All communications should be addressed to be PRESS, Athena, Oregon ATHENA, JANUARY 21,1898. Miners returning from Dawson City report that whiJe provisions are scarce a really worse problem that the goldaeekers have to face is the scarcity of light, oil selling at 145 a gallon and candles at a pro portionately high rate. Alaska has been represented as a country rich in all minerals and producing petroleum in abundance. If nec essity is the mother of invention, It ia a wonder that some enter prising Klondiker does not bore for oil. A successful strike would be worth more than all the gold claims on Bonanza creek or any where else. The following is from the Union Scout and is very good advice: Spurt advertising, like a. short winded horse, never wins the race. Just as well move your store every three months as to do spurt adver tising. People may not need what you sell just now, but they will seoner or later, and when they do want it if they don't find your ad where they first saw it, they will naturally conclude you have quit business. What a salesman is to your business, just so is your ad. Each sells your goods, and you cannot prosper without both. By refusing to accept the plea of intoxication advanced by an il le gal voter in extenuation of his of fense, a Philadelphia judge hns taken a stand which good citizens will generally support, and which has reason, judgment and common sense back of it. (n a vigorous manner the judge charged the jury that if they found the prisoner had voted illegally, as charged, it was their duty to convict him without regard to hia condition at the time, whether he waB drunk or sober. The jury promptly convicted the man. Secretary Wilson ha& informa tion of the establishment of 20 new manufactories of beet-root sugar in the United States, which are the direct result of the efforts of the department of agriculture to en courage this industry. These new factories will represent an invest ment of not less than 110,000,000. Tammany gave Seth Low the of fice of Member of .the Art Commis sion of Greater New York, which, we believe, carries no salary. What Mr. Low did for Tammany ought certainly to have entitled him to a salary under the Tam many municipality. More farm machinery rusts out than wears out. Thousands of dollars' worth of farm machinery is now standing out exposed to. the weather. It is much cheaper to ' build shedding than to be always buying machinery, A writer on Indian songs says they contain "explosive sounds for warlike sentiments." They have faded out from the ancestral vales and hills where once they echoed, but the college yell is a fair Bub ititute. Samuel Jason, of New York, taunted his wife about ''mother's cooking," and now he is in a hos pital. He thinks that mother's cooking ia not now to be mentioned with wife's basting. The Cramps, the leading firm of American shipbuilders, propose to pend several millions on a ship building plant at Seattle. A new era for the Pacific opens rapidly. The Pendleton Tribune and East Oregonian are "warm members" of the journalistic family. Both pa pers scrap for every available bit of news to be had,- and frequent "scoops" are made. The latest U one on the E. O. The Tribune made its 'scoop" by obtaining a letter from James Jackson, brother of the editor of the East Oregon ian, who is in Alaska, The East Oregonian accuses the Tribune o( "stealing" the letter. It makes no difference how the letter was se cured for publication, in journal istic parlance the Tribune scored a full grown "ecoop" on its evening contemporary. The Dalles Times-Mountaineer has just issued a splendid souvenir edition. It is a credit to the pub lisher and is replete with informa tion concerning the wonderful re sources of Wasco and Sherman counties. THE ABSORBING QUESTION. Portland Oregonian. The arrival in San "Francisco en route for Washington of San ford B. Dole, president of the Hawaiian republic, intensifies at this time the interebt that is felt in political and governmental circles in what has come to be known in this country as the Hawaiian question. When the importance of the eleven islands in the Pacific ocean known as the Hawaiian archipelago ia considered from a commercial standpoint, the delay that has characterized our national policy in dealing with the question in volved in their future ownership is inexplicable. The singular im portance of the position of these islands is thus presented by a re cent writer: "The distance from Hong Kong on the west of Hawaii to Panama on the east is 9580 miles; it is 4400 miles from Una laska, the first port north of Ha waii, to Tahiti, the first port southj and in all that vast expanse there ia only one spot where a ton of coal, a pound of bread or a drink of water can be obtained, and that spot is Hawaii." ' The question ' of the annexation of these islands has been discussed from the stand point of our national interests, not only in a commercial, but in a naval sense, until it is fair to presume that every intelligent reader is familiar with these phases. It has been discussed from the standpoint of its influence upon the Ilawaiians and from that of the attitude in which its ac complishment will place this na tion toward the countries of the Orient, and of . the nations that are now operating therein for the purpose of widening their terri tory, until further discussion on these lineB is but "stale repetition, hammered on the ear." It is ap parent that there is no pretext for further delay in the settlement of the question. The time is ripe for a decision, and there is every indication that one will be reached at a reasonably early day. Presi dent Dole, who is now in San Francisco, and will go forward to Washington in a few days, ia Ha waiian born and bred. He ia con ceded to bo an honest man, who has made a careful study of the situation, and is well prepared to pre sent the case from the standpoint of Hawaiian interests. He was called from the- bench of Hawaii to the difficult post of president of what might be termed an emer gency republic, and he haB dis charged faithfully and with a de gree of intelligence possible only to one thoroughly identified with the inteiests of the people, the duties of the position. The absorbing question in the United States just now is the annexation treaty be fore congress, by which it ia pro posed to add these islands to our national domain, and the appear ance of President Dole upon the scene h regarded by the friends of annexation as most opportune.
