All cities and towns roalizo that they need payrolls, to increase their well being. Many ot them are planning active catnuaiuns to got factories. In tlio middle west and eastern states, thcro are many enterprises ready to come to the Northwest, if the matter is properly presented to them. The Soattlo Chamber nag 10.000 site, which will ho given to the first person or company that in vests $75,000 in building and equip ping a factory. Many other localities are doinir nearly the same, so that many new factoriesshould spring up in this part of the" country before long. Senator Piles' announcement that he will not be a candidate for re-oloc-tiou Bnd that ho will support Judge Thomas Bnrlte to succeed him, was forsliadowed iu this paper last week and caused no surprise, although somo'had believed that the withdrawal would not be announced nntil the Christinas recess of congress. This put Judge Burko squarely before the ppcople as an active candidate Representative Poindoxter of Spo kane recently spent several days .oil this sido of the mountains. He met a number of friends and wns infform ally entertained. He is frankly con fident of his ability to line up all the elements, favoring the insurgent movement in congress, and is prepar ing for a lively fight for the senatorial tosn, all over the sin to. It is not likely that any formul announcement will be'racoiveil from John' L. Wil son, until his return to Seattle next May, but no ono doubts that he will be a candidate. The Northwest is vitally interested in tlio tariff matters that will bo taken up nt the national capital this winter, nit is understood that the'eus toms schedules afflicting Oanada'will bo ruvisud. Tho latest tariff act au thorizes the president to apply maxi mum and minimum rates, wherever ho finds discrimination against Ameri oan.wares. Heretofore, Canada has been ono of our best customers, but reeont acts inrlioatu that some of the business is to bo out off. Accordingly, a plan is said to bo under co isidora tiou at Washington, D. C, which will appraise Ottawa that repressive measures will not bo tolerated. People of the Northwest believe that steps should bo taken to bring about more equitable trnile relations with (Jnnada and the hope is expressed that no broak will be permitted by the government. ALL SECTIONS UNITED Iu the discussion of improvement of the inland waterways of trie United States, the fact that tho old time policy of sporadic appropriations for special objocts, not regarding the ohracter nor the value of tho stream improved, is especially noticeable. Tiie reaso'i, though obvious always, was not givon its just weight in the times when appropriations for water way improvements weut b favor and were lookod upon iu the light of fads, useful in the days preceding nomina tions rather than useful to trade and commerce. Thejtrade and commercial interests of the country pushed for ward by the irrestiblo force of de velopment are now as a unit in ap preciation of the fact that tho inland waterway is the natural avenue be tween shipper and receiver and that, when improved, development can proceed on unhampered lines with freight congestions avoided and coni muuicatious between producer and a market always open. Moreover, all sections of the United States ave united on the axiomatic proposition that all inland waterways worthy of improvement and with tonnago bearing capacity when im proved, are component parts of ono in'ip.nificeiit system of transportation, each bearing its constituent part to the rcomprohensive whole, and with each to receive the attention of the government of tho United States in due time and with complete and effec tive consideration in the adoption of the platform of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress "A policy; not a project." The polioy of inland waterway im provement is now in tho stago when unity of action on behalt of the adop tion off the policy and the abandon ment of the project, will command success. There is no longer question of the value of the improved inland waterway to the trade and commercial interests of the United States. That value is on the Pacific coast no less than on the Atlantic. New England, with her manufacturing interests, ap preciates the inestimable value of the inland waterway improved no less than the value is appreciated iu the cotton and rice and tho sugar fields of the South, now supplemented by the wonderful industrial develop ment of that soction. The belt of manufacturing and inuing statos extending from the Delaware, cross ing the mountains ana streaming through to the Mississippi, appreci ates the value and across the Missis sippi is the great West stretching to the foothills of tho Rookios. All Boctious, ana all parts of sec tions of tho country, with each state of the forty-six haviug its especial treasure of mine or nelcl or factory, are now as one in the Uoinmid lor the adoption of that comprehensive plat form " A Policy ; not a Project.' " Tho unity of desire is conceded, The supplemental