"WE ARE RRETIIREX. AN EVENT recently occurred in the United States Senate which well nigh escaped the notice of this busy American Nation, but whlcti -will surely And an enduring place In the literature of this country. It was tho farewell speech of Senator Gor don of Mississippi. This golden hearted old gentleman Horn Dixie Lund occupied his place in the Senate for only sixty days and at the close of his brief career he made a speech that might be epitomized in three words, taken from It: "We are brethren." The League of Republican Clubs of New York has proposed "to com memorate his patriotic appeal and fulfill his heart's desire by undertak ing to organize a memorial commit tee, with the Intent to provide for the orectlon of monumental tablet ai Hho most suitable location on Mason and Dixon's line, not as a partisan or sectional offering, but as a contri bution, from every sympathetic Am erican." That other grand old man from the same state, tho lato Mr. L. Q. C. Lamar, said over the bier of Charles Sumner in 1874: "My countrymen, let us know one another and we will lovo ono another." Tho American Nation needs tho sentimont of these two Bplcndld Southern gentlemen; every stato in this Nation needs It; ovory city and community needs it; and Coos Bay needs it. If all of tho evils which beset this beautiful .and promising place of our homes could bo summed up In one great and all compassing evil, it would bo that we do not know each other; tho lnek of unity of spirit, the uttor want of organization and con certed thought and effort among the men who hnvo mndo this city what It now Is, nnd who hold its future destiny in their hands. JTo greater blessing could come upbn this community now than for Bomo strong man to rise up in our Tnlflst who Is groat enough, strong lough, and wise enough to assemble 'ound his own magnetic personality o disintegrated forces of this coin V.unlty and direct them, In the spirit of civic patriotism, along the broad lilghwny of progress at tho end of which lies tho city beautiful Coos Bay of tho future. IS IT NOT SENSIBLE? II. BENNETT of Chicago has ar rived in Portland to take a po ' sit Ion with tho Portland chic leaguo nt a salary of $."00 per mouth. Ho will bo engaged for at least a year Jn working out the "City Beautiful" jtrogram. He starts out with a fund ot ?20,000 at the disposal of the IwiKue. There aro pnoplo who will scoff and unoer nt this proposition. They will eay It Is absurd to try to do anything nlonic the line proposed by the city beautiful league. But why is the scheme uot practicable? Portland hB not reached th limit of Its vrowth. it will continue to advance 51 s the northwMt becomes gf' tied and In due time will no doubt attain the 3,500,000 population of which the livle linmip d roams. Thru why not trv to t-hape this growth so as to pro. mot the maximum development and nt tho name time make the city pleas lug to tho eye? In Portland had a civic leaguo been loruied man years ago that placa d not be cursed with narrow Bii-etts; there might bo a subway under the river thus obviating some of the bridges that now block navi gation on tho Willamette; Portland might now have its long sought gar bage crematory and the city would not have to pay the fabulous sum It Is required to pay for park sites. In the view of this paper the Port land chic league should be able to accomplish much good and a similar league in Marshfleld could likewise find much to do. Marshfleld is also going tOido some building. Why not pay some attention to the architec ture? A man would not erect a big building without having the scheme worked out by an architect. Why should a city build without reference to any plan? 21iNiS! LETTERS ARE SECURED. Are Considered Important Evidence Against C. A. Smith. PORTLAND, Ore., April 2S. The Journal says:: The government de livered its most telling blow In the trial of the first of three cases against C. A. Smith, Minnesota lumber man, and others, today In United States circuit court by the Introduction of personal letters from C. A. Smith to S. A. D. Puter which tended to show knowledge on the part of the defend ants that tho 33 Linn county timber claims, patents to which the United States attorney is endeavoring to can cel, were illegally obtained. The first of the letters were one written to Puter by Smith In June, 1900, advising him that the best course would be to buy off the North ern Pacific railroad, which at that time was contesting the right of 56 entrymen, who were solicited by Pu ter, Horace McKinley and Dan W. Tarpley, to patents. Smith Informed Puter that the contests had been run ning for four months and that a com promise would be tho best move. When S. A. D. Puter, who was op erated upon foran abscess in the throat in Scranton, Pa., arrives Mon day and is put on the stand, he may testify that following Smith's instruc tions, he compromised with the rail way companj by turning over to them about 27 claims. His testimony is expected to bo the most startling in troduced and on him tho government will depend to show up the organiza tion of the Linn-Lane Timber Co., to which the patents were transferred by the Smith family. Many other letters and telegrams which were put In the record by the district attorney served to connect n. A. Smith, Frederick A. Krlbs, and S. A. D. Puter. Puter's fraudulent me hod of obtaining claims by means of paid entrymen Is admitted by the defense and It has been shown that Krlbs furnished money with which Puter and McKinley paid the entry men. Now all that is necessary for victory for the government Is the showing that Krlbs acted as Smith's agent, if such were true, and that both agent and master knew of the fraud practised in obtaining the tim ber land. Puter, Mr. McCourt Inti mated in court, would provide the missing link. His testimony Is looked forward to with Interest.
