A SEWSVAPEh'S "STORMS."
The Louisville Courier-Journal
prints this statement about itself and
its business:
"Assuredly it (the Courier Journal)
has weathered many storms. In I81C
ii lost half its daily and nearly all its
weekly circulation, bet it got back
the daily circulation with some ad
dition the two or tbiee years suc
ceeding, and it is slowly, but surely,
getting back its weekly, so that for
quite a year the volume of its busi
ness has been greater than ever it
was before. The campaign of 1 896
cofit it at least a quarter of a million
-dollars. Yet it still lives, and neither
grudges nor mises the money."
To the newpaper people of the
country it is highly gratifying that
the Courier-Journal, having "weath
rcd many storms," Is weathering
this latest one also. In the circum
tance it is impossible to blame it
for seeking reconciliation wirti the
Democratic parly, even ULder the
tliiection of Oocbelism; for 'he who
stands upon a slippery place mr.kes
nice of no vile hold to stay him up."
The Courier-Journal is published in
a community unworlh) of it; and if
it has been coerced, so was Galileo.
Jlut, like Galileo, it knows that truth
: remains truth, just the satre.
In another article the Courier
Journal says it is "riding on a boom
at present, its circulation, large be
fore, having, the lust few weeks,
actually doubled." It will do good
work yet, when the stupidity, in
tolerance and fury that surround it
shall have cxbausted their forces.

I tog-
in 180 only twelve per cent, of
our exports were other than agri-
cultural: last year the proportion had
risen to thirty per cent., while at the
same time the proportion of imports
which consisted of raw materials in
intended to be used in the processes
of manufacture is steadily increasing.
It would be impossible to overrate
the momentous nature of this circum
stance. The tables show that in
18G9, when the total imports were
valued at $438,455,81)4, the non
dutiable merchandise, by which must
be understood the articles imported
for the purpose of manufacture, was
estimated to amount to $21,775,013,
whereas last year, out of the total
imports of 799, 834,020, the esti
mated value of the non-dutiable
merchandise is reported to have been
331,814,904.
This constitutes an extraordinary,
an unparalleled demonstration of the
forward stride in the direction indi
cated which the nation is taking.
Although we arc importing twice as
much in value as we 'were thirty
years ago, the amount of manufact
ured goods which wc buy abroad bas
actually decreased. There is some
thing marvclcus in the industrial de
velopment thus demonstrated.
Take some other figures by way of
fuilher illustration. They will show
that while our Imports have doubled
since 18C9, our exports have quad
rupled. In the former year there
was an excess of imports over ex
ports amounting to 1(101,079,906,
whereas in 1899 the excess of exports
over imports aggregated 175,C52,
051. This excess is not so large as
that noted in 1898, but the decline Is
wholly in agricultural staples, There
was a general failure of crops In
Kuiope in 1898, and that failure bad
to be made good from the United
States. It was natural thnt last year,
when an average Kurnpean crop was
harvested, the demand upon the
United .States should have fallen off.
On the other band, the foreign de
mand for articles of American man
ufacture actually increased, ' and this
In spite of the fact that there had
been a great and general Increase in
prices, the effect of which it had
been apprehended would be to c irlall
materially the selling of American
i I. f..rion market.

It is reported by several papers that
two steamers are to be constructed at
Portland and one at Pafco for the Paul
Mohr Transportation Coiupany. This
news should be taken with a grain of
salt. From appearances it would seem
that this eiRerprlee largely consisted of
a desire to create the impression that it
was in the field for business, while in
fact it was promoted for the purpose of
quick returns from a direction which
would mere or less be effected by opposi
tion. When the Paul Mohr Transporta
tion Company rids itself of this suspicion
it will be time enough for the people and
the press t ) have confidence in its state
ments and movements. Up to this time
nothing has been done to merit any such
confidence. East Oregonian.
Hcoorlna Mill tor Tha Dallaa.
When men with determination take
hold of any, project it is an assured fact
they will accomplisn their end. The
committee consisting of Jos. T. Peteis,
Ed. M. Williams and N Whealdon, ap
pjinted by the citizens of The Dalies to
look into the matter of securing a scour
ing mill at this place, have worked faith
fully, and by their tenacity have succeed
ed In winning out in the end.
The fact that we are losing some of
our trade In the surrounding country on
account of various railroads being br.ilt
have spurred our citizens to the neces
sity ol bringing a pay roll into onr com
munity and look toward inaiiufsc'urintr,
which should have been advanced years
ago. Bat then for the present. We are
to have a scouring mill, and one np to
date witti all the latest appliances and
Improvements. Mr. J. M. Russell, the
promoter of the scheme, in considera
tion of the sum of 20,000 to be issued In
bonds to draw six per cent interest, pay
able annually, agrees to pay the sum of
f5C00, to be used in the construction anil
equipment of the mill, in common with
the money secured by the tK.nl. He
will txke the management of the con
cm, and as he is thoroughly conversant
with everything pertaining to wool, will
undoubtedly make a grand success of
the preposition.
According to the contract the mill is
lobe completed by the first of Jnne,

