" PORTLAND NEEO NOT BE , r; '- JEALOUS. Portland need not be Jealous of Seattle or ether Sound city. Portland need only Await the passing of year to witness the demonstration, that her location and re sources exceed those of any other city on the Coast, with the exception of Callfor .Two elements enter into the making of great cities local resources and tribute upon passing commerce. By these testa. ' Portland stands "prlnclpes facllls, and .this will bo proven In duo time. "Local resources. Of a given tract of , land representative Of averages near the Cities of Portland and Seattle or Ta--cemai ths proportion of arable land to the quarter section Is much more here than that of the Bound cities. . Passing commerce. There is at least . no advantage possessed by Seattle or Ta- corn la this respect. Htars are--truths that force themselves home to tbe man of normal thought and opportunities fof observation. They per mlt complacency on the part of Poit- . landers. . , x Tet, there may be not that sort of complacency that causes the possessor to sit dowa with folded hands, and put forth no exertkm. Natural advantages re not enough to make great cities, There must be industry, life, vigor, push - progress, alertness, ginger, snap and en terprise. There must be wideawake men and women to search out opportunity for advancing the city's interests. Oregon just how pulsates with life, and has be gun its forward march. It is here the coming development will occur. Other states have had their periods of extraordi nary activity. Oregon has, yet had none. That period la a: Us Inception. The coming years will witness such progress as will compensate for the' long waiting. Nothing can stop It, It Is in the air. And nothing can prevent the wonderful advancement that our position and re source warrant, excepting apathy on the part of the people. And as encourage, Meat for the display of needed enterprise. let it be noted that we of Portland are at no disadvantage over the people of 'other el ties. We need never apologize for what has been placed here jby Nature nor Tor Where we have been placed. All Is la our favor. FUTHER 8TREET . CAR EXTEN SIONS. ; It wll" be gratifying1 to the people of the city to learn that the City A Suburban Company propose .to extend their lines and buUd new branches in various parts Of Portland. The oompany will thus as sist, to provide what must be given to modern cities, in affording transportation to suit the needs of expansion, .The trolley car has been of paramount Importance to the latter-day city. It has brought localities outlying within reach of the business district, and practically mattes the suburbanite a resident of the .center. A the transcontinental road is to the nation, so la the trolley road to the municipality. Tbe City & Suburban Company proposes additions to the sen-ice already given, and the. additions will do much for Portland. Besides the expenditure of money for the Improvements, the existence of the new lines, mil operate to increase Portland's territory that is available to the stores and olUees, and there will be benefit to both company and people. CONSTRUCTION OF ORGANIC , ' ' LAW. The Chicago Journal pertinently ob terves that something is wrong when so much court machinery Is required to In terpret constitutions. Another writer thinks . that there should be no oew constitution for the state of Illinois, for the reason that an amount of labor hM.IlpeJha- securing interpre tive ruling on the instrument, and that. there Were a new one, U of this trealth of Judicial lore would be value- The Ortgan Journal believes there is simple principle that might clarify the atf mosphere' whenever constitutions sure be framed, and obviate So much of que Honing of the an uitng 'of such ' docu ments. Suppose the Ten , Command menu be taken for an Illustration. They constituted a system of orgaaie law for the Hebrews, and are perhaps as great legal utterance as ever came from law giver. Yet, there Is TltUe doubt of what they moan, "Thou shall not ateal. What plainer law was e-rer enacted, or what constitutional proviaioa ever re quired lees study to interpret? There is not one of the ten that children cannot understand. Is short, the Ten Com mandments are ideal organic lew, for they say what must be and what must not be, and say It Without equivocation It may be regarded as slightly face tious thus to cite the laws given on the mountain to Moses to deliver to the Is raelites, yet there may be no doubt that they are framed as all constitutional taw should be framed. Constitutions certainly should express general principles, not details of govern mental matters. Statutes are for that Oregon's constitution, when reformed, might well be wrought out along this line. ONLY TWO SITES DEBATED, fJThere are practically only two sites left for serious consideration for the fair site, The City Park has been almost finally eliminated from the discussion, and the Interest centers upon Willamette Heights snd Hawthorne Perk. The manifest Inaccessibility of the City Park for the transportation of freight and passengers into