HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week. Taft wants the government to lay a cable to Panama. Roosevelt has been asked to bring about peace in Turkey. France has expelled the Venezuelan envoy and will make a naval attack on Castro. Hamburg Socialists and 'police clashed and a number of the latter are wounded. An American has been arrested in Russia for aiding the revolutionary movement. Eighteen men were killed by an explosion in a coal mine 25 miles from Charleston, W. Va. A scandal has broken out in England over the recent election. A number of prominent persons are involved. The house will pass a bill suspending the eight-hour law on the isthmus during construction of the canal. The signatures of American women who desire to see Smoot ousted from the senate fill 80 volumes and will be distributed among the senators. An attempt has been made to kill ex-Governor Peabody, of Colorado, by placing poison in his food. His daughter is seriously ill, but will recover. The price of glass will be increased 10 per cent by the trust within the next two weeks, and another advance of 5 per cent will be made a week after Fire almost destroyed Convoy, a small Ohio town. Another American miner has been killed by Indians in Mexico. All revolutionary leaders to be found are being arrested in Russia. A great blizzard has swept Eastern Washington, Eastern Oregon and Idaho. Jaspar Jennings, the Grants Pass boy on trial for killing his father, has been found guilty. A new gas company has been formed in Portland and will ask the city council for a franchise. Great Britain and Russia have agreed on a common course of action at the Moroccan conference. Russellville, a small Arkansas town, has had its entire business section wiped out by fire. The loss will reach $300,000. Secretary Root declares that the policy of America in the Moroccan conference will be to see that there is a sonare deal. Chief Engineer Stevens says the eight-hour law greatly hampers work on the isthmus. He also opposes the application of the Chinese exclusion law to the canal zone. An examination of the books of the state treasurer of Kansas shows a shortage of $78,000. Former Treasurer Grimes is willing to make good any shortage that occurred during his term. France is preparing to whip Castro. The Morocco conference is in session. Marshall Field has rallied and may recover. Election returns in Great Britain indicate a Liberal landslide. J. C. Napier, a negro, has declined to become United States consul to Bahia, Brazil. The pretender to the Morocco throne is again active. He has 6,000 well armed troops. Henry Pratt Judson, dean of the Chicago universit, will succeed the late President Harper. The Dunlop Milling company's plant at Clarksville, Tenn., has been damaged by fire to the extent of $250,000. A severe wind storm throughout Indiana caused the loss of three lives, many injuries and serious damage to buildings of all kinds. Mayor Dunne has asked for more police to stop Chicago's murder epidemic. Attorney General Moody has declared it will be lawful for the Agricultural department to publish the names of those companies who sell adulterated seeds. A party of Texas men were to have visited Eastern and Northern cities, but the trip has been abandoned on account of high rates demanded by the railroads. It is said that Hermann is determined to take his seat in the house. BURTON WILL HELP. Many Obstacles in Way of Appropriation for Columbia Jetty. Washington, Jan. 19. — Chairman Burton, of the house committee on rivers and harbors, today gave a hearing to Senators Fulton and Gearin, H. W. Scott and J. N. Teal, of Portland, on the Columbia river jetty project. Representative Jones, of Washington, who is a member of the committee, was also present and took part in the discussion. Mr. Burton is thoroughly familiar with the situation at the mouth of the Columbia and is fully aware of the fact that it would be good business policy to make an appropriation this session, not so much to extend the jetty as tc protect the work that has been done during the past season. He realizes that, unless an appropriation is made, the sea end of the jetty, and particularly the unprotected tramway, will be left at the mercy of the heavy seas and liable to be damaged to the extent of several hundred thousand dollars. But, while Mr. Burton is in sympathy with the Oregon men and while he recognizes the wisdom of an appropriation to protect the new portion of the jetty, he is not willing to give any assurances that such an appropriation will be made. There is no general river and harbor bill this session, and it is a serious question in Mr. Burton's mind whether it will be possible to put through special legislation in the interest of only a few emergency projects. Mr. Burton stated, and the Oregon delegation agreed with him, that it would be utterly impossible to pass a special bill making an appropriation for this one project. Such a bill would be amended in the house and senate by the addition of appropriations for innumerable projects until in the end it would become a regular river and harbor bill, and under existing conditions a bill of that character would stand no show of passage. But there are three or four other projects of importance, where emergencies exist similar to that at the mouth of the Columbia. Unless appropriations are made this session for the preservation of these works, the government will sustain a heavy loss. Mr. Burton is considering the advisability of reporting an emergency bill making appropriations for these specific projects only, but he is not vet satisfied that such a bill could get through without being amended to embrace many other projects. Mr. Burton, because of the condition that exists in congress and because of the difficulties that stand in the way of special river and harbor legislation, will hold out no promises to the Oregon representatives, though he freely admits his interest in Columbia river improvement and expresses his personal belief that an appropriation should be made. An appropriation of $1,800,000 cannot be bad, but it is possible that $400,000 may be procured. Mr. Burton explains that it would be impossible to pass any bill which did more than provide funds to protect work already done. EACH ISLET A REPUBLIC. Russian Revolution Spreads to Dots of Land in Baltic. St. Petersburg, Jan 18.