It is also gratifying to our citizens to be assured that as yet no rpallv definite action has been taken hv the rienartment to move the office to Pendleton, tho it has been put up tn them bv the Pendleton people to do so.

ENGLAND AND THE WATER WAGON. Should the British government prohibit the sale of strong drink an important source of revenue will go dry. Last year the liquor tax pro duced $198,000,000 and it is estimat ed that it would yield a little more this year. To forego that amount of monev at a time when every penny counts requires some heroism, but there would be compensations. The United Kingdom spends $800,000,000 and a little more for drink each year Of course this enormous sum of mon ey is worse than wasted, since liquor not. onlv benefits nobody, but to many it is positively harmful. Th prohibition of the traffic would sav this expenditure for more beneficial purposes, as similar action has done in Russia. The English are the most bibulous people in the world. Th averaee family spends more than $90 annuallv for tipples of one sort an another. The Irish are considerably less wasteful in this particular. The contemplated prohibition of the liquor traffic is purely for military reasons. It is found that so mucti drunkenness exists in the shipyard that it is difficult to build new vessel at the necessary rate to carry on the naval war. Since Englishmen love the navy somewhat more than thei grog, it seems quite likely that Lloyd- George will gain his point and put the demon Rum to flight. The monster may return to Albion's shores when the war is over, and he may not The British may find themselves so much healthier and happier on the water wagon that they will prefer to stay there. Sunday Oregonian. We should like to see the people of Heppner eujoy a grand May Day pic nic. Why can't we have it? Let the public schools and the Sunday schools of the city get together on this pro position and arrange for a jolly good time. The Fair grounds can be used for this purpose and are ideal. Noth ing of this nature has been attempt ed in Heppner for years and we owe it to the kiddies to give them a time all their own onee in a while, besides the older ones will greatly enjoy an affair of this kind. Let someone nominate a candidate or two for May queen and start the ball to rolling. mtimk W Ml PATIEKSON WE SHOULD PRKPAHE. in n, rent ,vp in Europe is over many penalties will have to be I nam. ine nam Aisniou ouiu.v.- rill have seen war as penecieu u i the science, the valor and the skill of the pale races, and will take those lessons home with them. So will the Gurkhas, and Rajahs soldiers of India. While the world is treating ith contempt the valor of the lurks, hat if a second Saladin should come out of the interior, to lead them as did the first Saladin before whom the most capable of the Crusaders re tired discomfited. By the bearing ol anan towarcLChina one would tnniK that her experts had already measur ed the chances of war with the trongest of the pale races ana are not afraid. What if this war is, alter an, oniy nrpliminarv affair, a curtain raiser for the world war that is to follow hen in final test the pale races are to meet the dark and yellow races ? We hope our government is con sidering these possibilities; that the orks for manufacturing war macm- nery are in perfect order; that science is being exhausted in trying to per fect all arms from carbines to field guns; that the possibilities of the submarine are being saught for; that we may not be totally unprepared when our turn shall come. We cannot see why all the boys in our schools above fifteen years of age are not being daily trained for what mav be in store for our country. Ancient Greece never reached per fection in the arts and in architec ture, until through her daily military training as soldiers they reached nearer physical and mental periec tion than any race since has. That splendid lesson is one tnat should be constantly studied in our republic. As it is we seem to be merely trust ing to fate to keep us at peace, and which, if persisted in, will cause our country to lose a full hundred thous and brave men before the country's armies will have learned tow to fight. Goodwins Weekly. THE XEW SOCIETY PAGE. After twelve years of Congress, Victor Murdock, red-headed, amia ble, progressive and able, has return ed to his home city of Wichita, Kan sas, to resume publication of the Dai ly Eagle, of which he is the owner. He re-enters newspaper lite witn new ana mcaern metis, ami huiuuk them is an adjectiveless society page. What is meant is, that in Mr. Mur dochs Eagle, there will be no more items like this : The charming Mrs. Wilberforce Dustin-Rocks gave a delightful din ner nartv last evening to a select party of distinguished friends. The hostess was becomingly attired in a raris gown of exiiiisite satin, trimmed in gold lace. The spacious parlors were beautifully decorated with cut flowers and trailing evergreens. As Mr. Murdock will have it writ ten, the Eagle will say it this way: Mrs. Wilberforce Pustin-Rocks en- tertnined a nartv of friends at dinner last evening. Only a few guests were in ited. Man proposes, but woman often disposes. Editor Murdock plans, but the ladies of Wichita's fair 400 or dain. A poor newspaper pilgrim with progressive notions about how to run a society page, may at no distant date, conclude that all the rules of safety first" should have been ap plied before recklessly undertaking to revolutionize the ideas and cus toms of social Wichita. It is true as Mr. Murdock says, that any fool reader ought to know that on the occasion of her dinner party, Mrs. Wilberforce Dustin-Rocks was dressed to "kill," that the Dustin-Rocks parlors were a bower of floral decorations, that any affair at the Dustin-Rocks palatial home is made brilliantly exclusive by the charming hostess. All that is, indeed, fundamental as to the Dustin-Rockses and all the first families. But the burning ques tion is, will Wichita's select social set permit its brilliant functions to be described in the same cold blooded fashion with which there is mention of an advance in the price of pork or the crop prospects of alfalfa. Ore gon Journal. MIL HILL'S PREDICTION. James J. Hill, who forecasts dollar wheat this year and 70 cents in 1916 founds his prediction on the expected release of 132,000,000 bushels of Russian grain by the opening of the Dardanelles, says the Spokesman Review. He does not explain his source of information as to the Rub sian supply, a point upon which other authorities confess a lack of close or approximate knowledge. Even the London Economist admits that no one can say how much grain will be avail able there, "since it is not known how much of last year's harvest has been carried down to ports, or how much is lying back In the country for want of transportation facilities. How many steamers are shut In the Black sea no one can say. Even though Mr. Hill's estimate of 132,000,000 bushels should be cor rect, there is reason to believe that it would fall short of the European de ficiency resulting from the war, for he concedes that "It may be estimated & SON, QUICK, CERTAIN, - DEADLY -c HK.U)V FOH IN ST ANT I SR.

