Six months . 7t Palu In advance, per year $1 60 THE PORTLAND VULTURE Tuesday's Oregonitiii refers to the only accepted county machine made candidate and as nsnal cannot retrain from its demoralizing coutse, it gavs : "Tho Olackamiis Oonnty assembly nominated a very fjood man for Btate gonator iu the prosou of L. D. Walkor, of (lanhy. Ho is a business man ot standing, a studout of alfairs, and a neighbor who has tho regard and re snoot of all who know him. He is going to rnu against the unspeakable Browuell. and the people of Clackamas county, who know both men., are to have a chanoe to decide between them. By the rcsnlt we slnll be a bio to soe just what sort of a state seuator the Republicans ofClackanms comity really want." The Oregouiau delights in viteper oas and filthy epithets that seem to be at all times at its command, and is invariably ou the wrong side of tho lence in referencs to what the com mon people of tho country doairo, and it is even so iu tho above case. Everybody iu Olackamas Comity knowsMr. Browuell, and thut he has done more for tho farmers and the people, than any publio servant that has ever beon sent to represent them at Salem, eveu to the introduction of the vorv moasnres that have made pos sible tlie valuable representative laws in this state and which the people do not propose to throw away on ac count of the mere quaddliug and prat le of the Oregonian. Without further reference to the as sembly, machine-made candidates, who were informod of thoir seloctiou in;thiscityrSaturday, a vory largo ma jority of whom absolutely refuse to acoept such a olose corporation nomin ation, preferring to go before the peo ple and await command, without fur ther lefereuce as a body, we do wish to state that it is deplorable that even so good a man as Mr. Walker of Can by, should pormit his name to be class ed with tho fow who desire to take the power out of the people's hands and return it to the few unscrupul ous politicians. The roforouoe through the columns of the Oregonian to Mr. Brownul iu guoh degrading terms only tends to strengthen him iu the work of a fair, square light for the farmers and the people of Clackamas County. It is a well known fact that he has the affec tions ot a great many poople because of his many aots of kindness to the poor and unfortunate and iu fact with every one with whom lie comes in contaot. He lias always assisted financially and otherwise in every movement for the betterment of sooi- Wo do not suppose that any othor one man iu Clackamas County has holpod build more churches than Geo. O. lirownoll, and his .friendship ex tends to the vory limits of tho county, even his political enemies speak well of him. The Oregouiau's treatiuout of Mr. Browuell lias always beon low and conteniptable and shows that the writer is course and unprincipled, it will probably mean a thousand votos to Mr .Browuell, should he decide to becomo a candidate for state Senator. The Courier has stood for all that is just and right for the poople and in every nook and corner of tho couuty come words of encouragement and. praise and a further backing by nearly doubling its circulation in the coun ty, which has oonie unsolicited," in a majority of cases, and iu this instance it positively atllruis that it believes Mr.BrownoU a true friend of the com mon people aud a man who will work for thoir interests and that it will sup port him in this our tight against corporation greed and uorrupt boss rule, to the end that we may attain our much prized right to say who Wo shall have and what wo shall have notwithstanding tho attempted dic tum of tho Oregonian. Americau pesiinists, who point with pride to everything that is done on the othor side of the big pond, were Bomewhat Burprisod over tho announce mout of the failure of a bank in Uor many with liabilities ot nearly thir teen million dollars, most of the board of directors losing their entire fortune. In regular American stvlo the manager of the institution has beeu arested and startling disclosures will probably lol low. An epidemic ot suicides is ou in Portland. Probably tho pace iu the Rose City is getting too swift. They better bo' content with the ills they have than tako chaueos on the undis covered country. GlrTord Plnchott declares that the salvation of the nation lies in not being sntlsileil. If Mr. Plnchott would miiUe a tour through Oregon he would 11 nd an ideal country.

The Bank of Tho efforts of the Great Northern Railroad to exploit the Northwest by moans of exhibit cars operated thru the great aud middle west will be ex tended this year to include Oregon as well as Washington, and a car is now being equipped at Portland to display the products of the formor Btate.

The secretary says that as soon as the Panama Canal is completed Oregon will have the mar kets of the world by the feet, ile tliinka thuf. the rainfall on the west slope of the Cascndos is sufficient to raise a gnod crop, while east of the Cascades tho secretary is satisfied that the good qualities of the soil is not . . i . : i m r.. waHiiea on uy lirigrinuu.-, iiitouBmou farming U recommended for Oregon.

