Thk People' Trew fy that usually a p!g doesn't equeal unlee it ia pinched. Judging from Bro' Cheney's squalling in hi hut week' edition be must hare been pinched rather hrd. Tut government ia beginning to re aliie the importance of Fortfand aa a shipping point and will embark the Thirty-fifth regiment from thia port. Portland baa a good facilities a any city on the coast for shipping and gradu ally ia gaining OrienUl trde. Tut advantage of Portland as a grain market is recognized by Girsen and Eyre, grain brokers of San Francisco, who open np a branch house in Portland. Wheat of Eastern Oregon and Washing ton must cotue to Portland and the heavy grain brokers and shippers recog niae this and are now all in the field at Portland for the business. As the grain crop is threshed it is found that the percentage of spoiled grain is much smaller than was at first aupposed. The ideal weather for har vesting the hop crop has secured it in llae shape and the yield per acre is one of the largest ever harvested although the area is not so large as some former years. The man from"the land of blizzards and wheat" considers the source of the per sonal attacks upon him in the last issue of the Courier-Herald and deems them unworthy of notice, notwithstanding Mr. Cheney's cheerful statement "I will give Maw h I as Porter will be back next week and he (Maw) cannot retali ate." That is a very sickly whine the Courier-Herald puts np when it is called np for making false statements by the chairman of the general reception com mittee. The article was circulated in the proper paper and the way the editor of the Courier-Herald tries to wiggle out of his original statements would make biro the laughing stock of the street if any one paid any attention to him. V Capt. J. F. Cask of the Second Ore gon who was breveted major in the Philippines bus been appointed major of volunteers. Major Case was the engi neer for the East Side Kailway Company when that road was built, and built the reservoir for the Oreuon City Water Works. He has many friends in Oregon City and was a schoolmate of the writer at the University of Wisconsin. BoLHKa Cochkan offered to bold a joint debate with Byan at the trust conference but the windy Nebraskan refused to take part. A demagogue will always do as Bryan did, give the com mittee to understand that he is anxious for the debate until he finds that he has met his match snd then "crawfish" out of it. This man Bryan thought he could fool the people on the gold standard but now he wants to put Imperialism ia alaq Tin Coi kih-11iuu lua k whole lot to My ol what was done at th volunteer reception. After tmautlintr the volun torn and railing them murdorere ami finding that the eopla wouM nut approve any nch course that short tried to stpur Itself by contributing $10. The editor foitnil subscriber were quitting it and took thla course to stem the tide. The quitters are atill coming in, a sensible people are not bought that cheap. It I becoming clearer every day that the trade with the Orient should be to large extent in the hand ot Americans. The product (rota the Far Kant can reach the market of the world quicker and easier throtigh.the point o( America on the reiflc than by auy other route. Our export trade ha grown lyond all precedent tnd our cottou trade with Chin ia In keeping with it. We are entiled to thi trade ami ran have it it we will make the effort. It hould be done. A CoNsiPiiALB adverse criticism i being mde on ccounl of the govern. ment xchnging patented land in the timber reserve for timber outside. The claim beinti that the timber 1 lost or Uken on both pieces. The government gets the reserve entire by this process and thereby given an advantage it would not otherwise have. A great deal of criticism is also bad because the iheep are shut out. The course of the govern ment we believe is the correct one and will be to shown in the end. Tua CocaiKU-HiBALD would niske a child cmile. It talk about it editorial when most of them are sent from the east and dictated from the democratic campaign committee, and are known a boiler plate. It talk about lU circu lation and that the republican here want to boycott it. It cut so mall a figure that it opinion are never noticed here by anyone, even the democrat. A to our borrowing matter from that paper, it happen every week that ome- ttiing of thi kind i done. Thi week' iasoe of that paper ha over a column set in the Enterprise otlice. Wukx it is realized that one-fourth of Portland's trade ia with the Orient we begin to comprehend w hat the retention of the Philippine means to us in a commercial way. The commerce of Portland represent half the state and it is largely products that the farmers and laborers are interested in. This has only commenced and every effort should be made to enlarge it. The retention of these islands is the first step. We will then be at the door of China where our trade is growing rapidly. The possibili ties in the Orient fur trade to Oregon is such that no mistake can be afforded. II we take advantage of our opportunities this coast w ill reap advantages that can not be foretold now. fl , .XX 6. A A A A A A fOl ibi Friday September 15.

So here waa a vat territory, a large a New Kngtand and the state of ludlana combined, wulou seemed to t without any positive owncmhlp. But for Marcus Whitman It would havt been loat to the I'nloB. It was In 13(1 that Dr. Whitman and a man by the name of Spatildlng. with their young wlvea. tli first white wo men that ever rroed the Hx-ky mountains, entered the valley of the Columbia and founded a mixtion of the American board.

The peril, hardiihlp and delays h en countered on the way wo ran but faint ly conceive. Ida feet were frozen, he nearly starred, and once he rame very near to losing his life. He kept pushing right on. and at the end of live terrible mouths he reached Washing ton. He arrived there a worn, bearded, strangely picturesque figure, chid en tirely In buckskin and fur, a typical man of the pralrlea. He asked audience of President Tyler and Secretary of State Webster, and It was accorded, him. All clad a he was, with his frozen limb. Just In from his 4.'KK) mile rldo, Whitman appeared before the two great men to ptuaU far Ortgini. Ilia statement wa a revelation to the administration.
