BUILD THE CJ.W1L KIT The way to bnllil op Orepon Cilj 1 to gif Oregon City people your patronare. JATAXS SUPERIORITY, In view of the interest now taken in the Eastern niuddle, the following review of the situation by the San Francisco Evening Bulletin will be of interest: When Japan bean to adopt some of the ideas of Western civiliiation, the Chinese expressed the most profound contempt for the change. They have never ceased to take that view. Japan bad laid aside the traditions of thousands of years. It had sent hundreds of its most promising young men to the United States and to Europe, to acquire knowledge of all the benefits of Western education and civilization. It be gan to train an army after European meth ods. War-ahipe were bought in Europe, and the best guns and small arms were pro cared. Experienced European military men were employed to instruct the Japan ese soldiers in the modern arts of war. In short the armies of Japan in a few years were reorganized on a footing patterned after civilized Western nations, and the government took on the form of a constitu tional monarchy. During all these years the taunts and sneers of the Chinese have been unceasing. They would have nothing to do with West ern civilization and progress. At a later day, however, the Chinese government did procure sjiips of war, guns and small arms from Europe. The example of Japan was followed to some extent. But the crudeness of the small arms for her soldiers was strik ingly illustrated by the recent report that some thousands of Chinese soldiers had de parted for Corea with bows and arrows to fight the Japanese, who presumably are armed with repeating rifles. The Chinese war ships, of European buiid, were defeated by the snperior training and discipline of the Japanese navy. All these circum stances tell just now for Western civiliza tion. The Japanese are getting in their work. They have patiently suflered the taunts of the Chinese for the past ten years. They were held to be a weak nation in compari son with the 400,000,000, more or less, of Chinese. It was assumed, also, that the latter could overwhelm her comparatively small and isolated neighbor at any time. It could pour millions of men into those isl ands. This theory has been taken up to some extent abroad. The speculation has gone so far as to anticipate a possible future conflict which might involve western na tions. It was maintained that the Chinese government had only to take account of its own resources to measure its power with any of the Western nations. If unduly provoked, it would send millions of men and all the forces of a great navy to fight out its battles with these nations. That was a very specious theory on paper. Prob ably no country ever understood the false ness of this theory better than Japan. That country could have avoided the present conflict by making some concessions. The one opportunity bad come that had been looked for during many years. It is an at tempt to employ the methods of Western civilization in a match against non-progressive Oriental civilization. The important question is, can Japan at once throw off the habits of centuries and adopt the unfamiliar systems of the modern natione? Forty mill ons of people are in some sense matched against four hundred millions of similar people, with Corea as a buffer. The latter country, having a population of eight or ten millions, has been even more stationary than China. It is a notable circumstance that a con siderable number of educated Chinese in this country take substantially the view that China, under the conditions, is en gaged in an unequal contest. They allirm that nothing better could happen than that the conceit should now be knocked out of China by a war that shall show her weak ness in military science. The most effect ive way to accomplish this is by a series of battles that will drive Western ideas of pro gress into a country that has been nearly stationary for 4,000 years. Japan has the natural defenses of an isl and nation. It has a greater population than Great Britain, with an area not greatly diirerent. The latter maintains her place as the greatest elective sea power of the world. Japan starts in to maintain her po sition by means of its naval strength. It has challenged China and Corea to a trial t strength on the water. The sympathies The Sew York Mail and Express in dis cussing the Nicaragua canal question, says: It will be little short of a national calam ity if congress fails to lake immediate and energetic action looking to the completion of the Nicaragua canal. The lime has come when that great interoceanic highway must and will be built. We can no longer play " dog In the manger" policy wiih regard to it. While it would be of incomparably greater value to us than to any other na tion, both from a political and commercial standpoint, yet other nations are deeply in terested, and will be greatly benefited by It. The commerce of the world demands and will have it. The irresistible pressure of events, the steady, all-pewerful but often overlooked growth