Plans for the gathtring aro already well un der way, and it is expected that much will be accomplished iu giving instruc tion in the now methods of faming tho non-irrigated lands of the North west. The farmer will have an op portunity to learn of the newest methods and discoveries from the agricultural Bchools aud experiment stations, uud tho present oongress win make an effort to extend its worn so that ;tho work of educatioii in dry larniilig uiocnodB may not db oouuuwu to tho fow day.sessious of the congress but may be carries into the far cor ners of the country and the benefits be .placed at the disposal of every farmer in the great west. , Butcher Weylor, captain general of Spain is again iu the limelight. He has issued a pronnnciaiuento in which he announces that theSpaauisb rebels will bo given no quarter, that there will be no ubo for hospitals aud that tho cemeteries will have to be enlarg ed. This is the same kind of.au order the Bntohor gave whilo, captain gen eral of Cuba. The most of his fight ing is dene on paper. Jack Johnson., the colored prize fighter appears to be au allrouud sport. He has challenged liaruey Oldilold, tho swift automobile driver, for a race over the Brighton Beaoh track. Bar ney accepts the clmlleuge and Bays he will raoe him for the same reason that lotteries fought him, for the money there is iu it. Look out for another raoo conflict. The most ardent conservationists ought to bo made happy over the re cout order of the government with drawing HO), 000, 000 acres of laud from settlement. Thero is a apparently uo need for tho aroat ooiisorvatiou con vention at St. Paul, for there is uoth inn left to conserve. Nearly 55,000,000 acres of land in the Pacific Northwest aro included iu this sweeping order. Withdrawals in Oregon iueludo the following: Coal land 11)2, 6la acres; ri4.84U, acres; water power 170,131 acres ; national monuments 480 acres; national forests lfl)20,823 acres; re clamation 2,0117.600; total 10,402,994. It is tho purpose of postolUce depart ment to establish postal saving banks throughout the country on the lirst of October. The system will first be triod in second and third class offices, instead of the first class as originally intended. Postmasters throughout the country aro taking a lively inter est in the matter, more than three hundred of them having already regis tered that their ollices be designated to aocept postal savings. More fhau six hundred national banks desire to bo used as depositors of postal funds. The Mazaiuas expedition fostered by the Port land Oregonian and New York Herald for the purpose of as cending Mt. MoKiuley. has beeu com pelled to return without having ac complished the purpose of their mis sion. After suffering untold hard ships the foot of the mountain was reached and hero they discovered that they were confronted by almost perpendicular wall of snow, the as cent of which was impossible. They rjdieulo the idea of Dr. Cook ever having made the ascent from that point. They propose to try it again next season from the other side of the mountain. Oregon City The strike in Portland has led to the display of open shop siguB in a large number of tho principal stores, and tho prospect for a general labor war is imminent. In some of the well or ganized labor oitios a man does not dare drive a nail in his own house lest he incur the enmity or tho walk ing dolegate and his business bnycot- tt,A Tim nvnrnpe einlllover IS dis posed to treat his employes justly aud it the leaders of organized labor pos sessed a littie horse sense there would be less friction between capital and labor and creator prosperity for both parties. Notwithstanding the protests from Grand Army Posts from uearly every section of the country, Attorney Uou. eral Wickorsliauim has decided, with the approval of tho president, that there is no provision in the law by whiclthe statue ot General Kob.rt E Loo can bo removed from Statuary Hall iu the Capitol at Washington. While deciding the question on a purely legal basis the attorney gen eral points out that it is only natural that tho state of Virginia should de sire to have, one of her most distin guished citizens so highly houoied. Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture has bum in Oregon dur ing! htpast week s euiiig limrumuou in rognrd to the sestaltni' lit ot lands included i ut he fort st lesoive ot the Btate Ho plans to have the reserves re-mapped and tno boundaries estao lis'ied in an accurate way. It is said that much land is included iu the res erves that should not be, and that when the now maps are completed 5,000,000 or 0,000,000 acres now iu re serves in this state will be opened up for settlement. Coose Bay is going to improve its harbor and the channel from Hie ocean into the bay. Publio docks audware houses are to be built as well, or this purpose it is the inteution to ex pend 300,000. It is proposed to issue 20-year bonds bearing 5 per cent inter est. Coos Bay people approve this project generally, but the commission of the port has decided to leave the matter to a vote of at Hie Fall eloo tiou. The plan contemplates a great itupprovemeut.of the Coos Bay har bor. Both the Republican and Demo cratic parties have been wiped off the boards in Pennsylvania, and a new organization called the Keystone party, has been formed to fill their places. The platform declares that both the old parties are domnated by the same influences, and that the safety of the common wealth de pends on their election. The election returns will probably show that the old parties will continue in the saddle by a large majority. Secretray Ballinger of the Depart ment of the Interior is busy on a trip of inspection of the reclamation pro jects of the state and is becoming fa miliar with the workings of the ser vice in Oregon. Among other things he will start pniiminary surveys of Crater Luke Nattioual iPark, looking toward its developouiont along the lines of tho bettor known national parksof the country. In the years 1908 and 1909, about one hundred thousand Americans, taking with them one hundred mil lion dollars, settled in the Canadian Northwest. Railroad officials esti mate that about 15,000 of this number have returned to the states, leaving fifteen million dollars' behind them. If they had settled In Oregon in the first place, they would now have thirty million dollars in their jeans Instead of thirty cents. Just think of it. A Democratic campaign in Nebraska and William Jennings Bryan not in the title role. In a convention last week there were 800 delegates. The boy orator of the Platte could only secure about 20f for his county option plank In the platform. Evidently the Peerless One will have ta he content to be after known as a has-been. here- There promises to be a regular old fashioned nolitleal campaign in Ohio Hits fall. The Democrats have "view ed with nlarm," and the Republicans have "nointed with pride" to the condition of the country, and the elec tion in November will prooamy tell whether Taft or Harmon will carry the slate in 1912. Tho r-nnsorinslonists are going to have a conversation convention in St Paul some time durlnii the month of September. The originators of the seheino at first proposed to Invite only those friendlv to the cause, but they have now decided to have a fee for all nud a hot time Is expected. When the war broke out the South erners were called insurgents. rhen the war progressed a year or two they were called rebels. At the close of the rebellion they were called traitors. The Republican progressionists can readilv see what Is In store for them. In one year more then eight, million dollars In money orders were Issued by the postofflce, payable to order-of- self. This is a slight Indication of what order tlon. will happen when the money offices get Into working opera- The apple crop of the United States Is said to be about twelve per cent, short of the average. If the apple growers of Clackamas County had taken propel' care of their trees they would bo many thousand dollars ahead. Theodore Douglas Robinson, a nephew of ex-President Roosevelt, who had congressional aspirations, did not succeed In securing enough delegates lo give him the nomination, notwithstanding he was O. K.'d by T. It. If you want to know how you stand iu the community, just file for offlce Your neighbors will soon tell you. .lust now It would be interesting to know how many Harklses there are In t'lackanias County. Do the people rule? Yes, before election, but after election the office holders rule. If you don't like the hand out, vote for your next best friend. Any skiu itching is a temper-te-ter.

