OF SALISBORN THE GRAND 1889 NEWS OF THE WEEK In a Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS \ Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week. Prospects of the Columbia jetty bill are improving. France is satisfied with the success of the Moroccan conference. Germany is urging Turkey to resist the demands of Great Britain. Anthracite coal operators have rejected the terms of the miners. Russia has agreed to a postponement of The Hague peace conference. The New York board of education has adopted resolutions favoring reform in spelling. Dowie's health is falling fast and it may be that his death will settle the fight for control of Zion City. A bill has passed both houses of congress providing for the establishment of a life saving station at Neah bay. Preparations are being made for the early beginning of work on the railroads to be built on the islands of Panay, Negros an Cebu, in the Philippines. The house committee on elections is working on a bill which provides for the election of senators by direct vote of the people and makes the terms of house members four years instead of two. Chairman Shonts has returned to the canal zone. Maxim Gorky, the Russian revolutionist, is in New York. The president has taken a hand in urging the prosecution of the Chicago packers as individuals. President Roosevelt has cabled condolences to the king of Italy on the havoc and loss of life caused by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Cotton workers of New Bedford, Mass., will ask for an increase in wages. There are about 12,000 employed in the New Bedford mills. The anthracite coal operators have offered a new arbitration scheme to the miners and the independent operators call the miners union anarchists. General orders have been issued to naval commanders to observe the strictest economy in the use of coal, on account of a deficiency in the coal appropriation for the navy. Boys from two of Chicago's schools engaged in a war and it took eight policemen to quell the trouble. Many pupils were severely hurt. Airguns, slingshots, baseball bats, bricks and other weapons were sued. Japan has opened Manchuria to foreign trade. Witte again threatens to resign as premier of Russia. Dowie savagely denounces his wife and vows he will not live with her again. Many troops in the Philippines are suffering from malaria caused by impure water. Another attack on engineers and other officials of the Lens, France, coat mines has been made by the miners wives. Nearly all countries have joined with the United States in asking for a later date as the time of the second Hague conference. Anthracite coal operators say they are willing to arbitrate, but have presented new terms to the miners as a basis for the arbitration. Burlington officials claim no knowledge of a wreck on its road near Lincoln, Neb., while men who were on the train say there was a wreck and they saw at least two persons who were killed. Officials of the Chicago & Alton and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroads must stand trial in Kansas for giving rebates. The United States District court at Kansas City has refused to grant them immunity. Roosevelt and Tillman may become reconciled. Gorky and other Russian revolutionists will tour America Tugmen of Chicago have struck for a raise of $5 per month. There are many candidates for Alger's seat in the senate. A great majority of the bituminous coal miners are at work. LAVA COOLS AND ASHES FALL. Naples Recovers From Panic and is Cheered by King and Queen. Naples, April 13. — Frequent detonations are still heard on Mount Veuvius, but faintly. The main crater is gradually enlarging. The most consoling news is that the lava is cooling on all sides. Ashes are falling everywhere, houses are collapsing and burying their occupants. Roads near the volcano are no sooner opened than they are closed again. The heaviest fall is now over Somma, Santa Anastasia, Ponticelli and other villages in a section opposite and distant from the city. The people have recovered from the panic of yesterday, are less sullen and downhearted. It is largely due to the presence of the king and queen. They are mingling freely with the populace, doing everything in their power to alleviate the condition of the injured and mingling their tears with those who have lost friends or relatives. The inhabitants of this city are enduring the yellow gray atmosphere of yesterday, which is even more oppressive than before. The popular costume of those who can afford it consis's of an automobile coat, cap and goggles, which enables the wearer to maintain a semblance of cleanliness, but the people generally have to be contented with paper masks and raised umbrellas. The drivers of trolley cars are wearing masks of some transparent material under the visors of their caps. More shops were opened today and the city is slowly resuming its normal life. The latest reports say that 243 houses have been damaged at Portiej, 195 at San Giovanni and Teduccio, 432 at Resina and 1,000 at Torre del Greco. It is impossible to determine the exact number of buildings demolished at Torre Annunziata. It is estimated that about 5,000 houses in all have been partly or entirely destroyed. In villages on the Ottajano side of the mountain all the houses are damaged. At Nola desolation reigns, the place having been almost entirely abandoned. A committee has been formed to collect funds and organize assistance for sufferers. It is presided over by the Duke of Acosta. The government heads the subscription list with $100,000. The amount collected up to the present time is $300,000. Firemen have been sent from Palermo, Sicily, and other places to the village in this vicinity which have suffered the most from the fall of ashes to assist in removing the ashes from the roofs and relieve the exhausted soldiers. Camp kitchens have been established and free meals are being served. Eastern Roads Admit They Have an Agreement as to Rates. Philadelphia, April 13.—That rates are fixed by the Traffic association composed of various coal carrying roads was the admission drawn from railroad officials at the final hearing of the Interstate Commerce commission investigation into the affairs and abuses of the coal trade. Through Joseph G. Searles, coal traffic manager of the Pennsylvania railroad company, who is also chairman of the All-Rail Traffic association, it was learned that this organization not only fixes the percentage of tonnage allotted to each rsd, but also establishes the rates. Counsel for the commission produced the minutes of the meeting of the Tidewater Bituminus Steam Coal Traffic association, held on September 19, 1900. The records showed that a resolution offered by the Norfolk & Western company permitting that company and the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad to carry tidewater coal at the rate of $1.25 a ton was voted down and that the rvate was fixed at $1.40 a ton. Mr. Searles admitted that there had been an agreement as to the tonnage to be allowed each road, and that, if one road shipped more and another less, a settlement was made. He adds that there had been no settlement since 1894. Mr. Searles denied that there was an understanding to maintain rates between all rail and all water associations for the purpose of preventing competition. Victoria, B. C., April 13.