Yesterday's , accept- ' . ance of 4500,000 bonds by Boston buyers turns obstructionism into ' rout They have lost in what would aeem to be their last stand. They are without a solitary hope of fur ther delaying the structure. Why . do they not accept the inevitable like aane men and quit? ' All they can-do now is to beat down the price of bonds. Their 'k suits, their attacks on the bonds, " their representations to distant buy . ers only serve to lower the price the securities bring In the market. They c do not prevent the sale. They do - not stop work on the bridge. They merely make the purchasing power of the bridge bonds less, which makes the bridge cost more. What is the use to fight further v. when all that can be accomplished Is to further victimize the city flnan dally? What Is the use for the ob- ' structlonists to spend more of their own money to make the city lose . money? ' They have already spent large turns in obstruction.. All It has amounted to was the earlier delay to the bridge, the infinite trouble to which it has subjected city authori ties and friends of the bridge, and lowered prices for the bonds. What is the, use of spending more money now In a business that does nothing sut cost the obstructionists heavily and cost . the people of Portland 1 heavily? When the courts decided against obstruction, the building ' of tbe bridge was settled. Law and courts , will stand in this country. They still mean something to a vast propor tion of American citizenship. When tbe law and the courts say a bridge - - shall be built, It will be built When a majority of the people determine through legal processes at the bal lot that's bridge shall be built, it .1will and should be built We are not going back to chaos ; and permit, a little group with more money ' than patriotism to decide what shall or shall not be done. We are not going to permit a few dol lars, a bunch of legal quibbles and a lawyer to fix the policies of the city of Portland. Men who are at tempting through obstruction to this bridge to inaugurate such a rule in this city should know by this time that they cannot succeed. They should stop their obstruc tion. Th-y are hopelessly beaten. Their opposlton has become a farce. The bridge is being built. To not all of them waa It given to lay down their lives for their fatherland.

Every man who has the public welfare at heart is interested In some of these ; subjects. While the people of southwestern Washington are making a serious study of conditions, it is well to re member that it Is but a short span from Portland to Puget sound, and that state lines are merely Imaginary barriers. Portland is as such inter ested in the permanent development of southwestern Washington as she is in the growth of eastern Oregon or southern Oregon. Portland is , bound to be the metropolis of all the great Columbia river basin? and , southwestern Washington canaot get ; avay from being tributary to Port land, even were the disposition strong to do so. If the develonment nnenctaHnn , takes hold of the important problems before It as was done at the last con tention, at Vancouver, Oregon should get a number of valuable les sons in gathering capital for the de- velopment of logged off lands and in the movement to colonize lands near great milling industries.

Enough effort has been brary have not been obscured. There wasted In Oregon to gridiron the are 63 miles of main shelving, and state with turnpikes. The waste haa a capacity in book stacks for four been going on for 60 years minion volumes. To contain books, Road building is an art.

He was so much better than readers, haB been the ultimate aimf others as a road builder that his never lost sight of in the providing name is a household word. It has of carved pillars, elaborate frescoes and decorated ceilings. The main book stack consists of an immensely long, narrow and high framework of cast iron and steel, backed up against the rather slim end wall of the building. Further, above the seven tiers or stories of the stacks Is the main reading room, a tremendous apartment of the same area as the stack, and 60 feet high, also backed up against the end wall of the building. The architects designed this stack so that it should be an integral part of ihe building'B whole, the seven tiers of the stack taking the place of the steel frame work of the ordinary building. The great reading room is on the top floor, 295 feet long, 77 feet wide, and more than 10 feet high. It is divided in the middle by a double screen of intricately carved oak about 10 feet high, .with a narrow balcony, giving a (view of the whole room. Another narrow balcony sur rounds the chamber. In the entire, arrangement the ideas were followed that were laid down by Bernard , R, Green, U. S. C. E., who had charge of the "con struction of the Library of Con ere In Washington.

