Reports from Canada Indicate that deaplto the fact that 400,000 men have been takon out of the dominion by the army, the country was never before in so prosperous a condition There la a ready market for every thing farmers can groiv, and at lush prices, and cattle Have gone up In price to tho very limit, apparently, llecent Information from there al leges that J80 and even more Is P'lld for heifers, and not good onos at that. Lumber Is in demnad, labor recolves top notch prices, and busi ness conditions are all good. The same condition of affairs arc result ing In this country. Since tho begin ning of-tho war nearly three years ngo business matters in our own country began to Improve, it was particularly noticeable In tho easl, but the wave pt prosperity slowly worked Its way west, and now. with tho United Stilton Involved, every lino of IndiiHtry appears to have received new life and energy. The man whu is idle Is so from choice rather than from necessity. Farmers aro al ready worrying over the problem of help In the harvcBt Holds, pay for la bor Is excellent, trade In mercantile establishments is good, and a gen eral demand for all commodities Is Increasing. . The Bccrot of the whole thing Is that money lias begun to circulate, owing to governmental ac tivity along war lines. As tho war preparations progress and some or thoso several billions of dollars of ap propriations got Into tho hands of producers, Increased commercial nc tivltlcs will noccHsarlly follow. While wo regret a stale of war, and dciploro the fact that tho nation lias been drawn Into the struggle, we aro glad that It will not romilt in business de pression and ruin to our national industries. K( .Ml.,l,i:i l'KKSS. Thero will be no censoiahlp of newsrtapors In these United States, so the conferee's committee has de cided. This clause was stricken from tho war bill, although tho presi dent urged Ita adoption. Congress could commit no moro grevloua blun der than to attempt to iuuzkIo the press, nnd it is to the credit of Hie 1 men comprising the committee tiiiu. they so soo It. Tho administration desires harmonious nctlon, 'but that censorship clause was not the road to amicable conclusions. Tho great Amerlcun' public will endure a good deal, hut will not tolerate any trampling upon their liberties, and It is well that this censorship business he disposed of heforo nny further moves are made. Tho News does not question the niotivo behind the request for muzzlelng tho 'press, but still Insists that to ask such a tiling was altogether unwarranted ami could hut lead to a chuotlc state of affairs.

This fellow seems to think that the privilege of circu lating a petition is not the duty of either a seaool superintendent or a private cltizui. In fact, lie's very much "fornlbt" the proposition rroia a persoual viewpoint and w.tli a few of his henchmen are trying to contlnuo their policy of dii'credlt ing our city schools. The public has long beent disgusted with these tac tics, knowing full well that the "bunk" published in the local col umns of tho "yellow Journal" comes from one whose character, compared to those he lias been assailing, In per forated like a sieve, still ho wants to be placed In that category of a "special advice" disseminator to ad vlso tho public as to whother or not they should sign a petition some thing that is absolutely none of his business but having that ignorant faculty so characteristic to a "ninny- hammer" he fails to see that his ef fusions are falling flat and creating rank disgust among the people gen erally. An application has been filed with the state rullroad commission on bc- hnlf of all the railroads In the state for a general increase of 15 per cent in all Intra-stato freight rules with out exception, including both class and commodity. Similar application is being mado In all states to an 'o conform wiin the tentative perml sion obtained from the interstate commerce commission for a fifteen per cent Increase, beginning Juno The Interstate commerce commission has Intimated that unless shippers aud others Interested show that the proposed advance is unwarranted the tentative increase will be made a permanent order. The government added millions to the expense of the ronds by tho Adanison eight hour law, so rallwuy ofllclals state, and h one of tho main reasons gl'Tn for an advance in freight rates. "The dear public" will soon get what's coming to them If this increase of fifteen por cent Is allowed. In tho pursuit of' economy the polite custom of refusing to tulio' the Inst slice of bread will hIbo paai Into Innocuous desuetude. The market report announces thai corn slocks are lower tiian usual.

That a crowded house will greet tho 117 pretty co-eds from tin neigh boring city of lOugene, at their Ill's! annual concert to be given at the Antlers theatre tonight, goes with out saying, and it also goes without saying that a real good old lasliioned hluh-jlnss time will be u.. . by all those foitiniate enough to attend tills pert'orniance.

When asked whether the national parka aro to he closed to visitors during the season of 1917, Secretary Lane stated that the persistent ru mors which have been current (or the past few days, particularly In the middle west, that such action waB to be taken by ilio interior department, have absolutely no foundation In fuels.
