mayor of our metropolis will un
doubtedly be given to ex-Gov

OOBVALLIS, OREGON, OCT. 17, 1S9".
AN OPEN RIVER.
That popular literary organization, wl ose
members bare been engaged in the stud; of
Shakespeare during the past few months,
has arranged with Mr. Hannibal A. Will
iams, a wetlknown Shakespearean inter
preter, to give a recital here Monday even
ing, Oct. iMth. His subject will be the ever
popular play of "Honry IV. " Speaking of
Mr. Williams' impersonations the . Ore
Con ian of the 15th has the following:
La;tnighta very large audience, repre
sentative of the culture and education of
Portland, was assembled at Arion Hall to
hear Mr. Hannibal A. Williams, a well-
tlirousIlOUt the State a", sncli ac- known Shakespearean reader and inter-
tion by their leaders in Portland. Ipreter.of New York, in -The Taming of
It will then be manifest to the
riullest populist in the state that
The Independence West. Sit!e
and the Albany Democrat mildly
attack Senator Mitchell because
he will not promise to secure
appropriations for Willamette riv
er improvements without the
recommendation of the govern
ment engineers. They say that
more has been spent in surveys
than in improvements. The Dem
ocrat believes that any river pilot
can in for in the government of the
necessary work to be done, and
that the "surveying business is all
rot."
These papers are earnest in their
advocacy of an open river. In
common with the rest of the Wil
lamette valley press they realize
the importance of immediate and
extensive improvements. They
seem to attribute Mr. Mitchell's
attitude to indifference, or even
hostility, and while in no degree
abusive, blame him for not an
nouncing that he will obtain
appropriations independent ot any
engineer's approval. This paper
can not assume to speak for Sena
tor Mitchell, but it seems lather
unfair to scold him for not prom
ising to do the impossible. Unfor
tunately, perhaps, for the. project
in point, but luckily tor the health
of the national treasury, there is
not the slightest chance of obtain
ing govern men tar aid for water
way improvements unless-the gov
ernment engineers recommend
such improvements. The Oregon
delegation is not bashful in such
matters. They have a national
reputation for tenacity and liberal
ideas as regards their state claims,
in the river and harbor appropna
tion. -
There is an actual necessity for
an extensive campaign against
the bars, cnas and threatened
cut-offs of the Willamette. The
whole valley is deeply interested.
Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Hermann are
both outspoken in their utterances
and strongly favor an extensive
plan that will insure a navigable
river from Eugene to .Portland.
We don't want the appropriations
in driblets or installments.. The
existing bars ought to be removed
and the banks strengthened and
kept from washing into the river
to form new bars. This will
require a great sum of money, but
our delegation, " small -as it is
numerically; has sufficient influ
ence to obtain a liberal appropria
tion. The engineers must be
"ounched aid"- first : made to real
ize the importance and necessity
of an ooen river, and they will
promptly formulate and recom
mend the required plaus. "
This is a matter worthy of agifa
tion bv the Dress of the state, and
the West Side and Albany Demo
crat have commenced bravely,
But it would be more effective to
nresent facts and figures than to
cive the members of the Oregon
delegation an undeserved scolding.
Whatever they merit elsewise,
thev deserve no tault-hnding as
regards appropriations for Oregon.
The efforts of (Jorbett and Fitz
simmons to find a place where
thev may hammer each other un
molested, are developing the fact
that the United States has some
verv enersretic -and de.termined
governors. Culbertson of Texas
finding the old law ineffective
called the legislature together and
had a new one made. Gov,
Clarke of Arkansas, who seemed
somewhat drowsv at first, has
rubbed his eyes and is assumin
the aeeressive. He has personally
notified the principals that they
will not be allowed to fight in the
state, and savs that their very
nresence in Hot Springs will be
considered an overt act and treat
ed accordingly. A healthy mora
: sentiment seems to pervade the
country, and -the morality seems
to be of the "fitin" kind, and is
not content with mere moral
suasion. ;
thair nartv is o.nnf rolled as l.ncl
been rliarged, by those who pan
der to the morbid desires"of hobos
and criminals rather than giv3
Mipport to good local government
and sound business principle?.
The miVtake made in nominating
ami electing Pennoyer governor
was emphasized in a very marked
degree by the governor himself
during both terms of hi adminis
tration. His attempts to domi
nate the courts, his efforts to re
suscitate the old dead and buried
states rights doctrine; his dis
courtesy and insults offered to
eminent visitors; his encourage
ment to Coxey's army in violating
local laws, and finally his opening
the doors of the penitentiary and
flooding the state with a host of
criminals, marked him indelibly as
a man dangerous to a civilized
community and unsafe at large
unless kept in a. very subordinate
position. Mawkish sentimentality
and morbid sympathy with crime
emanate from a weak intellect and
me who betrays either is unsafe as
a guide and dangerous as a ruler.
That populists should seek lo
make such a man mayor of Port
land is an evidence of their folly
and dangerous tendencies which it
is hoped will not be lost sight of
by the people of our state.
G. W.
the Shrew," the first of a series of recitals,
J Mr. Williams is a man of pleasant address
and of strong dramatic power. lie held the
undivided attention of his audience for two
hours, during which time he rendered one
of the greatest of Shakespeare's comedies,
partly in an explanatory and partly in a
dramatic manner. The impersonations
were admirably given, and the character
descriptions were clever delineations.
Mr. Williams is in his 14th season, during
which time he has visited all the largest
Eastern cities. This is bis first tour on the
coast, and he has met everywhere with flat
tering result.-.
The price of admission has been fixed at
60 cents, students, however, will bo ad
mitted at half price.

Wo are enjoying beautiful weather at
present.
Mrs. Leslie Lilly came over to our valley
a week ago Saturday. Leslie came over to
take her home last Saturday.
The new store is running in full blast now,
and Jessie. Moses, the proprietor, declares
; ho is here to stay this time.
Henry Boyson, of Fall Creek, passed
through our valley Saturday with 80 head of
gnats. They were purchased in Polk and
Linn counties.
The Alsea roller mill is now ready lo-
grind but owing to the low stage of water
the proprietor cannot do anything but wait.
The mill has been thoroughly remodeled.
Messrs. Otto and Grover Hedrick cams-
over Saturday to attend the funeral of little
Crystal Ryecraft, who died Friday night.
Crystal was the daughter of G. H. and Cora
KyecrafUjlShe was abouU16 months old.
Miss Mamie Oglesby, a successful young
chool marni, while spending her vacation
at her home on Fall Creek, had q-iite an ad
venture with a deer a few days ago. A
hound chased a spike buck into the creek
near the Oglesby home. Her father being
abseut Miss Mamio and her little sister
Grace went forth to attack the buck .bare
handed. She seized him by the horn with
one hand and by the nose with the other and
held him until Grace could bring a rope
with which she tied him to a tree until her
father came and killed him. What ehame
has an unruly urchin with such a school
mistress as this?
Profs. Bristow and Holm held a very in
teresting meeting at the south school house
Thursday night. Prof. Bristow delivered a
lecture on the subject of education, after
which Prof. Holm secured a class and gave
a few lessons in reading. The meeting was
well attended and all seemed to enjoy it very
much. Gkorok Mossback.

this Camp bo extended to his family in their
