BtfTfTTTt t -i The Fourth of July 1b here again "with all of Its racket, parades, fireworks ana general hilarity. The features of the day will be the boat races at 9:30, the grand military and floral parade at 2, the liter ary exercises at the Slarquam, and the yacht races at the Madison-street bridge at 3:30, and the grand display of fireworks this evening on the Seventh-street Ter races at o'clock. It Is true that the weather has been somewhat antagonistic during the last few days, but no rain will dampen the ar dor of the true Oregonlan. Everything on the programme will oome off as sched uled, although the concert that was to have been given last night at S o'clock at the reviewing stand on "West Park street has been postponed on account or the Inclement weather until Saturday evening at 8:30 o'clock. The late hour was necessitated by the fact that on the last day of the "Reek many clerks and other persons employed down town have to work later than on other days. It was not until late In the day that the com mittee In charge made this change, and a number of people who had not heard ot the postponement were on hand last night at the stand, but they were disappointed, and had to go home without any music The committee says that no more post ponements will be made, and things will have to come off w.hen they are due, rain as It may. For the past 36 hours crowds of out-or-town visitors have been pouring into the city, so that the streets present a most active and hustling appearance to those whose business compels them to walk abroad. Indications are that this will be the most successful celebration that the city has ever had, as far as visitors go, and In every other way, for that matter. The only unpleasant feature Is the weath er, over which the committee has no con trol and the lack of outdoor decorations, which, the business men can easily remedy. If they only see it that way. Last even ing the decorated and illuminated stores and buildings were in the small minority, The Oregonlan building being in fact the only one on which, an incandescent globe was visible. It Is hoped that the people of the city will not permit it to be placed to their everlasting discredit that they did not decorate on the birthday of their coun try, when every other city and town in the land is resplendent with the National colors. When the Chinese, 6000 miles from their home, spend a week at celebrating their new year, and no end of cash for decorative purposes, Americans, so the committeemen should say, ought at least to get some red, white and blue bunting and some flags and fling them forth to the breeze. Just to show that all pride in their country has not left them. The parade will be similar to parades of the past, except that it will be about three times as good to look at, as any body can see by casting their eyes over the detailed list of events. Everything in town that is worth seeing will be there, and all one has to do is to sit still and watch it go past, and then be convinced that the people who got It up did all they could for his pleasure and amusement, on thU? the gala day of the year. The lit erary exercises at the Marquam at 3 in the afternoon will be well worth listen ing to. There will be abundance of good music, and C E. S. "Wood will deliver the oration of the day, from the platform that the ladles of the city have so beauti fully decorated with all the roses that Portland could contribute. The fireworks Bill be grand, as the list will show, and the fact that the police will allow no one on the hillside a most dangerous place at such a time will but add to the pleasure of the occasion.

From time to time, in leading publica tions of Europe and America, the public has been favored with statements of the tremendous work which the English are accomplishing in Egypt in the way ot the regeneration of the country by irrigation. The River Nile, as everjbody knows. Is the life of Egjpt, and it is upon the Nile that the great engineering -works planned and executed by our British cous ins are located. By means of a dam at Assouan and a barrage at Asslout they propose to store upthe Nile waters in time of flood for use In time of drouth. The engineering works to accomplish this are described as tremendous, and there Is no doubt that they have been prosecut ed In the fice of great difficulties. The achievement, now approaching practical completion, and the spirit in which It -was conceived and executed, are altogether admirable. It will confer the blessing of fertility upon a large region of country, heretofore desert, and prosperity upon thousands of people now sunk In pov erty. But when we come to compare the irri gation work In Egypt, great as It is, with what It is proposed to undertake in the same line in the United States, under the bills Just passed by Congress, the former seems small when measured by possible results. The total cost of the works at, Assouan and Asslout Is $16,000,000. The area of land reclaimed In Upper Egypt is estimated at 52,03) acres, with 660,000 acres conierted from "the basin to peren nial Irrigation. In Lower Egjpt