Th republican party hat always
been a party of tbs people, desiring
their success and, working Tor us pro
motion. All of its legislation hot bran
directed to the promotion ol industrial
Activity nd it bit always pointed with
pride to increamce wealth and advanc
ing WHces.as the greatest achievement
of its legislative and administrative
ability, It hopes for better things and
always works to build up and not to
tear down ami demoralize.
Boms yeara since an effort was made
to stock Oregon stream with Carp,
and the attempt proved highly satis
factory. Indiana streams were stocked
with the fish, and this is thj plaint of
ft paper from that state : "No monu
pient will ever be erected to the man
who suggested that the Indian
streams be stocked with carp, but a
vot of thanks and a medal are await
ing tha person that can suggest how
the streams can be rid of them."
A. POLL of tha United States senate
bows that nearly two-thirds of its
members are unqualifiedly in favor of
the ratification of the treaty with the
Hawaiian islands providing for annex
ation. By Christmas the picturesque
and fruitful isles of the Kanakas will
be under the dominion of Uncle Bam,
nd the stars and stripes will float
proudly under tbs tropical sky, never
again to be hauled down by any "para
mount" personal representative of a
president.
Thb advance in the price of char
ters, owing to scarcity of shipping on
the Pacific coast, is estimated at ten
cents a bushel on the Oregon wheat
crop. In other words, with plenty of
shipping, and the sharp competition
of last year, farmers would receive ten
cents a bushel more for their wheat.
The opening ot the Nicaragua canal
would not only supply the competi
tion, but the great reduction of sailing
distance wonld enable ships to carry
at much lower figures than ever before.
Nirr to the construction of the
Nicaragua canal, there is nothing
which would be so fortunate for the
Pacifia coast at this time as the devel
opment of Alaska. The gold discov
eries will probably attract such a horde
of people within the next two or three
years, that its period of normal devel
opment will be hastened by perhaps
half century. Like California, in
the days of forty-nine, the eyes of the
whole world have been drawn by the
seductive glitter of gold in Alaska's
direction.
THAKKSomua of 1897 has come
nd gone, and we firmly believe the
people of this state came nearer being
able to return thanks with a gracious
pint than has been the case for sev
eral years. The people are in a more
prosperous oondition, wish brighter
prospects lor lue future, wrought by
many acceptable changes, and they
returned thanks with much emotion,
probably, in thousands of cases. The
day was observed in every household
in our city, and the expression was
freely given that we bad many things
to be thankful for. Keunions of sep
arated families brought cheer to many
hearts and gladdened the homes that
had long seen gloom. Id fact our
whole Union rejoiced.
THB Boston Herald calls attention
to the important fact that the stock of
gold now in the United States is the
largest ever held here. On November
1, according to lbs treasury estimate,
the amount of gold, coin and bullion
hi the country was $712,660,417. The
Herald points out that tbis broke the
record, the largest previous showing
at the beginning of a month being
that of November 1, 1888, which was
(711,705,050. This is an encouraging
circumstance. In the treasury, as
well as elsewhere, the stock of gold is
rising. The treasury fund has gone
above the 1154,000,000 mark, and the
drift is steadily upward. These are
facts which should be kept before the
country. They are bull factors of
great consequence.
Teachers of district schools in this
county should encourage their pupils
in every possible way. One most ef
fective manner is to sen J to the local
paper a report of the oondition of yonr
school and the standing of the pupils
each month. Too often this import
ant part of the teacher's duty is over
looked, a fact which school directors
should inquire into. Tbis doty should
be one of the requirements by" the
school board when hiring a teacher,
because it encourages the, pupil and
he or she will make a greater ef
fort to be noticed as among the best
in the school. There is no one, prob
ably, who does not like a favorable
mention in the newspaper, and cer
tainly that may be expected to exist
to a greater degree among the younger
of us. The comity papers, each and
all, perhaps, wonld gladly publish, tha
school reports, which have a double
effect. They not only encourage the
pupil bat they encourage the parent,
and with the latter inspire them to
greater effort in assisting their little
ones that they may be noticed as
among the brightest. In fact, all the
way through, the whole community
receives a benefit. It will create greater
interest in many ways and inspire our
people with a sense of the greatest de
mnd of the day tetter school facili
ties and a greater degree of education,
iuiluelml uud otherwise.
COLUMBIA COUNTY'S HEEDS.
Muoh may be Said in regard to the
resources of Columbia couiity, and all
that U said may be true, but there is
muoh work to bo done before we can
boast too sroally of our superioritv.
Our resources are of inestimable value,
but wo must develop them. As an ag
ricultural dititrtat Columbia county
has no superior iti the state, and would
rank eveu higher were our farms in a
higher state of cultivation, which will
rapidly follow the improvement of the
times aud an increased domtuid for
our lumber and shingles, the ningni
tude of which scatcely has a limit.