force is unity of action. For that reason the absolute impor tance of each and evory soction of the Union, the and each and every trado and oommeroial organization being ad equately represented at the Sixth An iiuual Session of tho National Rivers and Harbors Congress, at tho Willard, Washington, Docember 8th, 0th ond 10th, cannot be too strongly nor too porsistontly urged. That congress will mark tbo'beginning of tho end of delay and disunited demands. The dayof the polioy, with a comprehen sive system of iuiprovoment of the in land waterways and the ending ot the disastrous freight congestions will folllow and be po'inanout. ONE EDITOR APPRECIATED From a newspaper man's stand point, Lyudn, Wn., soema to be the ideal place to live and Dan Cloud is tlio luckiest of all editors. The local commercial club has just voted him sustauatiul evident o of itB apprecia tion of his efforts ot boost that local ity, through the colum"s ot ihe Tribuue. It is generally tiktu for granted tliut that is a. part of an ed itor's everyday routine. But the busi ness men and tamers of Lyndon s em to be of another Jstrpe. They wanted Kditor Cloud to know that they ap preciated his work. The reBult is that Lyndon is going to have a better booster than ever before. Other editors are equally deserving of such recognition and the community that grants it will be the ganitr a thousand fold. Government reports show that Alaska was socond as a gold producor in r.iu, among tlio statos und torritor les of tho United Statos. It yielded yellow motul valnod at 1111,858,800, or twoaud-hulf-times lis muoh as wo laid tor tho district in the sixties. Colorado led Alaska ou'y by two millions, and the indictments are, mac witn tno opening of the now camps just reported, in anothor year or two, Alaska will bo the first in tho gold producing localities of tlio United states. This is a mat tor of groat im portance to tho Northwest, for it gels tno no none or Alaskan prosperity, Cups offered by J. J. Hill at the recent Dry Farming Congress at Bit ungs, Monc, ior tno tiest cominuniy displays of products raisad without irrigation in Washington, Oregon and Montana, were won by Wilson Creek, Wu., Dos Chutes, Orol, and Etroka, Mont. Many truly wonderful dis plays wero made in Hillings, indicat ing that tlio arid sections can produce tilings that rival those fo the more favored regions. Nearly eighty per cent of the citizens prizes wore wou by exhibitors along the lino of the GroutNort.liorn in Washington, Oregon and Montana. Newspaper people throughout the Northwest, will remember J. . W. Cole, the;good natured and courtoous man who validated tho press passes, issued for the Alaska-Viiliou-Paoillo Imposition a t Seattle lust summer. Just alter tho close of tho iuir. Mr. Colo was stricken with an illness, which resulted iu his death last week. The Klks Lodge of Soutflo hail ehurgo of his funeral. Mr. Colo formerly was a prominent passenger ollieial of eastern railway lines. The man who thinks all his own actions are perfect mid all those of other people imperfect stands alone iu his opiuoin. There will bo somo lively questions coming up iu the next session of con gress whioh will assemble in Washing ton in a few days. Senators Cum uiings.JLaFollotto and Beverige, with other western senators, aro going to be hoard from Senator Oumniings believes in free trade with Canada. Thore iirethoso, however, who beliovo that free trade with Canada is a dangorouB thing. There are certain lumber and coal and pulp interests that of oourse oppose free trade with our northern neighbor If freo trade with Canada should bo adopted, freo trade with Moxico would logically follow. Appropos of tlais question, the his toric parallel may bo helpful uud tho opponents of five trade iu North America might can up the fatal mis take that was niado when Loiusana and Texas and that great stretch of torritory and also Florida were brought within tho Union and tree trade wth this groat territory became a fact. Let thorn show how fatal free trado with this territory was to Massa chusetts, New York and Pennsylvania. Let tlioiu show iiow Now York was stunted and impoverished and weak ouod by the admission of this .western empire until now its population is only about three times as largo as was tho population of the Hunted Statos at tho close of the Revolu tionary war. In view of these facts, it will bo an awful and even a sin ful thing to have free trade with Cauatla. As it is now, we have more trade with Canada than with all !Sonth America, Cuba and tho Antilles combined, but freo trade ? Horrors ! The Taft administration is prepar ing to punish tho republican iusurg onls. A Washington City dispatch to the Sioux City Tribune says: "Fol lowing the meotiog of tho cabinet yesterday, it develops that Maurice D. O'Connoll of Fort Dodge, Iowa, who for twelve years lias boon so licitor in the treasury, is to be retired without unnecessary delay. Some time ago it was given out tliut Mr. O'Connoll would be retained, but it is now