—The steamer Moana, from Australia, brought news of the ghastly murder of Herr Schlehan, a German trader, who was hacked to pieces with tomahawks by man eating natives of the Admiralty group. The trader resided on St. Gabriel is'and, where he had a plantation. The German warship Condor went to hunt the murders and burned the village, from which the natives fled. What became of the body was not ascertained, but it is believed to have been eaten. Castro Quits Temporarily. New York, April 13—General Cipriano Castro has retired temporarily from the presidency of Venezuela. General Juan Vicente Gomez, first vice president of the republic, is the present executive. This information was contained in an official cable dispatch received today from Caracas by Carlos Benito Figuerdo, vice consul general in this city. New Age COAL TRAFFIC IS POOLED. Eat Fat German Trader. Castro Quits Temporarily. IN THE NATIONAL HALLS OF CONGRESS Thursday, April 12. Washington, April 12.—The feature of today's proceedings in the house of representatives was the speech made by Cochran, of New York, who, under an agreement made on a previous day, was given an hour to elucidate the subject of "general debate" on appropriation bills. In view of the announcement that Cockran would speak, the galleries were crowded and a very large proportion of the members were in attendance. Cockran, after a short discussion of the fiction of "general debate" and the failure of members to attend the sittings of the house while subjects covering the widest possible latitude were being illuminated, launched into a defense of the Hepburn rate bill and the high position taken by the house, not only in the exceptional character of the legislation, but in the dignified way in which the bill passed the lower branch of congress. In this connection he ridiculed the constitutional debaters in the senate. Washington, April 12.—After a brief speech by Lattimer on in support of the house railroad rate bill, Foraker today took the floor on that measure and consumed practically all of the remainder of the day's session of the senate. He spent some time in the discussion of some of the amendments he has suggested, and then entered upon the consideration of the entire question of railroad rate regulation, arguing against the constitutionality of the pending bill from various points of view. He was frequently interrupted by other senators. Lodge spoke briefly in support of the practice of granting lower rates on goods intended for export than on those used in domestic consumption. Wednesday, April 11. Washington, April 11.—Among the many bills passed by the senate today was one granting land on Morton island, in Snake river, Oregon, to that state as a fish hatchery. Other bills passed follow: Authorizing the allotment of land to natives of Alaska; prohibiting the use of diving apparatus in the taking of sponges; authorizing the state of Montana to select lieu lands; prohibiting allens from gathering sponges in American waters. In response to a request by Tillman to fix a time for taking a vote on the rate bill, Aldrich expressed the opinion that before the end of the week the speeches would be so far disposed of as enable the senate to foresee the end of general discussion. Washington, April 11. — When Speaker Cannon called the house to order today, a senate bill ratifying an agreement with the Lower Brule band of the Sioux tribe of Indians, in South Dakota, was passed. The postoffice appropriation bill was then taken up. The military record of General Jacob H. Smith was the subject of a speech by Banon, Ohio, who defended the actions of General Smith, in the Philippines, stating that General Wood's achievements were a complete vindication of the case of General Smith, Hayes, Cal., spoke in favor of an increased salary for postal clerks. Tuesday, April 10 Washington, April 10. — For seven hours today the house had under consideration the postoffice appropriation bill, but in only a few instances were the provisions considered. During the debate on the special appropriation for railway mail pay, bitter words were exchanged between representatives from North Carolina, Arkansas and Kentucky, but all were within the rules of the house. A humorous speech was made by J. Adam Bede, Minn., and Charles A. Towne, New York, spoke in behalf of the Jamestown exposition. Both Bede and Towne represented the Duluth district in Minnesota in other congresses. They were warmly congratulated on their speeches. Washington, April 10. — For more than four hours today Bailey held the undivided attention of the senate with a speech in reply to Spooner and Knox, and just before its conclusion there was a significant suggestion from Hale indicating the possibility of an understanding and an early vote on the railroad rate bill. The day was one of the most notable in the recent history of the senate. Very few senators were absent at any time during the day and every seat in May End Race Problem. Washington, April 10 — Dr. S. Harris, professor of medicine in the University of Alabama, at Mobile, talked to e president today about the ravages of consumption among the negroes of the South. He expressed the fear, and he added that his opinion was concurred in by the medical fraternity generally in the South, that the negro race was likely to become extinct in this country. Statistics showed, he declared, that the death rate among the members of the negro race in America was greater than the birth rate. NO. 51. the galleries, public, private, senatorial, executive and diplomatic, was held by its occupant with marked tenacity. Monday, April 9. Washington, April 9.—McLaurin and Morgan addressed the senate today on the railroad rate question, the former advocating the legislation and the latter opposing. The Mississippi senator announced his intention to support an amendment providing for a court review of the decisions of the Interstate Commerce commission and also stated his adherence to the Bailey amendment, prohibiting the temporary suspension of the commission's orders by the inferior courts. He criticized what he characterized as an effort to inject politics into the consideration of the bill. Morgan took the position that the proposed legislation was an interference with the rights of the states to control the corporations created by themselves, and said that the best way to check exorbitant railroad rates was to keep the waterways in such condition as to insure competition. Washington, April 9. — Notwithstanding that this was District day in the house and that body resolved itself into a common council for the purpose of making laws for the District of Columbia, general interest was shown in the bills requiring non-resident pupils to pay tuition and regulating the employment of child labor. Hepburn, of Iowa, replying to a long speech of Sims, of Tennessee, in which he contended for self government for the people of the District of Columbia, made a defense of the form of government, but criticized its administration. He did not think two newspaper men and one army officer, who constitute the board of commissioners, the proper personnel for such a government. Saturday. April 7. Washington, April 7. — The house did not indulge itself in the usual half holiday today, but continued the consideration of the postoffice appropriation bill, and in the latitude accorded under general debate the discussion took on a wide range, including railway mail pay, increased pay for rural letter carriers, the American smelter trust and the corrupt use of money in elections, with side lights on naturalization laws. Dalzell, Republican, of Pennsylvania, called up the bill amending the internal revenue laws to prevent the double taxation of certain distilled spirits. He asked that the bill be considered by the house as in committee of the whole, possibly anticipating some debate. Before he could make any statement, the speaker had the bill read a third time, indorsed and passed, while general laughter over the expeditions way the speaker disposed of legislation run around the chamber. Friday. April 6. Washington, April 6.