THE LESSON IN HARMONY
The people of the Willamette vallev
are just beginning to see what can be
accomplished by acting in harmony
and in unison. The passage of the
Amendment to the River and Harbor
bill throuah the senate and now with
the promise that it will pasa the house
where the bill was scut duck ror con
sideration in this regard, with the
interest manifested by our senators
and representatives in gotting some
thing done for one of the greatest
rivers, in many respoots in the coun
try, ehould show to the people that in
union there is strength and that in or
der to accomplish anying in local or
state or Kovornmoot affairs, there
should be a very strong get together
movement, thou keep everlastingly at
it to obtain results.
From Washington despatches we are
advised of the iutorcst takon in the
affair in the matter through the fol
lowing, regarding the bill above re
ferred to: "The most important item
of these additions was the provision
that the federal government pay f.'iOO.
000 towards the purchase of the Ore
gon City locks, or townrds the build
ing of new locks. It asiures that
tralllo on the Willametto river, now
hampered by a 60 cent a ton tariff at
the locks, bocanso ot private owner
ship thoreot, will bo freed from this
incubus.
"It has been a long fight to procure
that provision. For years the people
of the Willamette valley have demand
ed, and the legislature has provided.
that Oregon do its share towards the
onterpriso. But here in Washington
there lias been hitherto a subtle influ
ence at work.
"It has long been notorious that it
was the influence of transcontinental
railroads that prevented speedy com
pletion of the Cascade locks, which
opened the Columbia river betweon
Portland and The Dalles and was the
ilrBt Btep towards an open river be
tweon Portland and the immense ter
ritory in eastern Oregon, eastern
Washington and pnrts of Idaho.
"It is rocogui.ed that precisely the
same economic priiiciplo is at issuo iu
the ninttor of the free locks ut Oregon
Oity, for the rich Willamette valley,
as was the issue in the caso of the
looks at Cascade rapids in the Colum
bia and it was such a situation which
Senator Bourne confronted when lie
addressed himself to the task of get
ting into the river and harbor bill the
1300,000 provision for the purchase of
the Oregon City locks.
"Now that tho dood is done, it is
possible to toll something about how
it was accomplished iu the face of
conditions hitherto regarded as pro
hibitive, tor there has boon no survey
aud estimate such as always are ue-
maudud as a condition precedent to a
committee of the congress inserting in
a rivor and Iiurbor bill any item of
appropriation for any project.
"Seimtor Bourue has an exasperat
ing habit of disregarding suoh condi
tions, and often amazes his colleagues
by proposing things at which the
staid and rovcrned seigneurs of the
senate gasp; but he has proved in this
instance that lio cihi often make these
seigneurs got over their gasps and do
some of theso things.
" 'Send out to Oregon for Mcludoo,
engineer of in elm-go of the govern
ment work there,' he said. 'Oct his
judgment. What's tho use of wait
ing?1 "Mclndoe ciinio ; he assisted m the
task, with sound expressions. Gen
eral Marshall, chief ot engineers, got
into the game, and liouruo had won.
"So it was that Bourne got what ho
hud not pledttod he would get,, when
ruuuing ns u candidate; and which
others did not got, who did pledge it
when tliey were candidatt s. It is re
garded here as the most important
single item of tho winter's work, if
judged from nu owmomio viewpoint,
as affecting Oregon."
A recout number of Punk, has a
drawing of the outskirts of the city,
with signs "For Sale" scattered over
tho landscape. Underneath are the
words, " Formerly tho laud about our
big oities produced vegetables, eggs
and dairy products. Now the land is
hold by real estate speculators, and it
doesn't produce anything," This ih
a'thought that may lit iu with the
"nigh prioos" puzzle.
The East Orpgonian says that a
heavy bounty on tho coyotes has
greatly reduced tho number. When
we fully realize that a bounty reduces
any pest, wo will get alter the idle
land speculator.
The Capital Journal says that Taft
haB a "hard lot of old grafters to deal
with." He oertaiuly has, and hois
pretty friendly with some of them.
Better Be Safe
The check account does more than furnish the

There is the convenience of writing a check for
the exact amount to be paid. In addition to
having indisputable evidence of each transac

