A few more days like this and the

farmers are ready.
The state jute mill is not looked upon
with favor by the legislature and the
bill isnot expected to receive favorable

The city election gives promise, of be

days in which to bring out your petitions.
If you are going to be in the race, better
prepare for the start.
With plenty of moisture and an abun
dance of sunshine combined with the best

never is any question in the Grande

THOMAS CONDON
In the death of Professor Thomas Con
don the state of Oregon suffers a distinct
loss. His was a life and character that
has left an indelible impression upon the
state that time can never efface. As an
educator he has tanked with the fore
most men of his time, as a citizen his
life was a model after which young men
were wont to fashion their on lives and
were always given a higher conception
of what constitutes ideals of citizenship
by coming in contact with him. As a
scientist, he was unexcelled by any man
in the West and steod on a level with the
geologists, of his day. He understood the
geological formation of Oregon as thcr
oughlyas if he had made earth formation
himself and his works, both written and
otherwise, will stand as a lasting monu
ment to his genius. 4
The entire slate of Oregon will feel
keenly the doath of this gieat and good
man.
POLITICS AND POLITICIANS
Charles E, Hughes, Governor of New
York; Edward C, Stokes, Governor of
New Jersey, and James H. Higgins, Gov
ernor of Rhode Island, are graduates of
Rmw Univsrity.
John P. St. John, who was the first
Prohibition governor of Kansas, is now
living at Brownsville, Texas, where he
has made a fortune during the past few
years in land speculation.
Percival W. Clement, the twice-defeat-
candidate for Governor of Vermont, has
been sued by Senator Redfield Proctor
on the ground that he has converted to
his own use for political gain certain pro
perty belonging to the Rutland Herald,
in which paper both men are interested
as stockholders.
Senator Taliafero of Florida and Sena
tor Simmons of North Carolina look
enough alike to be twin brothers. They
are about the same size and build, each
has a heavy crop of dark hair, which is
kept closely trimmed, ; and their short
stubby mustaches are much alike. Both
have dark eyes, and there is probably
not two pounds difference in t-.eir res
pective weights.
Frank O. Briggs, who succeeds John
F. Dryden as United States Senator from
New Jersey, is a poor man. For thirty
years past he has been a salaried em
ployee of the Trenton firm that built the
Brooklyn Bridge. Mr. Briggs had served
one term as mayor of Trenton when he
was appointed state treasurer by Gov
ernor Voorhees. Subsequently he was
re-elected to the office. In 1904 he was
made chairman of the Republican state
committee and managed the the cam
paign which resulted in the election of
Governor Stokes.

LEGIONS IN RUSSIA
Millionsof peasants who voted in the
Russian elections did so under the shadow
of the scaffolds of a hundred military
courts, with no humane ripht that any
officer was bound to respect. Why did
the Government order elections? Be
cause there is a power ir. Russia above
the Czar. "The foreign money-lenders
are now Russia's real parliament," a
famous Russian publicist said recently.
A higher power than the Czar has or
dered the elections. The financiers de
mand those qualities from governments
that they demand from currency per
manence and stability. Unfortunately
for Nicholas, the modern capitalist can
picture stability in government without
some kind of a reference to what the
nation wants. So a second Duma there
had to be.