—In making an effort today to get the senate to agree upon a date for taking a vote on the railroad rate bill, Tillman made the important statement that one week more probably would exhaust the general debate. He failed, however, to secure the consent of Aldrich, who said that he would not be willing to agree to vote on the bill until it was more nearly perfected than it now is. During the day there were three speeches on the rate bill. The first of these was made by Elkins, who, while expressing the opinion that the situation demands legislation, indicated many defects in the pending bill, Gamble followed in support of the bill, and Kean closed in opposition. Elkins was frequently interrupted, and several spirited colloquies marked the progress of his remarks. No senator being prepared to speak tomorrow, the senate adjourned until Monday. Washington, April 6.—Tariff railway mail subsidies, denaturized alcohol and enlarged postal facilities for Western cities were the features of the debate in the house today. What were alleged to be the iniquities of the Dingley law, so far as the manufacture of watches is concerned, were discussed by Rainey, of Illinois, whose tariff revision speech was listened to with much interest. The "stand-patters" made copious notes for the discussions on protection which are foreshadowed. Without touching the merits of the postoffice appropriation bill, which nominally was under discussion, the house at 5:15 adjourned until noon tomorrow. No Limit on Use of Franks. Salt Lake, April 10—That there is no law limiting or prescribing the character of printed matter which congressmen may authorize to be sent through the mails under official frank, is the gist of a decision rendered here today by Judge John A. Marshall, of the United States District court. L. R. Anderson, chairman of the Republican committee of Sanpete county, Utah, was indicted for alleged illegal use of the frank of Congressman James A. Tawney, of Minnesota, for distribution in Utah of political matter. When a man is too busy to be happy he is to be pitied. It might be well for parents to remember that spoiled children come home to roost. A Russian officer gets court-martialled if he doesn't obey orders, and assassinated if he does. Ever notice how easily the heart-broken girl cements the pieces together and awaits another smash? When the New York police begin to raid poolrooms with axes the gamblers think "this is the most unkindest cut of all." Speaking of hoodlums and crime, the father who makes a comrade of his boy is not likely ever to have to bail him out of jail. It will be a long time, just the same, before the National Educational Association succeeds in popularizing "thru," "bizness," and "tuf." We get about so equal a taste of both heaven and hell on this earth that we won't feel quite like a stranger whatever our fate in the hereafter. An invention has been made for the protection of persons skating on thin ice. It ought to be in big demand by Congressmen who are seeking re-election this year. There is, of course, the possibility that some unusually violent earthquake down in Panama may make a split across the isthmus that will render the canal unnecessary. An engineer declares that 50,000 people now do with machinery the work of 16,000,000 persons a few years ago. But they lack an everlasting sight of getting the pay of the 16,000,000. President Castro of Venezuela declares that he is going to test the Monroe doctrine. Would it not be well to let him understand before he goes to any trouble in the matter that the Monroe doctrine was not invented for testing purposes? A big snapping turtle bearing upon its back the initials of Daniel Webster was caught in Buzzard's Bay a few day ago. This will no doubt be encouraging to people who seek to win fame by whitening their initials on everything that comes handy for such a purpose. The best man at the wedding is sometimes hard to pick out—of course the bride may consider him the bridegroom, but the maid of honor would speak for the handsome usher, and the bride's mother for the rich uncle who gave the handsomest gift, and the bride's little brother for the caterer, so there you are. Whatever views may be held of divorce, there is one feature of divorce trials which is repulsive to all people of good feeling which it is a pity there is not some law to abolish, and that is bringing little children into court as witnesses against accused parties. Such impressions as are then gained might never leave a child's mind and general public policy seems to be against the practice. Russia is stealthy and tireless. Even while its armies were being defeated in Manchuria and its throne was shaken by revolt, it was secretly fastening a firmer grip on parts of the Chinese empire. The fact that Russia has a line of military posts across the northern part of the Chinese empire has been kept secret from the world. It was revealed by an indiscreet publication in a Russian provincial newspaper. Russia's purpose, beyond the satisfying of its old lust for dominion, cannot be determined. Whatever it is the powers interested in maintaining China's territorial integrity are directly affected. It may be realized by purchasers of diamond tiaras and the like that styles in settings change almost as frequently as in a woman's hat and every other year at least must see the precious diadem rebuilt. This adds to original cost, for no self-respecting jeweler changes the settings of a costly piece of jewelry without adding a few new stones to the first amount, thereby increasing its value. Of course famous crowns, with associations attached, that have recently come into the possession of very rich Americans remain as first designed, for even an American shows some sentiment when it costs him a fortune to indulge in rich historic jewels, but otherwise diamond and pearl and emerald tiaras are constantly made over. Little interest has been shown in the visit of a Chinese commission of inquiry to this country, but it deserves the attention of those who wish to understand the civilizing forces at work in the world. If the plans which the government of China has in view are worked out successfully—and the investigations of the commission are preliminary to putting them into execution—a new method of dealing with the East will have to be adopted by the Western governments. The Dowager Empress announced a few months ago that a constitution would be granted to China in ten years, and that some of the leading men of the empire were to go abroad to study the governmental systems of other countries with a view to adopting them in a form modified to meet the needs of China. The commissioners were to study not only the political institutions, but the systems of education and the business methods of the world as well. Soon after the arrival of the commissioners in this country it was observed that they were particularly interested in the American public school system, as it is intended to open many thousand new schools in China for the instruction of the people, so that they may be qualified to govern themselves when representative institutions are established. China already has an army of a hundred thousand men trained in modern European army tactics. It is said that this army will be increased to a million within a few years, and that large quantities of modern fortification guns have been ordered for use in the defense of the empire. Men familiar with the races of the East regard the Chinese as superior to the Japanese. In that they are more trustworthy, more patient and more stable. The Chinese are conservative, and have been slow in accepting