The ag ricultural college does well to make good farming and good roads Joint phases of Its training. WHAT CANADA TAKES FROM.TJS S' OME FACTS given in the re port from United States Consul Felix S. S. Johnson, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, issued by the United States department of com merce and. labor on May,, 15, arfe worth repeating. All tbe provinces pf Canada ex cept Ontario, he says, are short in production of eggs, which are sup plied from the United States and In winter the Ontario export also stops. During the summer season butter, eggs, potatoes, fruits, vegetables and berries have averaged the same price on each side of . the border, while rents and the cost of living are higher on the Canadian side. During winter and spring all these things, and; meat as well, are import ed 'from : the United -states. .- The ble to do In the day time. "But It's a slave's life. The worry and responsibility added to the wild hours of hustling are stupendous. The chief has to know -every new street and every new building in tne city, ana every material change In any streets or group or buiiaings. lie nas to Know his city like a book and much of bis time la spent Inspecting the city, which is no mean Job In a town that grows and changea as fast as New Tork does. Then he la responsible for the up-keep and equipment of the department and to be a successful chief he should be ac quainted with the apparatus and the special capacities of every company. He should know exactly what he has to call upon. For Instance, I can tell you to a dot the number of men and the kind of men, the appartus and even the color of "the horses in every flrehouse In this city today. To carry all that In your head, -when you have 25 S com panies and 4600 men, la not a task for a scatter-brain.- Then there Is the busi ness of the department, which ln- itself Is enough to keep a man busy without having fires to fight Repairs, for ex ample. If a man from any flrehouse came ln here this afternoon and said that the roof of hla engine house needed repairing, I could tell him almost to a day when that house waa built and when it was repaired last, and aa much about it probably as he knows himself. All these matters, of course, had to be dis cussed at headquartera and that waa the most Irksome task of alL Fighting a fire is exciting work, even ln pajamas on a winter flight, as I know from ex perience, but I'd rather answer a three alarm fire every day in the week than spend two hours at headquarters talk. Ing business." Again the German Ingenuity. From the Philadelphia North American. There have been so many disastrous explosions of dust and gases ln deep coal mines ln various parts of the world, caused ln many Instances by the use of explosives ln tearing the coal asunder, making it eaay for the work men to remove It with their tools, that a great effort has been made among engineers and mechanics to find a safer method of putting the coal in condition to be easily removed. In Germany a system is being used. that promises to ' go Into general use. Instead of the powder or other power rui explosives oeing used, holes are drilled deep into the coal vein Just as if blasts were to be lnsertel; but ln stead a pipe Is Inserted and a heavy pressure of water forced into the block of dry coal. The water finds Its way Into the crevices ana produces others. and ln a short time such a pressure has been brought to bear on the coal that it opens up and Is ready for the men with their picks and shovels, and no dust or dry gas has been formed. It is Stated this method Is even more rapid, as there is no loss of time by the men waiting for a mine .or shaft to clear itself of the poisonous fumes pro duced by tbe explosives. Pike County Farming. From the "Washington Star. Senator Burnham, in a recent address In Manchester, said of agriculture: 'There are some of our New Hamo- shire farmers who complain of the stoniness of the New Hampshire soiL but If these good men would visit Pike county, ln the Pennsylvania wilds, they would learn wnai stony ana sterile Soil really Is. . "A Pike county farmer was once talk ing to a fisherman from Porter's lake. " Tm goln' to light out," he said; 'I'm golh' to New England or Canada' ' - " 'Ground too rocky for farming, eh t" said the 'fisherman. . X . " Tea. aaia tne farmer. . v Til be whanged if I'm goln to waste any more time work! n', ground so hard arid rocky that you've got to plant wheat with shotgun.'" - Unlike Powhatan and Massasolt, who have preceded, Tecumseh seemed never to lose, for a moment, through his long life, his hatred for the United States, for the people who came to take from him and hla people their land, and all the efforts of the celebrated Bhawnee diplomat, orator and soldier were to crush the permanent settlers. He not only tried to accomplish this through his own warriors, Dut ne aiways joineu the British ln their efforts to subdue the country, not because ne lovea mem more, but he found pleasure In a re venge of whatever character. Tecumseh was born near Bprlngfleld, Ohio, ln 1T8, and while still a young nun ha won fame in tne campaign against General Anthony Wayne's Yan kee troops, in spue or many eirona nothing could soften his hatred. He was a great schemer and he formed the Dlan of uniting all the warring western tribes and to form them into a mighty federation whose object was to destroy the white men. Thla e-reat plan looked rather promis ing for a time, but it was nipped In the bud at the famous battle of Tippecanoe, when CJeneral William Henry Harrison won his famous victory over tne in dl&na. Tecumseh was not present at tnis bat tle, but his defeat did not discourage him. The War of 1S1J was at nana. mnii ilka t firebrand he swept through h Bnnth. Almost everywhere his fierce eloquence drew the Indians to his standard. Tecumseh was crafty. While he him self knew better., he tried to work upon the superstitions of the more Ignorant Indians. He told them he bore a mes sage from the Great Spirit, who ordered them to side with the British. Big Warrior, another powerful chief, doubt ed this and demanded proof. "I will give you proori" snoutea xe- oumseh. "When the hour ror tne up rising comes you snau see my arm stretched like pale fire across the heavens. I go now to Detroit. When T arrive there I Shall Stamp my foot, and every house In your village shall fall to' the ground." This was In the autumn f 1812. In December of that year a comet stretched aoross the skies, and an earthquake overturned the Creek village. This was proof enough for the Creeks that Tecumseh was Inspired. They rose against the government, and ln less than two years their "nation" i waa wrecked. Of. course, the British may have told Tecumseh that a comet was due at a certain time, but how he managed to foretell the earthquake no one knows. Tecumseh waa made a brigadier gen eral by the British, and at the head of mighty . warriors along the Canadian border they did mighty deeds against the United States. Says one British historian: "But for the red men led hy the brave Tecumseh, It la probable we should not now have Canada." One thing to hla credit, Tecumsen alwaa fought fair, whtcTK Is particu larly Illustrated in his saving the Amer ican prisoners from, torture following 'he siege of Fort Meigs. Though he hated every white man, he would never permit a captive to be tortured or turned. Just before the battle of the Thames Tecumseh laid aside hla 'gorgeous uni form and aword and donned his simple hunting dress. ' In reply as to why he had done this, be answered simply and fearlessly: "Tnls day I ahall die." Nor after the battle could fcny trare of him be fonnd. It waa claimed, but never proven, that Colonel Richard Johnson killed blm. But his body was not discovered on the field. Superstitious natives believed he . was miraculously spirited away to the happy hunting grounds. His exact fate still a mystery. Several historians note that he was burled near the battlefield under large oak. but if such was the base no one was ever able to find his grave. The British government granted a pen sion to his widow and to his son gave aword. Tecumseh struggled in vain against the Inevitable. He fought a good fight but the odds against him were too great A splendid illustration of the charaoter of the fighter is told in 'his letter to General Harrison at Fort Meigs, which ran: General Harrison: I have with me 800 braves.

