Secret err of State Dunbar, Under Bddy Lstt, Has Had tut One or Two Applications and They Were Ifot Paid For. SALEM. Or.. May 23. (Special.) No ar ticles of Incorporation have been filed In the office of the Secretary of State since the new corporation tax law went Into effect. One or two sets of incorporation papers were forwarded to the Secreary of State, but they were not accompanied by the fee required by the new law, and they were therefore returned.

Many companies were incorporated dur insr the last two weeeks before the new law went into effect, but it -can scarcely be said that there -was an unusual activ ity in that direction in anticipation of the new schedule of fees.

It was recently stated that 4000 canaries unloaded in. crates from the steamship Koenlgin Louise on her arrival in this port "were consigned to the trust," and that nobody now could get a canary, a parrot or various other birds kept as household pets "without applying to the trust for them." It was further said that the trust's headquarters were in Grand street, and that Bernard Ruhe was the president. Mr. Ruhe said that no trust had been formed in his line of business. It was true that there has been some talk In the last year about organizing such a trust, but it had come to nothing. As it was, he and one other were the only importers of birds, for New York, and all the foreign birds shipped to this country were re ceived in this city, except a very few sent from Australia to San Francisco.

CUBANS WOULD DELAY. YOUTHFUL PASTOR FOR TACOMA EVAN GELICAL CHURCH TACOMA. Wash., May 23. (Special.) The Evangelical Church of Tacoma, which has been without a pastor for the past year, will have a new min ister tomorrow. Rev. Evert L. Jones having arrived from Al bany, Or., to take charge of the church, and he will preach his opening sermon Sunday. Al though but 19 years of age, Mr. Jones has filled the pulpit of the Evangelical Church at Albany for the past year, and he has been engaged in ministerial work for the past two years. Mr. Jones won the prohibition oratorical contest and repre sented Albany College In the re cent intercollegiate contest at Dallas. Rev. Evert L. Jones. one of the earliest .problems, and the most embarrassing, vrhlcfe "confronted Mr. Todd when he set out to conquer the swamp and reclaim it from the wastes and make it useful. This was the ques tion as to what was to be ddne with the hundreds, and later thousands, of tons of mint -hay after the oil had .been extracted from it He determined upon an experi ment He purchased 19GS acres of farm land in the northern part of Michigan, and put out to a pasture a herd of 500 Shorthorn cattle. In the Fall, the herd was brought south and housed for the Winter in the big barn. The . experiment proved successful, as the peppermint plants are excellent fodder when dried. Besides there was the ad vantage of giving employment to the workmen in the Winter months. The barn Is built on "unique plans. It is In the Ahape of a. star, there being half a dozen arms radiating from a six sided rotunda in the center. Mint grows from roots similar to hops. and spreads by runners. The. entire ground- is soon covered after the roots are planted, and as soil which Is suitable for mint is also good for weeds, a large crop of these must be tirelessly extract ed. After the season Is well advanced and cultivation is no longer practicable. the weeding Is done by hand, and the amount of labor required is very large. At harvest time the mint is combed and carded In one direction by means of powerful two-horse rake. It Is full of snags and crinkles, like a head of tousled hair. Mowers are .then run in the oppo site direction and. the plants cut The best yield. In quality, comes from the first year's crop, as the oil is made from the leaves and the tender ends of the stems, but the second and. third year's crops are said to be the most profitable, they do not need replanting, not so much weeding. Each Fall the ground Is plowed six Inches deep, . and the crop comes without resetting. IF "YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT SMARTLY DRESSED MEN WILL WEAR THIS SEASON ASH. BEN SELLING ABOUT IT. shipment of 4000 canaries at one time was common consignment in the season. which extended from the middle of Sep tember to about the first of AprlL He received about 4000 every week in that period, and the other importer about as mary. Altogether each of them Imported about 150,000 canaries a year, which were sold to the retail dealers In this city and all over the United States. All these canaries, It was said, are ob tained from Germany, where the business! of breeding them is now scattered all over the empire, although It was formerly confined to the Harz Mountains. Many people there make It their entire business, while others, engaged in other vocations, made the raising of canaries a sort of side show,'' from which they derive enough money to pay their rent The best singing birds are still procured from tne Harz Mountains, where the breedlncr of canaries was begun as early as the 16th century and has been carried on ever since. In Germany canaries are bred onlv for song, while in England some are bred for size and color. Some birds are bred In this country, but they show a tendency to "hark back" from the yellow plumage to the mottled green coats of the wild birds in the Canary Islands, and they are not as good singers as the German. The re tail price here for a good young bird from Germany is about $2.50. but rnices run un as high as $25 apiece for trained singers. Xhe latter are educated by being nut When young in the company .of other fine singing birds, such as the nightingale, many of whose notes they learn to Imitate. The demand from all parts of the world for the German canaries, Mr. Ruhe said. is so great that this country can't get enough of them. The average purchaser of a canary, he added, does not keep it alive more than six months, as he (or she) will persist tn hanging its cage near a window. Although hardy In other re spects, the birds cannot stand draughts, and when kept by a window they are very liable to take cold and dle.- Next to the canaries, the largest bird importations are those of parrots. The greater number of these are the Cuban birds, which have a white head and red breast They are good talkers. Agents of the importers make contracts with country people in Cuba, who get the par rots out of their nests In the. forests when they are very young and therefore easily tamed. About 15,000 of these birds are Imported to New Tork annually, and are cold, untrained, for $4 to $5 apiece. Next to these in number are the Mexican par rots, of which there are several varieties. Most of the 4000 or 5000 a year which are brought here are of the kinds known as the double yellowhead, and the redhead. The former are the best talkers, and as young birds sell for $15 to $20 apiece, while the redheads fetch the same price as the Cuban parrots. The finest talkers are the gray African parrots, but although they are in good aemnno, it is said that only 100 are sold cepted an invitation to attend a recep tion given to the senior class and students at the State Normal School, where he made an address to the students.

