"If a man be sincerely wedded to Truth, he must make up Ms mind to find her a portlon- less virgin, and he must take her for' herself alone..

" . - " THE JJEW YEAR A HUNDRED years ago, 75 per cent of the babies born In Lon don died In infancy. But the world has been unlocking the secrets -of science, and now 75 per tent of the babies are saved. Fifty years ago, 90 per cent of diphtheria patients died; now 90 per cent live. Yesterday, France was unable to build, the Panara i canal, largely be cause laborers could not survive there. The scene of their operations along the route ,was a tharnel house of skeletons Today, as a rosult of the revelations ef sanitary science, we axe digging the canal with no further Jobs of life than that Incl 'dent to ordinary 'latitudes. Yester 'day, yellow fever was the scourge of the south-and the plague of it was the bane of tropical latitudes. But today, the civilized world is. thro u eh the discoveries of Investigation, safe-M , ly delivered from all plagues. When Newton was applauded f6r Ijla achievements, be replied that he had only wandered around like a schoolboy on the beach ef the bound less ocean, picking up a shining peb ble here and there, and that others to come after him would sail far out to sea, gathering new truths for the use of men. And so It has been. A man at .Harvard fbe other day demonstrated the, sources yf the Au rora Borealls, that brilliant .spectacle that has long been a riddle at w,hich scientists guessed. The human mind Is actually grappling with the prob lem-of entering Into communica tion with supposed Inhabitants of the planet Mars, a problem that, judged by the triumphs of the past, man will ultimately solve. It is- . cream to stagger the imagination, but who shall glance back at ttfevlc tories of two centuries an&Vplace limits on the powers of the human mind! " It is but 200 years since fyie real conquest of civilization began. It Is within that period that have come to; pass the discoveries and inven tions that have made the world worth living, in. It has substituted the great ocean grayfiound for the .puny caravel, that could only sail with celerity -when the winds were fair! Before the period we carried messages around the world on foot and horseback, but now we girdle it by a cable in a minute of time and flash wireless through the ether 3500 miles. When Stephenson ap plied steam to rail he was derided, and when he finally demonstrated his theory, it was believed the limit had been -reached But Fulton conquered the water with the same motive power, and now the Wrights have made the conquest of the air and we fly. Until the later '70s the true analysis of consumption had not been made, and all of the victims on whom it fastened its tentacles were doomed. Now we cure 75 to 80 per cent, and it is within but a very few years that we have learned the secret of how to do it. , And so, the new man with his new science is making a new world.-We are conquering disease, adding to human comfort, mitigating toi!4 im proving governments and gradually eliminating the Ills that flesh is heir to. The best forces in human en deavor are directed to emancipation of mankind and to placing in man's hands appliances for his comfort, his facility and his happiness. With the progress of the past as a guide, we can step into the New Year full of optimism of still better things to come. In the victories we have won t'.:?re Is boundless hope and brilliant pro: p't. for the future, and as the old yea. asses into the shadow land our adieu ; It is as one full of cheer at the p. j.--.lse of peace, plenty and progress.

