cATHENA. ORE.. SEPT. 22, 1911
The Portland Journal doea ex- Gov
ernor Moore of Walla WaJla the jnst
loe of doubtiDg that be is oorrectly
quuted. A man of pleasing personal
ity apparent poise and graceful speeob,
it seems incredible tbat be should ex
press the possibility of a republic to
be formed of Pacific Coast states, and
all because Alaska is not opened on a
basis of present laws. The Journal
cannot believe that there can be a re
volt, a revolution or even a breaob of
the poaoo orer the Alaskau situation,
now or hereafter. Indeed, tbe Journal
believes that (,'0 per cent of tho people
of the Pacflo states do not want Alaska
openod ou tbe terms proposed by Gov
ernor Moore. What is wanted Ly tbe
plain people of tbe count who aro all
paying $10 a ton for II coal is the
opening of Alaska ou suoh terms that
tboy will got $1 coal for ft. 'Ibis
cannot to done if a single syudioute or
combination of syndioatea ia (o have
ownership and possession of Aluska
coal lines, Alaska railroads, Alaska
terminals and Alaska st'tamer liuw,
In any ohoioe between tbe two plans it
ia very probable tbat for every Gov
ernor Moore on tbe side of u syndicat
ed Alaska, there is ou I bo other side
100 or 1000 plaiu aud patriotic
Amorioau citizens. If Seoretary Fish
ei should sucooed iu opening Alaska
ou a plan of fl coal for $4, aud if
tboso of Governor Mooie's way of
thinking should movo that tbe PaoiQo
Const states secede from tbe union as
a result, it ia u further happy fact
that seuessiou would be buried under
ballots a buudred iutborus deep.
A special session of tbe legislature
to euact good roads legislation has
been recommended by Governor West's
commission, which baa just met and
outlined several bills. These provide
for state aid, a state highway commis
sioner, aud for enabling counties to
avail themselves of the bonding aot
for road purposes passed at the last
general election. Tbe commissioners
who represent all parta of tbe state
are hopeful tbat much will be acoom
plisbed in tbe good loads mnvemen
by tbe enactment of these measures,
A banker at Bend, believing tb
hog is a great source of wealth, baa
arranged for tbe purchase through
the Portland Union htookyards Co,
of two or three carloads of sows c
good blood in the Middle west and
will sell them to tbe farmers around
Bend, taking their notes for them
for one year. This shows tbe confi
denoe the bankers have iu tbe hog as
a mortgage lifter and the plan prom
ises to aid very materially in building
up a great bog industry in tbe inter
ior. '

