PORT OF PORTLAND tOM , MISSION. The decision handed" down Saturday by the Circuit Court In the Port of Portland "cae mut be received with regret by -hat large element In the community which de to see ,41Ua. convmt"'"nxlieit fr.ee trom the contaminating influences of the practical ' politicians. The court held that the act passed by" the last legislature ousting from offlc five of the seven members of the old board and appointing In their atead men se--lected by the Mitchell-Matthew math'ne, la valid, despite the objections urged against It. The Supreme -Court la yet to pass upon the case, but attorneys predict that 11 will sustain the decision of thelower tribunal On general principles It must b regarded aa a aerlous mistake to make frequent changes In the personnel of the Port of Portlarfd Commission. Every new member must spend montha In familiarising himself with h work that has been done and in studying the needs of the port. The expe rlence gained from long membership in the ...... cornmtosl0o.hattdl Qt the greatest value, and it la Idle to expect satisfactory results if Inexperienced men are constantly appointed, " ' The wnsequenc.ejre-organlalng the board at each aession of the Legislature at the be hest of the political faction which happens to belli power must be unfortunate. It Is true that the proceedings of the old board were sometimes marked by a lack of harmony which.,, seriously Impaired Its of- flclencyyand Individual-members werenome. times subjected to conslderablev criticism It is equally true that the new appointees are well-known citizens, and may prove en tirely competent to discharge he duties ot their office. But it la undeniable-that The prime object of the reorganization was to rive the control of the commission to 'he Republican machine which is now In control In this county. The choice of the new nern , bers was' dictated in the most disgraceful '. manner. The Multnomah delegation in the Legislature was permitted to go through Ihe form of selecting the new members, and-tiie lis was then revised here in Portland by the bosses, who made Buch changes as they Saw fit and transmitted to their henchmm at Salem' the names which they had ap proved. The list, as altered, was then pre sented to the Leglslatrue as the ghoj ! of the delegation, and the act was passer;. No more brazen and high-handed exhibition of machine methods was witnessed during the session. By means of the act thus passed, the mi chine expected to gain control of th.i Port of Portland Commission and to use it for po litical purposes. In case the new board Is seated by the Supreme Court, It wilt have an opportunity to gain the respect and the confidence of the public by rising above the dictation of the bosses and refusing to be come a mere adjunct of the machine. Tlio ;r people of Portland are . Just . . begjnntnjf. tv learn how heavy a burden they have borne In suffering themselves to be dominated Dy the horde of grafters and practical poli ticians who are responsible for the InlqL.itoug tax scandals. If the same corrupt!:. g in fluences are to be extended to the Port of Portland Commission, public indignation will certainly be aroused. this Coast at figure far above the rates now prevalent. The steady decline in charters, together with th advance in wheat, finally broke the back of the manip ulators and Eppinger & Co. were forced to the wall. While the failure may bring disaster to many, who sustained business relations with the Insolvent firm. It may prove a wholesome lesson to other greedy speculator who eek to wret from the farmer his hard-earned profits. The "Big Four" were simply heart less conspirators who were not satisfied with the legitimate gain of middlemen and ship pers, but attempted to absorb the growers' profits as well. POLITICS IN THE EMPIRE STATE. Republican newspaper are publishing the report that Secretary of War Ellhu Root may be put forward as the party candidate for Governor of New York, in the next state campaign.. The chief significance of the ru mor lies In the circumstance that U Is one more evidence of ..the, fact. tha,t, the Repub lican leaders are extremely apprehensive that the Empire State will go Democratic In the Presidential election. , There . t much reason for these feara. President Roosevelt has-doubtless gained much In popularity In some sections of the country, but', in New York, and especially In New Tork City, he Is by no means a strong as he was a year ago. That this is true Is conceded by many of the President's staunchest supporters. Dissatisfaction with the national adminis tration has been aggravated by the wide spread criticism of the policy pursued by Governor Odell. Many of his official acts have drawn upon him the severe condemna tion of the Republican press ot the state, and were his strength less thoroughly organised a. revolt from his leadership would undoubt edly ha occurred before now. But Odell has already shown that he Is strong enough to defy Senator Piatt, hitherto the dictator in the Republican councils of New Tork. and the party machine seems to be thoroughly under hla control. The obstacle to his re nominatlon lies in the doubt whether he could be re-elected. This doubt is a grave one, and has found expression in the tenta tive .suggestion that some other prominent Republican should be chosen to head the state ticket. It is scarcely probably that Odell will abandon his ambition to serve a second term as Governor, and it will not be strange if a factional fight of much bitter ness is the result. In any event present hv dtcations give strong ground for the belief that New York may once more awing Into the Democratic column and that her elect oral vote may be cast for the Democratic candidate for President if the right man ia chosen. ; EARLY DAYS AT CANYON CITY By Paul D Laney.) Canyon City la not only on of the most Interesting towns In Oregon, but around it clusters more stories of th early pioneer day than any other point In the state. ."Tarn hill County claims to be the father of great men In Oregon," said C. W. Parrlsh, one of the first lawyera of Eastern Oregon, a few daya ago,' "but Canyon City ha been the home of more great men than any other town In the state. . "There on the hill Rebel Hill." said Mr. Parrlsh, pointing to a thickly populated point on the East side of Canyon City's main street, "I th old house once occupied by Joaquin Miller as hi home. Then that little shack across th canyon was once occupied by J. W. Whaley. And Just up the street 1 the old house whfcre W, Lair Hill used to board." Then he iamed man after man who had lived In Canyon City In early days and who afterwards reached prominence In the country. There were Senators, Congress men, Jurists, financier and score of other who had made their start in Ufa In Canyon City. .