STATE OF OREGON THE VALLEY 1888 OFTLAND, OREGON, SATURDAY NEWS OF THE WEEK In a Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week. Japan is reported to be preparing for war with China. Railroads may be fined millions for giving the Standard Oil rebates. No agreement has been reached on several important amendments to the rate bill. The Traders' Insurance company has offered a compromise to San Francisco policyholders. Mayor Dunne, of Chicago, says nothing can be done to improve the sanitary conditions of the stockyards. Dr. Louis A. Weigel, the first American authority on the Roentgen ray, is dead as the result of cancer contracted from working on the machine. King Alfonso and Princess Ena are now man and wife. The wedding was one of great splendor, every ruler in Europe having a personal representative present. Just as the Spanish king and queen were about to reach the palace after the wedding a bomb war thrown at the royal carriage. Its occupants escaped unhurt, but 16 persons near were killed. Roosevelt has prepared to force the meat packers to agree to government inspection. If they refuse he will make public the entire findings of his special commission which investigated affairs in Chicago. Southern Morocco natives have rebelled against the sultan. In a battle between British troops and Zulus, 70 of the latter were killed. Senator Burton has announced that he will resign if a rehearing is denied. More than 50,000 people took part in the Memorial day parade at New York. Two thousand marines have just been arrested at Odessa, Russia, for disaffection. The government will establish a number of wireless telegraph stations on the Northwest coast. Customs officials at Tacoma have seized 35 pounds of opium which was being smuggled to Portland. The Binger Hermann trial has been set for June 18 by the judge before whom the hearing will come. A Norwalk, Ohio, court has fined seven bridge companies $300 each and costs for illegal restraint of trade. Insurance rates in Portland are likely to be increased 25 per cent on account of the San Francisco disaster. The Hawaiian government band has arrived in this country for a tour of four months. All the larger cities will be visited. The organization has been increased to 60 members. A revolution is on in Guatemala. Hermann's trial may be postponed until October. Nine persons were killed in a train wreck at Louisville, Kentucky. A change is probable in the Russian cabinet. Shipoff is to be premier. Floods drowned five persons in Nevada and did great damage to property in Colorado. Mayor Schmitz has sent a letter of thanks to President Roosevelt for his aid to San Francisco. China has not yet given any definite answer to Great Britain regarding the change in her customs administration. English papers strongly advocate King Edward visiting Canada and while there also spend some time in the United States. Rockefeller will give $1,000,000 with which to build reformatories throughout the country. The money is intended for use by juvenile courts as well. Heavy rains have raised the streams in Kern county, California, to such an extent that the flood gates of several large irrigating systems are threatened with destruction. Should these gates go out the destruction to property would be enormous. Root is preparing for reform in the consular service. Ambassador Wright received a royal reception in Japan. Odell proposes Horace Porter for governor of New York. The Northern Pacific will add a new transcontinental train each way. Each day's investigations into the methods of the Standard Oil shows them to be blackera Heavy Rainfall in Eastern Oregon and Washington Destroyed Crops. Pendleton, Or., June 1. — Umatilla county has lost by a conservative estimate at least $1,500,000 by reason of the flood. It is impossible to give detailed figures, for the waters in McKay creek and Birch creek, in the Milton country, at Weston and the Umatilla river are raging, and the fields are still flooded and out of sight. On every hand, however, as the water recedes, are left fields of alfalfa coated thick and weighted down with slime and silt. It is a worthless waste, and must not only be cut down but taken from the fields before other crops can be grown. Practically all of the alfalfa crops of McKay creek are ruined. The territory varies from 100 feet to a quarter of a mile in width and is from 15 to 20 miles in length. All of the bridges are out, the water, though falling, is still raging and no definite information can be secured. At Weston the town was damaged to the extent of $5,000 and the same amount was lost in the immediate vicinity. In 54 hours $5\frac{3}{4}$ inches of rain fell, while on Weston mountain the fall was from 9 to 10 inches. Four out of seven bridges are washed out and three small store buildings were washed into the river. The greatest damage, perhaps, is due to stock losses in the mountain ranges. Thousands of sheep had just been sheared and were unprotected. The storm swept into the mountains with an advance guard of cold fog, followed by heavy rain and snow. In the face of this blizzard the herders in many instances deserted their flocks, leaving 2,000 and 3,000 head to their fate. Reports beginning to come in tell of disaster, though everything is unauthentic as yet. Hemphill lost his entire band of 3,000 sheep. J. E. Smith lost 1,000 and Gus Lafontaine 1,000. Douglas Bett's herder left 3,000 to take car of themselves. At Milton the loss will reach into the thousands. The orchards are flooded and the fruit trees covered with mud and slime. The alfalfa fields are masses of sediment, as are the strawberries, but the latter will not all be lost. It is hard to put an estimate on Milton's damage, because many of the fields will be saved. The estimate of damage is made by those who are familiar with the country and who know the area and the value of the crops. No actual figures are as yet forthcoming. In Pendleton the loss will be great on account of the stocks of merchandise flooded in the cellars, and the broken levee and consequent flooding of homes. A conservative estimate of the damage here is $50,000. Walla Walla, Wash., June 1.—After four days and nights of drenching, Walla Walla and the surrounding country are gradually recovering from the unequalled torrents of water poured into the river and streams and submerging the fields. The big plants dependent upon the electric power company are still out of business, but there is hope now that within ten days the power will be supplied. The damage done by the high water has been immense, but the reports coming in today show that the greater actual loss will fall upon the farmers and the fruitgrowers. A conservative estimate of the damage done to crops places the loss at ¥250,000. This is not an exaggeration, as from all parts of the county come reports of bridges swept away, houses inundated and crops destroyed. Caldwell, Idaho, June 1.—When the cases of Charles H. Moyer, William D. Haywood and George A. Pettibone, charged with the murder of former Governor Frank Steunenberg, came up in the district court yesterday, counsel for the prosecution, acting upon the suggestion made on Tuesday by Presiding Judge Frank Smith, filed a formal motion for a continuance on the ground that the habeas corpus proceedings instituted in the Federal courts in behalf of the defendants are still pending and serve as a bar to further proceedings in the state court until a decision shall have been rendered by the Federal Supreme court. Judge Smith granted the motion, and exceptions were entered by the defense and allowed. It is not likely that the case can be taken up again before December. Victoria, B. C., June 1.