Portland Capital, $500,000 STATE OF OREGON 1859 RTLAND, OREGON, SATURDAY NEWS OF THE WEEK PORTLAND, OREGON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17. 1906. In a Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Event of the Past Week. The government has begun a suit to dissolve the Standard Oil company. A San Francisco grand jury has indicted Ruef and Schmitz for extortion. Both pacties in Colorado are resolved to work for the repeal of woman suffrage. The Southern Pacific will add a third through train between Portland and San Francisco. The high water wrecked the warehouse of the Western Idaho Sugar company at Nampa. Two were killed and two others are dying as a result of a battle with robbers in San Francisco. Japanl has just launched a battleship of 19,000 tons. It is equal and perhaps superior to anything afloat. Three Americans and six Mexicans were killed by a premature explosion of dynamite at Douglas, Arizona. Finland authorities have seized about 5,000 rifles and 118,000 cartridges intended for Russian revolutionists. All railroads in the United States are ready to give employees a raise of 10 per cent in order to prevent trouble at the present time. President Roosevelt has nearly reached Panama. Witte has returned to Russia and will visit the czar. Attorney General Moody has ordered a rigid enforcement of the eight-nour law. It is probable a force of 1,000 marines will be kept in Cuba for some time. Philadelphia Jews will honor the late John Hay by placing a memorial window in their synagogue. The Chicago city attorney accuses the Pullman company of bripping judges, congressmen and other officials. A desperate battle with knives between soldiers at Cheyenne to settle an old fued placed five men in the hospital. The fortiest annual session of the National Grange, held at Denver, declared for parcels post and national good roads. A desperate negro at Asheville, N.C., shot and killed four men in a successful attempt to escape arrest. Armed men are searching for him. Secretary Metcalf has expressed the opinion that the treaty between the United States and Japan guarantees education to Japanese children in our public schools without discrimination. Cuban liberals are divided on account of friendship with America. A new plague has caused 12 deaths in a small Texas town, and doctors are unable to control it. It is reported that King Alfonso of Spain has been assassinated, but the report cannot be verified. Wireless messages state that the presidential party is off the Florida coast and enjoying fine weather. The wrecking of the Milwaukee Avenue bank of Chicago was re enacted on the stage in Chicago and nearly caused a riot. Scientists have made arrangements with the Italian government to complete the excavation of the ancient Roman city of Herculaneum. The Forestry bureau of the United States has failed in its efforts to compel the railroads to use oil for fuel on engines passing through forest reserves. It now develops that the Standard Oil company, aided by the railroads, did their best to defeat Hoch for governor Hoch received a majority of over 2,000 The boiler of a Southern Pacific passenger enginie exploded at Sarvea, a small station in Southern California, killing two persons and wrecking the depot and four cars. Hearst may get the mayoralty of New York. Idaho land fraud trials will begin soon at Moscow. An American consul has been opened at Mukden. Cuban liberals are making trouble for Governor Magoon. All the provincial governors of the republic of Panama will meet Roosevelt. MUCH DAMAGE REPORTED. Floods in Oregon and Washington Destroy Homes and Bridges. Castle Rock, Wash., Nov. 16. — The Cowlitz river has become a raging torrent, carrying houses, barns, logs and other drift down in the flood. Many families are homeless and have saved but few belongings from their ruined homes and are temporarily quartered with friends on higher ground. The Northern Pacific bridge across the Cowlitz at Olequa is washed out. The town of Castle Rock is in a state of chaos. Electric lights are out because of the flood. The town marshal has closed the saloons to add to the public safety. The people are meeting the situation in a philosophic way and are not becoming panic stricken. North Yakima, Wash., Nov. 16. — After falling slightly the Yakima and Naches rivers are again rising and the damage to property of all kinds is growing worse. All communication with the outside by rail is cut off. Every county bridge in the valley is under water and the city is isolated from the surrounding country. The fears of the people are that the Naches river may change its course and come down the old river bed to the west of the city. If this happens the damage will be inestimable, as the best fruit orchards and some of the finest homes in the valley lie direct in its course. Wenatchee, Wash., Nov. 16.—The flood still rages unabated. Added to the destruction by the rain and water, the wind is blowing. The damage done by the flood between Cashmere and Wenatchee, in the Wenatchee valley, cannot be estimated at the present time, but it will be heavy. The Wenatchee and the Columbia rivers are higher than they have ever been before. The former is eight inches higher than its former record. Portland, Nov. 16.—Streams throughout the state which have been swollen by the recent rain storms and the Chinook wind in the mountains are thought to have reached their highest point. Some have commenced to fall and the Williamette was stationary last night. It is probable that the river at Portland will commence to fall today. Except along the lower Columbia, the danger from high water is thought to be over in Oregon. Money Sent Mayor Schmitz Is Not Accounted For. San Francisco, Nov. 16.