force. It In the Pacific Coast. 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

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. '

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.

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).

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

horse -struck the taut rope and -turned s,

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." . .

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.

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!"
