America for Americana, "liong May It wave O'er th Horns of the Free and tbe Land of Uie Brave." AKERICAS YEAH OF A HUNDRED TEARS A comparison of Ihe territorial area and tha national influence of the United States in 1898 with those of 1793 will how the vast material and moral advance which this country has made in 100 years. In the historical books 1733 does not figure with any . prominence, bat is reality it is an im pottaut landmark in the country's ex pansion. It was just a hundred years ago that the provisions of the treaty of peace with England in 17S3 were tally and finally carried out. Fur fifteen years after that date the United States, in its endeavors to secure the bound aries guaranteed in that agreement, was obstructed by two nations, Eng- laua ana Hpainv lna joniisn avis possession of posts at Oswego, Niagara, Detriot and other places in the United States territory on the northern front ier until Jay's treaty, which, among other things, provided for their evacua tion, went into operation in 1796, and even then the work of abandonment was carried on with a slowness which was exceedingly exasperating to the people of the United States. With Spain, however, the United States bad much more trouble in caring its treaty rights under the agree ment of 1783 than it had with Eng land. Then, as now, Spain was slow in grasping the justice of and demand 1 . by any other nation, and in that par ticular crisis the situation for this coun try was rendered doubly embarrassing by the fact that Spain was still one of (he great powers of the earth, while . the United States was only an insig- ui Scant spot on the map and bad no rights which any of the great nations felt bound to respect. Spain contended that the Florida region which she Rained from it, d gland during tbe war of the American revolution, and which extended west to the Mississippi, went as far north as tbe mouth of Yazoo, abont the parallel of 32 north latitude, which would make the southerly line of the United States on the Mississippi end at that point. Both England and the United States, on the other hand, insisted that this country's southern boundary went down to latitude 31. A.l last the protests and threats of tbe United States and Spain's dangers in the Napoleonic wars then under way compelled the latter to accede to the American demands. Spain did this in the treaty of San Lorenzo of 1795, which waa ratified by the senate in 1796, bat 1793 arrived before the Span ish flag went down in Natchez, the most important town in the territory in dispute, and the stars and stripes went up. Then, fifteen years after the treaty of independence, and just a hundred years ago, the title of the United Stales to all its territory be tween the Atlantic and the Mississippi, and from the great lakes to the Florida line, was definitely confirmed. America's situation in 1898, mater ially and morally, makes a striking contrast with that of 1798. On the day when Gayoso's forces lowered their flag in Natchez and sailed down to New Orleans, tbe person who stepped below the southerly line of Georgia, into the lower end of what is now the state of Mississippi, or who crossed the Mississippi river, would be in a foreign land. We were surrounded on three sides by powerful nations. England was north of us as now, and Spam was south and. west of us, as she held Flor ida, which comprised the present state of that name and a strip westward along tbe southerly line of what are now tbe states of Alabama and Missis si pi to the Mississippi river, and she had all of the region west of the river.' The population of the country waa about 5,000,000. The Louisiana ces sion and all tbe other annexations were still in the distance. Nobody j co.M have forseen at that time thai the narrow Btrip of populated area east of the AHoghpnies, with the scarcely less diminutive stretch of wilderness between those mountains and the Mis-1 sissippi would ever reach the Guif of Moxieo and the Tacifio, Much leas could anybody have forscen then thai this country wou'ki annex ail of Rus sian America, absorb all the islands of value in the Gulf of Moxieo, and ac quire possessions scattered through the Pacific extending alumni to the couti nnt of Asia. The growth of America from an ares of 827,000 square miles and a population of 5,000,000 in 179S to an area of 3,800,000 square miles and a population of 85,000,000 in 1898, attended as it has been by a rise from a position in which its enmity bud no menace for evou the feeblest of foreign states to one in which its friendship is sought by the most powerful nation of the earth, represents a physical and moral advancement which has no par allel in the annals of the world. Christmas has come and gone leav ing in its flight very pluasaiilji-ecolleo tions of happy hours, and doubtless many regrets for misspent lime and neglected opportunities to add to the sum of happiness they might have given to fellow-mortals. Nineteen hundred years have gone into the past eternities since Christ was born, whose memory this day has been con secrated. Yet few seem to realize any more eacredness attending its observ ance than they do to Independence day. Christmaa may now be classed with the other numerous holidays slowly passing into desuetude along with other old church festivals. religions significance is on the wane in Protestant countries. It is being observed more as a time lor feasting, hilarity, and revelry than ought else. Its greatest practical good is its tirae- boaored custom of making friends happy by exchange of keepsakes or souvenirs of love and esteem. In this light Christmaa is a humanizing insti tution, and deserves to be observed for that, if not for an expression of our devotional feelings. The former, how ever, need not absolve ns from the lat ter. The youths soon learn the decep tion practiced npon them by the im position of a mythical Santa Claus and hence they somewhat logically look npon Unristmas in mucb tbe same light and query in their minds. Is not Christmas as unreal as old Santa Claus all a hoaxT And thus intuitively dis regard the sancty of the day. For Santa Clans and Christmas are always associated together. Next Monday morning we will en ter upon tbe duties of another year, which gives promise of being a most successful one in every line of com mercial industry, and.it should be with a determination of spirit on the part of every person to lead his entire and absolute will and power to the accom plithment of commendable undertak ings. Theie is a vast amount of work to be accomplished, and none should falter in the performance of their duties. We slated only a few days ago that when a town ceases to grow it begins to die, and for this reason we must ex ercise our best judgment lor tbe ac complishment of things within our reach that will cause our little town to keep on growing and in-proving. Look well first to that which is at hand, and more extensive and valuable matters will present themselves as we become prepared to properly treat them, Guard well that