the grounds served to quiet agitation for that locality even by those who originally advocated it. The Journal understands that there are al most no persons now Insisting that the fair should go to the City Park. There .are several other good sites, .Haw tltorne Park, City View Park, Abrams sc Knox tract and University Park. Each one has offered Inducements that have caused hesitation before making final de cision. The fact that the debate has nar rowed to only two sites, for -It is the gen eral belief that it will be cither Willam ette Heights or Hawthorne, Is satisfac tory to the people of the city. It is worth while tq call' attention to one thing In this connection, and that la. that the fair should go' where it will foe easiest and most quickly reached by the members) of Portland buslneas houses who may have exhibits Jhere and w ha, will therefore desire often to attend or to take country customers to visit, the exposition. It is desirable that the wholesalers and other big merchants of the wholesale dls. trlct be able to go to the fair with minimum of effort. Of course, this is not sufficient to determine what site shall be selected, for there are doaens of other considerations, but It is worth notice. It Is probable that Hawthorne rWk or fers more advantages than do any of the others. ALASKA'S PURCHASE. The presence in Portland of Mr. Fred erick W. Seward, son of the late Wil liam H. Seward, revives the history of i the purchase of Alaska. It was through the advocacy of the Secretary of State, W. H. Seward, who served in Lincoln's Cabinet, that Alaska was bought. The sequence has vindicated that advocacy. The United States has been compensated beyond the claims of Seward, and the Secretary's move is conceded now to have been wisely conceived. The Peninsula of Alaska has produced millions of wealth, and Its resources have scarcely been prospected. The fisheries alone have fully paid for the cost of pur chase, and that la- but one of many In dustries that have been developed. Few people not personally acquainted with the region ltseir nave adequate ideas con cerning the vast territory comprised with in the limits of Alaska, It Is large enough to be a continent, and furnishes field for investigation for scientist and scholar. xce stampedes or the past few years have brought to light the possibilities of the territory, and from this time on there will be rapid progress In the work of development. This work will orry the territory to a stagre which will mightily exceed the most extravagant dreams of the man who insisted that this country make the purchase. LABOR AND INJUNCTION. There is Involved In the matter of court injunctions against labor leaders who strive to influence men to cease work for a given concern and go out upon a strike, a principle that Is greater than the technicalities of law. It goes to hu man liberty, and calls In question the right of men to go among their fellows and talk with them regarding what is their wisest course. It affects personal Independence. . It is not the purpose here to reflect upon an court decision, and it cannot be argued that none of the Injunctions Is sued against laborers for tbe cause men tioned havo been good law. That is, good legal interpretation of ex isting law. , But, '-. there is something wrong with the law when It Is possible for a court to inhibit Intercourse be tween men In the manner referred to, and; if such decisions are good law, then the law should JwJtifiFi1? ::' There should be this determining prln- clple that there be -no violence, nor any thing that Interferes with the rights of the employing Interest. The employer is to I entitled , to, full recognition and protee tioa. But, so also is the laborer entitled to recognition of the right to go among his fellows and plead with them to sup port or reject a certain policy, . And any thing that proposes to restrict him Jo this right is subversive of the American Idea of individual liberty. In the appointment of delegates to the Mining Congress at Butte to be held In September, It will be well if men be named who have large experience in prao flcal mining. Many excellent delegates have gono from Portland and Oregon heretofore, yet often have gone men who knew about as much of mining as His Satanic Majesty knows about water that has been consecrated. There are men who are actually mining, men who know all about the industry, men who stand as high in the mining world as any In the country who might go from Oregon were they appointed delegates. They should be appointed, and the suggestion Is hereby offered to Mayor Williams, as he names his' IS to go from Portland. Yesterday to be a Roman was greater than, to be a king; today, no one so hum ble as to do a Tracy homage. DIVERSIONS FOR "DESERT" STOCK MEN. The real stock range of the Pacific Northwest Is called a ' desert." It Is for every inch vegetation of not a desert,' however, of the toll produces some kind, and with water it will pro duce anything that grows from the ground. The casual traveler through this region Is struck with the idea that it is a monotonous