The death of Mayor William S. jMason, of Portland, is a reminder that there are heroes in business life as well as on the field of bat tle. The SjiokeMiian-Keview fays: Through a high sense of honor, he lied comparatively a poor roan. The circumstance is narrated by the Oregonian : "In 1 81)2 he became pieiident of the Portland National bank. Thi-9 instit tiOD, because of some unfortu nate loans, succiiiubed to the late financial pain?, but Mr. Mason stuck to the ship until the last depositor was paid in full, sacrificing the great er part of his personal foitune in doing so. Through the swindling operations of the Ainslie Lumber Company, the bank lost 90 per cent of its assets, and Mr. Mason used about $1 30,000 of his private foitune to save the depositors. Only his liigh sense Of honor and justice prompted him to make this sacrifice, for he was bound neither legally nor morally to use a dollar of his own resources to pay the depositors." Knowledge of the ciicumstances is necessary to a full comprehension of the magnitude of this great sacri fice. At thu time of bis death Mayor Mason was 07 years of age. His private fortune was th.i acquisition of a lifetime of honorable business ffort. He had reached an age where iiis sacriQoe meant that henceforth inlil his death he could not expect ver again to command an inde pendent fortune. It involved the surrender of those fond hopes cher ished by every hard woiker, of a few years of quiet retirement in the sunset of life from the rough and tumble of active business cares. It is said he was not under moral obligation to apply bis private for tune to the payment o' the depositors - of bis bank. I3ut bo thought differ- rent1y,ncd be was right, albeit superb heroism was needed to act on the Joftly conviction. And why not? A man of character, integrity and acknowledged business acumen engages in banking, and these qualities draw deposits to his iba-nk. They are the moral assets of Jbe institution, and friends, ac quaintances and observers bank upon them. A crash comes, and it is disclosed that his judgment of men was at fault. He had selected incapable or -dishonest helpers, or he had approved Urge loans which proved unsound, and as a consequence his bank be comes insolvent, its doors are closed, and its depositors are about to lose their hard savings. There is a moral obligation on that man to bring up the reserves of bis private fortune. This is high ethics, and few men will live up to she exalted standard, but 'tis well the few arc found. They are the balance on "Fortune's wild wheel." They save civilization from disaster. Cit'es are 'enriched and their Listories ennobled by the citizenship of men like the late Mayor Mason, lie leaves a beloved and an honored memory. 'His life was gentle, and the element mix l in l im, that nature might stand op, And fjy to all the world, man.' " This was a AX AMERICAS HERO. The fortunes of war have made conspicuous the name of Col. Harry C. Egbert, whose service are typical of the most fearless devotion toliis country. His death at the head cf bis regiment in the battles of Manila closes a career that, for reasons np pealing to every patriotic heart, calls , for more than a passing word. Col. Egbert was graduated at West Point in the fall of 1861 and passed at once to the grim school of the civil war. He was captured at Gettysburg, and shot through the body in the year of the final advance upon Rich mond. He passed through the hard woik of the little regular army in the thirty-three years between the civil war nod the war with Spain. At Santiago hi regiment suffered . . . ik ' more severely man any ouier. as hit twice, one bullet l'"""1 .1.-......

He fell mortally wounded while !,.,! m(,n f,,rw.ir(l .Vi.Ulgmg 1114 men lorwaru. No soldier ever earned a ociier ngut imui uc iu be sculptured in that position. Here is an example of the model American soldier whose highest ambi tion is to be at the post of duty ami to offer bis life freely for the sake of his flag. Col. Fgbert had almost reached the retiiinsr ne. He was 'marked up by bullets that had barely missed vital organs. But he fought at Manila just as at Santiago and Gettysburg. When he fell with his mortal wound, the third shot through the body, be said that he was too old to recover. Cut he would never have been too old to serve his country where the bullets were flying thickest. There are men in the ranks who have shown equal self sacrifice and fallen perhaps uunotcd. Col. Ebeit will answer as the repre sentative.of the type , of soldier- patriots who are invariably at the post of danger and who make l'ght of wounds that are less than mortal. Globe-Democrat. A NARROW VIEW. A British naval officer, comment ing on the war in the Philippines, is quoted by tho London Daily Chron icle as saying : 'The Americans do not appear to understand the game of using one lot of. natives against another. If they wish to conquer the inlands, they must adopt that plan." We think this Critish naval officer will haye occasion to readjust his views on that matter. Certainly he will change his opinion if he will study the history of Indian warfare in this country. The Americans have been playing for three centuries the "game" of using one lot of natives against another. If they bad not understood that game, they could not have wrested this country from its savage possessors. For example, the Indian wars of this section. When Wright started his campaign against the hostiles north of Snake river in 1 858, one of his first moves, on arriving at Walla Walla, was to win the friendship of the Ncz Perces. A council was held at that post, and a treaty made which withdrew 1700 muskets from the ranks of the hostiles, and provided a strong party of Nez Perces as guides and scouts. A spirited war dance celebrated the forming of the clliancc, and as a result of this freaty, the Nez Perces remained the steadfast friends of the whites down to the war of 1877. In the ICez Perce war of 1877, treaty conditions were somewhat re versed. We bad in that war, as allicr, some of the tribes who were with the hostile confederacy of 1858. The Spokanes, Columbias, Colvillcs and other tribes remained at peace, and provided our forces with guides ami scouts. Chief Moses, whose death is now repoited from the Colvillc reservation, was strongly templed by ambassadors from Joseph to go on the warpalb, but resisted all blandishments from that wily Nez Perce chieftain. In the Shoshone war of 18CG-8, Idaho and Eastern Oregon, wc had for allies the Klamatbs, the Warm Springs, the Columbias and the Boise ShoshoDes. In the Modoc war we had the Klamatbs and Cayuses as allies, and to greater or less degree we have layed that "game"' in every border struggle. It is strange that the naval officer quoted in the London Chronicle docs not see that it would be vain to expect expensive alliances with the Filipinos before our armed forces had inspired in the native mind a wholesome fear and respect for their fighting and governing qualities. Any alliance not based on such re spect would be futile and disappoint ing. Large numbers of the natives have been Imitating between the standard of Aguinaldo and the flag of the United States. We are taking the most effective measures to bring these doubters to our side. Spokesman-Review. !