—The Yorodzu of Tokio says the imperial family of Japan has decided to dispatch His Highness Prince Kamin as special envoy to America to show imperial concern for the disastrous San Francisco earthquake. Prince Kamin will leave for America on June 25. A Pekin report says Tuan Fang and Taihung Chi, Chinese traveling commissioners to America and England, have memorialized the Chinese government commending the American economic system. Washington, June 1. — Brigadier General James A. Buchanan, lately in command of the department of the Visayas, Philippines, will be placed on the retired list of the army tomorrow on his own application. New Age Trial is Postponed. Favors American System. General Buchanan Will Retire. DIG THE CANAL NOW DIG THE CANAL NOW Chairman Shonts Calls for End to Delay Over_Plans. LOCK CANAL IS THE BEST TYPE Accuses Congress of Throwing Obstacles in the Way of Benefits to Present Generation Atlanta, Ga., May 31.—Theodore P. Shonts, chairman of the Panama canal commission, as the guest today of Atlanta friends. He delivered two addresses. The first was at the dedication of a new building at Agnes Scott Institute, a college for women, in Decatur, a suburb of Atlanta. The second was delivered this evening before the chamber of commerce, in which he spoke of the relations of the south to the Panama canal. He took strong ground in advocacy of the lock canal system. Mr. Shonts said that between the time of the selling of the supplies which will enter into the construction of the Panama canal and the period when the opening of the canal will result in the development of the country a gulf is fixed. How great and how wide that gulf is will depend on the type of canal selected. Mr. Shonts spoke in favor of a lock canal as recommended by the minority of the consulting board and indorsed by the canal commission. He said, in conclusion: "The practical question for all sections of the country is, How long shall we wait before we can enter upon the period of development which the opening of the canal will bring to the country? I am not surprised that European countries are indifferent to the early completion of this canal. I am not surprised that they are indifferent as to how much this canal may cost our government. I am not surprised that they can view calmly an indefinite postponement of the operation of this great waterway. They are neither paying the bills nor will their commerce and industries suffer by waiting for the completion of this undertaking. "But I am surprised that those who are supposed to represent the best interests of the American people should try to throw obstacles in the way of realizing the benefits of this work at the earliest possible date. When we can get a better canal for less money and receive the benefits ourselves, why wait? Why make it a heritage to our children, with the possibility of their being deprived of its benefits through some unforeseen contingency? I have spoken of a gulf. Now how wide that gulf shall be depends on the people. Do you want to reap the benefits of this undertaking yourselves, or do you want to transmit a hope to your children or your children's children?" INSURANCE MEN ARE SLOW. Rebuilding Stopped Because They Do Not Pay Losses. San Francisco, May 31. — Building operations in the ruined portions of this city have received a decided set back owing to the dilatory tactics of the underwriters. Almost before the ruins had cooled the owners of large buildings in the business section which had not been destroyed beyond restoration planned for their speedy and complete rehabilitation. In a few days after the great fire throngs of men were engaged in strengthening the shells and clearing away the debris of the great office buildings and hotels in the downtown district. Today the men engaged in the Crocker, Shreve, Mutual Savings bank building and the St. Francis hotel in these operations were given notice that all work must cease because of lack of funds. Accordingly the army of laborers and skilled mechanics who were making the ruins of the great buildings hives of industry were laid off, and quietness once more reigns in these sections of the devastated district. Good Provision for Queen. London, May 31. — Under the marriage treaty signed here May 7 and issued in the form of a parliamentary paper today, King Alfonso engages to secure to Princess Victoria, as Princess Ena is now known in Spain, an annual public grant of $90.000 while both are alive, and in the event of her widowhood $150.000 annually while she remains a widow. A private settlement is also made. The treaty recognizes that the princess forfeits all her hereditary rights of succession to the crown of Great Britain. Serious Revolt in China Shanghai, May 31.—A serious rising, assisted by secret societies, is in progress at Yingshan, in the province of Kiangshi. The people are seeking refuge in the cities. The British gunboat Snipe, from Sangchang, will proceed to the scene of the disorder. The governor of the province is sending troops No missionaries are involved. OBJECT TO JUDGE SMITH. Lawyers for Federation Officials Ask Change of Venue. Caldwell, Idaho, May 30.—When the Canyon county district court convened here yesterday morning, the cases of Charles H. Moyer, William D Haywood and George A. Pettibone, officers of the Western Federation of Miners, who are charged with the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg, were called, attorneys for the prisoners immediately filed notice of alleged disqualifications which should prevent District Judge Frank Smith from sitting as trial judge, and gave notice of a motion for change of venue. Twenty-six reasons which are alleged to disqualify Judge Smith are given. Among other points it is alleged that Governor Frank R. Gooding has issued a public manifesto, declaring the guilt of the defendants and that he has proof of their guilt. The fact that Judge Smith is an appointee of the governor is set forth, and the allegation that he is subject to the influence of the governor is made. The manner of drawing the grand jury in this county also is attacked. The petition severely criticises the conduct of both Governor Gooding and Judge Smith in relation to these cases. Before taking any notice of the motion in behalf of the defendants, James R. Hawley, chief counsel for the prosecution, filed affidavits setting forth the present status of the habeas corpus proceedings taken to the Federal Supreme court on appeal from the Federal court for the district of Idaho. He said the trial of the defendants could not proceed until the habeas corpus matter should be disposed of by dismissal or final decision in the Supreme court. Nothing was accomplished beyond submitting to Judge Smith legal points claimed for the prosecution to be a bar to further proceedings at this time. An adjournment was taken until Thursday. PASS DISEASED MEAT. Special Commissioner Reynolds Saw It Done in Chicago. Chicago, May 30.