Six months 71 Pklu In advance, per year $1 61 THE GLORY OF CHRISTIAN. It Is a far cry from laborer In the paper mills to the position of United . States District Attorney at a salary of 55,000 per annum. Yet that Is just what Christian Schuebel, of Oregon City, has attained, through the Influ ence of Jonathan Bourne, who last Tuesday succeeded In convincing Pres ldent Roosevelt that "Our Chris was the real man to be selected for the place, despite the fact that Charles W. Fulton, Oregon's senior Senator, and Congressmen Hawley and Ellis had agreed to recommend George Bing ham, of Salem. Mr. Bourne, with his huge sack, has shown the Republicans of Oregon a trick worth turning. Ever since he went to Washington Mr. Bourne has sought to cultivate the friendship of the President, and hi success has been demonstrated. He has paid a political debt to Mr. Schue bel, whose Influence In Clackamas . County was cast to give yie Republic can nomination for United States Sen ator two years ago to Mr. Bourne. Had . It not been for the earnest efforts of U'Ren & Schuebel In behalf of Jona than Bourne, champion of Statement No. 1, the vote of Clackamas would not have gone to Bourne, and the place he occupied on the Republican ticket at the June election would have been held by Mr. Cake. Will Senator Fulton fight the nom Inatlon of Mr. Schuebel? This Is the burning question. Fulton Is a member of the Senate judiciary committee, where executive nomina tions are sent, and he may resent a direct slap In the face, and prevent the confirmation of the Clackamas County man. If he does not, he Is simply acknowledging to the Republl cnns of Oregon that he has no drag In Washington, and that he Is a non . nly, compared with Bourne, who, as t l hardly In Congressional harness, f"Ur.n g ft candidate to succeed ' ' - If he can prove to his con- v "-p.t ho Is "some pumpkins ; " NMI'nal capital, he may have , ' .,.,n for ro-elnctlon. Otherwise, v p. giiost of a show will he have. all this, any action on the part f '"nlif n cannot prevent Mr. Schue- l 'cu nboricy of the office. Brls- who n Schupbel Is to succeed, has ' M rtnvn t)if job for more than two 'r'rs, notwithstanding the fact that ' h cnnflrnntlon has been prevented ' y Mr. Fulton. And Mr. Shuebcl may do likewise. So there Is a great deal that may be Raid, hut columns are limited to Inches. Here's to you, Christian. Your ener ?"!' i-inipalgn for the fat office In i' . tland postofflce building goes tn ::). w thnt you have a good "stand In'1 v, ii ve It Is needed. Your polltlcnl twinios are many, but your friends, tin rah norhapa not so numerous, are -m.-r.)! and resourceful. It Is your tui'M i ! laugh. And, from a Democratic point of view, the discomfiture of Char ley Fulton Is only water on the wheel of George Chamberlain, Governor of Oregon, and candidate for the Senate of the United States before the peo ple of Oregon. I" t'd, TEAR DOWN THE BILLBOARDS. Should Mayor Carll succeed In de livering Oregon City of Its obnoxious billboards and posters he will win the hearty commendation of those who believe that there Is something more In life than commercialism. It Is unfortunate that little children on their way to school must receive their first conception of art from the life size, blood-curdling pictures heralding the coming of the Firebrand Brothers In their realistic production of the blood-and-thunder drama,' "Wreck of the Midnight Express"'; that they should be permitted to stand dally be fore the murder and carnage scenes of Jesse James, the Outlaw, The Black Hand, a Life for a Life, etc. We should be permitted to view a picturesque scene or a sublime, rug ged mountain once in a while without undergoing the mental effort of dis entangling It from favorite brands of coffee, Honey Dow tobacco and Never- Rlp overalls. Most men spend their entire office hours struggling with ma terial and commercial matters. Might they not have the ten minutes of time consumed on their way to lunch for the contemplation of the boautles of nature? Is It necessary to have glar ing Blgns on the trees In our parks notifying those who seek their restful shade of the particular brand of land plaster that nourishes their roots? By all means let us have some show for a bit of fresh air where we enn got away for Just nn occasional moment from this haunting influence of com mercialism, If the Council will take proper ac tion on this question, action that will ttffect the desired end, there will be some Incentive toward beautifying the City. Perhaps we are too busy to think of those things. Perhaps we will be Just as well off If we coase our endeavor, for a couple of minutes each day, to get our (1st on that fleeting Bllver dollar, by, commonly termed the third house. This third division of our Legislature has been by no means the least of the three In Influence. It Is a self constituted assembly, representative of class or private Interests, and the power It has wielded has not been a power delegated to It by the people, but by individuals, or aggregations, seeking legislation of commercial value to the few at the expense of the whole people. Our legislative system has changed a bit. The Initiative has placed the law-making power largely In the hands of the people. The corridors that have echoed the unparliamentary discussion of the Third House will be deserted now. The sleek representa tive of the large "interest," with his pockets bulging with the magical "in fluence," that was wont to work won ders on the convictions of the hesitat ing committee chairman, will cease to haunt the old quarters. The Third House must adjust itself to the new order of things. It must betake Itself to the new held of battle. Are its cohorts forming? A new banner appears on the hori zon. It Is plainly lettered, "PEO PLE'S POWER LEAGUE." Do we behold another self-constituted branch of the legislative function, or have we here the old Third House, bedecked In new uniform? Did the PEOPLE form this "league" that bears the se ductive name? When? Where? Do the PEOPLE remember having select ed delegates to represent them in the formation of such an organization? But let the people keep their place. Their Eelf-appointed representatives will administer the potion of reform done in appropriate proportions. For tunate citizenship, in this enlightened age, that need not be harrassed with the problems of government. A few wise men, with the Divine sanction, no doubt, have relieved us of the cares of State. Thus unburdened, great Is our destiny. SOCIAL NOTES LET PROGRESS CONTINUE. Oregon City has undergone valuable and lasting Improvements during the last year. Private enterprise has add- d considerably to her appearance, but the work of the outgoing administra tion is to be especially commended The town below the bluff has, for the first time In its history, assumed a presentable appearance. Everything hat adds to the utility and beauty or he city can not he done in a day, but here are un-town streets that we would hate to have our out-of-town vis itor look upon we must have more Improved streets just as soon as pos sible. The overhead crossing at sev- nth street Is a valuable acquisition. lore crossings of this kind are need d. Let us have another year of Im provement such as the last. The reception given at, the home of Mr. and Mrs. George A . Harding by the Women's Club Wednesday nlgbt was a brilliant affair. The parlors were decorated with evergreens, ferns, laurestinus and large bunches of roses that had been plucked the day of the affair In the Harding garden. Mrs. Harding was assisted In receiv ing by Mrs. W. S. U'Ren, Mrs. T. A. Pope, Mrs. J. W. Norris, Mrs. Roslna Fouts and Mrs. Linwood Jones. Dur ing the early part of the evening a program was enjoyed, and this was followed by whist. Following was the program: Reading, Miss Augusta Humphrey; reading, Mrs. J. W. Nor ris; solo, "Obstlnation," Mrs. Theodore Oamond; solo, "Thou Art Like Unto a Rose," Miss Ellen Brobst; Instru mental solo, "Dreaming," Miss Mar tha Frances Draper; solo, "I Love You Truly," Miss CIs Barclay Pratt.

