Eme, Hillsluro, O.e TIME TABLE It waa predicted that the price of ail commodities) would drop in this country, after the financial depres sion, but thua far the only notice able drop in prices;, haa been that of labor. Butter, flour, and the staple commodities are at the same old figures, and butter persist in going higher than ever. The work ingmao, whils his wages have been cut down, pays just as much as he formerly did for the necessities of life. It is held by many business men. however, that there will be a drop in the price of many kinds of goods, but ss yet there is no toiler ence. The big fleet is on ita way to this coast Its mission is said to be a peaceful one, but that all depends unon whether Japan is spoiling for trouble. It is a good thing for this coast, in many ways to have the fleet on this side of the country. Commercially, it will do us good. The East has been getting all the big contracts for supplies for years, and now the coast cities will bene fit bv the presence of so large a fleet Again, the coast feels safer with the big sea batteries on our coast border.

WANN Hillsboro Oregon Judge McBride, in calling a anedal session of the Circuit S7 Court for this county on January 2. has relieved the glut of legal business here, and prevented the necessity for furthsr delay. There was a large docket here, and there is much rejoicing among those most interested, that ths Judge decided to hold a special term. Not a single run on banks in this state has been reported since the holiday lid came off, and not a country bank has failed within the state. This is creditable to the conservative banking methods and honesty of the country bank ers, as well as complimentary to the good sense and forbearance of depositors in those banks. Mr. Heney came up to PortUnd lait week, but refused to say when the land fraud cases would be tried. After putting the Portland newspa per men on edge, with great expec tations, he quietly departed for Washington: In the meantime, Mr. Bristol has resumed his atti tude of masterly inactivity. Rnnators Fulton and Bourne fared well on the Senate commit tees. Bourne is chairman of the committee on Fisheries. This is direct apprecistion of the Columbia river salmon, which the Senator presented to members of the upper bouse of Congress, last fall. The Blood Is The lite.'
