ED'S AND PROP will undoubtedly result in a more equita ble recognition of the people's rights from these great common carriers. This will result in many new trade centers which are now being held back through inequit able rates. The time will come when freight will be hauled on a mileage basis. When thi is done every individual com munity will stand on its own resources and will not be made to pay tribute to certain favored centers as now is the case.

Senator Bailey of Texas, a Democratic leader of note, comes out with the bold statement that he does not believe that Mr. Bryan is sincere in his advocacy of government ownership of the railroads. California for years shipped Oregon apples under the brand of "California fruit" and now Seattle is importing stale eastern eggs and selling them under the seductive label of "Fresh Oregon Eggs." The critical buying public recognizes our superior products and are easily deceived for a time by such misrepresentations. However there should be some way to protect our reputation, i rv I iew carpets and Kugs j We have had cause to blush for shame so often since so many of our represent ative men have been convicted and sent enced to the penitentiary for land frauds that a few more or less will make no difference. Let the good work go on, if our public men have not sufficient honor to represent their constituents, why should we extend sympathy, when their theiving is exposed. The day in Oregon is past when a public trust can be recognized as I a private graft. Franklin P. Mays, who was convicted yesterday comes from one of the honored pioneer families of the state. He has been honored with positions of trust, time and again, but since the lime light of publicity had been turned on his political and criminal machinations there remains little cause for regret at his personal downfall. Arriving Daily. W. H. BOHNRNKAMP CO There may be little real necessity for the United States to send warships to Cuba to look after the American inter ests; but in spite of the lack of absolute necessity the presence of the ships there may have a good effect. It will show the other republics that America is active in looking after her own citizens. It is an object lesson which may be of value. The government while slow at times is equally sure. It took the prosecutors quite a while to get ail of their evidence before the jury in the recent land fraud case but when it finally went to the jury it required oniy a few hours to bring in a verdict. Special District Attorney, Fran cs J. Henny, will certainly go down in history as a terror to evil doers, and the end is not yet.

A LITTLE TALK ON ICE CREAM SODA MOT BETTER THAN THE BEST BIT BETTER THAN THE REST To maintain the reputation we have acquired for supplyidg the needs of our many patrons in every department, a reputation we point to with pardon able pride, we want, now, to advise you that we have opened our soda fountain with a new line of crushed fruits and fruit juice which excel any which we have ever had, and while we may occasianly find a party who has nev tried one of our delicious ICE CREAM SODAS we find a hun dred who have, and do, and always will, because they want the best and appreciate a fine article. We have some new flavors this year which are going to be of universal favor on account of their delicate flavors.

OR Within a fe.v years Japan will be rais ing a large amount of wheat in Manchuria This for a time may effect our present Pac;fic coast importations but it may possibly he the means of creating a great er demand for white bread in China, as these two nations are be rg drawn closely together.

Only 82 years old "I am only 82 years old and don't expect even when I get to be real old to feel that way as long as I can get Elec tr' B!"ers'" says Mrs. E. H. Brunson. of Dublin, Ga. Surely there's nothing else keeps the old as young and makes the weak as strong as this grand tonic medicine. Dyspepsia, torpid liver, in flamed kidneys or chronic constipation are unknown after taking Electric Bitters a reasonable time. Guaranteed by New lir Dru? Co.