—In addition to the Caucasus and a few localities in Siberia, the open revolt is now chiefly confined to small islands off the Baltic coast, where the difficulty of landing troops hampers the subjugation of the revolutionists. The icebreaker Yernak, carrying detachments of marines and infantry, has been unable to reach the principal island, Osel, at the entrance to the Gulf of Riga, and is now awaiting a light-draft steamer to land the troops. Following the example of their brothers on the mainland, the peasantry or even the tiniest islands in the Baltic have instituted independent republics. One of these, on the islet of Linsuit, probably the smallest state in the world, already boasts of a second revolution and a second president, the citizens having risen and overthrown the first president. The present chief magistrate, Jannecenson, is addressing them in proclamations as "my faithful subjects." Expect To Get Increase. Indianapolis, Ind.. Jan. 19.—Adjustment of the wage scale, which was effected at a meeting held at 7 o'clock night, was the first step towards the paramount business of the convention of the United Mineworkers. That an increase in wages will be the principal feature of the report of the scale committee is no longer in doubt, and there is very little doubt among the majority of the delegates that their requests for more money will be readily conceded by the op. operators when they meet in conference. Peace With Insurgents. San Domingo, Jan. 19. — A treaty of peace between the insurgent generals at Monte Cristi and the government was signed today on board the American cruiser Yankee. This assures perfect tranquility throughout the republic. Monte Cristi is now in the hands of the constitutional government forces. DOWIE IS DEPOSED DOWIE IS DEPOSED Business Affairs Taken Out of Hands of Prophet. WAS NECESSARY TO AVERT RUIN Appointment of Triumvirate Dowie's Accession to Demands of Followers and Creditors. Chicago, Jan. 18.—John Alexander Dowie has been permanently removed from financial control of the Zion City industries, according to assurances given the big creditors by the financial agents of the community. The appointment of the triumvirate, with great ostentation, is now declared, merely cloaked Dowie's accession to the demands of Zion City and its creditors that all business arrangements be taken from his hands, leaving him religious leader only. The awakening of the people of Zion has come at last, according to one of the large creditors in Chicago today, "They have been open in saying," he declared, "that they awoke too late and found that in Dowe they had something in the nature of a cross between a 'white elephant' and 'the old man of the sea' hitched on them. "Dowie has squandered money in a most prifligate manner," said this creditor. "His trip around the world cost over $1,000,000. He drew on the treasury for it. The trip to New York cost half as much. It was given out that the followers paid their own expenses. This was hardly true. The recent trip to Mexico was another expensive luxury for the old man. He spent thousands there. And for all these expenditures all Zion City has got out of it has been a few pale fireworks. "The fact of the matter is that creditors have been promised for months that if they were lenient Zion's officials would get the old person out of the way." HER NEW PRESIDENT. France Elects Fallieres, Leader of Radical Elements. Paris, Jan. 18.—Clement Armand Fallieres, president of the senate, was today elected president of the republic, to succeed Emile Loubet. His only rival was M. Doumer, president of the chamber of deputies. The total vote in the national assembly, consisting of the senate and chamber of deputies meeting jointly, was 849, and the vote was: Fallieres, 449; Doumer, 371; scattering, 28; not voting, 1. Although several candidates were mentioned for the presidency in succession to M. Loubet, including M. Fallieres, president of the senate; M. Doumer, president of the chamber of deputies; M. Sarrien, ex-minister of justice; and M. Leon Bourgeois, the former premier, the real contest was between M. Fallieres and M. Doumer. M. Fallieres had the support of the advanced Socialist and Radical groups, constituting the 'famous party which sus ained the Combes ministry. M. Doumer, however, was a formidable opponent, whose election to the presidency of the chamber of deputies last year, after breaking away from his former connection with the famous party previously referred to, gave the first blow to M. Combes. When the first figureux were given out, there was an outburst of enthusiasm, which was renewed after the corrected figures, giving Faillieres 449, thus increasing his already clear majority, were announced. M. Fallieres returned to Paris from Versailles, escorted by a military guard of honor. He will take over his new duties February 18. Castro Buying Machetes. Havana, Jan. 18. —A German merchant who deals in machetes informed the Associated Press today that he was questioned recently by A. L. Bresler, an American, formerly a resident of Detroit, who is the Nicaraguan consul here, with reference to the purchase of 10,000 machetes for the Venezuelan government. The negotiations, the merchant said, were interrupted by the sailing for New York yesterday of Mr. Bresler, who will soon return to Havana. Mr. Bresler lived for some time in Venezuela. "See America" Conference Great. Salt Lake City, Jan. 18. —The Commercial club committee having in charge arrangement for the "See American First" conference in this city, January 25 and 26. announces that representation is now assured from all the trans-Mississippi states and from Duluth in the North to New Orleans on the South. NO. 39. MARSHALL FIELD DEAD. Pneumonia Takes Away Millionaire Chicago Merchant. New York, Jan. 17.—Marshall Field, of Chicago, millionaire merchant and a leader in the dry goods trade of the world, died at the Holland house in this city at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after an illness extending over more than a week, beginning with a bad cold and developing quickly into pneumonia, which affected both lungs. Mr. Field, although 70 years old, made a fight against the disease which the attending physicians characterized as braver and stronger than would have been expected of a man many years his junior. Mrs. Field and other members of the family were with him when he lapsed into the period of unconsciousness which ended in death. In an adjoining room were many persons prominent in the business and social life of Chicago, intimate associates of Mr. Field, who had gone to New York when the seriousness of his condition was made known to them. An outline of the funeral arrangements was decided upon last night. The body will be taken to Chicago this morning on a special train over the New York Central and Lake Shore systems. There will be no service of any sort in this city. It is planned to hold the funeral service in Chicago at a date to be fixed, either from the Field residence on Prairie avenue or from the First Presbyterian church, whose pastor, Rev Dr. Morrison, will in either case, be the officiating clergyman. FIXED SUM FOR HARBORS. River and Harbor Congress Proposes Change in Methods. Washington, Jan. 17.