It is said that all It fair ia lore and war bat tl Plixdal haa no wa lor a traitor to his colors. A political traitor, spy or knave should be looked npon with contempt. An eg sucking dng is a cr nature of good im pulse beside a traitor to friendship and proffered fealty. ' e. -J Brownell is oppottod to organixed la I5r. lie sold out the Oregon City unions in their plea for Lis support. Now his name is not Dennis ; it is wort than that; it is Mud. Ik not put the utterances of the Plaixdbalkb to tlie credit of any politi cian. They are the thoughts of a man who cares no more for a politician than be done for any subscriber at two dol lars per year. It must have been very cold List Thursday at Klamath Falls if we may judge by the printing of the Express. The ink rollers must have been frozen and; tbe office out of fuel. The Repub licans of the same date was in a like fix The P. aikobaleb is run in the interest of people who are now on earth ; not on dead issues or the memory of the past It wQl not refer to the obituary notices cf tbe past decade, but will deal in liv ing istoes. The paper is owned exclu sively by the editor and "tbe powers that be" have no cinch, nor anything else coming except a kick ! kick ! ! kick ! ! ! The Jefferson Review had a slight at tack of kleptomania. It took an article from the Plaikdialks which has been roundly corned br roliucians, and as fate would have it the Review divided the article by accident. Tote fair brother or your head will need "The treat of m bath in the 'soft mud's ooze" instead of your feet as longed for in your leading editorial. Ex-Governor Geer has struck a soft snap in booming the Lewis and Clark fair and can well afford to stifle his politi cal aspirations for congressional honors. He says that he will support the re publican nominee pat does not promise not to knife him in tbe same manner that he knifed the republican ctudidate for Governor, and made trades for support of our present Governor Chamberlain. Several newspapers are booming Brownell for Congress. The Plaix Pialbb does not Hi ink that such a man as lie has proved himself to be should for a moment be tolerated by decent, self respecting men of any political jarty much less by republicans. He gloned in being a genuine political Benedick Arnold to Scott and he could have given Judas I sea riot points and beat him in toe political sale 01 unnst to tbe mug wump Pharisees and Sadducees. The first Congressional district has no need for men of Lis stripe whatever the politi cians may say of him. The Congressional race in this district promises to be red hot from now on, ssys the Albany Ileral I. Many names are mentioned for the place, although several of tbe gentlomen probably are not candidates. Clackamas speaks of Hon. Geo. C. Erownell, Marion throws bonnets at Hon. Frank Davey, Hon. Til mon Ford and Hon. Claud Gatch, Polk has Hon. B. F. Mulkey, Tillamook would send Hon. B. L. Eddy, Linn may name Hon. Percy R. Kelly or Hon. H. H. Hewitt, Lane thinks kindly of Hon. L. T. Harris, Douglas county smile at and approves Hon. Binger Hermann or Hon. J. C. Fuller-ton, Jackson may start a boom for Hon. Henry E. Ankeny or Hon. W. I. Vawter and there may be otliers. Tbe democrats also have a number of gentlemen who have light ning rods up, but the successful one on that side will get a very empty honor. -Another timber land swind'e has been discovered at Sampler, through the ar riyal the past week of a number of in vestors from Nebraska, Iowa and Illi nois. As near as can be learned, a com pany of sharpers has been operating in j the states named, inducing the unwary to locate timber land in that part of Ore gen, saying that a large eastern syndi cate wit about to begin operations, and that quarter sections of good timber land that could be located for $100 to f 125 each would within a short time sell for 2000 to 1 2500. Some of the people have been taken out by the sharks and shown fine bodies of timber land, which Ihey have selected, only to find that the locator, had selected for them a worthless piece of rock land, upon , which there was no timber, the piece of land select ed by the victim having already been located she Dalles Mountaineer. : . .t.t ; Medford must have some mules if we may judge from this good advice taken from the Success : ' Why wouldn't it be a good idea for a lot of us to get behind every project that is brought up which has the elements of a good thing for the town in it and give it a success. Wliat do you eay to stop being co very Critical about people who start the thing, '. just so "the thing" itself is all right. If John Jones, who Is your pet aversion, advocates some thing which you know will be of benefit to the eity and the country at krge, don't oppose it just be cause Junes wants it; but forget all about your antipathy to the promoter of the enterprise and get in and help make it a success. You will be surprised to find oat after awhile that Jones is a pretty good sort of a mm after all and that you have not only helped the town but you have helped youreelf." " Ton mar not like tbe Plaijtdbalhi wart and in this you are no doubt j uni fied because too are not used to each ; and the Plaikdbalk may not like your wa ys because be came from Texas and U used to call a spade a spade and not an agricultural implement with which to tickle the bosom of Mother Earth. We are willing to admit that erery man who reads tbe Plaisdsalzb is sincere and honest in big convictions and it is oar intention and our aim to be equally as sincere and honest in or writings as we give our readers credit for in reading; and with this common bond let us try to hold fast to that which is good and repudiate the ivil ; and we believe that w ith such a sentiment put in practice that much good can be accomplished. POT POURRI. 