ONE PROMI8E OF THE NEW CHARTER. When the pew Portland charter has been enacted finally, and put Into oper- atton, It will be. possible to accomplish something for the Improvement of .the street. Until the Legislature has author ized tee new instrument, the work of In proving the streets cannot begin. . .However, delay In formulating plans need Pdt occur, and, indeed, should be avoided. It I needful that first plans be thoroughly cone over and the best searched out. It Is in no spirit of fault-flnding that ",The Journal suggests that city authorities of Portland have never systematically . studied the street making problem to conclusion. The most convincing evidence of this assertion being truth is the con ditlon'of the streets. It Is putting It mildly; to say that there are few cities of Portland's sice and Importance In the country that have such wretched streets But. of course, so obvious a fact need DO elaboration here. The wayfaring man ; 'and every other sort of. man cannot ... avoid this conclusion every time he walks Portland's streets, and as to riding, no ' one, excepting the most reckless, aver risk so perilous experience. - Fending the. adoption of the charter by the legislature, there could be the levins- of plans. This should begin at , once. Information on the subject could be given the public, for moat sensible - persons realise that It is better to tell the people , all about contemplated inv provements. The Journal takes the liberty to reiter ate what la baa said on former occasion! urgjeg thorough exploitation of the var lous methods of street making and the roet thereof. That there is Imperative douand for this preliminary investigation end 'discussion cannot truthfully bC tie- Hied. The situation is such as to coun eel prompt beginning and vigorous treat- it tnant of thla Important subject STATE FAIR EXHIBIT8. " M. D. Wisdom, secretary of the State ,."!.' W..'i...U.I.I..

As newer before in the history of the state, people are Iter from all parts of tb Union and Canada, to see what Ore gon has to offer them to Induce a Changs of locaion. They are coming and going on, every train. They are in an inquiring frame of mind and are even anxious to : be convinecd that Oregon offers superior . attractions for homeseekers. f if. It will be necessary however, to show tbtra upon every possible occasion what i liaa been dun here and what miiv ha dobe here. The State Fair will attract tham. They Will want to know about it, and will visit it. Hence, the Stat Fair should be the best ever given. The fair last fall wa excellent. It war highly creditable. The fair of 180! should excel that of 1901, jrbed a was the latter. To this end i every county In Oregon can afford to . contribute. There will be good return. 3 It l will pay. It will not pay to neglect It- The State Fair officers should have liberal response to their appeal, and now Is the' time to begin preparations. The Journal 'fcrge the counties to attend U the matter. , ? THE COYOTE BOUNTY LAW. ' Thi East Oregonlau suggests that West ' erh 1 Oregon opposes the coyote scalp bounty law because the benefits accrue to Eastern Oregon. , However it may be on tha pr of some, there should be no such factionalism Injected Into tha discussion, rhe lua goes to the benefit so the region in which coyote live and ravage tha band of sheep. . If it be proven AnaJU ty and conclusively, that tba destruction if coyote and snlmala of that species ki for it raUt toed to lb great- est number of people In tba portion of the state' wherein coyotes are numerous,' then ought Western Oregonlau to support the law and retain It on the statute book. . " There ha been difference) of oplnloa in Eastern Oregon-on the relative) benefltf of the bounty law. Borne navo asserted, that, while sheep interests are helped, others are injured by the operation, of tho law. The killing of coyotw doubUtas permits the marvelous Increase In Jackrabblts, which destroy flelda ad va rain pas tures. That this la true, cannot be truth fully denied. It is patent to all who are acquainted wit tba condition la Eastern Oregon. Destruction of the Coyote, there. fore, aa related to th whole Eastern Ore gon country, is helpful to one Interest and harmful to another. It Is a matter of . 1 ' ascertaining the bale qo between help and barm, and proving that the residue pays for what It oosts, Western Oregon should not assume parsimonious attitude towards Eastern Oregon. The state 1 autonomous. It Is a political and commercial 'entity. It Is social organism, This member must not seek to deprive that member of that which is necessary to sustenance of life. There must be broader, more liberal views here la Oregon. Heretofore, people west of the Cascades and those east have talk ed and written Ilk children who are prone to quarrel over a bar of marbles. The Journal seek to proclaim the gos pel of mutual consideration by on part of the state for the other. It urge It in this matter of the coyote scalp bounty law, to some an unlovely theme upon which to build a discourse Involving ex altatlou of sentiment. But, If In the mat' ter of this practical subject the people of tbe commonwealth be brought to higher ground, it matter not that tbe immediate occasion was discussion relating to the paying for gory portion of wolve and the issues incident thereto. OUR NEW REPUTATION. A few day, ago the Chicago Journal printed an editorial In which the officers of Washington were unmercifully scored for that they had not captured Tracy. Those officer were practically called cowards and it was flatly stated that the Tracy Incident had proven1 that here. tofore the Westerner has gone under false guise. He ha been masquerading a a daredevil whereas he is a paltroon. He bad been written down as one who would wade through Are and water,' al though of the latter element he knew very little personally, Accompanying this wa the feeling In the mind of the Easterner that the Westerner waf some thing to meet wbtch was to suffer daa ger of contamination. ' That Westerner was the embodiment of all that wa bad, the negation of all that was good. Here, near to tbe grand old Pacific wa no culture, no refinement. Only gun and pistols were suggested to ' the mind of that man who lived farther toward the rising sun than he did toward the spot where the sun sinks Into the ocean. At last, however, w have been given a reputation that savors of the effete East. We bave appealed to the refined scribblers of the Windy City as worthy to graduate from the glorious old West ern school of chivalry, and matriculate In the college of Eastern littleness. We have, according to the view of the Chi- cago Journal writer, developed officers who are cowards. Wa-are no longer a region in which Sheriffs go Into office who would storm the gates of hell Itself, and hesitate not to arrest Satan and all his Imps. We are now civilised, thinks that lit erary feller of the center of the pork In dustry, that metropolis of sausage, that city, built on pile. They who live there will, therefore, no longer arm themselves with knife and pistol when they board the cars to visit the West. They will bring treatises on pork, or how to attain distinction In the most corrupt munici pality in the world will, in tact, dis card! yellow-back novels, and pack into their grips "If Christ Came to Chicago," with its sequel, "And How Soon Would He Leave, It Ever He Wont There?" Let Oregon and Washington congratu late themselves, Chicago has recognised us. 'ONE RAILROAD TRU8T. Every railroad in the United States in ore trust and then whatT That such a trust will eventually be formed. Is prob able. And this prediction is based, not upon pretended information of specific nature, but is a conclusion drawn from the logic of events. It Is needful that thla question be kept before the public mind. Not in the petty spirit of hostility to corporation. That were worthy only the little soul ' who naturally belongs In the rank of the iconoclasts, and who goes by very Innate tendencies towards the anarchist. But, there 1 la the atmosphere of Wall street and attaching to the men who' control the big rail systems the potentiality of a trust that shall absorb all lines and place In Its hand every mile of track over which goods and passengers are carried.

