Bleeding Kansas has evident

The Supreme court of the

decision of the lower courts in
Texas, which held that the
National Cotton Oil Co had for
feited its right to do business in
that state. This was an un
expected blow to the Cotton Oil
trust.
WE CROW
In 1900 the U S Census takers
found the aggregate wealth of
the people of the' United States
to be $94,300,000,000. Since then
statisticians report an increase
of . $10,700,000,000 an annual
growth of $2,550,000,000 mak
ing the total wealth of all the
people aggregate $105 billions
of dollars. This is nearly one
quarter of the entire wealth of
the whole world, and more than
the combined wealth of the
United Kingdom composed of
England. . Ireland, Scotland,
Wales and of Germany.
Secretary of Agriculture in a
recently published report says:
'Tha valita nf all Hi A nrninrt.a
"w I "
grown on the farms in the U S
in the year 1903 and 4 exceeded
the value of all the gold and
silver taken f.om all the mines
of th6 world since Columbus
discovered America in 1492, a
period of 412 years." ;
We are going to be on ex
hibition this year. In other
words we are going to entertain
a great many home seekers.
Consequently we should have a
little more than our ordinary
pride and should keep our front
door yards looking their very
best.
Men are seemingly very scarce
in the city of Portland judging
from the. press in that city with
reference to the difficulty they
are having in "electing a man
for mayor also to 611 Jack Math
ew's place, who resigned a few
days ago, the chairmanship of
the Republican county central
committee, better known through
out the state as the ''machine."
Old Yamhill county is serious-
ly considering whether or not
to ask that the referendum of
house bill N 870 which carries
an appropriation of over $1,000-
000. The cause of the aeeita-
tion is due to the large appropri
ations for the four state Normal
schools. It is evident that the
next legislature will reduce the
number of the Normals in this
state to at least two if not one.

to be an active candidate for
Governor on the Republican
ticket. His active work at the

The railroad question is now
being presented to the people of
the United States and the logical
results will be that unless the
government acts promptly and
with a firm hand and secures an
equitable freight rate, the people
will demand absolute govern
ment owner, hip which will
come sooner or later, and the
sooner the better. The trans
portation questien is the one
question if solved right, that will
be a leading factor in controling
other trusts.

The edtablishment of a branch
creamery in Pendleton by the
Grande Ronde . Creamery Co
means much to the cream pro
ducers of this county. It in
sures a market for all the cream
that can be produced for a
number of years at least. In
other words it means that this
creamery can use double or
more cream, by reason of this
additional market than it would
be possible otherwise. Grande
Rondfe Valley is rapidly increas
ing her dairy products and this
means a market for the increase.
JUICY MEATS
