THE WORLD'8 COMING POWER, Everybody hereabouts has gone pewer mad, and no wonder, for each day as it passes, but adds o the certainty that wealth far greater than any to be wrested from the J Klondue s fron-n sands is to be got out of ' J'wgara's green waters by those who have dared to harness the world's greatest cata ract. Tbe most marvelous dream of the age a beii g resliied in the quiet-looking gray tone power-house that stands a mile or two above (lie fall. Three enormous dyna mo, each weighing many tons and whirl ing at th rate of &H revolutions minute, re constantly transforming water-power equal to that or 15.050 horses nM) e'W'ncal eperjry, But this 1i Only A beginning. On both titles of the river men are steadily at work in tbe sunlight by day and in tbe mystic current' glare by night making ready for tbe pro duction of nearly forty-fold more power. By tomorrow so to speak, enough fore will be got out of the rushing water to tarn every wheel In every factory in every city of the Empire state, including tbe Greater New ' 3Tork itself. When tbe work now in pro jrrees is done, the total output will be as fol lows: H. P. To be developed in the present tunnel 100,000 To be developed in the second tunnel (not yet built) f. 150,000 To be developed in the three Cana dian tunnels.; 350.000 To be developed by Hydraulic Power Co. 150,000 country. But the Enterprise will stand corrected, on the word of those participat ing, that the meeting spoken of as being held ouiuudsy was for the purpose of or ganising a lodge of Sont of Hermann, a Ger man benevolent order, and not for oltlical puro!es. While it is shown that this par ticular meeting had no connection with iHilltios, yet the Knterprise has definite knowleege that such a movement has been oeen unaer way in mis county lor some past, but this will probably be the last of it, for so many Germans, as well as Ameri cans, have censured this pernicious effort to make of the German vote a cat' paw to pull someone a political chestnuts out of the fire, that the instigator of ii will give it up as a dangerous expedient. It Is pitiful to witness th childish jeal ousy of an alleged Oregon City editor, who with the assistance ol a nondescript, bicycle biped, ba for the past year been endeavor ing to get out a paper, which so far has gained but an uncertain circulation and a doubtful reputation, at the success of the other city papers, who do not have to resort to "holler plate" matter to till up their local pages and to rely on reprint and ready-made editorial sent out by the republican national press bureau, to supply their edi torial columns. If these would be editors bad a little "softening of the brain" their paper might be more readable and they would cease to be the laughing stock of the town and disgrace to the vocation they are attempting to follow. The Enterprise Picturesque rallfiiriiln. Miss Helen Kelleher, a dltrilnt'iilitiit'd elocutionist and dramatic render of Cali fornia, will describe the gloried ami won ders of the Uolden state in a lecture and stereopticon exhibition at tho HuplM church next Monday evening, November 1st. Her lecture will lie. illuatrated bv 200 realistic scones of our sister state under the moot powerful lime-light stor eoptican on the .'aciuo count. Next to a personal visit this affords the beet mentis of becoming acquainted' with the gran dour and beauty of California. The lecture is under the auspices of the Chris tiun Endeavor society and the entire proceed go to the eociety and ill be used in finishing some new Sunday school cms rooms Ol Miss Kelloher't lecture in Portland the Oregonlan says: Iu a delightful pleasant way, Miss Helen Kelleher, of San Francisco, a native daughter of the GolJen state, entertained an appreciative audience gathered in the auditorium of the Grace Methodist Eoiseonal church last evening. The lecture waaon "Semi tropic California," beautifully illustrated w ith a profusion of handsome etereopti con views, some so realistic in present ment as to almost startle the beholder.