THBUTEJ0 OREGON. , Popular Mechanics, published in Chi cago, has ant interesting ertlql about Oregon that ought to be of advantage te this state. Here are soma ef tbe ex cerpts: ' 1 "la San rrandsoo to be the future me tropolie of the world and tbe Stat of Oregon one of the most populoul and Im portant states of America? Such A pre diction was once made by a noted Eng llah scientist, and reoeat development lead many to believe that there were good grounds for his theory. It looks' as If Portland, Or., is destined to become the Liverpool of America, and all the world Is now turning Its eyes on the State of Oregon because of new American po sessions in the Pacific seem destined to work a new revolution in American corn merclal affair.

'Alaska with its many sources of commerce is hourly growing in importance and our rapidly increasing trade In China is caus ing many eyes at this time tit turn to 'th land of the setting sun.' Some' marines declare Portland, Or., to, have the finest natural harbor in the world, and It may be that this is to become the great ship ping center In our enormous trade with Alaska, tbe Pacific island and the Ori ent. At anyrate it is certain that Port land's shipping Interests are bound t in crease many fold and the prospects for ber becoming a rival of Ban Sraneisco as an ocean port are not In tbe least re mote. "Oregon's splendid" agricultural ' re. sources, ber rich soil,, healthful climate and advantageous location, make this state of first importance to the Investor when, considering the wonderful' changes la conditions brought about by our re cent wars, acquisitions and stupendous increase of trade. "To the man In the East whs Is dis satisfied with tbe conditions whioh sun. round him comes the inquiry for that region .where conditions may be found that are more promising for hi success. The great consideration should be with every man, 'where can I produce a raaxU mum of result with a reasonable ex oendlture of effort?' "Nature herself, when sh founded Ore gon, furnished the answer to, this query. It would be dlfflclut Indeed to find an other section of country with larger ot more varied resources than Oregon."

It has been satd, "Where the United States Government leads, the American housekeeper will follow, and the foundation of all success In times ot peace or tithe of war will be found In the choice of food, well cooked and care fully served three times a (Jay, 365 days In 'a year. Army rations, navy rations, emergency rations are the basis of na national power today. The housekeeper holds In her hand unlimited power, when she chooses well the food for the fam ily." This Is anent to the saying ."The pathway of the . true missionary la through the kitchen." These facts may be sound ones, but what about the house keeper being insured' against adultera tion? We believe that the bill before the Na tional Congress, In the matter ot pure food, should have the hearty support of every well regulated mind. We are glad to note that the largest society of women I nthe world the Wo man's Christian Temperance Union has a department ' of work which includes thla effort for pure food.

We also notice the statement , that girls cannpt graduate from the public schools of Bosr ton until they have taken a course In cooking. Cooking Is considered as essen tial a part of the girl's education as the conjugation of a Latin verb or the swing ing of physical culture, clubs. An emi nent authority says!
