WmL I UL HIJ3E TSgM 9 12 Hf5ilj4il8: REFl'ULICAX DOCTRINE . 7 OF PROTECTION. The republican doctrine of protec tion, as definitely announced by the republican convention of this year and by previous conventions, Is tht a tariff shall be Imposed on all Imported pro ducts, whether of the factory, farm or mine, sufficiently great to equal the difference between the cost of produc tlon abroad and at home, and thut this difference should, of course, Include the difference between the higher wages paid In this country and the wages paid abroad, and embrace a reasonable profit to the American producer. A system of protection was adopted and put In force has led to the establishment of a rate of wages here that has greatly enhanced the standard of living of the laboring man It Is the policy of the republican par ty permanently to continue that stan dard of living. In 1897 the Dlngley tariff bill was passed, under which we have had, as already said, a period of enormous prosperity. The consequent material develop ment has greatly changed the condi tions under which .many articles de scribed by the schedules of the tariff are now produced. The tariff In a number of the schedules exceeds the difference between the cost of produc tion of such nrtlcles abroad and a! home. Including a reasonable profit to the American producer. The ex cess over that difference serves no useful purpose, but. offers a tempta tion to those who would monopolize the production and the sale of such articles in this country, (o profit by the excessive rate. On the other hand, there are other schedules in which the tariff is not snrflelcntly high to give the measure of protec tion which they should receive upon republican principle, and us lo those the tariff should be raised. A revision of the tariff undertnken upon this principle, which I nt the basis of our present business system, begun promptly tlp,in the Incoming or the new administration, and considered nt a special session with the preliminary1 Investigations already begun by the appropriate committees of the house and senate, will moke th.i dlsurbance : of business lint, lent to such a change as little as possible. . . PKXIH.ETO.V SAVED MONEY. Pendleton Itself seems to worry less over the fact that no circuses stop there, than any of Its sister cities. The Pendleton East Oiegonlun says this bout It: There was perhaps more method than madness in the action of tin Pendleton city council which few year ko Imposed such a hliih license on a big clreits th.it the entire circus trust has been so deeply offended since then that none of their shows have st mped bore. And Pendleton has perhaps saved thousands of dol lars by this action of the council. Tho Post Fulls Advance clearly states the situation In the following editorial on the circus nt Spokane: .

George Twead Owns Land on Whk-li Rich Ore Is Found About Elgin Mllea From La Grando Regular Prosjieet Work Is Now In Progress There. . . R. D. Hamilton was In the city this morning from his plnce eight miles northwest o( La Grande and brought with him .samples of quarts taken from a ledge less than 200 yards from his line, which shows an assay of 1184 per ton. This rock Is taken from a point 7 feet below the surface. George Twead,, who owna the pros pect. Is sinking a shaft upon the property and Is now down 14 feet. He will continue to sink until he reaches a depth of SO feet, when he will cross cut the ledge. Tho ledge now shows a width of 30 feet. It is believed that the property will develop Into a very rich mine. A number of years ago, to bo exact. 16 years ago, a specimen was picked up In tho near vicinity of this prospect shaft which, when as sayed, proved to be of the value of (17,000 per ton. Many prospectors have searched for the mother lode, but so far have failed. It is to be hoped that the present owner has made the lucky discovery, t'nlon will sooner or later becomo one of the richest mining regions In Oregon. DALGITY IN LA GRANDE.

Six buildings flqlshed and six more nearlng completion la the record made by the management of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition nine months before opening day. An of the grading of the avenues, circles, plums and courts has been completed for some time, while the other work on the grounds Is about 8) per cent finished. The 8tructrues finished are: Agri cultural, Manufactures. Machinery, Administration, Fire Station and Hos pital. Those thut will be completed within a fuw weeks, and the estimates of their progress, are as follows: Ore gon. 0 per cent; California, ,25 per cent; Mines, 80 per cent; Fisheries, 30 per cent; Auditorium, 80 per cent; Fine Arts, 20 per cent. Many more htilMlTiM will .be started at ' I namely, Washington, Foreign, Forest ry, Machinery Annex, Transportation, Missouri and New York, The group of six United Stales government build ings will be begun this fall and rushed toward completion. One of the biggest days the exposi tion will have Is now being planned. It Is to be called "Discovery Day," and will fall on Monday, August 16, 1909. On that date the ISth anniversary of the discovery of gold In Klondike by George Carmack In J896, will be cel ebrated. The story of how Carmack, who now resides In Seattle, dug 'out handful of nuggets, staked out a discovery claim, and traveled to Circle City to tell the news; of how only five persons remained In that camp after the glad tidings were brought In. Is well known to northerners of the early days. The Northern Pioneers and other bodies have discussed plans for mak ing Discovery Day at the exposition a big success. It Is the Intention to have as many of the persons who spent the early days In the Northland In the search of gold to be present at a grand reunion on that date, and a special program pertaining to the an niversary will be arranged. Carmack himself will be a prominent figure at all times during the exposition as he resides In Seattle, and Is taking a great Interest in. the exposition, which would have, perhaps, never been held If It were not for his discovery. Managers of concessions on the Pay Streak, the amusement thoroughfare of the exposition, are now busily en gaged in construction work on their buildings. Several structures are be ing put up and many more will ' be started before full. The Pay Streak will be more than a mile In length and will be lined on both sides by costly buildings to house the new and Inter esting tittractlona that have been se cured. There will be about thirty features on the Pay Streak to amuse the visitors to the 1909 fair. Among those arranged for at the present time are many Illusions and a wild an imal show. ;OEH TO NEW YORK. ijk Grande Hoy About lo Filter Mili tary School. . G. V.
