A numbkr of demooratio editore mre apparently greatly concerned wer the present depression in the price of wool. Thev are not, how ever. They are simply indulging in one of their old political tricks in an endeavor to pull the wool over the eyes of the ignorant. They dodge the faot that the wool in dnstry has been built up and wool mowers greatly benefited since the republican tariff relieved them of lamooratio free wool times, when the carcass, pelt, wool and all was -worth little more than a fleece of good wool today. These democratic platform hunters ought to be the last people on God's green earth to mention wool, or even look at a aheep. The sheep industry was never better in the northwest than tt is just now, nor was more money vr made in that business than is being made in the laBt year of the 19th century and the first year of tbo 30th century right here in the relate of Oregon. Albany Herald. The United States is steadily ac quiring land from the European powers. The territory "annexed is not gained by conquest or purchase and is involuntary addition to our country. It comes to America in the form of ballast and for the most - part in American ships. One thou and tons of Scotch soil were im jmrted into New York in one week a short time ago. It came off the Allan State Line Steamer Lauren flan. Scarcely a week passes with out a similar importation by the boats of this or some other line. It is estimated that millions of tons of European toil has been im ported and dumped about New York. Much of this is used for "making land" about the harbor. The fact that American ships are coming from other countries to our nhoes in ballast is conclusive evi deuce that we are exporting by big odds more American manufactured jbods thaii 'we are importing like -wares from other lands. A proposal has been made, says the Grants Pass Observer, to have -twenty townships cut off of the -west side of Josephine County and made a government forest reserve The Observer opposes the proposal, '-. in a three column article and a pic -tore of the county. The Observer 3a being kept very busy in its efforts . to keep Josephine County intact . -and in preventing the removal of . the Southern Pacific railroad Co the .Canyonville cut-off. Grants Pass is seemingly built upon sand, but the Obseiver will cement a solid foundation if good newspaper pen--. - riling will accomplish that end. In 3t labors there ought to be given the united support of every citizen ol Grants Pass and Josephine Countv. A newspaper that wont light for its own county and town . ought to be pushed into the news- . paper charnel house and room ;made for more loyal citizens. Still ' '' there are those who are bo narrow : V minded arid pessimistic as to fight ' 'any enterprise which has' the up . building arid protection of its lo- ' ' cality's interests at stake. The Observer is not of that class. What ever be your undertaking, Mr. Ob server man. fight for it to a finish ... never put up the white flag. ' It is observed that the state po- Jitical pot is already beginning to simmer, and by the time the winter . winds begin to blow it will be pretty .near the boiling point. Even at this time the mention of suitable or prospective ' candidates for the higher stale offices is heard, and ' from various points of the state come claims for recognition in mak 3ng up the state ticket. In this re epect Southern Oregon has been very modest so far, but we are be ginning to hear indirect mention of the n.mea of several of our best men for preferred positions on the j ticket. For the governor's oiuce the name of Douglas County's able senator, A. 0, M&rstors, is very fav orably mentioned, and it may be truthfully said that few senators returned home from the last legisla tive session with oloaner, better rec ords, gained in serving tho interests of the common people. Senator Marsters is yet to be heard from, howover, before any significance can be attached to the rumor, Snnthnm Oregon men have also been prominently mentioned in con motion with the oflioes of attorney general and state printer but thsro is many ft slip 'twist the as piranoy and the election, and all political forecasts at this time ore vague and uncertain. Carr'a Claim Declared to be Govern ment Land. In a decision handed down by Judna Bellinger of the U. S. Cir cuit Court at Portland, Oregon, 84, 335 acres in Southern Oregon and Northern California, fenced in and held by the Jesse D. Carr Land and Live Stock Company for many years, were deolared to belong to the Government, and the United States Marshal was ordered to re move the fences surrounding it, if not taken away by the company within five days. The case has been famous in both Oregon and California courts. Jesse D. Carr, now 87 years old, living in Salinas, Calif., bought large tracts of land along the Oregon-California state line some time ago and fenced it in, with 78,000 acres in Califor nia, and 6,000 in Oregon belonging to the United States. An action was commenced against him in the California courts, where he lost his case. The present action was com menced over a year ago for an in junction to restrain the company from maintaining the fences and holding the land. Judge Bellinger found for the Government upon every allegation, and the fence, fifty miles in length, must be removed at once, when the land will be open to homestead claims. The author ities anticipate trouble in carrrying out the court's order, as Carr will probably resist any attempt to re move the fences. Another Testimonial lor Mr. Daley.

The Can- adian Paoifio railway may, in tho near future, abandon tho ubo of steam engines on the high niouti- Ltain grades in tho Rookies ami have recourse to eleotrio power. The question will be submitted at the next meeting of the board of at rectors, ssys tho Montreal corres pondent of the Times. It is well known that for some time past the company has had electricians at work studying the pmotioahility o( utilizing the enercv contained in O w. the vast water powei B of the Rock ies ns a means of supplying electric power to haul tho trains up tho steep grades. At present a num ber of engines have to be kept at these points to assist in hauling the trains. The grentest diflloulty the electricians have been trying to overcome is the transmitting of the power over a distance. Superin tendent Timmorman, in the em ploy of the road at Toronto, firmly believes, however, that the scheme can be carried through successfully and owing to the unlimited electric power available, it will take tho place of steam power all through the Rooky mountains.

A great injustice is being prac ticed upon our orchardists and other fruit erowers vear after year by Oregon cannerymen and fruit : jobbers. Our fine fruits, after bo-, ing canned and packed, are labeled of any kind of nurse ry k.

"v. Lane uountys exceneni crop oi Royal Anne cherries now being canned by the carload and pre- r,l for Rl.inment at the Kucene t, , - - o uannery ana racaing company h factory are to be labeled in this manner. California is noted for her grafting tendencies in the mat ter of exploiting the best products of other states on the public as her own,, and it is small wonder that her reputation as a fruit producing state is widespread. The cannery men reply in defense of their action that it. is doing our fruit men a kindness in labeling thoir product "California fruits," claiming that it causes a very ready salo on ac count of California's great reputa tion as a fruit producer. While this may be true in a measure, how soon would Oregon attain distinc - tion as a producer of fine fruits if the annual yield of her orchards is credited to some other state. The 'sooner this practice, is discouraged j th. better will bo for Oregon fruit raisers. We should feel justly proud to stand on our own meriU I as a fruit-producing state. Resolutions of Respect.
