CORVALLIS.
There is a calm after a storm,
and experience teaches us that
there is a hush after a boom. In
parts of California there are many
people who wish the country had
been struck by a bomb instead of
a boom. They are the ones, of
eourse, who are left with the high
priced property with no purchas
ers. The same may be said of the
Sound and other portions of Wash
ington. They are the people who
are loudest in their declamation of
hard times. Booms in general are
not desirable, although very many
wish to see them and take their
chances of getting away from them
before the explosion comes.
In Oregon we have had no reg
ular boom, but exchange in city
and suburban property in this
state became quite rapid and the
speculative instinct of our people
ran pretty high two years ago,
whereas, now, sales are compara
tively slow. Few persons, however,
paid more for property than the
growth ot the country will shortly
make good. It is noticeable that
towns in which property ranged
highest are the ones from which
eoraplaints are now most heard,
Tvhere public and private enterprise
is most unfavorably affected. Dur
ing the time when the speculative
spirit was at its height in this state
Corvallis, while it was growing
steadily, was thought to be scarce
ly in the march of improvement.
The conservative course proved the
better one for the whole people, as
Clorvallis is steadily growingand the
majority of our citizens are quite
well satisfied with the present con
dition of affairs here. There have
been temptations to boom Corval
lis to some extent but the people
of this locality have confined their
extorts to such improvements as
were demanded by the develop
ment of the country. During the
past three years the public and
private improvements of this city
are, on the whole, very creditable
to the enterprise of her citizens,
and our progress is not now re
tarded. This city is moving along
at the same rate at which it was
proceeding during what is known
as the better times throughout the
state. New public and private
buildings and manufactories are
going up in different parts of the
city and it is necessary to employ
carpenters and other tradesmen
from neighboring towns. There
is much to lead to the assurance
that of the Oregon towns, Corval
lis will, in the near future, become
a city ' second in importance only
to Portland.
Our foreign trade still continues
to increase with the balance of
trade in our favor, and yet the
Free-Traders tell us that "if we
don't buy we can't sell,"' and that
the McKinley bill will shut out all
foreign trade. Read a Free-Trade
statement and then believe the op
posite always.
Twenty-five years ago the idea
of producing silks in this country
was laughed at; to-day we are one
of the largnst manufacturers of
silk goods in the world, and the
prices are about one-half what
they were and the goods them
selves much better.
The failures of the year 1857,
after 10 years of Free Trade, ex
ceeded those of 1890, after 30
years of protection, by $2,000,000,
although the amount of capital in
vested ... then was not more than
one-third what it is now.

PORTLAND AND COAST HARBORS".
Portland, with proper enterprise,
ought to be able to take care of
itself. It is the extreme of a nar
row, selfish, and in the end an in
jurious policy, for Portland to op
pose needed and important im
provement in other localities, for
fear of losing, a little trade.
Portland, in conjunction with
the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany, pursued that policy for years
with reference to the Inland Em
pire. But the Northern Pacific
and the Hunt lines were built, and
its negative, selfish, penny-wise
and pound-foolish policy is illus
trated in our loss of the wheat and
flour of the upper country. That
we will largely regain by an open
river, but no other way.
There may be now, from similar
motives and in in pursuance of the
same sort of policy, a disposition
to rejoice in the evident efforts to
injure ana suppress laquinaana
Siuslaw as Pacific coast harbors,
for fear a little of the Upper Wil-
amette valley trade may be di
verted from Portland to those
points. This course would not
only be selfishly wrong, but in the
end futile, and dangerous to Port
land. This city ought to give at
least moral support and encourage
ment to every such place, to all
parts of Oregon. In this way we
will gain immensely more than we
will lose. Narrow selfishnes never
paid on earth yet, in the long run.
Let Siuslaw be improved and
made a harbor; let Yaquina be im
proved and made a harbor; let
Coos bay be improved and made a
harbor; let railroads be built to all
of them, if there is enterprise and
capacity to build them. By these
means Portland may indeed lose
a little of the trade that is now
forced to come here; but the up
building, the development, the
growth of the country will be such
that we are sure to gain infinitely
more than we lose.
We have no sympathy with the
narrow, selfish spirit that tries to
grow and prosper by keeping other
places and people down. Tele-
A franchise has been granted
by Kansas City to a company to
build works and lay mains in the
streets to supply fresh air to the
inhabitants. In warm weather
cold air will be supplied; in cold
weather, hot air. That is they pro
pose to keep the houses of their
patrons as nearly at one tempera
ture as possible, winter and sum
mer. Apparatus for such a pur
pose will without doubt be gener
ally adopted in a short time.
While the climate in this state
does not render its usefulness so
apparent as in other states, our
politicians will not be slow in
adopting any improved methods
for "blowing hot or cold."
Oregon farmers now generally
concede, having investigated the
matter thoroughly, that no branch
of soil tillage pays so well and so
regularly as the cultivation of
fruits. The boundaries of this
state embrace a grand fruit coun
try, which in time will become fa
mous for its excellent horticultural
preducts in immense quantities.
Through this agency Oregon farm
ers may easily pay off their mort-
iges" and henceforth laugh at
usurists. Sunday Mercury.
Our population is 5 per cent, .or
one-twentieth the population of
the globe. We consume 33 per
cent, or one-third of all produced.
Why should we give up this mar
ket to foreigners? Why should
we not manufacture for ourselves?
The gates of all our ports still
open inward, and with proper dis
crimination against undesirable
immigration our home market will
grow larger every year. We are a
uation of high wages and large
consumers, and a protective tariff
will keep up such.

