as a Siletz Imli.ui about

through the column- of the Oregon,
ian, w hat the farmers should lo to
muke the country j-roi-iicroufl. e
have vet to read the first contribu

are eating the tropic up. No
farmer, who is comielle(I to go m
debt, can pay ten iter cent, interest,
then five a coneiilerable jiortioii ot
the products of his farm to the rail
road for transjiortation chaiges,
without taken serious chances of
b-ing cloce.1 o'.t. 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. Her leading news
pajT and bus iness men have uni
formly fought every effort for lower
interest charges, and transporta
tion facilities that did not inure to
her benefit. Hy corrupt practices
Multnomah county elects members

no hope of laws looking to fair set

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.
The proxals received by the
county commissioners court for

that there ure large numbers of
oiisircrs unemployed, who are
willing to work for small

job. .Some of the bidders have no
knowledge of river or ferry work,
and undoubtedly are not aware of
the danger and ritk to which an

The seeds of social detnoenr.

ihe time for making your in
come tax return expires on tU
loth inst. Corporations must
make returns without regard in
amount of income. Individuals
who havo an income annually of
1 1000 and over must come to the
front. We havo not yet heard of
any individual in Eugene getting
on tho income tax band wagon.
English bimetallists are in
earnest. At a meeting of their
leuguo the other day they resolved
to raise a fund of foOO.000 to he
used in propagating and educating
bimetallic sentiment. Halt or it
was already subscribed by private
parties. Knglisli manufacturers
and farmers do not propose to
bankrupt themselves for tho bene
fit of tho money changers of Lom
bard streot.
Oregon and the 1'acifio North
west have vast resources and nat

handicapped by exorbitant freight
rates that confront tho agriculturist
and manufacturer on every side.
Let us hoH) and pray for the early
completion of the Nicaragua canal
which will relieve the Pacific
coast from the bondage in which
it is held by extortionate toll
gatherers.
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. When tho "drama''
struck the Oregon boundary it met
with its first cold reception at the
hands of tho more respectable
people who, fortunately in cases
whsre division occurs, are in the
majority.
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. Two gamblers made
his acquaintance, went aboard
ship, with the result, that the cap

to renew the game the next even

accepted. Unce aboard the gaia