of world-wide industries and Interests will force a way across that barrier between the Atlantic and Tacilic and no nation can prevent it. There is not a first-class power in Europe whose govern ment and people would hesitate an instant to construct, and hence control, that canal were the opportunity olltred them. Asa financial investment it would be more than safe; it would be brilliant, and as a political measure it would be of the greatest Imagin- ble importance. The nation which con trols the icaragua canal will have im mense inlluence in, if not absolute control of, the politics of Central and South America. TaiagBiiy is over. The house of repre sentatives, or, more properly shaking, the democratic part of it which two months ago carried Wilson out of the hall on their shoulders upon the passage of the bill bear ing his name while they shouted themselves hoarse in his praise, has ignobly surren dered to the democratic senate. Not a vestige of the pride mai.ifest upon the oc casion of the passage of the Wilson bill which was itsell a travesty Uon the prin ciples enunciated in the platform can now be found on the democratic side of the bouse which has executed a lively "right about" and swallowed the whole of the six hundred and thirty-four senate, or rather the trust, amendments which are now by the grace of democratio president to be come a law. The party which denounced trusts has thus deliberately and in all prob ability intentionally enacted legislation in the interest of trusts of every description. After the surrender the party passed sundry paltry bills placing sugar, iron ore, coal and barbed-wire on the free list, knowing at the time that it was done that they would never become a law. This act was a cheap clap trap bid for virtue which their previous vote showed them to be utterly lacking. Tub president's one opportunity to pen veto message which will rolled credit upon him is presented In the jumble turlll' bill, but it is safe to gamble that a man who has written so many useless vetoes will not be found ready when by exercising the velo power he can do nil infinite amount of Kul. Tiikkk will have to be a change In demo cratic platforms for awhile, as not even a democrat will have the gall to "point with pride" at their record after the sundry and various somersaults indulged in during the past nion III a. Firrr thousand dollars legislated to the sugar trust by the democratic congress. And this is turlll for revenue I AT NKTAKTS BAY. Utter Ftotu a Party of Mullno Tampers Wliu Are Knjorhif the Ocean This is the way a leading democrat looks at the surrender of his party upon the taritl bill. Bourke Cockrane, of New York said in a speech in the house on Monday: " We are hopelessly discredited because of our cowardly and disgraretul surrender. Mr. Speaker, I desire to state here that, in my bumble judgment, the measure which we are now asked to pass is a more obnoxious protective measure than the McKinley act which it is designed to supplant. If we are to swallow this whole obnoxious bill, then, in the name of fair play, in the name of property, in the name of decency, in the name of American liberty and America freedom, let the gentleman from West Vir ginia (Wilson), tell us to whom we are sur rendering; tell ds who they are who consti tute the new force in the government to which we are compelled to pay tribute; tell us fully, without reserve, the character of the action which he asks us to take that we may judge the depth of infamy into which we are invited to descend. It is said that the policy of the democrats will now be to demand a cessation of agita tion of the tariff question. Inasmuch as they began agitating this question when the country was in a highly prosperous con dition and have succeeded in bringing ruin and depreciation of value on every hand, they cannot expect a suflering people to tamely submit while they experiment with costly theories at the coantry's expense, Again after the passage of their long landed tariff bill they refuse to give the business of the country a chance to recruperate by adjusting itself to the changed conditions, but at once by the introduction of new blank cartridge bills threatened industries and business by giving notice of a contin uation of hostilities. The American people have already suffered too much at the hands of the democratic party to accept its advice to keep hands off. Comment on the following clipping from the London News is unnecessary. "Though a week has not yet elapsed since the sched ule referring to wool and woolen manufac tures passed the U tilled States senate com mittee, and has yet to be considered by the bouse 6f representatives, and be referred to congress before it becomes law, tiie benefi cial effects on our trade are already dis tinctly visible. The market for the raw ar ticle, which was depressed by the failures In the Bradford district at the end of the last series of colonial wool sales, has exhib ited a more buoyant tone and a fair business has been done at prices which show a slight advance on the rates