Watson's protniHod visit to San Fiuueiseo, during the holidays, is in tended to replenish or deplete his poli tical forces. remarkably low, showing a u.oit eco nomical administration of the a Hairs of tho sheriffalty in this county. In addition to that, tho inquiry de veloped tho fact that Sheriff William Frnzier is a vory popular man and en joys tho confldenco of tho peoplo of this city and county. Ho is beyond doubt ono of the most qtiiot, most unassum ing and most faithful officials who over did important sorvico for tho peoplo of Multnomah. England is suffering galling defeat in tho Transvaal. Kven General Duller, "tho chief of Britons on tho firing lino," has been whipped. Tho British army has suffered terrible loses in nearly every engagement and has been pronouncedly outdone in every battlo of consequence. English losses have been extremely and most discourag ingly heavy. Now forces aro being or ganized in England and it is evident that all of the available "fighting con tingent" in the queen's domain will bo necessary to tho successful termination of tho war with tho Boers. A MI5RRY CHRISTMAS. "? What a halo of holiness there is in tho word Christinas! What a joy it in spires in tho little ones' hearts to hear tho family chat about what Santa ClaiiB will do for children who havo been good enough to warrant his favor on that holy day. And set it is a mat ter chiefly of sentiment. Why should it not bo? What else could it be? But thoro is in this, 18D0th year Anno Domini, no now fact discovered con corning tho custom of oborvinyg tho day. Thero is nothing new in tho his tory of tho season. Therefore, Tho Now Ago will renow its orison for tho happiness, on this occasion, of all of its readers, great and small, and tho few remaining members of mankind as well; and it will sup plement this prayer with expression of tho hopo that tho now year may bring v itli it greater prosperity and increased comforts to all. DAWSON-MACDOWELL CO. M'DANII-UAS FATE. (ienoral Lawton'H death by a Filipino bullet is a national tragedy. Ho was acceptably tho most aggressive and tho bravest soldier in tho Philippine cam paign, No man in tho army today, -whoso record is known, cau take his place. Public men whoso purposes aro puro Holdout get into such scandals as that in which Governor Goer IIikIh himself in tho Plummet' controversy. If .Mr. Plummor has libeled .Air. Gcer, Mr. Goer's remedy is to piosecuto him for it. Since the beginning of the Christian era and tho birth of our Savior, it has been tho custom of his followois tho peoplo of oery civilized country on earth to commemotato with lifting services this great event. Christmas means much to every person, whether it is the lisping baby, tho playful youth, or tho grave old man, it brings its glad tidings. General llcebo, it is rumored on tho streets, will bo the next Republican candidate for .Mayor. General lleobo is a very popular man and would cer tainly make an excellent mayor. His effective work in behalf of Portland in tho Fast lecently served to strengthen him gieatly in this community. It simply showed what Beebo could do when ho eainestlv undeitook to do it, Scnatois Simon and MoBrido have been suitably placed on imiKirtaiit com mit tees. They aio in iulluential posi tions lo do good work for tho Paoille coast and especially for Oregon. Sen ator Simon has been particularly for tunate, as a new member of that great I oily, in seeuiiug Mich eminence among tho great committee organizations of tho United States senate. ISowrunr (leer has denied Mr. Plum liter's impeachment. Of course ho would, lie could do nothing else but he was a long while doing it. Tho Plummet' smoke became so dense that tho Gcer coiistltueuey dually (Hhcov mod a Maine and promptly attempted to put it out with a squirt fiom one of tho state-house chemicals. Thev suc ceeded temporal ily; but the tlio still smoulders and will continue to h noulder until Goxoruor (Jeer prose cutes Plummet' for criminal libel oi confesses the crime. Tho McDaniel-Fitch murder trial, which was closed on Sunday with a verdict of manslaughter against the de fendant, added an interesting chapter to the criminal history of the state Tho manner in which tho ease was conducted by District Attorney Sowull and Deputy Giltner, is very generally commended for tho olicitation of facts, under tho most dillicult circumstances, which proved beyond doubt McDaniol's guilt in the degree, at least, of tho ver dict rendered. Tho caso was shrouded in mystery from tho first. Although the crime of taking the poor girl's life may not have been premeditated, it was suflieiently piovod, both to tho jury and tho com munity, that her lifo was destroyed by Frank F. McD.miol. It was not shown to bo iKisslblo that any other person could have committed tho aw ful deed. Hard as the defense strug gled to intensify tho mystery, it suc ceeded only in showing that its only salvation lay in defeating the cause of justice, and tho jury evidently took that view of tho matter. Ilowovor, tho state was not confused in its presentation of tlio matter; and, in a summary of the caso, both at torneys for tho state acquitted them selves most ciodituhly. Lawyer St. Ituyuur should be given credit for n masterly defense of a crim inal of a low order of human beings a moan, contemptible, characterless skulk who sought to destrov the virtue of girls and then laugh in derision at their folly for submitting to his pas sionate pica for pleastuo. The defense will move for a new trial; but