Jus
tice Fuller soon after the court ad
journed today. The case came to the
court on a petition filed by the gov
ernment asking the court in a ps
tltion for a writ of certiorari to or
der up the record in the case for a
review of the decision of the United
States court, by which Judge Landis'
original decision imposing a fine of
$29,0.00,000 against the Standard Oil
Company for accepting rebates from
the railway companies was reversed.
BURBAXK SUCCEEDS WITH
THE THOIIXLESS CACTUS
Los Angeles, Jan. 4. The official
reports on the first Summer's field
cultivation of the Burbank thornles
cactus were issued Saturday by .the
Western Empire, an agricultural
journal which has had charge of ex
tensive experiments op the new for
age plant.
The largest tests were nude upon
the hardy thornless varieties, which
Luther Burbank collected from all
parts of the world, and of these va
rieties large quantities will be dis
tributed this year to those who will
make experimental tests with them.
The report concludes that thorn
less varieties have to be fenced to
protect them from rabbits. The uses
as a fodder for the family cow and
for poultry upon the small tracts
where psonal attention is given
seem to have been fully established.
CHINESE I5EAT JAPANESE IN
FOOTBALL GAME, 10 TO 0
Oakland, Cal., Jan. 4. In Jin ex

the first to have been held In tha
history of the game between the Jap
anese and Chinese, the Imperials, a
picked Celestial eleven and all na
tive sons, defeated the Fujis by a
score of 10 to 0.
The oddness of the affair created
a stir in sportdom. Both teams
showed an intimate acquaintance
with the American game and put up
a good exhibition, considering the
sloppy condition of the gridiron. The
signals were in English. Many Chi
nese girls and boys were on hand
and took a keen delight in the con
test. ATLANTIC FLEET AT SUEZ