—The Chronicle says today: A new investigation is progressing in the course of developments in the local graft scandal. It now appears that many sums of money, large and small, that were sent from different states to Sam Francisco for the relief of the sufferers from the calamity never reached the relief committee. Some of these amounts, which aggregated a large sum, were mailed to the care of Mayor Schmitz. F. J. Heney, Detective William Burns and about 100 government agents have been making an investigation. President Roosevelt is the moving spirit behind the inquiry, and he declares that no man guilty of diverting the relief funds shall escape justice. The cases come within the jurisdiction of the Federal authorities because of the interstate character of the postal service, which, it is alleged, was criminally tampered with. A considerable sum of money was also sent through the express companies and Wells-Fargo, which companies are now investigating the disappearance of $10,580 sent in one package from the citizens of Searchlight, Nev., which the relief committee says it never received, and which the company says was delivered to the representative of the committee to whom it was addressed. The crime of forgery is said to be included in the offense of the raiders of the relief contributions. It is said that in the aggregate the stealings will amount to $1,000,000. Ottawa, Ont., Nov. 16.—The Canadian commission reports that substantial preferences are given to Canadian goods over those of the United States in the new tariff adopted by New Zealand. On many classes the tariff on United States goods will be 20 or 30 per cent above that on Canadian goods. On bicycles, gas and oil engines, gum boots, printing paper, railways and tramways, sail cloth, canvas, surgical and dental instruments United States products will be taxed a duty of 20 per cent while the Canadian products will enter free. Total Wealth of United States. Washington, Nov. 16.—The total wealth of the country in 1904 was $106,881,415,000, according to figures issued by the census bureau today. In 1890 the total wealth was $65,037,091.—197; in 1800, $88,528,348,798. RELIEF FUND IS LOOTED. New Zealand Favors Canada. White, Stuck and Green Rivers Drive Farmers From Homes. SMALLER TOWNS UNDER WATER Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railroads Tied Up—Three Lives Are Lost Seattle, Nov. 15.—Floods in the White, Stuck and Green rivers, which began Tuesday night, have swept away miles of railroad trackage, inundated all the valley towns, rendered hundreds of farmers homeless and cost three lives up to date. Until the Western Union last night succeeded in getting a wire to Portland, Seattle was entirely cut off from the outside world by either railroad or telegraph lines. The telephone company kept up two lines, but this was the only means of communication Seattle has had. The three men lost in the floods were drowned while fighting to break up log jams that threatened railroad and county bridges. It will be two weeks before the Northern Pacific is able to resume regular train operations. The Great Northern is tied up for a shorter period, for trouble on that road is due to an avalanche of mud that swept out a portion of track. Auburn, Kent, O'Brien, Renton, Oriellia and half a dozen smaller towns in the valleys of three rivers are under water. Residents of O'Brien were compelled to abandon their homes and flee to the hills. At Kent a raging torrent is running through the town and Auburn will suffer extensive damages unless the waters recede immediately. The 50 employees of the Denny Renton Clay works plant at Renton were cut off by the flood and had to remain cooped up in the warehouse until they could be rescued by boats. FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS. A national congress of American commercial bodies interested in the development of internal waterways and harbor improvements will meet in Washington on the sixth and seventh of December. Oregon will be represented by a delegation from the Portland chamber of commerce. The purpose of the congress is mainly to prevail upon the United States authorities to pass a measure calling for an appropriation of fifty millions annually for river and harbor improvement. Even should such a measure pass it would still be but a fraction of what other great nations are expending annually upon their waterways. The movement is a national expression of the knowledge that water competition is the one great cheapener of railroad freight rates—railways that compete with rivers for traffic do not pay extravagant dividends upon watered stock. In those sections of the country wherein the railroads are compelled to carry freight in competition with river craft the rates are from one-third to one-sixth of those ruling where water competition is not a factor. It is told of a cotton section in Texas that the canalizing of a very insignificant stream so as to be available for flat bottomed canal boats, lowered the freight rates so radically as to make a saving to a small community of three million dollars annually. As a matter of fact the canalized stream carried but a small percentage of the traffic upon which this large saving was effected, but the fact that the stream was available for traffic compelled the railways to meet the water competition. The Rivers and Harbors congress will discuss the improvement of the Oregon and Washington waterways and the removal of obstructing bars at the entrances of the harbors and will seek to impress upon the congress of the nation the importance of these improvements to the farming and mercantile population. Commend Teaching System. New York, Nov. 15.