—How 24 out of 31 diseased cattle were "passed" under the eyes of James B. Reynolds, one of President Roosevelt's special commissioners appointed to investigate conditions at the stockyards, was divulged today by a man who accompanied Reynolds to the plant of the Standard Slaughtering company. This scene dictated in a large measure the report of the commissioners and brought about the inspection bill now before congress. Mr. Reynolds reached the slaughter house shortly after 7 o'clock. Unknown to those in the place, he made an examination of the cattle in the pen. There were 31 diseased cattle standing in the pens when he visited the place. Without exception, the "umps" in their jaws, according to the testimony of one who was with him, were from the size of a cocoanut to that of a peck measure. Mr. Reynolds watched these cattle brought to the killing beds and slaughtered. "How many of them were condemned on post-mortem inspection?" he asked the city inspector, after all had been killed. "Seven," replied the inspector. The commissioner turned away sickened. "What becomes of the products of these vats?" asked the commissioner of Cornelius Short, manager of the slaughter house. "The grease goes to the butterline man and other users of grease, the solids to the fertilizer." "What is done with the meat that passes?" was the next question. "There are two firms in Chicago that make a business of buying it, and it is sold to certain restaurants and hotels." "There was not a dozen in that bunch of 31," said the commissioner to his companion, as he walked out of the place, "that could rightly have been passed." The Standard 'Slaughtering company was organized during the administration' of Governor John P. Altgeld, who compelled its establishment so that the handling of diseased meat could be centralized and thus better controlled. Supreme Judge Brown Retires. Washington, May 30.—Official announcement of the retirement of Justice Brown from the Supreme court of the United States was made yesterday by Chief Justice Fuller. In making the statement he gave out the correspondence between the retiring justice and the court, in which the eight colleagues of Justice Brown expressed their high appreciation of him as a justice. Justice Brown replied in fitting terms to the members of the court, thanking them for their expressions of good will. Land Open to Entry. Redding, Cal., May 30.—The Redding land office received notification from Washington that 320,000 acres of irrigation and forest reserve land 'n the Klamath lake section in Siskiyou county will be thrown open to entry and location September 3. It is valuable agricultural, mineral and grazing land and a big rush is expected. It isn't as long a time between earthquakes as it used to be. If ever the "earthquake proof" house is solved it will be built of rubber. "Lobsters are scarce," says a dispatch from Bangor, Maine. Happy Bangor! An excellent way to dispose of the man with the muck rake would be to get rid of the muck. The muck rake, however, is a useful implement in its way. It is the man behind the rake that the President is after. Now ariseth the fear that a lock canal in Panama might be unlocked with disastrous effect by an earthquake. One man killed an enemy by putting poison in a mince pie, just as if mince ple without poison was not deadly enough. The Supreme Court decision concerning divorces has given Newport society something besides monkey dinners to think about. Nikish is said to demand $50,000 a year as leader of the Boston Symphony orchestra. This is not a case of "art for art's sake." One of the Sunday papers contains an article on "The Passing of Poker." The article may have some historical value several thousand years hence. Numerous office boys who lost their grandmothers on the opening day of the last baseball season are reporting other relatives in a critical condition. Like as not, if you were to attempt to explain to a woman the wave-motion theory of earthquakes she would think you were talking about hair dressing. That Los Angeles surgeon who has restored the reason of a mental incompetent by an operation ought to find a big field of usefulness in Washington. John L. Sullivan is alleged to have offered Dowle $1,000 a week to appear with him in a vaudeville "turn." They might do well as the Havebeen Brothers. The study of jiu-jitsu has been abandoned at Annapolis, presumably because the young gentlemen at that institution can't bear to be rude to each other. One of Dame Fashion's latest decrees is that ladies must carry their pet dogs in cunning little satchels, made for the purpose. Ladies who take pride in their pet dogs will, of course, cheerfully obey this command. Meanwhile the nurses will make such provisions as they please concerning the babies. A London woman died recently from the effects of tight lacing. Advocates of the corset will, however, set up the claim that her stays might have saved her life if somebody had shot at her and the pullet had glanced from one of the steel ribs of the contrivance that she wore for the purpose of making her seem small-walsted. The President says that men of wealth who run their business with a cynical contempt for the restrictions of law are a menace to the community and that the nation is in need of high ideals. A very good way to establish these high ideals would be to put into jail a few of the prominent offenders guilty of this menacing contempt. Ideals can not be established and maintained without action, and vigorous action at that. There is now a good chance to bring this contempt to book and make the law restricting the selfish operations of great wealth and greed more than a mere dead letter. The world will read with amused interest the broadly heralded statement that the wife of a multimillionaire has recently traced her ancestry back to the twelfth century and simultaneously has discovered that the blood of kings flows in her veins. Pride of birth is commendable where it is not offensively exploited. It is a worthy boast that one is a descendant of those who fought to form or fought to save this Union. Besides it is a pedigree that is easily established. It is different in the case where one seeks to prove a descent from ancient and noble forbears, although it is comparatively easy when the notorious fact is recalled that for liberal considerations European experts will prepare a pedigree, whether the beneficiary be a rat-trap peddler or railroad magnate, that will stand the test of casual examination. From factory and office up to college and church the cry is for the young man. The world is his to do with as he sees fit. The young man of to-day is master of a business at an age when his grandfather had scarcely finished an apprenticeship. Universal education and quick and cheap communication bring to the young man now a practical grasp of affairs which only long years of experience could give to our fathers fifty years ago. This is very well to know, if the young man will also keep in mind the fact that he will not always be a young man. In the same degree that he has opportunities when he is young he will be deprived of them when youth is gone. It behooves him, therefore, to provide against the enforced retirement that awaits him just at the time when he may begin to feel that his experience fits him for the best work. If he is past 20 he must get rid of the notion that he is "preparing" himself for life. It matters not who he is or what he is, he is living his life more tensely and more decisively in all probability than he will ever be doing at a later period. If the young man is waiting for some rich relative to die and leave him capital with which to start into business "right," he had better realize that the only way to start into business right is with his two hands, and that the best capital nowadays is a combination of industry, sense, pluck and application. The young man who has this capital needs nobody's money. He who has it not would not succeed if he had a dozen fortunes as a foundation. Money today does less for a young man who will not also do for himself than it ever did