Why do the heathen rage? The ed
itor o( the Mist is not worrying in the
least. After it is all over he will still be
here, working in the interest of Columbia
County.
When the people do the dealing, if they
don't get a square deal it is their own
fault. Remember this and be sure to
vote at the primary election on April 20th
Mr. Frank C. Baker lias mnde an ef
ficient chairman of the Hcpublican
State Central Committee. As an orga
niser of victory ho has no superiors,
and he is certainly entitled to the grati
tude of the party for his good work, lie
ays he dont want anything, but if lie
changes his mind we hope he will get
it.
EXT FRIDAY.
Only one week before the primary
election occurs. Let every one who is
entitled to vote be sure to be present and
cast his ballot for the men w hom he be
lieves the be?t calculated to serve the
state and the county. Don't vote your
prejudices, but vote your principles, aud
endeavor to induce your neiglitior to do
the same. If you don't like the names
presented on the primary ballot, remem
ber that there is a blank space under
the name of the candidate for each and
every office, and that yon can write in
the name of some other candidate not
on the list. Don't fail to vote for some
candidate for each office. It is the Krsl
time the people have had an opportuni
tv to name their candidates, ami if the
result is not satisfactory it will be con
sidered an impeachment of the law and
will strengthen the efforts of those who
desire its repeal. Therefore vote.
Republicans should remember that al
though this is a strong Republican
county, its people are xceedingly inde
pendent. On local matters they will
vote the ticket if it suits them, and if it
don't suit them they won't vote it.
Therefoie let us secire a ticket that no
Republican will have just cause to bolt,
and then put our shoulders to the wheel
and give it a uniform majority of about
600.
AX HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
The death of Dr. C. G. Caples, of
Columbia City, again suggests to our
minds the neceseity of an historical soci
ety in Columbia County. The pioneers
are passing away and soon there will be
none left to tell the tale of the settle
roant of this section of the state, and of
the hardships, pleasures and associa
tions of the olden times. The files of
the Mist for a number of vears have
been destroyed, and there is no written
record of the many who have crossed
the great divide in nearly a quarter of a
century of its existence. As the pio
neer paper of the county, we feel it is
appropriate that the Mist should start
the movement, so that, before it is to
late, data may be secured to perpetuate
the memory of those who made to day
possible. We hope that all who feel as
we do about this matter will let us hear
from them. If you are intimately ac
quainted with the history of 'any p'o
oeer of your neighborhood write it out
and send it to the Mist, together with a
photograph of the person sketched. We
will take charge of this material and
keep it safely till the time comes for its
publication. Events of public interest
should also be sketched, and any mat
ter pertaining to the history of the
county in the pioneer days. In doe
time these sketchef can be wove into a
history of the county, and, together with
engravings of the pioneers, they would
orin a volume that would be exceeding
ly interesting and valuable.
Any letters on this subject will be
promptly and cheerfully answered, and
we Iiojk; this request will meet with a
hearty response from those who are in
terested. COMMUNICATED,
Editor Mist:
Your editorial in the Mist of Mar.
16, commenting on the inflammatory
Debs article, and Socialism, seems to have
touched a tender spot ol the editor of one
ol our country papers. Whether you
annihilated socialism or not, I would not '.
nndertake to say; but I want to commend
3 ou for haying backbone enough and j
brains enough to challenge such treason-'
able and anarchistic utterances as con- j
tained in the Debs article. Wonder what !
your critic has to offer upon the subject? ,
The Debs article may not be worth pay-
ing much aitention to, but it is calculated .
to catch the ear of the kicker and to en-'
courage the weak minded to deeds of
violence; hence to uphold such declara-
tiom, directly or indirectly, is simply
encouraging this kind of actions among
a tew peiple wuo ougnt to be discoun-
l.-niuce'l.

Kanter services wilt be held at the
church Sunday next. The exercises by
the Sundav school will begin at ll:a. m.,
and in the' eveniuc the Y. P. A. will have
some special taster features in its pro

The surveyors for the new R. R., about
fifteen in number, reached our town with
the preliminary survey Friday last. After
spending a couple of days here they
went hack to Hmunsport, where they are
working the route out more iii detail.
We pr -bably shall see them agaiu later

