Not that It alone la worthy of attention, for there are other sections, notably tha Central Northwest, that have also great claim! to consideration, but because Just now there is combined in Ita favor certain elements of strength that must give certainty to the future and which, make the present one of remarkable- prosperity. The Coast region of the Northwest has In its favor the same strength of soil and diversity of products that make older settled sections of the nation rich but more, it has at its door the outlet to an empire that is as yet practically untouched and which will in the near future bring to this nation great business ad vantage. What would It not be worth to the State of North Dakota, for instance, if an ocean washed ita western boundary, giving access to Asia? That is what the Pacific Coast possesses. In two decades the westward march of empire has carried thn geographical center of the United States 1,000 miles out In the Pacific Ocean;" It hits taken the center of population westward and It has made Seattle and Tacoma and Portland cities of importance In every business matter of national development. ' James J. 11111 said the other day: "Suppose we could increase our wheat consump tlon in China one per cent per capita for each day in the year? It would mean $4,000,000 a day, or $1,500,000,000 a year. It would mean millions and millions for the American farmer wheat has been followed by increased consumption makes this no Idle dream. The Adventure of Journal Representatives In Eastern Oregon. DREWSET. Or., June 20. A serious acci dent' occurred near this place today at the regular round-up of the Pacific Livestock Company's cattle in this section. , Bob Ward, a buccarroo, was thrown from his horse, the horse afterwards falling upon him and leaving him In an unconscious state,- But for the presence of the Oregon Dally Journal representatives and the "Journal wagon," Ward would doubtless have died, Unconscious, scarcely breathing, and with the blood flowing from an ugly scalp wound JWard was .placed in the "Journal wagon," and while De Laney held the wounded cow The fact that with the single exception of the black race the introduction of I boy across his lap, Puterbaugb drove for inrougn me sage orusn, across aeep Family Position and Social Pull are Important factors In the matter of Plums.

THE COUNTY LITIGATION Few matters can be of greater present moment to the taxpayers of Multnomah County than the progress of the litigation whereby the county Is seeking to recover moneys lost through the wastefulness and mismanagement of former officials. Of, the several suits already Instituted, that against the First National Bank has probably at tracted most attention, and excited most speculation as to the ultimate result. A vic tory for the county will be a signal vindica tion of or encouraged the county's affairs. A preliminary motion in this suit against ' the bank eyoked some significant comments yesterday by Judge Frazer of the Circuit Court, which give strong reason for the be lief that upon one of the Important Issues of the case his ruling will be In favor of the county, when the Question comes uu for decision. Cight years ago the bank purchased in 'good faith about $4,000 of county warrants. 'Three years later they were Judicially de clared invalid, because tainted with fraud, and the bank was enjoined from presenting them for payment. Nevertheless in 1901. the bank petitioned the county board to accept - the void warrants in exchange for tax sale certificates and the petition was granted The present suit was brought to set aside this exchange and recover the value of the tax sale certificates. The bank, in its answer, set forth that ita original purchase of the yoid warrants was made for full value and In good faith, ahd that It there fore had a moral claim against the county which was a sufficient consideration for the exchange negotiated in 1001. Judge Frazer broadly intimated yesterday that the good faith of the bank In the orig inal purchase of the void warrants Is entirely Immaterial In the present suit and cannot be urged as a . defense. This is precisely the view that had been previously presented In the columns of The Journal. It Is not to be denied thut the bank suf fered a serious Hardship when the warrants which It had purchased for full value, be lieving them to be valid, were Judiciously de clared void, and when an Injunction was issued restraining the bank from presenting' them for paj'ment. Nevertheless the bank's claim was finally adjudicated in that suit, and its rights were fully determined. When, four years later, the bank nego tiated an exchange of the void warrants for property belonging to the county, it was acting In entire disregard of the Injunction j, Issued against It. The comments made yesterday by Judge .ho hava s'dod-UvU n6 r-Ttnioch charges as 'hot air." investigation into the Influence has debauched the Postoffice De partment and made of It a mere machine for the distribution of the spoils. Every fresh revelation of rottenness In the postal service is an added count