ROOEKS, Manager Office--Corner Main and Oak Streets. Just now the Portland Journal is succeeding admirably in making itself rediculous, in its desperate, but futile at tempts to in somewise connect Hon. Binger Hermann with the appointment of Henry Meldrum as surveyor-general, or his irregular official transactions. Mr. Hermann had about as much to do with the appointment or trans actions of Meldrum as the man in the moon, but no one has any particular objections to the Journal man making a fool of himself.

P. Co. have an idea that the busi ness interests of Eugene do not want this service. Why not endeavor to have the service extended through to Roseburg?

Conceding seven of the eight Maryland electors to Parker, the electoral vote will stand Roosevelt 336, Par ker 140. This gives Roosevelt 32 states and Parker 13. In the 32 states Roosevelt's plurality figures 2,895,362; in the 13 states Parker's plurality is 592,866, showing Roosevelt's net plurality to be 2,302,496, as compared with 859,984 for McKinley in 1900. Of the popular vote Roosevelt received 8,401,248 and Parker 6,098,752. It is noticeable that Parker ran behind Bryan's vote of 1900 over 250,000. Another feature of the election is the fact that from 31 of the 45 states there will be no democratic Congress man in the House of Representatives. The House will stand republican 250, democrats 136. Senate, republicans 59, democrats 31. The republican majority in both hous es on joint ballot is 142. These figures compass in small space the unparallel ed popular victory of a Presidential candidate, his plurality being almost as great as the total vote polled by Lin- The hon n antintr boom is on in Orecron. n nether or not this greatly increased acreage will have a tendency to reduce the price of hops in a few years remains to In seen. However, it has been fully demonstrated that hops can be crown materially cheauer in Oregon than in New York or England and the result will be a permanently en larged market for Oregon hops. THEY COURT A FULL INVESTIGATION Eastern Oregon newspapers report that a large num ber of homesteads have been taken up in the country- tributary to Condon since the building of the railroad from Arlington to Condon has been an assured fact. The same thing will happen in many other sections of the interior of Oregon when railroads penetrate that isolated region.

TIHNOKR Of BITOT St. PhTmsm k;, Nov. 20 The Wai Office announced at a late hour b n ylo that it hail no further dispatched re giirdiug the lighting near Mukden. 1 1 the absence of otlicial dispatches, press telegrams are regarded aa evidei ce that important developments are 111 progress and it is not improbable that a genera engagement is going on. I he War Of- tice admits that the activity nil along the line indicates that hotli armies are ready, the Kussians. according to lien Kuropatkiu's report, are preeeiag the Japanese left, while a very significant mov meiit of the Japane.-c is reur'cd at Sintsintin, 4.r miles east of Mukden. A special corresp indent, telegraphing uuiler last night's date, says the t attle has tiegnn ami that the thumb r of the guns is increasing. FRUITS : PROVISIONS There is no vandalism among the Japanese soldiery. All valuables and trinkets found by them on dead Rus sians are forwarded to St. Petersburg. There is honor even in war. and in this contest it lies chiefly with the Japs, a fact that pleads for justice of their cause. The men who own valley lands in Douglas, Josephine and Jackson counties. Oregon, should look out for irriga tion rights. The time is coming when irrigation will add immensely to the productiveness of much of the valley lands of these counties, says the Rural Northwest. The Portland Telegram says: County Judge L. R. Webster will go to Salem this week to attend the Good Roads convention, and while there will probably make an uldrHK in faprir nf a t.hnroncrhfarp from Portland fn t.he Califontfa line, and of inducing the California authorities j his exses11 cotributed to "S . j - , m c c . committee, were 134.300. He can t m This project, which was first broached by Judge Webster last summer, is received with approval in nearly all the counties in the Willamette valley. The idea is to build a mecademized road 60 feet in width, so that an automobilist, a bicyclist or a teamster may journey to the Golden Gate without having to travel on a railroad train or be inconvenienced by bumps on a jerky road. Each county, according to the plan, is to build its share of the road, so that the state at large will not have to pay for the work. It's a good move. stiibsski. s ntarAicn St I'ktkr.siu B;, Nov. 1! neral Sloesse!, in a dispitch In the Emperor, dated Nov. 2, says : "I am happy to report to Your Ma jesty that all the assaults from O t -" toNov. 2 were repul-i-d hv our l.oroic troops.