We are rich and prosperous, in spite of the fact that there appears to be a stringency. more a matter of mind than reality, Let us quit bemoaning Imaginary troubles, inspire confidence and get ready to eclipse In 1908 our past year's record, wonderful as It has been. The marriage of Miss Edith Free man, of this city, to Lee Cadonau, oi Astoria, was solemnized at 11 o'clock Wednesday morning at the manse o; the First Presbyterian Church, Rev. J. R. Landsborough officiating. The wedding was a very quiet one, only the Immediatef riends of the bride being present. Mr. Cadonau was formerl: a resident of Clackamas County. The happy couple have gone to Astoria to reside. It Is to be hoped that the returning Chinese Minister, Mr. Wu Ting Fang, will get as much fun out of us in the future as we have gotten out of him In the 'past. A correspondent says that the Roosevelt mantle has descended on Mr. Tuft's shoulders. It is to be hoped, for the comfort of the wearer, that It was cut full in the first place. A complacent Republican contempo rary remarks in a satisfied tone, that "It will bo Taft or Hughes and vic tory." But it will make a lot of dif ference to those two gentlemen which one of them gets coupled up with the climax. A current cartoon represents Sur geon-General Rlxey hoisting an Ad mlrals Hag made out of a porous plaster. It might vory well bear the device of a skull and cross-bones and the motto of the naval medical col logo, "Soc et tuem." This Is the time of year when the good resolutions are brought out even if they are a little shopworn. That disaster prophet for 1908 ailed to indicate which ones of the Presidential nominees were going on tho rocks before the convention. THE THIRD HOUSE.

IN speaking of his good health and ex treme old age, Mr, Brock says: "After a man has lived in the world as long as I have, he onght to havt found ont a great many things by ex perience. I think I have done so, "One of the things I have found out to my entire satisfaction Is the proper thing for ailments that are due directly to the effects of the climate. For 119 years I have with stood the changeable climate of the United States. "I have always been a very healthy man, bnt, of course, subject to the affec tions which are due to sudden changes in tbecllmgteand temperature. "As for Dr. Hartman 's remedy, Pe-ru-na, I'have found It to be the best,lf not the only reliable remedy for these affections. It has been my standby for many years, and I attribute my good health and ex treme old age to this remedy. "It exactly meets all my require ments. It protects me from the evil ef fects of sudden changes; it gives me strength j it keeps my blood in good cir culation. I have come to rely upon it almost entirely for the many little things for which I need medicine. "When epidemics of la grippe first be gan to make their appearance in this country 1 was a sufferer from this dis ease. had several long sieges with the grip. At first 1 did not know that Pe-ru-na was a remedy for this disease. When heard that la grippe was epidemic catarrh I tried Pe-ru-na for la grippe and found It to be just the thing.

For many years he resided at Bosqne Vails, eighteen miles west of Waco, but now lives with his son-in-law at Valley Mills, Texas. Some time ago, by request, Uncle Isaac cam to Waco and sat for his picture, holding in his hand a stiok out from the grave of General Andrew Jackson.
