Once more the members of the Second Oregon hear that welcome report that thpy are soon to see again their native land. Not so many of them as were beguiled by the same prospect three months ago. Some hearts that beat fastt r in anticipation then are now still. Go or etay, soon or late, those few have no changing pulse. Scars are borne by others who now turn their faces toward the rising sun ; scars not known three months ago. There is a deep feeling of soldier experience, vivid memories of gory scenes, fearful moments. These three fruitful months have left marks deep as the wrinkles of time, but which the young, light hearts from Oregon cheerfully sought, and will now forever remember with different eentimenta of life from those then enter tained. Of course the time of departure is vague. Officers of experience predict that it will be determined by the situa tion in Luzon. Others hold that the volunteers will be relieved soon, regard less of the warlike or peaceable attitude f the Filipinos. There is a general be lief among the entire corps that the date for the Oregon regiment to embark is not distant. This is made doubly se cure by the fa vo) able aspect of the war. From the repeated attempt to gain peace the Americans think the Filipinos ap proaching the brink of submission. General Otis has been "Btiff-necked," rather more so than was necessary in the minds of many, but there is but little alternative for the hunted blacks, if re ports are correct. If the Tagals are are quieted there is no doubt that the volunteers will commence departing almost immediately afterward. That the Oregons will be the first to leave is thought quite certain. The administra tion policy outlined to General Otis re quires (he regiments to return in the or der of their comiug. Oregon and Cali fornia were first, but now California is so situated that the regiment could hardly ba gathered quick enough to take the first transport. This gives Ore gon the right of way. ASSAULT ON LOUBET. French President Caned bg Count Christiani. Paris, June 6. President Lotibet, ac companied by the premier, M. Dupvy, and the chief of the military household, General Balloud, drove to Auteuil this afternoon, closely followed by Mme. Lou bet in a second landau. As they drove along the Avenue des Champs Elysees the crowd bowed respectfully; but on arriving at Auteuil, they were met by a violent demonstration, evidently organ ized and directed againBt the president. There was a storm of hoots, yells and cries of "Panama," "A basLoubet" and "Vive l'armee." A few shouts of "Vive Loubet" were drowned by the clamor. A strong force of police kept order and arrested many of the disturbers, includ ing a man who tried to force his way to the president's carriage. During the second race the clamor in creased to violence and was plainly di rected by a committee of the League of Patriots collected, with their supporters both before and behind the presidential stand, around which a formidable affray Baking Powder Made from pure cream of tartar. Safeguards the food against alum. A-ura baking powders are the greatest menacers to health of the present day. ROYAL gAKIHO POWOgR CO., HEW YORK. proceeded. During the steeplechase many blows were struck, and several police were injured in their endeavor to prevent an invasion of the presidential stand. At the crisis of the excitement, while shouts of "Vive l'armee" and "Vive De Roulede" were heard on all sides, Count Christiani ruthed toward the president, brandishing a stick, and directed a blow against him, striking his hat. The crowd rushed upon Christiani, who only escaped severe handling by being taken under police protection. President Loubet remained all the while quite unmoved, talking to the pre mier, while the officers of his military household were defending him against violence. Finally, after 30 arrests had been made, -the prefect of police ordered the republican guards to Burround the presi dential stand. The principal leaders of the demonstration were M.Jos Lanes, anti-Semite and nationalist deputy for Gets, and M. Fermin Faure, anti-Semite and nationalist deputy for Oran, Al geria. Police Inspector Grilliere had his hand seriously wounded in the melee, and President Loubet has decorated him with the cross of the Legion of Honor in recognition of his devotion to duty. On returning to the Elysee palace, M. Lou bet received many sympathizing callers. It seems certain that the demonstra tion was organized by the Jeunesse Ruy- aliate, the Ligue des Patriotes and the anti-Semites, the rallying signal being a carnation in the button-hole. Count Christiani is a member of the Steeplechase Society, a very select body, and his conduct caused the greatest in dignation. MAY BE HALF A MILLION. Population of Oregon By Census Of 10VO. Will Oregon have a population of 500, 000 when the United States cenpusshall be taken a year from this month? Esti mating for the present decade, a gain at the same rate as was made in the de cade 1850-60 would give Oregon's popula tion in 1900 at about 1,250,000. Calcu lating on the basis of the growth in the 1860-70 decade, next year's census would show about 54!),003 people in the state. If the increase in thi-t decade is at the same rate that obaintd between 1870 and 180, Or. gon will have 597,0(0 in habitants next June, and if at the rate of gain that marked the decade 1880-90, the census uf next June will show a pop ulation of 574,00,). But the years since 1893 have not been so favorable to in crease of population in Oregon as were some of the years in each of the previ ous decennial periods, and it is not ex pected that so great a ratio will be shown tiy next year's census figures. The United States has taken the cen sus of this state five times, ttie firs time being when Oregon had been under federal jurisdiction little more than a year, and, of course, before it was ad mitted to statehood. The result of each of these enumerations, by counties, is shown in the following table: Jones Lever Binder This celebrated binder has pained an enviable reputation in the last four years in Oregon. It represents lever power as a plied to binding grain. It will run lighter, last longer and bind tighter than any other binder in the market. The Jones Chain Drive foot lift Mower lias no back lash, runs lifcht and is very durable. Will cut heavy grass with ease.

The Oregon school census for 18S0 gave the number of children between the ages of 4 and 20 years at 59.015, that nnmber being a trifle less than one-third the total population of the state, accord ing to the federal census taken the same year, the school census sunnnsed to he taken in March, and the United States census in June. In 1890 the school cen sus gave the number of children at 99.- 543, and the United States census of the same year gave the state nearly 3 1-6 times as many for the total number of inhabitants. The school enumeration showed the increase of children for the ten years between 1880 and 1890 to have been about 10 2-3 per cent. The fiViirea for previous decades are not available. Hut the increase for the eight years. 1882-89, as shown by the school census, was about 42 per cent, while for the period of 1890-98 the increase of eh of school age was a little less than 33 per cent. Counting the increase of school children from 1890 to 1900 at 40 per cent would give about 140.000 in 1900, and using 31-6 as the ratio of school children to entire population, would give the total inhabitants at 433. 333. But as the population of a new country becomes settled, the proportion of children of school age to the enfire population increases, as is shown for Oregon in the only two decades for which figures for comparison are availa ble, laking 3 as the ratio, the 140.- 000 school children would indicate a total population of 490,000.

At the pseent price (60 to 70 cents) it costs more to use lead and oil, and it will not last as long. Stop and think how much more finely ground must be the pigment of a liquid paint ground by machinery than one mixed by hand with a stick. Of course this liquid paint must be absolutely pure not nec essarily all lead, however, as any painter will admit that a certain quantity of zinc, properly mixed, will outwear the straight lead pigment. The best painters in town have used Masury's paint during the past eight years, and I venture to say they will all confirm my statements providing they have no ax to grind in selling material of their own buying. A pure liquid paint, free from benzine, whiting and barytes, such as Masury makes, will outwear any paint mixed by hand. Masury guarantees this. C. Q. HUNTLEY Druggist OREGON CITY, OREGON
