. rttigdie City HA TL'RDAY .....AUGUST 8 TO CORRESPONDENTS The business dpartment 6f the WEEKLY GUARD Is caused considerable trouble by corre spondents addressing tne pro prietors peisonally. Address all tetters referring 10 the newspa per or business connected there' with to THE GUARD, Eugene, Oregon. A MKFKKE.NT VIEW, The Kural Northwest of Port land has this editorial, which is of interest to Mie wheat growers of Oregan: "An editorial which appeared s few days ago in the Morning Ore gonian told us that the 2,000 miles of trans-Siberian railroad wet-to' Irkutsk is about completed, anl that it is estimated that the terri tory to be opened by it contains 130,000,000 acres and will produce 1,400,000,000 bushola of wh-at. As this is a good deal more than half as much wheat as the world now produce?, the statement is sufficiently alarming to the American farmer it true. The Oregonian appears to have been inspired by the London Morning Post. From what sources the latter pajer drew its information we do not know. It needs but little investigation and thought to And that this hug-a boo is inflated to the bursting point. That part of the trans-Siberian railroad which runs through the portion of As'atic Russia which is best adapted to wheat culture ha9 been built for a number 0! years, and jet the in crease in the production of wheat in Siberia which has followed its construction bus been but slow. Comparatively little ol the land immediately tributary tott3 trann Siberian mil road apinars to he in tho wheat lx It. If climate and soil along all of the L',000 wiles ol roud were most favorably for the pro duction of wheat, the number of bushels mentioned would not be forthcoming. At the high average of 14 bushels f it ncro it would re quire a solid wheatfHd -,000 miles long and 80 miles wide to produce 1,100,000,000 bushels of whoat. This wheat would fill 2.SO0.O0O cira. To carry it out ot the country it would be necessary for 350 tnius of loaied cars to reach tho terminus every day in the year. To handle this number of loaded cars and haul back the empties would call lor a dozen lines of track. The wheat farmer of America has more to fear from the adoption of im proved methods and labor-saving michinery by Russian wheat grow ers than from the building of the trans-Siberian railrod." ll:et. It was the Oregon wnicn brouzht the Cristobal Colon to terms, and made tho Colon's Cap tain, after he had surrendered, say, with a Spanish shrug, and dipair- ing gesture.

