The East Portland Vindica tor Miys the main part of a 50,- 000 subsidy has already been raised by the democrats of Ore gon to be given to W. it. Hearst, of the Sun Francisco Examiner, for the purposn of starting a duplicate edition of the Daily Examiner in Portland to compete with tho Oregoniiin. Tho Vindicator is sanguine that such a paper would drive the Orcgoiiiau to the wall, as it thinks the hitter paper has made many powerful enemies in the past few years. C. M. Itoby, preeeiit postmanter at Portland, is to be the editor of the neu paper, with an able stall" of as bistants. What (loneral llutler says of a future admission of ("i rent llritain into thu Pnion with the I'nited States and Canada, and of its far-reaching influences is interesting as a philosophic geu cralization. Such an alliance of the English-speaking nations, he says, would bo able to bid defiance to nil Europe ami Asia. The I'liited States ami (treat lirittiin, haviug none else to fear might disponse with their two costly navies, and thus take the lead in a general ilisarma meiit. Much of this may t regarded, for the present at least, as belonging to tho region of I'topia nither than to practi en! statesmanship. lint com plot n riciprocity between tho I'nited States and Canada would he a great stride toward politi cal union, ami might lead in the iuimaiim i,,m..v nf Sun A Correct KxnUnat ion.

Of coureu the far mer don't want to he small bout it and he says all right. Soon his 1,000 bushels of wheat ifo gone, hut ho has little motl ey to show for it ami tho fanner then lvalue that ho has fritter ed away his whole wheat crop ami that, its value is duo him in a thousand little dribbles, con sequently he is suriotrsly em Imrrsbed in his business. Be cause his debtors each owing only one dollar, treat it in a small matter and of course think it would not help much.

Ex , - For oh I fires nro raging through out thu whole northwest coast. In Montana, whoro timber in scarce and far moro vniuublo than in Oregon and Washington, tens of thousands of acres are being denuded of forests of mil lions of dollars value. All along the Cascade range there are fires which are doing an immense amount of damage. Theso lires aro the won; of hunters who of ten start them out of sheer wan tonness. The hunters who do the incondiary work are general ly thoso who slaughter deer at all seasons of the year for their hides. During the summer months these vandals leave the carcasses of their prey to servo as food for the wolves ami buzzards. This is of ibiolf a crime but far more damage is done to the in terest of the public by the deci mation of timber by firoa. Hon est frontiersmen who livo far hack in the mountains know the larlies who thus trespass the aw, but thev fear to incur their resent meivt by informing on them. A settler who owned a small ranch ou the mountain side in .laclvKin county, appeared as a witness against a couple of mis creants who were illegally killing deer. They were convicted and sent to jail for a term of three months. As soon as they weru released they went back to tluir criminal practice again. The man who was a witness against them had a team of two horses which were the chief wupport of himself and family. One morn ing one of these horss were miss ing. After koarelnng several days he found the animal dead, with a bullet hole in his head. Thus are are icople terrorized by the lawless srouiidrcls and they are generally n rmitted to pur sue their vo'-iiti'iii unmolested. The next h gislatniv should enact a law with a penult v so severe that it would cause incendiaries to tremble at the thought of the consequences of the detection.
