At figures quite unheard of

Intelligence and progress, but history
Is history, and the actions of Freder
ick the Great In furn.rft.lng his uncle.
King George of England, with Hes- j J
sian troops, need not detract from
the splendor of German history nor
from the glory of German states
craft. Chamber's Encyclopedia says
of Frederick 11 and the Hessians;
"Frederick's Impatience -Under the
rigid military discipline of his father
gave rise to dissensions and he tried
to escape to the court of his uncle,
King George of England. Being
seized In the act, his conduct was
visited with still greater severity and
he was kept In close confinement,
while his friend. Lieutenant Katt,
was executed In his sight.
On coming to the throne Frederick
pursued the same mercenary policy
and kept up a splendid court on the
proceeds of the pay, amounting to
3.000.000 pound sterling, which the
British government gave him for the
services of 22,000 Hessian troops,
who fought ugainst the American
colonies in the war of independence.
Frederick declared the cit
izen class to be destitute alike of
ability und honor and relied, not up
on the loye of his tjpople. but on his
army and his purse."

A new serial story by Joaquin Mil
ler, called "The Building of the City
Beautiful." began in the December
ii urn be r of The Arena. It deals with
the rebuilding of Jerusalem by the
Jews and affords Miller a rich oppor
tunity to indulge In poetic sentiment
of rare beauty and sublimity. Borne
of Miller's best poems have their
foundations In Palestine Jerusalem
the Nazarene. And though there
is a wealth of imagery and reverence
In these poems of Palestine, yet there
is an irreligious undercurrent in Mil
ler's thought; a sort of stern fatal
Ism which has not, and never will,
surrender to the true spirit of the
Christian faith. The opening chapter
tit this story gives evidence of being
the poet's best prose work. The sub
ject Is inspiring, the scenes are sacred
to human history and the world-old
longing of the Jewish race to return
and re-establish Jerusalem, gives
umple scope for transcendent imag
ery In the story. Miller has never
been a prose writer of even mediocre
ability. His stories have never been
read fur any other reason than that
Joaquin Miller's name was attached
to them. It now seems as If this last
Blory will be an exception to the rule.
One of the firA voluntury. spon
taneous recognitions of the true
worth and Importance of the west,
yet given to this coast by a first-class
eastern Magazine. Is contained In an
editorial on the Lewis and Clark ex
position. In the Four Track News for
December. The brief mention Is as
follows: "Every American, who lays
j any claim to being well Informed,
j should know the story of Lewis and
' Clark. Nothing In fiction can ap
proach In thrilling interest that won
derful story of the trail from St.
Louis to the Columbia. The great
national Importance of this expedi
tion can hardly be over-estimated. It
was the link that, long missing, was
discovered by those Intrepid explor
ers, and completed the chain that
bound the Atlantic to the Puciflc,
and made possible Uncle Sam's un
disputed domain, the boundaries of
which were washed by the restless
waves of both great oceans. Let us
have a care lest we fall Into the er
ror, more or less prevalent In' the
east, of regarding the Alleghenies ns
"the west." Let us remember that
every Uay of our lives we are era
joying tle blessings of the agricultu
ral and mineral wealth of "the
boundless west," a region richer in
resources than any other section of
this continent a region whose east
ern boundary, the Mississippi, lies
a thousand miles beyond the Alle
ghenies. and to whose untold natural
wealth of soli and mine the Lewis
and Clark expedition first attracted
public attention, a century ago."

The honor uf Umatilla county Is
pledged to assist in raising funds to
lomplete the portage road. When
the ultimate benefits to this county
will be so great, when the object of
thlH fund is so vital to the great In
dustries of this county, can she be i
content to fall to do her share?
Every man to whom the contracts I
for the collection of funds are sent,
has been especially chosen by the j
committee in charge as the man es
pecially fitted In his locality to reach
the right men In the right way and
secure results. This Is a labor for
the cuunty. and Is a matter In which
every citizen should be proud to
work for a few days. The present
freight sate on wheat from Umatilla
county to Portland Is nine cents per j
bushel. Where there is river com
petition wheat can be hauled the
same distance for five cents per
bushel. On 3,000.000 bushels, or one
light crop In Umatilla county, the
saving would amount to 1120.000..
The county is only asked to contrib
ute $5000 to the portage deficit In
view of the great saving, should
5000 stand In the way? Will the
failure to collect 10000 In thl county
wreck this golden opportunity to get
long sought relief? It should not be
necessary to seek out the shippers
and wheat raise and beg them to
give to this cause. So vitally are they
Interested in the work that they
should valuntarlly appear at the
bunks and subscribe to this fund for
their emancipation. If the portage
falls now. don't curse when freight
bills come in, hereafter. It Is .now
for you to say.