—The National Rivers and Harbors congress today adopted the report of the committee on organization, recommending the election of the following officers: President, Harvey D. Goulder, Cleveland, O.; one vice president from each state represented, to be named by the delegations; Colonel William H. Love, Baltimore, secretary; E. H. Sharewood, Philadelphia, treasurer. Among those recommended for the executive committee were John W. Ferris, San Francisco, and A. H. Devers, Portland. The executive committee is charged with the duty of actively prosecuting the work of securing regular and increased annual appropriations for the improvements of rivers and harbors of the entire country, and to this end to take such steps and use such means as will tend to mold public sentiment in favor thereof. Resolutions were adopted declaring that the national government should put river and harbor bills on a par with other great appropriation bills by annual appropriations, and direct all such work economically and continuously, without the waste incident to intermittent efforts. The resolutions urge an annual appropriation of at least $50,000,000. SWEPT BY BLIZZARD. Wind Reaches 100-Mile-An-Hour Gait in Montana. Anaconda, Mont., Jan. 17.—For two hours this afternoon Anaconda and Deer Lodge valley were swept by the fiercest storm in many years. At the weather observatory above the Washoe smelter the velocity of the wind registered as high as 100 miles an hour. Several inches of snow fell. The storm subsided at 6 o'clock. A special to the Standard from Bozeman says the Gallatin valley was swept by a 40-mile gale and the storm has been raging all night. Helena, Jan. 17.—Helena and Central Montana was visited this afternoon by a blizzard which lasted about an hour. The blizzard followed a lightning and thunder storm and was immediately preceded by a hard gale. The wind attained a velocity of 42 miles an hour. The temperature went to 15 above. Missoula, Jan. 17.—A rather heavy blizzard visited this part of the state for the greater portion of the day. During the morning the wind blew a gale and in the afternoon considerable snow fell. The temperature was about at freezing point all day. Errors Make a Shortage. Oakland, Cal., Jan. 17.—R. A. Maddern, postal inspector of this division, has discovered discrepancies in the account of Charles J. Harrington, clerk in charge of the money order division, indicating a shortage of several hundred dollars. This morning a representative of Harrington deposited with Postmaster Dargie a sum sufficient to cover all the apparent discrepancies, which Harrington says a due to a multiplicity of errors which have been permitted to go uncorrected. He denies any intention at embezzlement. Hermann Sworn In. Washington, Jan. 17. — Binger Hermann is once more a full fledged congressman. He took the oath of office just before the house adjourned this evening, went downstairs and drew his mileage and departed, and not a dozen men in congress were aware of what had happened.

For- tunately he is a rugged man in spite of bis years. Andrew Carnegie 1s credited with having given away $189,000,000, and there is no mortgage as yet on the castle of Skibo.

Much as has been written in regard to the prominent part that such breeding and early training in the country have contributed to the successful management of great en- terprises and the successful prosecu- tion of professional matters, much more will be said in the same direc: tion in the future.

The American must chafe {m- patiently. With all that this implies, It is hard to see how the Americans In the Isle of Pines can really have understood that that little patch of land had become the property of the United States. The letter recently sent to Secretary Root by the presi- dent of the American Club there is Itself conclusive ‘that they have beeu far from clear in that understanding. Had they been clear they would haye proceded long ago to form a provt- sional organization without asking ad- viee of the Secretary. No American Is ever at a loss about such a step If sure of his right to take it at all, But if there were any doubt the reply of Mr. Root must dissipate it at once. In effect he tells these misguided peo- ple that the Island has been a part of Cuba for centuries, and that there Was never any purpose by Spain t) convey {t to the United States nor any thought in this government of asking or accepting It either of Spain or of Cuba. He warns them that while they remain there they are sub- Jeet to Cuban law and to such penal. ties for any {nfraction of that law as the law may impose. He makes i clear that the island was Cuba's with. out the treaty now pending In the Senate, which merely declares the fact, and that this government will never seek to force Cuba to surrender It against her will, It 1s nothing shor of amazing that any other theory ever could have been entertained by any: body, since the Island is merely the largest of 1,200 or 1,00 similar Islet strung around the Cuban coast. If any other theory was entertained, nc matter on what ground, this plain ‘temperate but uncompromising dec laration of its baselessness should put an end at once to the whole i1l-ad ‘vised movement. We may sympathize with any hardships which this may bring, though It 1s bard to see how I can bring any serious ones. If the matter 13 dropped and Cuban Ian henceforth observed Cuba ts not like ly to press a vindictive policy. In any event the situation 1s a consequencé of the error of judgment, to put It tr its mildest form, of these peopl themselves, and this letter of the Sec retary makes It clear that they mus accept It as such.

In 1904 the quantity had increased to forty-one tons daily, showing that 280,- 000 horses were being shod every twen- ty-four hours.