Western ideas; but they have at last concluded to march with the procession instead of standing at one side while the rest of the world smiles amably at their peculiarities or jeers at their weakness. Of the late Sir Edward Thornton, the British diplomat, who lived to be almost ninety years of age, it is said that his life was spent in taking no exercise. He would take a cab to cross the street and he never would walk upstairs if an elevator was accessible. Yet he was the traditional "picture" of health and suffered little from small or large alliments. Nor is the case of Sir Edward Thornton an isolated one. There are many instances of men carefully avoiding exercise of a physical kind and still attaining great age. On the other hand, it is well established that noted athletes do not, as a rule, enjoy long life. The two circumstances, taken together, appear to cast some doubt upon the modern theory that muscular activity is essential to longevity or at least to good health. They rather support the doctrine, held by certain German biologists, that all physical exercise after a man has attained middle age is at the expense of vital force. There is, at least, something to be said on both sides of the question so far as middle-aged people are concerned. Those who maintain the desirability of exercise will, of course, assert that Sir Edward Thornton attained his great age in spite of his abstention from exercise rather than because of it, and that he might have lived many years longer if he had lived an active physical life. This, however, is mere hypothesis which may fairly be met by pointing out that many people who devote themselves most vigorously to exercise die before they reach middle age. If the rule holds good in one case it ought to hold good in the other and on the face of it the nonexercise people would seem to have the better of it. Sir Edward Thornton's case at least affords proof that a man may live almost to the century mark without taking physical exercise. It may be admitted, of course, that this is a matter in which one man's meat may be another man's poison. Individual idiosyncrasy is a strong factor in the problem. Active physical exercise may not be necessary nor even advisable for some men, while it is essential to the health of others. In such affairs every man must find out what is beneficial for himself without reference to the requirements of any other man. There is no hard-and-fast rule for physical exercise any more than there is such a rule for diet. There is, on the contrary, every reason to conclude that though some men will benefit by vigorous physical activity other men will be better off with none at all—at least after the culmination of their bodily development. "When I could ride I never walked; when I could sit I never stood; I slept as long as I could"—this was the secret of longevity once revealed by a centenarian. It is not a particularly inspiring formula and it makes laziness the chief end of man. Yet there is some reason to suspect that he who desires mere length of years rather than achievement or renown will do well to consider the prospects held out by the languid rather than the strenuous life. Certainly the human machine, like all other machines, may be overworked. Yes, She Could Help Him Up. A well-known bishop of Tennessee was taking his customary stroll through the park the other morning. He happened to sit down on one of the benches there. Now the bishop is a very great man, not only in the Methodist Church but in embonpoint as well. His weight proved too much for the bench, which collapsed, spilling him on the ground. About this time a little girl, rolling a hoop along, saw the reverend gentleman prostrate and offered her assistance. "But, my little girl," said the bishop, "do you think you could help such a great, heavy man to his feet?" "Oh, yes," replied the little girl, "I've helped grandpa lots of times when he's been even drunken than you are."—Lippincott. Browne—Oh! I suppose that goes against the grain. Towne—What grain? Browne—Well, the wild oats.—Philadelphia Press. A Remedy to Hand. "Did you see where a powder trust had the government in its clutches?" "What of it?

Next week the primaries will occur, and candidates are to be chosen by the people, The ones having a plu- Tality will be the nominees, and the Republican choices will mostly be elected. There is naturally not so much of a contest among Democrats, because their party strength amounts to only about one-quarter of the total vote. Yet it is to be noticed and con- sidered that there is in Oregon a Democratic governor, a Damocratic sheriff of Multnomah county and a Democratic mayor of Portland, the main city of the state. Why? Well, because of independence in voting. Let us size up a few candidates again, as they appear before the pri- maries. The man to nominate for governor is Withycombe. Hé may not carry some of the towns as against Chamberlain; he will not carry the slum streets of Astoria or Portland, for instance; but he will carry the country—the farmers and most of the business men. And he will make a good, reliable, substantial governor— sane, safe, sure. He should be the nominee against Chamberlain. As to senator, our considerate judg- ment is that Judge E B. Watson should be nominated. Why? Be he is the best man, and that is the Dest reason that can be mentioned. Lowell is dramatic; Cake is spectac. ular, but cheap; Gearin is all right ex. cept for his politics; Smith is nearly 70 years old and has been a machine man all his life; then there looms a larger man—Watson. For representative in this district it is a hard proposition for Republi cans. No one of the three men seek- ing for the nomination is really fit for the office. This is the truth, We think the most unfit man of all is the one most likely to be nominated— Judge Ellis, He is a suave, half-way agreeable old boy, who never had an opinion or expressed an idea, and ‘wouldn't do so if it cost him a cent. He would have but little voice or influence whatever in the house of representatives. He would simply be a pliant tool of the bosses. Johnny Rand is a far brighter, abler, and more dangerous man. He has some brains, which he generally uses for selfish purposes, Vote for him if you want a man who will flim- flam you to a finish if he gets the chance. Little light Billy Lachner of course is unthinkable. He is a good man for city recorder of Skamokawa. Then there is the Democrat—O, well, no use talking about him. For state treasurer several good men have presented themselves, and The New Age hasn't a word to say against any of them, but it suggests to its voting readers that none of them is so fully deserving of thelr suffrage as Mr. George A. Steel. He is a pioneer of Oregon. He, with several others, built the railroad lne to Oregon city, lost much property, in doing so, in the panic of 1893-7, paid their debts, and has worked day and night for almost half a cen- tury for a greater and better Oregon. ‘Why should not such a man be sup- ported It is important, we think, to noml- nate and elect Frank T, Wrightman secretary of state. As we explained Jn some detail last week, this is a ‘very important office, and he is un- doubtedly the best man for it. We expect to see him win the nomination, and that he will be elected by the largest majority ever cast for a nom!