A joint political meeting will be held at Clackamas Tuesday evening that will be addressed by Hon. A. E. Reames, the Democratic Congressional candidate, while Judge G. E. Hayes and George L. Story, both of this city, will speak In the in terest of Mr. Hermann. Judge T. F. Ryan, of this city, will preside at the meeting. It will not be a Joint discussion in any sense. The Republicans, having already had an appointment at Clackamas for the night have consented, at the request of the Democratic County Central Commit tee, to allow Mr. Reames the privilege of speaking for an hour before the Repub llcan speakers address the meeting. Hon. T. T. Geer arrived in the city this morning. He was Joined here by C, B. Moores and Sheriff J. R.

Vawter Intro duced the speaker of the evening, Wal ter L. Tooze, of Woodburn, who made an eloquent and logical address. Mr. Tooze's speech was in the way of an answer to Reames' plea for Republican votes on account of his innocuous De mocracy and his relationship to Congress man Tongue, and his audience was in en tire sympathy with him. A special train was run from Jacksonville and the Med ford Public School Band furnished music for the occasion. Reames' majority In this county will be much smaller than he figured.

The Associated Press correspondent saw a number of Senators with reference to the prospects of the ratification of both the perma nent and naval stations treaties during this session 'of Congress, but they were not inclined to be communicative. It re mains evident that there is an Inclination to allow the treaties to go over this ses sion. It ts believed that an urgent mes sage from President Palma, which will accompany the sending of the treaty to the Senate, will have a strong Influence in the direction of ratification. Senator Sangullly. the most active opponent of the treaties with the United States, said he would have .to oppose the permanent treaty because under It the United States, being the stronger power, could Itself decide when Intervention was desirable, regardless of the wishes of Cuba. Sena tors say that the paragraph relating to the Isle of Pines should have been elim inated,.

This demand, it Is said. Is largely stimulated by children, most of whom are very fond of birds as household pets. Prominent Student Goes to Prison. DES MOINES, la.. May 23.