"A little fun" has often led to a great fall. Love is heaven's lever amongst our lives. Wherever there is room for sorrow there is room Love is heaven's lever amongst our lives. Wherever there is room for sorrow there is room for the Savior. Hatred breaks the heart in which it is born. Religion is more than a get-rich-quick system. The man who is ever on the make never makes a man. It's the small joys we give that make our great joys. A coat of arms will be a poor protection in the judgment. The poorest kind of a man is the one who is made of money. This is only a good world when we know that it is God's world. A man is not called pig-headed because he is greedy of intellect. The nearer we get to heaven the heavier this world's goods become. If the Lord had loved us less he would have let us live without labor. The great objection some men have to the sun is that it shines on others. A professional air in the pulpit may please a few, but it will freeze the many. If your religion is of the kind that can be edsily hidden it can as easily be lost. Don't call the world dirty because you have forgotten to clean your glasses. You do not win a front seat in heaven by taking a back seat in church. Many men think they would obey the Ten Commandments if they could just clip off one or two. It takes more than a brotherly manner to make up for a lack of business method in religious work. If life is a voyage, the cargo and the port are of much more importance than the fish that may be caught on the way. When the cracked choir sings, "O, for the wings of a dove," they can be sure of the congregation being with them on that. ON THE FARM. It Is Always Good to Make the La- borer One of the Family. More consideration for the helper about the country house is urged by Mabel Osgood Wright. Describing her home in Connecticut, she writes: "Here is the poor man's paradise. The American helper and the gardener dwell together, as it were, for, if work is to be of the best and true, the beauty of it, as well as the toll, should surround the worker. Why should the laborer endure the heat of the day and be shut out from the shadows and breeze of evening? His cottage, improvised from the old barn, looks cheerfully from its shelter of trees and shrubs, and is rebuffed by no boundaries, and he and his enjoy the spell of the wild each nightfall as well as we. The real reason why the American is disappearing from farm and garden is that the American when he becomes an employer rarely 'knows himself', or remembers, what manner of he he was. If we can only open our eyes and hands to seeing and holding fast to that in the outdoor life that means so much and costs so little! Ambition of excelling one another, of creating a sensation, of doing the big and marvelous, and completing in five years what should be the work of a lifetime makes of the life outdoors a thing as heavy and cumbrous as any other financial or social venture. In bringing the spell of the wild as close to the door as may be lies peace, refreshment and inspiration like the voice of the wood thrush sounding through the twilight."—Country Calendar Poland's Schools. In the kingdom of Poland, with its 127,000 square kilometers, somewhat less thickly settled than Galicia, it is true, having only seventy-three inhabitants per square kilometer, there are less than 2,200 common schools. Fifty per cent of the adult population of Warsaw is illiterate. With a school population of 110,000 between seven and fourteen, this city has a total primary school accommodation for not more than 40,000. The public schools, conducted in an alien language (Russian), have a capacity for only 14,000; an equal number are accommodated in the Jewish schools which teach Yiddish and Hebrew, while private enterprise gives facilities for 10,000 or 12,000.

The New Age wishes to add its modest voice in appreciation of the evident dawning of a new era of development in Oregon, and to aid in it in some slight degree at least, if possible. This paper has now been published a considerable number of years in Portland, and from the first has had unbounded faith in Oregon's and Portland's steady and, even in the near future, rapid growth. That this latter feature of our faith is soon to be fulfilled is now evident. Several great railroads are headed this way, and some of them are building as rapidly as men and money can do the work. Mr. Hill is coming down the north bank of the Columbia and will cross the Columbia and Willamette rivers to this city. One, and probably two, roads will be built to Coos Bay, also to Tillamook. A road is building into Wallowa county, with a prospect of a second. The new route from Portland, leaving the S. P. at Natron, will bring the Klamath region, where irrigation will bring forth great products, in connection with this city, and Central Oregon will be invaded in both directions—east and west and north and south. Two or three minor but important railroads are projected in Southern Oregon, and also in Eastern Oregon. The electric line between Salem and Portland is in course of construction, and several others will soon be built in the Willamette valley. All this railroad building will develop Oregon within five years more than it has developed in the past 20 years, and we look to see Oregon with a population of nearly a million inhabitants in 1910, and Portland with 250,000. Development is going on also in other ways, in dairying, in horticulture, in diversified farming, in manufacturing, and there will be much more of it. Oregon has twice as much standing timber as any other state in the Union, Washington coming next, and this will make the lumber industry several times the already great one it is. Oregon leads the world today in apples, pears, and prunes, and can be made the best fruit state in the Union. Western Oregon is adapted to be an ideal dairy country. With river improvements completed, Portland will increase its commerce several fold, and perhaps become the greatest port on the Coast. All this is close before this city and state now; the great development so long talked about has actually begun. Over $100,000,000 of Eastern capital will be spent in Oregon or along the Columbia and Snake rivers in the next two years. But it won't do for Oregonians to sit back and say, "Well, if all this is surely coming we have nothing to do." Everybody should "bear a hand," take a part, help what he can, do the best he can in his own line of work to bring about the predicted result and make Oregon what it ought to be—the best state in the Union. If everybody works and talks in this spirit, we shall see great changes here, such as two or three years ago even would have been deemed impossible or miraculous, within the next ten years in Oregon. Let development be the watchword, and everybody help. There is room and opportunity for a great number of people, in all sorts of investment, enterprise and employment. Get "in the swim," you Eastern people, and come to Oregon, the state that for some years to come is going to develop far faster than any other portion of the country. PLEDGE SHOULD NOT BE SIGNED. We think the "Pledge No. 1," suggested in the primary law for candi dates for the legislature to make, is not one that they ought to be asked to sign, or that they should sign, at least without careful consideration. Of course, there is no compulsion about it, for the constitution expressly makes it the