"The geological history of the Phil
ippines leads scientists to believe
that tbe island comprise tbe Garden
of Kden, tbe original home of man,
ntid that tbe Tagalo 6f today is a
direct desuendent from tbe man of
Borneo, midway in development be
tween the ape and tbe bumin
species." Report of United Slates
Geologist I). V. Becker, with tbe
army in tbe Philippines.
Great Scott! And Bryan wanted
to give away tbe Garden of Eden!
What a fortunate thing for us tbe
man from Lincoln did not win, and
carry into effect bis dire threat. No
wonder Ilanna and tbe republicans
wanted to keep the islands. It is a
safe conclusion that this has not been
tipped off to Croker or ke would
have enlisted all the Tagalos into
the Tammany army. Croker usually
knows a jjootl thing when he sees it!
Bryan does, sometimes! But who
would have thought it the Ameri
can fl.ig floating over the Garden of
Kden! Hearst will doubtless fit out
an expedition and look for Eve. It
certainly will have one effect a
whole lot of fellows at home will
brush the dust off their bibles long
enough to find out what the Garden
of Eden was. J'oor old Spain must
have been asleep all these years, in a
sort of Uip Van Winkle state, or 6he
would never have sold tbe Garden of
Eden for a paltry 20,000,000 poor
as she was. And in addition it is
the place where man developed from
an ape into bis present state oi
mental capacity and physical being.
But it is a pretty lough thing to say
about our friend Aggie that he is a
mixture of ttie mun of Borneo and
au ipe. If he is still alive this in
formation will certainly have a kill
ing effect. And Bryan little realized
bow close be came to tronkeylng
with the Darwinian theory. Oh,
that geologist has produced a nioe
state of affairs perhaps the "para
mount' issue for the next campaign.

Second, the discovery and de

on the toast of South America. This j
nitrate is wanted in Europe as land

Pacific coast and Liverpool wer

,.o ,i, ,.,lflat i republican party contemplated break
Said the Sun Francisco Chronicle
of a week ago: "The frantic efforts
jof our democratic contemporary to
idrajt the question of Chinese ex
I elusion into tbe recent campaign
failed signally, as it was right it
should. There never was the slight
est merit in the assumption that the
load wheat discovered that they I
could do better loading lumber.
Tbe ocean rate seems beyoud con
trol of the people of this state. It
must be left largely to its own solu
tion. Tbe end of the South Africau
war, the suppression of the Filipino
rebellion, and ike restoiation of
stable government in China will
release tnuei tonnage and tend to
restore the normal rates for ocean
carriage. The construction of the
Nicaragua canal would be another
important factor.
Some measure of lelief, though,
can be found and should be found in
Just legislation reducing the railroad
charge from the wheaifields to tide
water. Tbe railroads now exact 12
cents per bushel for this haul. Each
cent of reduction would pass im
mediately info the price of wheat in
Eastern Washington.
Washington wheat is selling on
the Liverpool market around DO cents
per bushel. The price in the Palouse
and Big Bend country clings close
to 40 cents. Therefore 50 cents of
the Liverpool price goes to the rail
road, the ocean carrier and tbe mid
dlemen, says the Spokesman-Review.
This is abnormally high toll, and
accounts, in part, for the ruling low
price of wheat in this section. Tbe
Oregonian prints a table, giving the
Portland price of wheat since 1890:

Tbe Portland quotation Friday
was 5 1 to 544. Tbe ruling price is
therefore about 8 cents below the
general average for the past decade.
The Portland paper calculates that
5 cents of this loss is directly the
result of high ocean rates. Others
have calculated that the high ocean
rates account for a loss of 8 or 10
cents, or even more. As between
the highest ocean rate paid this
season, and the lowest paid in some
seasons, there is a difference of 10
cents per bushel. Jiuips are now
carrying wbc.it from the Columbia
river to Liverpool for about 47 shill
ings per ton. At one time this
season the rate was up to 52s Gd,
which was equivalent to about 37
cents per bushel. Io past years
charters have gone as low us 30
shillings, tbe equivalent of about
21 1 cents per bushel.
Tbe question is often asked by
farmers and others: "What causes
the prevailing high charges for ocean
carriage?" The answer will be
found in a complication of adverse
influences. First, the excessive fie
mand for ocean carriers, arising!
from our war in the Philippines, the!
British war iu South Africa, and in
Tbe Globe-Democrat thinks the
democratic paity is not dead yet but
is of the opinion that the Bryanite
end of it will be sloughed off. Some
Yallandighain will appear who will
force the democracy to take a new
departure in 1900, as the original
Vallandigbam did a little over a
quarter of a century ago. The pres
ent shake-up will give the democracy
a new aspect. The adoption of the
riot and repudiation program was
the biggest mistake which any party
in tho United States ever made
except that of secession.
The repudiated bully, Croker, has
tbe effrontery to say thtit tbe demo
crats are invincible because they
"always fiaht for principles." Dick
probably thinks the American public
has forgotten his enunciation of the
greatest of all democratic principles,
"my own pockets all the time." This
is the only democratic principle thst
Croker and his gang know or care
about. What tbe country thinks of
it is apparent in the returns, remarks
the Philadelphia Press.
The people of California wanted
rain. They were told by the tepub
licans that if McKmley was elected
it would rain. McKinley was elected
and the next day it rained. Now
what in the world is the use of try
ing to get away from such over
whelming arguments as that? sar
castically asks an irreverent and
disgruntled Bryanite.
Tbe democratic papers which now
declare that Bryan talked loo much
should not forget how they patted
him on the back, yelled "go it Billie"
every time he made a speech and
encouraged him in itinerary of po
litical spouting that helped to lose
him the presidency. Eugene Register.
ing down the Larrieis and letting in
tbe Asiatic horde. Tbe attempt to
make an issue of tbe subject failed
because everybody knows that tbe
exclusion of the Chinese is a non
partisan policy in this stale. All
parties are not only committed to it,
but public sentiment is unanimous
against letting down tbe bars. No
politician on the Pacific Coast would
venture to lake any other stand on
the question, and when tbe time
comes for tbe re enactment of tbe
exclusion act it will be found that
a republican congress will be true to
the party record on the subject of
Chinese immigration.- The election
is now over, and the result shows
that the frenzy of our democratic
contemporary in forcing the Chinese
issue drove votes away from its
ticket instead of attracting them to
it. It acted as & boomerang."