80 far the Plaiwitbalbb bas taken no part nor lot in the affairs of Roseborg except to boom the Board of Trade, and there is not tbe slightest excuse for ieot.le to say, that as a newcomer the editor has no right to interfere in social, political or civil affairs or to advocate measures he knows to be for the best interest of the community at large. Al though be has been here nearly eight months be is waiting to thoroughly un derstand the ground on w hich he steps before advocating any measure. The talk being made against the course of the Plaisdealeb only shows the trend of fear in those who are doing so much talking: and without any mental reservation we state: No honest upright citizen has anything to fear from the utterances of this caner nor never will have. When we first decided to make Oregon our home, we determined, that the citizens should be our people ; the welfare of Oregon oar welfare ; the enacted laws our laws and the God of Oregon our God. lhexe are the sentiments inspiring every line written and published; and hile a few may kick at such a policy yet scores are sending in subscriptions anxious to help the Plaixdbaleb stand on solhi ground instead of wallowing in the quagmire of groveling methods. When the Plaixdbalkb does speak there shall never be an uncertain note of utterance Tbe editor believes in a clean conscience in order to enjoy good sleep at night and he would sooner go to his bed feel ing that duty bad been done to all of his subscribers than to take in a thou sand dollars for puffing something he did not believe in. It is our intention to make the Plaixdbalbb a stalwart republican newspaper in fact, not mere ly in name. To make it a paper whose utterance will be praised by every hon est citizen of whatever faith or party and dreaded by the corrupt rings that for years part has had the state by tbe throat. If roa want a paper of thi kind send in your subscription. Lenten Season. Lent is the season of the yearoteerved by the Episcopal Church immediately before Easter. During this season fasting and prayer is tbe rule for her communicant. As prayer is commended by our Blessed Lord in His Sermon on tbe Mount, so also is fasting. Hypocritical anything is to be condemned aud so is hypocriti cal fasting in a hypocritical observance of Lent. Lent Li the "revival" time in the church, the heart searching time The time when the "miserable sinner' trys to realize bis true position in God sight, to find out a hat sins hare gotten tbe strong bold and to get away from them that he may "sit loose to the thing of this world" as did the Blessed Master. Therefore Lent is the time of constant sell denial. For forty days the truly penitent fasts and prays. It is equiva lent to the "week of prayer" of some churches, but a little longer, to the revival that stirs up other churches though considerable quieter. And if both these are right ana proper oar deep-feeling, truly spiritual, heart searching time connot be very far wrong The Lenten season has been observed from the earliest times of tbe church and is not of modern dste. The forty days remind us of the great fast of the Master in the wilderness and to fast is to abstain from all things that we know we carry to excess whether eating or drinking, amusements, society or what not. If we, by Divine Grace, are so strengthened to live our religion then our fart has been beneficial. But if it is only the "calling a halt" for a time so that we mav go headlong 'into the pleasures of the world again then the season is most injurious to us spiritual ly and tbe use of the fast perverted. "The observance of Lent. . . .is for the nse of everyone in whose breast burns the desire for true manhood or woman hood. It is for everyone who recognizes Jesus Christ as the representative of our race, and who is willing to walk in His footsteps. D , The cheerful liar of tbe Albany Herald Is responsible for the following: It is reported that a Benton Co unty farmer who stirs early these March mornings also wanted his son to get up early and go to work. The boy had a habit of answering yesnir" and going to sleep again. On this occasion last week the father, to make no mistake, called the boj, got the "yessir," and then slid up stairs, turned down the covers and gave the person a good spanking. It hap pened that on that night the hired girl had been given the boy's room. When the tumult was over tbe old man set down behind the barn and drafted a written apology to the hired girt. Great Battle In Som sill sad. Adis, Arabia, March 11. Advices from Obbis, Somaliland, say that during the recent fight between the followers of the Mad Mullah and the Abssinian forces co-operating with the British , the former lost 1000 men. Tbe Mullah, it is added, is maintaining his authority with ruthless severity, cutting the throats of male malcontents and mutilat'ng women and children. Card of Thanks. We desire to express our sincere