The grange entertainment last Satur
day night at Muckle hall was largely at
tended. A mixed programme was given
which was enjoyed bv all. The receipts
were about 1 17.01). which will go to the
new hall fund.
The question of building a councit
chamber ami jail for the city is being ag
itated. Without a place to confine "dis
orderlies," our city marshal is powerless,
so that a city jail is a positive necessity.
It would also be very convenient to have
a hall for the use of the council, also for
the use of the recorder should ha have
business to transact as a justice of the
peace, so we trust the agitation will result
in action, and that the hall and jail will
be built.
Some have criticiied our use of the
words "local option," in our letter of
last week. It is claimed that the object
of the petition being circulated is really
for "prohibition." Certainly, gentlemen.
All local option laws, when applied to
any particular place, as a town, a city, a
county or precinct, means shutting out
the sale ot liquors as a beverage. So if
we get the vote on June 4th next aud it
carries in the affirmative, it will mean
"prohibition" for Auburn precinct for
two vears. What else could it mean ?
Dont be scared at a word.
BENSON MEETING OPPOSITION.
Frank V. Benson, candidate for the
Republican nomination for secretary of
state, is meeting with some strong oppo
sition on account of hisathliations with
the Booth-Kelly Lnmber company. The
secretary of state is one of the three
members of the state land board, and
Mr. Benson, if nominated snd elected,
would have a voice in the sale and dispo
sition of state school lands and in the
loaning"! the funds derived from sncli
lands. The argument used aicaint him
is that it would be dangerous to place in
such an important office a man who has
had such close business relations with
the Booth-Kelly company, two of whose
officials are under federal indictment for
complicity in the land frauds.
James itenry Doom, secreiary -oi me
Booth-Kelly company, is the largest
stockholder in the Douglas county bank
and was formerly its president. After he
was appointed receiver ol trie Koseourg
land office, about eight years ago, Frank
Benson was selected to succeed him as
president of the bauk. Benson was also
the bank's attorney. The bank was the
depository of the funds of the Roseburg
land omce, uunnij me periou ui we
transactions which subsequently result
ed in the indictment of both Robert A.
and James Henry Booth- It is said that
Benson has acted at times us attorney
for the Booth-Kelly company as well as
for the bank. His law office was in the
same building as the land office.
The government's investigation of the
Rosebure land office brought to light
the fact that Frederick A. Krib and the
Booth-Kelley Lumber Co. were operating
through the Roseburg land office in such
a way as to virtually monopolize all the
vaiuaoie umucr iuuu m mc uu,u.v.
When anyone else sought to file on a
piece of land, the application was held up
until the agents of Kribs and the lumber
company had time enough to examine
I .. F , j i
tne lanu ana ascenam wucvucr il- was ui
sufficient value to take for themselvers.
If it proved valuable they took it. The
evidence brought out before the federal
grand jury a year ago showed fully the
manner in which the officials of the
of the Roseburg land office connived at
the transactions of Kribs and the lumber
company.
The Booth-Kclley Lumber Co. acquired
valuable tracts of state and government
land in Southern Oregon ; they purchased
most of the fine timber lands of the
Southern Pacific railroad, and recently
through a decision of the United States
Supreme Court they gained title to about
100,000 acres of the finest lands in the
Klamath Iudian reservation, most of
whtch are occupied by the Indians.
Benson has three competitors for the
Republican nomination (or Secretary of
State, Claude Catch, Lot Pierce and
Frank Wrightman.
Don't forget to attend the lecture to
night (Thursday) at the M. E. church.
Everybody is invited to attend.
Flat Salary for Mate Printer.
Tie only Republican candidate for
State Printer who has declared for a flat
salary is J. R. Whitney, the present in-
cumbent. In nis plattorm ne says:
I have given this subject careful study,
and believe there are two methods by
which the cost of printing could be kept
down to a minimum. One is to limit the
volume of printing and revise the
schedule of prices upon an up to date
basis, the same as that of commercial
printing generally. The other is for the
State to own and operate itsown printing
plant, and to pay the State Printer a
reasonable flat, fixed salary. Either of
these plans, or similar plans along these
lines, wnicn me ivegisiaiure migm aoopi
for the betterment of the service,
would
meet my hearty support.

Republican Candidate for U. S. Senator
CHAMPION OF STATEMENT
ONE.
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., oan.liJato before the Itepnbli. sn primaries for th liom
ination of UiiiteJ Senator in Conicress, for the long term ronimemliiR March 4
1907, was born in Now BoilforJ, Mass., rVbrosry 2!, ISM; wss a memlM-r ( the
class ot 1877 at Harvard University ; camo to Porll.in.l May lit, 1S7S; was a
Republican member of the Oregon Lruilature i" the . i.ui of 1HK5 ami thn es
tra session of 1S80; was one of Oregon's alentes to the Repul.hran National
Convention of ISiM ami Oregon's member of the Republican Nutionnl Coimuittre
from 1883 to 18l2, and a delegate to the KHpubliran National Convention of 1.SSI'.';
ami was electeJ as a Mitchell Republican to tbo Orcg.ui legislature in l.nl,
Mr. Bourne lias been more prominently identified with the development of the
uiiuvral resources ol Oregon than any other man in the State, having expended
in the last 20 years over Jt.OOO.OOO of his own money in (lis acquisition and de
velopment of Oregon mines.
While Mr. Bourne has had his residence and main oWce at Portland sines 1H78
he has hud another otllce at New Bedford. Mass., and has curried on the busiiiras
of his father's estate since 18. which m ikes hint familiar with many of the
Urge interests and leading men of the Kast. Those n,u:iliication, iiiconjtinctiun
with his energy, originality, executive ability aud experience In btitiiiem and
political afT.iirs, pre-eminently qualify him for making an ablo and InDuentia
Senator for the State of Oreg in.
Mr. Bourne has always favored extending the direct power of the Mopl over
their Government as for as possible. He was on of the leading spirits in ths Initia
tive and Referendum movement from 18tHi until il was approved by the voter

tee of the llireet Priinarj Nou.in:itions Iwgue, and hold the same p-wilion itli
the People's Power league at this time. In all these movements he lm been
one of the few to guarantee tlie neceeaary expense of preparing and proposing
their measures to the people.
He says that the choice of I'niied States Senator sh mid bo by direct vote of
the people, aud th.il the legislature should be compelled to elect the man the
people select. To accomplish this result he is championing Statement No. 1
the piimary elections law as the only method bv which public opinion miiy be
crystallized and made inVtivo upon the legislature.
In his petition for nomination he says:
"If I am nominated and elected, I will during my term of