before in the world's history. Money, lands, property and all that form a smaller part in human life today than ever before. Time was when these things comprehended almost all that men knew about or strived for. But the field of aspiration, of effort and of accomplishment has immeasurably broadened and will continue to broaden as man develops. There is no man on this earth so afflicted, so narrowed by environment but that there is a field of success for him. And the time to find it and fill it is in youth. Wholly irrespective of its effectiveness as a matter of law, the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in regard to divorce is hailed with delight from one end to the other of this country. The amount of embarrassment that it will occasion was greatly exaggerated at first, as was quite natural, but a little reflection shows that no great commotion will be occasioned. Obviously no marital relations can be affected unless they get into the federal courts, and this can happen only at the suit of parties in another State or by some suit involving the interpretation of the United States constitution or statutes. This can hardly happen except in connection with inheritances and inheritances are easily superseded by wills. Nine-tenths of the people who are technically involved will never experience any trouble and most of them will never hear of the decision. The important thing about this decision is its moral influence. It is like a thunderclap and a lightning stroke from a clear sky. The loftiest tribunal in the landutters a scathing denunciation of the overgrown divorce evil and the great heart of the nation utters a loud "amen." Deep calls unto deep in a hearty condemnation of a great moral wrong and immediately there is heard on every lip a demand for legislation that will make the decision a national law. The habit of divorce is entirely a cultivated habit. Fifty years ago there were almost no divorces and married people were much happier than they are now. Even now there are no divorce laws in South Carolina, and unless the married people of that State are made restive by the evil in other States no doubt they are the most contented married people in this country. It is because the divorce laws excite unrest where there was none before that the evil has reached its present proportions. The divorce habit is like "the beginning of strife," which Solomon says is "as when one lettetl out water." The simile is drawn apparently from a leak in a levee. It is scarcely perceptible at first, but it grows with alarming rapidity, and after a while puts all restraint at defiance. Have we got that far with the divorce evil? Obviously if we are ever to be delivered it must be by the opposite process. There seems to be an established proportion between supply and demand in divorces, just as there is in merchandise. We have been overwhelmed with the demand on account of the bountiful supply provided by unwise legislation. If this demand is ever to be lessened it must be by shutting off the supply. No doubt the more difficult divorce becomes the more peaceable, the home will be and the fewer will be the divorce suits. Across the Ocean. Two or three months ago a Guthrie woman mailed a copy of a Guthrie paper to a friend at Ladoga, Ind. At least that was where she intended to send it, but in writing the address she left off the first two letters of the State, making it "Indla." So across the ocean it traveled. The Indian postal officials could find no town there by the name of Ladoga, and sent it back to this country. After months of travelling it finally turned up in the Indiana town, after having visited Bombay and a number of other Indian cities. A. Small Beginning.

If life was as easy as we ask we would sleep all the way through it. It is a good thing to be able to despise wealth — provided you deserve it. Let the church keep her faith and her figures will take care of themselves. The goose that cackles most often has fewest feathers. He shall dwell on high who has lived with his heart there. The people who swear like troopers often fight like rabbits. God makes the worst things work for the best to the good. Our weaknesses may be heaven's invitations to find strength. It's a poor kind of progress that owes its pace to the devil's pushing. Put "perhaps" in His promises and you take all power out of your piety. He cannot encourage this world who thinks only of good cheer for himself. People who wear a sugar-coating on the street take it off when they get home. When the church gives the world men the world will give the church money. Culture is not Christianity; but that is not Christianity which does not result in culture. Some men think the only reason it doesn't rain is because they have forgotten to thunder. EYE ON THE MAIN CHANCE. Uffititarian Ideas of an Ingenious Boarding-House Young Man. Boarding-House Young Man. A Kansas City young man, who has a very large circle of acquaintances, has been the subject of considerable comment among his immediate friends on account of the number of young women to whom he had deposited himself within the space of a few months, and the rapidity with which he had switched from one to another. But now the secret is out. In a moment of confidence he admitted to a friend in a conversation regarding the latest object of his devotion, who was not regarded as having any especial degree of attraction by other members of her set, that the principal reason for his attachment for her was that he needed somebody to darn his socks, and found that she could do a better job along that line than any other girl of his acquaintance. At the present time repairs to his hostel seemed to him to be an especially urgent need. Hence his selection of the girl to whom his particular attentions should be paid. This confession caused a suspicion in the minds of his confidant that all of his various attachments might have been of a similar utilitarian nature, and when the charges were laid against the object of the suspicion he quite readily admitted them all, with the sole proviso that the truth of the matter be not allowed to reach the ears of any of the girls concerned. It hasn't as yet, and is not likely to, unless they should happen to recognize their friend as the hero of this story. During the fine months of the early spring and early summer his chosen Dulcinea was a young woman who happened to have a particularly swell turnout, in which he was, of course, nor constant companion on the boulevards and drives. This was extremely satisfactory until some other interest presented itself, which the companionship of another girl might better satisfy. In another affair of an earlier date the attraction was the extremely good cookery at the young woman's home, to which he was, of course, asked frequently for meals. And that constituted no small attraction to a youth who was accustomed to boarding-house fare of the regulation sort, and to whom a square meal once in a while was almost a godsend. Along before horse show time the recipient of his affections was a young woman whose papa always had a box for the entire week. In which he expected to shine at that time. These are the solutions which his friends have worked out since his recent confession, and they insist that if time were taken to unravel his whole record an almost unlimited number of similar episodes would be revealed.—Kansas City Journal. Sue Brette—What did you order when young Richley took you out to dinner? De Tanque—Guzzler hasn't been around lately. I wonder if anything is wrong with him? O'Soane—I'm afraid so.

