The 8. V. railroad company has pub
lishcd a new map of Oregon which in
addition to ill accuracy and reliability
a a n.ap contains much valuable in
formation in regard to Oregon. The
railroad company realize that its
interest! cannot be more materially
advanced than by tlio development of
tbe country through which it lines are
run. Their Interests are In a gieat
measure identical and the development
and prosperity of the country means
more business and larger returns for
the railroad.
The Hay-Pauncelote canal treaty was
ratified Inst week in the senate by a
vote of 63 to 19, after being materially
amended. Three amendments were
adopted. Tlio first declares in plain
words that Ihs treaty supersedes and
renders void the Clayton-Itulwar treaty
which made necessary the treaty under
consideration. The second amendment
declares that all the none of the neu
trality provisions of the treaty shall
apply to measures which the United
Slates and the nislntenence of public
order. The third amendment declares
that the treaty shall be satislled by the
United States and Uroat Britain, thus
relieving other nations of responsibility
in the matter. It is asserted that the
treaty as amended is distasteful to
Great Britain and that she will reject
It. It. certainly is more acceptable to
the American people tban before it was
mended.
A sontiment is being advocated by
some of the eastern Oregon publications
for a division of our state, the eastern
Oregon people claiming unfair legislative
treatmont. The following pliant is ut
tered by tbe Pendleton Tribune: "And
what baa the eastern half of the state
got to show for its burden of taxes?
Well, it sees Furtlabd and other Western
Oregon communities arbitrarily cut down
the valuation of their taxable properly
by a score of millions to escape taxation.
Eastern Oregon gets pittance of !&,
000 or $20,000 for Its Western Normal
school. What else? A few thousand
dollars for exterminating wild animals.
What elae? Any supreme court Judges?
noi exactly, out 11 does got a deputy su
preme court clerk at salary of about
two-bits a day. What more? An In
sane asylum? Well, hardly. What
besides? Will, it you can think ol
anything else, please telephone the
Tribune, and we will print it. The
people of eastern Oregon are "restless"
under the unemial yoke tbev bear, and
unless the people of western Oregon
peimit reform of the presont obsolete
constitution, and that right soon, Ore
gon will be divided into two states at no
distant day," One of the complaints is
that the capital, Salem,ia too remote from
eastern Oregon and that western Oregon
lobbyists have things all their own
way in the legislature. It may be that
our brethren east of the I'm-,!... liw
some reason for dissatisfaction, but It
seems to us that to talk at this time ol
dividing the slate is premature and
even unpatilolic. Oregon, however, is
confronted with peculiar geographical
conditions. The Cascade range cuts the
slate squarely in two sections which
totally unlike in evory way and nothing
is more likely than that the prop's of
the two suctions may drift apart in
sympathy and sentiment as the country
differs In soil and climate.

Gslitto was visited by a heavy wind
storm one night last week. Frank Col
viir, who is employed at tb V..-U
Uulch mine sends the following de
scription 01 hit experience therewith :
"I had just about got through supper
when I heard the wind began to blow
and in few minutes the trees began to
tall. Joe Calhoun, who was nlnlmr ,-,
running down In the dark to get a light
and 1 got my lantern and lit it and e
lit out for the ditches to turn the waler
off. The wind had stopped a little but
alter we ran up the trail the wind
began to Jblow and it sounded like
thunder. He was about two hundred
yards ahead of me when the trees began
to fall in the heavy timber. I thought
I would run as fast as I could and get
ml of it, but I couldn't see anything
with the lantern. When 1 heard a tree
falling right over my head I went to run
up the trail'but t thought I would jump
behind a big fir and just ai I did a
big limb fell and just grated me and 1
storied to run up the trail again. I
hadn't got three feet when a big tree fell
across the trail and just missed me about
foot. It came so close that it almost
touched me. When that fell I thought
my life had come to an end. 1 was scared
to death and there were trees falling
every where. 1 lost my hat and didn't
Bud it till the next day and so I ran up
and turned the water otT. The ditch a
lull of big fir limbs but it didn't break.
As we weio coining back we went down
on lbs lower ditch and a big fir had fell
in the reservoir but didut hurt it and we
gut home In safety. That was the
closest I ever came to getting killed.
The gulch is full of fallen trees. It was
the funniest storm I aver saw. At Brat
a hot wind began to blow light and after
that a cold wind began to blow like
fury. I was so scared and tired from
running that I could hardly stand up
when I got to the bouse."

