MAKE PORTLAND PARAMOUNT
THE city of Portland ought to be
paramount on Bull Run river.
The state and federal govern
ments attempted to make It
paramount there.
There is no comparison between
the water supply of a great city and
the petty affairs of a commercial
power corporation. No Issue ever
ought to arise in which a quarter of
a million people should be challenged
in their right to water supply by any
establishment devoted to private
profit. The necessities of human
life are more momentous than a dol
lar or the private affairs of a mere
man.
Already, the right of Portland to
an adequate water supply from Bull
Run river is challenged. Claims are

stretched out motionless with blood
issuing from his ears will not soon
forget the sight.
Another boy was hurt in an acci

happened on the same bridge in a
month. The traffic Is so heavy that
the bridge foreman has appealed for

used by tens of thousands who would
seek that opportunity of viewing the

(the history of man. With cheaper
rates, other tens of thousands would

omy, while another multitude would
utilize It as a vncatlon and sight-see
ing trip. Cheaper freight rates and
as quick delivery would turn a huge
volume of traffic to the water line.
Portland comprehends the Issue.

other coast ports on the promised

The Journal After viewing; the draw

of the scheme, for a city beautiful, but

the city of Portland to tackle, alao

a few of the more bold ones have been

Now you old mesa, Just wake up long
enous;h to po and take a look at the
drawings, the first thins; for you to
study will he the water front, compare
It with the preset'!, or your Ideal of a
waterfront, an eyesore to every person
that comes Into the city and an ever
lasting disgrace to Its citizens and ship
ping; interests. Of course, we know
that there has been bonds enough voted
at the last election to build a dock al
most large enough to take care of a
whole schooner l,ad of cement Or pig
Iron.
After you are through looking at the
waterfront rlrawlng. look for Burnside
street. On another drawing east side of
the building, note the difference of a
real city artery, and the present cow
trails that lead tn the bridges, but I
would alvlse you not to think of the
cost of any of these Improvements,
Fhsuld you he pat middle life, because
It will mean heart failure right then
and there. A dollar for Improvement
of the city will ciuise sudden death of
a Portlanrier quicker than prusslc achl.
To even start the widening of Ilurn
slde street would mean war, the Broad
way bridge deal would be nothing to
compare with such nn undertaking; It
would be absolutely Impossible to take
a slice from Burnside street as was done
with Pike street In Seattle, the condem

SEVEN NATIONAL SONG WRITERS
Francis Scott Key.
"The Star Spangled Banner" is gen
erally acclaimed as one of the noblest
and most inspiring of American songs.
It is more frequently recited and sung
on patriotic occasions and in the
schools than any American song, with
the exception, perhaps, of "America."
The circumstances under which It was
written give it peculiar Interest. ItH
author was Francis Scott Key, a somo
what Insignificant lawyer whose prao
tloe was In Maryland and in Washing
ton. Key was born In the midst of
the American revolution, on August 1,
1779, In Frederick county, Maryland,
and died In Baltimore on January 11,
1843. A large national flag floats over

Key has written many poems, a vol
ume of which was published ln 1 866,
but "The Star Spangled Banner" alone
makes his name immortal. The follow
ing Incident called out the writing of
this sung: Key was in custody on the
Hrltlsh frigate Surprise during the at
tack on Fort McIIenry. September 18,
1S14, and the poem vividly describes
what he there witnessed. From the ves
sel he anxiously watohed the flag on
the forts during the day and through
the night, by "the rockets' red arlare,"
and to his Joy saw In the morning the
i "broad Rtrlpes and bright stars'" still
"KUllantly streaming" and the British
beating a retreat.
Key began to write the stanzas on
the ship and upon his release com
pleted them at a hotel ln Baltimore.
He sent the poem to the "Haltlpiere
American." and the paper printed the
words ln a special edition which sold
quickly ln the streets, and before night
it was being sung by half the inhabi
tants of Baltimore to the air ot iAn
acreon ln Heaven."
So It is true that while the words
of this patriotic hymn were purely
American, the melody was composed
by ' an Kngllshman, John Stafford
Smith, and was designed to suit thu
fense of Fort McHenry." The introduc
tion read as follows:
"The annexed song was published un

