Governor Chamberlain, in his address
on Fatnrday las', laid "tres on llio fact
that in time to come Columbia Couuly
would be in much closer contact than it
is toiiay with the metropolis, and that
it mould be fouml profitable tor tliose
Koekina locations for manufacturing lit'
industries to turn their attention thi
way. Milt-ites in the city of IVtland

from this condition of affair, though

ahle extent, owing to the fact that it

not a convenient shipping point as
Hainier, has en!oyed a substantial
growth and will continue to prosper,
even after the convenient limber has
been cut away, as it is the natural out
let of a good farming country which is
certain to develop in pace with the re
moval of the timber. The progress of
St. Helens, on the ;contrary, has been
so slow as to be hardly perceptible, this
being due to the fact that the railroad
skip the town by about a mile. Yet,
with this drawback, St. Helens is as
tnre to become in time a manufacturing
village as was St. Johns, and the fact
that its development has been long de
layed may prove to have been a blessiug
in disguise. It is the county seat. The
noble structure rising on the rivers'
bank settles that question forever. It
possesses stone quarries that are becom
ing more valuable annually, and whose
pay roll will in time exceed that of any
other manufactaring industry in the
county, and it poseeses a water front
capable of being utilized for great man
ufacturing institutions to whom tne
construction of a spur to the Northern
Pacific Railroad at Houlton would be a
very small affair. This development
sure to come, but the time of its begi
nine will depend upon those who are
present resident here. They can delay
it by refusing to stand together and al
lowing petty jealousies and selffchness t
interfere with their own interests
they can advance it by unselfish and
united action. It is probable that in the
near future a business proposition will
be made to the people of this commnni
ty for the establishment of a small
dustrr. It is nothing great or eensa
tional, bat it will be a beginning, and if
secured it will be a great aid to farther
development. Let as qait dependin
npon one or two men for onr prosperity
and see if the men of smaller means
by united action, cannot accomplish
something.
AlVKllTISIXO AND
lMMH'.HKHSi.
The effect of the advertising given
Oregon during the Lewi and Chirk
Kxnosilion is!iut being felt. It has
brought to this '.ate millions of Eastern
capitnl nnd caused capitalist from all
over the Union to seek Investment here.
und it ha made a market forour products
that at present we are unable to fully
tiipplv, owing to the inadequate trail
Donation facilities. The slump thut
many predated has failed to muterialUe,
and instead there has been an enormous
im-reatte in building, in postal receipts.
in bank clearances, and in everything
that indicate fubstuntiul growth and
prosperity. And tin does not pertain to
IVntlmid alone, hut to every section of
ihe State. No man is idle unless he
prefers idleness, and those who are at
work arc receiving t-ie highest wages
em known in Oregon. In view of these
facts thers is nothing to be said against
the policy of advertising the State's
sources, or the resource of every county
in the State. Columbia County is get
ting its full share of this increased pros
oeritv. and new industries are being es
tablished in every p;irt of the county
The good work should be continued, and
as a means to that eud, Columbia Coun
tv's exhibit at the S'.ate Fair shoutd re
ceive the aid nf even' loyal citiien who
ho it in his power to contribute any'
thing for exhibition. It is impossible
for the editor of the Mist, who has
charge of the exhibit, to ee you all, nor
is it necessary. Send in whatever you
have vegetables, grains, fruits d-
dressed to K. 11. Flagg, St. Helens, and
I will do my best to see that the county
receives the attention it deserves.
THE Bl'IJXG SEX.
pre-
will
A writer in a popular monthly
diets that in time to come women
not only have equal rights with men
but they will be the governing sex.
is certain that is the hope of many
them today, and in very many instances
the hope has been realized. A persistent
woman who desires to rule the roost can
always get the best of a peace loving
nian, by a constant system of nagging
and fanlt'finding that will eventually
reduce him to acqniesence or silence,
Give woman the power and it has de
monstrated that she will use it more
mercilessly than men. The male sex
has had control for ages and gaadually
they have conceded measures of justice
to women until there remains but little
for them to demand except the suffrage
and if they are denied this it is probably
because many men fear to give theui
the control. AH history teaches that
women'rulers are tyrannical and cruel.
They are swayed by their passions, and
while some have been great rulers, they
nearly oil nave ueen arbitrary and op
pressive. Catherine of Russia was
more of a wild beast than a woman.
Elizabeth of Kngland loved one day
and sent her lover to tbe block on the
Tower the next. Catherine de Medici
incited the massacre of the Huguenots
and was a rejoicing eye witness of the
horrible affair. There is absolutely
nothing in history to show that female
rulers are more just or more merciful
than men. The world has known kind
hearted male autocrats, but women who
have been born to or achieved supreme
power have always used it in a despotic
manner. Equal sulfrage, so far as it
has been granted in the United States,
has not given great power to women, for
the reason that as yet they have not
used it for that purpose. The wife
generally votes with the husband, and if
not, she votes her own convictions,
without any desire to place her sex in'
control. If suffrage was equal and ques
tions involving sex interest were up for
settlement, the women, if victorious,
would undoubtedly be the rulers of the
men ;but that event is so far in the
future that we may safely leave the men
and women of another century to scrap
it out together, happy in the fuct that
the men of the present day, if not in re
ality the governing sex. ran console
themselves with the semblance if I ot
the reality of power.
THE DRACO DOCTRINE
Ir. Louis M. Drago, of the Argentine
Republic, ha advanced the doctrine that
no nation has a ritrht to undertake to
collect by force debt owing to its citi
zens bv another nation. The doctrine
commends itself to fair-minded people
everywhere. If citizens of the United
States desire to engage in business in any
other country they should be willing to
abide by the laws in force in that country
and be content with such justice as they
are able to secure from its courts. This
is the practice that prevail among the
great nations of tbe earth, and we cer
tainly would fight should any other na
tion attempt to bulldoze our courts into
giving such decisions in favor aliens as
their home governments thought just.
Yet the greater nations interfere fre
quently in the affairs of Ihe South Amer
ican Republic, and no doubt many a
colossal graft ha in this manner been
made possible. The principle advanced
by Dr. Drago is a simple one, and it will
ultimately be recognized as international
law. We have protected Venezuela against
the aggression of lireat Britain, and now
we are called upon to admit that we have
no right, simply because we may have
the power, to force our ideas of financial
justice to private individuals npon any
nation when we would not admit that
they have the same right in regard to their
citizens living and doing business in the
United States. Might has made righ
heretofore, but no nation is greater than
all other nations, ot ever will be, and the
principle will soon be established that
the nations of the earth will insist on in
ternational equity without regard to tbe
comparative strength of the parties to a
contest.