duty of the legislature to elect a senator, and members or candidates should not hastily or in response to clamor pledge themselves to forego that duty and constitutional prerogative. In the first place the primary law is only an experiment yet, is on trial, and it will be quite sufficient to begin with to try it on other offices, without including that of United States senator, which is in a class by itself. Next, it is not wise to sign a pledge to vote for the man receiving the highest number of votes, when perhaps his plurality will be very slight over the vote of some other or perhaps two or three other men, one of whom the members of the legislature may know to be the better man for the office. A small plurality vote is not test of the people's will, nor even of that of the voters of a party, when a large majority of the votes may be cast for other candidates. Third, this absurd pledge would bind a member to vote for a candidate of the opposing party if he should receive a larger vote than any one of his own party did. Suppose, for instance, there were four or five Republican candidates and only one Democratic candidate. The latter would probably receive a larger vote than any one Republican, and though nine-tenths of the members of the legislature might be Republican, they would all have to vote for the Democrat for senator. This is absurd. Or if a man from Eastern Oregon, or Coos Bay, should receive the larger vote, the whole Multnomah county delegation would have to throw aside the great interests of this city and vote for the outsider, and they should not pledge themselves to such a possible result. A certain candidate who for many years has been absurdly trying to break into the senate has sent out a circular letter to all the newspapers and to all voters whose names he could ascertain, urging the people to require rigid adherence to this proposed pledge, and making an appeal for the carrying out of the primary law in this particular, but we imagine that his screed will have little or no effect upon voters or candidates for the legislature. This was perhaps the only means that he could think of for keeping himself in the public eye, or rather of attracting any notice to his altogether politically-forgotten self at all, and so he adopted it, but if he supposes that anybody of consequence takes his supposed candidacy seriously, he is mistaken. He could not hornswaggle a legislature, and it is safe to predict that if he runs he will be at the foot of the list as to the number of votes received. OPPOSITION GAS COMPANY. Two sets of capitalists are ready with propositions to the council for putting in an opposition gas plant, under what appears to be reasonable terms and conditions and unless the city has municipal ownership of gas works in view, these propositions should be welcomed, and one of them favorably acted on. These people do not ask for a perpetual franchise, such as the present gas company claims to have, and which if it has should be rendered nugatory or comparatively valueless by competition—for no doubt most consumers would use the new gas in preference, which would put the old monopoly out of business. People have been imposed upon so long and to such an extent by the present company that its gas at even less than a new company would have to charge would not be a sufficient temptation to most of them. They would rather pay a reasonable price to a new company for good gas than longer patronize the existing company at half the cost. An opposition company will furnish gas at a price to be determined upon as "reasonable," probably 75 cents per thousand, or so, guaranteeing its quality, asking a franchise for anly 25 years, and paying a franchise tax, something that the Portland Gas company has never done and doesn't intend to do if it can help itself. At the end of that time the city can acquire the plant at an appraised valuation if it be none. so desires. The council has appointed a committee to investigate the many companies against the gas company, including the legal status of its fran- chise, and the people hope the work will be thoroughly done, and that in of votes will in all probability one way or another much benefit will to beat him. The Republican result. Governor Chamberlain is ill get tripped up in his expectat- re-election, for while there are them that receives the highest will be thoroughly done, and that in of votes will in all probability one way or another much benefit will to beat him. The Republican of Oregon has learned somet THE PRESS ASSOCIATION. The recent meeting of the Oregon Press association was a very successful one, and seemed to be an agreeable one also to all the members in attendance, of whom there was a large number. Meeting as it happily did at the same time and to some extent in conjunction with the Oregon Development league, members of both organizations were enabled to become acquainted with and draw inspiration from one another, and add to their stock of good will and zeal in the work in which they are mutually engaged—the upbuilding and general betterment of Oregon. The commercial club of this city played the part of host on Saturday evening to the satisfaction and delight of all present, its president, Mr. H. M. Cake, being especially active and entertaining, as he always is on any such occasion, and as he is so peculiarly fitted by nature and attainment to be. The Oregon Development league will doubtless do a greatly good work for Oregon during this year, and will be greatly aided therein by the press of the state, and especially, we may well believe, by the papers whose editors attended this meeting of the association, who certainly are a lot of men well worthy of the responsible positions they hold as editors and proprietors of Oregon's generally excellent local newspapers. MISDIRECTED ZEAL. It is well enough for officers to hunt out and suppress and punish gross immorality that becomes offensive to the public, but we doubt the wisdom of spying upon all sorts of hotels, restaurants and lodging houses to try to catch persons in a trap, when perhaps they are doing nothing very wrong, or if so, are doing it so quietly that nobody, unless it be themselves, is appreciably injured. Everybody knows that certain forms if immorality cannot, be entirely suppressed, and there are arguments to be made against doing so if it could be done. The mayor seems not to have profited much by his quiotic and farcical raid into Clackamas county, but still to be heeding the advice of impractical visionaries in some cases. And the sheriff sends out a squad every few days and "pulls" a lot of Chinamen who are having a quiet little game among themselves in some rear, secluded room. It is right to suppress public gambling, and to see that the temptation to gamble is not placed before the people, but what harm on earth do these games of the Chinks do to society or the state? It seems a petty sort of business for the sheriff of a big county like Multnomah to be engaged in. In all probability both Word and Lane will be only one-term officials. MEN IN THE PUBLIC EYE. Attorney-General Crawford has made so good and acceptable an official that he well deserves, and doubtless will receive, a renomination at the hands of the people, and if so will assuredly be re-elected. Mr. Crawford's duties are both numerous and energetic, and he has performed them with diligence, fidelity and