country, and wonders how the stockmen find diversion ffflm the rou tine life. Loag stretches of country with out a human habitation, a cold biting wind In winter and dust whirlwinds in summer; the days made dismal by the bleating of eheep and the nights made hideous by the howling of 'coyotes; the long hours of thirst and the poorly pre pared meals, are all reckoned In summing up the gloomy side. But the stock range has many diver sions. To the vigorous, searching mind It is an unexplored Held. A thousand things are found to Interest and instruct 'fhe range of tbe North Pacific Coast country is one of the most interesting countries In U world. It has more won ders than any section of its sise In the world. It la the scientist's and student's paradise. The great historical ituidmarks, the Indian battlegrounds, the old Qovern- ment forts, rock pillars that extend high hah fAnmn.c t.rAM k. ..a .1 heavenwards,- rivers that rise up out of the sands of the "desert" rivers that lose themselves as mysteriously in the sands as they appear, therefrom; great area of lava beds, interesting cavern stored with ice in the very heart of the desert, lakes that rival the world for beauty end lakes that rival the Dead Sea as wonder; game and wild animals that would make the sportman's heart leap with excitement and fish that would tempt the most deep-seated pessimist to try his luck; hot springs in which hogs are scalded and in which the aborlglnles did their cooking; a book full of things that should Instruct and amuse, and all of these surrounded with snow-capped mountains, whose sides are covered with beautiful forests and whose beds are com poked or rich minerals, make it one of the most Interesting countries under the sun. Instead of Its being a monotonous country It is pregnant with Interest, and the man who visits It never for gets it and longs to visit It again There is not an hour that the stock man may not find a diversion from his work, and not only enjoy It but find Instruction in it Outside of a few months of solitude In company with a band of sheep on tbe winter range, the shcepherder has as good a chance for diversion as any other phlnsmuu, and while on the range at this season of the year he has. hourly. opportunities every day for diversion, for his life, instead of being a monotonous one, I.i filled with excitement; the dls tunt band of antelope flashing like mir rors in the desert sun, the skulking coy ote ever rtady to pounce down upon his band, the ever faithful dog ready to do nis bidding; the stories with the camp tender at night, the game of cards after supper, the disturbed sheep and fhe coy ote howl at night, furnish him all the dl-ei-sion that the bright student of life needs and all men this day and time are or should be nothing more than students of the wonderful surroundings that are so Interesting to all who have eyes to see and brains to comprehend. East Ore- gonlan THE VALLEYCHANGES. The conditions in the Willamette Valley are changing much faster than is gen erally supposed, and the change is sure to go on with much greater rapidity in the near future. The dairying industry Is partly responsible for this. Although the number of good cows properly fed and milked has enormously increased in the Willamette Valley of late, the growth in this department of diversified farming (the most important part) may be said to have only fairly commenced. Every creamery in the . Valley is prosperous. Every one of them Is increasing Its put- put, and many new ones are projected. . It Is time now for the beginning of packing houses In Portland. If the farmers can be assured of having a ready and reliable market for -their hogs, at top prices, they wltt naturally prepare to raise more and better hogs. The packing house period is about here, and the sooner the packing-houses are provided the soon er will there be plenty of bogs raised here to kec4 them running.

Indianapolis tuu. HORSE SAVES TWO GIRLS- - Agnes and Pelulne Bain of 'Upton, IndC aged 1 and IV years, 'respectfully, at tempted to ford Ctvero Creek on horse back the other day." The horse's feet be came entangled and he threw the girls In to the stream. ' Pauline had sunk twice when her sister caught her by the hair and the horse swam to them. The elder sister caught the beast by the tail with one hand, and; holding Pauline with the trther. they reached the shore safely. The horse started home on a gal lop and neighed as M In great trouble. which attracted the attention of its owner on Its arrival. The animal Immediately whirled around and went in the direction of the little airls with areat rapidity, with the parents in pursuit, and they were met making their way homeward bound. The horse ran up to thm, rubbed bis bead on tbe little ones' shoulders and nickered as If he Was very glad they were alive. Only a short time ago Mr. Bain offered the animal to a dealer for $100, but the sale Was not consummated. Since the hereto deed of the animal In saving his daughters lives he refuses any price, and avers that at the death of the animal a monument will mark his grave. Margaret E.