method for accuracy in business.
The check account is safe, simple and conven

DEVELOPMENT OP PUBLIC LIBRARIES
In the first year of the nineteenth
century the United States, with a
population of live and a third millions,
had 64 libraries intended for popular
nse, or, if we call the parochial librar
ies founded by Dr. Bray publio, and
assume that most of them survived the
revolution, there were 100 libraries
containing perhaps 60,000 volumes in
all. Iu the last year of the century
there were over 10,000 libraries own
ing 40,000,000 volumes, half of these
libraries having over 1,000 volumes
each. Thus while our torritory is less
than four times as large and our popu
lation is only fourteen or fifteen
times as large, there are one hundred
times as many libraries containing
eight hundred times as many books.
Americans have always been a book
ish people. The very first colonists
brought books with thorn from Europe,
There were books, few but prized,
in many houHoholds, and in private
homes some libraries of size and tame.
Publio libraries have a history almost
as old. The Puritans had hardly
landed when they founded a oollege
and with it a library. Harvard col-
loeo library, born in 1638, was fol
lowod in 1700 by two others, Yale and
William and Alary; and by twelve
others in the following hundred years,
so that the last century bogan with
15 college libraries. It dosed with
over 40 times as many.
The character or the libraries was
much more solid, or, if one pleases,
heavy, than now necessarily so, for
the books of that day W6re in greater
proportion serious. The college U
brarios were of course designed to be
learned, for the use of professors
chiefly. In them theologv naturally
held the leading place, as the colleges
had been founded mainly to educate
ministers.
Art, vt liioh in the last decade lias
begun to fill so large a place on our
shelves, was not to be iouna in any or
the early libraries. The Boston Athe-
neum, however, reoievea in loiss iroui
a generous proprietor a largo number
or works or art, and became the pio
ueer of bibliothecal art development.
The character or the reading chit oral
somewhat from ours. It was in larger
proportion the reading of the man who
was curious about some one branoh ot
knowledge, or the reading of the man
who in a general way wished to im
prove himself along certain lines.
Our little home libraries or reading
rooms are the nucleus ot what may
some time develop into a great institu
tion of learning of reference and read
ing, with all the collections of books
and art that accompany, Oregon
City's small reading room and free
library but recently started is being
patronized to a much greater extout
than the poople of the city have any
conception and we are glad, to not
only have the infant institution in oar
midst, but to know that it is flourish
ing, and that as the city grows it has
the opportunity to develop into one of
its grandest institutions. Let us pa
tronize and assist wherever possible
to develop oui own free library.
Representatives of transportation
companies prodict that the fruit crops
in Washington, luaho, Oregon and
Montana and along the border in
British Columbia this season will be
double the production in 1890, the
banner year iu the history of the
Northwest. Estimates for the Inland
Empire alone range from 14,000 to
1(1,000 cars, cf which it is oxpeoted
that about 0,500 will come from east
ern Bud central Washington. Ship
pers in the Yakima district place the
yield there at from 8,000 to 4,000 cars,
and the Wonatohoe valley looks for
fully 3,600 cars. Crops in Spokane
and other counties in the extreme
eastern part of the state will also.be
heavy. Growers in the Lewistou dis
trict expect to harvost trom fl, 600, 000
to $3,000,000 worth of fruit, aud other
parta of northern and southern Ilaho
also report the outlook bright for big
yields, wh'lo indications are that
Montana aud Oregon will have larger
crops than ever before. Fast train
service between points in contral
Washington and St. Paul and Chicago
is promised.
The Portland business mou returned
from their visit to thirty Oregon
points intonsly onthusud. Aside from
tho splendid woloome; exteudod to
them evorywhoro, solue of the moro
homely features appoaled to them
specially for instance tho luscious
asparagus, toothsonio new potatoes
and strawberries which were sout to
the exoursion dinner by difl'oreut com
munities. Tho aesthetic side was not
overlooked, either, and at several
points the e oursiouists found upon re
turning to thoir train that it had boon
oouverted into a bower of roses or
other blossoiiiB.
Tho Pacific Coast Ad Muu's League
will meet in Snu Fraucisoo from June
31 to 21th, and tho Portland Ad Club
will eutertain several delegations of
advertising men from Wasbiugtou
oities, enrouto to this couvontion, in
cluding a specially large roniesenta-
tiou from Spokane. President White
more ami Boorotury Campbell " of the
Portland Ad Club will go south with
thoir brothers, for the convention.
Never was the rose festival so uni
versally recognized as this yoar. Var
ious railroads have issued wonderfully
attiaotivo booklets and are devoting
all their advertising to tho event,
licses promise just as heavy a crop as
tho moro substantial products such as
fruit and grain.