—After two days' inspection, the English teachers who came here to study United States methods of education have discovered several good ideas which they intend to suggest to the authorities in England. They like our system of medical inspection, our law which requires children between the ages of 14 and 15 years to attend evening schools if they work in the daytime, our discipline, which they all describe as "easy," and certain features of our kindergarten work. More teachers will arrive this week. General William G. Elv. Norwich, Conn., Nov. 15.—General William G. Ely died suddenly at his home here last night of heart trouble. He commanded the Eighteenth Connecticut volunteers in the Civil war, and was brevetted brigadier general at its close. THE REASON WHY Bourne Should Not Be Elected U. S. Senator The New Age has said before and it now says again that it does not believe that the next legislature will elect J. Bourne, Jr., to the United States senate. It has been said that our opposition to Mr. Bourne is inspired by prejudice, and that we can give no good reason for opposing him since he was regularly named by the republican voters for the office. We opposed Mr. Bourne during the primaries for the reason that we knew him to be unfit for the high office to which he aspired. First—That he is not a loyal and consistent republican. Second—That he is a traitor and political black-leg. Third—That he could not be depended upon to support Roosevelt. If he had been a loyal and consistent republican he would not have deserted his party in the hour of its dire distress, when the blight of Bryanism and populism overshadowed the country in 1906. But as a true and loyal republican would have put self aside and rendered whatever service he could for his party and his republican friends. If Bourne's will had prevailed and Bryan had been elected who can say that there would have been today a strong, invincible republican party in Oregon to honor him for his perfidy. The legislative session of 1895 was the most spectacular in the history of Oregon and the King Pin of that session was J. Bourne Jr., whose malodorous record is even yet a stench in the nostrils of decent people. With a goodly supply of money and other corrupting influences the trick of thwarting the will of the people and debauching the honor of the citizenry was the special mission of this political montebank, who, now, ten short years afterward, has the brazen affrontery to seek this high and honorable position at the hands of the party, whose murder he conspired to bring about. In the light of the past record of Mr. Bourne, who is so unsuspecting as to trust him in the future? Does anyone who knows him, save his hired henchmen, think for a minute that he can be depended upon to stand up for republican principles and policies in the United States senate, and to uphold the hands of life-long, true and tried republican leaders in that body, and to "stand pat" with the party's matchless leader, mose profound stateman, patriot and humanitarian since the days of Lincoln—Theodore Roosevelt.

A Flour Whose Best Endorsement Is the Fact that the Number of People Who Use It Multiplies Every Year Popular Science Modelling in breadcrumbs, which are soaked in liquids of various colors and are made elastic and almost unbreakable by a special process, is the curious new art of Suzanne Meyer, a French woman. The human breath has been found to be a fair conductor of electricity, a spark from a Wimshurst machine being longer in breathed than in pure air. Investigating further, Dufour has concluded that the lung and skin exhalations sensibly increase the leakage from an electrically charged body, and it is suggested that the vapors rising above a flock of sheep or cattle may explain the tendency of lightning to strike the huddled animals. A novel charge is brought against the common bedbug (Climex lectularius) by Dr. W. J. Goodhue, medical superintendent of the Molokai leper settlement, who regards it as a chief agent in spreading leprosy. It is believed to have greater influence than the gnat, for it comes noiselessly, and during the patient's sleep, and bedding among lepers is too little disinfected. After long research Dr. Goodhue has demonstrated the presence of the bacillus of leprosy in the mosquito (Culex pungens) as well as in the bedbug. An ingenious apparatus for drawing the profile of a river bottom is used by Italian engineers. It consists of a wheel affixed to the bottom of a graduated rod, which is fastened vertically at the side of a boat in such a manner that as the boat advances up or down or across stream, the wheel at the end of the rod runs continually upon the bottom, the rod rising and falling with variations of level. By noting the depth at chosen intervals of time, the elements are obtained for tracing an accurate representation of all the sinuosities of the bottom of the river, and the variations of depth. In the saving of time this simple apparatus possesses an enormous advantage over the ordinary method of soundings. Germany has for some time possessed a dozen factories for the liquefaction of carbonic acid gas issuing from the earth in the neighborhood of extinct volcanoes. Last summer a large factory of the same kind was opened near the Puy de Dome, a famous extinct volcano in central France. The liquid obtained by the condensation of these volcanic gases is said to be purer than that produced by solely chemical processes. From an excavation at Algeperse, near the Puy de Dome, the quantity of gas given forth every day is reckoned at about half a million liters. The place is known as the "poison fountain," and the bones of many animals have been found in the excavation, including those of a horse, a bison and a mammoth. According to Cosmos, the employment of circular disks of iron, turning with great velocity, but possessing no teeth on the edge, for sawing metal, has become common in many workshops. Among other places where such saws