which is already possession. There are many matters for the future welfare of St. Helens which will oome up for serious consid eration and reflective deliberation dur ing the year just at hand, and we must not treat them with disregard. The numerous natural advantages pos sessed by this place require but slight degree of attention to develop, and maturity of small undertakings lead up to belter and more commend able acquisitions in the future. Just now, the thing easiest of accomplish ment and of as great importance as sny is the co-operation of our town's folk in the thorough improvement of the road over the mountain into Ne- balem valley. Next Monday morning is a splendid lime in which to begio the preliminary preparation for this undertaking. It is easily within our reach and we should, by all means, grasp the opportunity and proceed with its accomplishment with the com ing of spring. For Better Aoada. The county court has addressed tbe fol lowing circular letter to ibe taxpayers of tbe several road districts of Linn county: Tbe subject of good roads is becoming an all-absorbing question. Its consideration is not confined to Oregon. There seems to tie a general awakening along this line throughout the land. It has become tbe topic for leaders In oar magazines, news papers and agricultural journals; it is dis cussed in conventions, granges and social meetings by all classes of Interested people. Public sentiment is rapidly growing in th direction tbat tbe county can spend no money so profitable, and enlist no genius so usefully as in making permanentgood roads, When the stupendous aggregate of th trans portation on our roads is considered, we can partially realize tbe cost resulting from bad roads. . . "The prosperity of our eonntry depends so largely on the prosperity of our farmers. that everything possible should be done to render life in the rural districts agreeable as well as profitable; and nothing, it seems to us, would conduce more to the comfort. happiness and prosperity of our people than the systematic and permanent improvement of onr public highways. To the end tbat the people may bare better service in road I building in Linn county, we request each road supervisor to call a meeting of th voters of their respective district to con vene during the mouth of December, 1S)3, at some central point In said district, for tlis purpos of discussing and laying plans fur next season's road work. One thing nces aiy .to ecuiiomkal and successful rc'-l-bnilding as operated under the present in adequate road laws of Oregon, Is th eeleo lion of a quulltled supervisor. At this meet ing we suggest that tu voters present some energetic, substantial resident of your dis trict as supervisor for 1899. The residents of a road district art much more familiar with their wants and know much better than any county court who is the best man among them for supervisor. Select the most pushing and enthusiastic) road man in your district, without regar.i to his religion, pol itics, or color of bis hair. Send his uam to the county court, and at tin January term w will gladly appoint blm supervisor of your district for 18U9. Let us take holddur the new year and luitiate a vigorous perma nent road-improvement era in this county.' SJcio News. CLATSKANIK NOTES. Hiss Louisa Barr and sister wer down from Portland Friday. Mr. and sirs. Frank Tracy, of Vernonia have been spending a few days with J. D. Lewis and family at th Clatskanle hotel. The masquerade party at Merrill's hall drew a number of people from adjacent towns, and was pronounced a pleasant oc casion generally. Road Supervisor Wood and a few men hav been planking a few mud holes and making some other temporary repair on the public road near town. Our sheriff, J. M. Kice, .was in town on Monday, and it might not be out of plac to remark, just as an accidental occurrence, that O. A. Banford, tbe News man, was in town th same day. Andrew Yokola and two other men were capsized from a boat on th rivv near Eu reka cannery, on Saturday evening, and Yokola waa drowned. B resided near R, Q. Davys.and was an industrious Finlandor. Th people of Hazel Grove had a Christ mas tree at the schooJnouse, and enjoyed themselves in the distribution of candy and little presents. A like gathering occurred at Quincy schoolhouse, both on Saturday evening. Our neighbor, C. W. Jones, of Hazel Grove, seems to meet with frequent acci dents, and added another to th list a week ago which is keeping him in the house, la catting a log for wood he fell several feet, injuring bis back and side quite seriously Mr. O. J. Bryant is having his meadow ploughed when tha weather permits. The meadow of Adam Barr, just above, has also been tamed over by the plough. Both of these fields have baea famous grass pro ducers when th high water did not inter fere, and a re-sowing will bring them up again free from the weeds that were begin ning to get a hold. The Christmas tree exercises at th church a Saturday evening wer so generoaaly patronized tbat tbe crowd was somewhat oppressive, tha management failing to pro vide seats or even standing room for many who desired to be inside. A pair of ever green trees very tastefully decorated con stituted quite an attracuon, and a pro- programme of music and recitations added materially to the interest of the occasion Tnis being ended, th distribution of pre' euts that bad been brought in took up tbe time for an additional half boor, after which there was a general distribution of box of candy and sack of nuts as far as they would reach, for the crowd exceeded the committee's estimate, and the 223 packages prepared failed to go around. Tbe juniors, however, were all supplied, and quite a por tion of the older ones who wished, so that all passed off pleasantly. Such gatherings suggest lbs necessity for s larger hall than we have, or an addition to the church building, and show tbat our town is grow ing. ' Supt. J. McGuire, of th A. ACS. R. spent several hours in town on Tuesday, He explained to our business men tbat he was ready and willing to give work to any steady men who would remain with them but the section work would have to be done at th same rate as on the Northern Pacific and other roads, tbe condition of business not justifying larger wages. He explained further, tbat the operatives generally, office and train men, wer all on reduced salaries, while tbe laborers on tbe const rod ion work bad not been reduced, and a present reduc tion was not proposed. The Jsps bad been pat on section work to replace men who re fused to work at f 1.25 per day. Supt. Mc Guire was assured by our business men that they regretted the disorderly and dis reputable work of tbe few men who injured the railroad property and committed acts of lawlessness recently, snd would assist in bringing them to jusiiceshould tbey become known. There is a friendly feeling here toward the railroad, and an appreciation of the benefits it has brought us. VERNONIA VARIETIES. Mrs. R. Sesseman is quite ill this week, Mr. J. P.