Sra tniricapapaialapr eine eas AONE N, ACTA ion tad et eae greatly to be congratulated on the com- ing to this city of the North Bank rail- road, work on which is being pushed as rapidly as possible. Mr. James J. Hill is the world’s greatest railroad builder and country developer, and his construction of this line is literally worth millions of dollars to this city, and this fact ought to be appreciated by all its people. Portland and the rest of Oregon are especially to be congratulated on this very important event because of the way the atate has been held back and milked and imposed on for these many years by the Harriman system. Harri- man has been a veritable dog in the manger here in Oregon. While mak- ing millions out of Oregon traffic he has always done just as little as possi- ble for Oregon, and he would permit nobody elee to do anything. He had Oregon bottled up, and treated its peo- ple with eupreme contempt, as if they were a lot of yahoos fit only to be plun- dered. It was only when Mr. Hill broke loose from the division-of-terri- tory understanding and began in dead earnest to build down the Columbia and invade Harriman “territory” that the latter got busy and began to doa little railroad building that ought to have been done ten or twenty years ago. He has tried to impede and ha- rass Mr. Hill in his work of building into Portland in every possible way and 20 has deservedly earned the ill will of all the people of this city, and as soon as the new liae is completed into Port- land it ought to be patronized whenever possible, to the eaclusion of the Harri- man lines. The Harriman policy has been an incalculable injary to Oregon. Washington has nearly twice as many people and as much wealth as Oregon, and is growing much more rapidly principally because of the difference in policy between Hill and Harriman. While the latter was an incubus on Oregon, Mr. Hill was developing Wash- ington and other portions of the north- ‘ern tier of states, encouraging produc- “tion and creating a great volume of trade and commerce. Owing largely to ‘Mr. Hill’e progressive and liberal pol- icy Seattle has increased much faster than Portland, and has at last about overtaken this city, while Tacoma and Spokane have grown to cities nearly half Portland’s size. If we had hada Hill instead of a Harriman in Portland and Oregon during the past 20 years, Portiand would have been a city of 250,000 inhabitants, instead of being ‘one of not over 150,000. The emall caliber of the Harriman management was illustrated recently where its agent here declined to do business in the customary way with The New Age, because it had ventured on afew occasions mildly to criticiee that system and compliment its rival, and these editorial utterances of this Paper were bronght forth as a reason for declining to furnish the manager of this paper with the usual transporta- tion for value received. We care noth- ing about this, and can pay our fare if obliged to travel on the Harriman lines, but if the management of that road supposes that it can control the editorial utterances of The New Age, or cause it to suppress criticiem that ‘ought to be made, on account of a few paltry dollars’ worth of transportation for advertising, it has entirely mistaken us. It would be a pretty state of affairs if the papers of the country were ‘to be subsidized in any euch a manner, and their columns closed to any deeerv- ed eriticiams becauee of a little patron- age. This is not that sort of a paper, and cannot be thus cheaply bought or influenced. By the way, since thie railroad eys- tem has always been an enemy of this state and city negatively at least, why should it be permitted to use Fourth street perpetually without paying ary- thing for the privilege? The franchise granting the old Oregon road right o way along that street ought to be re- voked, and ifthe company is allowed to use the street at all it should be ‘only on the payment of a very substan _ tial franchise tax. Portland nor Ore ‘gon owes thie railroad system no favors for this big privilege that it enjoys * it ought tobe made to pay. We do not eay this in any spiteful spirit but as a true and timely proposition, with which every reasonable man will agree. END OF CAMPAIGN. everybody, and particularly the candi- dates, are glad of it. There is no rea- son to doubt that, with one or possibly two exceptions, Oregon wiil go Repub- lican by a very large majority, though it is not reasonably to be expected that Roosevelt's majority of 43,000 will be reached by any candidate who has a Democratic opponent. As to the vote for United States sen- ator, the result will be in doubt until the votes are counted, because nobody can gauge the size of the slump away from Bourne. That it will be heavy nobody doubts but that it will be heavy ‘enough to defeat him is rather improb- able. This would require about 15,000 Republican votes to go to Gearin, which cannot be expected, though a good many experienced observers would not be much surprised if Gearin should win out, and a whole lot of Republi- ‘cans would not be at all sorry if he did. But cuppose he should? It is con- ceded on all hands that the next legis- lature will be overwhelmingly Repub- lican, and euch a legislature is not likely to elect a Democratic senator, even if Gearin should beat Bourne at the polls. Some Republican members who signed statement number one might vote for him; but not enough of them, in all probavility to elect. More likely come new Rebuplican candidate would appear and capture the prize, unless Mr. Bourne still persisted in. his candidacy, in which case there would be a fine prospect of a deadlock lasting throughout the session. If, however, Mr. Bourne wins next Monday, it is to be preeumed that the legislature will elect him and he will have attained the prize for which he has in devious way ‘struggled so long. Governor. Chamberlain, as all Repub- licans concede, will get quite a good many Republican votes, and on the other hand will lose quitea lot of Dem- cocratic votes, and we do not believe, in spite of Democratic claims, that he can be elected. The case is very different now from what it was four years ago, when nearly the whole Simon wing of the party supported him, eecretly if not openly, Many of the men who fought Furnieh then are cordially if not enthu- sinstically supporting Withycombe ‘now, the party is pretty well united, there is no very serious and well defin- ed split or bolt, and