The United Stales treasury department had only a deficit of a little over f-1,000,000 to contend wilh for the second month that the Dingley bill was In operation, while the deficit for the second month the Wilson bill was in effect the deficit amounted to over $13,0i 0,000 SPIRIT OP THE PRESS. Of the spasmodic attempts that a few alleged politians are trying to make a belittle to standing of Congressman Tongue in bis district and prevenit his re-nomination next spring, the McMinnville Transcript has tbe following to say: "And now the work is being passed along the line by the "powers that (want to) be" that Congressman Ton gue must take a back seat at the next nom inating convention to give place for Mr. Geer. In fact some of the said "p. t. (w. t.) b." go so far as to assert that If they can't have (beir way they propose to "bust things wide open." Well, that is really too bad; but it is only in keeping with that particular class of politicians, Just what Mr. Tongue has done or what he has not done ia not fully explained. But the people are waking up to tbe situation of affairs." Were tbe penalty made as severe as tbe crime deserves, train wrecking and hold-ups would be far less frequent than Ibey now are. On this subject the Portland Welcome baa the following sensible observations to make "Judge Sears did the community a valuable service and set a good precedent when he sentenced the would-be train rob bers to over thirty years' imprisonment. Holding np train and street-cars is an in dustry that is in urgent need of repression, and a few each sentences will have a tendency to induce the enterprising gentry who contemplate engaging in this business to turn their attention in some more prosaic and legitimate direction." Nothing more to the point on tbecaanged conditions of the country, as between those prevailing dining Cleveland's administra tion and now under M Kinley' adminis tration, has appear! in the press, than the following truism written by the Gales Spur correspondent for tbe Forest Grove Hatchet; "The bunting season Is now open and sportsmen are taking advantage of It, but there have been hunting seasons Over which Oregon had no jurisdiction During Cleveland's administration tbe president bunted ducks, working men bunted Jobs and money bunted it bole. Now the ei president is hunting calamities, the jobs are hunting tbe working men and money is hunting investment." Tbe free silver papers of Oregon can no more withstand the Corbett "influence," than could the populist legislators, who went into the hold up of last winter, as the following from the Capital Journal proves: "We print in this issue the ideas of Hon H. W. Corbett, of Portland on tbe question of currency reform and finance. He is a student of the subject, a man of great busi ness experience and practical knowledge of banking. His theory and suggestions are all on the basis of the tingle gold standard Mr. Corbett is possibly the ablest and clear est thinker along tbe line iu the West. While many will not agree with him, there is none can deny his ability, hi sincerity and consistency. We commend bis utter ance to our readers as the most advanced statement of the gold standard view. It is worthy ol preservation. That there will be a tremendous rush into the Yukon gold held nextspring is doubted by no one. Of the number of persons who will go to make up this army of gold seek ers, the Victoria Colonist gives the follow ing as its estimate: Tbos. Cook & Bon, the world-famous excursion agents, say that 100,000 is a conservative estimate of tbe number of people who leave Great lirillan alone for the Yukon next season. It is not unreasonable to suppose that as many peo ple at least will go from the United States. Most persons will consider these figures as very conserva tive. They appear to be so, when we reflect that in eight months hulf a million people left tbe United Kingdom and the continent for Johannesburg. If we put tbe number of possible intending immigrants into the Yukon at 200,000 we have a host that will choke every avenue of transportation, and make an unprecedented demand upon the supply of food products. It is very proba ble that a large proortion of tbese people will not come to British Columbia, buteven If only half of tbem do, we will have a problem of tremendous magnitude to deal with. The rush will begin early in the new year, will last all summer, and in the fall there will be the return rush. Total 750,000 Tbe real meaning of these figures is not clear until it is remembered tbat Lowell Mass., famous the world over as a manu facturing town came into being because it was possible to develop 11,145 horsepower from tbe waterfalls within its bounds; that the total water horsepower available at Minneapolis, renowned wherever men eat bread because of its gigantic flouring mills, is only 25,000; tbat Buffalo, now a city of Dearly 400,000 inhabitants, ranking fifth or sixth among the cities of the United States, uses less than 60,000 horsepower, and all the manufactories In New York state, in cluding those of the great aggregation of cities at tbe mouth of the Hudson, are operated by less than 550,000 borseiower. In otber words there are now planned enough hydraulic and electric installations at Niagara Falls to furnish power for a city so vast iu extent that Greater New York, Paris and Chicago would be only villages in comparison. Some tbere be who predict tbat such a city, greater than any the world ba yet seen, will grow up in the immediate vicinity of the cataract. Buflalo Express. The past fifty years has been an era of steam power, hut now tbe world is entering on an era of water-power, tbe development of which has been made possible by the application of electricity, and great manu facturing centers are springing np on every hand revolutionizing tbe old industrial centers of the country. While Niagara Falls is snrely destined to be the industrial center of the East, Oregon City will as snrely be tbe manufacturing center ol the Pacific coast. Having a water-power rated by the United States engineers at 56,000 horse-power, which is five times greater than that of Lowell, New England's great manufacturing city, and more than double that of Minneapolis, the greatest milling center in the world, it can be readily seen what are the possibilities in store for Oregon City. And when it is remembered that for over eight months out of the year the falls of the Willamette are capable of furnishing over 100,000 horse-power, with no interfer ence from frost to retard the flow of water as at Lowell, Minneapolis and other water powers within the cold belt. Oregon City will, before our people are fairly aware of it, bave a population of 100.000 and with Portland, as its big brother, will have 1,000,000 people within their limits, before the young men of today are gray with age. Thi Enterprise lias beeu taken to task for its criticism, given in the edition of last week, upon the movement in this county to organize the German voters into a politi- cal body. Tbe Enterprise has no apology to make for what it said on this subject, for it, with every fair-minded American, whatever his place of birth may have been, holds that racial prejudices should not be brought into tbe politics of this with which Miss kelleher delivered it mane it doubly attractive and appreciable. In the capacity of a well- informed guide, she accompanied her interested audience Iroiu Portland to the extreme southern portion ol California, over the Southern Pacific lines, with side trips to the Yoseuiite yalley, Lake Tahoe and other weil-known resorts. Tl ere were glimpses of rugged mountain scenery found in the Siskiyou and Cascade ranges, and in striking contrast were a series of beauti ful viewsof the famous citius belt and the almost tropical landscapes of Santa Barbara, Pel Monte and Los Angeles. The enjoyable trip was made in less than two boure, and when Yuma was reached the delighted audience bidden good night, every one present went home well pleased with the instructive entertainment.