It has been discovered that no pro
vision was made by Congress to cover
the cost of enforcing the pure food law.
The regulations will be promulgated in
September, but the law will not be
actually effective nntil the necessary ap
propriation is made by the next Con
gress. Just suppose, for instance, that
the next Congress should conclude that
we do not need such a law and should
decide to repeal it. Where would we be
at" then ? It would be too bad to have
to wait so long before having this whole
some law enforced, but it would be much
worse to find that eventually we would
never have such safeguards for the pub
lic welfare, lint there is little doubt
that any future session of tbe national
law making body will go ahead and see
that this law, or perhaps even a better
one is strictly enforced.
Ten thousand murders a year in the
United States the darkest criminal
record of any civilized nation on earth.
Are we more brutal than other nations?
We will not admit it. No people are
more fraternul, kind and generous tiian
the American people. The only expla
nation of our ukiuI criminal record lies
in the fact that we are the most lax na-
ion in the world in the enforcement of
our criminal laws. If a man eteuls an
old shot gun the chances are that he
will serve a term in the penitentiary;
f he kills a fellow limn the chances are
that he will go without punishment. In
the ncquital and nonpunishn.eut of our
criminals we have been "flowing the
Dragon's teeth" and are now reaping a
fearful harvest. The Temple of Civiliza
tion is builded on the bed-rock of law.
Ji is the only safeguard of the indi
vidual, the family, the community and
the State.
Governor Chamberluin praised Colum