This Is in Good Spirit
The Oregonian recently publithed a
letter in advocacy of the division of
Oregon into two states the dividing line
to be the Cascade Mountains, it is
true that Kastern Oregon pays many
taxes to support state institutions in
Western Oregon and that the capital is
perhaps too far from most ol the people
who reside eaBt of the Cascades, but the
Journal thinks state division may nof
come for many years, if ever. The busi
ness, commercial and social interests of
of the people of the whole of Oregon are
pretty generally interwoven. Thero Is a
pride in common state history and 10
many Interests are identical that the
people of Eaalarn Oregon are scarcely
ready to set themselves ofT into an inland
commonwealth, giving up the seaboard
of the Pacific to the people of the fertile
Willamette, Hague river and Umpiiiia
valleys. The continued advance of
eastern Oregon will result In the proper
recognition by other people In our state
to the em! that unllorm progress may
be iiisde thioiighout this wonderful
stale, whose diversified natural rusourcos
are not surpassed in number, quantity
and quality by those of any other ttate
the Union La Grande Journal.

diversified farming has more friends iu
thoso regions than when he first visited
them, a few years ago. Ho considers
such localities as the I'alouse, Walla
Walla and Unmd Ronde Valley the
natural home of the dairy, and feel
ensured that the producers will finally
drill into butter a. I cheese making ns a
permanent vocation,
"Oregon farmers who contcmplato
going into the dairy business need not
fear overproduction, as it takes several
years to get a herd of dairy cows t .
ge her, and the demand for butter is
Increasing all the time. The price will
therefoie keep up no matter how in my
dairies are started.
"Tho-e who are senditm their uii'lr in

M cents a uound for their butter fat.
and they retain their skimmed milk U r
feeding purposes. This pays well for
Hie trouble and is far ahead of grain

Ashland Goes "Dry."
Ashland on Tuesday d&cideti to open
tliej.ew ceil nry by cutting saloons out
of the bil'i-ol fare for the first year. I!y
ordinance the question is settled by the
vote of the people as to whether or not
licenses should be granted to saloons
for the sale of intoxicating liquors, and
the annual election this year decided
against license by a majority of 10 votes.
There are many surmises as to what
the proprietors of saloons will do when
that day comes for closing. They will
probably makes formal application for
licenso which will mo-t likely be
refused.
Just what method of tactics the gen
tlenien propose to pursue from that
point they aro quite, likely .lot decided
upon yet themselves. As American
citizens they are still privileged to do
many things, one of which is the taking
of the proceeding into the courts and
lawing the city for awhile. Then there
is open the scheme of worrying the
councilmeu until they get so sick that
they will lock themselves up into a room
some dark night and issue license just
to get the miserable and vcxatioui ques
tion off their hands preferring the
anathemas of the community to having
their bodies worn out being bored to
death with the gratuitous advice of all
the leather-lunged rubbernecks in Christ
endom. The saloon men will still have
other tui-aris at their disposal that may
not be considered legal and as fair and
honorable as the means already eng.
nested. Hut that tlio liquor question in
Ashland is settled oilier thntl as far as
tbe new council is concerned is by no
means an ensured fact. This problem is
the most tenacious ono that human
nature has to do with and will never be
drowned or settled as long as men are com
polled to miiko a living f ir themselves
and their families nndur the swift coin
petition of tho industrial systems of the
a'e and the limes. All good citizens
will give the new administration their
bent wishes and hope that they will be
able to see the light and act in the beat
interest ol the community witli clear
intelligence and a good coimcietice.-

M. P. Ward, a Portland mining man

these mines ate already paying dividends
where stamp mills have been erected.
"All the creeks emptying intolllogue

noted for permanent ledges with well-
defined lootwalls and hanging walls, and

is one case, Mr. Ward thinks in which a

now strikingly new, bright and sub

Vuw Pttn Yean llmliand and Wife
Live In the Sam llousa Dal
Maintain Sllenes,
The cose of Lynch vs. Lynch la the
Eighth district civil court has de
veloped the remarkable fact that for
15 yenrs .Mrs. Theresa Lynch, the
"Queen of uinmonds," andl her hus
band, John Lynch, lived li their
home at 2W West Thirty-fourth
street, and never spoke to euch other.
On one recent Friday Mr. Lynch was
removed from the house to Amityville,
L. I., where ho was placed; in a pri
vate asylum. ,
Mrs. Lynch, who is reputed to be
worth several millioDs, and for near
ly half a century hns been prominent
ly identified with the aiiunondi trmte
in New York city, has been for many
years past supposed to be a widow.
Only her most intimate friends knew
of the existence of Mr. Lynch. He
lived for the most part, the life of a
recluse, never appearing nt the Union
Square store, where Mrs. Lynch still
spends most of the day behind one of
the counters.
Mrs. Lynvh'a lawyer, Maurice Meyer,
explained1 the cause of the long si
lence which existed between the wom
an and1 her aged husband1. I'p to 1SS5
Mr. Lynch was a partner with Mrs.
Lynch in the diamond business. His
conviviality threatened to dVstroy the
business, of which Mrs. Lynch was the
mainstay, and the copartnership be
tween husband nnd wife eni!d. After
that Mrs. Lynch moved farther up
town on ltroadwny and gave all her
time to the store. Mr. Lynch was
given an allowance and did im he
pleased. The four sons and daughters
were friendly with both parents, but
no reconciliation between husband
and wife was ever effected.