TO OUR READERS
Every reader of this should make it
a business to con ioer tne onsiness op
portunities that appear from time to
time in the advertising columns of
the Courier. These things are put in
for several reasons. It is a source of
instruction as to values, source of
supulies and business opportunities.
It informs you as to the success of the
doa org of vour town, ror generally,
though not invariably, the- man with
the business advertises. Look out
for the live merchant. He advertises
his wares, gets the trade, and wide
awake people observe the papers to
see what chances are owning their
way. Get acquainted with your nier
ohants and keoD acquainted by ob
serving what they have to offer.
Business had little attention in
Portland Friday and Saturday ot last
week, for the consus was the enrgoss
ing subject. Large business interests
volunteered their best men as special
enumerators to assist iu the work
without compensation, and every
effort was made ti got a fair count,
the whole to be checked over for ac
curacy, jj
Oregon advertising in metropolitan
eastern papers has brought a flood of
enquiry which all but swamped the
head office of the Oregon Development
League. Probably the record breaking
freoze throughout the Middle West
and East, which occurred at the time
this advertising appeared, had a great
effect upon the number of enquiries.
Vancouver, B. 0., offers a bonns of
three per cent over Portland to manu
facturing enterprises. It takes the
form of no taxes on machinery or im
provements. Portland has natural ad
vantages that may compensate for this
bonus, but supposing its people had
the power to give such a bonus as
well as Vancouver, and did it?
The 15,000 acros of land held by the
late R. D. Hume. "King of Rojuo
River." has been sold for 1360,000.
It would be interesting if the local
papers would tell us what this prop
erty is assessed for. With a railroad
and population that property would
increase enormously in value.
The city of Portland lias decided
that the killing of a child or two and
the crippling and blinding of a few
more, is as nothing to the selling oi
the stock of fireworks merehuuts have

It has spurts of enterprise between
sessions of the legislature that indi
cate great possibilities.
An official report discloses the fact
that land to the value of a hundred
million dollars lias been stolen from
Chicago along the waterjfrcut. Per
haps some Portland officials have beeu
takiug a correspondence course from
Chioago operators.
Devlopineut meetings are scheduled
this week at Bend aud Priueville, the
following Monday at Burns. Each
meeting will be held by the commer
cial organization and draw attendance
from miles around.
Australian and South American
meats are being importod for Eastern
markets. With the thieving tariff off
meats we oould have it for sis couts a
pound less. Watch tho present con
gross take the tariff off meat yes (?)
Acoordiug to Congressman Mann of
Illinois the reports of fabulous wealth
in tho Alaskan coal mines have been
greatly exaggerated. Unmined coal,
he olaims, near transportation facil
ities, is not worth more than fifty
cents per ton, while soal at interior
points is worth comparatively, noth
ing, except to capitalists willing to
build railroads to poiute whore it is
located.
Seattlo and Tacoma have finally
hurried the hatchet. At a recent
mooting of representatives of the two
cities it was unanimously agreed that
henceforth and forever the name of
Mount Rainier or Mount Tacoma
should be obliterated from the map
and Mount Talioma substituted. They
should have made it Mount Tattle, as
thus the principal letters aud charac
teristics of the two citios could have
boon better prosorved.
A report from the national capital
states that the navy department is
planning to send a fleet of battleships
to the Pacific coast this summer, pro
vided the naval appropriations bill,
which passed the house of roproscutn
tives, is nut pruned in tho senate.
Thero is but one first class battleship
on this coast at presont, the Oregon,
which is af Puget Sound navy yard.
Sixteen battleships are together in tho
Atlantic fleet, while three are ou
special duty and ton are in various
yards on the Atlantic coast. It is
likely that some of tho vessels sent to
tho west coast this summer will be
kept here permanently.
The University of Washington's
new eight oared racing shells were
launched ou Lake Union this week,
on tho oecasiou ofJunior Day at the
university. They are the first racing
shells to be manufactured rn the Paci
fic coast, ami costtuOO each. The two
delioato crafts were constructed on
the campus of the university, u tutor
the supervision of H. B. Couibear,
rowing coach. II. C. Henry, a prom
inent Seattle business man who has
contributed freely to help the rowing
sport at the university, presided at
the launching.
In addition to its 270 acre chicken
and dairy ranch near Kent, Wash.,
the Northern Pacific Railway's dining
car service has established a 4000 acre
truck farm at Paradise, Moutana. and
is supplying its diners with fresh
green stuff from that source. Three
hundred cows are being secured for
tho Kent farm. Tho railway com
pany has an eye for decreasing the
cost of living, and getting tho best
for its customers.
According to reports which have