Seattle shipping and commercial men,
till daisied by the mere description of
the (18,000,000 project, reoently '-ret"
Jolced In new amazement at news from
Boston, that construction will begin at
a very early date upon the 16 steam
ships It is proposed to establish as a
Panama Canal line to connect New Tork
and Seattle. The announcement came
with the authority of the incorporators
of the Atlantic A Pacific Transport
company, the corporation organized with
the object of building the fleet, and
credence is given locally because of the
unquestioned stability and high standing
of these men.
Seattle has been hearing a great deal
of the projected line since the corrilns;
to Seattle, a few days ago, in connec
tion with the company's bdsinesi, of Us
president, Bernard N. Baker, one of the
best known ocean transportation men ln
America. Mr. Baker's descriptions of
the gigantic undertaking were heard
several times at local meetings with
representatives of local commercial arid
shipping Interests. He made a big
impression, and Interested consideration
of the projeot has continued to the pres
ent, although Mr. Baker left several
days ago. He now Is In San Franolsco
on a mission similar to that which
brought him here..
In the advices reoelved here yesterday
assuranoes were given that construction
work on the great fleet will begin lust
aa soon as necessary preliminary details
can be disposed of. It is Imperative
to fulfill one of the main objects of the
scheme that of taking advantage of tha
canal at tne earliest possible moment
to get a fleet ready for servloe Just as
soon as the big task can be completed.
The company declares that all of the
vessels will be completed within 14
months from the present date.
n he vessels which are to be of the
highest class of their type will have a
speed of at least 16 knots and will be
built under supervision of officers of
the United States navy. They are to be
available for use as transports ln time
of war and are to be so designed that
they will get a substantial subsidy from
the government.
The organization of the Une which
means so much for Seattle Is the first
step in preparation for the commercial
use or the Panama Canal.
It Is the Intention to extend all these
mall routes through the Panama Canal
and make complete trips from the ports
of the Pacific to those of the Atlantic
every week the year around. This will
make possible the opportunity for full
return cargoes without rehandling In
transit.
In order that the trade advantages of
the canal may be developed to the
greatest benefit and profit to the people
of the Vnlted States, the postmaster-
general has Instructed the bidders for
mall contracts that no contracts will be
awarded "to any -bidder who shall be
engaged in any competitive transporta
tion business by rail." The charter of
the company conforms to this condition.

dawn his eye was again greeted by the
proudly waving flag of his country."
The flag that floated over Fort Mc
Henry, and was the Inspiration for this
patriotic son?, is now preserved in the
national museum at Washington.
Extensive preparations are now un
der way to have a centennial celebra
tion of the writing of this song on Its
birthday ln 1814. The proposition to
have this celebration was first sua:-
gested by the Society of the War of
1812, and to be held ln Baltimore, with
appropriate ceremonies at the grave of
the author.
A distinguished southern editor pays
the following tribute to the flag and to
Key: "The Star Spangled Banner! Was
ever flag so beautiful; did ever flag so
fill the souls of men? The love of wo
man, the Sense of duty, the thirst for
glory; the heart throbbing that Impels
the humblest American to stand by his
colors, fearless in defense of his na

symbolized by the broad stripes and

that is that I think the persons defend-

Too Well Trained.
From the-Chicago Evening Post.
Fred Lennox, spending the summer
ln Chicago, took a flat close to a rail
road, which he' surrendered after a
week's occupancy.
"1 think I could have become used to
the "trains going by ln the night," he
said, "but every; morning at S two en
gines came under my window anjj re

Whenever I go to a shady retreat whore
Nature has worked at her best
And I think I'll sit down at the rear of
my feet and give my fatigued
self a rest.
I pull out my pipe with sweet visions
of peace; for a whiff o' the weed

But I strike me a match and then come
ttie ponce to point out the sign
board: "No smoking."-
In, the street cars and cabs, in the parks
and the stores they keep us poor
guys on the run,
The "smoke-less" brigade nails the
sign on the doors nnd the chew
ing gum kids have the fun.
Wherever 1 go I'm afraid to light up,
though for Just one small whiff
I'm near croaking.
For tho Bntls nro there with "Beware-of-the-Cup,"
and the nlpht-mar-ish
slogan, "No smoking. '
There 1s only one place where the "No
Smoking" signs will not give me
a cold, clammy fit;
And when I am beckoned to go up the
line and cash ln my red chips and
quit.
I tiope that Til go to the plnce over
there and there's not the least
reason for joking
Where the signs will be shown In large

plain and earnest: "No Smoking."
Troubles of an Editor.
From the Heppner Times.
Editor John P. McMannus, '' of the
Pilot Hock Record, waa chased over
four or five townships one day last
week by an insane old man who had
a bad looking gun, and who had a
grievance against the editor. It Is hard
for an editor to. publish a good paper
when the majority of his time is oc-
upled ln dodging, sidestepping or run