She has not cost a cent in repairs since the war began, and officers and men have almost gone without fresh water to drink that they m ght not have to fill the ship's boilers 'rom the salt sea. There is esprit de corpjl It is nj wonder that Commodore Watson lias decided to transfer bis fhg to her. Oae also remembers in passing that the Oregon has taken part io four bombardments off S intiago and shelled Altares to protect the landing of (ien Shafter's troops at Siboney. For other achievements there are Inks in all of the four wrecks of Cervera's fine cruisers to tell the tale of the Ore gon's activity and usefulness. They say tint the crew and officers are rolling in jjold, because no one bas been ashore for mouths to spend his pay." TWO I'KOPKIETOKH .DISAGREE, I'HlLimNFS NOT Wi.NTEt). Tortland July 31. fc-ditor Ore gouun You say this morning that "theoretical anti-iiuierulisui this ne charms for men like Altgeld and 1'enuoyer, who are both to liso the palpablo advantage to be obtained by getting in line with i popular fancy." I am not only au anti-imperialiet, but I am also an anti-anaexationist, in regard to .the Philippine islands. As I have ald in the Oregonian, the United States should ksobs Cuba. We should own the country where the Maine martyrs died. But if we wish to punish fcpain beyond that, we should leave the Philippine islands in her possession. II vre should attempt to absorb them, re would punish ourselves and not pain. The wry lino talk of the very distinguished gcntlonien in your symposium of this rooming t.ivoring the absorption of the Philippines was all completely answered by thedispatch yesterday from Dewey to tho president, stat ing that the insurgent chief had as sumed a defiant altitude and that the United States would be obliged t make war upon tho insurgents, necessitating 150,000 troops ti sub duo tho island. To absorb Cuba would be justice; t3 absorb tho Philippines would bo gluttony. Sylvkstkh Pkxnoyku. THE OKKtiOV A writer in the New York "Sun" describing the U S llwtin (iu.in tanamo Jiay says: "A littlo farther up the bay lies the Oregon, the battleship wonder of two Hemis pheres. It makes onu's heart jump proudly as one thinks of the record of her marvelous voyage trora thti Pacific Cosst, during all of hich the secret hope of ofiicsrs and crew was that they might encounter The locil editor of the Pegister is making himself the laughingstock of the city in his vain endeavors to defend a man who has made an inefficient officer. Hi friend is no'oriously unfit for the position. It ('oes not require discussion. Tho editor of the Register openly and ubov) board repudiates the statements made by the local editor and desires his friends to under stand thit he is not responsible for said opinions. It has been hinted that said local writer be lieves that for the Register to buc- ceed ho must oppose all forward moves the GiAito makes. As for tho charge tint the CJ i ahij is attacking Mayor Kuykendally in this matter, all know thie to be lulse. We opposed Dr Kuykindall f r State Senator on Oroad princi- I pies. Ho was elected and is tho Senator for Lane county and ho will have our support in all mat ters of sUto legislation that will benefit Lano county and tho state of Oregon. When wo differ with Dr Kuykon dill we will do it in a gentlemanly in inner and openly. The(i 1 a Hi) has opinions on mat ters and will state them at all times without hesitation. It never op poses men. It is their actions and principles that we disagree with. TO HUAKD THE I 'UK EST. lty order of the department creating and extended service in forest ranging Capt q D Ormsby appoints the followiug persons to serve on the forost range during the months of August and Septem ber: Newt Ferrel, T C Lewis, Salem; Ephriam Ilennes, Gatss; V P Van- derport, Lava; T P Claypool, S s ters; F V Ileberf. Hazel Dell; James Kirkwood, Hull; Z O Davis, Eugene; George Pertquin, Koseburg, and V 1 I.amb, Yoncalla. 1 ho men are appointed ns near these ranges as possible, owing to tho short time of service and the small compensation. Koseburg Review: "Ringer Her- aiaun does not propose to desert his Oregon friends as long as a sen atorial elect io a hovers in th) near future. If the national treasury only holds out he will have a big ger army of special land agents and forest rangers than that now oper ating in Porto Rico under General M.les. Pitisr has, also, raised salaries, a notable instance being that of clerks in tho U S Land tllice who have heretofore received $1000 a year, but now with the work diminishing are to be paid $1200." C.irvallis Times: "The editor of the Time?, Mr B F Irvine, accom panied by his wife, left on the over laud Monday night fir Van Fran cisco, to bo ubsent 10 days. Mr Irvine will consul; with Dr H.ircan, the occulist, during his absence." We hope Frank may get relief. He is ono of tho ablest writers in Ore gon. Hthaykd.

There are a gieat many people here the majority of whom are dissatisfied and will go home as soon as they cau get there. Some sell their outfits right from the bouts, hardly go ing ashore, curse the country, aud are away themselves. Such people have no business ever to leave home, aud would do no good to themselves or anyone else if they remained here. Of course it is a haul country. A mau should know Unit before he starts, and uulest, bis dispositiou will permit him to be satisfied away from home aud comforts for two or three years, be had better never turn this way, for If a persou Is not satisfied lu a couutry he will never do any good for himself. The weather is very warm here uow. and the river Is fulling very fast. The steamers will luve some trouble this fall, I think, but there will be so mauy of them that enough will get up the river to furnish provisions.

It was learned this morning that about 10 o'clock last night some Incen diary set fire to stacked grain on W K Scarborough's farm about four miles outhwestof Eugene, and out of six stacks five burntd. The loss Is esti mated at 1,000 bushels. A Mrs Parks who resides near, on the Master-on place says that she saw two men leave the graiu about the time it was discovered b be blazing. As some of the stacks are 300 yards apart It Is without question the woik ot a fire bug. The ofllcers ars looking luto the mat ter aud some developments are expect ed. Such a crime deserves the most te veie sentence which can be Imposed, aud every eftort should be made to find the criminals. This is quite a heavy loss to Mr Scarborough. The Bag TagLawu. July 30.