But be cause of this change, of this passing of . a point of time, the world be comes interested, joyful, playful like children, over something new. We could not endure life without new things. Every change of date ts something new. Every morning life Is new. Every day each one has some new experience, Is to some ex tent a new creature, even If newly aged. Every day the earth yields new things to sustain life. Every day God's bounties and blessings are renewed. . The new year Is a fit time to be come more than ordinarily new peo ple; to become, clean, to renew pur ity of mind and vitality of con sciencef" to begin a new, a-brighter and better record. NOW WATCH OREGON GROW P ERHAP9 no Oregon county has made as much progress, rela tively, during 1909 as Wal lowa. This is due -to the con- nrnipHrtn nf a ratlrno thrnno-h tha Wallowa valley last year. Alreadytow, fol!sh !h 0ref n. KZVt W,U population and products have greatly increased, lands, and livestock have advanced In value, the railroad has done a large and profitable business, and industry and enterprise have sprung Into existence almost-as Rod erick Dhu'a men sprang into sight at the blast; of his horn at Coilanto- gie'a ford. ; An even greater transformation, In a far more extensive region, will be witnessed next year and for suc ceeding years In central Oregon, into which two' railroads via the Des chutes canyon are being built with all possible speed. And other rail roads, or branches of these, will also be' built Into and through' that great region causing an Influx of tens of thousands of people, a large advance guard of whom have" already arrived. This has Been the biggest thing that has happened. in Oregon lh 1909. For many years that country has lain .waiting, dormant, the late Mr. Harriman declining to. build there until it was more settled aniTpro ductlve; but all at once he and Mr. Hill simultaneously decided that it would pay to' build a railroad in there, these railroads will be extended far into this region next year, and the consequence will be such ' develop ment of '. Oregon as has never oc curred in any year before. But this will Happen,' too, in other parts of the state. Next year'wHl see a railroad to Tillamook com pleted, perhaps two, which, will open up a large new region of- timber, lands, much dairying country and a tleld for thousands of new home makerB in the near future. The Immensely resourceful Coos bay region is bound to have rail roads before long; in all probability 1910 will Bee one or more well un der way. As In the caBe of central regon, it will have two or more about as soon as It has one. These will- mean tremendous development of that reglon, more annually for years to come than has taken place In: as many past decades. " Electric lines will also be pushed on through the Willamette valley from Salem to Albany and Eugene, and elsewhere. The Natron-Kla-math Falls line will be completed, not only makfng a shorter route and easier grades between Willamette valley and California points, but opening up another new region to development. The Pacific & East ern 'will be extended. One or more roads from Willamette valley to oast points will, be projected the one from Eugene to Sluslaw ought to materialize soon. One or more Transcascade routes are not improb able. The Molalla line is only one of sever aTIocaT prbjecte that will be pushed forward. No one can doubt that 1910 Is going to be a 'great development year for Oregon THE GOLD BRICK SCHEME "A PUBLIC service commis sion is what Portland needs to provide her with an adequate streetcar serv ice, and the, Initiative and referen dum will get it for us. We need not bother any longer trying to get a bill through a legislature or through a council governed by public serv ice companies. We have means of getting just laws now, and we will get them." Such were the expressions of the speakers and such the sentiment at a mass meeting of cltKens,, repre senting 41 Improvement clubs on the east side, at Portland Wednesday evening. And thus, It Is the Initia tive and referendum that safe and sane business men say they can turn to, for redress. Yet, there is a movement in Ore gon to scuttlethe initiative and ref erendum. The proposed assembly Is the first step In the movement. The men most powerful in the assembly scheme loathe the initiative and ref erendum. Some of them openly an nounce their hostility, but others are secretive in their antagonism. "We must,get rid of the whole busi ness, direct primary, direct choice of senator, and direct legislation," was the frank statement of a man high up in j the Republican Organizatioa to a friend the other day. It is' be cause the attack: is Tor the present covertvand' veiled that the situation is dangerous for all the measures. But the true purpose is fully known, and th plan easy to divine. The Portland machine will see to it that the men they want will be put up by We county assemblies for the legislature. ' The state assembly con- .ventlon will put forth "a ' candidate for-governor who will stand in with the scuttle, program.