peoplo liuvo enjoyed ttilu prlvllcgo
freely now for 38 years, paying noth
ing therefor to tho city, and It kIioiiIiI
not complain If now tho peoplo require
It to get off that thoroiiglifuro, or at
least pay a good round liberal frau
cIiIho to tho city for tho privilege.
Any other decision by tho courts
would not only ho manifestly liiuqul
tahle, hut would ho n travesty of tlio
loiumoiiest principles of Justlco,
Surely tho peoplo of Portland nnd
of Oregon are not so beholden to Mr.
Ilurrltiiiiti that they should feel In u
humor to hestow valuable glftn upon
him. What has ho over done for this
city or stato that ho was not com
pelled to do In his own Interest? For
iniiuy years ho played tho dog-lu-thc-manger
act, and would neither do
anything to develop tho ImineiiHo In
terior rosourcoB of Oregon nor per
mit any ouo utoo to do so. Ho only he
ciunu native In this direction after
Mr. Hill had dually decided on his
North llaulc road to Portland, and
this Harrlmnn has tried In every pos-
nlblo way to retard, haniBS and if pon
Hlblu stop.
For years thoro has heen a shortago
if freight curs to carry nwny our linn
lier and other products. Mills aro
utopped for wooUb, thoiiBnnds of men
uru thrown out of employment, grain
cannot ho sent to market when tho
farmers wish, only when the railroad
gets ready, and thero hns not heen
for many months moro than one
third tho desired transportation fa
cilities between this city mid Sail
Francisco; hut Mr. Harrlmaii caies
nothing about all this, and docs noth
ing to relieve or Improve tho situation.
Ho can spend tens of millions In buy
ing other railroads and bucking Mr.
Hill, hut nothing for tho benefit of
Portland or of Oregon, except sending
out some pamphlets occasionally.
Wo hopo Mr. Hill will extend his
road southward from Portland nml
that (lottlil will build northward along
tho coast ami that Hammond will
build aeross Oregon to Ontario, and
that thus, through tho energetic and
publle-uplrited action of his rivals,
Oregon will ho developed and Its
products and population will greatly
Increase, la spite of Mr, Hnrrlinaii
nnd his railroads, which ho has used
bo long to "milk" Oregon, b'ut nover
to develop It mid help mako It the
great stato that It ought to be,
, IlltYAN 1FAS NO CHANCES.
No doubt Mr. llrynn will bo tho
next Democratic eandldato for Presi
dent, ami a groat many peoplo aro
counting confidently on his election,
whllo h far larger number think he
lias ijulto a good chanco to win. Wo
admit that Mr, llrynn Is an abler,
moro ilpened, wiser nnd safer ninn
than ho was In 189C or 1900. It would
bo strango If ho wore not. Wo presunio
that ho will bo supported moro gen
erally, unitedly, by tho Democrats of
tho country than ho was In those
years, but this will not elect him, for
this Is u Republican country by u
troiuondous majority, and whllo Mr.
llrynn will run better 4n 190S than ho
illd lu 1S9G or 1900, tho Republicans
'will win. Bryan may very likely win
i
back Missouri, and so mako tho South
solid again, but what Northern fltatc
can ho carry? Possibly Colorado and
Montana, though this Is not likely,
but wo cannot think of nnothcr North
ern state that ho will liavo a "ghost
of a chanco" to carry, no matter
whom tho Republicans nominate.
Roosevelt 1b .out of It, and wo must
tako him at his word, nnd the candi
date mny ho cither Tnft, Root, Fair
banks, Cannon or Dolllver probably
ono of these five and whllo some of
them would recclvo more votes than
others Dollver, for Instance, than
Fairbanks, nnd Taft than Root any
ono of them, or any other Republican
candidate, would carry almost every
Northern stato and ho elected.
Tho Republican party has been
making an exceptionally good record
lately, and tho peoplo know It. It
has some disreputable old barnacles
In congress, llko Plntt and Depew,
but they do llttlo harm.
Tho tariff ought to bo revised some
what, hut as long nB tho peoplo aro
prospcroiiB they do not enro much
about thnt, nnd It would not ho wIbo
to turn tariff revlBlon over to tho Dem
ocrats, who could never agree on any
thing good.
Tho country will go Republican In
1008, iib It did In 1890, 1900 nnd 1901,
and whllo llrynn will run somcwhnt
better than ho did before, thero Is no
reasonable ground for hope or fear
of IiIh election two years hence. Ho
will havo to wait six years hence,
nnd probably a good deal longer.
HEAT SHRIVELS THE GRAIN.
Reports of Dnmngo to Crops In tho
Central Wost.
Bloux City, Iotvn, Aug. 21. Hot
winds tho past two days, following a
week of uuusanl torpidity, tho maxi
mum temperature being daily from
00 to 100, has created fear among
grain men that widespread dnmrtgo to
tho lato grain and corn has been dono.
Today hna been a scorcher, although
thoro aro indications tonight of a
let-up.
From Westorn South Dakota, Wost
orn Nebraska and tho northern continl
part of South Dakota and Southern
Minnesota reports today nro that Into
grains had been ripened so rapidly that
tho berries uru badly shriveled. Tho
greatest harm is expected in cornfields,
which have not in ton years, according
to reports a week ago, promised such
abundant yields. Corn is in tender
tassel, with kernel in the most sensi
tive stage of its life. Whore moisture
has boon sufllclont the ilumago will bo
light, but lu tho vast territory west and
northwest from hero it has been dry for
two or three weeks and when the hot
winds came tho vegetation has been
largely robbed of its power o( resist
ance. Good authority places the de
preciation In tho corn crop as tho result
of tho last week ol tierce heat at from o
to 10 per cent on tho average, with
much greater loss over various exten
sive regions.
