BTATE OP OREGON. County of Jack-
ACCORDTNG- to census results, Oregon will be entitled
to another congressman. In all probability, the city
of Portland or Multnomah county will be made a district,
leaving the balance of the state for the other two districts.
A consummation devoutly to be wished, is that in redis
ricting tho state, eastern, central and southern Oregon
be placed in one district, and the Willamette valley and
northwestern Oregon in the other.
Southern and eastern Oregon have much more in com
mon than either section has with the "Willamette valley.
They are more progressive, more energetic, and have the
same type of citizenship.
Both sections have the same character of country, the
same character of poimlation, the same natural conditions
to contend with, and their wants and needs are nearly the
same.. Both have alwavs suffered from the domination of
northeastern Oregon, and found their development efforts
clogged by the slower minded mossbacks of the Willamette
valley.
The Willamette valley has nothing in common with eith
er southern or eastern Oregon. They don't "hitch" and
never have. It is a constant struggle in the legislature to
obtain anything for either section, and only by combina
tion is favorable legislation secured.
The Willamette valley region, with its different wants,
different ideals, different population, should be made a
district by itself, and left to work out its future. Southern
and eastern Oregon can work together in harmony until
such time as their population justifies their segregation
into districts of their own. ,

THE
BOOKWORM AND
HOOKWORM.
THE
I.
An old mid fccl)lc bookworm was
sitting in his home,
His wife was young and pretty as
a peach;
.She wanted for to go to a leading
Broadway show,
Because a solemn lesson it did
teach.
Her husband was so languid that ho
didn't want to stir,
His face was sallow and his hair
was gray.
Ton never take me anywhere," was
ber unldndest slur,
And unto her that old man then
did sey:
CHORUS,
fl know I'm not a live one; I know
that I'm a bookworm,
jBut I have lost my ginger now, be
cause I have a hookworm!
"I'd lovo to tuke you everywhere, and
suit your every wish,
"iBut n bookworm with a hookworm
hasn't very much nmbish."
several other measures for their constituents. Both are
loyal friends of Crater Lake and doing all possible to secure
appropriations for its development.
In response to resolutions adopted by various commer
cial organizations of the state stating the need of making
eonmlete surveys in the Crater Lake national park, so that
the department of the interior can base estimates of cost
for submission to congress, and requesting an appropria
tion sufficient to carry on the work, Senator Bourne wrote
as'follows on May 23:
"Senator Chamberlain and I have been conferring re
garding Crater lake, and have agreed that he shall offer an
amendment to the civil sundry bill, providing an appro
priation of $15,000 for carrying on the survey and con
struction work, this amount having been suggested by the
Secretary of Agriculture. We shall do everything possible
to secure the appropriation."
On June 10, the Chamberlain amendment was passed by
the senate, showing that the senators had made good. All
that is to be feared now is that Hawley will fall down in the
house. This is his opportunity to show what he can do,
and upon the result will depend his standing in southern
Oregon.

Such lncldonts and peculiarities ir-urltan colonists of that country. It
throw considerable light upon tho ' truo of tho Indians of Now York
character of tho savages, and go far
to provo tho Improbability of any
such deep plots as many havo ascribed
Tholr schemes could not havo taken
such a rango as wo aro assured they
did. All that wo can allow lu Hits
connection Is hat the Indians wore
In Unto of war accustomed to re
ceive reinforcements from such neigh
boring tribes r.n wero accustomed to
fraternize with them In time of peace
nut It should not bo supposed this
aid was regularly grantod or with
held by tho chiefs or ho.tdnioii of tho
neighboring tribes, for oa such occas
ions tho young men woro accustomed
to use their own doscretlon as to
their IndlvMiinl acts of assistance,
niul wero not undor sufficiently
strict command to bo deterred from
doing as tboy liked In that regard.
Thoro Is n restless element la every
trlbo and on overy reservation, con
sisting chiefly of young braves desir
ous of achieving renown In battle,
nnd tho history of tho Indian wars,
almost without oxcoptlon, shows that
tho rank of hostlles aro swollod by
such volunteers from neighboring
tribes, without any arrangements be
ing mndo; and, It may bo remarked,
this element seems at times ns will
ing to fight on one sldo ns tho other,
and to their assistance we owe many
of our greatest victories over tho
hostile thlbes. The extent of the nld
furnished. Is an important, but in
detcrmnlntc matter. It seems con
8l3tnnt with the Indiana character
that such aid eo furnished would bo
of a most unreliable sort indeed. It
would most likely occur that tho vol
atllo young wonlors would Jesort tho

1 thirteen colonies, that In their In-
clplency a thorough union of tho hos
tile tribes would have resulted In a
total extinction of the white Inhabi
tants, but providentially for tho pion
eers of these now powerful and sopr
ou8 states, tho Indian chnractor wna
Incapable of such union. It Is true
that Pontine, and afterwards Tecum
seh, and his brother tho Prophet,
brought about a eort of rouferonco
betweon tho grent Indian tribes of
the Ohio Valley, but these existed
but for a little time, and we may con
clude that If these chiefs of experi
ence and Intelligence, opperatlng ns
they did at v. great distance from tho
whites, could not effectually unlto
the Indians of .heir time, nnd Hoguo
Itlvor chiefs surrounded and watched !
by whites, mod certainly could not
effect that result. It appoars con
sistent to allow that the Indian allies
woro but chance visitors or errant
warriors from neighboring tribes.
Tho writer s.-ys: "Thoy procured
more or less guns and pistols by thoft

to the word otherwise no one can
desputo that assertion. To nscrlbo
procurement by thoft, whoa it is nn
ii'idlsputed fact that tholr arms wero

