Bryan to find that Lis newspaper cannot live as a mere curkwity. IIappt is the town that rvjoiifs in the bounties of heaven and wants for noth ing. Such is Oregon City. Bets are freely being made that oar own Dinger Hermann will land squarely on bis feet when be falls out of the land odice at Washington. Tusbb is something beautiful about the never-ending expectation of Tilla mook county. The people oyer there really believe they are to have a railroad some day. Thodi who are prone to believe that the street railway between Oregon City snl Portland is losing money, may be gratified to learn that the passenger traf fic alone is worth upwards of $100 a day. Usui at the feel of Willamette falls, with nature smiling from the mountain tops, sits Oregon City. Blessed in a se rene consciousness of contentment, the happy town can well afford to let its en vious rivals wrangle. A xkbby war is in prospect between the steamboats, the electric street rail road and the steam railroad between Oregon City and Portland. It will be a three cornered fight, and the people may reap a reward from the rivalry, by ob taining cheaper transportation. ' Now that the president is coming to visit this coast, let us stop all squabbling and bickering and receive the chief mag istrate in a befitting manner," Astoria Herald. As only a small part of the population of Oregon is either "squabbling" or "bickering, it will not be a difficult mat ter to reach a unanimous conclusion. A stoby is told of a Chinook school teacher who had a dread ot all kinds of contagious diseases. She sent a child home because her mother was sick. The next morning the child presented her self at school with her finger in her mouth ard a hood swinging by the strings, saying:("We've got a new baby at our house, but mamma says I shall tell you 'taint catching." Astoria Herald. Tuebb Is talk that a large number of immigrants is about to arrive in Corval lis. Before their arrival it is suggested that sidewalks leading to the two rail road stations be improved. There are holes in some of them that are a positive menace to life and limb, Every immi grant that falls in one of them and breaks his neck will certainly locate elsewhere. Corvallis Times. Tub deadly cigarette is being made the subject of .legislation in several states. Minnesota has Just passed a law, making it a criminal offence to sell cigarette or the paper in which they are wrapped; The cigarette smoking habit has been noticed by the larger railroad companies, and they refuse to employ those who are addicted to it, The United States army will not admit confirmed cigarette smo kers to its ranks. When cigarette smo ers, like morphine fiends are relegated to a class by themselves, the habit may be come leas popular. The editor of the Clatikanle Chief is not a Christian in the true sense of the word. Ho has spoken harshly of a de linquent suWriber in Hie following well choeou remaiks: The Chief stall works 52 weeks per year j that's labor, Now ami then some oneptysfor the paper; that's capital.

Hut later on Justice will over take the last named creature, for there is a place whore he will got his just do- sorts ; that's hell. iviim-JDicmi Bk Foa the first lime In his life G rover Cleveland has Income a distinguished personage. He is now the only living ex-preiilent of the United States. As a duck hunter he Is only up to the aver age, and so far as fishing is concerned, there is many a Siwash Indian that can beat him. In the matter of raising ba bies he has a good hatting average, but nothing to astonish an Oregoa farmer. He was always a fairly good drinking man, but the gold cure Institutes tan produce those who are his superiors at this particular branch of political prefer ment. As an ex-president, however, he stands alone. Cobvalus has lately leaped into prom inence as an egg center. An egg war be tween two local firms baa made a stir in the market that has brought about phe nomenal reunite. From every direction eggs are arriving in an abundance that discredits belief. From away down by Albany, from iShedd station, Halsey and other parts they stream, in undiminished numbers. It is said that every hen for mii a around hkS her eye on Corvallis. On account of the war, evgs are higher priced in Corvallis than in 1'ortlkuJ. They are three or four cents higher than in Albany. They are in fact a round IS cents a dozen to the farmer who brings them to town, though a Corvallis eg eater can buy all be wants at any store in town at 12'(' cents a dozen. Corvallis Times. Tuxt are having a wild time in Salem over the introduction of the occupation tax. Those who carry on the most ex tensive business enterprises are tickled to death, while men of small means are staring bankruptcy in the face. While the principle of an occupation tax works well in some instances, it is undemo cratic, and a relic of the past. To the man who is thoroughly established in business, the tax is not a burden, but the poor man feels it tremendously while be is struggling to make both ends meet. That the levying of an occupation tax is a hardship on the weaker lines of busi ness, cannot be disputed. falem will find before long that the law will have to be repealed or there will be plenty of empty stores, office and shops, in the town. The injustice of the tax can easily be comprehended, when it is shown that sawmills pay but $15 a year while a poor cobbler pays $23. Ealem had better be come civilised. f u j . 1T-1 x:v-n x IV 1 . ihc r Tin employment of Japaoese laborers by the railroads has occsa'oned no end of anxiety among the labor unions as to what the outcome would be. The tail roads Save announced that they will dis pense with Japanese and hire Italians. Th8 settles the controversy without solving the problem. The war against the Japanese was waged with much bit terness. The Japs worked for $r a day and boarded themselves. At Everett, Washington, the whole subject was thor oughly dissected by the citizens, who held mass meetings to protest against the railroads giving employment to the subject of the Mikado. It was then shown that the Japs were a menace to the progress of any community. Tbey paid no taxes, tbey had no families, they boarded with nobody, tbey bought no food except that which came from Japan. When tbey quarreled among themselves the officers of the law bad to maintain peace. When they became sick with contagious diseases the health of the community was endangered and the hospitals were opened to them. Tbey were a source of governmental car and yet paid no money to defray the expen ses of the government. It was this uey happy condition that forced tb people ot Everett to protest against their em ployment, and not because of any intol erance of spirit toward foreigners. Now tb railroads avoid the unpleasantness by hiring Italians. They have given an order for 2,000 men of Italian birth to work in Washington and Oregon. In defense of themselves the railroads say they cannot hire native American who will work steadily. Tb labor unions might find some pracitcal arguments in tb claims of the railroad companies.

