CORVALLIS, OKKGOX, JULY 25. 1S05.
A FAITHFUL SERVANT.
The greatest republican in
Oregon today is Senator John
H. Mitchell. ' There is no leader
of the party in the state who is
in closer contact with the people,
or has their confidence to as great
a degree. This admiration for
the senator is not inspired alone by
his genial personality, but ty the
quality of his statesmanship, and
the acknowledged services he has
tendered the state. Mr. Mitch
ell has represented Oregon in the
national senate for sixteen years,
and his long residence at Wash
ington has not weaned him away
from the affections of his people.
He has not imbibed aristocratic
notions, nor assumed the airs of
the so-called higher classes,
When a plain Oregonian desires
any Information or wishes other
accommodation at the hands of
our national representative he
always writes to Senator Mitch
ell. He knows that ihis request
will receive kindly consideration
and any matter he leaves in Mr.
Mitchell's hands will have the
closest attention. Senator Mitch
ell is a worker an able and en
thusiastic worker for the interests
of his state.
Senator Mitchell has made for
himself a national reputation
xie is one oi ine leauiug men in
the senate, and, probably, of all
the western senators.-he is the
greatest His long service has
rendered him perfectly familiar
with men, means and measures,
and he is in a position to do great
things for Oregon, and he is con
stantly improving his opportuni
ties. His address before the sen
ate upon the constitutionality of
the Nicaraguau canal bill was
admirable. It was, perhaps, the
most able, learned and sound
speech delivered concerning that
important measure, and was eulo
gized by the press of nation.
Other speeches on the leading
measures before the senate have
received wide-spread attention,
and Oregon is honored through
the honor bestowed upon and
deserved by our senior senator.
Mr. Mitchell is a sound and
consistent republican, though not
a rabid or dogmatic partizan.
He is a natural leader, although
he lays no claim, nor does he
attempt- to be a political boss.
He is a splendid orator, a
thorough organizer and an untir
ing fighter. He is independent
of political machines and one
thing that gives him such a hold
upon the people at large is the
fight made upon him by what is
generally denominated the Port
land rinjr. The party in Oregon
stands today with good prospects !
before it, and with the rallying
cry of, '.'a republican for presi
dent and Mitchell for the senate, ' '
it can win in '96, grandly and
easily.
The saloon men are agitating
the reduction of their license to
four hundred dollars a year, and
give many reasons for the de
mand. The proposition will
doubtless encounter considerable
opposition on moral grounds.
There is considerable justice in
the request, for the present con
dition of money affairs renders
the business an unprofitable one
at best, and the five hundred dol
lar license was fixed when it
was generally understood that
eamblinsr and Sunday closing
laws were not to be enforced.
The recent determination to en
force the observance of these
. laws naturally results in curtail
ing the revenue of the saloons
considerably, and the saloon men
feel that their license should be
reduced in order to even things
up. It the council grants the
reduction it should be with the
understanding that the saloons
live up strictly to the terms of
the license. This is a college
town, and it is of prime impor
tance that all the proper regula
tions of the traffic be observed.
erally fixed at four hundred dol
lars, which is also the state li
cense. 1 .J-.

"When President Tracy, of the
republican league, said that the
democratic leaders are "replete
with political shrewdness,", it
gave rise to the suspicion that he
does not take a good newspaper.
These democratic leaders - have
given no signs of shrewdness for
many a moon.

Black suits and patent leather
shoes were, it is said, required of
participants in the graduating
exercises of the Evanston, 111.,
public schools this year. Amer
ica's greatest men have managed
to eet alone: in their race to fame
and fortune without the assistance
of black suits and patent leather
shoes. Evanston needs a change
in its public school authorities.
The Chicago Herald thinks
that when Mrs. Lease finishes
"rolling back the dark and tear
stained curtains of history" she
might wash the windows in the
corridor of the future and have
the dust-begrimed, mud-spattered
carpet in the political arena taken
up and shaken. This ought to
keep her busy until cool weather
sets in and brings permanent re
lief. IT is imperative that the
suburbs have better fire protec
tion. Except for a little street
work the residence portions of
Job's and other additions, receive
practically nothing for the taxes
they pay into the city treasury.
The water company enjoys a
franchise from the city. For
this privelege it should expect to
exhibit some enterprise in the
extention of mains and the ac
commodation of our citizens.
Last Sunday morning at 9:30
o'clock, in the city of Portland,
almost without warning, death
laid its icy hand on Judge R. S.
Strahan and beckoned him . to
the unknown realms of eternity.
Not old in years, robust in health,
he seemed to hold within his
grasp more than the three score
years and ten alloted to man.