requisite amount has been secured with
the exception of f4,rb0, which will un
doubtedly be raired by tomorrow night.

TO PROTECT SONG BIRDS.
Kawara Care4 far Ctl ar Tar-
Wka Swill Tbaaa.
A rawarJ ol f 10 will be paid by State
Game Warden Qaimby or bia depnty at
this place, for information leading to
th arrest and conviction of any person
destroying song birds and other small
birds classed with them.
The law on the subject of killing torg
bird is as foiioas:
-General laws of the etate of Orvn,
to protect the native song birds within
the state ot Oregon.
"Section 1. Everv person who shall
wlihia the state of Oregon, f r any pur
pose, inj ire, take, kill or detioy or have
ia his possession, sell or cJer for tale,
any yellow breasted chit, meadow lark,
robin, sor.g sparrow, larkfincb, varie
gated thrash, woodihrash, hermit
thrash, American goldfinch, bluebird,
snowbird, oriole, lazuli finch, house and
winter wren, pine-linnet, California
linnet, warbler, vireo, swallow, tanag-r,
groatieak, ringlet or horntd-lark, shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor."
The second section of the law declares
that every person who shall within the
state of Oregon, destroy or remove from
nests any of the above nsmed birds, or
any egg or eggs of such birds or have in
possession or offer for sale any each eggs,
or willfully destroy the nests of any such
birds, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
"Any person or persons violating any
of the provisions of this act, or any
other act or parts of acts, for the pro
tection of game or song birds, not in
conflict herewith, and for which no
penally is fixed, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and npon conviction
thereof shall be punished by a fine of
not lees than f 13 nor more than S200to
gether with the costs of the prosecution
of said action, or by imprisonment in
the county jail of the county wherein
such offense may have beer committed,
not less than Eeven or more than 100
days, or both such fine and imprison
ment." It is desired that the school teachers
sni parents make the law known to
children, fur the slaughter of our song
birds is a shame and must be stopped.
The game warden has instructed his
deputies to keep a strict watch and
make thoso who disregard the statutes
amenable to the law.

Mr. Nicholas J. Siunott announced
the program, which began with an
overture by tiie orchestra. A male
quartet favored the aud'er.ce with a
selection, and Mrs. M.iu 1 Eddou, who
Is always appreciated by onr people,
then recited "How lie Saved St.
Micheal." Following thW, Miss Haitie
Cram sang a solo in a sweet voice and
was forced to respond to an encore.
Miss Mamii Helen Fiynn, the
talented young elocutionist aij I musician
entertained the audience with a recita
tion, entitle 1 "The Iloiie Racj." fehe
was heartily encored and responded
with a clever piece. In her selections on
the piano she proved herself t be a
musician of the highest order and
merited the repeated encorrs which
were showered upon her.
Misses Conn and Smpjon, in their
duet. "Two Merry, Merry Girls," sang
with such pleasant expression and force
that they were compelled to coma before
the audience a second time.
Mrs. B. S. Huntington favored the
andieoce with that old time favorite,
"Annie Liurie," and as usual delighted
all, for such a sweet , true voice is rarely
heard.
Mr. James Benton rendered a diflii-u't
cornet solo, which was indeed clever,
and thn piano accompaniment was x
ceptionally pleasing lo the ear.
Miss Fiynn then gave a scene from
Romeo and Juliet and sin. wed by her
manner on the stage that she woullbe
an ideal Juliet. This, followed by a
selection from the orchestra, ended the