In the" city for a few days, thence on to the coast, where they will remain a week or more. When asked about Baker City and county, Mr. Bowen replied: ; "Oregon Is one of the best states in ths Union, and Baker Is the best county In the state. The inexhaustible mineral supply makes it the equal of any other county of the state Jn a sense of wealth. to which must be added our vast for ests of timber and .the agricultural area not excelled In quality anywhere.;' ,. Mr- Bowen is aa enthusiast to regard to the immigration matter, which is just now receiving to much attention by the railroads and the commercial bodies. "This Is the first business-like effort made by the people here to Induce Im migration, and t am pleased that the work is being taken ip with such seal,'' said Mr. Bowen- "There will be 50,000 people added to our population within the next year by reason ' of this movement . The spirit . of progress is just beginning to manifest itself., and the future looks bright indeed." M ' " BACK FROM ALASKA, O. W. Dunbar, a pioneer newspaper man of this state, whs has been In busi ness in Alaska since tbe gold excite ment first began, passed through the pity yesterday for Pendleton, where he goes with a view to locating Dunbar, estab- Ushed the Brat dafly,Wr In the north- ' , " eyi country, being- the Daily Alaskan, at Sksgway, In-VFebmary, 1898. Ha after wards established 1 another dally there, the Budget, but both have ceased te be. Mr, Dunbar says that 'fikagway has -enjoyed the full limit f Its greatness, and will no longer be a business point of any importance, more than a mere landing place for the steamers and the cargoes of freight on its way to interior points. "The railroad killed Skagway," said Mr. Dunbar. He maintains, however, that Alaska is the wealthiest ' territory we possess, and- that the developmnt of the mineral wealth has only begun. NO MONEY IN FISH. "The fishing business on the Colum bia this year is a flat failure," declared Martin Both, of Rainier, to Thjg Journal man yesterday evening. Mr. Both Is in a position to better judge' the situation than anybody on the river, and his state ments may be considered correct, as he is now and has been engaged In the salmon shipping buslnes for the past 12 or 16 years. ' There Is too much competition between the cannerymen and the coldstorage operators, and until they get together neither of them will be able to make a cent" said he. "So far as the fisher men are concerned, they are making s great deal more than any other contin gent of the salmon business. They are receiving 6 cents a pound for fish, and as the run this season is extraordinarily good the men are doing well. "As an example of how profitable the business Is for the packers it Is only necessary to say that on every case of "tails" put up there is a loss of 40 cents. This may seem unreasonable in the1 face of the fact that the canners continue to pack "talis," but there is some demand for them, and there has to be a certain quantity prepared for the, market This loss is retrieved on tbe sale of "flats," but not to a degree to make the business profitable." Mr. Both is the representative-elect from Columbia County, and he is looking forward to the work of the next session of the Legislature with the expectation that some good legislation for the benefit of the state will be unacted. One of the particular things Mr. Both is Interested in is the passage of an enabling act granting the people of his county the privilege of voting on the location of the county seat. Such a bill Mr. Both will Introduce at the earlest possible moment On the senatorial question there-was an unwillingness on the part of Mr. Both to be communicative, but enough was said to Indicate that he will support State Senator Fulton for that high' office. GARLANDS ABSURD POSE Contemporary critics have frequently poked the pen of ridicule at Hamlin Gar land for Ms recent wild and wobbly tales of an Impossible West, but photographic evidence of that writer's tumble into ab surdity is but new going the rounds in the form of a half-tone picture of the. posing author seated in a real Indian tepee, clad in the toggery ,t a defunct savage' and smoking a yard-long- Indian pipe. Nothing further is needed to dem- onstrate Mr. Garland's truckling to tin horn idiocy for love of parade. It would be less removed from the ' absurd . for Mark Twain to pose for a picture, "neces sarily for publication." attired la the scanty garments of Huckleberry Fin, or I for Edwin Markham to pose as the hoe- I man-cither would at least lend the right color to- the senseless Impersonation, Our f 10-year-old, healthy confidence in Garland It Very, very 111 indeed Falrhaven Times.

