Smith recently admitted before the senate investigat ing committee at the national capita! that he is the father of 42 children. Ashland has a Good Chief of Police. He recently made a raid on the "joints" of the city that were be iniT e.mduetfd in violation of the law. This otllcer -e evidently intends to give Ashland as good an admin istratiou as his name would imply. In a recent naval engagement, a Russian sailor re ceived U10 wounds and still lives. This reported tact suggests a mathematical problem: If it requires more than MiO wounds to put one Russian out of the way, how long will the Japs be in terminating the pending hostilities? Theke is general rejoicing in the change in weather conditions, and the general feeling is that tae change may continue indefinitely that the farmers may catch np with their work, whith has been badly rttarded because of the inclement conditions that have pre tailed for more than two months. By basing their apportionment of delegates on the Tote of Governor Chamberlain, the Clackamas county Democrats will make a good showing at their county convention, if tkey fail to show up again during the jear. Their county convention will consist of 172 delegates, while the Republican convenjou will in clude but 143.

It's Oregon against the world! A Soda villk farmer has gone back to Minnesota because he got tired of the rain. Thought it came down too much in chunks.

Albany Democrat. GREAT BRITAIN AT THK WOULD'S KAIK. The remarkable change in the attitude of foreign nations toward the world's fair at St. I.ouis is well illustrated by tho action of Great Rritain. When the British government first accepted the in vitation of the United States to participate in the ex position it was with the expressed intention of limit ing the exhibits to art and education and to such a display as could be arranged at a slight expense under direction of public otlicials. Subsequently, however, it enlarged the scope of its jilans, until it finally de cided to appoint a royal commission to collect and organize an exhibit that would challenge comparison with the exhibits of Germany and France. The ap propriation was at first XoO.000. Another A' 50,0 '0 was afterward set aside, and it is now the impression, according to the London Times of Feb. 21, that these grants will be so supplemented that the aggregate sum available will amount to 150,000. This ill be the largest sum ever set aside by the British government for participation in an exhibition eld in a foreign country. At the head of the royal commission is the Prince of Wales, who, following the example of his father at Chicago in IS'.W, has entered into the work with great enthusiasm. Realizing the futility of depending upon individuals to make a show of industrial products, the royal commission decided to pay a part of the transportation charges, to provide show cases, to supervise installation, and to care for exhibits in transit and while at St. I.ouis. j The announcement of this policy immediately as-j sured a display of British products that will form one j of .he great features of the expositioa. In addition to ! the allotment of I'.HJIO square feet of exhibit space, j for education, art, lilt'ral arts, varied industries, elec- 1 tricity, transtortation, agriculture, mining, social I economy and forestry, Great Hritain will have a' special pavilion, which is to be a reproduction of Wren's Orangery at Kensington Palace. One of the most interesting exhibits in the department of public works will be a reproduction of the great Assuan dam. Sp HE important tliiii!; to consider when yon lny tiling in a &Jl) tlni-; store is purity. Yon onlit not to think aliout prico 1 until you art sure aliout quality. This applies not only to drugs, but everything else sold in a drugstore. It applies to soap, perfume, powders, cosmetics, toilet articles, paints and oils and a hundred other things. Wo have no desire to he known as "cheap druggists." Wo want tho public to think of this ntoro as a roliablo place, a store where safety can always be depended upon, no matter what is purchased. Unt there is nothing extravagant about prices either. We sell tho best things at as moderate prices as can be af forded. Wo never go so low that quality must bo lowered and wo never go so high that you can not udord to buy. When ever you buy anything in some other drugstore, put down tho quality and price. Never miinl how low you think the price or how high you believe the quality t ho. Never mind what the druggist tells you. Then come hero with your notes, compare tho price and quality with ours, just for the sake of argument. We will admit that the qualities are as high as ours, but we know our prices will bo found lower. :-: :-: :: :: :-: Hlowell (L Jones RELIABLE DRUGGISTS chamihiks Howni.L I.INN I-.

In America every man is more or less a politician, and for the young men of today, who will nece-sarily be the active face of the country tomorrow, othir.g could be better than the political training that may be had in organizations of the kind men tioned. Not only that, but such clubs develop busi es3 capacity, and they tend to elevate the purpose of life. Let us hear from the young men of Grants Pass. Observer. Registration' of voters in Claskamas county has Leen very alack this year. In ten weeks but 1000 Toters have registered at the office of County Clerk Sleight. This is 700 less than had registered at the lame time two years ago. Electors who fail to register previous to May 15 will be compelled to swear in Heir votes at both the June and November elections. Voters thould bear this in mind and make it a point to comply with the registration law and thus save considerable trouble on election days. Havk you Bigned for any shares of 6tock in the Ore fen Ci'y Board of Trade that is being reorganized? More than forty shares have already been subscribed and if one of the solicting committee has not seen you, telephone H. E. Cross, and help a good thing along by taking one or more skares. This movement is receiving inch general endorsement from the business men of the city that it is really quite a popular thing to have jour name enrolled as one of tke stockholders. At my rate with its present and prospective aggressive jembership, the newly born commercial body prom fer'S to be of great value to the city. Get in the band wagon and let's wake up the old town. well-informed Americans over the final outcome of the isthmian canal controversy This paper, it will be remembered, persistently and consistently advocated the Panama route as the better and more feasible one for the water way when Con gress voted unanimously in favor of the Nicaragua route, and at a time when it stood almost alone among American newspapers in its adherence t the Panama route. The letters of Walter Wellman elaborating the advantages of this route were particularly stron.' and convincing and attracted the attention of the whole country. Now that the canal controversy is ended and the Panama route selected for the water way that is to link the oceans public interest in the work already done upon the canal and the changes in the engineer ing plans adopted since D-j Lesseps inaugurated the undertaking in 188 1 will be revived. What do we get for the $40,000,000 to be paid to the Panama Canal Company and how much work remains to be done before ships can pass from Colon to Panama? The Panama canal originally projected by Ferdi nand De Lesseps is not the Panama canal that will be built by the United States. The distinguished French engineer; emboldened by his success in cutting the Suez canal, undertook to open a great sea-level canal, cutting through the mountains of the isthmus. The' physical difficulties of the project, assisted by gross corruption of the promoters, bankrupted the company when only a small portion of the sea-level scheme had been completed. The new Panama canal project, taken up by the new company in 1 804, is on a sound engineering basis and within a calculable distance of completion. The sea-level dream of De Lesseps was abandoned and for it was substituted a system of locks. It is true that an international congress of engineers, which met in Paris in 187!), recommended a sea-level canal from Colon to Panama, but it is remembered that several members of that commission advocated a canal with locks. The hopelessness of the task of building a sea level canal was finally realized, indeed, and the com pany decided to adopt the lock plan, but the decision came too late. The new plan of construction, adopted by the new Panama Canal Company, is the result of an investiga tion made by loO engineers, with a large corps of as sistants, who occupied four years in exhaustive sur- cUm."