Congressman Todd, Is about two miles wide, and Is as fiat as a duck pond. There are no fences around it but the ditches are laid with mathemat ical precision. At the exact center of the farm are the buildings, from which the whole Is operated and in which live as many people as are found in many vil lages. As the visitor draws near the farm he sees stretching before him what appears to bo a lake of green, crinkly waves. which at nightfall is covered with thick vapor. He becomes conscious of smarting in the eyes and a tingling sens atlon in the nose. Memories of the big peppermint drops and sticks of striped candy of childhood pass through his mind. He is. In fact entering the largest mint field in the .world, where Is raised most of the peppermint that Is used in the manufacture of oil for flavoring .confec tions In the United States. Campania Farm is a busy place. The workmen all live on the grounds. It is conducted on model plans. A large boarding-house accommodates 100 men. and Congressman Todd has his Summer house near by. There are Icehouses, farm buildings, warehouses, and a 11 brary and a clubroom for the workmen. There is a barn which is said to be the largest In the worlds This barn solved TO BEAT ROOSEVELT. An Interesting Editorial From a Wall-Street Organ. Wall Street Journal. There are many signs pointing tothe fact that the Presidential campaign of 1904 has already been started, so far as the large financial Interests are concerned. Some time ago we directed attention to the fact that what are known as the large financial interests, in Wall street are bitterly opposed to President Roose velt's continuation in office, and arc de termined to defeat him. if possible. In the convention, and If not in the. con- ention, at the polls. As time goes on this becomes even more plain. Of late, moreover. It is becoming clear that the official Wall-street candidate has already been selected on the Democratic side, with whom It is, no doubt hoped to beat Mr. Roosevelt should he be nominated. We find the columns of our brilliant contemporary, the Sun, full of information on this whole matter. It has taken the lead In opposition to the President and within the nast two or three weeks has been at much pains to Inform the country of the solid merits of. Judge Alton B. Parker as the strongest Democrat now before the public According to the Her ald, some wagers have already been made respecting Judge Parker's candidacy and Its probable results. It is. probably fair to say that Judge Parker is the man with whom Wall street hopes to beat Mr. Roosevelt provided that 6ne of Mr. Roosevelt's own party does not beat him in the convention. "Anything to beat Roosevelt" is clearly the motto of the powerful financial Interests in the street, so far as 1901 is concerned. What Is the fault that Wall street finds with President Roosevelt? Different answers would no doubt be given to this question by different people. Some would eay that the President was dangerous be cause he was impulsive and erratic; some affect to consider him a demagogue be cause, of his attitude on "the trust ques tion and on the coal strike; all would agree in saying that he was not to be controlled by anybody. It seems to us that this last Is the crux of the waole matter. No particular fault was found with the President previous to his inter vention In the Northern Securities case a year ago. His action in that matter opened the eyes of the financial powers, and did It in the rudest possible fashion. They had neither been consulted nor warned beforehand. The blow fell sud denly. Then came the coal strike, and Mr. Roosevelt's Intervention as represent Ing the public A second time they felt the force of his hand. The situation is undeniably Interesting. President Roosevelt has In his administra tion up to date been supported by the general mass of public opinion in this country. No one In his party is strong enough to stand against him as his equal In the public eye. He has two qualities of a kind that always excite public en thusiasm, namely, absolute honesty and absolute Independence. The very fact that his Independence has earned for him the Whole-Eoulcd hostility of Wall street- Is not at all unlikely to prove a great ele ment of strength to him in the coming campaign. It Is for this reason that we regard the attitude of Wall street as very unwise at this juncture. How Is Mr. Roosevelt to be beaten? It seems to us that he can be beaten In the convention only by wholesale treachery on the part of his party. To say that he Is much the strongest candidate that the Republican party could possibly put up Is to state a fact admitted by every one. It is possible that another candidate might Better please wan street, dul it wouia only be because he would forfeit the bud port of the people at large. How Is Mr. Roosevelt If nominated, to be beaten at the polls? He can only be beaten by the election of a candidate standing for prin ciples such a3 those embodied In the "yellow" Journalism. A concentration of the forces of socialism, demagoguery and "high finance" would be necessary for this purpose, and even then It might not be successful; and if it were sucessfui, would the "high finance feel quite com fortable In its new surroundings? It is impossible not tor feel some sym pathy with the "high finance" In it3 pres ent position. It has been- accustomed for some time to have things more or less to Its llklntr. and It la not accustomed to dealing as a minority interest, so to speak, and where It does not control, .rresiaent Roosevelt's independence In matters af- fectlnir financial interests has been great surprise, and. of course, a bitter disappointment This, however, while it may be a bad thing for the country, is not necessarily so. Jt is not universally admitted that Wall street Is the only safe or proper guardian of the Interests of the country. We think that In many respects Wall street's judgment on matters of general public interesL4s-pt to bo wise and sound economically. -ana unanciauy. Wall street however, enjoys no preroga tivo. of infallibility so far as the country is concerned, even in matters of financial faith or economic morals, au mat can bp said about it Is that It is the most highly organized and probably the most intellectually efficient portion of the pub lic In these matters. It seems to us that as we have already said. Wall street is between what it con aiders "the devil and the deep sea." Ii seeking, however, to compass at any cost the defeat of President .Kooseveit, -we Be lieve it is more than likely to find that it has made a mistake and that its last state will be worse than the first It would be very poor policy to unchain the forces nf socialism merely to get rid of the present Executive because he could not be controlled. Wall street should remem ber that of all sections or tee body pou tic none Is more dependent upon the law than Itself. Mr. Roosevelt nas ever stooa for rigid execution, of the law without fear or favor. Wall street may want to break the law at times, and it is.no doubt lrK some not to "be allowed to do so.
