From Sa lem clear to Ashland local men are trying to pocket their respec tive delegations and a warm time is promised at the Eugene con- vor.tinn HiiiL'er Hermann is generally conceded to be the strongest candidate for the nomi nation. Among those n.entioned for the Democratic nomination for Presi dent next year, Cleveland and Bryan are perhaps the most talked of and logical candidates. What would be the matter with heading the ticket with Cleveland and giv ing Bryan the" second place. In this way staid old Grover could teach the "Boy orator of the Platte" the political game, and it would have the further effect of bringing all factions together.

This is why Secretary Hay was right in saying that truth fulness and straight out statements of demands are the best diplomacy. In this sense the newspapers are the diplomats of the present age. They keep the people who now largely rule fully informed of and awakened as to existing conditions and needs, and then formulate and give back the demands coming from the awakened desires and . consciences of the people, until the will of the people unites in unre eistible force to the compelling of legislation.

During the last six mouths the work bus perfunctionary and was The news of General Sir Hector MacDonald's suicide, comes as a surprise and shock to those who have watched his career. There are few but who are familiar with his name, as his pirt in the Boer War was a most conspicuous and gallant one, and his ability as i warrior and tactician is not ex celled, if equaled, in the whole British army. That his suicide should come as a relief from a (lis honor, is a matter of regret and his friends are threatening to ex pose a plot whereby he was a vic tim unjustly of the accused crime; for which he had been summoned to appear before a courtmartial. This incident along with the recent hazing incidents and others, go to show that proud Britain has an army organization fraught with favoritism and royal blood and consequently rotten to the core. eastern parts of both Oregon and 'Washington is oney when it comes to interests in common. The port age railway bill passed by Oregon's last legislature will make a present to eastern Washington in the course of a few years of many times the sum vetoed by McBride and anything tending to develope Eastern Ore gon muot necessarily help Eastern Washington and Idaho. There has been no logical explanation advanced why he should veto the bill. Such an appropriation would have gone a long way in perfecting everlasting friendship between the two sister states, and we believe that his action will be deplored by a great majority of Washington's population. Let us hope that Washington will vet provide a suitablo exhibit, and be in line with California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah and all our Western states. The success of the Lewis & Clark Centennial will then be assured. Onk Who Knows M VIillt: ATTACK OF t; 11 II'. Cured bjr Ouo Bottle ol I lutmbi r. lulu's f'OHgta llvnti'il)'. Inspired articles regarding Cen tral Oregon railroad activity keep reaching the eyes of newspaper readers and will form a good sub ject for some time to come for after supper dreams. That we are going to have a railroad in the not far distant future, no one doubts; but that any" localite can define ' its route is wrong. When the route of the great transcontinental line is made public, we believe that our little city will be on its line, and will rightly get its Bhare of the development resultant. In the meantime Portland agitates an ex tension of the Columbia Southern in order to further increase her Central Oregon trade, and head off any possible invasion from San Francisco for the same purpose. If the agitation results in the ex tension, Portland's commercial fThe Oregon Daily Journal of the 25th inst, contained a brief writeup of the Malabon fight, which occur red March 25th, 1899, about 7 miles north of Manila. The Sec ond Oregon Regiment bore the brunt of this battle, 11 men being killed and 41 wounded out of a total fighting force of about 600 men. The engagement lasted only a short time, as the battle proper was confined to the time taken by the regiment to cross the field from the American trenches to those oc cupied by the little brown Malays. This distance varied from 400 yards on the left to about 2000 yards on the right of the regiment, and the way the Oregon boys took the enemy's position in the face of a galling fire from Mauser rifles would do any one's heart good and convince them forever that our state was a producer of good fight stock. The German consul who was an eye witness to the charge, said enthusiastically,'"! take off my hat to the Oregon Volunteers." The Portland Journal in their ac count of the battle makes a mis statement. That is to the ef ect that the boys had moved from the City of Manila to the scene of the battle on March 25tb, which is not the case. They were moved in on the evening of the 24th after dark, and occupied the trenches vacated by Huneton's regiment, the 20th Kansas. ' This was done by Funston's request, as he had officially reported that the strong position of the enemy could better be taken by a regiment un acquainted with the circumstances. His regiment which had been stationed in these trenches for several weeks was moved to a much easier position to the right of Gen. McArthur's division, owing to a timidity incurred by knowing of the strength of the position. Whether it was he or his men who had the stage fright, no one will ever know, but he is now a Briga dier General in the regular army service while the gallant General Summers who led the Second Ore gon through a trying skirmish, is only a brevet Brigadier General of Volunteers and a common private citizen.

I had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because I had never tried it for such a pur pose, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had not used the con tents of one bottlo before Mr. tirip had bi I me adieu.

By the enormous development of railway construct ion by the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific Railway organi zations, to .say nothing of the quiet but progressive march of the Cana dian Northern, tho possibilities of Canadian commercial and indus trial expansion is being demon strated every day and becoming more and more apparent. Great Britain until now, this year of 1903, did not rouse up to a full realization of this, but the quicken ing influence produced uion the English Government by the great rush of men of brain and brawn with capital to match from the United States has at last reached the great heart of the nation and now for fear of being headed off in the rush for the coveted goal Great Britain is giving no further time to reflection and contemplation, but rather than be last in the race is running, or about to run, shoes in hand, tot the land of promise.

Nevertheless the fence between us is not so high but we can clirpb over it, and 1 4s there seem to be no barbs to hold us back, climb over we will. The average "United Stateser" is only lodking for opportunities where he can quietly sneak in and get a slice, provided he is not on the "exclusion" list. Chickens may come home to roost, but until they can have roosts all their own they are likely to remain on Canadian soil, so iong, at least, as things may prospectively come their way. Western Canada is prc-eminent- 1a wheat and stock country. The soil is a rich, deep, black loam, and its exceeding fertility, coupled with periods of extreme cold in winter and extreme heat in sum mer, admirably adapts it to the cultivation of wheat and other cereals.