without teeth are used is the celebrated Krupp gun works, where armor plate is sometimes cut in this manner. The process is not a newly discovered one. As long ago as 1824 Darrier and Colladon, at Genova, experimented with swiftly rotating disks of iron. They found that when a disk about seven inches in diameter turned with a peripheral velocity of ten meters per second, it could be cut with a steel tool pressed against it, but that when the velocity was increased to twenty-one meters per second the iron was unaffected, but the steel tool was damaged. At a velocity of sixty meters per second the iron disk even cut quartz and agate. IN GREAT OCEAN DEPTHS. Some Ravines and Plateaus of the See, Have Been Explored. Sen Have Been Explored. The greatest ocean depths are not in the Atlantic, as the veritable abysses are to be found on the other side of the globe. Close to New Zealand the water attains a depth of five and one-half miles in the Kermadec and Tonga ravines, which in themselves attain a depth of 29,530 feet, while they are separated from each other by a chain of mountains 9,850 feet in height. There is also the Aleutian ravine, which reaches a depth of 23,000 feet. Mostly subaqueous scenery is monotonous; there are no abrupt declivities or precipices; except in the vicinity of the coasts or near islands of volcanic formation, everything being rounded off and smoothed down by the action of the water. Close to the land there is somewhat more varieley. The European plateau slopes gradually away down into the depths and a fair view can be obtained here, provided a maximum depth at 1,300 feet be not exceeded. At first abundant vegetation and animal life are met with, but below the depth mentioned the scene changes; first the light grows dimmer and dimmer and the deeper we descend the lower does the thermometer fall, except in the case of the Mediterranean, where the temperature is, relatively speaking, high, as this sea is contained in what is practically a closed basin. In the Atlantic the temperature of the water was taken for a depth of 19,686 feet. The surface temperature of 68 degrees fell to 38 degrees at a depth of 6,562 feet. After 6,562 feet the temperature falls, but slowly as greater depths are attained, the cold being practically uniform and not subject to any changes of season.—Scientific American.

The Woodburn Independent, a Republican paper, commenting on the increasing opposition among the people to the election of Jonathan Bourne to the senate, and thus carrying out the too common plan of selling the office to the highest bidder, says: "We are confident that the greater portion of the Republican voters of Oregon would applaud the act of a representative who bravely asserted his faith in the constitution of the United States and declared his intention of voting in accordance with the wishes of the majority of the Republican voters of the state. He would be cheered by the majority, who voted against Bourne. He would be praised by all loyal Republicans, who would consider as a blow at the grand old party the election of a man who not long ago deserted that party and McKinley for free silver and Bryan, and who now not only alms to gain a seat in the United States Senate, but seeks also to seat in that body from Oregon another Bryan free silver advocate, W. S. U'Ren. Isn't it time to halt and ponder, and not be so dazzled by the lavish display of gold as to forget for the nonce the vital interests of the Republican party of Oregon?" There is a good deal of good, sober sense in this. The plea is made that it is settled that Bourne is the "choice of the people," of the republican voters of the state, but how many members of the Legislature believe this? How many of them believe that as between him and any one of half a dozen other men that might be named, neither using any money to influence votes, Bourne could get a majority? The proposition is absurd, and legislators know it. But, it is said, they are bound by the result of the primaries and election last spring. Let them be honest and ask themselves, though they may have signed Statement No. 1, if they would have voted for Senator Gearin if he had beaten Bourne at the polls last June? No, they would not; they would easily have found an excuse; they would have said that they had a mental reservation in subscribing to that statement, and meant to confine their votes to a Republican. Yet they could not have done so and kept the strict letter of their promise, if such it was. And they might well have had another mental reservation, that they would vote for the Republican receiving the highest number of votes last April, provided he was a fit man and got the nomination in a fair and square contest with other candidates. This would have been only a fair, proper, sensible mental modification of their pledge, for surely the people do not want to elect an unfit man or one who bought the office. It would be far better to depart from a foolish promise made in the excitement of a campaign, than to keep it by electing such a man. And there is no doubt that a majority of the people would not only forgive a member for using his honest judgment next winter and acting in their interest, but would fully approve such an act. The responsibility finally falls upon the members of the Legislature to do what is best for the people, and they know that this is not likely to be done by electing Bourne, who after all received but a small fraction of the total vote of the state. The law gotten up by Mr. U'Ren did not abrogate the constitution of the United States and of Oregon, and the Legislature is still free to do its duty and bound to do it in the interest of the people, regardless of Mr. U'Ren's law. If a test vote could be taken now throughout the state, on the question whether the