PAXTON....Mullnomah County The boy, Coin Harvey, will find that the present oampaign can get long without a new edition of hia great work on how to get rioh by ' multiplication. Tse failure of the Democrats to denounce the annexation of Hawaii was doubtless due to the fact that the vote of Hawaii alone enabled lbem to revive the 16 to 1 corpse. Bets of 4 to 1 that McKinley will be re-elected president have al ready been made. A Ntw York itepublican, who had ' $10,000 to wager, at 3 to 1, found no enthusi astic Democratic takers. Ex-President Cleveland is still disgusted with the Demooi atic party because of its 16 to 1 plaok. What lie thinks of his former partner, Adlai Stevenson, for running on that plank is not recorded. The Nebraska Colonel Orator's ideas concerning the Philippines are about as clear as hie ideas about finance, both being more service able for campaign purposes than as a working basis for government. ' Senator Bacon has been pound ing away at the Philadelphia plat form. Senator Bacon is the gentle man who recently distinguished himself by not being able to tell the difference between toadstools and mushrooms. itp jurisdiction than any other na tion. No two of the territories are governed exactly alike; yet all are governed by congress, and none of them by the constitution. The Dia tnot of Columbia, Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, New Mexico and Oklahoma all have, in some respects, different government's, and the constitution extends to none of them. The United States exercises juris lictiou over and governs something like seventy different islands. Thev are all governed by congress, and theee governments differ in aooordanoe with theoapacity of the inhabitants. The cry of imperialism is as hollow as it is insincere, and is only a party shibboleth to catch votes. It is too transparent and void of meaning to deceive or mislead any intelligent voter.

It is a good thing that the Dem ocratic party has no reputation to lose for accuracy of statement. Facts are stubbornly against them. They are wrong on silver. . They are wrong in predicting distress in Porto Rico. They are wrong in pre dicting the doom of the republic in the event of McKinley's re-eleotion, and they are wrong by about a mil lion and a half votes in their fore casts as to the election of their can didate in November. Our Democratic friends have not taken their stand on the Chinese trouble, and Bryan has nothing to ay yet. Probably after a while they may endorse the Boxers just as many of them side with the Filipinos, who made a similar effort to assassinate our troops at Manila over a year ago. Bryan approved the Pans treaty, giving Sain $20, 000,000 to stop further fighting and deliver over the Philippines and Porto Rico, and then kicked after wards about holding them, hence he is now acting more cautiously for doing politics ahead of patriotism. It seems strange that the ques tions of imperialism and militarism should have never been raised until after the acquisition of the new de - pendencies. It seems never to have occurred to those who originated v these hollow phrases that the United ;!

Fort Klamath, July 28, 1900. Editor Medford Mail: The citizens of Wood river valley are anxious, as well as those of Rogue river valley, to have a road run di- I rect from Prospect to Fort Klamath. The distance to Prospect postoffice from Fort Klamath on the old mili tary road is torty-seven miles, and the desired road is about twenty four, making a difference of forty six miles in the round trip. The citizens here are willing to join with the citizens of Rogue river valley and put the road through immediately, if matters can be so arranged. The expense of the pro posed road v ill not exceed five hundred dollars. Can you not call a meeting of the business men of Rogue river valley and have the matter put iu s to push the entemrise throueh? We have had taik enough; let us go to wonc. bhould you call a meeting please let us know, and we will send a representative to it. Hoping we will get a move on, I remain, Yours truly, Daniel Cronemiller. P. S. I have written to Com missioner Hermann in regard to the right of way across the timber reserve. D. C. The above mentioned road mat ter was taken up by Medford mer chants several months ago and something over $100 was at that time subscribed and the canvass was only about half completed. The reason it was not then pushed to a completed issue was that some disagreement arose as to the exact location of the road. The Mail has been given almost positive as surance that $200 can be raised in Medford alone for the purpose above mentioned. The objeot is a worthy one and our business men are alive to the good it will be to the people of both Klamath and Jackson Counties. Mr. Cronemiller can rest assured that we will do our share and more. Ed Prom 8u.Bday'a Orciiuman. . The peat whloh hits boon working no end of damage to growing drops In several bcoUodb ot tho state during the past week or two Is now gouerally do U noil as the army worm. Its modo ot operation and tho geuoral destruction wliioli follows lis appaamriue itro pruotl oally tho same tn overy quarter. The eamo pest IntusUxl a ow parts of tliu state four or flvo yours ago, and grout damage resulted. This year, howovei'w the worm uppnars.to bo a rank ex pun alonUt, and Is capturing a largo amount of territory, to tho terror ot Its Inhnb- itants. Tno former roign of tho pest ranged from 10 to 15 days, wliluh gives reason for belief that its present visit will soon ond. Some eon ton ml tho post with the cut worm, but It Is of a muoli darker line. The army worm's color is grayish brown, ami it varies in lougih from ono to two Inches. In its fully devel oped state It is a gray moth about an inoh long. The eggs hatch lh a very short time after being deposited In the ground. Tbey numbor millions, and warm weather Is ospeolally favorable to their propagation. The vermin confines its attack' to growing vegetation, and seems unable to appease its appetite. By night, as well as by day, It carries on its dosdly operations. Daylight findB its efforts directed at the root of the plant or tree, while the nlgbt hours are employed to remove the follago. They leave no leaves on any stalk sot upon, and a clover Held, after their visit, presents a viow much like a stubble field. So f.ir, their atlaoka have largely boon upon alover fields and vegetable pint but within the past few days a dlsuosl tion to ravage fruit trees has been sbown. DAMAOK IN DirrSKKNT SECTIONS. Vegetable gardens have suffored most in and around Portland. Potatoes fare the worst of all vegetables. The tops first disappear, to be followed by the tubers in tho ground. Along the Col umbia river and In the farming country tributary to Portland, the potato crop has suffored heavily. In Clackamas County the dumnge is considerable, and covers fruit, garden, corn and root crops, The worms were first observed in tho clover Holds. Apple orchards around Marquam, Clackamas County, are in eluded in their territory, and it is feared the crop will bo a light one there. The second growth of clover hay Is suffering greatly In Marlon County. In a number of fields the gross is devoured below the surface of the ground. The worms are to be found in great numbers In the croo just harvested, and in many instances literally cover the floors of some barns. Vegetables were passed until this week, but urn now subjected to heavy siege. Around Woodbnrn prune trees have been divested of every bit of foliage. At Dayton tho clover fields and potato fields have been levied upon, and are meeting with rapid do structloe. The worms are also spread ing to other vegetables. A vast anny of the worms has just appeared at breenleaf, on the Sluslaw, and the farmers are fearful lest the en tire vegetable crop be taken. At Al pha and Dead wood they have destroyed everything, showing a preference for clover. r rom l,oos County comes the report of entire fields of clover being eaten by the army worm. Vegetable and root crops are also subjected to the attacks of the pest. Wlnemaker Wanted. I want the address of a person who is u goou oiacKoerry wine maker. T. H. B. Taylor. Woodvlllo, Oregon.

The exercises were happily terminated with a moBt refreshing and bountiful feast or good things, and then with a beauti ful overture the audience dispersed, all congratulating themselves upon a most pleasant and delightfully successful evening.
