the actual demands of business. How
ever the railroads are doing everything
within their power to get cars as speedily
as possible. It is not every country that
outgrows their transportation facilities.
Asa rule, auch companies keep in advance
of the development and are great factors
(n assisting such general development, but
tho past two years have been a record
breaker.
Chehalis Washington will soon vote up
on the propasition of a municipal water
and electric light plant.
The revocation of free passes will un
doubtedly have tha effect of lessening the
lobby that usually ia in great evidence
during the session of the legislature.
Crime seems to be running with a high
hand in Portland. . Hardly a day passes
but what some one is either murdered or
waylaid. The police are apparently pow
erless.
While it is all speculation at- this time,
who will be the standard bearer on the
Republican ticket in 1 908, there ia no
question but what Mr. Bryan will be
called upon for the third time to lead the
Democrats, and ii the Republicans per
mit the trusts and corporations to control
their convention, they will have trouble in
maintaining their old time majorities. Mr.
Bryan has been before the people for
many years and the masses are not as
afraid of him as they were a few years
ago.
Walla Walla ia undergoing a smallpox
scare. A number of cases have been re-
porcea 10 tne neaitn omcer and it is
thought that many have net been report
ed wnere no physicians have been called.
This sounds natural to Oregonians.
There is a dead lock in the Rhode Island
legislature over the election of a United
States senator." Thanks to tha good
judgment of our people, we have passed
such possibilities.
With slab wood from the Grande Ronde
LuTiber Company at Perry, the Palmer
Lumber Company of this city, with the
possibility of another large saw mill being
located in this vicinity, the question of
fuel will not be such a serious matter
another year.
United States Senator elect Norris
Brown of Nebraska will give President
Roosevelt another member of the upper
house who can be depended upon. Brown
gained great prominence in his state as a
trust fighter. While holding the office of
Attorney General he dissolved the Ne
braska grain and lumber trusts.
A bill is before the legislature of Wash
ington for a direct primary law quite
similar to tha Oregon law. This law has
worked wonders for Oregon and with
such a splendid record befor. them, unless
the bosses own the Washington legisla
ture, they will pass the bill.
Senator Spooner gave Senator Tillman
such a dressing down in the senate yes
terday that made the wielder of the pitch
fork writhe but he had to take hie med
icine which was full strength. For once
Tillman has found a man whom his bull
dozing policy does not throttle.
Lewiston and Clarkston have raised
$9000 to advertise the two cities. The
committee on subscription started out to
raise $10,000 and say that victory is in
sight. With such a spirit, is it any wonder
that the city of Lewiston is growing?
The cold wave has resulted in not a few
stoves which are connected with water
mains, exploding. A Northport Wash
ington man waa seveny injured. It is
well to be cautious.

The trend of the times is reflected by
the messages of the many governors, aent
to their respective legislatures. From
coast to coast, the rights of the common
people are receiving attention as never
ore. Machine politics will soon be a
thing of the past. One of the factors
that is to bring this about is the large in
dependent vote that is growing with each
election, mis country should mainU n
two dominant political parties and this
indepent vote will force them to adopt aid
carry out their platforms. The time was
when platforms were framed with the
intention of carrying them to victory but
too often these only proved to be election
promises. Action, not promises, counts
in this age.
