Hunt, the millionaire, formerly of Seattle, 1B8 joined hands, figuratively speaking, with Booker. T. Washington, in a proposition to collect the negroes of this country and colonize them on their own land, Africa. The scheme embraces the thousands of acres of land tributary to the Nile by irriga tion and , their, conversion into fertile farms and plantations. Mr. Hunt has arranged a meeting place with Booker T. Washington, probably at Cairo, Egypt, to discuss the details of plans already agreed upon. While the pro ject is largely humanitarian in its scope, there is probably behind it a business prospect which will still further aug ment the millions of the capitalists, who doubtless find some comfort in the as surance of iredit due to him who makes even an additional blade grow where one was sprouted. Our people will heartily wish him success, and when it is assured, accord him honor as the man who was able to grapple practically a problem that has long been a disturbing element in politics, and has resulted in much the nation would be glad to for get.- """ "' ' " " ' Pendleton's carnival must have been a bum affair. As a drawing card, it was evidently a dismal failure, for the Pen dleton Tribune says: "The carnival brought a few people to the city and when that's said it's all said. It don't make any difference how many paid their way into the show. They were mostly Pendleton people and would have been here anyway. It's a certain ty that the carnival didn't bring enough people to give it a bad name, and it takes but very few to do that." In the mat ter of entertainment, Pendleton has long been a "frost." The people have been grafted so much by county seat "holi days," "celebrations," "carnivals," etc, that hereafter every mother's son of them and daughter too, for that mat ter will show evidence of having been born in Missouri. In other words, you will have to show them. Testimony in the Tillman trial goes to ithow that if the law against concealed weapons were enforced there would be (ewer homicides in this country. Many men go armed for self protection, and in s iue cases the nature of their employ ment justifies their doing so. But the ugly fact is brought out now and then tint the man with the gun is the one ho is looking for trouble, in the course of which he counts on killing some en emy or committing an unlawful act. The occasions are rare when a man may carry a revolver and use it to good pur Iiho. If he is armed he may at times fowl safer while going home late at night when footpads are abroad. Such times there is not much danger of his doing injury to an innocent person. Lament able casualties do not result from this carrying of concealed weapons. The iiihq who is armed all the time is the one who usually gets into trouble. the painter was smoking. It may cause the painter to abandon cigarettes end make many people wish that a lot of their friends wore painters' clothes. The continued slump in the price of United States steel stock confirms the predictions of those who said that after Mr. Morgan had for a time tried to get bold of everything he would at last seek something and get it in the neck. Why does not the czar ask that all these troubles about Manchuria and Corea be referred to the Hague tribunal, in the organization of which he was the prime mover T Accoiding " to dispatches from St. Petersburg, Russia is not for , war pro vided, of course, she can get what she wants without war. " . A great gold nugget, valued at $3,276, the largest ever found in Alaska or the British Yukon, has been taken from a Nome claim. It was 7 inches long by four and a quarter inches wide. The beautiful specimen is the product of a iiench claim, No. 5, off Discovery on Anvil creek. It weighs 182 ounces and was discovered Sep. 8. There is more money in mining than in the newspaper business even. With snow three feet deep in Mani toba, the stockmen well-nigh crazy over the exposure of their herds, the Canad ian Northwest does not seem as euticing to settlers as it did in the good old sum mer time. The trouble is that the good old summer time does not last long in the Canadian Northwest, and winter is apt to poke in before the middle of September. SCHOOL NOTES. President French of the E. 0. S.