Eventually we will be classed among
the greatest producers ia the state of
the products of the farm, but at pre
eut there is another possession of ours
which must claim a pari our attention
until wo have created a market fur
our lumber and shingles, which we
firmly heliove will be witnessed in the
next iwo years, and then we can claim
the commercial importance which is
our due. The summary statement of
Assessor W bite, which was published
in this paper on the 8th of last month,
showed a total acreage of non-tillable
land of 840,721 acres against 12,161
acres of tillab! land. From this state
ment you will readily perceive what
there is for us to do. You will see that
there are about 30 acres of non-tillable
land to one of tillable land wiihiu
our county. Our commercial import
ance lies not so much in our agricul
tural possibilities as it does in the cre
ation of a market for our timber. Per
baps Columbia, Clatsop aud Tillamook
counties contain one-third of the piue
and cedar timber of our stale. Hence
it is readily to be seen that in order
fur us to prosper in a degree to place
our importance where it belongs we
must have a market for uur timber.
The fact is becoming more apparent
each year that on; possessions are de
serving of more than a passing notice,
and within another two or three years
Columbia county will reap a beautiful
reward for her long years of waiting.
Once another demand for our timber
is created then will a quickened pulsa
tion exist within the heart of our in
dustries, and this done we will be the
borne of more activity than any county
in the state. In this connection it is
to be said too. that progress must be
made in our farming sections, for once
our other industries receivean impetus
then will there be a greater and stead
ier demand for our farm products. By
all means, however, do cot destroy the
valuable traiber you possess, aud by
all means do not deter the improve
ment of your farm. ' Both these Bug
gestions go band in band, because
there is scarcely a one-hundred and-
aixty-acre tract of partly improved
land in the county that does not con
tain from one to fifty acres of slashed
timber, and this is where the improve
ment should be made. Save your tim
ber, but put your other land in a
prime st,ue of cultivation, and then
you will be ready to meet the two
great coming demands.
, DIVERSIFY TBS TRAINING.
Some time since a miscellaneous ar
ticle appeared in these columns in re
gard to industrial education. The
writer fully demonstrated the fact that
more attention should be given the
different parts of industrial training
in the schoolroom, which, since the
idea is receiving some attention by
prominent educators, we may branch
out and offer new fields in which to
train the children. One of the im
portant features of industrial training
in the schoolroom, in our opinion, is
the teaching of belter methods of
road building. This is an absorbing
question in Columbia county, all
classes and professions being inter
ested it it. With all respect for the
general policy of our educational in
stitutions, it is proper to say that
much is taught which has not the
practical value of soms other branches
which are taught at present only in
the rough school of experience. It is
a very nice thing for a young lady to
understand music and painting, it is
even desirable that she be able to
speak several languages, so long as
English is one of them, but when that
young lady finds herself the wife of a
common, everyday, human man, and
the mother of several healthy children
she may regret that it is impossible to
swap culture for crackers. To trans
late Latin into English is good if the
translator can also translate flour into
bread. If but one of the accomplish
ments is to be had the choice should
be easily made. A person may be
rich (in money) but riches "make pin
ions for themselves to fly."' The only
wealth which neither time nor fate
ran chang is that which is stored away
in the form of practical knowledge.
We are glad to notice that mnch is
being done in the way of teaching the
rudiments of road building in the
ehools of Eastern states. "The New
Sotnh," too, is beginning to know that
roads are an important fact jr in the
development of any section, and our
state and county have been wrestling
with the question for many years,
without any very great degree of suc
cess, we are sorry to say. True, tim
bered countries like Northwestern Or
egon, where such quantities of precip
itation maintain the greater part of
the year, make good roads difficult
thing to keep up. But we believe tbe
lime is not far distant when our peo
plo will unite on some practical meth
od, and its successful execution will
be the result. Hoad building is fully
equal in importance to anything now
taught in schools, and infinitely more
important than much that is given
greater prominence.
A Kentucky paper which has for a
long time been trying to save the
democratic party, "all by itself," has
given up the fight since the party
took tip the salvation business the
other day. The editorial which an
nounces the abandonment of the
enterprise is a curiosity in circnmlocii'
tion, and a fine specimen of trying to
"come down," while maintaining the
appearance of stilt roosting high.
Properly translated it would read about
this way: "We have done our best,
but we fear that notwithstanding our
splendid efforts everything is going to
the devil; but we feel it a duty to get
back in the band wagon and go to the
devil with the old party, and all its
sins, provided we are given dilettante
considcration'and are allowed to return
to a seat al the first table. Of course
we think this much ought to bo
accorded to ua for old time sake; but
tbe. fact is we have to no along if . we
only net the scraps. We're out of
meat. '
A NATURAI lUl-UOCK.

Kindly Remembered.
Last Sunday afternoon Mrs. M. 0. Gray
who had been quite sick for several day?,
was called on by a host of young friends,
who brought beautiful boquets and pre-
swniea mem as an expression 01 svmpmnv.
Flowers und happy fuces tilled the room in
deliance of eVtr,vtliiiiK pert lining to gloom

which conveyed what words could not, It
sent toy to the heart and brouuht forth
word of deep gratitude. Although the
flowers may fade and lose their fragrance,