- Plans will be laid, deep and dark for throwing the next senatorial election into the leg islature in order to prevent he, peo ple from .having any voice in the matter. The constitutional conven tion will be whooped up as a fur ther asset of scuttle. Violent at tempt will be made to win the .Re publican organization ' and commit ttre-whole party to the bold but se cret scheme of ecuttle. This is the real program, though, for prudential reasons, it Is now masked beneath false professions of friendship for the primary law and- false pretensss with reference to the Initiative And referendum. Meantime, "We want a public service commission," said the speak era at the east side mass meeting while seeking redress; "and wa can get It through the initiative' and ref erendum. We need not bother any longer trying to get a bill through a legislatureor through a council. We have the means of getting Just laws now, and we will get them. be if, having as they do in their- own ha'nds means of carrying out their will and enforcing - their - purposes, they permit a crowd of schemers to steal away their rights by a bunko game assembly and other false pre tenses.' It the assembly advocates ate on the level; if they are honest and fair in-their Intentions; if they are not Juggling, why not submit the question of holding an assembly to a vote of the people 7 Is not their re fusal to do scarradmlssion of guilt? Does It not indicate that they have underhanded and covert designs? BIG BATTLESHIPS AND PEACE T HE battleship Utah, launched a few days agor la 521 feet long " and has a dfsplacement of 21,825 tons. The great est new ship of the British navy Is 555 feet in length, but has a displacement ot only 19,000 tons. Two Vessels recently be gun for the. German navy, are 570 ieet long and their displace ment is 23,000 tons. Now jthe Brit ish admiralty has planned a vessel of 600 .feet In length, and a -displace ment of 2,5,000 tons. Less than. 10 years ago warships of only 10,000 tons displacement - yere being, built and up to 1905 nphe of over 15,'6"00 tons had been constructed. Thje largest ot our battleships up to 1898 had ll,565 -tons displacement. At this rate of, Increase, what monsters will be conceived and constructed In another decade or two? Are they necessary? Will they pay? .The New York American, that has been a vigorous advocate of a great American navy, one equal at least to Great Britain's, now sayB: "Out of the world knowledge and the world touch of this twentieth century it should be possible to formulate a plan of universal peace. The time has come when there should be no more wars forever more.'1 Five "nations, the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Rus sia and Japan," could bring this about. Their own economic inter ests demand such action. ''Every kingdom Is a camp, and every Cir cumscribing Bea is alive with ships. The standing armies are, colossal, and Dreadnaught follows Dread naught in frenzied competition on the seven setts. Starving treasuries and peoples taxed to desperation maintain the gigantic engineries of slaughter, while industry and devel opment lag at theheels of soldiery. The greater kingdoms are going bankrupt In the . maintenance ' of fleets and armies, and the p"ple are cramped and thwarted In their strug gle toward prosperity. " This is the psychological moment in the history of the world to -sound the appeal for universal peace." The sugestlon made some months ago In the Independent that Theo-1 dore Roosevelt De cauea ana. com missioned to lead this"peace evangel among the great nations has been renewed.- He is the most distin guished and popular private Citizen of the world, and is held in high repute by the rulers df other na tions, especially the emperor of Ger many, whose cooperation would be the most difficult to obtain. The first motion toward such an enter prise should be made by President Taft. ..Will he make' it? Or would Roosevelt, who has martial instincts, consent? To bring about such a consumma tion would be a far higher honor and would yield a far greater and enduring glory than to be president, king or emperor. Rugby alsojhas Its victims. In a Vancouver, B: C, hospital a player In a late game Is hovering between life and death. A kick in the head and an Injury Ju the back , caused him to be carried unconscious out of the game. The proportion of play-, ers in the Rugby game to the num-. ber In American football Is about as one grain of eand on an ocean beach. Once there" came from the Univer sity of California the account of a Rugby player in a hospital with a broken Jaw, two broken ribs and other injuries. If football were played under croquet rules the spirit, aggressiveness and enthusiasm -M the American My would be sure to introduce an element of danger If all the tens andTiundreds of thou sands of boys' in the country who play football played Rugby instead, thertJ would be a casualty list,. Just the same. .-However, there Js to be 'modification of the American game and It ;is:fully desirable, but still there will be accidents, just as there are accidents In "every actlyity and at every spot all over the whole earth. ' TA11CL BY HU.1S OVl&MOLX v REFKAIN OF THE PARTING YEAR. The old year wipes away a tear and . sadly steals away At midnight; with no-one to oheer, npr e'en tha light of dsjr.