senator should be Bourne or some other man, the best one the Legislature could decide on, there can be no doubt that Bourne, spending no money in the contest, would be overwhelmingly defeated. This being the case, it certainly is not the bounded duty of the Legislature to elect him. The people did not really decide last April. It was not a square deal, because Bourne's money was poured out like water to offset the result. It is a principle of law that all contracts tainted with fraud are void, and if it was Bourne's money and not his merits that secured his plurality, the choice was in a sense fraudulent; it was not fair and even, and nobody is bound by it. THE RACE PROBLEM. There is a good deal of foolish talk on the part of Southern statesmen or otherwise prominent men about the solution of what they call the Negro or race problem. Much of it is suggestive of the expatriation of the colored people. Some express a hope that they will mostly move up North after awhile—impelled thereto, we suppose the thought is, by unbearable prescription and persecution. Another brilliant suggestion is that they be sent down to dig the Panama canal as though they could be forced to go to Panama against their will any more than white people—and then if they did go, what would they do after the canal was finished? And how could they all or a large proportion of them be maintained there? But in some way or another they are to be gotten rid of, if possible, for it seems to be conceded that to exterminate them would be too big a job. There are more sensible Southerners, however, who perceive the folly of such schemes and ideas, and also know that the South needs the labor of the Negroes and could not well do without it, even if a good many of them don't work much. The fact is that the colored people have a perfect right to live in the South, or in any other part of the country, the same as white people have, and to the same rights and liberties under the law, and protection by the law, because they are full legal citizens. A good many people who discuss "the Negro problem" seem to assume that the Negro is a creature to be considered as one entirely apart from membership in the human family, as a part of the brute creation or some pestilential plague not to be considered at all except in connection with some means of getting rid of them. People who entertain this sort of idea cannot discuss the matter intelligently. The Negroes must be accepted as a part of the citizenry of the country and treated accordingly. If they violate the laws punish them. Encourage them by all possible means to work, to be industrious and honest and to become independent. But they are not to be exterminated nor expatriated. There is no need of full social equality, and it is not or should not be desired on one side more than on the other. There is no social equality among white people either and no great fuss is made about it. But colored people ought to be accorded their political rights, and encouraged to prize American citizenship by political recognition. Their labor is needed in many ways, and a large proportion of them are capable and willing workers. If both races would behave themselves better and work more and talk less, and each attend to its own business, and recognize others' rights, the "race problem" would soon dwindle into insignificance. PROBABLY NO FRAUD HERE. It maybe that some of the Pendleton men suspected of land-grabbing have secured possession of some pasture lands in such a way that a government agent out for that purpose can find some flaws or fault with them, but it does not appear that Col. Raley or W. J. Furnish or the others have done anything that reasonable men would object to. Nearly, if not quite all, the land that they have acquired, and this only as it seems by lease for ten years, is precipitous, rocky and almost worthless mountain land, good for nothing but pasture and good for but little for that. It is well enough for the government to be watchful to prevent frauds in taking up agricultural lands, though it did not begin to exercise its vigilance till the lands were THE NEW AGE. PORTLAND. OREGON about all gone, but it does not follow that prominent men should be accused of land frauds for furnishing poor settlers with the money necessary to buy these scrub lands, and their renting them for pasture. In this transaction the government was benefited, for it got all the lands were worth, and no body was harmed. Mr. Raley says he will be out of pocket on his leasing speculation, which by the way was not a secret transaction at all, as he informed the department of what he was about and it made no objection, and as to Mr. Furnish, he says he only purchased the amount allowed by law to each individual and complied fully with the law in obtaining title. There has been a good deal of fault found lately with the management of affairs on the Umatilla reservation, and the agent and his favorites in Pendleton have been the objects of considerable criticism, and this attack on Raley and Furnish looks a good deal like revenge and spitework. They are men of too much wealth and too high character to try to acquire lands by fraud, and are men of too good business sense to do so, even if they were so disposed when they knew the government was watching the land business very closely, and when the lands in question were scarcely worth fencing anyway RUCTION AT THE DALLES. The motives and reasons for the resignation of M. T. Nolan, register of the land office at The Dalles, do not all appear on the surface as yet but Hon. M. A. Moody, on whose recommendation Nolan was appointed, has hinted at some of the reasons in a general way and can doubtless go more into detail if he desires. Nolan owed the office entirely to Mr. Moody, but after he was fairly