then ruling. In the manufacturing districts also a more hopeful feeling now 'exists, and the mistrust which always follows the announcement of com mercial failures is rapidly disappearing." Tothi Eiutor: The coasting party that left Mulino are comfortably situated one four I li of a mile from the bay in a nice clean meadow. We landed here on the tl rat of August, a little after noon. Our first camp ing place w as at the old red school house In the Tualatin neighborhood, where we found an old well cool and clear with an oaken bucket ready to apply ftrmstrong muscle and get waler. The next day we reached Fo rest 0 rove, a little city situate! in the midst of a fine farming country. Here we stopped travel Saturday evening mul camped over Sunday on the grounds that had been prepared for the annual soldiers' encamp ment that was to be held on the first of the month. Bright and early Monday morning we rolled out of the city for the coast by way of the Wilson creek toll mad. We reached the summit by noon. The charges at the toll gate were $1.M for a single buggy and $2 for a team and waon. This road is smooth anil has ens grades except at one place which is very sleep and requires close and careful driving. Some places along the mule the road is so narrow that teams can not pass, but by being careful one can avoid collision in such places. Now and then e heard of a buggy that w as backed by hand over the Riade so as to lei teams pass. A tier one reaches the summit, or just before, then- Is one of the grandest views I ever beheld Looking from an elevated position on the mountains out upon the beautiful golden yellow grain fields sweked with the glitter of fine residences. This scene embraces the valley and prairies for about forty miles. All along this route one can see something to admire. One ol the curiosities was a house in a stump. That is: a stump had been burned out Inside, Just leaving the sap so as to form a hollow cone about twenty feet high. Out of this some nan of taste has provided himself a borne complete with door and while knob. At a rough estimate the stump-house is twenty leet in diameter Today is a fine, pleasant, sunshiny morn ing, but cool and refreshing. We have had some rain twice; once in the night that dampened things considerably. Fishing is not so good as one wonld expect. It re quires skill, patience and good tackle to get fish. The most and best kind captured thus far is the perch, or, as some call them, surf bass. One of the choice dishes among the coast relishes is the mussel, which, when fully developed, is more than six inches in length. This shell fish is very rich and is of a golden yellow. Their home is on the rocks to which they cling by a heavy beard, which requires some exertion to loosen them. One of the natural werks of nature is the tunnell up near the lighthouse. It Is over 3n0 long and near the center it Forks and form another part. Just at the junc tion it forms a cathedral about forty feet nigh which is a grand work of nature in deed. This tunnel can only be reached at low tide. Near this tunnel is what they call the Sea Lion rocks, there being three or four large rocks about one-half mile from shore where the sea lions abound in great numbers. Here is where the sportingmen and crack shots have a chance to try thei marksmanship and fine guns. There was a party of men went out there last week and weighed one that killed a ton. They did not utilize the beast as they killed it Just to have the name of killing a sea lion. Clams and oysters are In abundance and they make a delicious soup and are nice fried like beefsteak, but are not quite so nice as the mussel. We have a large tree near our camp that measures sixty-three feet in circumference. This tree has sprang ling roots which cover about one-eighth of an acre, and inside is a large cavity in which we hang up our harness, wash-tub and various other articles which we wish to protect from any torrent of rain that migh descend. We have mail three times a week and it requires about four or five days to get letter from home. Our party are all gaining in flesh and we eat three square meals a day and generally can't wait till the next meal is prepared. Netakts, Aug. 0, 18!H. C. E. Knotts. fttnmird 8trlilmrs.

The Polk Couuty Observer says: Our exchanges are canvassing the possibilities of sending a new man to the United States Senate lo succeed Hon. J. N. Dolpb. While all the names suggested are those of good men, yet we think a mistake will be made if Senator Dolph is not re-elected, for the fight in June latt was anything to beat Dolpb. In that fight Senator Dolpb tri umphed over the demo-pop combine, and the reward should be his. , Salmon Spray. Salmos, Aug. 11. The camp ground at this place presents a very lively appearance now, there being about twenty camps in one group. Mr. Keeman and party from Portland added their presence to the camp yesterday. A dance was enjoyed by the young folks of the camp at Mr. Mdn tyre's last Friday night. A good time was had. One will be had at Upper Salmon tonight. Mrs. Y.
