W ord has ju st been received by way o f Brussels that on April 21, 1908, the North Pole was reached by the American explorer, Dr. Frederick A. Cook. Let the eagle scream. Hardening o f the spinal column la said to be Harriman’a ailment, but the isolated settlers o f Southeastern Oregon are o f the opinion that he has had this trouble for many years. The bachelor in his reflections who said, “ There are precious few o f us who would’nt rather do a little thing and be praised for it than a big thing and not b e ," knew well the frailties o f human nature. We may as well all plead guilty. It is a safe suggestion that little thing like inclement weath er will not prevent a large church attendance on the Sunday Presi dent T aft is to spend in Portland. He has consented to lay the com er stone o f the new First Universalist Church on that day. A boy was fined $60 in Eugdne last Monday for killing a turtle dove, in violation o f the state law. There is great temptation to a boy who has a gun to want to be shooting at every live thing he sees and nothing * short o f severe fines will serVe to protect the birds from wanton slaughter. The Japanese o f the Pacific Coast have raised a subscription o f $20,000 fo r the purpose o f making Japanese day, Saturday o f this week at the A . Y . P ., the largest celebration o f an Oriental people ever held in the United States. The little brown men take great delight in showing to the w orld what they are doing as a people, and they do not hesi tate in the expenditure o f money to do i t Those who desire to see the latest up-to-date death dealing machines in action, will most ' surely be rewarded by attending one o f the many automobile races that are being pulled off in d if ferent parts o f the country.. The godevils hardly ever miss fire and quite often they make a pot shot and get two or more victims at a time. Great sport fo r men, women and children who want som ething a little bit exciting, and the loss o f a few lives don’ t count for much. A common excuse given for auto accidents is that the brakes failed to work, but a long suffer ing public has come to believe that in nearly every instance the trouble is in the head o f the reckless driver. Proper regard fo r the, rights o f others would prevent a very large per cent o f the auto casualties, and as time goes on it will be found neces sary to enforce more stringent measures to compel foolhardy auto fiends to so govern their actions. In fact such a course is already over due, fo r every body will admit that in this mat ter at least, delays are danger ous. From here and there comes reports o f attempts to nullify the provisions o f the* Local Option law through various tecnicalities, and in some instances the saloon Interests are successful, but this need not give the temperance forces any great alarm, for such action will only serve to make votes in the com ing state wide prohibition campaign. The first tim e Yamhill county was voted dry the saloon men won out on a tecnicafity, but this only served to arouse the voters and the ma» jority fo r J i dry county was greatly increased at the next election. The saloon interests are hard fighters but it takes them a long time to learn what a boomerang is. In the town o f Cawker in Massachusetts the W o m a n 's Debating Society discussed the question “ Who may rightly he said to be the greatest woman in h istory." The answer that was awarded the prise was this: “ The w ife o f a man o f moderate means, who does her own cook ing, washing and ironing, brings up a fam ily o f girls and boys to be useful members o f society, and finds time fo r her own intel lectual and moral improvement is the greatest woman in all histo r y ." And who will say the award was not properly made and that the statement embodied in these few lines is not as true as gospel? N. C. Christenson, Cashier L. Q. Knee#haw, Aast Cashier J. D.

Baker as an ora tor w ho? was second to noner but it will tie news no doubt to a large number o f others to be told that Oregon was for a short period represented in the senate o f the United States by one o f the most brilliant and forceful platform speakers o f that eventful period just before the civil war. Soon after the delivery o f the great speech spoken o f below in a clipping from Goodwin’s W eek ly, he was killed in a battle at Balls Bluff, and Oregon and the nation suffered the loss o f one o f the brainest men o f that day, and one who was deeply mourned by President Lincoln, they being close personal friends. The W eekly says o f Baker He was a wonderful orator; he could sway audiences even as a master musician touches the keys and stops o f an organ, and yet . _ he seemed greater than anything he said until he was elected senator, and then made m ajor general in the army, and after having been out one morn ing drilling his regim ent, he went at noon to the senate, went into a cloak room, dropped upon a lounge, still dressed in his full uniform, and fell asleep. Charles Sumner, at that tim e was jeal ous o f any.new man who seemed to have a reputation as a speaker and as a statesman, and he had been beard to say that while Baker could prepare a speech and deliver it with wonderful po iwer, he would probably fail in the senate when called upon sudden ly to speak on some high theme. Mr. Breckenridge on that day made his speech giving his rea sons fo r resigning his place in the senate ana going home to his native state To help the southern Confederacy. It was" a prepared speech, as classic as it was bitter, and as the speaker progressed the question among the republi can senators was, who would answer. A t last the name o f Baker was mentioned, and a couple o f gentlemen went to the cloak room, woke him up, told him Breckenridge was making a most impressive and terrific speech, and asked him if he would reply. He said he would. He walked into the senate cham ber, still in his uniform, with his sword at his side and heard the last fifteen minutes o f Brecken- ridge’s speech, in which he summed up the substance o f what he had said and gave the reasons for what he proposed to do. When he ceased, Baker took the floor and then for an hour he held that senate spellbound, and when he finally came to the sneering question o f Brecken ridge, which in substance was, where will you get vour soldiers to invade and wreck the souti Baker repeated his words then said it was easy, it would only be necessary to stamp one’s foot and call upon those who were willing to die for their country, to nave myriads spring as it were from the ground in- the Republic’ s defense. When he stamped his foot the scabbord o f his sword rang on the marble floor, and such a thrill went through the hearts o f the sen ators as they never felt before. Slow er Tl/asher.
