OREGON CITY, SEPT. 13, 1901.
According to the computation of the
N. Y. Herald, S828 millionaires own
$16,000,000,000, or nearly one fifth of the
wealth of the country.
Tub total cost or the municipal im
provements which are projected and un
der active construction at the present
time in New York city is between $600,
000,000 and $700,000,000.
Tub railroad commission of Texas has
made a cut in the rate that makes it
possible to ship oil to any part of the
atate at 'ess than $2 for the equivalent o!
a ton of coal. The state institutions
have already made the change in fuel,
as well as many factories, and a great
revolution in the fuel trade is at hand.
John Alexander Dowib, Chicago's
"Modern Prophet of Zion," makes his
religion pay. Starting less than ten
years ago without a cent as an all-round
"medicine man," he has amassed a for
tune of between three and four million
dollars. His religious zeal is excelled
by his ability as a business man.
There are 2,050 railroad corporations
in this country; something like 800 roads
or corporations run the 2)50; and it is
perfectly safe to say that ten men in the
IVaited State", whose nameB are famil
iar, control the whole 2050 rods, either
ttmecUy or indirectly ; and nearly ail of
them live in the state of New York.
Tjbx Oregonlan of the 2d insists on the
necessity of reform in the "assessment
methnds' in Oregon, Its kick is provr
Take Clackamas county. For several
months the cost of the assessor's office
has been $850 a month, the total force
employed being 10 persons, lnclud'ng the
Assessor.
Uncle Sam bought two transports,
the McPberson and the Terry, for $350,
000; paid $500,000 In repairs, etc., un
them.and has now sold them for $40,000.
"Yet some people actually believe that
nobody conoectel with the navy got
rich during the war, but everyone who
had anything to do with our Spanish
unpleasantness, did so through pure
love of the flag.
Tub Ashland Tidings says the apple
crop of the Rogue river valley promises
ito be a great income producer this year.
Not only is the yield a full one, but the
quality is finer than usual. A number
of contracts have already been made by
growers to sell their crops at 90 and 95
cents per box, and in one or two in
stances the figures bave been as high as
$1.15. These prices do not include the
packing and boxes which are paid for
by the buyers.
Co-orBRATivi insurance companies "e
saving two-thirds of the coBt of insui-
ance. In Minnesota the farmers have
organized 2091 township co-operative
"insurance companies. In the line of
creameries, orange-growers' and raisin-
(growers' and prune-growers' associations
nearly all the great I M Indus' ies of
California are now O 'SPni .ed on a co
operative btsis. f.very where the pec-
;ple are learning to work together in
their line of business or labor as brot'i
ere. la is said that the king, cabinet, rigs
d.tg and people of Denmark all approve
the sale to the United States of the Dan
ish West Indies, but that the proposed
price, $3,750,000, is considered small.
"J'lie islands are St. Thomas, St. Croix
;and St. John, with 223 square mires of
area, and perhaps 5,000 inhabilants,
About r ne for each $100 of the purchase
rprioe. Thoy lie near Oulebra and other
tsmaU Manila, which we acquired with
Voto Tvico. They are not prosperous
and would welcome a change of allegi
jtrKe.
A (Tub many years of investigation
Into the social, moral and industrial
condition of the people, I come to the
conclusion that iu the adoption of
the Philosophy of the religion of Chist
as practical creed for the conduct
J business, there is to be found tho
surest and speediest solution of the dif
ficulties which excite the minds of men,
and which lead many to think social,
industrial and political evolution is at
hand Carroll D. Wright, U. 8. Com
of Labor.
Tbc total railway mileage in this coun
try in 1900 was 259,788, capitalized at
$61,490 a mile, or an aggregate of $11,
491,034,960, of which about $5,500,000,
000 was fuu Jed debt, and $5,500,000,000
stock, or, more correctly, slop. Oyer
$3,000,000,000 of the capital Btock paid
no dividend. The number of persons
employed was 1,017.653. The number
injured on the railroads during the year
was 58,158, of whom 7865 were killed,
2550 of the latter number being railroad
employes, and 4346 trespassers.
There has never before been so much
interest manifested in agricultural edu
cation in the United States as is shown
in the press at the present time. Agri
cultural papers are giving more atten
tion to it than ever before and other pa
pers are now taking ud the subject. It
is possible that we are about to enter
upon a period of more rapid progress
in agricultural education than the most
sanguine have dared to hope. The far
mer who wishes his sons to be in the
lead should send them to the agricultural
college and have them take the agricul
tural course.
From a commercial point of view,
Germany is imensely hostile to the
Unitbd States. Senator Chauncey De
pew, who recently returned from Eu
rope, says : "We are coming to be con
sidered a common enemy to the extent
that we actually supplant foreign manu
facture, and the feeling is intensified by
every concern which goes bankrupt, or
reducss wages, or lays off a portion of its
employes, ascribing it all to American
competition. Germany has both tariff
and trusts. Everything there is svnd
cated. The trusts refuse to sell any
thing to a merchant who deals in an im
po ted article. This makes it more dif
ficult for the Impo' ter, because the boy
cott mans ruin. Where the American
opens his own warehouse, as the shoe
dealers did in Vienna, the native shoe
makers mob the place, and the police 1
iook me on er way.
SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS.
A prominent educator calls attention
to the fact that the school savin us bank
has gradually come to occupy a most
prominent and important place in this
country's public educational system. In
California the system has been estab
lished in a large number of places, and
there are indications thnt the practical
teaching of thrift will become general in
the near future.
It is stated that there are now no less
than 35S3 scuool banks in the United
Stales, and that these -have an anny of
63,567 depositors. The amount depos
ited in these banks since their begin
ning is placed at$S67,000, but the writer
says these figures must be far irom com
plete as the school banks in the one
county of Montgomery, in Philadelphia,
bave received $175,300 , from children,
and have no less than 4,019 depositors.
In Atlantic City the deposits in the
banks there last year reached a total of
$0,876, and the youngest are showing
great interest in the idea.
Now, instead of spending their pen
nies and nicke's for useless trinkels.they
put their money into the bank and take
great pride in showing their l.ttle de
posit books. The only objection against
the movement is that it increases the
work of the school teacher. Once or
twice a week the teacher cails for de
posits and the pupils then bring forward
whatever they have, from one cent up.
They a-e given due credit on the bunk
books, and the teacher then deposits
the amount in some reliable banking in
stitution. The Bys'eii lias long been in vogue in
France and Belli urn and is a great suc
cess there. The young American can be
taught to take care of his money at none
too early an age, in order that habits of
economy may become firmly fixed in his
character.