eo it seems very improbable that the governor can win out again. Prof. Withycombe is recog: nized as a capable, worthy man, who obtained the nomination at the hands of the people fairly and squarely and on his merits, and not ¢0 many Repub licans as some Democrats imagine are going back on him. even if they think Chamberlain a “good fellow’ in his way. As to the rest of the ticket, state and county, with the exception of sheriff, the Republicans will win by very large majorities. The only other possible exception is in the office of county judge, in which ease Van Zante will make eome inroads on Judge Webster’e political domain, owing to several causes, but probably not enough to se- riously endanger the latter’s chances. Judge Hailey will poll considerably more than bis party vote, but his case seems hopeless. Benson and Steel and Crawford and Ackerman and Daniway will go in with very large majorities, and first-class officers they will make. There will be no chance for any Democrat to be elected to the legisla- ture in this county and there will be bata few scattering ones from other counties. The only Democrat that a real hopefal fight will be made for in this county is Sheriff Word, and he will almost surely be elected, though ‘Van Zante’s friends are active and claim to be hopefal. Next week we can tell better, however, and a}! about why it happened. <i Sere A Cr LER Ae ‘The usual claims and predictions are being made on both sides, especially as to governor. Chamberlain's toaters claim he will carry all sections of the state outside of Portland and this city as well, and be elected by from 5,000 to 10,000 majority, while Mr. Withy- combe’s supporters pooh at there claims, and tay that he will caéry Maltnomah county by 5,000, and every other section of the state besides, and be elected by from 10,000 to. 20,000 majority. Both can’t be right, and probably neither is at all cenfident of the result it predicta. The New Age is making no positive predictions, but still. believes that Mr. Withycombe will be elected by a sub- stantial majority. ‘There is no vind’c- tive, bitter, active opposition to him, ‘as there was to Furnish four years ago. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON All the leading Republicans are eup- porting him cordially, and many of them are out on the stump for him, Chamberlain will get quite a lot of votes cf Republicans because they know and like bim personally, but none be- cause of hatred or active opposition to Withycombe. Nobody has any grudge against the latter, as many had against Furnish. Besides, a considerable frac- tion of Democrats will vote against the governor, for one reason or another, and he certainly can’t afford to lose any Democratic votes. ‘The New Age hopes Portland Repub- licans will give Mr. Withycombe a big majority. He deserves it, because he isa good, clean, capable man, fairly nominated by the people. He bas never been a factionist, never a distur- ber, never had any grudges to pay or revenges to wreak, has always been a Joyal Republican, an extraordinarily useful citizen, and in every respect is worthy of and entitled to Republicans’ votes. This county is Repubilean by 6,000 or 7,000 ptroality, and with the excep- tion of the office of sheriff it ought to give Mr. Withycombe nearly that much plurality. ‘There is no good reason for scratching him and voting for his Dem- ocratic opponent, even if in some re- spects he has made a (airly good gover. nor. Withycombe may make quite ae good a governor or even better. He ought to carry Portland by a large ma- jority. MR. GOODE, PRESIDENT. The investment ‘in Portland and vi- cinity recently of several millions cf dollars capital in existing street and rural railways and projected electric lines is. a good thing ‘or Portland and all the adjacent country. It means rapid development on a large scale. Portland itself is pretty well supplied with street railways, and the 0. & W. P.R.R. hae invaded the country to and beyond Oregon City and southeast- erly to Estacada, but the great, broad, fertile Willamette valley hae till aow laid neglected, though for years past offering a tempting field for the invest- ment of capital in this way. There should be, and in the near future will be, not only one but several roads ex- tending through the Willamette valley and connecting all the principal tewns, on both sides of the Willamette. These eastern capitalists perceive the fine op- portunity here, and will improve it. They haye unlimited capital at com- mand, and believe that they can find no better use for it, which is encourag- ing and helpful to Western Oregon. Theee capitalists bave made an un- doubteily wiee selection in choosing Mr. H. W. Goode as the executive head of thie great eystem of urban and rural railways. He ie a man of very great executive ability, as has been shown in his presidency of the General Electric company and of the Lewis and Clark fair, He is thoroughly familiar with conditions here, in all respecte, and has the utmost confidence of all the people of this region. He has lived among us a long time, has occupied po- sitions of great responsibility, has had many very important and onerous du ties to perform, and has always per- formed them well and ratisfactorily not only to his asrociates and employes but to the general public. The New Age ie pleased to see Mr. Goode thus promot ed and his ephere of usfeulnees enlarg- ed, and predicts that under his man- agement the existing and projected roads will be very successful, and pro- fitable to their owners as well as of great advantage to the people. ONE DEMOCRAT. In one place Republicans need make no apology for scratching a name on their ticket and voting for a Democrat, not that the Republican candidate is not a good man, but because the Demo- eratic candidate has made 0 good a record that he ought in the interest of the public as well as in justice to bim- eelf to he given another term. A good sheriff ought to be permitted to serve a second term at least, whatever his poli. ties, and Sheriff Word is no exception to the rule. Indeed, it applies with unusual force in hie case, for he has done what no sheriff of this county ever dared to do, and desired to do be- fore. He broke up public gambling, for which he deserves the gratitude of 99 out of every 100 of the people, and he allowed no graft in his office, which entitles him to the eupport of taxpayers and honest men througbont the county régardlees of politics.