PENSIONS AND PATRIOTISM.
In brief, but not the less effec
tive article in the North American
Review, the Hon. Green B. Raum,
United estates Commissioner of
Pensions, shows in a clear and un
mistakeable way how closely pen
sions and patriotism are united.
The clamor against what is called
the excessive amounts paid out in
pensions, is answered conclusively
by pointing out that the tax upon
the country to support the veter
ans is a trifle when compared with
that which was borne to pay off
those who loaned money to the
Government during the war. The
bond-holders have received in in
terest and premiums since July
1st, 1861, $2,600,179,000 and the
pensioners nave received only
$1,284,717,000. Moreover when
the war closed and the people were
confronted with the task ot pay
ing the bond-holders, the public
debt amounted to one-tenth of the
wealth of the country. It now
amounts to only one-fiftieth. In
1865, the annual charge for inter
est on bonds and pensions was
$4.57 per capita, and now it is only
$2.44 per capita. Surely then it
would seem that if the men of
1865 had the patriotism to carry
such an interest charge with so
great a debt without murmuring,
we ought now with our increased
population and diminished debt,
to be able to carry the much
lighter burden which the care of
the defenders of the Union im
poses upon us. Above the money
consideration, however, will be the
appeal to the patriotism of the
people to stand loyally by those
men who have preserved the Union
to be a blessing not only for the
men of this generation, but for
those who are to come after us for
all time. Any intelligent man
who will consider the long marches
by day and the shelterless beds by
night of those who through the
heats of summer and the severities
ot winter carried the flag of the
Union, must know that the men
who endured these things could
not have come out of the service
with unimpaired vitality, and that
therefore in the weakness or disa
bility of the old age that is now
coining upon them, they deserve
every care which the great and
rich Republic can give them. A
pension is no charity. It is the
just reward of honorable service.
It was won by patriotism to con
fer it.

BAD ECZEMA ON BABY
Head one Solid Sore. Itching; Awful.
Had to Tie His Hands to Cradle.
Cured by Cnticnaa.
Our little boy broke oat on his head with a bad
form of eczema, when he was four months old. We
tried three doctors, but they did not help him We
then used your three Curici'BA Remkdibs, and after
using thein e"ven weeks exactly accoraing to airec-
v.odh, ne uejcau w abeauiiy
improve, and after the use
of them for seven months
his head was entirely well.
When we began using it
his head was a solid sore
from the crown to the eye
brows. It was also all over
his cars, most of his face,
and small places on differ
ent parts of bis body.
There were sixteen weeks
that we had to keep his
hands tied to the ciadle and
hold them whei. he was ta
ken h i; and had to keep mittens tied ou his hands to
keep his finger nails out of the sores, as he would
scratch if he could in any way ret his hands loose.
We know your Cuticura Rbmediss cured him. We
feel safe in recommending them to others.
