Turkey baa refused to rsfnnd to the
United States tbs ransom of 172,600
paid to the brigands lor tbs release of
Miss Htone. It is not;liksly tbst Uncle
8am will resort to; force; to collect the
amount. The Turkish government
disclaims responsibility in ths matter
and it would be difficult '.to fasten tbs
debt on Turkey In any satisfactory man

Tbs result of the primary election in
Portland is interpreted as a crashing de
test for Joe Bitnon and to indicate that
his chances for succeeding himself In
the United Mates senate are not of the
best. His "machine" is ssid to be bad
ly smashed. The Tor.land delegates
will support Corbett for governor.
Gssr'i support will be strong and ap
pearances are favorable for a second
term,
Prince Henry has taken bis departure
for Merman; after one ( tbe gsyesl
liuin " - -
visitor to tbls country. The behavior
of tbe prince while bars was such as to
gain bim tbe warm frisndsblp of those
with whom bs came in contact. His
visit bas not failed of itseipectsd result
and the sentiments and sympathies ol
two great nations bsvs been brought In
to closer touch by Us mesns.
All voters should make It Ibslr busl

Judgment to put off this important
matter until the last mlnsle, when It Is
very likely to be Inconvenient or even
Impossible to attend to It. l'lenty of

W. J. Winter of Waldo, baa received a
letter from Senator Mitchell, written In
respond to an Inquiry, stating tbat be,
tbs senator, was sarnsstly In favor ol
as amendment providing lor tbs election
of United States ssnatora by direct vole
ol tbe people. Early In tbs present
session, Mr. Mitchell Introduced a Jolut
resolution to this effect which was rssd
twics and referred to ths committee on
elections and privileges. Not svsry
senator will support this measure, for
seme of them feel tbat their cbancss in
an election of this sort would bs small.
Tbe cigarette evil Is ousof tremendous
proportions. It Is alarming to obasrvs
ths nambsr of boys and young wen who
are slaves to this habit. Not every one
who smokes cigarettes is a cigarstts
Send, yet tbe practice ssriously impairs
tbs mental and physical baaltb of all
who Indulge in It. Tbe true cigarette
fiend Is one of tbe most pitiable speci
mens ol humanity en tbe lace of the
earth and is utterly useless and worth
less. Many youug boys are now in
training to become cigarette fleujs a
little later in life.

Rush ol Immigration.
The spring rush ol settlers, under the
stimulus of I lie cheap rates that went
into etfei't March 1st in Ilia Fast, has
retched the Coast. Iletween 46 aud 60
extra railway coaches bearing passengers
who came West on sotllera' tickets have
eouie into Oregon end Washington
Nearly all silted out at the various
Stations in Oregon and Washinetou tul
of i'orlland, sillier to locate or ou slop
Over privileges to examine the country
Between 60 snd 76 settlers hsve slready
gjue to points on ths Southern Pacific-
lines south of Portland. There are two
months of cheap (ares lor people coming
West, so ths immigrants be no need
to hurry, aud this early movement is
taken as ao Indication that tbs attempt
to get settlers into lbs Pacific North
vest will prove a great success this year.
Tbe promise is for a gn-aler movement
than ever before. The fact thai com
paratlvely lew of them go through to
Perllaod tndicates simply that the
Columbia Valley to the eastward is
absorbing tbe settlers. But there is
abundant evidence that Western Oregon
is receiving attention, and probably
ouuuiooiMu sewers will go to points
of Portland in tbs cumins two

Liveet Town In the Valley.
Grants Pass is another of tbe relatively
new towns of Southern Oreuon new in
tbs sense that it cams in with the rail
road. It baa a population of about 3000,
and it Is la msny rsspects ths most
active plane In the Kogus Kiver country.
Mining la ths main soun.e of its life, and
gives Ibe lone to its life. It has an im
portant resource in its adjacent pine
forests, and draws a considerable direct
support from tie operations of the
8ugar Pine Lumber Company, whose
mill and box factories make lbs larxeet
single business In tbe town. Agricul
ture and horticulture have, loo, their
share in tbe make up of tbe business
life of Grants rasa, but, after all it said
and done, the main resouices of
business is ths mineral which abounds
in lb mountain sides and tbe creek
beds of Josephine County. It would be
inttresting to make a detailed study of
this really great mining district, and
this was my Intention, but I find it im
possible, owning to tbs univeraal uo-
illingnsss ol mine owners to permit
ths Insids facts of thslr operations to be
put before the public. What ths reason
is I cannot make out, but It Is a fact
that tbe Josephine minora are more
reservsd In connection with things
hich would be of general public in
terest than any other body of men 1
know of. But it may essily be seen that
tbe mining interest here la both ah
eitenslve and a profitable one. The

valuable time waa necessarily loat in
making repairs. A alide carried away a
large portion of their new ditch, aa well
as a small cabin which thsy had put up