Yet in a moment, even while he
seemed in the full flush of health,
"God's finger touched him, and
he slept." Judge Strahan was a
man of integrity: a iurist of
splendid ability and an active
citizen. His name has been writ
ten upon every page of our state's
history for the past thirty years.
It is true he had his faults, but
they were small, and served by
comparison to enhance his vir
tues. In the crucial test of an
honest character, a chansreless
sincerity, a noble nature and a
generous regard for the rights of
others no man of our state ex
celled Ruebeu Scott Strahan. In
the midst of a career that had
been honorable in every branch
of public service, and with just
ambitions and noble powers to a
yet longer life of public useful
ness, he disappeared from among
us. His life is worthy of emula
tion, and his memory deserves an
honored place on the pasres of
Oregon's history.
The Keystone of the Arch
In the edifice of health is vigor, which
means not merely muscular energy, but an
active discharge of the various functions of
the body, such as'digestion, secretion of the
hilc, the action of the bowels, the"Wrculation
of the blood. Nothing more actively and
thoroughly contributes to the united per
formance of these functions than the
renowned tonic and regulator, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. The result of its use is a
speedy gain in strength, together with the
agreeable consciousness that the tenure of
life is being strengthened that one is laying
up a store of vitality against the unavoida
ble drafts which old age makes upon the
svstem. The fortifying influence of the
Bitters constitute it a reliable safeguard
against malaria, rheumatism, and kidney
trouble. Appetite and sleep improve
through it? use, and it protects the system
from the effects of cold and damp.

THE ANNUAL CONVENTION.
After Eight Years, the Oregon
Editors Again Meet in An
nual Convention at -Newport.
The Yaquina-bouad - train last Satur
day required extra coaches,, for besides
the regular summer travel, the editors
of the state, with their female appurte
nances, were on board. They -were on
their way to the ninth annual con
vention, which was held this year at
Newport, and the red ribbon badges
which marked the profession, were in
profusion. They were all in the highest
of spirits, for dignity is never associated
with an editors' outing. At Toledo two
small ladies boarded the train and pre
sented each of the delegates with a lovely
boquet, an attention that was highly ap
preciated by the boys. The Volanta,
with a barge, conveyed the crowd from
Yaquina to Newport, where the printers
were distributed around among the dif
ferent hotels.
Saturday evening Senator Mitchell
addressed the association from the bal
cony of the Bay View House. He spoke
plainly and practically and his address j
was received with enthusiasm by the
newspaper men, as well as by others to
the number of several hundred, who
were present. The 2nd Regiment band
gave a hop later in the evening, and en-
ticed some of the boys who were not
troubled with Methodist feet. i
Sunday morning the steamer Farallon
took a large number out to sea on a fish- '
insr excursion. Most of the boys were
net used to crossing the bar they usu
ally not getting further than immediately
in front of it. They acted with the ut
most politeness in their first introduc
tion to old Neptune and were constantly
making their obeisances to the briny
god. Memories of the trip are too
painful to be retold. Suffice to say
that it was an attenuated and spectral
group that crawled on shore when the
steamer returned.
In the afternoon an immense clam
bake was held on the beach rfear the
bathhouses. The crowd already at New
port was swelled by a large excursion
that arrived from the valley about noon.
About 2,000 people enjoyed the delici
ous clams, crabs, corn, potatoes, chicken
and other good things that emerged from
the pit The clam bake was an immense
success and reflected great credit upon
the committee, and especially upon Mr.
Malcom, who had the matter in charge.
The balance of the day was spent in
various ways.
Monday morning the association was
called to order In the opera house by
President Beegle. After prayer by the
Rev. Dr. Thompson, of Corvallis, and
music by the Bachelor quartette, Hon.
R. A. Bensell delivered an address of
welcome on behalf of the citieecs of
Newport and Lincoln county. Mr.
Beegle responded and afterward delivered
his alinual address. It was replete with
interesting facts and practical suggestions
and demonstrated that Mr. Beegle had
had the good of the organization at
heart. The balance of the day was oc
cupied in the election of officers and
other routine work. About the only
matter of special importance was the
reading of a telegram stating that the su
preme court had affirmed Judge Fuller-
ton's decision in the Oregon Pacific case.
The announcement was received enthu
siastically and a resolution was passed
instructing the president and seceretary
to wire Mr. Hammond the congratula
tions of the Oregon Press Association.