PROPERTY LOSS IN MILLIONS.
Death Roll at Valparaiso May Roach
Two Thousand.
Valparaiso, Chile, Aug. 21 At 7:62
o'clock last Thursday oveuing Valpa
raiso experienced an earthquake ol great
severity, and during that night 82
shocks wero felt. Most o( the buildings
of the city are either burned or damag
ed. Tho loss will be enormous, prob
ably reaching $250,000,000. Two
thousand poisons killed is considered
to be a fair estimate of the casualties,
Vena del Mar, three miles from Val
paraiso and having a population of
over 10,000, Qulrlhu, 225 miles to the
southward, with a population of 25,
000; Santa I.imaehe, 15 miles to the
northwest, with a population of 0,500;
Quillota, 26 miles to the northwest,
with a population of 10,000, and vil
lages all around were destroyed, Most
of the damage was due to fire, which
started immediately alter the first
shock,
The whole population Is sleeping in
the hills, the parka or the streets. Food
is very scarce. Milk costs two Chilean
dollars, and it is almost impossible to
obtain meat, even at high prices.
The railways are all destroyed,
Rain, which began to fall immediate
ly after the first shook, stopped an hour
afterward. The nights are very eold
and windy; tho people sleeping in the
open are suffering greatly.
The captain of a steamship which
arrived from Sail Franolrco says the sit
uation here 1b worse than that follow
ing tho disaster at San Francisco.
Storms In Pennsylvania.
Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 21. Reports
received here from points in Allegheny
and neighboring counties indicate that
great damage has been done by a storm
that passed over Western Pennsylvania
lite this afternoon and tonight. Tele
graph and telephone communication
was interrupted at many points, and it
has been impossible to obtain full ac
counts. Railroads Buffered from wash
outs and many delays resulted. Pait
ol Sutervillo is said to be under water,
which at some places is 15 feet deep,
No Uvea are reported to have been lost,
THE LATE LADY CURZON.
American Girl Who Wiu the First
I.adr of Iiulln.
The death recently nt her beautiful
homo In England of Lady Curzon, of
Kedleston, brought grief to three na
tions. England, whero she had en
deared herself by her charming simplic
ity and womanly sweetness, and India,
where for so many years she reigned as
tho wlfo of tho viceroy, unite with tho
United States In mourning tho domino
of an American girl whose elevation to
British aristocratic and olllclal circles
had not caused her to forget the repub
lic In which sho was born and for
which sho retained tho deepest affec
tion. Lady Curzon's health failed while In
Indln, but It was supposed that her re
turn to England would stwedlly restore
her strength and activity. Tho ex
tronio heat, however, Increnoed the gen
eral debility from which she suffered
mid death resulted from heart fail
ure. Mary Victoria Loiter was born In
Chicago, daughter of Levi 7.. Loiter, n
mllllonnlro business man. Some years
ago tho family moved to Washington
lAUr CU117.0.V.
and resided In a magnificent home, en
tertaining largely nnd with a lavish
ness such as only great wealth per
mits. Whllo on a visit to Knglnnd Miss
Loiter met Lord Georgo Nathaniel Cur
7.on, slnco mado Huron ICedloston, nnd
his lordship followed her to Washing
ton. Tho wedding took plnco lu April,
180."5, ono of tho guests being Mrs.Clovo
Innd, of whom tho brldo was n close
personal friend.
Tho beautiful American girl was wel
comed to tho most exclusive Inner cir
cles of English society and at once ret
herself tho task of mastering British
politics lu order to bo nil aid to her
able and ambitious husband. In 1808
Lord Curzon was made viceroy of In
dia, retaining tho ottlco until August
10 of Inst year. Ills micccss nnd popu
larity as viceroy was largely attributed
to tho good Judgment, grnclousness nnd
womanly worth of his American wlfo.
Her court at Bombny, Calcutta, nnd
Hlmln was among tho most magnificent
In tho world and tho Indian potentates
accepted hor social sway as they would
that of tho Empress of the empire. It
li no exaggeration to say that no En
glish-speaking womnn ever equaled her
In tho Influence sho wielded lu India or
In tho affection which tho millions of
that continental peninsula showered
upon her.
At ono time there was talk that Lord
Curzon would bo inndo governor gen
eral of Canada, In which case an Amor
lean girl would havo been the lady of
Rtdenu Hall.
Lady Curzon wns loft $3,000,000 In
her own right on tho death ot her fath
er. An equally liberal provision wns
made for her sister, tho Countess of
Suffolk and Berkshire. She lenvos threo
children, tho youngest hut a few months
old.

MIm Mny Sutton, tho tenuis chain
plon, wns talking ono day In Boston
about nn enrly defeat.
"I had heen so suro of winning,"
sho said, "and that mado my disap
pointment all tho greater when I
failed."
"I wns as disappointed," she said,
"as n huckster who lined to live lu Los
Angeles.
'This huckster, coming out of a
patron's house one day, saw a llttlo
boy feeding apples to his horse. Pleased
to see tho animal getting an excellent
meal at no cost to himself, the man
patted tho hoy on tho head and said:
"That's right; always he good to
animals. And whero did you buy those
pretty apples?"
"'I didn't buy them,' the boy an
swered. 'I took them out of your wag