installed in it became, as is intimated, overbearing and disagreeable to the patrons of the office, and it may be surmised showed ingratitude to his benefactor. Mr. Moody stood very high with the administration when he was a member of Congress, as in fact he has done ever since, probably having far more influence at Washington than Williamson ever did even before the indictment, and it may be through Moody's suggestion that Nolan was ordered to make a report concerning certain transactions. He sought to avoid making the report, but on an imperative order from Washington did so, and sent his resignation along with it, the presumption naturally being that he knew the report would involve his dismissal if he did not resign Mention of these matters invites the reflection that it was a great mistake as the New Age said at the time, for the people of this district to defeat Moody and nominate Williamson. Moody had served two terms in Congress and had become influential, and was especially liked by the President, and if kept in Congress till now could have been a great power for Oregon's good; but what has Williamson done? Everybody knows the history of his brief congressional career, and for the last two years or so Oregon has had no representation in the house. The people of this district were never served as ably and well in the house as when Mr. Moody was a member, and are not likely to be served so well for a long time to come. THE STATE PRINTING PLANT. State Printer-elect Duniway is to be congratulated and commended for his determination to buy a complete printing plant for the state house, rather than submit to F. C. Baker's exactions in relation to the plant which he owns and which other state printers have been obliged to use on Baker's terms. The state ought to own its printing plant, and if Mr. Duniway provides one it would be well for the state to take it off his hands if it is what the state needs and Mr. Duniway wishes to sell it. State printers, elected for only four years, providing they are restricted to a fair salary or reasonable amoluments, ought not to be obliged to buy a plant or to rent one owned by a former printer at whatever prise he may choose to charge. The state should provide the plant and then pay the printer a good salary and shut off all grafting. Mr. Duniway knows about, if not quite all, there is to be known about the printing business, and if he gets a plant it will be a good one and he will do nothing but good work. As to the old plant left over from Baker's regime, nobody will shed any tears if he couldn't get enough for it to pay him for hauling it away. He made enough out of the office to satisfy any reasonable man without holding up every state printer as long as he lives and obliging him to pay the price of a new plant, more or less, for the use of Baker's old outfit. President Roosevelt always means right and generally does right, but he is impulsive and sometimes does people an injustice unintentionally, and this was the case when he discharged a whole regiment of colored soldiers for the improper acts of a few of them, and which were no worse than white soldiers often indulge in, and were doubtless much exaggerated by Southern Negrophobists. Labor unions will gain nothing by going into politics, unless they organize to support solidly the candidates that suit them best of the two principal parties. If they try to have a party of their own and put up separate candidates, they will only aid the stronger of these two great parties, as Prohibitionists and Socialists do, and accomplish nothing. For the first time in the history of the United States a President is beyond the confines of the country, but President Roosevelt is a law unto himself and is no great respector of precedents. He will find out all that a man can during the time he stays about the big ditch, and there is likely to be more doing in that quarter hereafter than heretofore. It is reported that Jack Matthews is figuring on trying his hand again at being political boss, especially at Salem next winter, but he doesn't find it very easy to get his hand in again. Times are different from what they used to be. Marlon county as well as Multnomah always claims and nearly always gets one of the presiding officers of the Legislature. But there are other Willamette Valley counties and Southern and Eastern Oregon. In anything like a close election the colored voters hold the balance of power in several states. Yet some people think they are politically good for nothing except to vote the straight Republican ticket. Frank Davey of Marion county seems to be in the lead for speaker of the House, but this is a case where appearances may be deceptive. The Multnomah members are to be consulted. If the state is going to buy any printing plant it should get a new, good one, and reject all overtures to buy the old outfit of Frank Baker's, that he would like to unload. Hasn't he made enough off the state? It is pretty well known that Harriman is about the biggest fraudulent land grabber in the country, or that roads at which he is the head have been, but there is no danger of his being indicted and convicted. There are not over 20 state senators who have more or less hopes of being elected president. It will be something strange if Multnomah county gets neither that office nor the speakership. President Roosevelt has again declared that he would not run for President in 1908. The next best man is sight, in the people's estimation is Taft. Any Republican member will be easily forgiven for ignoring Statement No.1 to the extent of voting for some fit man instead of Bourne for Senator. Nobody is going to worry much about who will be nominated for mayor until after the holidays. Then DRIFTED SNOW FLOUR Tacoma Warehouse and Sperry Mills TACOMA, U. S. A.