in the Indictment against Payne. With almost as much pro priety might a criminal be allowed to con duct h's own prosecution as to permit Payne to carry on the investigation of the postal scandal. Our contemporary lamely admits that "Mr. Payne has doubtless apprised himself ere this of the seriousness of her error In char Buncombe to some extent they were un doubtedly. But the expression was unbe coming at the best, and In view of subse quent developments almost compromising." "Almost compromising." And the official who was "almost compromised" by his own words Is to be charged with the Investiga tion of accusations which he did his utmost to suppress, and belittle, but which have since been proven to be true. If President Roosevelt Is seeking a faint-hearted In quisitor, one who can be depended on to shield the guilty, to stifle the scandal and to keep from public view those rascals high in office and In party who were at the bottom of the whole iniquitous business, then Payne Is the man for the place. If this is the President s purpose, then we may well conclude that he has "adequate ground for It In policy," and that ground is not hard to discover. Policy will not permit him to degrade Payne, the friend of Mark Hanna and the intimate of a dozen others of the most influential Republican Senators and party leaders. Policy will not allow the In vestigation to be carried so for as to involve any of those men in high positions whose in fluence might be exerted to defeat Mr. Roosevelt's ambition to serve another term In the Presidential chair. When such defenders as our contemporary come to the President's rescue he may well ' exclaim, "Deliver me from my friends." ' The Oregonlari observes, In defending the President's failure to remove Payne, that Roosevelt is "not the man to shirk from de cisive action -if thai is the proper course for his own, his administration's and his country's good." It Is interesting to note that according to our contemporary, his country's welfare comes last In Mr. Roose velt's consideration. His personal and hla political fortunes are first to be considered then his country. So frank an avowal was scarcely to be expected from a thick-and-thin party organ. The day will come when it will no longer be possible to withhold from the Socialists Frazer indicate that he will not allow the 0f Germany a fair representation hi the na- real Issues in the present case to be clouded by the Introduction of a defense which prop erly belonged only In the prior suit to in validate the warrants. If this shall prove to be his attitude, the case will be greatly Simplified, A LA HE DEFENSE. As might have been expected, our Re publican morning contemporary hastens to the defense of President Roosevelt in his apparent determination to stand by Posi tional legislature. As yet they form buf. a small minority In the Reichstag, but event ually they will dominate it. In view of that certalnt.' it is Interesting to know that the German Socialists are by no means revolu tionary, and they are merely advocates of government of, for and by the people. They demand very little that has not already been realized in the United States. Pacific Coast with its vast wheat fields and Its growing farm Interests is at the gateway of this remarkable opportunity. It Is. too, provided with the raw material. for the manufacture of Iron and steel, which can be furnished to the Orient at a cost not approached by the East. Coal and lumber and salmon are among the riches at the hand of the worker and are the basis of great enterprises. These things are but the basis. Upon this foundation is the . structure being reared. The people are coming in to tha Pacific states. The-constant flood of Im migration Is overrunning the farm sections end adding, to the population of the cities. In 1900 there were In Washington, Oregon and Idaho 89,000,000 acres of gov ernment land open to settlement. Since that time settlers have taken 4,(20,000 and purchasers have taken millions more. This coming population is made up of strong men and women. They know what they are doing; they are no visionary argonauts. In their plans they have definite propositions and they are able to carry them out. Tens of thousands of the best families of the Middle West are on .the Coast today as pioneers, beginning life under more favorable auspices than they met with in the Interior. These people are the hope of the Pacific Coast.. They are the foundation of the Investor's confidence. The loans placed on the Pacific Coast are not ventures In the sense that they are speculative. They are substantial and real. The farms of the coast region can and do pay returns. They can and do make profits above their owners' interest changes. They can and do make fhelr owners well-to-do and this is the kind of a farm that makes a safe loan basis. A farm- mortgage at 6 per cent on a well-located, hon estly valued farm of the Pacific Coast Is as good as a government bond. It will not depreciate in value: it will be based 'on constantly-increasing security. There has been in some of the farm loan