ability. His official opinion has been sought in a great number of matters, many of them requiring much research and consideration, and he has attended to them all promptly and satisfactorily, and so has been of great service to the state. His official opinions have universally, we believe, been accepted as sound, and his advice has always been wise and helpful. The people of the state could not expect to secure a better man for that position, and will certainly be in favor of giving him a second term, since he has done so well in the first. We know of no Republican opposition to him for the nomination, and there should Governor Chamberlain is likely to get tripped up in his expectations of re-election, for while there are four Republican candidates, any one of them that receives the highest number of votes will in all probability be able to beat him. The Republican party of Oregon has learned something in the last four years' school of experience, and if not entirely harmonious, is not likely to allow a Democrat to be elected governor again this year. It is to be expected, and may be conceded, that the governor will receive considerable more than his party vote, but not enough, by quite a number of thousands, we think, to elect. Not only will a good many Republicans who voted for him in 1902 return to their party allegiance this year, but a considerable fraction of the Democratic vote, whether for sufficient reason or not, will not go to the governor this time. Lightning of this sort does not strike twice in the same place. * * * "For the Lawd's sake," is there to be no Republican candidate for representative in congress in this district except Judge Ellis and Bill Lachner? Judge Ellis was a representative in congress for six years, and if he ever did anything there worth mentioning, it must have been overlooked. Can anybody remember of his performing anything but the most ordinary routine chore-boy service, or of ever making a speech, or even a motion to adjourn? He is 56 years old, disposed to be inert, considered rather dull, and with no force or snap in him, such as is needed in a man in that position. As to Mr. Lachner, we are not so well informed, but a good many people of Baker City smile when his candidacy is mentioned. * * * Dr. James Withycombe appears to be in the lead so far in the race for the nomination for governor. His work takes him into all parts of the state, and principally among farmers, of whom he is one, as well as a scholar and a teacher, and he is said to be by long odds the favorite among them. He would be the best man to nominate, many think, because they believe he would be the strongest one in the election, and the surest one to defeat the present gubernatorial smiler. *** A. T. Lewis, a well-known and experienced lawyer of Portland, is being favorably mentioned by his many friends as an ideal candidate for county judge. Mr. Lewis is known as a very able lawyer, a conscientious man, a good citizen, and in all respects well qualified for this important office. It is reported that Judge Webster is about to make an announcement of his desire and intention as to what he will be a candidate for, though at this writing he has not done so, therefore we will only remark that we hope it is true that he will speak right out and let us all know what it is he wants, or what he is going to try to get. It seems to be generally conceded that Hon. S. B. Huston is far and away the ablest and most suitable man of the three Republican candidates for representative in the First district. He ought to receive the nomination. He would make a first-class congressman. Mr. R. G. Morrow is a prominent and worthy aspirant to a seat on the bench of the circuit court.

Mr. and Mrs. Hardin of 361 Thirtieth street, on last Thursday evening entertained a large number of their friends at a luncheon and whist party. Crescent club elected last week the following officers: Abner A. Hodges, president; E. A. Knox, vice-president; John H. Foster, secretary; L. C. Woodford, corresponding secretary, and W. H. Tyler, treasurer. Mr. A. H. Roberts has gone to Springfield, Ill. He has been appointed state weigher in the office of Secretary Rose. Mr. Edward D. Green has been appointed clerk in the state grain office and takes the place of Rev. Jordan Chavis. Mr. George Woodson has been appointed clerk in the superior court. The Masonic conference that was held in this city last Tuesday was attended by representatives from Ohio, Michigan, New York, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska. They adopted the following resolutions, which were offered by Mr. Chas. H. Henry, of New York. Whereas, There is now four Supreme Councils of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rites among the Masons of the United States, and each one of them claiming to be the only legal one in the country, which has from time to time created confusion and dissatisfaction among the craft, and Whereas, We feel it to be our duty to have made a thorough investigation on the origin and legal condition of each one of these Supreme Councils, so that the craft may have some light on the matter and properly directed in the future, and Whereas, We find that the Supreme Council that was organized in Chicago in 1894, that Mr. Milton F. Fields, of St. Louis, is the Sovereign Grand Commander, and that R. E. Moore, of Chicago, is the Secretary-General, has not the slightest legitimate origin whatever, and is only a self-constituted body, made up of a number of expelled Masons from other Supreme Councils, and that we find that the records show, which is not denied, that Mr. Milton F. Fields was expelled from the United Supreme Council of the Southern and Western Masonic Jurisdiction in 1892, and that R. E. Moore, J. W. Moore, H. S. Cooper and several of their followers were expelled by the Prince Hall Consistory in Chicago, and that these expelled Masons met in the year 1894 and without any authority, power or right, so far as Free Masonry is concerned, claimed themselves to be a Supreme Council, and. Whereas, We find through the Supreme Council that J. H. Smith, of Baltimore Md., and James O. Bam- d. of Washington, D. C., are noth- French Dye- but a spurious body. No evi- All work done al- can be found by which they Dyeing and cleaning of all ki- instance and field, of Washington ing but a spurious dence can be found claim any legitimate Whereas, The one that is in the state of Ohio, that w. H. Boyd, of Cleveland, Ohio, is the Grand Commander, no evidence can be found anywhere that will substantiate or support them as being a legitimate Council, and Whereas, The United Supreme Council of the Southern and Western Jurisdiction, that John J. Jones, of Chicago is the Sovereign Grand Commander, and T. W. Brown, of Chicago, is Grand Secretary-General; and J. C. White, of 277 Washington street, Boston, is assistant secretary-General, is the only Supreme Council that has any legal and legitimate standing and origin, and we find that it was properly and constitutionally organized in 1869 by the Supreme Council of France. One cannot vote at the primaries or election unless he has registered, and can register only as a Republican or Democrat. This is a bad feature of the primary law. A man should have the right to register under whatever party name he pleases, regardless of the vote his party cast at the preceding election, or as an independent. It is nobody's