PHELPS that the acreage planted in Germany, Austria and France will be between 40 aud 45 per cent under the aver- If that is true of these countries what of Russia's production this year ? Russia, too, has taken mil lions of men and millions of horses from the farms. She may need every bushel for her own people and have none to sell, and if that is her pros pect, she will probably guard the present reserve, whatever it may be. Neither the ending of our civil war nor the conclusion of the Franco Prusian war of 1871, as the Spokesman-Review has previously shown, was followed by a fall in the price of wheat. In fact the converse was the case. Wheat went up with the sign ing of the terms of peace. Mr. Hill, however, thinks "the very fact the war is over will have the effect of causing some settling back of wheat prices," and for another reason he argues that "the European laborer, with factories destroyed and many in dustries ruined, will turn back to Mother Earth for his living, and that will be an important factor in in creasing the world's supply and driv ing prices down." This overlooks the other side of the balance sheet the loss of millions of men and horses on the batle field, a scarcity of seed and the rundown con dition of the farms. Ruined manu facturing industries can be restored without horses and seed; ruined agri culture can not. On this question Mr. Hill, like all the rest of us, is only guessing. His guess may come true, but present in dications do not bear liim out. THE SECOND GENERATION. William Howard Taft, when presi dent of the United States, vetoed the Interstate Kenyon-Webb bill on the ground of its unconstitutionality. His elder son Robert maintains In an article in the Harvard Law Review that the Webb act is constitutional. The ex-president wrote a very learned article setting forth the evils of statewide prohibition and made plain why that policy was a failure and impracticable. His second son Charles of Yale, in a debating con test with the Syracuse University team, vigorously defends the doctrine that prohibition of the liquor traffic is a good thing, alleging that it has proved to be a success, especially in Kansas and Maine. He told of the prosperity that followed the enforce ment of dry state laws, and reasoned that the policy was desirable from every standpoint. Nearly 30,(100,01)0 Cattle Reported In Argentina. Consul General Leo J. Kenna, Bue nos Aires, says that, according to La Razon, the number of domestic animals in Argentina at the end of 1914 was as follows: Horned cattle, 29,500,000; horses, 9,700,000; mules 580,000; asses, 340,000; sheep, 80, 000,000; goats, 4,520,000; pigs, 3, 050,000. The live stock census of 1908 showed 29,116,625 horned cat tle, 70,000,000 sheep and 9,000,000 horses and mules. In 1914 the pack ing freezing plants killed 1, bib, 000 cattle and 2,500,000 sheep, and the slaughter houses killed 2,035,000 cattle and 1,600,000 sheep.

Lawson suffered the loss of a broken buggy tongue last Saturday when his team took fright in front of Minor & Go's, store and suddenly "jack knifed." Mrs. Lawson and young grandson were in the buggy with Mr. Lawson at the time. Men standing near prevented a runaway by holding the, horses until they could be unhitched from the buggy Sam Fleener, the hermit of the Lava Beds, made his appearance in Merrill the first part of the week to secure supplies. This is the first trip he has made to town this Winter. He reports killing two large bears, the largest weighing something less than a ton. He exhibited several gashes, recently healed, on his chest where the hair had been scratched off In a hand to hand encounter with a wounded cougar, the animal mak ing its escape before Sam recovered from swooning when he first observ ed the big cat sneaking down upon him from the roof of Bearfoot Cave.
