Much was written in the daily papers of Portland during the previous week in regard to the visit of a tcoie or more of Eastern capitalists and bankers to that city, tbe party being known as the Morris and Whitehead excuisionists, and while much significance is attached (o the presence of the gentlemen in Port land, the meaning of their coming is of more moment to Clackamas county people, perhaps, than to any others of the state. Fred S. Morris is tbe presi dent of the Oregon Water Power A Rail way Company, a corporation that has a right to be regarded by the people of this county with more than a momentary consideration. Mr. Morris arranged for this visit of the capitalists with the piime object of having the gentlemen look over the situation of contemplated trolley lines connecting diiferent points of Clackamas and Multnomah counties with Portland. The significance which attaches to this is very important from a standpoint of the fortunate residents of Clackamas county. Vaat changes are soon to take place in tbe coumry tribu tary to Portland, which will be brought about by the introduction of just tfuch methods as the Fred S. Morris party will inaugurate and out Into actual working order. These opportunities have always existed here but for some indescribable reason the resources have lain dormant and the opportunities have been unfav orably regarded until conditions became such that something must and is certain to be done in a way of more modern and progressive methods for putting us in touch with the business centers of the county and state. These methods have tbrusted themselves upon us, or nearly so, at least, for while the opportunities were beckoning, the importunities were disregarded by local people, and from afar came the hand to guide the way to tbe important position in the commercial world which our resources and oppor tunities have a right to occupy. En courage these men and methods. Tbeir personal presence lends an influence second in importance to the work to be accomplished by the expenditure of their money and energy, and to receive them hospitably, treat them courteously and encourage them morally, if not financially, will redound not only to our credit and good judgment, but to our financial and commercial benefit.

Mr. Urowr was elected to congress InlSnO, w as speaker w hen tho civil war broke out and was author of the famous home stead law. Of lute years Mr. (irow has been sent to congros as congressman at large from Pennsylvania, hut, with the redisricting of the state, that position has been abolished and he will not make a tight for his own ilintrict. Nut Ice la Taxpayer (Inner. mill Properly people to get the beat results and seo They have kept the vow, aasistsd, of that tbe most judicious methods are course, and the experience acquired in mastering the intricate problems of west ern development. Katisas is now raising wheat, corn and hogs insteatt of "political vagaries." In the five years ending with the crop of l'.HH, Kansas raised 323,17(1,404 bushels wheat aud 6$l,4o2,tM)2 bushels of corn. The average annual yield of wheat (or ten years was 4,.i,4d0,4T4, bushels, and of corn 142,S5t,5o3 bushels, the average to tal value of both crops being over f(i0, 000,000. The average total product of farm and ranch for twenty years has been $142,8(I,3S0 annually. In addition to these bumper crops the state has made a magnificent showing in finances. It has paid off nearly all its mortgages, has built costly schools and other public buildings, and also has money in the bank. In December, lS'.Kl, the state banks had on deposit $ 14,553,- 000; in September, 1901, they had 42, 000,000, while the national banks had 145,000,000 more. Kansas has many flourishing manufac tories in her towns, but it is not the des tiny of Kansas to be a manufacturing state, says Mr. Harger. The Kansan will try no more to make farms of the short grass country nor to build a metro polis at every cross-roads. After three decades of trial he will pin his faith to "mixed farming," to grazing, to cattle, horses, sheep, wheat and millet, alfalfa corn, cows, beans, windmills and hay. employed for the expenditure, of (uinls lor this purpose. The Enterprise is pleased to kuow that a deep seated in terest ia being manifested in this most important matter by our county officials, (or while the public at large feels a great concern in the matter, the commissioners are regarded as the leaders in this work, and any information or ideas they may acquire by an attendance upon the road convention wilt only all the more enable them to discharge their important duties in a manner to bring belter results and greater benefit to the people of not only 1 the interior, but of the business centers P!""