A a tody of medieval rural life is
apt to give the impression that the
principal part, of the life of the peo
ple waa spent In quarreling or In tbe
commission or prosecution of offenses.
Our ancestors certainly were a very
lltigioua and a very disorderly people.
The recorda teem with inataucea of
mint and women drawing knlvea
against one another, of breaking Into
houses, of prosecuting one another
for slander. Then we hare such en
tries a these, says Llpplncott's:
"It Is ordained by common content
that all the women of the village mint
restrain thrir tongura from all slan
dering." "Thninat, aon of Robert
Smith, la fined li pence becauae hit
wife Agnea beat Emma, the wife of
Robert, the Tailor; and Robert, the
Tailor, 6 pence becauae hit wife Em
ma ewore at Agnes, th wife nf
Thomaa." "It ia enjoined upon all the
tenanta of the vlUags that none of
them attack any othera in word or
deed, with cluha, or arrows, or knlrw,
under penally of paying 40 ahllllr.gt."
Such entries, frequently occurring,
In addition to the innumerable in
stance! of Individual attack, slander,
petty theft, and other Immorality,
aeem to thow a community of far from
perfect virtue.

tecure them to our coiffures become

a Aommunitv of 73 men and women
In St. Louis, whose Moses is William
Windsor, tat dirt. The dirt eaters
each take every day a teaspoonful of
dirt Their leader, saya a report from
that city, believe that (rrit is iiecta
aary to every animal, and that because
mankind will have no dirt in hia food
he Isaubject lo many stomach troublea
that n other animal has. So the dirt
eater goea every day to hia little sack
of aoil. He plunjrcs a teaspoon in and
brings It forth heaped with good old
earth. 1! wnshee ll ciowa wim - -

The dirt eater is particular what sort

of singular diet is technically a sand
T. im from the river bottom and il
made up of mar,y little particlea of
orsnite. marble, qunrtx. and flint well
.,,n,l,l with aire. The chief dirt eat
er has the sand collected and ateril
i.. ha distributes It among his
i!n,.r. t 25 cents a sack. The aaok
la email, but It holda a good deal of
sand. So that daily dirt eating afW
h. st T.mil fashion costs about ten
centa a week. Dirt eating In St. Louis
It six months old and flounshea like a
green hay tree. The chief dirt eater
looks happy and prosperous. The less
er dirt eaters have every day a keen
hunger for thuir diet, and they bring in
their friends.
The dirt eatera have pretentioua
quarters. They are at Eighteenth and
Olive streets in what was until recent
ly the home of the Merchants' League
club. Here the chief apostle of dirt
eating, Mr. Windsor, haa officee and a
lecture hall. He receives visitors dur
ing the day and every night he ltcturea
to hla close. He has now 75 men and
women who attend hia Iecturea and eat
dirt. Thia la an amuiring aect, and it
amuses no one more than its founder.
He said the other night:
"I am not a doctor. I am not a the
lopian. I am simply an advocate of
what I consider the best mesne to the
art of proper living. I have combined
all I teach Into a single vord, vltos
ouhv. manning the science of life,
I come from Wisconsin, and was edu
cated for the law. I waa for years in
the office of William F. Vilas.
"Dirt eating, or more properly aand
eating ia something I took up four
years ago. I wondered why men were
not as healthy as animala. I became
satisfied that it was becauae they did
not ohaerve natural lnwn. I obaerved
that almost every man had atomach
trouble, and that the wild anlmnla had
good stnniache. I watched the animnla,
and became convinced that their good
health, was due to the fact that they
took grit into their stomachs with
their food. In other words they were
dirt eatera. Dirt waa neoessary to
them.
"It occurred to me that men ate no
dirt. Consequently they had no grit
In their stomachs. I determined to
try It. I got a quantity of fine aand
and began taking a small quantity
every day. The experiment was at
tended by audi success that I began
teaching dirt eating."