it is tho general opinion, so far as The Now Ago knows, that Me Daniel's attorney should bo satislied with saving tho disreputable scoun drel's nook from being biokeu, as it should have been, on tho hangman's scaffold. TIIK COUNTY ASSFSS015- THK SHF.UIFF'.S Ol-TIOK. So many men htno been named as possible candidates for the nomination for the sheriffalty of .Multnomah county as to prompt the friends of some of tho aspirants to make cateful inquiry into (ho manner in which that ory itn H)itaut olllce has been conducted for some time. As a consequence of this investigation, let it Ih said totheciedit of Shot ill Fra.lor and his constituency, thoio inn fewer "possible candidates" today than there were a fortnight ago. Mr. Fra.lor and his oscellent staff of deputies hao made a splendid nvoul in the conduct of the shcritl's otllco. Their methods hao Won especially economical and, although an immeiiMi amount of business has been transacted during the past two or thiee years, en- Hiliug in some cases o. train dinar ex- that Mr. Watkins is competent to dis pense, the general coht of maintaining, charge its responsible duties most tic tho several departments of the olllce is ceptably to iho taxwpayors. It is probably not tiuo that the Re publican county slate has been com pleted for piosoututioti to the conven tion in two or three mouths, but it is quite certain that a part of it has been 1'iNod in the public mind. Among those who am being urged as a proper poison for a prominent place on the county Republican ticket is Mr. Georgo K, Watkins for assessor. Mr. Watkins has for many years been a conspicuous figure In the busi ness, social and political lifo of Port land and Multnomah county, lie is now member of the ical estate linn of Parish iV Watkins, most prominent among tho realty dealeis of the state. Ills reputation as a careful business man in tho management of affairs for itluiclf and his large cllentelage fully wauants the claim for him as a pioper candidate for the assessoihlp. No one knows better than Georgo F. Watkins the alues of properties in this county and it is the general opin ion that no one better than Mr. Wat kins can perform the duties of assessor of alueson those properties. Hence, Mr. Watkins is being uiged as a most available candidate for that imiHwtaut olllce. The New Age knows that the otllco rionioliT", liiM'HlorH unit IIi'oIutm for Oi'i'KiMi Mint'" anil Stock. The best evidence that Oregon is des tined to become a great mining statu is shown by the character of tho men who aro engaged in developing and promot ing enterprises of this kind. A recent addition to that branch of business in Portland is tho firm of Dawson, Mc Dowell & Company. Tho individual members of this company aro well and favorably known to tho mining world and their names aro a guarantee that nothing but legitimate mining proposi tions will bo presented to investors. They havo a largo list of most oxcol lent stocks and developed and undevel oped mines for sale. Call or write them for pointers on tho great and promising mining camp of Stimpter. A Hot Old Tlnm" at Corririiyx. Tho attraction at Cordray's theater for Christinas week, beginning Sunday, December 21, will ho that record breaking success in the farce-comedy Held, "A Hot Old Time," which is this season more than duplicating its hit of hist year, when it won recogni tion as tho most prosperous organiza tion of its kind on the road. The success of the attraction is easily explained. Not only has it a consistent plot, a fund of humor that is irioslstibly contagious and a liveli ness of action that, while escaping actual violence, is both constant and comic, but it is entirely free from that element of vulgarity and huggestiveness that has handicapped so many produc tions. Nearly all of tho music intro duced in tho pleco was written espe cially for it, and it was in this pro dilution that tho popular "coon" song, "1 Guess I'll Havo to Toliyjwph My lfaby," was llrst hoard. AVavi'iiy SiiKiir I'notory. Tho now sugar factory at Waverly, SiKikano county, Washington, began operations December tl. This, is tho first beet sugar factory to bo built in this state, and tho second in the Pacific Northwest. Tho fanners in tho vicinity of tho factory raised about 100 acres of beets this year, tho yield being l to 12 tons per aero. D. C. Corbin, of .Sjx) kane, owner of tho factory is paying if! per ton for beets containing VJ to M per cent of sugar and !t:t 1-11 cents per ton additional for each per cent of sugar avovo 1 1. Tho average price for the entire crop is about 'f'l.ftO per ton. Taking the average yield as eight tons, half way between the extremes, this would give a gross return of .filtl per aero. The cost per acre of tho beets delivered at tho factory is in tho ueighlMiihood of $2& to :U). This leaves some profit to the average beet grower, and considerable to thoe whoso beets give yields of 10 or 12 tons per aero. Another year, when the farmers know more of beet culture, and aro in position to give their crops tho attention they need, better rtsults may fairly bo expected. This is tho beginning of an industry which will, if successful, become an important feat mo of Fasteru Washington agrieultuie. It will give the farmers of the Palouso country a profitable crop to grow in rotation with wheat. When the funn el's have learned the value of sugar beet pulp as a stock feed, it will al-o doubtless result in an increase of live stock on tho wheat ranches in the vi cinity of the factory.