LA BOP
In another century a few hundred
boys muy be ab'e, as machine-tenders,
to do all the work of Nevt York, and
there will be nothing human left except
small boys and stockholders. Mean
while what shall we do with such a
thing as f ie five thousand p:irs of work
men's socks produced in one day in a
mill I visited, by 50 boys with 400 ma
chines, with no woikuiei to wear them,
or, what amounts to the same thing,
with no money to buy them? It is not
clear that we are netting into an indus
trial hole? We must find a market for
the product which our unemployed can
not buy, and that is the reason why we
are bagging the Philippines and Cuba
and Porto Rico, and any old island that
comes along. If you explore the jungles
of Luzon a year hence I have no doubt
you will see half-naked Bavages gliding
among the trees wearing blue socks with
white toes and heels.
The Stale Socialist says that the dif
ficulties of overproduction and lack of
employment are the natural results of
competition, and that the only way out
competition, and that the only way out
is for the people to take over the land
is for the people to take oyer the land
and all means of production and organ-
ize the industries from Washington.
This solution is called "scientific," and
it seems very simple ; but I must con
fess that the idea of it "gives me pause."
There is a Teutonic love of government
implied in the suggestion which seems
to me unlikely to attract any large por
tion of the American people, and I do
not anticipate the adoption of any such
programme, unless the industrial chiefs
of the country by their refusal to give
up their privileges, bring it upon us as a
punishment for our sins.

taking legislators and party bosses, the
Stock Exchange and Tammany Hall are
the natural result of ordinary business
competition, the State Socialists may be .
right, and it may become necessary for
the people to absorb and organize politi
cally the productive energies of the
land, although it is a task which might
make a giant stagger ; but I doubt their
major premise. America is supposed tu
be a free country, but we have not given
freedom a fair trial in industrial matters,
and until we do I shall not be satisfied
tkat nature cannot cure evils for which
monopoly of one kind or other is respon
sible. The fundamental justice of the wage
earner's Cise the importance of accord
ing bim his just . dues is. forcibly borne
ont by the religion which most of us
profess.
Christianity sprang from the Jewish
church, and the Jewish church bad its
origin in a strike the strike of the He
brew brickmakers in Egypt and Moses
and Aaron were the first walking dele
gates on record.
Our political faith as well as our relig
ion sets up the standard of equal rights
and equal opportunities. The Declara
tion of Independence is going out of
fashion in our foreign dependencies, but
we should keep it for home consump
tion. The equal right to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness can hardly be
said to exist in a land of slums and pal
aces, of child labor and unemployed and
unexampled luxury. To accept the pres
ent divided condition of society as a
finality is to be untrue, not only in our
Christianity, but to our democracy. Our
political democracy is nothing but a
mask behind which our industrial oli-
garchy hardly tries to hide itself,
The
real power has passed from out state
houses and city halls, and is now cen
tered in the counting room and cham
ber of commerce. Unless we can de
mocratize these, oar constitutions haye
become useless trappings, and we may
as well admit that they give us no more
assurance of freedom than did their sen
ates and consulships to the subjects of
the Csesars. Ernest Crosby. '

Carnival Coming On.
On Wednesday evening, Sept. 18, the
Portland Carnival will open in a brill
iant array of splendor such as is seldom
seen in the Northwest. The great expo
sition building will be illuminated by
nearly S800 electric lights, while the ad
joining Multnomah Field, with its five
ac es, will have lights equaling 40,000
candle power. The Carnival will afford
a whole month of pleasure and interest
ing instruction . The railroads and steam
boats are going to carry people to and
fro.n the Carnival at one and one-third
fare for the round trip, and their excur
sion tickets will be good for 7 days.
There will not be a dull moment at the
Carnival; some sort of entertainment
will be going on all the time, afternoon
and evening, with two full military
bands discoursing music. 1 he array of
attractions will be unsurpassed, and the
Carnival will last a month.
OH for tho
Children.
Give them oil cod-liver oil.
It's curicus to sec the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret
iul child, and l.c kuhs. Giw
it to the pale, ancemtc cr-:io,
and his face becomes rosy aiu
full of health. Take aflat-
chested child, or a child that
has stopped crowing, eive him
the oil, and he will grow big
and strong like the rest.
This is not a new scheme.
It has been done for years.
Of course you must use the
right oil. Scott's Emulsion
is the one.
