TOTAL REGISTRATION IS 1580 Prospects for Very Large Vote in June. Reglatcring Was (Blow Karlj In the Year-Urand Ilusli at tho Closing Time. The largest vote overcast In Columbia County will be cast on the 4th of next month, except, of course, the one cast in the Presidential election of IHtHi, whan about 1800 voters registered their sentiments here. The County Clerk on Tuesday afternoon at 6 o'clock closed the registration books and the total number of voters registered wa 1511. Dillon precinct remains the banner one in the County, notwithstanding the fact that about H) voters were cut out of our territory when Warren precinct was created. In no year in a Slate and County election has there ever been over 275 voles cast in thia precinct, but tho registration now are 26i, whirh, with the 83 vote in Warren, shows the vote of the original Union precinct to be 341.

The ronl cause for this augmented num ber of people is the demand within our County's borders for labor. Industry and business activity is on overy hand, and when such conditions exist there is demand for labor. There are almost as many registrations in Union precinct today as there were vote cast in taw, when our territory waa larger, because there are many more men employed hero In various avocations, receiving mora wage fot'thoir etfort, with greater incentive to strive for future results.

Will Haorlflce Hvcrythlng for One or Two Oflloes. Deserted Their Principle. Tim Bryanite-ftiNion-for-ofllce combi nation in this County Is rustling with a tenacity which surely entitles them to lie called bustlers. They are laying par ticular stress upon tho fact that they propose to elect the sheriff at tlie sacri fice ol everything else, and to accom plish that they must have Republican votes. Thoro is not the iligbtest reason why any Republican should desert any part of his ticket. Plnce the two tickets side by side and carefully compare thein, and If the Republican does not in every respect compare with the fusion-for-of-llce candidate, then discrimination can be excused ; but there is no reasonable grounds for such action. The Populist ollice-hiinling blood hound are on the sliil hunt for weak-kneed voters, know ing full well that they dare not come out on political issues, realizing that since Republicanism has restored our County to business thrift and industrial activity Populism bus no claim upon the intelligence of the voters or no demands that it can force for the slightest recog nition from the labor and money-earning portion of our population. Populists will tell you there is no politics In county oflices, and when they do so they dis credit their own utterances.. It is all politics with them, for without the of fices their prestige and organization would crumble and disappear from the minds of the people, being entirely and absolutely without a vistige of principle to recommend them to the consideration of the people. And again, if successful, even in the humblest way, they Bland up and howl themselves hoarse over the triumph of their party principle, Kvery man on cacti ticket is presumed to rep resent the principle of the party which nominated him, ami If elected would work to carry out those principles. If such is doubted by any voter let him assist in electing any one of the Popu list candidates and see if there is not as much rejoicing by tho Populiels as if their Representative which U purely political hail been elected. We do not believe any Republican in this County will desert any of the nominess of his party;, but it is well enough to sound the note' of warning. in order to put 'who might have a tendency to do to on his guard. Make up your mind to vote the ticket straight, and stay with it. If yon will turn buck the paces of history to but four short year ago, where in its annals are recorded the blight our coun try received as a result of Democratic misrule, when an army of almost innumerable thousands of people was without employment: when starvation and death stated million of people in the face because of lack ol opportunity to earn a few dollars, and Compare those times with tho conditions of to.lav. w hen demand for labor is unprecedented and tho remuneration lor labor being com mensurate with tho demand, ask your self the simple questiou whether or not tho country is any better ol! under the present method ol running It compared with the plan of four years ago.

Ever since the republican party went Into power in 1807 and the country grew prosperous, the pop papers have sneered about "McKinley prosperity," and Bryan himself has insinuated that times are no better now than during the late panicky Democraticadininistration; but at last the Times ba been forced to drop its calamity bowling and admit that times are prosperous, and that labor is "receiving the highest wages ever paid on the Coast." Does anybody want to vote away the country's prosperity and return again to Democratic rule and ruin. Yes I A few politicians want to. But tho American people will not do it. Tho Teacher's Thankless Job. One of the most thankless iohs in all the world is that of tlio school teach er : more especially that of a principal. If he has done his duty, he ha raised the ire of some unreasonable and un reasoning parent, wboisimmediatelyout after his or her scalp and so he must go. The teacher with a rubber back bone (even though with a leather head) who never did anything excepting to smirk and look pleasant, escapes all this, and so is retained from year to year by the board. Borne of the best ones, too, are retained by the board. There is too much of namby-pamby business in our schools. Discipline should be maintained, and teachers should not be turned out for maintain ing it, or on account of the spite of parents who should know better. We do not mean by this a discipline of cruelty, or even of harsh severity; but - l : ' 1 ,i a - . . h uiscipiiiio oi nrnuiesB. savorinv ui reason.

