The money that will be paid in interest charges will not have to be sent out of the state as would be the case if a foreign institution had been suc cessful therefore our people Bhould be proud of the fact that we have out when we need help. The fol- lowing is a list of the bidders and bids: Morris & Whitehead, Portland, a premium of $202.25; E. E. Ap person, McMinnville, $455; llu dolph, Klebolt & Co., Cincinnati, $526; II. Hirschberg, Independence, $621. ft The Bhip subsidy bill has been . practicilly killed for this session, at least. Whether- the principle is right or wrong, the impression is very general that the pending bill was drawn by, with and for the advantage of, a single line and that it should be scotched if not killed, ft ft ft It is incomprehensible that the British seem unable to understand that under our system, the senate is of equal power with the execu tive in making treaties. It is only kings and emperors who can bind their countries in foreign affairs without any regard for the people. W V w It had been repeatedly started that when the British pressed them too closely at home the Boer? would "trek" to other quarters but it was Bcarcely on their en-miys' program to have them head for Cape Town. Our Re riving Mcrclmnt Marine. The opening remark of Mr. Clement A. GrtHCom, President of tho Society ol Naval Architect and Marine Engineer, at the annual meeting of that body In this city the other day, and the annual report of Mr. Eugene T. Cnambor- ain, commissioner of navigation, make it char that this country is on the verge of an enormous devel nement In .shipbuilding promises to bo one of our distinctively na tional industries. Mr. Chamber' .. . . 4 ain pointed out that the current ar "will record much the largest mount of steel shipbuilding in our history " dtotu presented tigures showing the rank of this country iii the wean carrying industry of the world and indications are of the reappearance of the American tlag upon the hijih seas m the ex tension of trade, Japan, the newest of the civilized nations, has passed us in tho tonnage of steam vowels engaged in tho world's commerce. Mr. Chamberlain makes an elaborate argument for tho passage of a Shipping Subsidy law. Ho cal culates that in five years this eoun try would be carrying its own com merce on the seas. He thinks that n the first yeaf of the operation of such a law the cot would be f I, tOO.OOO and that the maximum an nual cost of 10,000,000 would prol; ably lie 'reached in UHM, after which there would be a decrease iu the sum to be paid out. Whenever this matter of sub sidies to revive tlie shipping Indus tur of the United States is mention ed in a way to command genera' attention some ono usually arise 1i point out tne true soiuuon is 10 be found in a policy of free ships that is, tho policy of giving Amer, ioan registry and its national pnv ileges to ships made and purchased in other countries. Advocates of that policy point to Oreat Britian and her commanding position in the ocean carrying trade. If tho United States, by the nature of events, were compelled to be ome distinctively a maritime nation or see its people starv through the absolute prostration ol their industries, and if in addition the United States, through great international movements, involv ing a vast civil war within tl borders of our greatest rival, Bhoul secure practically a monopoly the shipbuilding industry, building not ouly their own vessels but also those nearly every other nation this country too might well favor a iuplicv of.lrce shis." Every naiion that thi8T country could induce to believe in that doctrine would mean so much more gain for itself. It would build the ships of other countries Those who believe that a policy of free ships would restore our flag to the seas in ocean carrying trade ignor the fact that it costs far more to operate a ship under the Ameri can flag than under the flag of any other nation. Mr. Chamberlain points out not only that a Bhip cotting $275,000 in tho United States may be built in Great Britian for $214,000 but that the monthly wages on the American vessel are as $1,200 to $000 on the British ship. There lies the chief justification of the Shipping Sub gidy bill. It jsrecinely similar to tho underlying principle of the protective f arriff; that is tho neod of developing American industries and of securing for American work men a reasonable prospect of higher wages than are paid in other countries. American citizens who desire to engago in the ocean carrying trade may do so if they wish by operat ing vessels under foreign flags. Some American money is already invested in this way, as a com mercial enterprise. The object is simply money making. But the desire. for the restoration of the Ameican flag to the high .seas rests on a deeper sentiment and has more powerful influences behind it than mere money making. A pro found national sentiment is in volved. The commercial indepen pence of a nation is not complete until it does itsown ocean carrying. Tjhe retention at home, for invest ment and development here, ofthe vasl sum, amounting in the case of the United States to hundreds of millions of dollars a year, paid to other nations for carrying our com merce, makes a powerful business argument for a Shipping Subsidy bill; but stronger even than that is the great national argument that no nation occupy a place ofsuprom- acy or of equality with others until it builds and does not buy its own ships. Even if it could operate ships bought abroad as cheaply as other nations operate them, the policy of free Bhips would still be inadvisable. Our shipyards in such a case would become simply -re pairing stations. Our vessels would be purchased abroad and the aged cast-offs of a foreign made merchant marine would be our lot. Thore would be lost to the world the de velopement of American ingenuity in a great industry. The host of klndred industries Involved In ship building would suffer incalculably. This question of tho passage of a Shipping Subsidy bill is not a ques- on whether the country shall undertake the task of incrcaing the business of a few shipbuilders and making them rich.1 It is not a ques- on ofahenefiting theseacost at the expense of the rest of the country and of adding to tho wealth and business of a few seaports. It is a question of developing trade that is f the most far-reaching conso' quonces. 1 his matter reaenoa deep into the Interior and affects direct y tho farmer thousands of miles in' and and Workingmun in every part of tho country.

" : delegate Wilcox, of Hawaii, was sworn in as a member of the House without objection, although several rotCHts against seating him d teen sent from Hawaii to Elections Committee No, 1. None of tins, towever, were sufficiently substan tiated to base any action on, but they may lie at any time the prtper evidence Is brought forward. Vlr Wilcox doesn't talk in Washing,on as ho has been credited with Wk- ngin Hawaii. Jlcsays that wlile he favored thti restoration u queen before Hawaii was fornuilly annexed, he is nJMian Amerin citizen and that he, and other iia waiians, are entirely satisfied sith existing conditions, having leaned by experierce that they ejoy greater privileges than under'llio royal regime. j With one' exception striking out the clause abolishing one-sixth ind ono-eighth beer barrelsthe. reve nue reduction bill was passed by tho Houso just as reported bytthe Ways and Means committee.

Yet, not daunted by the fact that he is not vanted not discouraged by not having the members of tho legislature from his own county to support him; ignoring every con sideration save that ho desires ,ilio place. and is rich enough togel':t, he presses himself persistently, for ward and claims that he i ueliT&lly making projrrcps toward suedes, Ho buses his hopes ' on the secret legislative caucus and thinks t)f he enn -ret enough members to enter a caucus with the understanding that thev are to be bound by tho refeult, he may win in "pile of the of the people of Oregon. sh'j,? the out of Thiss is an object hwon fori citizens of this state, and pets' with diBtinefncFg the. need amendment to the CoiiBt'!tti ition, meantime it will he interestinU to note the era dual conversion here CATARRI tHUK roii CATARRH KM MM filMMtlt Ul nK. t'linuiiii no in JiifiotM drni.