That the Oregon Trail If road will be ready lor service to Madras by Janu ary 1," 11)11, is now promised unless unexpected difficulties vrieo.

Our Prisons Breeders of Tuberculosis That there are 12,000 tuborculdus pris oner in the Btate, federal and local prisons and jails of tho United States, with less than U5 special institutions and hardly 810 beds for their treat ment, are some of the chrgos made by the National Association tor the Study aud Prevention of Tubirculosis in the following bulletin issued to day. From several investigations that have been made, it is estimated that on an average about fifteen percent of the prison population of the country is afllcted with tuberculosis. Ou this basis, out of the 80,000 prisoners in the penal instuntions of continental United StateB ut any given time, not less than 12,000 are infected with this disease. If the Philippine Islands oud othor insular possessions were taken into consideration, the number would be muoh larger. Some of the prisons of Pennsylvania, Kansas and Ohio Bhow bucIi shocking eouditious with reference to tuberculosis that many wardens admit that these places of de tention are deathtraps. Similur con ditions could be found in almost every state, and iu the majority of cases the only sure remedy is the destruction of the old buildiugs uud the erection of new ones. Only twenty-one prisons in fit teen states' and territories have provided special places for the treatment of their tuberculosis prisouers. .Thesa institutions can accommodate, how ever, only 800 patients. Iu three fourths of the major Dritons.and prac tically all the jails of the couutry the tunberculus prisoner is allowed to freely infect his fellow prisoners, very few restrictions being placed upon bis habits. When the congregate mode of prison life is considered, i ho danger of infection beeouioB greater than in the general population. New York and Massachusetts where any system atic attempt has beeu made to trans fer all tuberculosis prisoners to one central institution. The largest pris on tuberculosis hospital is in Manila, whore accommodation for 200 prison ers are provided. The next largest is Clinton Prison Hospital, New York, which prvovides for 150 The fact that 100.000 prisoners are discharged from the jails and prisons of the country annually, and that ten to Hfteou per cent of them have tuber culosis, makes tho problem of provid ing Bueeiul places tor thoir treatment while they are confined a serious one. So importaut is tho problem that the prison association of Now York in co operation with the State Charities Aid Association is preparing to inaugurate a special campaign for the prevention of tuberculosis in the penal institu tions of the state, aud will seek to iu list the co-operratiou of all prison physicians aud anti-tuberculosis soci eties iu this work. The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths. There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep tive. Many sudden deaths are caused 3 by it heart dis. ease, pneumonia, heart tailure or i- apoplexy are often the result of kid nev disease. If kidnev trouble is nllowcdlondvance tbekidncy-roison-ed blood will at tack the vital organs, cu using catarrh of the bladder, brick-dust cr sediment in the urine, head ache, back ache, lnme back, dizziness, slccplcfffti.-, nervous ness, or the kidneys themselves break down mid waste nway cell by cell. Uladdcr troubles a!n:cst always result from a derangement of the kidneys and better health iu that organ is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kid neys. Swamp-Root corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and immediate effect of Swamp-Root, the great kidney reu edy is soon realized. It stands the highist be cause of its remarkable health restoring properties. A trial will convince any one. Swamp-Root is pleasant to ti ke and is sold by oil druggists in fifty-cent end oue-tloilur size bottles. You may have a sample bottle aud a book that tells all about 't, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kilmer & Co., Hingbatnton, N. Y. When writing mention reading this gen erous offer in this paper. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, and don't let a dealer sell you something in place of Swamp-Root if you do you will 1 Uisappoiuted.