Officers elected lor the ensuing year
were: President, C. C. Doughty; 1st
vice-president, A. W. Patterson; 2nd
vice-president, Frank Hull; secretary,
Albert Tozier; treasurer, Chas. Nickell;
historian, Geo. Himes. Monday evening
at 5 o'clock, the association adjourned
until q a. m. Tuesday." As most of the
work of the session had been completed
that evening, many of the delegates re
turned home the next day. The en
terprising citizens of Toledo had ar
ranged an excursion for the editors that
day to the city by the steamer Volanta,
but only a few of the boys remained to
take it in.
Socially the ninth annual convention
was a howling success, but the practical
benefits to the members will be of little
worth. There was a woeful lack of in
terest taken in the business meetings by
a majority of the delegates.
NOTES.
Monday evening Ira Campbell prgan
ized a serenading party and entertained
Newport with sacred and secular songs,
until the wee snia' hours. The mayor
finally telegraphed Gov. Lord for the
malitia; and Bro. Campbell dropped his
baton. Campbell has an elegant voice
for that climate. The government offi
cers offered to pay his expenses if he
would live in Newport a year. They de
sire a substitute for the whistling buoy,
should it be disabled..
Some of the boys were horribly sick on
the sea-trip. Bob Johnson has not yet
fully recovered. He was worn out in en
deavoring to chapeion Ira Campbell.
Monday evening the citizens of New
port celebrated the confirmation of the
O. P. sale, by the firing of anvils, blow
ing of whistles, band playing and other
demonstrations.
A dramatic reading was given at the
opera house Monday night by Miss Cogs
well and Mrs. Miller, of Eugene, assisted
by the Bachelor Quartette. Ira Campbell,
of Eugene: was manager and press repre
sentative. This note may serve to in
form another Eugene young lady why it
was that Ira failed to Insist upon her go
ing to the bay during the convention.
Manager Stone seemed to be omni
present. He was determined that the
boys should enjoy themselves, and was
constantly interesting himself in their
comfort "and pleasure.
Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Hammond and Mrs.
Eddy, were in Newport. Saturday, but
returned to the valley Sunday evening.
E. L, E. White, of the Chronicle, wore
a constant smile, and was one of : the
most active mambers of the association.
Geo. F. Halsey, of the Pendleton Tri
bune, says there no ladies like those of
Corvallis. Geo. is all right: except on
the senatorial and financial questions.
Geo. B. Small, editor of the Baker City
. Democrat, is a vocalist of no mean abili
ty. His rendition of Salvation Army
songs commanded the earnest attention
of a delighted audience that is, the said
audience would have been delighted to
get a firm hold of Bro. Small's scalp.
Mrs. M. M. Shillock of Portland, aided
materially in entertaining the editors.
She possesses a lovely voice, and was in
constant demand at the parlors of the
Bay View house.
Sunday evening Dr. Thompson deliv
ered a fine sermon at the Presbyterian
church. Members of the Salem band
furnished and orchestra, the Bachelor
Qqartette sang two anthems, and Mrs.
Shillock sang a beautiful solo.
The weather was intensely cold, but as
association adjourned especially in order
that the Eastern Oregon delegation
might have an opportunity of bathing, a
goodly number tried the surf Monday
morning. They had a chilly time, and
did not stay in long.
The Misses Ritner and Miss Frazier,
three of Pendleton's charming young
ladies, were members of the Eastern
Oregon delegation. The two former
were in Corvallis a few hours Tuesday on
their way home. Another young lady
who added materially in keeping up the
reputation of Eastern Oregon, for beauty,
sociability and jollity was Miss Marie
Proebstel, of La Grande,
Well Merited Honor.
The dispatches from the great educational
renventinn now iu session at Denver, Col.,
sh'.-w that this is one of the largest meet
ings of the kind ever held in the Uuited
States. The teachers of Oregon will be
gratified to learn that Prf. E. B. McEIroy,
of this city, now of the University of Ore
gon, has been honored by being elected as
one the vies presidents of the association.
This is a well deserved compliment ud is a
proper recognition of his earnest enterprise
and continued iuterest for many years in
the advancement of the National Education
al Association. Through his efforts, be
ginning in 1880, the educational interests of
1 Oregon have become well kaown and her

SYSTEMATIC PLAN OF SPECULATION
originated by us. All successful speculators operate on a regular system.
It is a well known fact that there are thousands of men in all parts of the United States
who, by systematic trading through Chicago brokers, make large amounts every year,
ranging from a few thousand dollars for the man who invests a hundred or two hundred
dollars up to 50,000 to $lti,000 or more by those who invest a few thousand.
It is also a fact that those who make the largest profits from comparatively small invest
ments on this plan are persons who live away from Chicago and invest through brokers
who thoroughly understand systematic trading.
Our plan does not risk the whole amount invested on any trade, but covers both sides, so
that whether the market rises or falls it brings a steady profit that piles up enormously in
a short time.