THE LARGER CHRISTIANITY Judging by statistics from many of its so-called institutions and statements of their mouthpieces, Christianity would seem to bo on the wane, but to shake off the delusive artifices of what may prop erly be termed the religious traffic, and to include in our .mental scope all those things now in very active operation for no purpose but fo enlarge and improve the religious side of man's nature Insd tutlons, associations and conditions that in their very nature are conducive to real spiritual and soul development the decline in church attendance and support is no evidence Whatever that real Chris tianity, in every essential that the term implies. Is deteriorating. On the con trary 1C is fast gaining and In Its growth is administering a much-deserved omu tlaement upon a large' self-seeking ele ment, who. In blind and slavish adherence to the practices of pure business sugges- slon, are, unconsciously perhaps, but none the less truly, barricading against the results of tbe essential.-doctrine of the lowly Nazarine. All this may seem a severe arraign. ment of the church, but it is not nor is It so intended. The force of. Ingersoll's attacks were not against Christianity as an ideal, but against the hypocracy which he mistook for Christianity, and.it.ja true today, and ministers and church members know it that far too large a portion of the energy of modern religious teachers Is wasted in trying to prove that their church is near er right than some one else's church or that man Is Improved and saved by vir tue of some empty and senseless formal ity. Wfiile a majority of the shining lights of the church are thus sparring for ad vantage the soul of true religion Is leav ing their once hallowed sanctuaries and the fair name of the church Is fast be coming. a synonym for something worthy only In its antiquity. Meanwhile are the vital life forces which found truest verbal expression through their personified instrument the Christ, in any way losing their potency? Not at all. , Let us look for our examples of real Christian work, however. In other directions than those whose real estate primarlly embodied the germ of every one. Let us search the records of our secret and fraternal societies, labor or ganization's and every other association that has made for the improvement of conditions for all the children of men. Christianity, if It shall mean anything in the future, must recognize and perform the practical work contained In the mean ing of the golden rule and every other essential utterance of Its founder Instead of confining Itself to the task of merely securing a dally or weekly profession of belief In snd love for God. All this be lief and love must have far greater ex pression than words and that expression is in evidence In many an association to day which could quite properly have been born in the church but instead, has had its most strenuous opposition. Some church workers complain that fraternal societies are a menace Because tney are doing a work that belongs to the chjurch, A sorry situation, truly, when the church misses Its greatest opportunity and then com plains because others attend to it Some will say we should not talk so or we shall be set upon as heretics and blasphemers, because we will injure the prospects of the church. If the price of Christian virtue and the growth of the soul of man is the extermination of what we call the church, let us exterminate it arfd that quickly. ... .. - . But such are not the conditions. The world is becoming cognizant of a larger Christianity and the church itself is in the position to reap ths-largest possible results. Like those of the pure maiden, its misteps must be magnified, though It has not committed the unpardonable sin, nor been guilty of .anything worse than that which has1 permeated all eoclety. We mistake greatly when we regard- the church as intended to be a positive ideal or a perfect portrayal of essential Chris tian doctrine. 1 Like the . entire world, It Is but a school, and It. IS composed -of Boholars of every- trait and propensity.; A realization of the larger Christianity, which Is fast taking,, possession 'of ths racei and : universe, and which is a re sult of the conspiracy ot the real ' vir tues of every human organization as personified Instruments of the vital and universal forces" pf -life, and progress, must needs be felt, and are UUelr beinsr bftB Dotal Chslr Dental Parlors St., Portland, Ore.