- pee in Oregon. - Attorney-General Crawford and ‘State Printer Whitney, along with ‘School Superintendent Ackerman, outa de reelected. ‘They have been good, capable, faithful officers, “They have done their duties well, and it wouldn't pay to make a change. They know the routine work now, and the be are satisfied with their ser- vices. Under their administration there has been no graft whatever, and the people’s business has been ‘promptly, carefully and conscientious- ly attended to. As to circuit judges, we are sure of ‘good men, but it would be wise to ‘make a change and shake up what is sald, not. altogether jokingly, to be “the court trust.” It would be bene- ficial to have a little new blood on the enc here, and nobody doubts that ae EG: Mery and Col 0. Ww. Gen- tenbein are exceptionally well quall- fied for these positions. As to Judge Webster, we think he should be retired, for various rea- sons, Dut mainly because while tak- ing $300 a month of the people's money he has attended principally to his own private practice. We want : man who won't do that. There are many other offices and candidates who will be mentioned elsewhere or later, but as to the main features of the campaign we have herein tried to size them up fearless. ly, intelligently and without prejudice or undue favor. —>_=—_—= “NEARING A CRISIS.” | The people of Portland ought to rise up, 99 out of 100, of all its 150, 000, and demand that the obstruction to the entrance of the Northern Pa- cific railroad into this city cease. Un- der the above title the Oregonian pub- lishes an editorial, a portion of which we take pleasure in reproducing and commending. It is the right kind of talk. It reads: “The ‘North-Bank road,’ over which the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads are coming down to tidewater by a waterlevel grade, is being pushed to completion as rap- idly as men and money can hurry it. Large forces of men are working night and day on a bridge at Vancou- ver in order that there will be no de- lay in bringing cars into Portland as soon as the road is completed. Un- fortunately for Portland, there is an element in our city which, from mo- tives dificult to understand, seems determined to prevent entrance of the road to the west side of the Willam- ette river. Every obstacle which the ingenuity of man could conjure up has been placed in the path of this approaching railroad, causing a vex- atious delay that is not only expen- sive for the railroad people, but posi- tively harmful to the welfare of the city, The railroad people have met ov Jeetion after objection, they have re- peatedly changed their plans to con: form with the everincreasing re- strictions that have been made upon’ them, until it ig now apparent that | the limit of endurance is close at hand. 5 | “The situation is a critical one for Portland. Mr. Hill can find other communities that will weleome the. coming of his road, or he can easily bitild new ports that can be reached without coming into Portland. In accordance with the extraordinary. requirements of the Port of Portland, the railroad company agreed to build’ a bridge with one of the longest draw spans ever constructed. When the final change was made in their plans to meet the requirement with this remarkable draw, commer: cial Portland breathed a sigh of re- lief, and we congratulated ourselves: because there at last seemed a pros- pect for Mr. Hill to keep his promise. and have Great Northern and North: ern Pacific trains running into Port- land by Christmas, 1908. But the ob- structionists still retained a shot in their locker, and they now demand| that this enormous draw, with a length of 522 feet, be surmounted by an upper deck for wagon travel. | ‘This additional structure, in the opinion not only of raliroad engineers, but of many others, would make the draw so unwieldy and difficult to han- dle that it would cause delays both to shipping and trains, with practically no advantage to be gained, as the heavy grade at the approaches and THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON the great length of the bridge would prevent its use for wagon travel of any consequence. * * * If Mr. Hill Is to be shut out of Portland there Is no necessity for hls crossing the Columbia river, and St. Johns would then drop back to its old posi- tion on the end of @ stub of one rail- road, instead of being right on the main line of two of the greatest transcontinental roads in America. “Delays are dangerous in this mat- ter, not alone because continued re- buffs may cause Mr. Hill to undergo a change of heart, but for the reason that there is the ever-present possl- bility of a truce being declared and all building stopped.” The interests that are fighting this railroad are utterly selfish and most of them are utterly base, They are deadly enemies of this community, and a few six-bit fellows of St. Johns are being used as tools—and not even being paid. There ought to be a great mass meeting to declare in thunder tones that this vicious and vile disposition shall cease, and that immediately. We “are nearing a crisis.” WITHYCOMBE, GOVERNOR. There never has been a campaign for the governorship of Oregon con: ‘qucted in a more cleanly, openly, |manly and mannerly way than that which has so far been and is now be. ing conducted by Dr. James Withy- combe, of Corvallis. We say cam- paign for the governorship advisedly, for Dr. Withycombe will surcly re ceive the nomination on the Republi: can ticket, and ag surely be elected. No one can question his method of making known the fact of his candi- dacy or his manner of seeking the sup- port of those who will elect the next chief executive of this state, He is not a politician in the ordinary sig- nification of that term. He is simply = plain, useful, stalwart citizen, well informed on all matters that pertain to the common interests of the com- ‘monwealth and in close touch and sympathy with the needs and desires of the people, | For many years Dr. Withycombe has occupied a position of more than ordinary importance in the develap- ment of the leading interests of Ore- gon. As director of agriculture in the Agricultural College at Corvallis he has rendered eminent service to the people of the state; and in that ca- pacity he has become familiar with conditions throughout Oregon, many of which are deplorable in some re- snects because of official neglect through the governor's office. Most state executives are more political than practical. And right here is where Dr. Withycombe has the ad-| vantage over all of his opponents, for he is essentially a practical man. That is the kind of man the people want and need, It Dr. Withyeombe were governor of Oregon, not a single interest would be overlooked, even in the remotest county. His would be a practical business administration for the people as a whole. That it would be an eco-| nomical administration may be judged by the manner in which Dr. Withy-| combe has handled all of the business | with which he has had to deal, both | for the public and for himself pri-' vately, during a long life of remark-| able activity and usefulness. That is | why he 1s so generally popular with | the people. They know him. They | Know his nature and his habits. They | know he can be trusted. They are! not afraid of him politically, for he will not be prejudiced by party affilia-' tions, notwithstanding the fact that| he has done eminent service as a Re- publican for many years. They know he is honest and practical. They know there will be no sectionalism in the conduct of the business of his of- fice, for he will favor no district to the sacrifice of the interests of an- other. \ For all of these estimable qualities the people admire him, believe in him and love him for the man he Is. That's what will make him the next governor of Oregon. STOREY FOR SHERIFF. The candidacy of Mr. W. A. Storey for the Republican nomination for sheriff is a growing one, and it be- gins to look as if he would be a win- ner. The majority of the people are lovers of fair play, and most of them ‘know