Concrete Forts and Big Guns
Protect Our Sea Line.
The modern seacoast fort Is a bat
tery whoso guns nro protected in front
and flank with enormous monoliths of
concrete, covered, In the sides exposed
to tho lire, with sand enough to do
flect projectiles before they reach tho
concrete, nays the Engineering Maga
zine. Deep down In tho interior of
these hugo masses of stone aro placed
(he magazines and operating rooms re
quired for tho service of tho batteries.
They nre simply caves in stone, arti
ficial, to be sure, but as permanent as
the everlasting hills. It Is weird and
uncanny to reflect that In one of those
caves, scintillating with tho highest
resources of science, men stand over
a drawing board on a table and prac
tically seo and plot on a chart every
movement and position of the ships of
a hostile fleet and flash forth to the
gunners in the open such Instructions
for pointing their guns ns enable them
to make consecutive bullaeycs on a
target 0,000 yards away or from groups
of great twelve inch rifled mortars to
make 47 per cent of hits with flocks
of projectiles on the deck of a moving
target anywhere within range.
it Is vastly important that such
rooms bo made ns comfortable ns pos
sible for the strained human intel
lects working out their country's de
fense within them. But to make them
comfortable. Is a difficult problem. In
tho United States tho first modern bat
teries wero completed during an
exigency caused by tho war with
Spain. But since their compjctlon
during tho warm and humid months
of summer rind early fall their gal
leries, magazines and Rervlce rooms
rock with moisture. - Water stands In
great beads upon tho walls and ceil
ings, from which it drips down to form
great pools upon tho floors, and they
aro not safe places for either human
beings, ammunition or material of war.
To remedy the evil many expedients
have been tried and much valuable
experience gained. But the problem
is besot with difficulty.
FALLS ONLY TO RISE.
An Experiment Which Shows a Sort of
Perpetual Motion Effect.
A novel experiment in tho demon
stration of perpetual motion Is to be
performed simply. A glass beaker
about hIx Inches high and four Inches
iu diameter Is tilled with water to
tho height of about four and a half
Inches, and two and one-half to three
ounces of commercial aullluo aro add
ed, which will sink to the bottom of
the vessel.
The temperature of tho beaker nnd
its contents Is now raised to 170 or
175 degrees Fahrenheit by means of a
burner, when It will bo observed that
tho aniline will rise to tho surface of
the water, from which It will haug In
n mass of curved outline. Almost lrn
aiedlately tho suspended aullluo com
mences to alter in shape, and grad
ually a large drop on lm h or more in
diameter detaches Itself from tho
mass and falls through the water.
And now, the detached drop having
fallen to the bottom of the beaker,
conies the surprising part of the ex
periment. Tbe fallen drop Is seen
gradually to rise to the surface, where
It joins the mass f,oin which It pre
viously broke away. At once another
drop commences to form and, having
become detached, falls and rises in the
same manner as the previous drop.
So long as the temperature of the
water Is maintained at 1TO degrees
Fahrenheit or over thi procedure con
tinue;! Indefinitely. - Spokane Spokes

And Queen Caroline, too, the wife

her crowning dress "was as flue as the
accumulated riches of tho city and

Labor must organize
If It Is to Secure Juttiee From Organ
ized Capital, Says Woodrow Wilson.
Few public men have taken such
definite ground on the Question of the
rights and duties of organized labor
as has Governor Woodrow Wilson of
New Jersey. In a letter written to
one of the labor leaders of his homo
stata recently the governor said:
"I have always been the warm friend
of organized labor. It is, In my opin
ion, not only perfectly legitimate, but
absolutely necessary, that labor should
organize if It Is to secure Justice from
organized capital, and everything that
it does to Improve the condition of
worklngmen, to obtain legislation that
will impose full legal responsibility
upon the employer for his treatment
of his employees and for their protec
tion against accident, to secure just
and adequate wages and to put
reasonable limits upon the working
day and upon all the exactions of
thoso who employ labor ought to have
the hearty support of all fair minded
and public spirited men, for there is a
sense in which the condition or laDor
is the condition of the nation Itself.
The laboring man cannot benefit him
self by Injuring the Industries of the
country. I am much more afraid that
the erent corporations, combinations
and trusts will do the country deep
harm than I am that tbe labor or
ganizations will harm it, and yet I be
lieve the corporations to be necessary
Instruments of modern business."

A Morohant Cured After Having Given Up Hop.
Foley & Co., Chicago.
Gentlemen: I was afflicted with Kidney a ad
Bladder trouble for six years and had tried numerous
preparations without getting any relief and had given
up hope of ever being cured when FOLEY'S KIDNEY
CURE was recommended to me. After using one
bottle I could feel the effect of it, and after taking
sa fifty-cent bottles, I was cured of Kidey and
Bladder trouble and have not felt so ell for the past
twenty years and 1 owe it to FOLEY'S KIDNEY
CUKE. James Smith, Bentons Ferry, W, Va.

R. A. Cray, J.P., of Oakville, Ind., writes:
"Most of the time for ten years I was confined to my
bed with some disease of the kidneys. It was so
severe I could not move part of the time. I consulted
the best medical skill available, but got no relief until
FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE was recommended to me.
I am grateful to be able to say tbat it entirely cured me."
