PORTLAND'S GROWTH.
" Few people realize the rapidity of the
i (growth Portland Is now enjoying.- Most
... people know that carpenters and build
ing materials are In heavy demand, and
that new houses are springing up every

numerous suburbs that are stretching
out In all directions.

BEN CAMPBELL'S PROMISE.
Ben Campbell, whose word is valued at

the position of assistant traffic director
of the llarrlmnn lines,, says:
Tht O. R. & N. Co. will protect im
migrants and manufacturers coming into
Eastern Oregon or elsewhere Into non-
competitive territory. We would rather
"'earn, a, dollar In non-competitive terri
i tory than where we meet heavy opposi
tion." , Mr Campbell's statement made to The
Journal carries weight and will be ac
'cepted Without question; He speaks of

Campbell in large measures relieves the
anxiety as to what policy is to govern
the management of the Harrlman sys
tem. It is a promise that the managers
are going to remember that their Inter
ests tire the Interests oi all the people.
It Is an earnest that they will work in
consonance with this theory, a theory
that is undoubtedly based upon reason
and common sense.

COMPETITION IN ??UBLIC BUSI
NESS. The economical conduct of the county
and city business should never be lost
from Bight. When times are good, busi
ness prosperous, and people generally
busy with their own affairs, they are
apt to lose sight of the conduct of pub
lic affairs. It is during prosperous times
that the greatest extravagance take root
It is then the promoter, the exploiter, the
franchise-seeker, the contractor, get In
their deadly work, and it is then the
firm and honest officials are most needed.
A low tax rata with honest and useful
expenditures is the best advertisement we
can Jhave.
It is particularly important at this time
that our officials should be careful In
their expenditures, for do Vhat they will
the next three years are bound to show
a high levy. The Dredge and the Lewis
and Clark Fair tax alone will make a
considerable increase. It is patent to
everyone who has looked Into the sub
ject, that the affairs of the city for
several years past have been more eco
nomically conducted than those of the
county.
This may have been the result of the
limitations placed on the levy by the
charter" and the requirement that all
city work must be done by contract
after due advertising. The last Legisla
ture passed an act covering the latter
matter, but while this law has been fol
lowed to some extent, there is yet room
for Improvement.
In the case of the city, the advertising
Is let to the lowest bidder, while no such
practice is- followed by the county. Why
should not the present Board of County
Commissioners initiate a reform at this
point? We will venture to predict a sub
stantial saving will follow. It may be
suggested that our motive is selfish, that
we want a chance to get the county
printing. So we do. If we can get it
as the result of open, honest competl
tlon; otherwise we don't want It. We
are In Just the same position as any mer
chant in the city, each of whom feels
that he has a right to bid on public
work. We are here to-stay, are In busi
ness, pay jour share of the Jtaxes and
are entitled to the same consideration,
neither more nor less, than that given
to any competitor. Let the board adver
tise for bids for the county printing,
let the Sheriff do the same, and the
taxpayer will not be' the sufferer.

WHO SHOULD BE SENATOR?
State Senator Williamson, Congress
man-elect from the Second district of Ore
gon, briefly discussed the character in
general of the man Who should be elect
ed to the United States 8enate from
this stata He mentions no names, but
lays down as his fundamental proposi
tion that he should be a man "who is
In harmony with the remaining members
of the delegation in Congress from Ore
gon." With due respect to the opinions of the
excellent gentleman from Crook County,
and those who know him believe that
he has many excellencies, it occurs to
The Journal that this Is scarcely the
basic consideration In the selection of a
Senator. It Is true that he will accom
plish much In the event he be In sym
pathy with the other Senator and the
two Congressmen. But, certainly, that Is
not the vital requirement. ...
Then, what sort of a man should go
to the 8enate? He should be a man above
the petty meanness of partisan politics;
one who can get out upon the broad
plane of statesmanship; who has the
proper view of the duty he owes to his
state, the while never forgetting that he
is to be a member of a body that legis
lates for the entire 'Nation; a man whose
heart throbs in common with all men,
and whose vision reaches out beyond the
boundary lines that separate this coun
try from other peoples, realising Jat ail
men should be -kin. He should be -one
whose thought 'projects Into the- future,
taking firm hold upon present questions,
and who has the preslence to see what
will be in hand in the years to come.
These are Ideal requirements, say you?
Very true,' yet It would not harm Ore
gon were we to send such, a nan to -the
high legislative body otkCoiigress. There
is reason in ths suggestion of ongress-
man-elect Wllllamsyn, yet U does, not