and remember that Mr. Storey, after serving very ably and acceptably a8 sheriff of this county for one term, ‘was turned down by a combination of cliques and interests that nominated sim Stott—with what results we all know. Stott was beaten overwhelm. ingly by Word, and that vote was in a large sense and measure the pro- test of the Republicans of this coun- ty against the contemptuous turning down of Storey, who then deserved another term, and who deserves it) now. Not that any one man is a tled to any office as a matter of right, but it has been the rule to give a good official, especially when his term is only one of two years, a second term, if not a third. This was done with Frafer, it is being done with Fields, and ft should have been done, and should yet be done, with Storey. Give him the nomination. He deserves it; he will beat Word, and he will make a first-class sheriff, as he-did before. CANDIDATE FOR CORONER. Yan C. Dunning isa a candidate for the Republican nomination for coroner, and he ought to be nominated. He is a native of the state and city, the worthy son of an honored pioneer, who. is known to thousands of our citizens as an honorable and conscien- tious business man, * Mr. Finley is a very good citizen and has made a fair coroner, but this office can be bestow8d nowhere so ap- propriately as on Mr. Dunning. One reason for this is that while doing business in all parts of the city and surrounding country, Mr. Dun- ning’s place of business and residence is on the East Side of the river, which portion of the city, now con- taining a majority of its residents, deserves more recognition. Mr. Dunning is a capable business man, well known, thoroughly respon- sible and reputable in every way, a good citizen, and deserving in all re- spects of the people's support. , THE PEOPLE HAVE CHOSEN. ‘The campaign, so far as the choice of the man whom the people will en dorse for senator, is ended. Mr. Bourne, whose record was his un doing, endeavored to stem the tide of public condemnation by the liberal use of money, but money is not the “open sesame” it used to be under the old regime of machine politics. The people are now supreme, untram- meled by political’ bosses—free from machine rule—and the people have de- cided to choose Judge E. B. Watson to represent them in the United States senate. Mr. Watson needs no eulogy. His record is his eulogy—his js an absolutely pure public and pri- vate record, and the people of Oregon honor themselves in conferring politi- cal honor upon him. MR. SAMUEL CONNELL. : Mr. Samuel Connell, president and manager of the Northwest Door Co., a very energetic, useful and prominent citizen and business man, is a candi date for state senator, and deserves election. He is a type of man that is needed urgently in oug legislature He is a first-class business man, en- terprising and public-spirited, moral, courageous, manly, intelligent, and one who won't and can’t,go wrong. We hope to see him in the next Oregon legislature, and know that the people's interests will be safe in his hands. Put such men as Samuel Con- nell on guard in such positions. J. E. MAGERS, Justice of the Peace. Judge Magers is a candidate for the Republican nomination for justice of the peace on the East Side. He is well qualified both by education and experience to fill that important of- fice acceptably to the people of Port- land, and no mistake will be made in hin Ghootinn: CHAS. MAUTZ— For Constable East Side. Mr, Mautz, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for con- stable on the East Side, is well quali- fied for the position and will poll a large vote at the primaries. Remem- ber on April 20.

PATTERSON Primaries April 20, 1906 Candidate for Republican nomina- tion for the office of constable, West Side, Hon. R, G. Morrow, who is a candt- date for the Republican nomination for the cireuit judgeship in Department No. 2, is beyond doubt the most pop- lar candidate for that office. His ability as a lawyer and his fitness to serve as a jurist notably quality him for the place his many friends have induced him to seek. No one doubts the purpose of his honorable ambt- tion. { | A man’s official business ought to be more important than his private business, after he accepts an official place of great responsibility like that of the county judgeship. It seems to be different with Judge Webster. His mines are more important than his responsibility for the exchequer of the people. His legal work also seems to take precedence over his official busi- ness. The people have had enough of that. eee Colonel C. U. Gantenbein is one of the most popular candidates in the local field for public office. His can- didacy for a circuit judgeship is meet- ing with hearty endorsement by all classes. He is an able lawyer and is fitted by professional work to make an excellent judge. He represents the progressive element in American cit- izenship. That he will hake a just and Imparilal fudge there can be no doubt. He will serve the people fear- lessly and without expectation of fa- |corded him as a just judge. «eo € Hon Frank T. Wrightman, who 1% the Republican candidate for the nomination for the state secretary- ship, has received so many assurances: jof success that there should be no doubt about the result. He is popu- lar, able and is fitted in every way to be the successor of Hon. F. I. Dun- bar. Mr. Wrightman is already fa- miliar with the duties of the office which he seeks and would in every way make an ideal secretary of state. Mr, Dave B. Mackie’s candidacy for the nomination for representative in the state legislature from this county is receiving encouragement on every hand because of his personal popu- larity and his unquestioned fitness for the office. He is one of the progres- sive young business men of the city and is fitted by education, study and business training to be the represen- tative of the people of Multnomah county in the state legislature. He has for years been an indefatigable worker for the party and for every- thing that the party represents in the advancement of the interests of the state. oe me - Hon. J. R. Whitney, as state print- er, has made a most conservative and faithful official and hag fully earned the honor of reelection. His conduct of the business of that responsible office has been most economical throughout. He has introduced many substantial reforms in the work of the office, thus saving much money heretofore -needlessly expended in publie printing. He has fully earned the nomination for a second term— and he will no doubt recelve it. ° If the people know on which side their bread is buttered in the state print- er’s office they will renominate and re-elect Hon. J. R. Whitney. - a a ‘ Hon. R. R. Giltner, who is a capdl- date for the Republican nomination for the county judgeship, is receiving strong endorsement in every district So far canvassed. The yoters kilow Mr. Giltner well. They know him to be honest, steadfast, energetic and pro- gressive. They know him to be a good lawyer and a good judge of law. They know that he is conscientious: and impartial. They know, also, that. he knows what the needs of the peo- ple of the county are. They have no doubt, either, that he will devote ull of his time to his official work. The duties of the judge of Multnomah ‘ounty are now sufficiently important ind urgent to demand that. Every- jody knows that Rush Giltner will ill the bill. That’s enough. SHERIFF'S SALE. In pursuance of a judgment ren- dered in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon, for Multnomah coun- ty, on the 13th day of February, 1906, in’ an action wherein The Ames Mer- jeantile | Agency, a corporation, was plaintiff, and Thos. 8.