Letters From tlie People A Oorroction That Does No Correct. Albany, Or, Dec. 21. To the Editor of The Journal Permit me to call your attention tp a serious inaccuracy in the editorial In the Sunday Journal of the 19th Inst, "entitled A Curious In- harrnony." This editorial treats of the relationship existing between federal and state authority. It calls attention to the sale of Intoxicating liquors In territory where such sale is prohibited by the state. You say: "The revenue officers (United States officials) Issue federal licenses to boot 'ieggers and other illicit dealers 1 dry territory though 'the state law makes the sale of intoxicants In that district unlawful." The inaccuracy is found in this state ment. The United States does not Is sue licenses to sell Intoxicants In any state in the union. . That power was never delegated by the states to tho general government nor does the general government claim such power. The general government, In order to raise reyenue to maintain the government, taxes every, retail and, wholesale dealer a specified' amount but does not give any man," men, or corporation a license to sell. If the revenue officers ascer tain that any man is selling Intoxicants In dry territory, whether as "blind pigger," boot legger" or otherwise, they at once proceed to collect the yearly tax witnout regard to the Question whether the- territory Is dry or not. After the "boot legger" or "blind pig. ger" has paid his revenue tax and pro ceeds to sell, the state will step In and prosecutxbim for violating the state law and the general government has no power to interfere. The time has been reached when the general public should know, and know 'once for all, that the general government does not license any one to sell In any state. It merely taxes the-man's business whether he 'is In dry or wet territory. V ' T. J. STILES, y (The Journal Is not. In error. 'Under the laws of the United States, internal revenue officers collect a tax of 126 yearly from retail ndt flDO from whole sale Htiuor dealers, and issue a receipt therefor. Payment of the tax secures to the dealer the privilege of selllrig In toxicating liquors, onwhloh account the receipt lor the tax . thsBt the dealer holda is usually; referred tos a "gov-J W ernment , license,"- though technically speaking It, Is not a. license.'

Holman, President ot TILLAMOOK COUNTY. Tillamook county was created by the territorial legilature December 16, 1863. (Special Jaws of 1863-4, page 6.) 1 comprised parts df the western por tions of Yamhill and Clatsop counties and, possibly, of Polk County.' As an .Instance of how loosely the boundary lines of counties were de scribed in acts of the legislature. In early, days, the following is the de scription of the boundaries of Tilla mook county as given in the legislative act creating U. at county; "All that poi tlon of Tamhlll and Clat sop counties embraced within the fol lowing-boundaries, towit: .Commencing at a range of hills near the., Paeifle4 ocom, north of tha Nehalem river, known as Saddle mountain, thence east following the summit of . sad Tange; of hills to the summit of the Coast Nrango of mountains, thence south, following the summit of said Coast range ot mountains, te the southern boundary-of, Polk county; thence due west to the' Pacific ocean, thence along the sea shore to the place of beginning." (Spe cial lawS of 1863-4, page 6.) . - ,, 1 Possibly instead of the southern, the northern boundary of Polk county was intended, for the latter is the southern boundary of Yamhill county, and Polk oounty . Is not otherwise . mentioned ' as having a portion of it. Included In Til lamook coanty. ;:v, -Its nam is derived from a small trjbe of Indians, whose habitat was near and south of Tillamook head. In the original wrnals of'" Lewis and Clark the name Is spelled Kllamox and Klllamuck, volume 4, pages 12, 49. and 183; volume 6. pages 71 and 111.

In effect the tax receipt is, a li cense, and the point made by The Jour nal is that, federal law ought to be so fashioned that such a receipt or license should ot be Issued to persona wish ing to engage In the Sale of liquor in dry territory. The correspondent's claim is that Che tax receipt does not have the effect of a license, In which he ia mistaken, ' since , b6ot ieggers are. fre quently found .with their receipts i in their possession, and while engaged In the sale of liquors in dry territory.