The stores that do not advorliso
.can't sell so cheaply as tboeo that do
for thoy mako fewer sales, and
-their por-salo profit must be larger,
A SHLAND now has the opportunity it has craved. It
-- can build its own electric line and finance it with local
capital, and operate with such profit that in a few years it
can be turned over free to the city.
It is a fine time for Ashland to demonstrate its financial
strength to the world and those who so indignantly reject
ed outside capital, will of course hasten to make good them
selves.
No better opportunity will ever occur. Railroads
throughout the nation are stopping all construction work.
Tho eastern money markets are tight and money cannot
be had for new enterprises. Even Jim Hill is delaying his
projects. But or course it is not wanted in Ashland.
Ashland can also demonstrate a new thing to the world
that a trolley in a town of its size is a paying investment.
Of course, ninety per cent of the trolley lines in cities of
25,000 population fail, but they do not run over such valu
able streets as Ashland's. The franchise alone ought to pay
cost of operation for a score of years.
Ashland's municipal lighting plant has been such a phe
nomenal success, that all doubt of the success of the Ash
land trolley is eliminated. Every mossback will subscribe
heavily to it and the amount raised will make Allen's $5,-
000,000 look like 30 cents.

INDIAN WARS OE SOUTHERN OREGON
(From J. C. Walllny's History of Southern Oregon.)
In two minutes you can find In the
-jwe fact that Is important to you,
These barbarians aristocrats woro
lmmeasureably above tholr subjects,
as thoy never conscended to beg, but
took with ready grace what was of
fered. Thoirlndlguation was quick
ly arrousod when their dignity was
slighted, nnd to neglect to lnxlto them
Ions they would stalk Indignatly
homeward. Tipsu Tyee, whoso homo
was In tho mountains botwoen Applo-
gate and Dear Crook, used frequently
to be seen In Jacksonville. This sav
age , less Interesting and attractive
than tho others, was a bugbear to
the minors and settlors, because of
to cat at tho dinner hour was an his occasional "Insolenco" and mys
offense which their haunty blood terlous character, Yot his Impulses
could not brook. Upon such occas- were not all bad, as tho following
and both girls and boys mado bird
houses, kites nnd othor thlngj of In
terest. A school garden was planned
In n city, and ono of tho boys was
employed to plow tho land. Sovonty-
flve children wero wntchlng for him
to como with tho team. At last ho
camo driving around tho cornor. He
could mnnago a toam. Ho drovo into
tho lot, and n hundred and fifty eyes
looked with admiration nt tho boy
who could unhitch from tho sled nnd
hitch on to the plow, and thon as ho
"man fashion" linoo ovor ono
shoulder and undor ono arm drovo
tho big team around tho field, all
could feel the children's admiration
for tho hoy who could do something
worth T?hlle. I hnvo a girl who could
make good bread or sot a tablo nice
ly got tho real admiration of her
schoolmates.
Tho school cm liolp mako bottor
homo builders, it can holp by In
dustrial work dono In tho school, but
as thnt Is already rccolvlng consld
eratlbn by tho press and In a fow
schools, I shall not In this short arti
cle troat of it.
Tho plan I havo In mind will coat
no monoy, will tnko but little school
tlmo, and can bo put Into operation
In ovory part of tho Htato at onco. It
will create a demand for oxport In
fraction later on. It Is to glvo
school credit for industrial work dono
at homo. The mothor and father aro
to bo recognized ns teachers, and tho
school teacher put Into tho position
of one who cares about tho habits
and tastes of tho wholo child, Thon
tho teacher and tho paronts will have
much In common, Kvory homo hns
tho equipment for induattlal work
and has somebody who uses It with
moro or long skill,
Tho school has mado bo many de
mands on tho homo that tho parents
havo, in somo cases, folt that all tho
tlmo of tho child must bo clvon to tho
school, nut an Important thlug that
do the task that needs to bo dono nnd
to want to do It In the best posslblo
way. The roauo.i that so many coun
try hoys nro now tho lending men of
affairs Is bcciiiHO early In Ufa thoy
hnd tho responsibility of homo
thrust upon them. I ntn sure that
the motto, "Evorybody Holps," Is a
good ono.
Tint ono snys, "How can It bn
brought about? How can tho school
give credit for IndUBtrlnl work dono
at homo?" This may bo accomplished
by printed slips asking tho homes to
ttvko account of tho work thnt tho
child docs at homo undor tho Instruc
tion of tho homo, and explaining thnt
crodlt will be jjlvon this work on tho
school rocord. Those slips must bo
prepared for children according to
ngo, so tliat tlio clilld will not no
asked to do too much, for It must bo
clearly recognized thnt children must
havo tlmo for roal play. The required
tasks must not bo too arduous, yot
thoy must bo real tasks. Thoy must
not ho tasks that will put extra work l
on parents oxcopt lu tho matter of
Instruction and observation. They
mny well call for tho enro of mil-,
main, and should Include garden work
for both boya nnd girls, Crodlt In
school for homo Industrial work (with
tho parents' consent) should count
ns much ns any ono study In school,
To ndd Intorest to tho work, exhi
bitions should ho glvon ut stated
times, so that nil may learn from
each other and tho, best bo tho model
for nil. Tho Bchool fairs In Yam
hill, Polk, Denton, Lapo, Wasco and
Crook countlos, togotbor with tho
school and homo Industrial work dono
nt Bugeno, havo convinced mo most
thoroughly thnt these plans nro prac
ticable, and thai school work nnd
home work, school play nnd homo
play, and lovo for paronts and re
upect for toarbor and follow puplb
can best bo fostered by a moro com
ploto co-operation betwoon school nnd
homo, so that the wholo child Is
taken Into account nt all tlinos.