- - - "And there were some rough times In those early days, too," continued Mr. Parrlsh. "Like all of the early mining towns she had her bad men aa well as th good, and It sometimes became necessary for the people to take the law Into their own hands at least they did it. Ther were some amusing Incident in those day, too. Th Canyon City miners stole a grave from the New Pine Creek camp which Ilea over th hill yonder, and Just above th fire bell there,, a soldier's horse Jumped over a bluff and had to be led out through a woman's parlor In order to get him back into open ter ritory. Canyon City also had one of th most orderly lynching ever reported In th Western country." How about stealing that grave?" I Inquired of Mr. Parrlsh. "Oh, It was this way," .he replied. "There was a death over in the New Pine Creek camp and the miner over there mad up a purse and employed a sailor who had drifted Into the country, and wa having a hard time of It to get along, to dig a grave. They gave him $20 tp do the work and he dug the grave on top of th hill between th two canyons, where the present cemetery Is now situated. The new Pine Creek men aet th following day to bury their dead, and the hour of 10 o'clock In th morning was fixed for the ceremony. x "The night before, however, there waa a shooting scrap In th Canyon City camp and a gambler waa killed aa a result Th Canyon boy knew of th newly-dug grave on the hill and they rushed their corpse out by daybreak and burled It In the grave prepared for the New Pine Creek corpse. When the New Pine Creek fellows arrived In solemn procession with their corpse and found the grave occupied by th dead gambler, there waa trouble In the air. They didn't care for the $20. or for the delay in digging another grave, but they wer Incensed over being made the butt of the greatest Joke they ever heard of before. "They went In search of the sailor, thinking he had Jd the grave to the other side, after they had paid him for digging It, but he got a bint 'of the trouble and took to the wooda. Then they came over in a body to Canyon City .and threatened to clean out the camp, but everybody kept quiet and they did not know who to start In on. "They finally had another grave dug, but they guarded It. with shotguns until the corpse waa lowered and the dirt' replaced over It. The salior did not show , up until the whole trouble had blown over. "But the worst sold soldier you ever saw Was the one whose horse jumped over the bluff. A. detachment had been, on a scouting expedition In th Harney eautry and" returned by way of Canyon City. The flrat thing they did wa to get on a spree. They were camped on the east side of the canyon near the resident portion of the camp, at that time, and the men wer mining on the opposite side. The miners were hauling the dirt In wheelbarrows to the sluice boxes and the intoxicated soldiers were amusing themselves by shooting at the wheelbarrows as the miners were wheeling them along. The hilarity became so great that one of the soldier's horses leaped over the embank ment into the back yard of one of the citizens and it looked as If he were there to tay. The house was wedged into the gulch with perpendicular walls on either side and the back yard occupied by the horse looked like a huge well from above. "After discussing various methods for rescuing the animal It was decided tnat it would have to be taken out through' the house. The lady of the house waa finally per suaded and the doors were thrown open and the animal led out throwgh her parlor. This little episode resulted In quieting down the soldiers. ' 0 , "The most orderly lynching In the history of the West took place here In early days," continued Mr. Parrlsh, "The victim waa a man by the name of Berry Way, and he doubtless paid a. Just penalty. He had already had a Harrow call In a California mining camp and was not in good standing anyway, and when he committed a cold blooded' murder In Oregon, the miners her th.ouaht It was tJme to dose hla career. He was suspected of killing a man in California for his money, but as. the body of. the man could not be found the miners by a small majority vota decided to let him go, provided he would leave the country. . He.r came to .. Canyon City and her , he waa soon spotted by men who knew him there. Jim Small, at present one of Grant County's leading sheep-men, was among the number to recognize him, and was also among the number to take him from the Sheriff and execute him. . "Way and a companion had been engaged In teaming between Canyon City and The Dalles and had made a large sum of money. Way's old Inclination came back to him and he murdered his partner on the road and took bis money. He waa arrested, but made his escape from the Sheriff and went to Idaho. He was heard' from over there and arrested and brought back. When the Deputy Sheriff reached Canyon City, the miners considered the fact that It was a long distance to The Dalles and feared that Way might again escape from the deputy. It got noised about camp that the prisoner would be taken from the officer and th latter sought the upper story of a log house as the safest place to keep Way. The doors were locked and the s'tarway barricaded. There was only one window to the building, and through this the miners, accomplished their purpose. "They placed a ladder against the house and Jim Small climbed to the window. The deputy discharged his revolver, but Jlm went right on and demanded the prisoner. The window wa forced open and the prisoner wasr dragged from the building. The miners t.' en assembled, elected a Judge, selected a Jury of 12 'men, and appointed a number of deputies to carry out the orders of the -court. Witnesses were sworn and the trial proceeded In as orderly a manner as any mode1"ftcdurt Is conducted. After the evidence was all In and the speeches wer made, the miner judge charged the jury updn their honor, their oaths, everything that was sacred, to do justice to the prisoner. It Is said to have been one of the ablest charges ever heard by those present at th trial.

