PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY.
OREGON CITY, JULY 29, 1898.
Wheat has reached the silver basis
Bince Leiter's fall, after inflated prices,
and it is likely to stay there for awhile.
The exodus to summer resorts has
begun, and more people appear to be
going to the mountains, than the sea
side. The warm weather will stimulate
travel in that direction.
The big express companies are fight
ing the war tax. They are the patriots
who are ready to thrive on the mis
fortunes of war, provided it costs nothing
and does not diminish their dividends.
Other rich corporations unload the
burden on the general public, while they
continue to howl for war.
Tub ratification of the annexa'ion of
Hawaii, caused great rejoicing and
enthusiasm at Honolulu, and the
Hawaiians endorse Minister Sewall for
' governor of the islands, This war was
begun to alleviate human suffering and
oppresssion, but it is resulting in con
quest and extension of territory.
A spirit of improvement in the way of
road and bridges has struck Oregon City,
and the municipal roadways are now to
receive the proper, long-delayed atten
tion. The Binger hill road bus long been
a menace to travel for people going and
coming to the city from the country
districts, as well as a great inconvenience
to trafflo between the hill and lower
section of the city. A piece of road
along the Abernethy will be substantial.
ly repaired, and the new stairway up
the bluff and the suspension bridge iin
provement, are something needed.
All important events of the sea cam.
paign in the present waroccurred on the
ha u until, biiiway, way 1, Dewey won
the great victory at Manila. Sunday,
May 29th, Schley found the fleet of
Cervera in Santiago harbor and said
"They will be a long time getting home."
Sunday, July 3, a part of Sampson's fleet
under Schley defeated the attempt of
Cervera to escape and destroyed , his
squadron. Sunday, July 17, the Spanish
flag' on Morro castle, at Santiago, was
hauled down foreer, beginning the
finale of Spanish control in the western
hemisphere.
According to the statement of Mrs.
Lounsbury, at the Grand Army mooting
in Oregon City Tuesday night, trained
nurses from any other source than the
National Ked Cross Society, will not be
admitted to the army lines. It was
desired to send some trained nurses from
Portland to the Phillipines, but it was
learned that the Red Cross society has
absolute control of the hospital work.
The various emergency Corps throughout
the state, who are making preparations
to send trained nurses to the iront, wil
probably got left, unless they become
auxiliary to the Rod Cross organization.
At last Spain is getting, in a measure
more reasouablo, and the long continued
rumors of peace are beginning to mean
something. There has long been rumors
of peaco, but Spain has continued to
keop up a defiant air, with a bull-dog
pertinacity, even when her fleets were
being destroyed broad-cast on the seas,
fcpain had made a direct appeal for peace
through the French Ambassador to
President McKinloy. As yet there is
considerable speculation as to the terms
upon which peace may be declared.
Of course, Spain will ask for more at the
beginning, than sho over expects to get.
A Madrid letter in this paper last even
ing confirms The Telegram's forecasts
during the past three weeks. The crack
of a pistol may inllumo the people to
revolution. The Spanish artillery has
grown democratic, and rather than fire
Upon the masses it would turn its pieces
against Alfonso's throne. S:gnnta is a
cipher, and Madrid practically is in con
trol of the army. This is a brief sum
mary of the actual condition in the
Spanish capital. Unless there is a
speedy declaration of peace, the reigning
dynasty cannot much longer survive,
and Don Carlos will have a chance to
play his last trump card.

The'bost fighting ship in the world are
built in the United States, and the best
in the United States are built in Cali.
fornia, fays the Sun l'rancisco Bulletin.
The Olympia made a lighting record at
Manila, and the Oregon has made a
lecord both as a tailor und ns a fighting
ship. Tho superiority in shipbuilding
should be considered in connection with
the fact that steel is cheaper in this
country than elsewhere. It would seem,
therefore, that for years to come Ameri
can shipyards should bo keep busy uiak
iug ships for themselves and for others.
The American battleship is perfect in
every respect. In armor plate, guns and
machinery they are the best that have
been subjected to the test of battle. The
new industry thus opened to us is im
measurable in extent. No nation will
be content with a second-rate battleship.
The difference.between the Oregon and
an ordinary battleship might change the
result of a war. What other battleship
has steamed 14,000 miles and reported
for duty the day after reaching the port
of destination?
Th j account given by the Associated
Press correspondent gives the Oregon
the credit of preventing the escape of
two of Gervera's squadron. The other
battle ships could not stand the pace set
by the Onion, and if the Oregon had not
been about as fast as the cruiser Brook
lyn the Colon might now be in Havana.
The ability which constructs the best
battleships in the world will in a short
time give us the lead in the construction
of merchant ships. We are now sending
steel to the Olyde to be manufactured
into ships. How long will it be before
we shall build the ships for which we
now furnish the steel?

School Notes.
School teachers are now taking their
annual vacations, and many of them
have gone to the seaside or mountains.
In Clackamas county the market seems
to De over-supplied with school teaclv
ers, and many of the new ones will have
dithculty in securing positions.
Millard Hiatt, who was principal of
the Canemah school last year, was
elected principal of the Willamette
Falls school for the coming year. Miss
Ella Beohlke was re elected assistant.
Miss Kate Citato, who was teacher of
the primary department in the Mount
f leasant scnoul last spring, is elected to
teach the same school this fall. Only
one teacher will be employed.
F. W, Cramer completed the spring
and summer term of school in Beaver
creek district No. 83, last week.
P. L. Co.eman has removed his fam
ily from Can bv to Molalla, where he
will teach the iall term of school.
Military Notes.
The 12 Oregon City volunteers, who
left a few weeks ago, expecting to be
transported to the Phillipines, are still
at San Francisco, but expect to be
transported .to the Phillipines next
Thursday.
The eight Oregon Oity boys, who are
apprentices on hoard the battleship Or
egon, are seeing the world and having
some actual war experience. Now they
go to Spain, and it is likely that some
of them will distinguish themsolves for
Dravery, betore they again visit their
respective homes.
Another batch of letters is expected
soon from the boys at Manilla, and it is
expected that they will give us some in
teresting news concerning themselves
and the Phillipines.
It is said that one of the Oregon City
volunteers was court martialed the
other day j lie was Bent out to currv a
horse, and forgot to "remember the
mane."
"Ilobson's Choice" will have a new