From Lewlston Teller. ' . Erery little While the cry is started that , there is danger of an over pro duction of apples. This usually comes from those who are not only Ignorant As learaed' Wlsions of affairs of . o pre(Msnt eonmlons but have for. The : talks oiv commerce and on art and gotten : facts about former apple pro duction. Those who have rnost to do wlththe shipping and sale of apples agree that there la no Immediate or prospective . danger of over produc tion. ., . , For the past seven years the total production of apples V In the United States has averaged about one-half of the production of 1896. In the II years that have elapsed, the popula tion has Increased probably 80,000,000, so that a 100,000,000 barrel crop now would be no more than a 69,000,000 barrel crop was In 1896, It is safe to say that fully 18 more years will elapse before the apple production reaches 100,000,000 barrels, and, meanwhile, an additional 85,000,000 or more will have been added to the population. There will come a time when the area for successful . apple production will have Deen taaen up ana tne maximum of production will be reached, while the population Increase will continue In definitely. It can thus be seen that the danger of an over production of ap ples Is , very remote. , f Not only is the. home market grow ing, but new markets are being found abroad, yet the . marketing of. apples Is yet in Its Infancy, so far as sys tematic management is- - concerned. Scientific , grading, 'packing, 1 handling and marketing Will eventually 'i result in' a more perfect distribution of tha apple crop, so that the needs of both producer , and consumer will be fret. There Is danger of poor.- distribution. I but no danger of over production. , Further. Legislation for Niagara Falls wrnm the Chicago Record -Herald.