there will be 120,000 acres reclaimed and 120,000 converted. The resulting annual benefit In money, is estimated at ?10.000,000. No estimate has yet been made of the cost of the irrigation, works contemplated In the United States nnder the new act, and no estimate of resulting benefits. The only comparison, therefore, that can be made at present is in reference to the relative areas of land to be reclaimed. Arid and semi-arid America comprises 600,000,000 acres, of vhicli 00,000,050 acres are capable of being reclaimed and made Into arahle land that will support a dense population. It is well known that some of the arid land In our Western states already reclaimed by irrigation is equal in fertility to the bet land of Egypt: Perhaps all of the 60,000,003 acres 's not of as good quality, but there is 'on t" believe tbnt most of it is. How, then, does the comparison stand? Sixty million acres In the United States against, we will say givlnc liberal meas ureone million acres of land In Egypt. "We have no design to belittle the British Egyptian enterprise, but it will at once . h. - i. - v . ' ' ' z2 x j " ' . - it - vr v v v' '3 ' - " " -" fj, - e - - r -4 j H I l. ' -.:- h: FOURTH OF JULY! be" seen that as compared with the pro posed American enterprise- it sinks Into Insignificance, Verily this is a country of magnitudes. In the light of the above comparison the possibilities of American irrigation fairly stagger the imagination. . Democratic View of Harmony. Louisville Post (Dem.) Mr. "Watterson's refusal to harmonize with Mr. Cleveland might be a good omen If there were no other refusal, but the truth of the matter Is there Is no dispo sition among the Democrats to get to gether in any practical way. As Senator Lindsay has said, before they can get to gether they must think together, and they do not think together on any proposition. The Eastern Democrats are as far from the Southern Democrats -as one can Im agine; and Mr. Daid B. Hill cannot bring them together. A trickster and a time server, ready to compromise every Issue, he may think it an easy task to bring to gether men of convictions and of distinct purpones; but when he undertakes the work he finds that neither side has any faith in him or his purposes. Moreover, Mr. Bryan Js opposed to any harmony movement headed either by Mr. Cleveland or Mr. HIU. and his opposition is fatal to success. Mr. Cleveland stands for the Democracy of Jefferson, Jackson and Til den, but he is nearer In harmony with the public policies of McKlnley and Roosevelt than he is with the Democratic programme in Congress, or with any pos sible platform of the Democratic prty in lSOL Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Hill may shake hands at a banquet, bu.t they rep resent nothing in common. The Bryan Democrats will not accept the leadership of either one of these gentlemen. Mr. Cleveland will find It an easier task to organize a new policy than to reorganize a party that sees no necessity of reorgani zation. The Ohio Officeholder. 9 Dallas News. There is a complaint made by the For aker element of the Republican party In Ohio that the Federal officeholders In that state hae been perniciously active. The President has promised to Inquire into the matter with a view of correcting it. Now" he "is up against it" sure enough, to use the expression of the street. Any Ohio officeholder would rather give up his office than to fall to go into cam paigns. Xo Argument Agnlnftt Reciprocity. Indianapolis News.

TP ' . & SEA-LEVEL CANAL. This Will Doubtless Be Made Some Day nt Panama. Minneapolis Tribune. Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, in his speech upon his amendment favoring the Panama Canal route, brought out one Im portant point which received scant men tion In the press reports. This is that the Panama waterway, however It Is built now, can be made in the future a sea-level canal, while the Nicaragua Ca nal cannot. Senator Morgan had stated that the canal commission reported the sea-level idea impracticable, but Senator Spooner turned to the commission's re port and showed that while they rejected the sea-level canal for present purposes, they said, on page S3: "If a sea-level canal be constructed the canal Itself must be made of such dimensions- that maxi mum floods, modified to some extent by a reservoir in the upper Chagres, could pass down its channel without injury." Such a canal, the commission goes on to state, would hae to be very large. It would have a bottom width of about 400 feet. The amount of excavation re quired has been computed at something Over 266,00O.COO cubic yards, and the coM., including a dam at Alajuela and a tide lock at Mlrafloes. near the Pacific end, at about $240,000,000. This careful figuring as to details shows that the commission regard a sea-level canal' as physically feasible. It is simply a question of the expenditure of sufficient money. And as Senator Spooner remarks: "Given the practicability of It, in the long years to come, when our population has grown to 300,000.000 and our wealth in proportion, and the commerce of the world Immeas