"The way to build op Oregon City la to gilt Oregon Cltj people jonr patronage. A NEW NATION. As will be seen elsewhere, the long hoped for Molalla electric road is about to niateri alite, a company having been organised for tli it purpose, in this city. The baihting of this road would largely increase the trade of Oregon City and would be a powerful factor in developing the whole south-east part of the county. It would give the farmers of that section an easy and cheap access to market for their products and in live years time it would be the meant of doubling the value of every farm contiguous to the railroad. The laud owners who will prolit by the building of this road can welt afford to give a liberal subsidy towards hurrying up its early completion for they will receive immediate returns while the company cannot expect to gel the road on a paying basis inside of five years. The route is feasible and no heavy grades will be encountered, there being three different ways to go by, each being practic able. The power equipment would be er fect as it would have the electric station in this city to draw from as well as power fiom the Molalla and Milk creek. AN EXCELLENT LAW. MT. I'UANANT N0TK8. rinse of Two Successful Mimili-Twlllirht Club Kiiterlainment-Otlier Note uf Intrn-il, At the opening of hostilities the world thought that China with her millions of people won lil be able to annihilate her di minutive neighbor by mere force of num bers even if the Japanese did excel in equip ments. The characteristics of the two races have been clearly outlined by the war. The Chinese have been vacillating and cowardly, while the Japanese have been united and aggressive. On the sea their success has been phenomenal, while on land the war has been carried on with an im petuosity that is irresistible. Forts that have been constructed by the most ex pert engineers have been stormed and taken without any trouble. When the Chinese army marches forth with its red silk um brellas and its green and yellow banners to meet a few hundred grim ana silent soldiers from the little island beyond the sea, one expect to see great things done. A few allots are fired, the grim ; soldiers charge, and the Chinese army at once becomes a mob of panic-stricken men. Tbey throw away their red umbrellas, their green and yellow banners, and run away as if a demon were after them. Curiously enough the Japanese oommanders always leave an ave nue of escape for the Chinese, and this is invariably taken advantage of. This is a part of the Japanese plan of campaign. They have no desire to encumber them selves with prisoners. But the real racial mystery that has puz zled observers is the character of the Japan ese army. The most rigid discipline is maintained, the soldiers taking a fierce pride in obeying all orders to the very letter. Tbey march without music or banners' moving shoulder to shoulder without song or jest or laughter, the rattling of their equipments being the only sound that is made. They arouse themselves without the reveille, and they retire at night without drum or bugle. Once before a battle a cor respondent heard them singing, but they were fierce songs of war, and not songs of home. The only emotion they display is a wild pride In their country, and this is the feeling that carries them into a battle with such irapetuority. It must be clear to those who have kept up with such details of the wares have come over the wires that hereafter the peo ple of the earth will have to deal with a new nation. What Japan is she has been for years. She lias simply acquired the knack of utilizing the tremendous forces that civ ilization bat placed at her disposal. She is, . therefore, new to history, as a nation ' equipped with an intelligent government and able to deal with and dispose of events. From this point of view Japan's war with China is worthy of thoughtful consideration. The new horticultural law, a complete synopsis of which is published In another column of the Kmirprise, will prove of in calculable value to the fruit growers of Ore gon. With the insect pests increasing at rhe rate they have for the last few years, if unchecked it would be but a few years until the fruit industry would be ruined. The rigid eulorcement of the provisions of this law will be the means of enabling Oregon once more to produce those smooth red ap ples for which this state was once famous, and to render again the growing of fruit a profitable industry. It is expected that all fruit raisers will render the board a hearty co-operation, for withont their help the board will be greatly hampered In its work. The preservation of the fruit industry means thousands of dollars each year to our state. BONANZA RINGS. People are so much accustomed to con ' nect the idea of bonanzas with the precious metals that little attention Is bestowed on the iron bonanzas which are now being de veloped in Michigan. A lew years ago the Meiaba range was only of value for Its pine lumber. That was worth money anil has proved the source of manv great fortunes. But after the pines were all cut down and turned into boards it was discovered that under their rood, down deep in theowels of the earth, lie immense beds of specular rbematite ore, which is almost the only ore in the United States that is exactly the raw material for Bessemer steel. Explorations with the boring-rod proved that the body of this ore is as vast as its quality is rare. The owners of the land at first began to sell parcels outright, but latterly a practice has arisen of selling for royalties, which has given more satisfaction to both buyers and sellers. The owners exact a royalty ol from 25 cents to 40 cents per ton on the ore mined, and the buyers agree not to let the output fall below a minimum each year. Ker in stance, Wright &' Davis of Baginaw own 10,000 acres of land on the west part ot the range. They have sola a partoi cneir hom ing to the Mahoning company, which hat proved up 100,000.000 tons of ore on their purchase. The company expects to mine from 450,000 to 750,000 toris of ore per year for the next twenty years, and on every ton of this they pay a royalty of 30- cents a ton to Wright & Davis. Other tracts have been jold or leased on similar terms by the tame It Is said that Senator-elect McDride has expressed himself as In favor of several measnret of vital interest to Oregon and the Northwest. First and foremost, of 'the most importance to the development of the Pacific coast, is the Nicaragua canal ; next be favors a cable to the Hawaiian islands and the annexation of tht islands at the earliest day. He is esecially interested In the claims of the Indian war veterans for $109,000, as shown in his reports and for a pension act in their behalf : and the claim of thettate of Oregon lor its share of public land sales of 1338,000, which was fully proved up by Mr. McBride, as secretary of state. It will be seen that the new senator from Ore gon has plenty of work ahead of him, be. sides looking after Oregon's general inter ests with his well known energy and ability Thk theory that the American Indians are descendants of an Asiatic race, presuni ably the Japanese, has received a strong endorsement by the conductor the Japan ese soldiery during the present war. Their grim silence which they maintain at all times, whether on the march or in battle, is the surprise of all foreigners and is a char acteristic that is only to be found among the native races in America. Europeans, and Africans, and especially the Chinese, make more or less demonstration when on their war expeditions, but the Japanese and Indians are as silent as statues and allow neither success nor deleat to give an out ward expression to their feelings. The large amounts paid to the sheriff lor taxes would Indicate that the times are not so pinching now as was the case one vear ago. It also shows that the panicky feeling Is lubsiding, and havii.g no ''reform" con grese to fear people are freer in paying out their money. Last year each person, not knowing what might transpire, owing to the disturbed condition of the country, bung on to his ready cash as long as possi ble, and only parted with it on the most urtrent need. It begins to look as though the bottom had been reached and that we are to have better times later on. The date for making income tax returns has been extended to April 15, presumably to allow the people a chance to create an income sufficient to justify paving a tax on. Lost.