215 boya and girls were killed iB
last year's Fourth of July celebra
tions 171 children lost one or more
fingers. New York City, by order of
Mayor Gaynor, will find itself this
year in the forefront of the growing
movement to rid Independence Day
celebrations of their usual ghastly
harvest of children killed or maimed.
Not only is the existing law prohibit
ing the discharge of fireworks, fire
arms, aud crackers within the eity
now for the first time to be rigidly
enforced, but from June 10 to July 10
even the retail selling of fireworks is
to be inoluded in this prohibition.
Fireworks manufacturers and dealers
were forewarned of this order last
fall, and such protests as they have
uttered are scarcely audible iu the
general ohorua of approval. Recent
Fourth of July records ot deaths and
injuries leave no excuse for treating
lightly the present niovemert to revise
the small boy's method of celebrating
this anniversary. The Independence
Day reports from all the states of the
union during the last seven years
show a grand total of killed aud
maimed numbering more than 34,000.
Meanwhile, asks the New York TiineB
what is young America to do by way
of a safe but exhilarating and inspir
ing celebration? And the New York
Tribune, contemplating the same
problem, says:
It will be well for patriotic and
civio organizations, and indeed tor
all thoughtful citizens, to bear iu
mind the profound change iu the cele
bration of the day which the pro
hibition of fireworks will mean, and
the urgent desirability of providing as
far as possible some rational and
human substitutes for the noise-mak
ing of former years.
The tremendous strides that agri
cultural pursuits are taking in Oregun
can nowhere better besoenthan in the
Oregon Agricultural College. The
amount of literature for all phases of
farming is increasingly wonderfully
and the heads of the various depart
ments and the experiment station are
kept busy attending to the wants of
the farmer. Especially is this true in
the Horticulture and Poultry Hus
bandry departments. Inquiries for
capable students to take hold of fruit
ranches, general farming and- stock
ranches are being received daily aud
the college is trving to placo them as
rapidly as possible.
Just when it was supposed that the
democratic ship was having smooth
sailing down in Indiana, up bobs Tom
laggart and nearly causes a tempest.
Thomas aud his friends didn't want
the state convention to endorse a canj
didute for United States aenate, but
the convention thought different, and
after sceuos of the greatest disorder,
by a very close vote, the convention
ooucluded that Hon. John W. Kern,
late sido pardner of W. Jennings
bryan, would look happy in Senator
Beveridgo's seat, and the doughtv
ex-chairman of the national oommittee
was relegated to the rear.
At a ineetiug ot the members of the
American Press Assooiation iu New
York last week Mayor Gaynor created
a great sensation. He was a mortal
great, and in a briof speech took oo
casiou to denounce W. Randolph
Hearst and all li'S newspapers as the
wreckers of the reputation of Amen
cau statesmen. Ever siuce Mr. Gay
nor has beeu in oilioe the Harst pa
pers have made violent attacks upon
his official integrity and the mayor
sjized this opportunity to doliver
knockout blow.
Another mouth has passed away and
still the work of the Ballmger inves
tigating committee goes merrily on.
Mr. Balliuger would better rush in
his evidence, as after the fourth of
March next the tenure of office of
most of the members of tho present
committee will expire aud a future
committee might be a little more in
quisitorial.
The Sound Sleep of Good Health
The restorative power of Bound sleep
can not be over estimated and any
ailment that prevents it is a menace
to Health. J. it. isoutnors, r.au
Claire, Wis., says: "For a long time
I have beeu nuablo to sleep soundly
nights, because of pains across my
back ivud soreness of my kidneys.
My appetite was very poor and my
general condition was much run

O. A. C. Notes
On account of the apparent high
cost of living at the Oregon Agricul
tural College, President Kerr has in
stituted a thorough investiga'ion of
this problem. A committee has been
appointed and this committee has al
ready prepared a preliminary report
to be filled out by each student. The
investigation is to be thorough and
will be of great significance to the
college when completed. The cost of
room and board, clothing, military
equipment, athletics, societies, olasses
and clubs, theaters, tobacco, laundry
and many incidental expenses are cov
ered by the report. The committee is
also trying to ascertain the approxi
mate income of each student and t ie
manner in which he or she obtains it,
such as mouoy from thoir parents, for
summer work, work during school
year, loans and other sources. Many
of the students are working their way
through college.

just After the Census
Probably President Tatt and the
members of his official cabinet will
have a rost during the next two or
three weeks. It will take all the time
and space of the great city dailies to
explainwhy.it was that their city
failed to meet tho extravagant claims
heretofore niado and to properly
abuse the supervisor for not finding
enough people to sustain previous esti
mates. This is about the way thoy
will start out:
"No doubt our readers will be
greatly surprised when they read the
announcement elsewhere of th result
of the work of the census enumerators
in this city. Probably not more than
three quarters of our residents have
been seen by the census takers. We
have received complaints from nearly
every precinct in this district to the
effect that their homos had not been
visited. Why, no one has ever called
at the house of the editor of this pa
per. When Col. Hasbeen was ap
pointed as supervisor of the census
for this district it was the consensus
of opinion that he was not at all
qualified for the position. This paper
was among the first to denounce it as
the most unfortunate appointment
that could have boeu made. He would
never have been appointed had he not
heen a brother-in-law of Congressman
Douothiug. We hope the voters of
this oity will think twice when they
go the polls this fall. Just look at
Padville, for instance. Everyone
knows that this is much the largest
city. The city directory, tho total vote,
bank clcaiuiices and other statistics
all go to show it, and yet the returus
show that they are far in the lead. If
we se t quietly by and accept the result
of this enumeration without protest