business but his own how any person votes, and there are a good many voters who are neither Republicans nor Democrats who do not wish to register as such, and who ought not to be deprived of their votes. The Oregonian, never to be outdone or even equaled in its own field, has started a popular voting contest for the purpose of sending 23 young ladies of Oregon, Washington and Idaho on a two-weeks' trip to Yellowstone National Park next summer. The fortunate young women will be selected by popular vote in 23 districts, and all their expenses will be paid by the big dally newspaper. The Oregonian is always in the forefront of enterprise and never does things by halves. PANACEA FOR INSURANCE Senator Dryden Has Bill That Would Cure All Ills. Washington, Jan. 16. — Senator Dryden has revised his bill contemplating government control of insurance, and will reintroduce it in the renate today. He had followed very closely the investigation being conducted by the New York legislative committee, and this has aided him in perfecting his measure until now he expresses the belief that it will correct practically all insurance evils exposed by the New York injuivy. Publicity is the keynote of the bill, and coupled with this are safeguards for the detection of wrongdoing and the punishment of those offending. It define policies or insurance contracts as instrumentalities of commerce, and provides for the regulation of the business through the medium of a controller of insurance and along the lines similar to the control exercised over national banks. The author says he believes this will go far towards meeting the objection of those who have questioned the constitutional possibilities of federal regulation of insurance. The senator says the bill has the endorsement of the president, administration officials, eminent constitutional lawyers, in and out of congress, and others, who are familiar with its general features, as coming nearer to meeting the demands of the situation than any of the other numerous pending measures. Senator Dryden has long been a champion of federal regulation. OUR COMMERCE WITH FRANCE. Balance of Trade Against the United States by Several Million. Washington, Jan. 16.—The total commerce between the United States and France, as shown by figures compiled by the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor, amounted in the fiscal year 1905 to about $166,000,000, of which $76,000,000 was the amount of the exports to France, and $90,000,000 was the value of the imports from that country. France gets most of its provisions and breadstuffs from her colonies, and exports mainly high grade manufactures and wine. The United States exported to France nearly all the copper and the cotton used by that country, the total amount of these two articles being about $48,000,000. Agricultural implements exported from the United States this year were approximately $3,000,000, against $500,000 a decade ago.

PORTLAND. OREGON. PEN PICTURE OF ROOT. A Washington Correspondent Describes Great Lawyer-Statesman. A Washington correspondent who has studied Secretary Root impartially and thoroughly presents this pen picture of him: Root is not a popular idol. He probably never will be. He lacks human magnetism. He is cold, stern, calculating, hard, astute, deliberate, conservative, reticent. None of these adjectives are to be found in the description of a popular idol such as Mr. Roosevelt. What other men have done in the possession of other qualities Mr. Root will do by sheer force of intellect, concentration, devotion to public duty and remarkable constructive and executive ability. His will be a conquest of brains and ability, if conquest it proves to be. Take a close view of him here at Washington and learn the method and manner of the man. You cannot study him in the social atmosphere, in the atmosphere of club or popular resort. You must have some business that is his business, business that will bring you in contact with him in his work, for he does nothing now but work. This is literal. Ask the messengers of the State Department, who used to go home at 4 o'clock every ELIHU BOOT. afternoon and are now found at their places at 7 o'clock in front of the closed doors of their chief. Ask his secretary, who nightly carries a big leather portmanteau of papers to his hotel and who never leaves his room until within an hour of the change of days. Ask the night watchman about the State, War and Navy Building when, in the 20 or more years of their service, have they paced the halls of the big granite structure to meet face to face a Secretary of State hurrying from his work to the evening meal. To the State Department he has brought all of the wonderful resources of his great mind. The State Department is his client, and as such has taken the place of the millionaire clients he had in Gotham. Step by step in days of work from 9 o'clock each morning until 7 o'clock each evening, he is familiarizing himself with the case of the State Department. In time he will have mastered it to his satisfaction. Then he will go before the committees of the Congress to plead it. Already some of the remedies he wants applied are known. He will watch ms case with jealous care and answer with unanswerable arguments every urging against what he wants. To this task he will bring all of his wonderful natural ability, all of the training of the foremost lawyer of the country and perhaps of the world, and all of the training he has had as a public man who deals with men and affairs. In New York City in the 14 months Root was out of public life and in the interim between his occupancy of the place as War Minister and Foreign Minister he built up a law practice which was approaching the $300,000 per annum mark—measured by the returns received. This practice was second, perhaps, in remunerative returns to that of no other man. William Nelson Cromwell got the largest single fee for any one case—the Panama Canal Company of France sale to the United States, $4,000,000—and it is said that Mr. Dill, who was the greatest organizer of trusts or legal adviser of the organizers or trusts, made as high as $200,000 in a single year, but it was a "boom" year for the combination of independent enterprises. Mr. Root gave up all the brilliant prospects for financial advantage and comes to Washington only reasonably rich. He comes because of the opportunity of impressing his personality on the history of the country to which he gives of his talents. He comes back because of a patriotic duty and a belief that when called men of his parts should give the best they have to the republic. America's Largest Land Owner. William Cornell Green is known as "the largest landowner in America." His holdings in Arizona and in the State of Sonora, Mexico, amount to about 2,000,000 acres, including some of the most valuable copper-producing land on the continent. It was while raising cattle in Arizona that he became interested in some mines which Senator Clark, of Montana, and other big copper men refused to purchase. The properties turned out to be enormously rich, and now Green is many times a millionaire. Sure Cure for Vanity. "Did you see my picture in this morning's paper?" asked the public man. "No," said the wit, shrieking with laughter. "What were you cured of? Ha, ha!" "Of vanity, after I saw the picture," answered the other, sadly.—Cleveland Leader. ST. PAUL MINN. C. J.