"In few years, a very few years, Ore gon will no longer be the large state it now is, but will be divided, a whs Da kota," said a man from Eastern Oregon, a few days ago. It is not because the present territory Is too large lor a single stale government, but for entirely various other reasons. "Two distinct classes of people com pose Oregon's population, and their ideas and environment are entirely dis similar. It is thi diversity of interests and opinions that will result i it a new slate being carved out of historic Oregon. 'When the state is cut up the divid ing lino will run along the mountains. The Eastern Oregon people will demand a seperute state, and will receive it. llie Coast and Willamette Valley win comprise the other. hven now tncre is a strong teenng in Eastern Oregon in favor of a seperate statehood. At the last session of the Legislature Representative Fred Stanley. of LaOrande, made the proposition, but it was regarded more in tlio light ot a joke than otherwise. Ere long people will discover that there ta no joke about it. and I am informed that at the next session of the Legislature, a bill will be introduced as a sort jof 'feeler.'

A Hwlminlnff Fractions Horse Re sponsible for the Misfortune Body Recovered. William Clark, of Warren, aged 21 years, son of H. H. Clark, of that place, was drowned at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon while engaged in driving cattle on the Copeland place, opposite Warren. The unfortunate man was as sisted in the work by one of Gosa's sons, and nt tho time of the accident they were driving some cattle from one high ridge of land to another. Clark was on horseback, and tho animal was swim ming in about thirty feet of water, when it became fractious and managed to throw the rider from its back. Whether injured or not, Clark seemed to be per fectly helpless in the water, and sank almost immediately. Help waa sum moned and the body recovered about two hours after the accident happened.

STRICTLY ONE PRICK TO ALL IS A MANWORSHIPING ISSUE Populist Slogan Is to Vote for the Man. Hare Entirely Abandoned Principle and are Now Howling Loud . for the Oflices. The PopuliHt fuslon-forofllce element Inthiscounty is "up against it." "Hop ing, scarcely daring to hope." They have completely abondoned the political ship and are attempting to steer the wreckage of thei r old hula into the harbor of at least one office. The wreck will scarely bear its cargo of a lew broken down politicians, even with bodies en tirely submerged, but as oiowiy arms hither and thither, bulfeted by every gale, the distress signal is seen above the wild waves to bear tne inscription : "Vote for us; we want the offices." When the campaign of 18SMI opened the populist ship was seen to sail forth with good prospects for a successful voyage, but storms were encountered and as the journey was continued more serious obstacles were met, when it was soon seen necesHary to heave orei board the fast decaying cargo ol nau political nrinci uie. one consignment at a time. until at present nothing remains. but a political derelict nounnering upon me billows of Republican prosperity and progress. 2ot one word ot pontcai argument is presented by the demor alised forces of Populism, free silverism, liryanism, uemagogoisra anu repuui ationists. except that they propose to split their ticket and elect one or two men it pobsinie. ine neany iouu reg istered votes in this county is another dangerous reel on the hazardous coast of crumbling Popocracy, one which it was not expected to encounter. The In crease in the voting population is by no means nn encouraging weatner aog on the political horizon. Such breakers ahead were scarcely expected, but when Republican prosperity, such as now exists, fasten its hold upon the steering course of the poor old baterca nuia, Bryanism cannot expect clear sailing, as the waves of business activity are cer tain to send it whirling to the bottom of the pool. Everywhere obstacles con front the wreckage and hope of reaching a haven is now almost entirely aban doned. Gravestones erected to the uselessnees of Populist doctrine are seen on every hand, ana monument niter monument is building to commemorate in the hearts and minds of the voters tlio good results which have followed the re-establinhmeni of Republican rule. Forests teeming with a tolid, moving mass of human beings striving to keep apace with the demand for the product, work shops and factories crowded with orders for work; unprecedented demand for laborers in nil avocations ; farmers unable to supply the demand for the product of their farms to feed the months of millions of wage earners all these are difficult waters for the feeble old shin of Populism to navigate. Verily the journing has become so hazardous that the ship is entirely deserted and the few remaining particles are left merely to remind the builders that the material used was of blamed poor qual ity. But the howl for popular man promises no better results than the ship so poorly constructed that it could not survive the storm. The difference between the parties that are now asking the suffrage of the people is principle for the one and lack of principle for the other.. The Republican party has a fixed purpose a principle to defend and uphold, precepts which today are recog nized by all people and all nations as meaning some good to the country. No man is bigger than the Republican party, while with the Populists it is solely and absolutely the man, no matter what he may advocate and how vicious and disastrous to good govern ment, industry and progress bis senti ments mav be. The story briefly told is that Populism has absolutely nothing to commend it to the consideration of the voters, while on the other hand every thing is speaking and heralding broad cast recommendations for the Repub lican party and the principles it advo cates. , Blank note and receipt books for sale at this office.