business of the great West an element of doubt. There were drought and hot winds to contend with and It took years before the people un derstood the nature of their climate and were prepared to. conduct their business f crop-raising on a permanently safe basis. That day is passing in the plains region; It has never existed on the Pacific Coast. The farming industry of the coast has been free from that element of chance. The fertile soil, the abundance of moisture and the other resource that made the country wealthy united in giving to the settlers a permanent basis for their work at the very beginning. . Another thing; The day of, the boom town on the Coast has gone. The over-built, over-mortgaged city has passed away. The building now going on has come because of the needs of the growing population. Merchants of the Eastern states areendlng their representatives to open up the new territory. Wholesale houses that have never before had representatives In the Pacific Northwest now are sending them there. That means confidence on the part of those who have the most to risk. The Pacific Coast is new. It was only 14 years ago that the State of Washington was udinltled. The first trans-contlnental railroad entered that commonwealth in 1881. The devolpment of the' past two decades has but opened the door. Where are now less than 2,000.000 people there Is room for 15,000,000. The population Is increasing by Jumps of hundreds of thousands a year. Is it any wonder that the miracle of the Pacific Coast js attracting attention throughout the world? Perhaps it is not so much a miracle that the Pacific Northwest tias advanced with such rapidity as that it remained so long undiscovered. But it has taken the events or the past -nan aecaae to give u its greatest opportunity, to snow u tne way to a permanent growth, to make it the gateway to rich Alaskan trade and the traffic of the Orient. Because of all this it appeals to the investor who knows the worth of firm foundations and realizes that the strength of his security is enhanced by every upward step and every new toller in the section he favors. Just now the Pacific Coast section is giving a striking example of the power of American push added to marvelous natural resources. "Bonds and Mortgages" (Chicago). life. cattle trails, over the rocky bedst.pt two can, yons, across a small mountain . range, The Journal team plunged as if aware Of the fact that a human life depended uppn Its speed. It kept the large black horse of W. A. Rob ertson, a cowboy, who was sent to guide the way, at full speed to keep up with The Journal wagon and at one time he was left far in the rear. But for a cut-off taken by the buccarroo when nearly to Drewsey, The Journal wagon would have reached town first. Early in the morning The Journal repre sentatives had been invited to witness the marking and branding of $00 of the Paelflo Livestock Company's cattle, which was to take place In Stinking Water Valley, near the hot springs, seven miles from Drewsey. The place was reached about 10 o'clock in the forenoon and soon the bands of cattle began to appear from over the hills in dif ferent directions and by 11 o'clock the ar rivals footed up a doien bucearroos, includ ing the company's foreman and about 100 head of cattle. A number of the company's most expert men with the lasso were present and the work of lassoing on horseback and marking and branding In the open) plain was both in teresting and exciting. All went well until Bob Ward, a tall, six- foot-two cowboy, riding an unruly horse called "Dynamite," attempted to lasso a wild young bull. The animal had witnessed the fate of many of Its companions and when the cowboy approached swinging the lasso above his head, the young bull left the main band and made for the hills. Ward cut him 0f ' and turned f him toward The Journal wagon in order to give to the representatives of the paper an exhibition of Eastern Ore gon buccaroo skill, A When near the wagon, 'and while his horse and the young bull were running at full speed, ' he let fly his lasso, but the wily animal saw it coming and dashed into clump of tall sagebrush avoiding tha noos of tho rope. . , . ' , This angered the cowboy and he rode into the clump of bushes forcing the animal into the open ( plain again. There an exciting race took place. - Three times the bull avoided the lasso, but at the fourth throw the. noose encircled the animal's neck. Infuriated to the highest pitch the bull dashed under the lasso of another cowboy ' which had encircled another animal's neck. Ward was close behind and his horse was running1 at full speed. The other cowboy attempted to release his tope," Bur the effort was " too late. Ward'a horse -struck the taut rope and -turned s, complete summersault In mid air, V , Ward leaped from his saddle and avoided the first faJI of the horse. But the animal gave another 'lunge . and this time fell " squarely upon Ward's head. J It was. but a moment, but when the dujf ' cleared away the animals had all escapedVk and Ward lay lifeless on the plains. V Dead!" shouted a half dosen of