Mr. Wjlliam.son, however, was not at

W VAGi
VAGARIES OF EDITORS
In amusing ' candor and Ingenuity of
excuses the American editor might learn
something from his Hindu brother, who,
when anything .goes wrong with the
paper for which he is responsible, is as
fertile lnx excuses as a Chinaman.
When the first copy of a new Hindu
newspaper made Its appearance recently,
its subscribers were amazed to see that
wrly half of It consisted of empty
columns. The following editorial note,
however, explained this vagary: "We it
gret that this, our maiden number,
should lack completeness due to a mis
calculation. We thought we had fuffl
clent material, and consequently did not
trouble to collect more. We can assure
our Indulgent readers that this will not
occur again; and we trust the quality
of the -contents will make up for their
lack In quantity."
Another Hindu, editor found it neces
sary to suspend the publication of hje
paper for a fortnight without any wan
ing. When the paper again made its ap
pearance It contained this amusing no
tice: "We regret that owing to a misun
derstanding with a rival editor, in which
we failed to get all the best of the argu
ment, it was necessary for us to retire
unexpectedly from the conduct of this
paper for the space of two weeks, dur
ing which we have had opportunities
of devising certain Improvements which
we proposeto Introduce Into It. The rival
editor, we regret to report, is still con
fined to his home."
When the Hindu editor wishes to rest
for a time from his labors he almly and
confidently announces U fact In these
or similar words: "Af we fue beginning
to feel the physic.".! and mentr.1 effects
of a year's unremitting d-'votlon, to the
Interests of our readers, ve feet It due
to them that we shouli tuke the rest
which our labors In their behalf demand
and deserve: and as a natural conse
quence beg to notify that this paper will
cease to appear for the space of four
weeks."
A short time ago an Indian newspaper
appeared with two very conspicuous
blank columns 6n the front page. The
editor explained . this eccentricity thus
"We had reserved this space for an ex
ceptionally powerful article on a sub
iect of universal Interest to our renders;
but at the last moment we find that the
article cannot be compressed within the
two columns reserved for It. It will
make Its appearance next wek."
Another Hindu editor, whose paper
made its bow to the public with a num
ber of empty columns, had the delightful
effrontery to Insert a notice to the ef
fect that "a very large quantity of most
Interesting matter has been omitted for
lack of space." '
An Ingenious expedient was that of the
Baltimore editor whose, supply of "b's '
ran short. Not to be beaten by this di
lemma, he substituted "th" for "s"
throughout the remainder of the Issue,
the following note serving as adequate
apology: "Ath we have the mlthfortune
to run thort of etheth we are compelled
to thubthitute the letterth 'th' for 'eth' in
certain portlonth of our lththue of to
day." Cases are on record where, when the
supply of paper has failed, newspapers
have appeared printed on substitutes
ranging from brown paper to wall-paper;
but never has n newspaper appeared In
such a range of hues as one published
at Ahmedabad some years ago. ine
stock of ordinary white vpaper had -been
exhausted, and as a i new supply j failed
to make Us appear hi "cje of fls issues'
appeared on yellow paper. This was fol
lowed by an Issue on green paper, a
third evldenod an attack of the blues,
and so on fur some days, until a week's

HUNTING FOR HAPPINESS.
May Yohe has lost youth and honor
In a hunt for happiness.
In all her life she has sought to please
herself.
Where social rules or moral laws were
in the way she broke them.
She had her idea of what would make
her happy, and she let nothing stand In
her way.
First she went In for gay life on the
stage as the way to be happy.
Lime lights, wine suppers and loose
morals looked good to her, and she tried
them all; and she gave them a fair test,
too.
Result No. 1. A good name gone and
only unrest; not happiness.
Then came Lord Hope, brother of a
duke and heir to the name of New
castle. May Yohe tried him, and thought as
Lady Hope to have what the notorious
music hall artist failed to find.
No love was in the marriage; infatua
tion on one side and that same old hunt
for happiness, that foolish, Wicked hunt
for happiness on the other.
Enter Capt. Strong. ,
Yohe, bored already by her try at re
spectability, sought some new way to be
happy.
Result No. 2 An elopement, a divorce
and a man's life and career ruined.
Strong was no better than Yohe, of
course, and his case is no more a pity
than hers but for the one reason that
he still had honor before him, while hers
was already gone.
So Strong was udded to the list of those
sacrificed to May Yohe's willful wish to
be happy.
Now there is another chapter. Yohe
Jover has stolen her diamonds and left
her.
So' much for one woman's niad will to
make her life In her own way.
And Is she happy?
Has she ever been hoppyT'
Of course not.
She has ruined her own life and no
one knows how many other lives.
And she has not brought happiness to
herself or any one else. .. .
Don't try to be happy in May Yohe's
way. :
You can't buy happiness with sin.
You do not seek violets In reeking
swamps, v '
"Gentle gazelles" are not very commc-n
in tigers' lairs. ... , . ""
Well, what is the moral T
If you want to hunt happiness, won't
go where vice abides. .