certain that he is to go. The fact that both O'Connoll and Clarksou are regarded as personal friends of Senator Doliiver has given rise to the impression that Doliiver is being punished for his insurgency on the. tariff measure. LaFolIetto is being also punished by losing his grip on Wisconsin patronage In general, it is understood to be part ot the ad ministration polioy henceforth to give fow favors to insurgents. Nobodv has been picked for the O'Connell post as yet. Incoming members of congress are indulging the speculation that the adm lustration will later discover that punishing the insurgents iu this fashion will do more execution at the breech than at the muzzle." Atchison, Kansas, is the oentral point of four states, Missouri, Kan sas, Nebraska and Iowa, that have on numerous yours prodacod a corn crop ot a billion bushels. According to the Globe, a newspaper of Atchison, the government estimate of the past year's total crop iu the United States is 2, 707, 8 Hi, 000 bushels. Kansas be gan the j.ro- ing of uifalfa in 1871) ami if ui re had taken it up at tliut time, it is estimated that the slate would bi much richer today. Now hogs aro u:nrlieted in the Missouri River p ckiiig enters that never tasted corn. How much better are tho opportunities iu this Pacific Ncrth wesl ci imtiy fur growing bogs ou alfalfa and i ti er foods than corn than in the Middio West whore alfalfa does not thrivo so well as it does here. Did you over pass a hat in a small town for tho relief of nn attlicted family? You go to the merchants and they punglo up woll. The leading property owners resident in the town will genorally come through. The farmer iu with a load of produce will chuck iu a heavy pluuker or two The banks and tho clerks in the rail road station, if there is ono, will tuko pity on a woman in distress. But there are two parties that the writer has uovor aeon pitoh a cent into a hat tor any caso of local human misery. One is the department store catalogue and the other is the empty lot. Both stand read' to milk the energy and industry of tho town, but neither helps make it, or help it iu the least. Dr. Osier, who reoeutly issue tlu dictum that men over forty-five had outlivod their usefulness, has now niado the somewhat stale discovery that tlio white man cannot thrivo in the tropics, and this iu the face of the fact that Medical Diroitor Grogas has a thriving white population in tho orstwhile worst pesthole of the tropics nnd that thoy have lived there for four or five years with a death rate less than that of New York. Vioo is ever alert to poison tlio mind and destroys the character of young people. At least an equal vigilance should be displayed in stor ing their minds with .that which is wholesome ami in safeguarding their lives. It is su'd that Mr. Uivco, has been recalled to England. Sumo mililous of Americans will regret this rtcall if Jt Is true. Mr. Hryco, iB Jmore of nil American than many of our native born. It would bo a profitable trans action to exchange bun for tho re cently angloeiseii American multi millionaire. . Could we do this, wo might send Mr. Hryco as American ambassador to Eugliiml. When we are viewing some stately pile of buildings with its grand stair cases, marble halls, and exquisite furniture it is not so muoh of its tem porary occupants we think. Rather do we think of tho men who dug tho foundations, who put stone upon stone, who curved and sculptured with artistic skill and whoso honest toil gradually upi oared the fabric which commands the admiration of men. A prominent actress recently lift tho stage, as she said, to wash babies and darn stockings. Tho question is will she draw? And it has been sug gested that she bo giveu silk stockings to dam willi footlights and appro priate music; but this is a problem for the management. Safety Without Cost!

A'good authority has recently said that working women are more virtuous than those who live uiso-cauod higher sphere. There is no doubt of it for work promotes virtue and many oilier qualities while, idleness gets people into all kinds of mischief. The members ef the congressional committee w ho have been inspecting canal operat ions ut Panama as a di version of their junketing trip aro disposed to reorganize tho canal ad ministration, giving Col, Goethals liberty Hi go it all alone. It is not t he man who never makes a mistake that wins the greatest suc cess, but the man who refusing to be discounted by his mistakes learns wisdom from them and t hereby jrcachos at last the goal of his ambition. I Idleness deteriorates eharaete', but 1 true work makes it and builds it up. ! It creates the atmosphere in which ! tho virtues grow, and it gives to life jthe necessary discipline and strength. Now that tho safety of Mr. Astor ; is assured it is recalled that his I tragic temporary disappearance ! almost eclipsed another iccent sodc in his career. lias cpi- The Bank of Oregon City Dr. Co.ik has disappeared from pub lic view and his supporters are anxious as to his whereabouts.
