Manufactories cannot exist for the same reason. The entire I'acitic coast is burdened with the weight of insufferable transportation charges, throttling to a great extent every enterprise and industry. 1'ortland is by right of location the commercial center of this northwest coast, but is directly resiMsm-ible for many of the ills that alllict us.

I si j (iiurl April The mayor and three members of the city council retire this evening from the positions they havo held for two years with credit to them selves and the town. Financial affairs and improvement arc in excellent condition, and much of this is due to the retiring officials. For years part Kuguiie has been fortunate in the selection of mayors, Mayor Friendly is no exception to the rule, lie has given largely of his time and means to city business and in calling attention of visitors and the outside world to the ad vantages Fugone and I.ane county oiler to intending emigrants und investors. Mr. Friendly would have la-en reelected by a large major ity had he Iktii disjKised to allow the use of his name. In fact we believe there would have been no opposition. No one will believe the preacher who stated tint our friend Amis, the populist editor of the Uroad Axe, had 100 to loan, provided a bonus was in sight. No one ever heard of an editor, especially no of the opulir-t persuasion, having that much money. It makes them rustle, dunning delinquent sub scribers who do not pay enough to bny Kistagc, to get enough to eat and pay ink and paer bills, with out aspiring to associate with Wall street usurers in business transac tions. The preacher is mistaken. Kditors have to pay bonuses in stead of receiving them. Bro. Amis can prova an alibi by the entire membership of tho Oregon Press Association, who travel on free passes, eat and sometimes drink at the expense of the towns which they greatly honor by their meetings. If money wm re'iuired they would stay ot home.

Perhaps the jieoplo of California will quit glorifying train robbers when tho outlaws make a few more murderous raids on tho innocent passengers. Whilo murder and robbery were confined to the ex press cars their acts were lookrd upon in tho light of a joke on the company and it is a well known fact that the Sontag it Evans show outfit actually "starred it" through the state.

The Japanese soldier may be drilled into tho semblance of his European model, both in uniform and maneuvers, but he keeps his own characteristics just the same. He marches without flags or music, awakes without the reveille, goes to his meals or drill without drum or bugle, lie is stoic with no senti mental speeches or ballads about home, but only a fierce sense of patriotism, aa shown in th defiant and bloodthirsty songs ol the pres ent campaign. The Japanese are excellent for artillery work, but comparatively poor marksmen with small arms. The result of the Florence city election will bo watched with interest. While the women, per haps, are not qualified to serve, it is not probable there will be any objection, and their acta as de facto otlicials would be legal and binding on the corporation. Tho election may have been a joke to start with, but the women may, take control and try their hand at running tlr affairs of the seaport town of Lane county. Florence has never paid any city taxes, the improvements and expenses having been kept up by fines and the saloon license. This is a notable opportunity for the women to show their hand on the saloon question. The old pea captain that sailed from PortTownsend the other day knows how to beat a sure thing poker game.
