Now comes a newspaper from a Western Oregon town with an editorial opposing the location of the proposed military post in the vicinity of the town and even objects to the post being located at its neighboring town, Eugene. This paper is the Junction Times and among other things it says: If we are correctly informed the establish ment of a military post is just what a city does not need. A friend of ours, whose word we consider abso lutely reliable, informed us that he visited Vancouver with the purpose of locating there but upon investiga tion found the moral tone of the place far from commendable which was attributed to the location of the military post near that citv. If all we hear is true, the soldiers of that post are the best patrons of the sa loon, the gambling dens and houses of ill repute. It will be a sad day when Lugene secures this element to come in contact with the wives and families and the bright young men and girls attending her various educational and religious institutions. Eugene is a fine growing city, much above the average in culture and intelligence, the capital city of the best county in the state, and the personal interest we have in the city and good morals generally, we trust the efforts made to secure the military post will fail. The Roseburg Piaindealer says that the proposed electric railroad line is not for light passenger service like we see in the street car systems of the cities. Hut the line will be a motor service both for passenger and freight business, with capacity to haul great trains of heavy freight not unlike those which now travel the country over lehind the big locomo tives. If Koseburg don't get in and hustle that road won't so near that place but will follow down the coast The Roseburg Roard of Trade could do much to bring the road to that place by shoving the advantages it would have over the (lardiner route ind that the Middle Fork route is the most feasible one to Cats Ray.

Here's another gem from Parker's letter: "Between the expenditure. of the year 1SSG, amounting to $242, 000,000, and those of the last fiscal year, the seventh after (5 rover Cleve land ceased to be president, aggre gating $582,000,000 there is a differ ence so creat as to excite alarm m the breast of all thoughtful men hxpenditures have increased since Cleveland went out.

DOLLIVER MADE HIT Followed Senator Fairbanks in a Brilliant Speech. AT PORTLAND MEETING Iowa Senator Delighted His Hearers With Wit and Satire. At the conclusion of the address by Senator Fairbanks at Portland Sen ator J. P. Dolliver was introduced by the chairman. In making the intro duction. Senator Mitchell referred to the visitor as the ablest political de bater in the United States Senate. He told of his having been a candi date before the National Convention for the nomination for N ice-President in U00 and said it would sound as good to hear the slogan "Fairbanks and Dolliver" in 1908 as it did to list en to the cry of "Roosevelt and Fair banks." Senator Dolliver was suffering from a very severe attack of hoarseness and, when he commenced to talk. it effort and evident ! A John Day man raised a tomato that measured 18$ inches in circum ference, weighed two pounds and whose slices were larger than a din ner plate, says the Portland Journal. This tomato is a mere pigmv as com pared to the one recently displayed in the Plaindealer office by Prof. Geo. Crane, which measured 19 inches in circumference and weighed four pounds. The I'mpqua valley against the World. Though suffering severely from a cold and worn out from a long, stren uous campaign tour, the genial, op timistic disposition of Senator Dolli ver, the companion of Senator Fair banks, was apparent on his coast visit late last week, where at Olympia in a dense fog he appeared on the plat form and began talking in a very husky voice. He started a laugh in the beginning by saying, "Isn't this a voice for your whiskers?" The Senator's voice, however, became bet ter as he talked. He humorously al luded to the fog by saying if he had not desired to see the city very much he would have remained at the depot. "I must congratulate you," he said, "that while you are in a fog this one day, you are not like the Democratic party. The Democratic party is in a fog every day." Owing to his serious physical condition Senator Dolliver was forced to give up the coast tour at Portland and was succeeded by our own distinguished silver tongued ora tor, Senator Chas. W. Fulton of As toria, who will accompany Senator Fairbanks during the rest of his Pa cific coast campaign. Roosevelt and Fairbanks are both young men as are a majority of the leaders of the Republican party, says the Medford Mail. If you believe in progress, if you warjt to see our coun try the richest and its people the mosttcontented andprosperous on the face of the earth, if you believe in throwing open the doors of oppor tunity to young men, if you do not believe that smokestacks are a proper place for cobwebs and birds' nests, if you would rather hear the whirr of revolving wheels than the murmur of discontent, if you believe in happi ness instead of unhappiness, if you believe in courage and honesty, if you believe in frankness instead oi secre cy, if you believe in deeds rather than promises, if you believe in reason rather than ignorance, then cast your first presidential vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Most people would be content with their lot if it happened to be located in Roseburg. About all the strikes have been called off, and the cotton and other mills are starting up.

