'IMIIHI: are some newspapers in this
section of country that ought to be in the
pen for grand larceny. I hey lay for
Till: MINI:I and steal its good news mat
ter as regularly as it Is issued. I his
thing is getting so rank that it ceases to
amuse.
'I III: lettrr of acceptance ol President
McKiuley was "released" Monday morn- Several persons have already been shot, it
lug, It Is nine long columns af solid type, is reported. A soldier of Kafferty's bat
discusses every conceivable issue and says icry, while patrolling the beach this
nothing about anything. Some ol the
"gems" which the partisan papers are
lulling from tills state paper and cluster
lug In Mergeuthaler borders arrahsolutelv
Idiotic In their transpirent con game iliar
acteristics. ANY linn can now get his name in the
Associated press dispatches If he adroitly
announces th it he voted t jr either Bryan
or MiKlnley lour veirs ago and is going
to vote for (lie other one at (hemming
election. I Ills kind ol stntf means no
more than a straw vote or a prediction by
a newspaper or individual, and why thcie
three ihestnuts are in such constant use
is a mystery to one of ordinary common
sense and besides, it Is tiresome
AT the session ol the physical science
section ol the British association lor llir 1
advancement of science, now In annual
session at Hradford, Sir William Henry
Preece, consulting engineer to the British
postolllce, made the interesting announce
ment that as a result ol his expetimenls
with wireless telegraphy, he had found it
niite possible to convey midlhle speech
six to eight miles across the sea without
wires. He added that it was ,1 practical,
commercial system and might be e, ended
to coiiimunicite between ships, and be
tween ships and the shore.
Till: philosopher of the press are Irv
ing to find In prenatal lutlueiices a cause
tor the unnatural ciiine committed recently
in the mountains ol eastern Oregon, when
a boy Killed his own lather. It is not
necessary to go so tar to tin J the cause.
It Is stated that the lather brutally whip
lied the son tor the trilling oveisight ol
leaving a hatchet at the camp ol the pies
lous night. A sense ol being the victim
of initialled jtistUe, and oiiisriiiciit vio
lent resentment and mote 01 less violent
rage are human emotions that more satis
lactorily explain the motive ot the honible
rime than do any lar-tetched theories ol
prenatal intlueiHes,
I'lthKI' are only .'711 ions lets in the
Oregon penitentiary at presrnt. At no
time since iK8 has the number o' inmates
lx-en so small, with the cuei'llou of 18K8,
when theaveragewas i(n, "When search
ing tor evidence ot good times and tiiug
results to Causes, perhaps it would be in
teresting to uotiie the ettect of prosperity
on crime In this state," said stale senator
I aly, ot Heutoii, in a recent interview.
"I he hard times which set in in 1S0:
were at their culmination. uoJ.vrrv worst
in i8o. In August, irUi there were over
400 convicts in the state penitentiary ot
Oregon, and in August, 1000, there were
but 170. In fact, except our year, 1888, '
there has never been sn few Inmates In
the state prison as now since 1885. In
connection with this fact It is well to
enumerate that the population of Oregon
In 1HH5 was 188,000, while In 1000 it Is at
least 4)0,000. From 1888 down, the num
ber of convicts In the state prison was
from 320 to 450, or an average of 34$, and
in 1888 the average was 265."

that Mayor Walter C. Jones estimates the I
1 the
iser-
tak -
number of dead at 5000 and he Is conser
vative. Over n 00 bodies have been tak
en to the sea or buried in trenches. Other
hundreds are yet to be taken from the'
ruins. These bodies are now all badly
decomposed and they are being buried In
trendies where they are found. Others
are being burled in debris where it can be
safely done. I here is little attempt at
Identihcatinn and it is safe to .say that
there ulll never be a complete list of the
dead.
Chief of Police Ketchum is in charge of
the work of burving the dead. There are
larue bodies of men eniMt:ed in this work. I
tearing up ruins and getting out corpses.)
morning ordered a man to desist from
looting. The fellow drew a weapon and
the soldier shot him dead. The soldier
was attacked by three other men and lie j
killed all of them. He had live cartridges l
in his rille and each of them touud a vie-
tim. It is probable that twenty-live in all
have been shot. Some ol these were shot I
lor failing to halt when ordered to do so. -
Others were shot lor vandalism. No
accurate estimate has yet been made re
garding loss to property.