thanks to the kind friends, who so kind ly assisted aniloffered their services dar ing the sickness and death of our darling little daughter, Anna Agnes, Mi. and Mks. A. S. Ikei.and, . and Fa milt TREY A STRANGE DOCUMENT The Plaindealer Has Received a of which "A LEGISLATIVE FARCE, CONCEIVED IN ENVY, PROSE CUTED WITH MALICE, EXECUTED WITH CRIMINAL STUPIDITY." The pamphlet contains 82 Horace Greeley nsed to say) table providence is allowed to of' W. H. Odell, of Salem, Oregon. Now the Plaindealer. about the affairs treated on in nothing more or less than a joint committee of the late Legislature, the members com posing it being George T. Myers and B. F. Mulkey, cf the Senate, and S. B. Hermann, A. M. La Follett and W. C. Hale of the House. By reading the pamphlet we are per suaded that the committee did tbeir work thoroughly and well and a set of corrupt officials were exposed and were afterward turned out of the tion or otherwise. That the connivance or theft has been 000 by honored and trusted carelessness, connivance or fraud and that the land office - 1 methods were rotten to the core. If the reported examin ations of witnesses before the penitentiary has been robbed ers upon the State and public and political gods for future The recorded statements sworn to before the committee are most damning; and how a so much grafting and sculduggery if not actual theft of public funds is a mystery. ceived as high as $1.75 per acre for giving out information from the State land office to enable other grafters to gob ble up rich timber lands at a mere song. To wade through the pamplet is to feel that Oregon has had a band of thieves at Salem who have robbed thousands if not millions ot dollars, ana mat tne btate is .... cursed with too much of personal politics and lack of persona honestv. If the sworn statements of the witnesses were worth the credit of that joint was derelict in its duty when criminal and civil Droceedines appears on tlo face to be a veritable robber's roost- 1 - Amerktn Protective Tariff League. The following resolution was recently unanimously adopted by the above League at tbe eighteenth annual meeting in New York City. Besolved, That reciprocity in competi tive prod acta by treaty ia unsound in principle, pernicious in practice and con demned by all experience. It is contra ry alike to the principle of Protection, to the fair treatment of domestic pro ducer, and to friendly relations with foreign countries. It is neither ethical nor economic, since it seeks to benefit some industries by tlie sacrifice of others, which is the essence of injustice, As at present advocated, reciprocity ia the policy of favoritism. It would tend to array industry against industry and section against section at borne, and foment industrial retaliation and politi cal antagonism abroad. Such a policy would open the door to the grossest favoritism in legislation, promote the growth of a corrupting lobby, and in crease tbe power of debasing bossism. Such a policy haa no justification in economics, statesmanship, ethics or good politics. True American policy is Pro tection of all the opportunities and pos sibilities of the American market for American enterprise and fair, equal treatment for all other countries name ly, the equal right to com pete for Ameri can business in the American market by the payment of the full equivalent of American wagea. This alone is honest Protection, good Republicanism and the true American policy. Adopted unanimously at the eighteenth annual meeting of The American Protective Tariff League. General New Notes. Cn Tuesday the Pendleton hotel had a blaze which did $0000 damage. Oregon rough pine is now selling in San Francisco at $20 per M. General Fonston is in Washington re ceiving instructions regarding his duties in Alaska. St Louis wants the two great national conventions to meet in that city next year. It Is stated that a vein of good coal 17 feet thick has been discovered near Forest Grove. Governor McBride and the Washing ton Legislature are having a regular old fashioned monkey and parrott time over the libel law. A $3,000,0000 sugar plant near San Francisco bas been closed up or merged into the sugar trust and 400 men thrown out of employment. The greatest strike ever known in British North America is now being waged on the Canadian Pacific railroad. The strike is to be to a finish. Tbe rail road are moving the trains with "scab' labor and the Union men are receiving support from the United States. The state of Washington ha actually insulted Oregon by appropriating only $25,000 for an exhibit at the Lewis and Clarke fair at Portland. It was ex pected.that at leaf t $100,000 would have been set aside for that purpose as that state will receive as great a benefit from the fair as Oregon will receive. A special dispatch from Washington says: "Senator Mitchell and Fulton are having a hard time selecting a successor to Surveyor-General Meldrnm. Four candidates are prominently in the field They are: E.V.Gates, of Hillsboro; M. M. Pickens, of Portland ; Senator J. J. Daly, of Corvallig ; and L. L. Porter, of Oregon City. Indorsements in lie half of all candidates are coming in rapidly, and all are making a good race." , Pamphlet 'the Title is: 1 ' pages and is fathered by (as "a man who for some lnscrtr masquerade under the name knows absolutely nothing the pamphlet.