DRINKING IN HOT WEATHER
; ' . . j'r- K". '
. Each, individual may. by the exercise of
a little thought and! discretion, do a great
deal to lesson the inconvenience due to ex
ceptional heat. The difficulty Is to per
suade perrons, to alter their habits for a
season, which' In this country is of but
short duration. Yet the 'very fact that
great beat is quits exceptional, that there
fore we are not accustomed to it, makes
It all ths more necessary to take prope
measure. The healthy and strong may
be only inconvenienced, but the feeble and
aged may be seriously Injured.
Obviously the first precaution Is to
plan our appointments and business a to
allow plenty of time to walk slowly from
place to place. People who live In hot
climates do not race about as we are In
the habit of doing In England. Also, the
hotter the climate the mbre general ts
the abstinence from alcoholic drinks. The
thoughtless Englishman, however, rushes
about with just as much energy and
rapidity during the very hot weather as
during tie more temperate periods of the
year. As a natural result he Is soon over
whelmed with thirst and therefore resorts
to mineral waters with a dash of alcohol,
or If this' is too expensive he will take a
glass of beer served In a tepid condition
and then at once hurry back to his busi
ness. This only increases .tne perspira
tion from which he was already suffering.
In time,' especially If the drinks are re
peated, reaction, headache and general
lassitude ensue. Such a regime Is as rh
efhcaclous as It Is Injurious.
First of all we should strive to keep
cool by moving slowly, then we must en.
dure thirst and abstain from drink while !
physically active. It is only when we I
have reached a comparatively cool place
and can sit and rest for awhile that w
majr venture to quench our thirst. Bui
then wu come face to face with this
great grievance, that there ore hardly
any suitable summer drinks in this coun
try and that there Is a still greater luck
of cool places where the mass of the peo
ple tan rest whjle taking such light re
freshments. In the center of Paris, where
land Is as valuable as In London, the
workman Insists on a chair and a table
placed in the shade and In the open air
before he will consume a drink In the
cheapest of cabarets. For the wealthier
classes there axe luxurious cafes 'well
rhaded from the sun, the windows re-

stant watering. Here, rest and a fresher
atmosphere can be enjoyed, together with
a great variety of pleasant Iced drinks
that contain little or no alcohol. Why
are we In England so much behind other
nations In this respect? In Germany the
town workman has In summer time num
erous beer gardens where there are shadt
arid fresh air
In due measure with the comforts and
luxuries provided do we lind a decrease In
the prevalence of drunkenness. Drunk
ards abound in our public houses; tlie
are almost never wen in a French care,
even though absinthe be served at every
other table. All that has been said m
favor of temperance and against strong
a'cobolic drinks Is doubly appropriate dur
ing the very hot weather. Then more
than ever Is a really good temperance
drink urgently needed. Light lugcr beer
Is, we believe yearly more nna mois ap
preciated in England. This Is truly
temperate drink weil suited for hot weath
er. As we huve already shown by careful
analyses, beer of thp Munich type con
tains as much nutriment with only hull
the alcohol that Is to be found in typical
high-ciass English, beers. Then It must
be kept cool namely, at about ia degrees
Fahrenheit, which is better than being
Iced. , , ,
There, I also a larger demand for
Jemon sauash" or simple lemon 1nlf

drinks that will do no harm during the
hot weather. Tea la likewise tukinir th

is the more refreshing the after effect

must not be Ignored. The party needs his

not backward, accepting conditions as
we find them confronting us, and act
accordingly. The next National conven
tion must not be bound by any prece

principles. New conditions must be met
In a progressive spirit, and the platform
of 1S86 must not stand In the way of

THE JEWS AND PALESTINE.
There seems to be lack of enthusiasm
in the attitude of the sublime Porte
toward the Zionist movement which has
for Its chief purpose the reclamation of
Palestine by the Israelites. Dr. Theo
dore Ilersel, founder of the project, has
returned from Constantinople to Vienna
with Dr. Wolffson, president of the Jew
ish colonial trust, somewhat discouraged
over the lukewarm reception accorded
by the Sultan to his overtures. While Dr.
Herzl has not renounced hope that he
will ultimately convince the Porte of the
wisdom of his plans, It Is manifest that
he is not now so sanguine ot success as
he was a year ago.
But few Americans will feel called on
to share In any chagrin that may attach
to the possible failure of the Palestine
colonization venture. Even the Jews
themselves are divided In their views
of Dr. Herzl's project, and certainly the
people of the United States have no
desire to part with such a solid element
bf citizenship as the American 'Israelites.
Altogether, the plan to assemble the He
brews of the world In the Holy Land,
from which they were expelled centuries
ago, seems fraught with much more sen
timent than utility. Of course those
Jews who care to avail themselves of
the prospective opportunity of establish
ing homes in the traditional domicile of
their race will find abundant sympathy
among all fair-minded Been who can not
refrain from admiring the monumental
staunchness of the 'Israelite people and
the steadfastness with wnich they clung
to their faith "amid the wreck of mat
ter and the crush of worlds."
But on the other hand, men of more
practical views will ask In the future as
they have asked ever since Dr. rferzl
proposed his vast venture: "Why should
the Jews want to return to Palestine; are
they not doing well enough here?"' Ot
course, this interrogation contemplates
only the conditions in the Western Hemi
sphere. It woutd be easy to prove the ad
visability of an emigration of the hund
reds of thousands of Jewish inhabitants
from the intolerant and anti-Semitic at
mosphere of Russia, Germany and Au
stria; but Just why anyone considers the
time ripe for the Hebraic people to in
trust themselves to tha guaranties or
promises of the subllms Porte remains to
be shown. ,, .
Just now it does not seem probable that
the Sultan will vouchsafe assurances of a