MUCH TO BE DONE. Many Measures to Come Before the Senate and House. Washington, May 29.—The senate is counting on a busy week and the pros- pect is favorable to long work days and tew interruptions. There are two ap- propriation bills ready for considera- tion, and the sea level canal bill, bav- ing been made the unfinished business, will be pressed as steadily as circum- stances will permit. In addition, con- ferees will be appointed on the railroad rave bill; the nomination of Mr. Parnes to be postmaster of the city of Wash- ington will receive attention, and the bill declaring a policy in the matter of the purchase of Panama canal supplies will be considered. The eenate manifests a disposition to devote serious consideration to the ca- nal type bill. ‘The general pian is to press the con- sideration of the appropriation bills as speedily ae possible. The postoffice and naval bills will be ready for considera- tion early in the week, but it ie not yet decided which will be given preference. Both will present features that will arouse debate, and it is a foregone con- clusion that eepecial attention will be given to the provision in the navsi bill for a new monster warship. / Conference reports on the agricul- ‘tur: 1 and legislative appropriation bills will probably be made before the close of the week. The canal sapply bill will be debated ‘at some length, and Senator Rayner will be among those to be bard on that mearure. Work on the eund-y civil appropria- tion bill will begin in the house thie week. This bill is larger and carries more money than any preceding sundry civil act. The aggregate will be in the neighborhood ‘of $90,000.000. There will bea great demand on the part ot ‘members to make speeches relating to items alfecting their particular home districts, and Chairman Tawney esti- ‘mates that it will require fully a week ‘to consider and pass the bill. | The controversy between the pure food and immigration bills will follow the disposition of the netaralization bill. It is planned that no adjournment willbe tuken for the observation of Decoration day, Wednesday. The Democratic filibuster to empha- size to the country that no progress is ‘apparent, on the statehood agreement is consuming considerable time in the house. Rollcalle to determine the presence of a quorum have begun each day’s cession, with few exceptions, and Minority Leader Williams announces his intention, encouraged by a “round robin’’ from his colleagues, to continue these methods, The statehood con- ferees announce that an agreement on that measure is in eight and may be reached during the week. 1 HENRY WEINHARD’S BREWERY Manufacturers and Bottlers of the Well Known Brands of Lager Beer “EXPORT ” “ KAISERBLUME ” | “ COLUMBIA” IN KEGS AND BOTTLES Trade and Families Supplied Brewery and Office BURNSIDE & 13th STS.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constituting a condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and the inflammation can result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. OLD Favorites Two Lovers. Two lovers by a moss grown spring, They leaned soft cheeks together there; Mingled the dark and sunny hair, And heard the wooing thrushes sing. O, budding time! O, love's best prime! Two, wedded, from the portal stept, The bells made happy carolings. Two faces o'er a cradle bent, Two hands above the breast were locked; These press each other while they rocked. Then watched a life that love had sent. O, solemn hour! O, hidden power! Two parents by the evening fire; The red light fell above their knees On heads that rose by slow degrees. Like buds upon the lily spire. O, patient life! O, tender strife! The two still sat together there; O, vanished past! The red light shone upon the floor And made the space between them wide; They drew their chairs up side by side; The pale cheeks joined and said "once more." O, memories! As a Beam O'er the Waters. As a beam o'er the face of the waters may glow While the tide runs in darkness and coldness below. So the cheek may be tinged with a warm sunny smile, Though the cold heart to ruin runs darkly the while. One fatal remembrance, one sorrow that throws Its bleak shade alike o'er our joys and our woes, To which life nothing darker or brighter can bring, For which joy has no balm and affliction no sting— Oh! this thought in the midst of enjoyment will stay, Like a dead, leafless branch in the summer's bright ray; The beams of the warm sun play round it in vain. It may smile in his light, but it blooms not again. WORLD'S SUPPLY OF PINS. Complicated Machine Has Greatly Simplified the Manufacture. Though the demand for pins the world over is enormous, the mills of the United States practically supply the entire demand, says the New York Herald. Formerly pins were expensive, but now they cost a mere trifle. In 1905 the 75,000,000 people in the United States used 60,000,000 gross of common pins, which is equal to 9,500-, 900,000 pins, or an average of about 126 pins for every man, woman and child in the country. This is the highest average reached anywhere in the use of pins. Ten years ago we used only about seventy-two pins each. In a single year the total number of pins manufactured in the United States was 68,889,260 gross. The total number of pins manufactured in the United States during 1900, the census year, was 68,889,260 gross. There are forty-three factories in all, with 2,353 employees. The business has grown rapidly during the last twenty years, for although there were forty factories in 1880 they produced only half as much employed only about half the capital and only 1,077 hands. There has been a considerable increase in the number of women and children employed in pin factories of late years, which is an indication that the machinery is being improved and simplified and that its operation does not require so high an order of mechanical skill. Hooks and eyes are a by-product of plimaking and are produced at most of the factories from material that will not do for pins. The output of hooks and eyes in 1900 was 1,131,824 gross. The automatic machines which turn out pins and hooks has minimized the cost of their manufacture till the cost is practically only that of the brass wire from which they are made. A single machine does the whole business. Cols of wire, hung upon reels, are passed into machines which cut them into proper length and they drop off into a receptacle and arrange themselves in the line of a slot formed of two bars. When they reach the lower end of the bars they are seized and pressed between two dies, which form the heads, and pass along into the grip of another steel instrument which points them by pressure. They are then dropped into a solution of sour beer, whirling as they go, to be cleaned, and then into a hot solution of tin, which is also kept revolving. They here receive their bright coat of metal and are pushed along, killing time, until they have had an opportunity to harden, when they are dropped into a revolving barrel of bran and sawdust, which cools and polishes them at the same time. America imported $418,004 worth of ordinary needles, most of them from England, last year. Hairpins and safety pins and other kinds of pins are manufactured in a similar manner. We made 1,189,104 gross of hairpins in 1890. Both needles and hairpins are manufactured to a greater extent in Europe than plain pins. Safety pins, however, are decidedly American, and of these we make on an average 1,000,000 gross a year.