A Walker, and the way everything wen off they mart have made a success out of it. Each member had the privily of bringing a guest, and those who had the good lock to be invited felt them selves amply repaid for their walk through the rain to attend. The participants began to assemble at about eight o'clock, and from that time notil all the guests had arrived which was about 8:45, a very entertain ing social session was going, a general ''telling bowd'y'," and making acquaint ed all the strangers. Jtext was the very finely gotten op program, and as the Club ia at present studying French history, all the nam bers were by French authors, TTe pro gram wai rendered as follows, with the exception of numbers eight and nine, which had to be omitted, a member of the quartette being absent, and Mrs. Applehoff, ill, and Miss Brookes reciting in an appreciated manner, "Prince Almeric's Amulet." . in the place of the missing numbers: 1.

The program being finished, refresh ments were served, which consisted . of olives, pickles, sandwiches, cake, coffee eand tea, the gentlemen waiting upon th tauies. Alter tne reirestimenta were partaken of the crowd engaged in social conversation for a time, when a grand march led by Dr. Oehme and lin. Child was instituted. From this time until tbe crowd departed the entertainment was dancing, the feature of which was a Virginia reel, in which some of the dames and gentlemen who were sup posed to have forgotten all about such doings, participated. The assembly, which consisted of about 100 people, adjourned about 12 o'clock and it was the opinien of guests as well as members that everyone had enjoyed a good time. At St. Pettersburg, Russia, a thie stole a crown from a dummy made to repiesent the Nazarine. The crow was vainea si i iw.iaaj in total ana was more valuable than the original crow of thorns.

Hoods fat the Mississippi Valley 5000 People In Danger. . Naw Oaxaairs, March 11. The river is rising slowly. Tbe guage today mark. ed 18.4. Tbe stage is still over a foot under tbe record. The mott unfortu nate condition at pretest is the continu ance of the rainy weather. This ia hav ing the effect of softening the levees and all Louisiana ia praying for a return of sunshine. Six hundred men are at work today at various points sacking weak points and rising the line of em bankments. Thousands of sacks of sand are being distributed along the river. Tbe engineers report tbe levees between Beuth Port and Carroliton in excellent condition. The United States Engineer official have promised their co-operation ith the authorities in carrying on the fight against the flood. All the levee boards of tbe state may be in continu ous sessioa and every foot of levee on the river and its tributaries is under the survtilance of armed guards. St. Locia, March II. The old leve, tbe greatest danger point along the Mississippi, a mile and a quarter south of here, is caving wilh the river showing a rise of four inches and rain falling heavily. Government Engineers regard it as the most critical flood point along the river. Four hundred men are build' ing a new levee. Landing places along the river are submerged, many towns are entirely surrounded, and the river, which con tinues to rise, has backed up for miles. The levees alone are between tbe flood and Carrntbersville's 5000 inhabitants. who are in fear of destruction and tbe surrounding counties with farming and lumbering interests representing $5,000, 000. Mbmphis, Tenn., March 11. The Mis siasippi River is rising steadily at this point, the gauge title morning marking 25.2 feet. It ia believed that the river wilr reach a mark of SS feet at Memphis. Reports from Mississippi and Arkansas today indicate that the gravest appre hension prevails regarding the flood situation. In some districts armed sen tries are patrolling the levees. All streams and rivers in Arkansas are over' flowing. In North Memphis the flood nas already Degun encroaching at cer tain points and it will Uke but a few inches more to render work impossible at many of the lumber industries in this state. Occupants of cabins hare been compelled to flee to higher ground. The steamer Georgie Lee arrived from Cairo today and reports refugees from the lowlands are to be seen everywhere, i ne oorernmem uirineers have aug mented their forre and Ute steamers are carrying sacks of sand and other supplies to the more dangerous places. In Memoriam. Died, at Wolf Greek, Oregon, Jan u, Keason tJorlor. tin age was 76 years, and was born in Hillsborough Ohio. He crossed the plains to Oregon in 1853. While eneoute to Oregon, be was married at Salt Lake City to Mies Eliza Kewcombe, daughter