Germany has joined the happy family of peacef ul na tions now composed of the I'nited States, Italy and France, and has agreed to enter into an arbitration treaty. One of the campaign yarns published prior to the elec tion was a statement that only 22 per cent of the farms in the United States are owned by the farmers who oc cupy them. The last census showed that 64 per cent of the farms in the United States were farmed by their owners in 1900. This is bad enough but it is in large part due to the condition in the Southern States in most of which considerably less than half ef the farms are farmed by their owners. This condition there is due, of course, to the fact that most of the land was in large plantations prior to the war and is now in s large proportion rented in subdivisions to negroes. In most of the Northern and Western states 80 per cent of the farms are farmed by their owners. New York item: A new lawyer has settled in our burg and hung out his shingle. He is Hon. Alton B. Parker, and he hopes to build up a paying practice in our midst. As usual, the Democrats claim that the Trusts bought the states for Roosevelt. Will they be so kind as to expl .in why they bought so many more thaii they needed? An Indiana man was paralyzed while talking over the telephone. The conversation is not known but it was probably his first news of Roosevelt's majority. We have forgotten just what side of the Shakhe river Kuropatkin is on, but he will probably cross again in a few days and report it. The mention of the name, Binger Hermann, has about the same effect on the editor of the Portland Journal, that the waving of a red flag has upon a mad bull. There is this difference, however, the editor of the Journal does not bellow he brays. New York is planning another horse show for the pur pose of giving the Smart Set another privilege of show ing their fall costumes. Said Joaquin Miller: "When Rome wished to conquer a country she first built a good road to it, then through it; tad the conquest was complete and lasting.' There is no Alexander the Great as great as a good road." There is breakers ahead for the Cottage Grove Leader man. He had the audacity to publish some truths in the last issne of his paper concerning the local municipality. It made interesting, yea, sensational reading. The Portland Journal is the Hearst "Examiner" of Ore gon. Bnt there is a good many people who seem to en joy reading fiction even in Oregon. Douglas should have the best county exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Get busy, ye county Com mercial Clubs. Latest reports from the east show nothing is falling around Port Arthur except shells and city lot prices. It was reported that accommodations were impossible for all the applicants for passages up Salt river. Well, we will forgive the Judge for the mean things he said. He has been punished enough. After all Judge Parker shows up pretty well with the rest of the "also ran" class. The world moves. A daily paper is to be started in Grants Pass, by the Herald. Musings. The turkeys are on their last legs. The fall of Esopus was a little ahead of Port Arthur. Oar Democratic friends mistook Gen eral Contentment for General Apathy. David B. Hill's retirement came a lit tle bit sooner than he intended ; bnt its juat at well. Carl Sehurx says there are two Booee- velta. The country evidently wanted to elect them both. Hon.

No wonder Democracy was opposed to the big stick. It will remember that whack it received on November 8th for a 1000 years. The country now understands Gen. Grosveaor's reluctance in giving out his lection forecast. He was ashamed to name the figures.

Democrats tried to "kid" Vice President-elect Fairbanks for being an ice tank. Jnst think what be would have done, had he become warmer. Gardiner went "dry " at tne election and Scottaburg; "wet." The Gardiner saloons will probably move to Scotts burg. Bcottsburg will thus not only be the head of navigation, but the "end of navigation" for some. Those Geisha Git la who have been dis porting themselves at St. Louis for the edification of the people who wanted to see them will in turn now be deported. Well, the refusal of permission of their tonring the country will aave many a baldheaded old sinner the necessity of racking his brain for some excuse for staving out late. You can tell a successful farmer by looking at the wife's fruit in the closet.

But the easiest thing of all, you can . tell the enterprising merchant by a glance at the local papers. This is not divine revela tion, but business and gospel truth. Cabinet Nettles Free. The Journal will send free to any reader of this paper a cabinet of needles all siaas and kinds, who remits 60 cents for the Daily and Sunday Journal for one month, or the Bunday Journal for four months, or the Semi-Weekly Jour nal for five months, or the Weekly Jour nal for six months. Address The Journal, Portland, Ore, Hatpin a Dangerous Weapon. Monday afternoon a ''nng nun trav eling north on the overland train from Ashland as a passenger sat in a seat with a yonng lady who had her hat in her lap. Playfully, to emphasize some conversation, she pointed the hatpin toward him, moving it in his direction, and the swaying of the car caused it to inflict a wound in the left side under the arm. The young man's arm is now in a swollen and disabled condition in consequence. Georgia Harper and Company in "The Power of Love."

The self confessed irregularit ies of a few unscrupulous timber cruisers in Southern Oregon has evidently been taken as evidence of wholesale fraud and the Portland Journal anil a few newspaper correspondents seem to have based their late allegations and "findings" principally upon the testimony of these self confessed swindlers and timberland sharks.