SMALLPOX IN PHILIPPINES. Dixease Almost Entirely Eradicated by Vaccination. The records of the bureau of health at Manila show that within the last twelve months 213,000 people have been vyacelnated by officials and many more by private physicians. “When It ts re- membered that Mantia’s population ts not more than 200,000, It ean be under- stood why, in the year ended Dee. 31, 1904, there were only twenty-seven deaths from smallpox. Ten of the twenty-seven were Europeans or Amer- feans who had neglected or avoided vacelnation, says the New York Trib- une. During the Spanish regime a law ex- isted making vaccination compulsory, but the chief good which resulted from the law was that the people became ac- customed to its existence on the statute books and did not greatly object to It or strenously resist its application at the hands of the Americans. In a few provinces difficulties were met. In these enses vaccinators were at once withdrawn and the pueblos left to themselves. Within six months the con- trast between the vaccinated and un- vaccinated pueblos was so marked that the ehfef men of the objecting municl- palities requested the vaccinators to return. As smallpox ts epldemte and pan- demle In the Philippines, the necessity for a division of vaccination In the board of bealth 1s very great. The or- iginal plan was to organize a corps of 350 yacclnators, That number was con- sidered necessary In order to vaceinate the Inhabitants of the Islands within three years. Owing to the depleted. con- dition of the Insular treasury, the com- mission has been unable to authorize the employment of so large a number, ‘and with the small number of men available the question arises whether vaccination will not have to be prac- tleed continuously for many years In or- der to immunize the 6,000,000 Inbablt- ants who are now In those islands and their offspring as it arrives. Smallpox in the Philippines occupted, prior to the advent of the Americans, about the same position In regard to {ts frequency, its mortality and Its preva- lence that It did in Europe prior to the Aiscovery of vaccination, and as was the case In Europe, so In the Philip- pines, It seems to be almost a disease of childhood. The explanation of this is that all natives who have reached adult age were exposed to smallpox in childhood, and those who did not con- tract the disease may be considered {m- mune. Smallpox in Manila Is no longer to be feared, according to the annual re- port of the bureau of health for the Philippine islands, and not so many cases occur In proportion to Its inhab- itants as in the citles of Washington and Baltimore. Cause of Fright. She was a delightfully fresh faved Jassle and clearly from the country dis- tricts, and as she walked up State ‘street more than one man turned to ‘Took at her, expressing the pleasure she ‘gave to him by a frank stare of admiz- ation. Presently the happy look In her eyes changed, of a sudden, to one of sheer horror. With a gasp of alarm she caught her companion by the acm and stood rooted in the middle of the tram. ‘To have seen her face at that ‘moment one would easily have Imagin- ed that she was looking at nothing less horrible than a cold blooded murder. And yet when one spectator who had caught the transformation on her face turned to see what had occasioned tts ‘expression of shock and terror, a!l he ‘saw was the familiar spectacle in a Chicago street of the wheels of one wagon striking another. | Philosophie. “I see that a colored man came out victor In that great prize fight.” “Yes,” answered Col. Stillwell. “And perhaps it Is Just as well. It prevents another story fram being started to the effect that a colored man has been terrorized and coerced.”—Washington Star.