San Francisco, April 10.—The steamer Mariposa arrived today from Tahiti, bringing additional particulars of the storm which swept the Society and other South Sea islands last February. According to the latest estimates about 150 lives were lost and the property damage amounted to $1,500,000. Among the Mariposa's passengers were B. Chalee, C. Brown and J. Harris, members of the crew of the British ship County of Rogburgh, Captain J. Leslie, which went ashore during the hurricane at Tokarva, in the Paumolee group of islands. Out of her crew of 24, ten lives were lost. Other vessels lost during the storm were the French schooner Taftienne, 53 tons, with Captain Dexter and eight of her crew, and the French schooner Touture, 28 tons, with all on board. The French schooner Hituimi, 19 tons, went ashore at Monihi. Her crew was saved. The French schooner Morurora, 37 tons, went ashore at Tikehou, but the crew was saved. The French schooner Eimeo, 150 tons, is overdue and it is supposed that she is lost with all on board off Tikehou. Thirty seven cutters of 12 to 15 tons were also lost in the storm. W. B. STEELE For County Commissioner. Mr. W. B. Steele, who served the people of this county as county commissioner some five years ago and whose administration is yet referred to with pleasure, is a candidate before the voters for the Republican nomination. Mr. Steele is a good man and well deserves the honor. Don't forget him on April 20. Judge E. B. Watson, of whom the above is a good likeness, is the third son of James and Emily Watson, old and honored pioneers of Douglas County. He has lived in Oregon since he was eight years old. He is a graduate of Pacific University, a lawyer by profession and has occupied a seat on the supreme judicial bench of the state. He began his independent course in life at Jacksonville, and has been a resident of Portland for the last twenty-one years. He is a man of high ability, large experience and strong character, and occupies a place in the foremost rank of his profession. FRANK W. BENSON Mr. Frank W. Benson, of Roseburg, Ore., who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for secretary of state, is one of the most popular men in Southern Oregon, and is making a strong run for the nomination for the above office. Mr Benson is well and favorably known in Multnomah county and will poll a large vote at the primaries on April 20. Don't forget him. In politics he is an earnest and consistent Republican, devoted to the principles and policies of his party, and in full accord with the administration of President Roosevelt upon all general measures. He believes that the interference of the corporations and trusts with the action of party organizations and legislative bodies is the most prolific source of evil in modern times and that their expulsion from the fields of politics and legislation is imperatively demanded by the highest considerations for the public good. He especially advocates the enactment of the straight railroad rate bill, as it passed the house, without any of the "court amendments" proposed by the senate; and the opening of the railroad and Coos Bay Military Wagon Road, subsidy land grants, in Oregon, aggregating between four and five millions of acres, to settlement and purchase by individuals, in quantities not exceeding one quarter section to any one purchaser and at prices not exceeding $2.50 per acre, in accordance with the essential condition on which each of said grants was made.

E Beach & Company, of 135 First St. the oldest and most reliable house of its kind in TRADE MARK F E & B C.0 PORTLAND 9 ORLON Congress inserted this condition in each of these grants, in accordance with the settled policy of the Government, to give every man the opportunity to secure a home on the public domain, and develop the natural resources of the country through actual settlement and cultivation, which was, and is, directly opposed to large holding on speculation for an indefinite period. This condition was inserted in these grants while Hons. George H. Williams and Henry W. Corbett represented the State of Oregon in the United States Senate, upon the favorable report of the former from the Committee on Public lands. the Northwest. It carries an immense stock of the best things in paints and building materials, together with an unusual list of specialties. Those who need anything in these lines can certainly profit by going to F. E. Beach & Company. Remember the number, 135 First street. "THE MILWAUKEE" "The Pioneer Limited" St. Paul to Chicago. The intention of Congress that the people should have the right to settle and purchase these lands, after the title should have passed to the railroad and military wagon road corporation in quantities not in excess of one quarter section to any one purchaser, and at prices not to exceed $2.50 per acre, is so plainly declared in this condition, that it can neither be mistaken nor misconstrued, and there never has been any controversy over it. Nevertheless almost forty years have passed since these grants were made, and the corporations accepting and receiving them on this express condition, and their successors in interest, have never opened any of the lands granted to settlement and purchases in accordance with such condition, but on the contrary have constantly refused to allow their settlement and rejected every offer to purchase under the same, and arrogated to themselves the entire and exclusive ownership thereof, and assumed the right to dispose of them upon their own terms, and repudiated such condition altogether. They have not, indeed, denied the existence of the right, but the power of the courts to enforce it without further legislation on the subject by Congress; and it must be conceded that there is in the decisions of the courts, so far as they have yet gone, some ground for their contention, although purely technical. No trains in the service on any railroad in the world equals in equipment that of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway. They own and operate their own sleeping and dining cars and give their patrons an excellence of service not obtainable elsewhere. Berths on their sleepers are longer, higher and wider than in similar cars on any other line. They protect their trains by the Block system. Connections made with all transcontinental lines in Union depots. H. S. ROWE, General Agent, 134 Third St., Portland. The power of Congress over the subject is unquestionable, and Judge Watson proposes, if elected to the Senate, to make every effort to secure such action by Congress as will render the right of the people to settle and purchase these lands upon the terms incorporated in such condition available according to the true intent and plain meaning thereof. The people have slept on their rights under this condition for a long time, but it is not lost, and its value to them, individually and collectively, can hardly be overestimated. But if the right were infinitely less valuable than it is, and must be admitted to be, it ought still to be asserted and enforced, in vindication of the law, which commands obedience from all, and none may disregard with impunity. There is no reason for longer delay in this matter and many reasons to the contrary. The issue cannot be kept open indefinitely; and every sale of these lands contrary to the terms of such condition, although illegal, adds new embarrassment to the situation. The Union Meat Co. All Dining Cars and First Class Hotels and Restaurants buy the The Best in the Market. Patronize Home Industry. PORTLAND, OREGON Candidate for Nomination for Judge Watson pledges himself, if nominated and elected to the United States Senate, to make the attempt to secure the rights of the people in these grants, in accordance with the wise and beneficent intention of Congress, and hopes with a strong popular endorsement to succeed. Having confidence in his ability and determination, we feel it to be our duty to recommend his election for that important office and shall continue to hope that other fraudulent military wagon road grants, in the State of Oregon, may yet be opened up to the honest settler, notwithstanding the devices employed to hedge him out.