Business is dull the day they don't kill
a lineman on some of the Portland elec.
trie lines. It's about time for the labor
commissioner to take a band In that
gama.
It may be that some time In the future
Columbia County will see a larger
gathering of happy ieoplo than that
which assembled in the picnic grounds
In this citv on Saturday lost ; but np to
this date it ha had no equal. They
txgtui coming from nearby point early
tit the morning, then the Northern Paci
fic brought about AX) trout Scnppoose
and Warren, the Republla arrived with
the Governor of Oregou, the Cirniid
Lodge of Masons, Parson's fatuous band
o(fixtwn pieces, Mr. Alexander, the
soloist and a number of distinguished
visitors. A tune by the band in front of
the old court house, and then-all took up
the line of march to the picnic grounds.
The A. A C. train was lute, but when it
arrived it brought another crowd from
Clutskauie, the lower Nvhaleui, Rainier,
tioble aud other points along the road,
ami when Judge liattitn arose to start
the proceeding as chairman of the day
he faced a crowd estimated at from 1000
to 1500 people, a very coservative figure
being 1100. Prominent upon the plat
form were n number of the oldest pio
neers of Coulmbia County, and during the
entire day aa especial effort was made
to make the pioneers feel that they
were our honored guests, and we are
sure that in this at least we succeeded.
After music by the band and a solo by
Mr. Alexander, Mr. W. II. Powell deliv
ered the address of welcome on the part
uf the city of St. Helens. He expressed
the community's plcajurein entertaining
so nuny of our fellow citizens of Colum
bia County, and hoped that the spirit of
unity would prevail among as, and that
in the future we would all work together
without any jealousv for the public
good.
iiovernor Chamberlain was next in
troduced, and although he had expre-sly
refused by letter to deliver the principal
address of the day, yet the sitnatiou was
such that he was compelled to do so.
He spoke w ithoot note and proliably
did not occupy more than twenty min
utes, yet hia address may be said to
have Ucn the priucil event of the day
It was without any attempt at oratory,
but tilled with happy thoughts and far-
seeing predictions. He spoke of Colum
bia County as a suburb of the city of
Portland, and predicted that on account
of the lankily increasing value of land
in the metropolis the time was not far
distant when the saw mill and other
factories needing considerable space
would be compelled to come to Colum
bia County for locations and electric
line would bind this county and the
metropolis still closer together. He
evinced a thorough familiarity with the
resources of the county, and praised it
for the fine showing it made at the
Lewis and Clark Centennial.
Hon. J. C. Moreland, of Portland, was
next introdaced and delivered a fine
address to the pioneers of the county.
Judge Moreland is well qualified to
speak on this theme, oi he is himself a
pioneer and well acquainted with the
trials and hardship they endured in
crossing the continent and .during the
early days of the settlement of Oregon.
Ihe program was interspersed with
band music and vocal solos and probably
the best test of its excellence was the
quiet that prevailed and the fact that
hardly a person of the large crowd left
their seat or their standing position.
There was perfect order throughout the
delivery of the three addresses, some
thing most remarkable on such occa
sions.
Then came the dinner. Six hundred
plates had been spread, but many more
people stood at the first table and ate
from the clean paer with which it was
covered. It seemed impossible to make
the crowd understand that there was an
abundance for all, and all thut was
necessary was for those who could not
get to the first table to wait their turn,
and we are sorry to be informed that
some left the grounds without eating.
The arrangements for the dinner were
entirely in the hands of the ladies, and
It is simple justice to say that they were
as near perfection as mortal ever get.
At the head of the long rows of tubies
was arranged the commissary depart
ment, with serving tables on three sides
of another long table used for tliose who
waited on the corps of waiter, who in
turn kept Ihe tables replenished with
the bill of fare, and back of these was
th coffee kitchen, where Mr. M. C,
Gray brewed the beverage which cheers
without intoxicating. The eatables
served were limited to roust beef.
boiled hum, bread and butter, pies and
cakes, coiree, doughnuts, pickles, and
cheese, but everything was of such ex
cellent quality, nnd so well cooked, (lint
it is hard to see how better satisfaction
could have Ix-cn given. They were a
lot of tired women when the night enme, !
uut tney were happy in the fact that
they had done their full part In
maintaining the city' reputation for
hospitality,
Immediately after dinner, at about
2:.'K) p. in., tho Masonic Grand Lodge of
fheKtateof Oregon met at the local
place j lodge room, formed n procession and
marched to the court house, where Ihe
ceremony of the laying of the corner
stone was conducted in an impressive
manner by (irand Master Williamson.
of Portland, assisted by the Grand
Lodge officer. j
The last feature of the day' program
was the races between gasoline launches
on the river, about twenty boat partici
pating. There were two race. The first
rsc was for launebts of three and four
how power, (he distance- being about n
milu and a quarter to the Mak boat.
There werw nine entries, John Lvnintf

The second race w for boats of
smaller power, the entries Ih-'iii! IVrvy
Harrison, lav Young and Alfred (ieorge,
Harrison being the winner, and the
prizes JA, f:i and ru.-cvlivcly.
And then the hull in the evening or,
rather the two balls with orchestras
of live pieces in each hall, ltoth hails
were well tilled. The intisia was nil
that Terpsichoie could B-k for, nnd
nothlhit occurred to imir the plciisuro of
the tUncets, who enjoyed themselves
free of cost until Ihe clock struck the
hour of midnight, and then quite a num
ber of them nttended the dance at our
sinter city of Houlton.