the ex perienced cowboys as they raised the body from the ground. Assltance seemed useless. In fact there was every evidence of death, but De Laney, who had been taking snap shots of the ex citing scenes could not resist a snap-shot of this, the most exciting scene of all. But after several minutes Ward regained ills breath. He was placed in the wagon and by the time Drewsey was reached he had partially regained consciousness. In a few hours he w'as much Improved and the local physician being absent, A. I. Johnson, a local merchant, assisted by the town barber, made several stitches in closing the wound on Ward's head. The wounded cowboy is overflowing with gratitude to his rescuers, and he learned with much amusement of the photograph of him self taken while he was "dead." . . le aVJ A PRESIDENCY FOR CLEVELAND. The tender of the presidency of the University of Virginia to ex-President Cleveland is something more than a compliment. There is a fitness In the proposed honor that commends the suggestion, even though Mr. Cleveland, as reported, does not see his way to accept tle offer, In the South, quite as much as the North, the most distinguished, men, from Jefferson to Stonewall Jackson and Robert j E. Lee and William L. Wilson, have been proud to serve as educators. It was Mr. Jefferson, the first Democratic President, as Mr. Cleveland was the latest, who founded the University of Virginia. And Mr. Jefferson was Justly proud of this feat that he was glad to have placed on his monument this' inscrfptlon, written by himself: "Here was buried Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of American Independ ence, of the statutes of Virginia for religious freedom, and father of the. University of Virginia." In planning the university Mr. Jefferson gave a proof, which may be seen to this day, of that inventive gift of which he made such wide and various use. There was need of two long brick walls on the campus. The university was poor; brick and labor were relatively dear, , Mr. Jefferson was equal to the emergency. He planned for walls of the thickness of but a single brick, and that they might stand as firm as the 15-foot-thIck castle walls of Europe he traced for each a "wave line" like the path of a crawling snake, giving the wall all the bracing effect of a four-foot base with the least possible labor and material. And the walls stood all right. Dr. I. N.. Love had made a profound study of the art of prolonging life and he re marked only a few days before he fell dead master-General Payne.

If President Roosevelt were to carefully canvass his entire official family, he could find no one more utterly unfitted for the conduct of the postoffice Investigation than Payne. For Payne himself is on trial. He stands accused of gross incompetency, of a neglect of the duties of his high position which In itself was a direct Invitation to corrupt Ion u and fratod. He has been in, timately 'allied with the politicians whose -According to the report of a recent ac cident, "the autombbiltst put on full speed ahd escaped, leaving his unconscious victim lying on the pavement." Evidences are be ginning to appear in Portland of the adop tion .of this modern' practice on Portland's streets. The reckless automoblllst should be nipped in the bud. There are all kinds of old fire traps around Portland and there should be the required force of law to rid the city of them. Those who maintain these nuisances should be Im pressed with the fact that. Portland Is to be made "a better place to live in." Those' German editors who were so bitterly denouncing the United States a few months ago have relapsed into silence. Perhaps they have taken ' their cue 'from the Kaiser's sudden friendliness toward America. BALFOUR ON THE .LINKS. . Even on the golf links the prime minister, Mr. Balfour, never forgets himself, and at times the links or the sport that Is to be had therefrom are as trying as a lagging debate in the House of Commons. Some time ago during a recess Mr. Balfour traveled to St. Andrews, in Scotland, to stretch timself on the links and enjoy a quiet game. One day he hired a caddie who was no mean exponent of the game, but at the first dflve Mr. Balfour topped his ball, which rolled pathetically into a bunker not far from a neighboring, green. Mr. Balfour was the personification of decorum. "Tush, tush! Tush, tush!" was all he said, but his looks belied him. At the next drive the result was rather different, for a cubic foot of sod was uprooted from the well-kept teeing ground. Again the same ineffective protest. Yet a third time the prime minister's driver missed the mark, and yet again the feeble protest "Tush, tush!" The caddie could, stand it no longer. "Hoot, mon!" he exclaimed, his fiery-red hair bristling with suppressed indignation. "Tush, tush! will nae send the ba' where ye want it! Try sommut else!" THEIR LOVELY HOME. Mia salary was $1,000 a year, and he had Just proposed to Miss Clara Llghthead and been accepted, artd both were exquisitely happy until she said: "And you don't know how lovely our home will be, Charles.