urably Increased, the people of the Unit ed States would not care whether it cost 5200,000,000 or $500,000,000 to turn this canal Into a sea-level canal." The successive enlargements of the St. Mary's canal to accommodate the grow ing lake traffic furnishes a parallel, on a smaller scale, to the development that may be witnessed at Panama. First, there was a state canal, 70 feet wide and 12 feet deep, with two small locks " then a Government canal, with a width of ISO feet and a depth of 15 feet, with a single larger lock and now the present magnificent Government work, 300 feet wide at the bridge, with 30 feet of depth.' and two locks, the largest 1000 feet by 100, with 22 feet of water over the sills. The traffic grew from 106,256 tons and about 300 vessels in 1S5, to 24,626,936 tons and 20,000 essels In 1901, and the cost grew from an original expenditure of $1,000,000 to a total outlay to date of 513,000,000. This mpney has not been wast ed, nor will the money spent for tho successive Improvements of the Panama canal, demanded by thV growth of com merce through It, be wasted. A? 'VvjW l .-" . WOOD FOR WASTE PILE HUNDREDS OF CORDS ARE THROWS' AWAY DAILY- Teamsters' Strike Makes It Impos sible to Deliver, hut It Must "Be Disposed Of. From 300 to 400 cords ot wood are being thrown away dally as a consequence of the strike of the Banfleld-Vejsey team sters, and, the present outlook Is that mat uauy waste must continue tor some time to come. Owing to the disposition of the company not to place more slab wood on the mark under the present con ditions. It must all be dumped into the sloughs or the most convenient places to get It cut of the w ay, and many thousands of cords have already been thrown away and can never be placed on the market, while a surplus accumulated during a simi lar strike last year Is being worked off. A settlement of the troubles between the company and the teamsters seems to be far removed, and at present It seems that until the Banfleld company can get enough nonunion men "to handle the wood, or other arrangements ha e been made for its disposal, the waste will still continue. The sawmills stand with the company, and there seems to be no probability that they will allow any one else to handle the wood. Nearly all of the teamsters in the city belonged to the union before the strike was declared, and these men will not be received back into the employ ot the Banfleld-Vejsey Company unless they dlsavow their union and apply for po sitions as nonunion men. One condition of the settlement seems as improbable as the other, and the outlook for the wood business is very bad. A strike of the same nature, jet not so far-reaching, occurred last ear. After citizens had en dured the hardship of being without wood for a time, while hundreds of cords were belag laid aside dally, a committee of citi zens took the matter in charge and brought about a settlement. The terms agreed to were that the Banfleld-Vejsey Company should receive their men back at the same rate ot pay as previously, provided that the Federated Trades Coun cil remove the boycott from their wood. Mr. Br.nfleld states that he will not een make this concession now, and that he will have no union man In his employ hereafter. "I hae had my last strike," said he yesterday, "for I am done with the unions. I will ncer again have a union man In my employ. The unions have been al lowed to run this city for the past two years, and the result does not need to be commented upon." "Are you able to get nounion men to run our teams?" he was asked. "All cX my teams but two are out," said he: "but they are inconvenienced a great deal by the union pickets. There Is a ring on the endgate of the wagon, which, if loosened, will dump the whole load. They And our men driving up a hill and clip this ring, and they must stop and load up again. In some places I feel the effect of the boycott, but the people who are enforcing this boycott must remember that it Is themselves who will have to pay for It In the long run. AH of this wood that Is being wasted only means that the supply Is lessened, and that the price will have to rise. The mills are suf fering a great loss by this, but they will all make It up off of some other part of their business, and the price of lumbei has already been raised $1 50 per thousand. The public w ill have to meet It." The union people say that the Banfleld Veysey Company Is getting but few men. and that they are none of them good team-" sters, and that the company must be los ing heavily very day. "Our men used to haul from four to six loads every day, ind the men they have now do well to haul tVkO or three," said one of the strik ers. "The people are all standing by us, and the boycott Is having a big Influence upon the number of' sales. The statement made that those enforcing the boycott will haveo stand it is not trUe, for the price of wood is now as high as it can well be. ' The people who are paying for It are nof the people who buy wood, but the people who buy lumber." NAME IS "CAMP WILLIAMS" Oregon National Guard Encampment haxned In Honor of Our Mayor.