INJURY TO WATCH FROM FALL Molsture Bad for Timepieces—Breaking of a Spring. "Do many persons allow their watches to fall?" recently asked a customer of a well-known jeweler. "Half of those brought in for repair have suffered in that way," was the reply; "it is the most frequent accident. Accidents of this kind happen most frequently to men, on account of their having the watch attached to a fob. The number of watches injured by falls increases when this fashion comes in, and it declines when the mode of attaching watches is in vogue. But there are many other ways of allowing watches to fall." "Who handle their watches most carefully, men or women?" "I cannot say, but women are more accustomed to attach their watches to their clothing or to a chain worn around the neck, so that they are in less danger of falling." "Girls are more careful than boys, and their watches fall less frequently. Some boys will allow a watch to fall three or four times a day; others seem to play with it as with a football." "Does a fall always harm a watch?" "Most assuredly, and a little fall may be as injurious as a great one. Moisture is very bad for a watch; at times it penetrates where it could scarcely be expected. More than once a caressing father, who has allowed his child to play with his watch, finds that it begins to rust. The breath of the child has affected it, or perhaps it has been taken into the mouth. A frequent case for repair is the breaking of the spring, which will happen to the most careful person."—Horological Review. Bridge Has Longest Span. There is now under construction across the St. Lawrence at Quebec a cantilever bridge which when completed will contain the longest span of any bridge yet erected, not even excluding the great cantilevers of the Forth bridge in Scotland. The structure is of the cantilever type, and consists of two approach spans of 210 feet each, two shore arms, each 500 feet in length, and a great central span, 1,800 feet in length. The total length of the bridge is 4,200 feet, and although in extreme dimensions it does not compare with the Firth of Forth bridge, which is about one mile in total length, it has the distinction of having the longest span in the world by ninety feet, the two cantilevers of the Forth bridge being each 1,710 feet in length. The total width of the floor is eighty feet, and provision is made for a double-tracked railway, two roadways for vehicles and two sidewalks. In a cautilever of this magnitude the individual members are necessarily of huge proportions, the main posts, for instance, being 325 feet in length, and each weighing 750 tons. Spoke Apache. "When I was serving my time as 'house' on the surgical side at Dunning," said an active physician, "the county sent a man over to us to have a badly cracked skull patched up. The patient's card was a blank except for the one detail of the injury. Just what nationality the man might be none of us could imagine. When we had lifted the piece of bone that was pressing on the brain he made an address ten minutes long, and not one word could anybody comprehend. During his recovery he must have been seen by 100 visitors first and last, and no one could understand a word he said. One day we had an army surgeon visiting us who was going to show us an operation that was his particular stunt. After the operation we showed him through the wards. As soon as he came near our convalescent mystery the patient began his customary address. You can imagine our surprise when the Colonel began to jabber back. It then was learned that our patient was an Apache, the jetsam of some Wild West or medicine show." How the Kaifr Smoker "The Kafirr smokes on his stomach," said a tobaccoist, "using the earth for a pipe. This benighted savage, when the tobacco hunger seizes him, selects a piece of clayey soil about a foot square, and puts a curved twig therein, so that both ends stick out. Then he builds a fire over the place, and when the fire has sufficiently hardened the clay, he draws out the twig, and a channel, a kind of pipe stem, is left. One end of the channel he hollows into a bowl. The other end is his mouthpiece. He puts his tobacco in the bowl, drops a live coal on top, and lying down, falls to. The Kafirr sucks away vigorously, and very black and strong are the fumes that enter his large mouth. He will not use an ordinary pipe. He likes his own way of smoking best. He is, I suppose, the only smoker whose pipe is the earth." —St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The average man has more respect for a thief than a deadbeat. And thieves are not held in high esteem. Any man who is completely wrapped up in himself is a bundle of conceit. QUEER STORIES One of the largest works of man's hands is the artificial lake, or reservoir, in India, at Rajputana. This reservoir, said to be the largest in the world, known as the great tank of Dhebar, and used for irrigating purposes, covers an area of twenty-one square miles. A novel excuse for stealing was given in Bucharest the other day. A woman was charged with the larceny of twelve cases of silver. Said the judge: "Come, tell us the truth." Said the woman: "The truth, my good judge, is that I have not been able to resist the temptation. Consider, your Honor—they all bore my initials." Huge stone slabs suitable for sidewalk construction are seldom encountered in France, and asphalt walks are equally rare. The popular material is a cement block, which is cheap, durable and satisfactory. These blocks are made in a variety of shapes and colors, and in their more expensive forms are much used in interior work. Professor Shipley, in a lecture at the Working Men's College, St. Pancras, dealt with the relation of files to disease. In tropical lands the mosquito and tsetse fly were responsible for malaria and yellow fever, while at home he had no doubt the common house fly, by dropping into milk and food, caused much of the diarrhea suffered by children in summer, and thereby increased the infantile mortality. The English papers tell a story of a simple minded curate who was invited to London to spend a week at a great house. The curate, ignorant of society, asked advice of a man of the world, who told him how he should conduct himself, and wound up with the words: "I think, too, you had better take a servant with you." "I will," said the curate, and in due time the poor fellow arrived at the residence of his host with some modest luggage and a housemaid. There has been almost a revolution in Elliehausen, a little village near Gottingen, Germany, over an order forbidding any young, unmarried man to escort a young woman on the streets after dark. This order was the work of the deputy town clerk, who is not a ladies' man, and had been made the butt for ill natured jokes. He thought he saw an opportunity for revenge when the reins of power came temporarily into his hands. But his action has cost him his place. The London milkmen have a cow whose function corresponds to the "Sitzredakteur," prison editor of the German press. When a milkman is arrested for selling below legal grade he is entitled to summon his cow to his defense and have her milked before the judge, and so prove that the poor milk was the cow's fault. Many milkmen have erased fines in this way of late, and recently it was discovered that there was one cow which was famous for her bad milk that could be hired for court purposes. MODERN DEVIL-WORSHIP Grotesque and Horrible Practices Still Observed in Europe Still Observed in Europe. Vance Thompson in Everybody's makes the following remarkable revelations: "The dark forces which science recognizes but does not define exercise marvelous attraction on minds of a certain order. In scores of temples they are worshiped under different names. I know a little temple in Bruges where the followers of Lucifer gather, and not far from the Pantheon in Paris there is an altar to Pandemonon. This may seem grotesque; perhaps it is, but it is formidable. "It need hardly be said that the rites wherewith Lucifer is worshiped are hid in much mystery. A couple of years ago I visited one of the 'chapels;' it was in the Rue Rochechouart. The black mass, which I have no desire to describe, was celebrated. It was Friday at 3 o'clock. Over the altar was a winged figure of Lucifer, amid flames; he trampled under foot a crocodile—symbol of the church. A few days ago I found the chapel closed. Only after patient research did I find the new abode of the Satanists. Their chapel now is in a great new apartment house at No. 22 Rue du Ruisseau, within the shadow of the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart on Montmartre. As of old, Satan is worshiped; every Friday the Luciferians gather. I could name many of them—men not unknown in the learned professions. Some of them have influence enough to secure, now and then, a right of midnight entry to the catacombs; there amid skulls and bones, with orgles I do not care to describe, they have worshiped the spirit of evil—calling upon Baphomet, upon Lucifer and Beezelebub and Ashtoroth and Moloch, with cries and walling hysteria. This attempt to re-establish the worship of the fallen archangel is, I think, the most remarkable manifestation of modern occultism." Stanch Affection.