Manufacturers of Carbonated This common affection of childhood—pertussis, the doctors call it—is usually regarded as one of the things a child has to have, and it is supposed that the only thing to do is to put up with it, as with all unavoidable lills, the best one can. The philosophy of this state of mind of mothers is good, but the indifference it sometimes engenders is distinctly bad, so far as it causes the parents to neglect treatment. Whooping cough is often a trivial affair, but it is sometimes fatal; and even when not so, it may pave the way for serious ills by weakening the resisting power of the child to other germ diseases, such as scarlet fever, measles, and especially pneumonia; or the strain of the cough and of the forced holding of the breath may cause a blood vessel in the brain or in the eye to break, with resulting paralysis or blindness, or it may produce a rupture. Fortunately these troubles are rare, but the possibility of their occurrence should be borne in mind. Wooping-cough is a dangerous disease, occurring with greatest frequency in the winter and spring. No age is exempt from its attacks, but about half of the sufferers are babies under two years of age. One attack usually insures safety against any subsequent ones. Owing to its great contagiousness, a child with whooping-cough should be kept away from other children, and should never be carried out in street cars and other crowded places to give the disease to every susceptible child or even adult in its vicinity. The patient must be well wrapped up when outdoors or when getting air by an open window, and the living room should be warm, although well ventilated. The diet should be simple, and food should be given frequently but in small quantities. During the entire course of the disease, even in the mildest cases, the child should be under the constant supervision of the doctor, for the disease may take a bad turn when least expected, and the best way to prevent an evil outcome is to be always on the watch for it. Children with whooping-cough often go through it with but few signs of illness, but care should not be relaxed for this reason, and the mother, nurse, or some adult should be present always to do what little can be done to ease the paroxysms. -Youth's Companion. Making a Machinist. "There is, perhaps, no other trade, and very few professions," writes Wm Haddow in the Technical World Magazine, "that require the high order of intelligence, the study, the application, the real hard-headed common-sense, the surgeon's delicacy of touch—for instance, in fitting of fine work—that the machinist's trade demands to give the excellent work and the interchangeability of parts found in the modern rifle or sewing machine. The range of his work is from a needle to a battleship; from automatic machinery that would talk French had it one more movement' to measuring machines guaranteed not to vary more than the fifty-thousandth part of an inch from the absolute. This precision will perhaps be better appreciated when it is remembered that 150 times this limit of variation is only equal to the diameter of the average human hair. Standard plug and ring gauges, to take a specific example, are so accurately fitted to each other that the expansion due to the warmth of the hand, if the plug be held in it for a few moments, will make it impossible to insert the plug in the ring; while, if the ring be expanded in the same way, the plug will drop clear through it. When the machinist has become skillful enough to fulfill the above requirements, he may receive from $2.50 per day up to whatever he can make himself worth and prove it." How John Hay Regarded Critics. John Hay was chatting about his literary experiences with an intimate friend, when the latter asked: "John, what feature or phase of this writing business has impressed you the most? "Well," was the reply, and the speaker's eyes twinkled mischievously, "so far as I am concerned, it's the things that the critics fish out of a fellow's printed stuff that he never put there. But I suppose that critics, like the rest of us, have to show excuses for living." —Success Magazine. Yes, Alonzo, foul weather sometimes boosts the price of eggs.

A Self-Governing School. An experiment in pupil self-government has been in progress in a village school in Macon county, Mo. In the main room, where the older pupils assemble, the self-governing class gathered about the table and elected its own officers, and the principal used a phonograph to dictate problems, so that the pupils should be relieved entirely of the supervision of the teacher. As the machine was set in motion the pupils copied the problems and discussed or worked out the answers, which were then tabulated by the teacher and turned over to the principal. Not one pupil was returned to the regular classes from failure to keep up with the studies. This year the experiment is to be extended to a number of other districts. New York Hotel for Boys. Under the management of Miss Mary Laidlaw Proudfoot, niece of the late Mrs. Laidlaw, who devoted much money to the helping of poor boys, the first real hotel for homeless boys has just been opened at 835 West Twenty-seventh street, New York City. At the outset there were eight patrons, self-supporting office boys or messengers, and for the remaining six vacancies many applications were on file. The establishment is not to be regarded as a charity. Each boy pays according to his means, and this entitles him to a room of his own. The public, however, is invited to contribute toward the expense fund and larger quarters will probably be secured. An Eleven-Year-Old Freshman. Norbert Weiner, at the age of 11, has entered the freshman class of Tuft college, and is said to be the youngest collegian in the country. He is the son of Leo Weiner, assistant professor of Slavonic languages at Harvard. The boy knew how to read at 3 and was reading Darwin and Huxley at 8. Medical Inspection for Students. According to the School Journal it is estimated that the expense of operating the new inspection law in Massachusetts public schools is about $25 per 1,000 inhabitants, in the larger cities, but that in smaller places where the doctor comes only when sent for the expense is $11 per 1,000. The law authorized the school board of each city or town to appoint a school physician or physicians, and that the sight and hearing shall be tested annually by the teachers.