Elghty-on six-pence were realised in 10 minutes for the church fund, and then, after he had had a rest, the Mayor, amid much laughter, reduced the charge to three pence. ..Ultimately: he had to atop his money-making exertions on account of a weak wrist.

The other day he stated at a meeting that he had known what it waa to sleep on the ground for weeks and months together. He had mended his own boots and patched his breeches. As for cooking, well, if any one wanted to know how to make flapjacks, let them go to him. The explanation of Dr, Sheepshank's unusual experiences and ac compliahmenta is to be found in the fact that aom.r years. apo Jje wj chaplain ta.the Bishop of British Columbia.

THE EPPINGER FAILURE The failure of Eppinger & Co of San Francisco is the culmination of a protracted campaign to "bear" the price of wheat and to force the farmers of the Northwest to part with their crops at prlea far below their actual value. A combination known as "the Big Four" was formed, comprising four of the largest grain shipping and warehouse firms on the Coast and for many months they were engaged In fighting the advance in prices resulting from foreign demand and the failure of the Australian crop. The. farmers of California formed an organisation to resist this combination and to obtain for Chicago has Just administered a crushing defeat to a. coterie of political bosses who sought to gain control of the courts by electing to the bench machine Judges Mho could be depended on to "stand in" with the organization which created them. The elec tion was held last week and it resulted in a signal victory for the anti-machine fprces. A non-partisan Judiciary was elected, largely through the determined fight made by the Independent papers of the city. It was a good illustration of the results whlch may be achieved by an honest and fearless press. "TWe Jury found Way guilty at 2 o'clock in the morning. The Judge Immediately sentenced him to pay th death penalty by hanging at 2 o'clock In the afternoon of the same day. Forty deputies were appointed to see that the execution was carried on In an orderly manner.

" 'There is not drop enough,' said Way. " 'I can give you more drop,' said the man who had superintended the building of the scaffold, 'but I fear you might strike the ground,, and that would hurt you "Way'a measurement was taken, however, and a half a foot more drop wa given. He then walked upon the scaffold firmly, the noose was placed about his neck, th black cap adjusted, and the work of the scaffold was perfect" REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR, The riVere lace there is around a woman's corsage, the less it conceals.

Joseph Girouard of Spencer, Mass., announced recently that he would give receipts in full to all his debtors- who applied, providing they were unable to meet their obliga tions. "No matter whether Jt la $10 or 1100 or $1,000," he declared. "Any man, who says he cannot pay it shall have a receipt. I want to feel kindly toward all the people and not have them burdened with any debts to me." But it has turned out that no man owned him a single cent. REMEMBERED THE WI0OW8. In his last will. Dr. Ladlslaus Jaslnskl, a leading physician In Lemberg, Gallcla, bequeathed $65,000 to a fund for assisting widows of doctors, and ordained at the same time that not more than eight shillings should be spent on his funeral. His numerous orders and medals of distinction had been given away the day before his death to a hostler and postman. The Jewish massacres' at Klshlneff may have been merely a diversion to distract themselves some share of the profits which attention from Russia's movements In Man- the shippers propose, to monopolize. - The failure which occurred Saturday was hastened by the fact that the "Big Four" had . chartered an immense amount of tonnage months before the vessels had arrived on churla. A TRUE STORY. It Is told a a true story that John Chapman," at Galena, Kan.,: fell down a JO -foot tramway at the Blind Tiger mine, and dislocated his shoulder. He went home and stumbled down the cellar steps, and In falling his shoulder was thrown back Into place. He took a drink and returned to work. ' . , .

It is now being recalled that Joe Chamber lain has a play hidden away somewhere which he wrote In earlier days, and which wild horses" would not drag from Birming ham to the stage of Drury Lane. But Mr. Chamberlain is not the only atatesman-pfaywiight, though possibly he is the only statesman who has played, even as an amateur, In a farce or drama of his own. .a Lord Rosebery appeared as an amateur actor In a performance of "Rob Roy," and did hi best, an old farmer said to his wife, "to turn a gran' play like .'Rob Roy' into a pantomime;" and one of Mr. Chamberlain's predecessors as Colonial Secretary owed his rise in politics largely to the success of his plays.

In these novel chases an aeronaut starts skyward in a balloon, carrying some dummy dispatches, while at the same time the automobiles start in pursuit of the huge gas bag on terra flrma.