Inherited vigor and hardiness as well as care determine both the lon gevity and usefulness of a horse. While the nverage horse Is considered past its prime at twelve years old. one now and then runs across n team that are remarkably well preserved and doing their daily stint of work ut tweuty flve.

All kinds of vexation and a whole lot of rebelling of fruit in the canning season can be prevented If the house wife will see that she bus u supply of new rubbers for her cuns. Afler be ing used a couple of times rubbers be come hard mid Inelastic and greatly increase the chance of leaking. The best rubbers cost about two-thirds of a cent apiece, while one can of fruit lost Is worth from 20 to 25 cents, which makes the reason for the above precaution quite plain. That lad was certainly nn excep tion to the run of boys who cried be cause his father hud considerately and properly made the necessary arrange ments for him to go to the circus, pre ferring rather to stuy borne and plow corn so that be could be with the horses, which be hud lately learned to drive, an accomplishment In which he took a deal of pride. If we remember correctly said boy was not compelled to put in a dull dny at the circus. It may be Interesting to note that this lad, now grown, Is making a nice suc cess of his farming operations. The bee moth is a pest that Is like ly to lay Its eggs In comb honey that Is stored and not properly protected, and also does so In hives In willed the swarm bus made headquarters for too long a time. The super of a hive Into which we looked the other evening was literally alive with lusty larvae and the newly batched moths. When this state of uffalrs exists the swarm Is usually done for, aud the moths and larvae should be given a sulphur smudge or a dose of carbon bisulphide by placing a few drops of the chemical on a piece of cotton and Inserting it Into the entrance to the hive. With the north pole tugged by Peary and the battle against the air seeming ly won, as shown In the remarkable nerforniances of aviators In America and Europe during the past few weeks, there would appear to be little else to achieve along the line of accompllsb Incr the seemingly Impossible and won derful. Yet a large place in public es teem waits for the man who may ne able to en teh and conserve the swel tering heat of slimmer for use during the winter season, as we already do winter's cold when we store cakes of Ice. Experiments have been conducted along this line, but so far they have been without result. With meat products nt n high notch as a result of u scarcity of food ani mals and with nn ever Increasing out put of gold tendlug to still further In flate prices, the time would seem to be appropriate for a whole lot of fellows to diversify their agricultural opera tions by making a stnrt with a flock of sheep. With Intelligent care they are easy to raise, while a major part of their keep is furnished by the weeds the bane aud waste byprod uct of most every farm. Resides very satisfactory prices which one may ex pect for mutton, the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, which shoved wool duties to a still higher level, will hardly be changed within a decade, hence good prices may be counted on for the fleece of the flock. To n man up a tree the sheep business looks mighty good for several years to come. The government Crop Reporter for June contains some very Interesting statistics on the fruit situation by states mid for the country as a whole. Tho condition of npples, which outrank In value any other single fruit crop, is placed at 53 per cent as against 01.4 for June, 1909, and C9.8 per cent, which Is the ten year average yield. Washington leads with a percentage of 05, Oregon shows 93 per cent, while of other important apple producing states Idaho promises 92 per cent of a normal crop. New York 75, Colorado 63. Michigan 57. Arkansas 50 nnd Mis souri 32 per cent. Iowa was hardest hit of all with the April freezes and shows but 7 per cent of a normal pros pect. The estimate on pears for the whole country is placed at 63.2 per feut of a normal crop as compared with 61.8 a year ago. while the pros pect for the peach crop is placed at 62 per cent ss against 54.1 per cent a year ago.