In the last fifteen months the

States has expanded at the rate of
nearly 1400,000 each day, or a total
of over 1 80,000,000. The per

Four years ago tbe average trice
of a bale of '.-otton was 425. Last
year it was 130 and now the figure
is $50, an advance of a hundred per
cent, and there is no cotton trust
either.
With solemn good nature the
Courier-Journal cries out: "It is
worse than first reported. Two
counties In Georgia instead of one
were carried by the republicans."

Fred Grunow, a Dalles toy who has
grown up here from early childhood,
returned home from the Philippines last
Friday after a service of three years in
Co. A, 10th U. S. Infantry. Fred first
saw active service in Cuba, where he
fought at San Juan and Santiago.
Afterwards his regiment was ordered to
the Philippines and there be continued
in active service for nearly a year and
a half, until the three years for which
he had enlisted bad ended, when he and
about ninety others were honorably dis
charged and sent home on tbe transport
Logan.
Fred's description of the islands con
firms all that has been said as to their
richness. He considers them a very
valuable acquisition. As lo their health
iness niB own case proves that with
ordinary cate in the use of food and
drink a white person need have no in
ordinate diead of the climate. Except
for a very short period his health wag
good all the time. He says the insur
rection, in the proper sense of that term,
is dead and lias been dead for some
time. There are no longer any large
bands of insurgents. The ladrones or
robber bands usually naunber from 100
down. They are simply thieves and cut
throats, who rob and murder rar more
of the nativeH than they do of Ameri
cans. The ladrones have little mercy
for anyone, but they have absolutely no
compassion far a native who is suspected
of friendliness to tbe Americans. Apart
from the ladrones tbe natives are dis
posed to be friendly to the Americans,
and if the ladrones were once destroyed
there would be little trouble in govern
ing the otheis. As to capacity of the
natives for self government, Mr. Grunow
thinks the idea ridiculous.

Whatever may be said of the scient fic !
causes upon which the Rev. Irl K. Hicks '
bases bis yearly forecasts of storm and I
weather, It is a remarkable fact that !
specific warnings of every great storm,!
flood, cold wave and drouth, have been J
plainly printed in his now famous alma- j
nac for many years. The Intest start- j
ling proof of this fact was the destruc-1
tion of Galvretoo, Texas, on the very i
day named by Prof. Hicks in his 1900
almanac as one of disaster I y storm
aloug the gulf coasts. The 1901 alma
nac, by far the finest, most complete
and beautiful yet published, is now
ready. This remarkable book of nearly
two hundred pages, splendidly illus
trated with charts and half-tone engrav

recover tho price cf 0000 feet of lumber
at f 11.50 a thousand, the balance cleimed
to be due on a contract for 18,000 feet
as the price of a saw mill bought by the
defendants. Mrs. Hensel had come into
possession of the claim by purchase;
but in the ,ranefer of the claim the hus

A happy and jolly crowd of girls
gathered Thursday evening at the resi
dence of Mr. and Mrs. A. Buchler to
celebrate the anniversary of the birth
day of their daughter, Miss Mamie.
The evening was spent in gameB, vocal
and instrumental music, and such other
fun aud enjoyment as only a lot of
healthy, happy girls can promote. The
company separated at a late hour after
partaking of an elegant supper and wish
ing their hostess and companion many
"returns of tbe season." Those present
were: Misses Pearl Joies, Vemice
Schooling, Minnie Bartell, Lillie Senfert,
Wasco Morris, Lulu Blakeney, Hazel
Waud, Hose and Mamie Buchler.
Said a wise old man to an editor wise
enough to put it on record: 'Onse I

never seen a girl unfaithful to her mother
that ever came to be worth a one-eyed
button to her husband. It isn't a guess.
It isn't exactly in the Bible, but it is
written Iare and awful in the miserable
life of a mipfit home. I'm talking for
the boys this time. If one of you boys
ever come across a girl with her face full
of roses who says as you come to the
door, 'I can't go for thirty minutes lor
the dishes are not washed,' yon wnii for
that girl. You sit right down on the
doorstep and wait for her, la-fore some
oilier feilow can come along and carry
her off, and right theie you have lost an
angel. Wait for her and stirk to her."
