Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington Rain; possibly part mow, WHY IS THIS? There has been a great hue and cry for months past of the spevial tourist rates from the East that were to pre vail ntt si! tliA irana-fvint tiientiit line J of these disclosure they would remain after the lth of rebrmaryj but we fail I tluna iu the country, and tlmt if there kIi iii, iu a police t'ine, we able to eluvk it and Iwj) it at a mini mum.

Nlic i jMHuly pulieed and has been, for year. and the conviction mn-t be humiliating at this period of utmost tiecesMty, - 0 "CRIMINAL AND SILLY RICH." Our indite and refined society must wharf the shame of its scavengers. Town Topics would have died of inanition long ago had it not Wen (or the criuil mil rich and the fitly rich. The tW- eln, swollen with ill gtitten gains, men who buines is gambling and swind ling, and whose pastime U vice, have furnished abundant material for aala ciuoH pars irr;i)h; and, when attacked beyond endurance, have paid handsome1 ly for being let alone. Their troubles however, are primarily due to their own guilt. The silly rich are the ones whose plight is pitiful. Thev are often inno cent, well meaning folk. With a guile lesnes that approaches imbecility, they suppose that they gain dUtinction when, their names are printed in the society columns of Town Topic and other newitnaner. and when they are aked to suWrihe to the ridiculou "Fads and Fancies of the Four Hun divd." A 3-year-old girl artlessly dis playing a new ribbon is a model of dignity aud reserve compared with the grown women who give descriptions of their gowns to society reporters and who thrill with pride when the lists of their guests are thrust before the pub lic. It is upon the bad taste, the ignor ance and the vanity of this tribe of the witless that Mann and Peudel have fat tened. By fluttering, cajoling and threatening those who have everything but sound judgment, they have made Town Top and its allied ventures a gold mine. It was like stealing eandy from a baby. If our silly, rich are in capable of taking to heart the lesson to note any remarkable access of their advertising in the press of Oregon, California papers are full to the brim of them, and it begins to look as though Oregon was being discriminated against by the Western Railway concern; this is the case, we should be pleased to see something tangible along this line p. d. q. STAND PAT, EVERYBODY I Thi is no convention year, and con vention rules are not applicable to the "political situation, in any camp. The people and the nominees are arranging things this year, with the people in the eat of judgment. There is no appeal to the bosses, nor to would-be bosses. It is a case of "hands off" and "stand pat." After the 20th of April there may be a chance for disappointed the "or .ganizer" and partisan "leader" to work hji reprisals by circumventing the sue oess of the chosen candidate, but for the preent he Is not In It with the primary law. And in this connection it may be well to say that the Astorian it convinced, in relation to the popular choice of the federal senatorial candi date, to be evidenced by the returns on the primary ballots, that there are cer tain to be two leading candidates in this case, one from the Republican vot en and another from those of Demo-' cratic persuasion; and it rest with the respective partisans tb dispose of the situation in regard to the popular choices so made as their consciences shall dictate under the terms of the Direct Irimary Law. That either of these two candidate shall have receiv ed a majority of the peoples' vote for this great dignity, imposes 110 obliga tion on the partitn to support an oppo sition candidate, and he will not do it. however express 41 ud certain the lan guage of the edict. He may feci im pelled to support the leading candidate .of HIS PARTY, in this regard, in the legislature and out of it, but lie will never concede that he is required to boost an opponent even if the returns shall indicate that opponent to be the majority choice of the people. 0 FACING THE INEVITABLE. Portland Is up against the real thing in the way of criminal aeceRS conse quent upon the great fair.

A New Magazine for You I am bringing out another new magazine that you will come pretty close to liking.

II is not in keeping with a reputation for that careful use of statistics which should mark a newspaper of some com mercial pretensions when a New York contemporary remarks that this whole railroad-rates agitation is the Preai ident's work," As a matter of fact, there has been a more-or-less popular agitation of this question for at least two decades and State after State has enacted laws dealing with it. National enactment was sought and secured some nineteen years ago. The intent of that legislation was rendered practically null and void by ccrtjin court decisions; and the agitation was, in consequence, again renewed. The absolute importance of legislation on the subject is proved by the frequency with which it rises to the surface of legislative consideration. Preidont Roosevelt has simply recog nized the seriousness of the subject in way that no President before him had done. N. Y. Commercial. 0 NO PROFIT IN IT. l he Jtcptihiu-tin primary election in April should be conducted, along clean, friendly lines. The candidate who re sorts to mud 'throwing will not profit bv such a course. 0 When Pennsylvania enforce pure food laws, the bad little manufacturers call in that crop in joblters hands (to be shipped with rare) and laud their newer concoction. With timely adver tising of the latter product and posses sion of the condemned one, the b. I. is in position to receive Pennsylvania orders and to fill those from less particular states.

It is an idea on which we have been working for several years, and for which we have teen gathering materials. We have bought hundreds and hundreds of scrap books from all over the country, some of them a century old, and are still buying them. From these books we are gathering and classifying an enormous number of gems, and facts arid figures, and ' historical and personal bits that are of rare value. Furthermore, we have a corps of peo ple ransacking libraries, reading all the current publications, the leading daily papers, and digging out curious aud quaint facts and useful facts and figures from reference book, cyclopedia, etc., etc. Don't fail to get a copy of this first issue of THE SCRAP BOOK.