On au "exaggerated parallelogram," tipped three thousand feet higher at the west end than at tbe east, million and a half of people bare settled in two dec ades. This- ia Kansas, state whose his tory is filled with spectacular events that have entertained tbe nations. Time was when tbe name of the Bun flower State was associated with grass hoppers, cyclones, populists and farm mortgages. But that was tbe old Kan sas "bleeding," mortgage-ridden Kan sas that developed a vast breed of politi cal rainbow-chasers and calamity bowl- era. There is a new Kansas, better, riser and moro prosperous lLan the old , 'rom sncb a meeting as that held GREAT PROMOTERS. Quietly, with little publicity, but with ability and comprehensive knowledge of the possibilities, the banking house of Morris & Whitehead has formulated plans for improvement that mark a red letter date for Portland and Oregon. A total of something like two millions of dollars is to be expended in extending the lines of tbe Oregon Water Power A Railway Company, of which system Morris & Whitehead are the financial sponsors. Their enterprise will add to Portland's commercial importance, and be a boon to people living along their lines. It will enable the better marketing of products in a region heretolore isolated, excepting for connection by ordinary country roads. It will place in circula tion immense sums of money. It will employ large numbers of men. It will in every particular beneGt Portland and this part of the Northwest. The firm, bringing out from Philadel phia and New York a company of dis tinguished capitalists, has drawn their attention to this section. They will learn of opportunities of investment, and this means something. They represent a total approximating 12.50,000,000. Tbe Journal congratulates Messrs. Morris & Whitehead, and their local manager, Mr. W. H. Hurlburt, on this excursion of Eastern men of affairs and importance in the financial and business world. It will have significant bearing upon tbe future of this city and state. Portland Journal. Somk interesting facts regarding the development of the wood pulp industry and the dependence of our paper manu facturers upon imported pulp wood are brought out by the reported threat of the Canadian parliament to put an export duty of $4 a cord on wood used in the manufacture of pulp. Advices from Ot tawa are to the effect that parliament will be a.-ked to place this exort duty on pulp wood as a retaliatory measure should the United States, as rumored, place an additional import duty ot 25 per cent on Canadian wood pulp. The effect of this export dutv would he to compel the manufacture of pulp, so far as Can ada is concerned, to remain entirely in the bands of the Dominion manufactur ers. The United States would be com pelled to take off the duty, it is claimed, or do without pulp. It is estimated that in the last twelve years from 8,000,000 to J 2 ,000, 000 cords of pulp wood have been imported into the Uuited States to Can ada. It is argued by advocates of the export duty that all of this wood could have been mantfactured into pulp in Canada, giving employment to thousands ol Canadians and adding vastly to the wealth of tbe Dominion. The outcome of the discussion is awaited with much interest by the pulp and paper mauulac turers of this country. 'I'll TVvrtit I'orm.

Comkissionbbs Lewellen and Killin were in Portland a day or two this week in attendance upon the National goods roads convention, where tbey undoubt edly received information which will be of value to them and onr connty in tbe work of road building in tbe future. Tbe subject of good roads is one which always will be given an attentive ear by the average Oregonian, and rightly it should, because of tbe important place tbe subject occupies in the great work of local development and progression which Western Oregon is experiencing. Truly enough there has been a wonder ful improvement along these lines In most of the Western counties within tbe last four or five years, although the mat ter is yet in the embryo, and any in formation onr county officers can gather in Witiiis the past three years 200 Mor mons have settled in Grande Itonde val ley. They have purchased some of the choicest farms on the Sand Kiilgu and divided them up into 20, 40 and 80-acre tracts, and are raising sugar beets prin cipally. In the city of La Grande they have a commodious church building with a seating capacity for about 500 people. They own the beet BUgar factory, have recently purchased the plant of the Grande Konde Lumber company at Perry, by far the most complete saw mill in Eastern Oregon, the Steel Spur saw mill, the (lilgard planer and all the available timber near these millH. They have a grocery store, paint store, jeweler, loan agent, real estate men, lawyers and other business men in La Grande, be sides a thriving community at Alicel and Union, They are industrious folks and cultivate their farms to the highest degree. Treatment, bis liberality ia certainly worthy ol serious consideration. That Ii. Miles is one of the world's most successful physicians is proven by hundreds of testimonials from well known people. One patient cured after failure of eleven Grand Rapids physi cians, two after being given up by six aud seven Chicago physicians, another after nine leading doctors in New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago failed. 1000 testimonials sent upon request. The eminent Itev.-W. Hell, D. P., of Dayton, O , lien. Sec'y of Foreign Mis sions, writes editorially in the Slate Sun day School Union: We des.re to state that Irom personal acquaintance we know Dr. Miles to be a moot skilllul specialist, a mail who has spaied neither labor nor 1 1 ,,,,,v (,, yl)lir letter bu....

P., Fx Pres. ol Rush Medical College, wrote in 1S74: "Dr. Miles has taken two courses ol my private instruction in diseases of tbe heart and lungs." Mr. Truman De Weese, editor Chicago Tunes-Herald, states: Dr. Miles cured me of years ol inherited headache ami il .iuie-s." The well-known manufacturer ol Free port, III., J. C. Scott, says: "I had fruitlessly spent thousands ot dollars on uhysieiana until I consulted Dr. Miles." Mrs. Frank South, of Chicago, writes: "Dr. Miles cured me of dropsy after five leading physicians hud given 1110 up." This new system of Special Treatment Is thoroughly scientific, and immensely superior to the ordinary methods. As all alllicted re riders may have $1 00 worth of treatment free, we would advise them to send for it at once. Address Dr. Franklin Miles, 20IJ to 21)5 State, treet, Chicgo, III.

B th A J Hiri A w its Bou;t of TiiK Enterprise does not choose to be contentious in this matter, but we can see no fault In a public wedding, even if a prize of (100 is offered to those who are willing to assume tbe marriage relation in public. It is no worse than the is suance of invitations with the expecta tion that the gaests will bring substantial presents. Such a union is scarcely less modest than one in which tbe portraits of the contracting parties and every de tail of the clothes tbey bad on is paraded through tbe columns of the press. Of course tbe ideal wedding is the one which takes place at the "borne of tbe bride's parents," and is witnessed by tbe relatives and immediate friends of tbe bride and groom. That is tbe old fashioned and best way to be married, and it ia tbe way by which the "con tracting parties" are most likely to stay married. Hecond-haad M'htelnandGun for stale cheap. JehDn Jc Lamb.