of General Wa. Newcombe, who with his family were traveling in the same emigrant train with Mr. Corder to Oregon. Mr, and Mrs. Corder lived in the btoet liar moneous relation of marital life for al most fifty years, and in a few month would have celebrated tbeir golden wedding, me onspnng o! their mar riage was thirteen children, eleven of whom still survive, two daughters, both of them having reached maturity, died a few years ago. Tbe surviving children are: Mrs. Sarah Chase, Mrs. Kate Gale and Mrs. Effie Williams, of Pokeg ema, Calif.; William, Oscar, George, Earnest and Jo-eph Corder, of Placer, and Mrs. Lillie McBride. of Can by, Ore gon. Mr. Corder joined the Christian church in 1859, and has led a consistent Christian life ever since. He died in the full assurance of the faith, and in hope of a blessed resurrection ; and as we gaae on nature in its beauty, and re member Uiat all will soon fade away and return to earth again, we feel the burden of earthly separation until we lift our eyes heavenward and we hear again his glorious promise, "That if ye die ye shall live again," and hope made beautiful by faith gives to all who liave tasted of Marah's bitter waters, the sweet aasarance of life beyond the grave. To this family of sons and daughters, who miss the wie and loving counsel of a devoted father, w tender our loving sympathy. You will miss the dear old father when you come borne. You will gaze with tear-dimmed eyes npon a va cant chair, a form you loved haa been conveyed to the silent tomb to await the glorious resurrection morn. To the aged and sorrowing wife, we offer in per sonal friendship, our condolence. The husband whose tender love has shel tered your life, and who haa shared alike your joys and sorrows, has isuwod from death unto life, and in the shallow of your sorrow yoo walk life's pathway alone. May you look for guidance and comfort, in this sad home, to Him who has said, "I will never leave or forsake you." ' May yoa realize that he has en tered upon eternal life ; snd over the funeral pall of your bereavement, God in bis goodness bas spread out the sun shine of His own eternal love, and from out of this dark cloud comes His still small voice, "It is I," and the sorrows and separations ot earth are the way to that blessed home where we shall never sy good bye. In this hour of supreme bereavement, we tender you all our deepest sympathy. Mollis. On Tuesday morning a gale of wind at Astoria was registered as moving at the rate of 80 miles an hour. Tbe Missouri Legislature has passed a law making It a misdemenor for anyone to sell cigarettes or cigarette paper to anyone under the age of 18 years. Other states have such laws, but the dealers allow children to steal both. Cattle Losses In Kansas. Reports from Western Kansas are to tlie effect that the weather of the past week has been the most severe on cattle known there for several years. Thoir sands of cattle perished on the Western plains during the first of the week. The snow is so deep as to put grazing beyond the reach of the animals, and more have starved to death than have frozen. The railroads say that the blockades of snow in Western Kansas show no sign of be ing raised for several days yet. Land Commissioner Richards Makes War oa Roosevelt. For years paxt it is a well knows fact that Richards, of Wyoming, bas been nothing more nor lees than the tool cf the National Livestock Association, an organisation whose only object was and is to control the people's land in the trsns-Missouri states and turn it into one vast cattle ranch. . Tlie writer was s member of the first organization which met at Denver about siz years asp; and Governor Richards then advocated the wholesale stealing of the public lands under the guise of a lease. He is st heart opposed to tbe settlement of tlie public lands and in full sympathy with the land sharks. We hsve no favors to ak at bis hands, no enemies to punish and no friends to be iswsrded and there fore ean afford to tell tbe truth in this matter. President Roosevelt is ia favor of the settlement of the ceuntry. Rich ards and the eettle barons sre net snd the combined influence is to be centered In the Rocky Mountain and other states adjacent to prevent Roosevelt from ob taining the delegates to the next repub lican national convention. The Presi dent favors forest reserves and the cattle barons want the grazing and Richards is now trying to prejudice people sgainst the President's policy. It is tbe Plais Daaurx's opinion that Richards will 'walk the plank" - before six months elapse if be does not change his policy. Real Estate Transfers. W. A. Perkins and wife, to Jos.