Mountains, lakes, the Sound and the city itself form one magnificent panorama not found anywhere on earth. 9th—The hotel lobby, parlors, Turkish room, etc., are exquisite, and form a continuation of comfort and luxury not often found in hotels. 10th—A Dutch grill has recently been added, where service may be had at all hours. 11th—The dining room cannot be excelled. Breakfast and lunch are served a la carte, at most reasonable prices, and a table d' hote dinner for $1.00 is pronounced by all to be above criticism. 12th—Rates—Extremely reasonable.

The Washington stands alone as the most charming and attractive hotel west of New York.

Wo Other Building in America the ‘Scene of More Thrilling Events. An alert boy of 12 or 13 years, visit- {ng in Boston for the first time, was asked what historical building he would like to visit first, and he re- plied very promptly: “The Old South Meeting-house. 1 ke to see places in which there has been something doing in the past. ‘They did things in the Old South ‘Meeting-house, both before and during the Revolution, didn't they?” Indeed they did! No building in America has been the scene of more thrilling events than has this ancient house of worship. ‘Had this boy, who was eager to see the Old South Meeting-house because ‘of all that it stands for, been in Bos- ton on the 29th day of last April, he might have gone into the time-honored eld buflding in company with bun- dreds of other boys, and a great many girls, who came from all parts of the city to be present at the “Children’s Hour” in the “Old South.” This is a eeml-yearly event in Boston. It is a part of what Is called the “Old South ‘Work;” which is a good work, having for its chief purpose the bringing of the young people of Boston and Amer- fca into an intimate knowledge of early American history. On this 2vth day of April the Old Gouth Meeting-house was packed with boys and girls from the public schools, to hear about William Blackstone, the first settler in the city of Boston. A large orchestra of boys and girls from ‘one of the publle schools played pat- rlotic airs, and [ remember that at one “Children’s Hour” in the Old South two hundred school girls sang the ode whieh was composed and sung when President George Washington visited Boston in 1789.

POOSSOSHOOS OOS OO0OOOOOOOD ‘The first anniversary of the victory of the Yalu was celebrated by General Kuroki’s men in a most remarkable Manner, which, says a London Times correspondent who was with the First Japanese Army, Involved work nearly ‘as hard as that required to win the vic- tory, Not being able to go to Japan, they brought Japan to Manchuria. A whole corps that had been in the field for more than a year set out to create tn a bare valley overlooked by bare hillsides an flusion of Japan at spring- tide, all green and park-like. In Japan carp swim up cataracts—in fables. When they reach the top they decome beautiful dragons, That is the national example of the reward for Perseverance which takes the place of the story of Robert Bruce and the spl- der, One of the brigades, as Its part in the battle of deception, built both the carp and the waterfall. For more than mile, and then up the steep slope which was the scene of their composi- tion, they brought pine boughs to form the sides of the channels, the over. hanging verdure of crags and of rocky Islets, ‘The foaming torrent was made by bolts of cotton laid in waves that half-submerged the leaping fish, sev- enty-five feet long, which had cotton crescents for its scales. A mile away the illusion was excellent, especially If you half-closed your Occidental eyes, which are always seeing scaffold- ing and the prompter's box.

You had to do the same In order to realize the Big Lion (properly spell- jed with capitals). The holes of his nostrils, some fifteen feet wide, were | ands with matting.

A gentle slope was leveled for the ap- proach to the altar. Beyond it a statue of General Kuroki on horseback—a good imitation of bronze—looked down on the scene, with a hanging tris gar- den at his feet. From the altar led two avenues—even provided with con- duits where they crossed gullies—lev- eled with as much care as if they were meani.for a generation's traffic instead of a day's merry-making. | One of the avenues led into’ the Itt- tle village of Piau-chi-tun, which had been Kurok!’s headquarters since the Battle ef Mukden. It had a garland- jed bridge, a huge evergreen arch, and | what takes the place of an arch In |Sapan, a torll, which in this Instance was formed of Chinese matting cov- ered with cotton cloth, Lining both avenues were alternate pine and cher- ry trees, and set between them trans- parencies made by soldier artists, Ven- erable Fujiyama, the most painted mountain in the world, was there, of course, and scenes both at home and at the front, On the plain, out of the earth of the dreary kaoliang fields, whose never- ending stubble Is as the sands of the |desert, had sprung little Japauese gar- dens, such as you see from one end of Japan to the other. Miniature lakes were set In miniature landscapes; and a fountain played among the beds of imitation iris. ‘The night before the fete millions of Imitation paper flowers, which had been fashioned In the letsure hours of camp with the skilfulness of Parisian shop-girls, were brought In great bas- kets and fastened to the twigs of the transplanted trees. ‘The strangest part of {t all ts that tt 1s as natural for the soldiers of the Japanese army to do these things as it Is for them to fight. ‘That same skill which was devoted to making water- falls and paper flowers, that trick of ready Improvisation which brought Japan to Mancburla, was turned the next day into scouting the dead spaces in front of the enemy's works and to desperate charges in the night ORE etc rs are ee) pele ok "In Moneure Conway's “Reminis- ‘conces” is a story told by Helen Tay- lor, the step-daughter of John Stuart Mill.