ANIMAL TRAP. One Which Is Both Simple and Practically Sue of Operation. Practically Sure of Operation. When a mouse helps blinself to the cheese in the ordinary trap he takes one chance in ten of being caught. If he had to deal with the trap illustrated below there would be one chance in ten of escaping alive. This trap is both simple and practically sure of operation. The frame is rectangular in form and is made from a single piece of wire, one end of the wire being shaped into a spur. The striker is of about the same size and shape as the frame, the two being connected by a coiled spring at the bottom, the spring forcing the striker down except when held upright by the trigger. The latter is triangular in shape, and swings freely on the top of the frame. In the center of the striker is a rod which supports a metal piece which serves as a holder for the bait. At the top of this metal piece is an V TRIGGER RELEASES TRAP. aperture, the end of the trigger fitting into this aperture. By this simple arrangement the striker will be maintained in a poised position until a slight downward movement of the bait holder is made in the effort of the animal to remove the bait, when the striker will be released and forced violently downward upon the animal, either killing it instantly or imprisoning it. A safety hook is attached to the side of the frame near the top, which locks the trap when not in use. This trap can be made of any size desired to catch different sized animals. Small, but Ready to Fight. The constitution of Switzerland forbids the creation and maintenance of a standing army, but their law, like that of the United States, makes every person of certain ages subject to military duty. So wise have they been in preparations to meet the aggressions of their neighbors, and so closely have they studied the art of preparing to put into the field a trained military force, it is asserted that in a month Switzerland could mobilize and put into the field 200,000 men, competent to meet any of the drilled armies of Europe. Secretary Taft, in a recent speech, used Switzerland as an example of what could be done in the United States if the matter of organizing an army of militia were given more attention.

I wonder what the Lord thinks when the woman with a $50 hat gives five cents to His glory. A good many are singing about lying at His feet in order to get out of walking in His footsteps. It's no mercy to try to make this world heavenly for those who are working to make it a hell. Many of our prayer-messages fail to reach Heaven because they are short-circulated by selfishness.

Well do I mind the day When I, too, had a drawer wherein to place My collars, cuffs, my shirts And small belongings; Impediments in which then I took A certain pride. These were my very own— I had a drawer for them, a dresser drawer, And 'twas my very own. That was, I think, less than three years agone; Before that day— Ah, me; how memory dwells Upon those lean and lonely years! I had a trunk; relic of barbarous days, And bachelorhood, I had a trunk, and there it was my use To place my worldly goods—my all in all. Joyous habiliments of occasions glad, And treasured trophies, and the symbols And now, though burdened with possessions rare All mine in name, I have no place to store them. Baby's things and her's Monopolize the closets, all the drawers, The attic—'en the basement is not free— And when I see a handkerchief or cuff I know not where to find it, nor on whose Belongings I shall lay my desecrated hands, I joy in what I own, forsooth, and yet, Still, on occasions do I sigh to have A cracker box or something that is mine Exclusively, and to my own use Forever dedicate! —St. Louis Globe Democrat.

PORTLAND. OREGON Irrigation. "American irrigation was old when Rome was in the glory of its youth," says C. J. Blanchard in "The National Geographic Magazine." "The ancient aqueducts and subterranean canals of South America, extending for thousands of miles, once supplied great cities and irrigated immense areas. Centuries before the venturous Norsemen landed upon the bleak and inhospitable shores of New England a large population dwelt in the hot valleys of the far southwest. From the solid rock, with primitive tools of stone, they cut ditches and hewed the blocks for many chambered palaces, which they erected in the desert or on the limestone ledges of deep river canyons. These volceless ruins, older than the memory of many centuries, tell the story of a thrifty, home loving and semi-cultured people, concerning whose fate history brings us no word. In these palaces and in many miles of canals we may almost read the story of another Egypt—a people toiling under the burning sun of the desert, wearly and patiently executing the commands of an American Pharaoh." In the last quarter of a century a crop, producing area of 10,000,000 acres, equal in size to the State of Massachusetts, has been wrested from the desert. Irrigation canals long enough to span the earth twice and representing an outlay of $90,000,000 have been built. Every year this area returns a harvest valued at nearly twice the cost of the irrigation canals. The United States is to-day the largest owner of the great American desert—no doubt as Mr. Blanchard explains, because it was not considered worth stealing. For many years the sentiment has been growing that the government should make this vast empire habitable and this sentiment crystallized into the reclamation law, signed by President Roosevelt on June 17, 1902. The first of the great irrigation works to be undertaken by the government is in Nevada. In the bed of ancient Lake Lahontan and embracing what was long known as Forty Mile desert, the most desolate and arid spot on this continent except Death Valley, the engineers completed the plans for an extensive irrigation work involving some rather novel engineering features, the greatest and most important of which is that of lifting the waters of the Truckee River into the great canal, which will carry them over into the Carson River reservoir, whence they are diverted into laterals and carried out upon the desert. When completed the Truckee-Carson works will cost more than $0,000,000 and render productive more than 400,000 acres now absolutely worthless, but which, when irrigated, will sell readily for $30,000,000. It is estimated. People Who Eat Clay. Clay eaters are found in the West Indies, Honduras and some of the regions round the Orinoco. They are not necessarily of any particular tribe, for even whites have fallen victims to this degrading and fatal habit. The habit is contracted at as early an age as 12 years, and the craving once acquired appears to be irresistible. Confirmed clay eaters will lie down and lick the earth where the edible clay is found. They suffer from chronic dyspepsia and emaciation; but, in spite of the pain and weakness, they cannot do without the clay any more than the confirmed drunkard can do without his alcohol. In some localities this clay is whitish gray, sometimes yellowishplink. There appears to be lime in it, and also the remains of minute organisms. It is sometimes eaten baked and sometimes raw. A confirmed clay eater will take four, five, or even six pounds a day. Water is drunk with it. At length the habit seems to give an aversion not only to other kinds of food, but also to alcoholic drinks. As soon as this stage is reached the eating of clay invariably causes death. Snake on the Gas Meter. Arch Davenport, a Fort Scott Joker, turned a large snake loose in his cellar under his house. The gas meter was also in the cellar, and for six months his snakeship forced the gas company to give Davenport a flat rate on his gas bill. The young man who reads the meter never got nearer to it than the door. Last week the snake was found dead and the reading of the meter showed that Davenport had paid for only half the gas he had used. He was compelled to put up the balance due.—Kansas City Journal. Fish Story. Sunfish—Seems that all food one buys is adulterated these days. Pike—Sure. I never think of buying any canned preserves or anything like that—my wife makes all such stuff as that. Why, last summer she put up forty gallons of jelly fish. Finest jelly fish that ever went down the pike, too.—Kansas City Times. And Silence Fell. Bookkeeper—Gee! Those stenographers are chattering so that I can't do any work. I wish I knew how to shut 'em up. Cashier—Ask which one of them is the oldest.—Cleveland Leader.