Mr. Inman is independent, not only in politics but as a man so he says, and is "fer- ninst" everything that all the other parties are in favor of. He promises to publish his platform in a short time and it is certain to be good read ing. Medford Mail. What is the F'Ren direct primary law. anyhow, but an act to disfran chise about one-half the voters? All the fault found with it is that under its operations no one could vote. That is a small matter in a free coun try, but it is the kind of rot that has been shoved onto the people in the name of expert legislation. Salem Journal. President Roosevelt has consented, in the event of his election, to for mally open the Lewis and Clark Cen tennial Exposition by pressing a lever in the White House at Washington on June 1, 1905, which will set the machinery of the great fair 3,000 miles away, in motion. It is reported that 600 Chinese members of the most illustrious fami lies in the Celestial Empire are study ing the science of militarism under uerman instruction, this would in dicate that the Chinaman is looking forward to the time when he will have troubles of his own. A man who is not well known him self must be judged by his advisers If Judge Parker is elected President, we must infer that his associates and advisers will be David B. Hill and Au gust Relmont. With David R. Hill, Wm. J. Bryan, and Mr. Hearst keeping close mouths and letting the machine run itself, the campaign is thus far very tame and uninteresting. There is not any op position worth speaking about. The fashion editor sees danger that the collarless styles in gowns will be run to the ground. We agree that this would he much too low, even in the hottest weather. One New York man having been arrested and fined for riding a sick donkey. Judge Parker has a better reason than ever for refusing to make a campaign tour. While he was about it Mr. Parker should have telegraphed Democrats to be protectionists as well as gold-bugs. Wheat is up, but even the Demo crats are not looking lor a sympa thetic rise in the price of silver.

When the speaker took his place before the audience he was greeted with an ovation scarcely less enthusi astic than that accorded to Mr. Fair banks. His address was witty and interspersed with anecdote and sar casm until the audience was kept in a continual shout of merriment, but was strong and appealing and convinc ing, ihe speaker in the course oi his address said: "It is a great pleasure to me to have the opportunity of joining with you in the welcome extended to the next Vice-President of the I'nited States." Continuing the speaker told of his trip and of its pleasures. "I have been traveling for the past few weeks," he said, "with the party of Senator Fairbanks largely for pleasure, as I have long wanted to take a leisurely journey through this part of the country, which I have nev er had the time before to thoroughly examine. "We started out to talk politics, but we had not gone far into the Rocky Mountains before we began to notice the disappearance of trees and of the Itemocratic party. We feel sorrv for the few members that are left, for they have been furnished such a variety of principles. Rut we have only seen a few and those were mostly those who appeared at the platform after the address to tell Sen ator Fairbanks they had quit. "I am sorry for this disappearance for I have always believed that there should be two great parties in the country. One is needed to conduct the countrv, and the other is needed to watch the first and to prevent any mistakes from going unnoticed. 1 think that the Republican party has shown its power to conduct the Gov ernment, and the brethren on the other side have developed a great aptitude for standing guard 'I like the Republican party be cause it has a history it pays one to read. There is nothing so important as the study of history, and the stu dent of the history of our country can notice that in the last 50 years has occurred the most glorious advance ment of our Nation's existence, and n all that time the old Republican party has written its name on every page. I do not want to exclude the Democratic party from the honor of having helped to make this history, but the only chance given in all of that time for them to help was with a few punctuation marks. A comma here, a period there, in the other place a colon, and then a semi colon, while here and there stands a question mark, wanting to know what it is all about In the other place it is an exclamation point. The boys are up in the air. Rut when Cleve land's time came there was a full stop in industrial and commercial ad vancement. "It has been said by a Democratic writer in a recent article that it is not the history of a party that is im portant, but it is the promises that a party can and does make. I do not believe such things, and I would not like to pin my faith to a Democratic promissory note. While it is true that no party can live on its record alone, it is equally true that no party can live on its promises alone. "I like the Republican party be cause it has the faculty of taking care of the every day happenings of the country, and of advancing the prosperity of the Nation." Big Irrigation Scheme A stock company comprising a trio of well known local capitalists filed articles of incorporation with County Clerk Zopher Agee, Friday with a capital stock of $60,000, the company to be known as the Calapooia lnvest- ment Company. The object of the corporation is to place under irriga tion from the Calapooia about ten thousand acres of land comprising what is known as the Camas Swale country, lying east of the S. P. rail road track between the Calapooia and Wilbur. The three incorporators are F. J. Rlakely who is interested in sev eral other important enterprises in this countv; A. K. Caton, a stock holder in the Oakland Bank: and F. B. Waite who owns UK Hi acres of land in the Swale district. The ofliicers are F. .1. Rlakely, pres ident; A. E. Caton, secretary; Lynn Caton, Treasurer: The company has purchased or ac quired options on 1H hi acres in the Swale district, besides the property owned by Mr. Waite. As soon as irri gation is under way the company will place the property on the market. This land is tributary to the towns of Oakland and Wilbur, and the large increase in the settlement thereof means much to those placet as well as the entire countv.

