A few weeks "fro The Mist pub
lirhed a statement which showed that
Commissioner Schoonover received m
fees mora than f 100 a year in excess
ot ihe amount received by hit pred
cessor, Mr. Spenoer, coming from the
sumo place. By again examining the
abstract of ciaima allowed the com
, missioners It U discovered that an
error waa mad in the statement and
that Mr. Schoonover received during
the Bret two yesrs he nerved aa com
missioner the um of $689.00 instead
of $524.18, aa previously stated. 8pen
cor, the 1 st year he was commissioner,
recoived 1154.40. so that it will he
soon lhal Schoonover received f 19Q.S5

justice to Mr, Schoonover and that
his receipts for services to the county
may not be misunderstood Ibis cor
reciion is mnde. "
The . Sentinel, published bv Mr.
Hohoonover'e son-in-law, now comes to
the rescue of the old gentleman and
says Pup did not receive as much by
over 100 a year during those two
years as did his colleague, Barnes. Let
U8 see. Below is a complete abstract
as appears of record in the office of
the county clerk, of bills allowed Com
missioners Barnes and Schoonover
from July 1, 1892 up to and including
July, 1894, the same being the hrrt
two years of Schoonover's term and
the lost two years of Barnes term as

It will be seen by the foregoing
which is an exact copy taken from
tne records, that Air. Schoonover re
ceive! $48.33 more m the two years
than bis colleague, Mr. Barnes, though
the latter traveled twelve miles further
each time than the former.
But should the Sentinel man, who
has no respect for the dead, and very
little for the living, ever be caught
telling the truth no doubt winter
would be changed to summer, the Co
lumbia river run the other way and
there would be three full moons in the
month of December.
COMPARATIVE NAVAL STRENGTH.
The oft repeated assertion that the
United States has not sufficient naval
strength to compete with England,
does uot carry with it proof to eon-
. vince. It is true England has, all told,
about sixty-four battleships, and some
thing like 2UW torpedo boats, while the
United Slates has fifty' men of-war, all
kinds, and a much smaller number of
torpedo boats than has Englaud. Of
the fifty battle ships belonging to the
United States twenty-two are of the
latest pattern aud are first-class. To
make a strict comparison of the nav
ies no one will dispute that England's
is superior only in number. But does
it naturally follow that this country
must have a navy equal to Great Brit,
ain iu order to compete with her? It
must be remembered that Great Brit
ain's domain is scattered to all quar
ters of the globe, and from her far re
mote possessions she derives her prin
cipal source of subsistence. These col
onies in time of war would bare to be
protected at all hazards, and to suo
cesefully.do this would r. quire a strong
naval squadron in almost every sea,
without which Canada, Australia, Brit
ish Guiuna and her other far remote
possessions would fall an easy prey to
foreign invasion. Her boasted navy!
is the only protection these dependeu
cies have, and should the conflict come
there seems little doubt that the pres
ent navy of the United States could
baffle all attempts to invade this terri
tory or blockade the ports of a country
' whose possessions are intact, and har
bora so easily and quickly fortified.
The logic of the aituation would indi
cate that the navy of the United States
would better protect her than that of
England would protect her possessions.
And again, granting that England
would blockade every port iu the
United States, which, of course, no
one will concede, an inland invasion
would be absolutely impossible. The
United States remaining intact, could
Jive and prosper cut off entirely from
the outside world. This country pro
duces all the necessaries of life upon
which its people live, and a blockade
of our porta would not prove a great
victory for a foreign fleet. But there
need be no alarm about such a state
of affairs for a country with such a
productive interior and densely popu
lated with a patriotic people with
abundant resources flowing from the
center to the border, would never per
mit the occupation of any consider
able number of its ports by a foreign
power. The United States navy is all
right, but there should be added to it
a few more battle ships of the more
modern type to take the place of many
which have been in use for years.

NO ESTABLISHED BOUNDARY.
To show that Great Britain does
not know the exact location of the
boundary, or, in fact, to show that the
fexact boundary line has never been
definitely established between British
Guiana and Veneiuela, also to show
that she continues to stretch her grasp- irrigation and arid lands.

permitted to do so, we quote the cor- waa made chairman ot the committee

gon and the Pacific coast. He did,
however, retain his place on the com
mittee, being second on the list, and
is yet able to serve Oregon woll in that
position. The chairmanship ot the
committee was eiven to Hooker of
I New York, though Mr. llerrman waa
justly entitled to it by the rule of ro
tation, lie did, however, secure the
chairmanship oi the committee on
the Congressional Record with the
other correspondence pertaining to
the controversy. Mr. Adee said :
In Mr. Olnev'a Instruction No. fKU. nf the
30th instant, in relation to ths Anjrlo-Vene-snelan
boundary dispute, you will note a
reference to th sudden increase of the area
claimed fur British Guiana, amounting to
m.isv square nr lies, between 1884 and 1S80.
This statement is mad on the authoritv of
the British publication entitled the States
man's Year Book.
I add for your better infoimation that
tne same statement is found in the British
Colonial Office List, a government publi
cation, in tne issue ror ISftt the following
passase occurs, on page 24, nnder ths head
of Hrituh Guiana:
"It is impossible to specify the exact area
oi tne colony, (uritisn uuiana), as its pre
cis boundaries between Vcueiiiela and
Bratil, respectively, are undetermined, but
it bat been computed to be 76,000 square

same statement occurs, on page 33. with

Senator McBride was made chair
man ot the committee on transporta

a member of the committee on publio
landa, commerce, coast defenses, and
Indian depredations and international
expositions. It was very fortunate for
Oregon that 8enator Mitchell was se
lected as chairman of the committee
appointed by the senate caucus to for
mulate the standing committees, and
to this fact is largely due the success
of Senator McBride in securing good
places, something very uuusual for a
new senator to obtain. Commerce is

of 33,000 square miles claimed for British
Guiana is not thereby explained, but later
Colonial Office List maps show a varying
weep oi th Dounda.iv westward into what
previously figured as Veneiuelan territory,
while no change is noted on the Brazilian

Thus it will be seen that Great Brit
ain's refusal to arbitrate the boundary
disputo is based on the ground that
sue lias no legitimate right to the ter
ritory claimed, and fears the board ot
arbitration would establish the bouud
ary where it properly belongs. Nations

Thkrx seems little likelihood of war
between the United Stares and Great

better now. The United States has