"An Embassy Attache." in The Wash ington Mirror of March 16, aays: "A most attractive man has been elected to the next senate, and one who baa already served several terms here Senator Mitchell, of Oregon. He is the father of the little Countess (alasl no longer little) Itochefoucald, whom you know and love. How, indeed, can any one know this charming person and not love berT Surely no American girl, mar ried in the European nobility, has half ber beauty or good tact. Her father's return to the senate will not, however, tempt ber to come to America. She is as much wedded to France as she is to Rochefoucauld, and I doubt if she ever returns to this country. "Her father is an extremely handsome man, even now, 'when he ha passed the half century lfrnit by several years, and baa always been counted as hsying much magnetism. He Is a lawyer of repute, and for msny yeais was the attorney for one of the leading railroads of the coun try, but in spite of the fact that he has always had a handsome Incoaie he has never laid aside a cent, and is one of the poorest men in politics, which is more honorable, to my mind, than it is comfortable." BOYCOTT ON IIEKH. An interesting contest is being waged between the labor unions on one side and the big breweries of Portland on the other. It appears that the Portland breweries have not been paying very good wages. It is not difficult to be lieve this when it is known that wages in nearly every btanch of business are lower in Portland than In any other city of equal size in the United States . The reason for this peculiar stale of affairs has not been explained. The boycott is a queer weapon. When It la wielded by a combination of rich and influential men, it is called a "community of interest." When labor anions make ose of it the name is changed to "dealing with unfair con cerns." Although the boycott ha usually failed i the hands of united labor, it ha always been successful when applied to breweries, There is practical reason for this. Those -who drink beer are nearly always in com pany. The reason why the boycott so often fail is because laboring men do not have the strength ot character to stand together on any principle which they aassert, unless one is watching the other. Boycotts instituted against cer tain brands ot tobacco have invariably failed because those who agreed to stand together never carried out their promi ses to each other. While they ware in company they were courage personified, but once separated they Ix-como weak In their resolutions, As the drinking of beer is done In company, the boycott on brewerloa has never been known to fall. If Ulwrlng men would know their strength, they must learn first of all to stand together. Oi l) M X 0l A UM'E M0HK. Puti nt Pulton lnjrrtrtl lute the tultrr Ing Vital ef deerg.

I repeat, that it come with a bad grace from one who tailed so foolishly a yourself to do your duty to your state, to accuse Messrs. Hedges and Dresser of that which they are not, in any Sense of the word or deed, guilty. Had you shown the manly courage and political Independ ence to obey your sworn duty, and bad not frittered away your time at the Eldridge block, were the hold-up harem was kept, and which is and always will be a reproach to the state, yon might now have been state senator or equally prominent, and on your way to the guberhatorlal mansion. Let me say In closing, George, that people detest a knave and pity a fool, but trust neither There is a determination on the part of the people of this nation and this stale to rid themselves ol those who have proven either. While I know and repeat thai you were probably deceived for awhile through your innocence; still, when you had so much time to reflect yon Inust have known that you were unconclously guilty of a very serious Violation of political morality. liut to persevere in wrong doing, and shift your blunders on others, is not the part of a courageous, honorable gentleman. As I remarked, you are young and have a great deal to learn, especially about politics. Now my advice la to start right, keep right, and you will come out right. Just try it, George, for a change.