I'wiks Roseburg was accorded an honor Sunday not down on the official program of the Republican vice presi dential candidate's campaign trip through Oregon. At about nine o'clock Sunday morning telegrams were received by K. L Miller, chair man of the Republican Central Com mittee and Hon. I). S. K. Buick, from Congressman Binger Hermann an nouncing that it had been decided by the members of the Fairbanks party to hold their special train at Rose burg that the distinguished party might enjoy a brief respite and quiet ly attend religious services at one of the churches in this city. Although given but little time to prepare for a cordial, but quiet and appropriate re ception of the distinguished visitors, whose special train was due at ten o'clock, one hour from the time the telegram was received, a large crowd of representative citizens had assem bled at the depot to greet the honor ed guests, and a number of carriages were drawn up, which, after an in formal reception, Senator Fairbanks and his party entered and were driven to the Presbyterian church, where they listened attentively to an inter esting sermon on the subject of 'The Resurrection" by the pastor, the Rev. lr.

The alleged poisoning happened near a spring and analysis of the stomachs of some of the sheep is said to have disclosed saltpater and strychnine. The name of the own er could not be learned, nor the motive of the reported deed. The scene is ip one of the remotest portions of Central Oregon, and only slight details reached Lakeview. New York, Sept. --7. Speaking edi torially, the Tribune says : "Judge Parker's letter of acce tance goes far toward demolishing his reputa tion as a irreat jurist capable of sustain ing a logical thoiiKht. It is a lot of din jointed paragraphs seemingly produced without any plan of arrangement, with out any clear-cut conception of problems di cussed and without any definite toli- y to expound Judge I'arker traverses familiar ground of his earlier sH-ech and of democratic editorials without saving anything new or noteworthy except in one particular. On pensions, Judge I'arker does tie come specific and astounding. After insinuating that the president's pension order, with its trifling addition to the pension roll, was a bid for votes and promising, if elected, to revoke it. Judge Parker proceeds to make a higher bid. He promises what is practically a ser vice pension, a thing which has been violently opposed by the leaders and ed itors of hia own party for years, and in deed advocated by few crBons outside of radical Graad Army circles. It is not loo rati di to say that this bid for votes is positively indecent." N. D. in companv with Senator H. C Hansbrough, a brother of our towns man .las. Hansbrough.

Mm White Hair slid that their three hours stay in our city was highly enjoyed and would every be recalled with pleasant memories. Congressman Hermann and Hon. D. S. K. Buick were foremost in making the visit of the distinguish ed party to Roseburg a pleasant one. Senator Fairbanks had little to say on political matters other than that the issues between the Republican and Democratic parties have been de fined by the respective platforms,, and they should be considered in the light of each party's history. Each has been intrusted with power dur ing recent years, and we can fairly and instructively compare their re spective administrations. Things ac complished are far better th.in un demonstrated theories. What the Republican party has done is worth more to us in arriving at au accurate judgment than the promise of what the opposition will do. "The Repnblican party has been in power for more than seven years since the American people voted a wanton confidence in the last Demo ocratic administration, and what it has accomplished and what it is doing becomes properly a subject for con sideration. We can see in what it has done a fulfillment of what it promised to do. It has gone forward in an intelligent, high-minded and pa triotic way to do the business of the people. A party is nothing but the agent of the people. The agent which has demonstrated its fitness and capacity should continue in the discharge of its important work.

He was a warm admirer of President McK inter and supported him vigorously In the critical period connected with the out break of the Spanish war. Jndge Parker's attitude on the pen sion question is not such as to make many votes for him among the old vete rans. His statement that "if many of the soldiers had worked as hard fighting as they had since the war to secure a pension, they might be more deserving of recognition," indicates that in Par ker the old soldier has about as much of a friend and sympathizer as he found in Cleveland. ysMeTTl t )k 1 I ft Bare perfected I e (x !