Large manufacturing plants are most desirable acquisitions to any community1, for their payrolls make the merchant comfortable and the workman satisfied; but there arc quite as much satisfaction and profit in the smaller concerns, if there arc enough of them, and the results are as far leaching. Of course there will be no ' color line drawn against the Twenty-fourth United States infantry at Vancouver, There was no color line drawn at San Juan hill, July 1, 1898, when the Twenty-fourth United Stales in fantry was excelled by no wbUe regiment in valor, when its gallant lieutenant colonel, E. II. Liscum, fell shot through the lung. There was no color line drawn in the United States senate when Blancle K. Bruce was sworn in as United Ststes senator from Mississippi, leaning on the arm of United States Senator Roscoe Conkling. Equal valor, equal good conduct and equal self respecting be havior soon get equal recognition from decent Americans. There are black sheep among the white men, and, as a witty Georgia negro re cently put it, there may lie "a white sheep in a black family," Oregonian.

Iu that long procession which inaiks the passing of his race, lie was one that to the student of history or psychology would give points of valuable study. to 11 "u 8lncprB lr"'DU u It was curious to see. how faithfully his memory treasured even the words of in Sliueiion. All the smoke and savagery i of wigwam lifecould not obliterate theni. lie seemed to have taken tlieui as words from his mother, into his very heart of hearts, and his whole life was changed thereby. He was always on the eidn tf the whites. His superior intelligei ce and penetration told him that the "Boston men, were the coming men. It was policy on his part, therefore, to make friends with the victors. But any one who knew Albert well would know there was kindness and true, Jrien lli ne3S in his iieart toward those to whom he looked as his superiors and whoie teachings his own people must accept and fallow if they would not be swept from earth. In his earlv manhood l.e rescued many a white wanderer, trap per or explorer, shared with him the supplies of his wigwam, and gave him the use of bis "cuitan" to set him on his way. In 18o5, Albert was with the troops under General Joseph Lane in the Rogue river war, and shared in the glory of the conqueror now, general and Indian scout are both gone at the call of the greater conqueror. Ho was very happy during his resi dence in Indian town across Mill creek, the last year of his life. lie felt that he was "among his menus, and was thoroughly grateful for kindness shown him. He took great interest in hearing of the Cuban war and asking questions about it. "What colored-men are fight ing? Do they look like Indians or Negroes?" When told of the success of the Americans, "Good ! I like that !" he would say. He was fully as able and more so, to understand the subjret as those mountain men of Appalachian America, who hearing of Spain's "flying squadron" thought it would be "as apt as any wheres to light som'ers here abouts in these mountains." - Good-bye to Albert. He surely was one who as Longfellow said, "groping blindly in the darkness, touched God's right hand in the darkness, and was lifted up and strengthened," ANOTHER MURDER AT ANTELOPE F. N. fiplcsr Shoots and Kills TO. Joues Yesterday Afternoou. I). Tuesday's Dully. Dalles residents were again startled this morning, when npon reaching their various places of business they were in formed of another dreadful tragedy which bad occurred at Antelope, seemingly the Beat of so many terrible murders. As in the last case, the victim is a man well known In this city, as is also the man who did the shooting. The news came through a telephone message received by A. M. Kelsay this morning informing him that his father-in-law, W. D. Jones, had been shot and killed by F. N. Spicer at Antelope last evening. The information regarding the affair, was very meager; and nothing very definite can as yet be given regarding it. Rumor, however, ha it that the diffi culty arose from an old feud existing between the two men. Yesterdai Spicer came up to Jones' place with a load of furniture for a family who was to move into the plape, and Jones being there, a dispute arose, which became very warm, and finally Jones was shot in the head by Spicer, causing instant death. When the shooting occurred one was standing on bne side of the wagon and the other on the opposite siJe. Spicer at once gave himself up, and as officers started immediately for this place with him, lie is expected to arrive tonight. IIo is quite well known in The Piilles, having married Miss Eva Rogers, a daughter of the late Alex. Rogers. Mr. Jones Is also knowii to Dalles people, having resided here with his daughter for soma time. His remains will be brought hero for burial. The terrible affair is deeply regretted by everyone, and people are beginning to wonder when these awful tragedieo will end and peace reign in that neighborhood.
