Bills have been introduced in the
Oregon legislature asking appropriations
for the improvement of wagon roads,
which in the aggregate call for $-49,000.
So far the matter of making an appro
priation for the Columbian exposition
has not come up, and it is safe - to sny
that a bill to appropriate $250,000 will
not pass. There is too much money re
quired for internal improvements, wagon
roads and portage railroads that the
people demand to help them. There is
a growing sentiment that advertising
Oregon is not going to help the farmer,
and the farmer is the man who of all
Oregonians needs help the worst. Ad
vertising Oregon will bring the peeple
here, but that is not what is wanted
just yet, so much as transportation
facilities by those already here. With
an open river we have unlimited room
for immigrai8, but with the present
transportation facilities immigrants are
not wanted. The railroads are unable
to carry to the seaboard the jroduce
raised in Eastern Oregon and Washing
ton now. What would be the result
with double. the amount produced? We
want an open river, we want good wagon
roads, we want our mountains made
passable and communities connected,
we want many things for the benefit of
"we the people" who are here now. It is
not to be doubted that a good exhibit at
Chicago would- redound to Oregon's
credit and benefit. No man,giio news
paper man especially will gainsay the
power and profit of advertising. We
certainly do not, but at the same time
we assert that Eastern Oregon at least
is not prepared for any extended immi
gration, until the river is open, and
abundant transportation facilities fur
nished. When we have these we are
ready to advertise, but not untilour goods
are on the shelves, and we are ready for
business. The following telegram from
Tacoma on the 13th is apropos :
Tacoma, Jan. 13. A large percentage
of the wheat raised in Eastern Washing
ton is being shipped east to Duluth and
Minneapolis, because there are no facili
ties on the weastern coast to handle it.
All the sidetracks between here and
Pasco are full of wheat cars, and so are
the yards here. The railroad hasn't
enough cars to haul it because the ship
pers cannot unload them after they get
here. Most of the wheat has left the
Palouse country, though it will continue
to come into Tacoma for some time yet.
It will be seen that the Northern
Pacific has flooded Tacoma with wheat,
and the immense surplus is glad to seek
a market at Dnluth or St. Paul even
though the long haul cuts deeply . into
the profits. In the face of such a condi
tion do we need to advertise?
The two houses met in the hall of the
house at Salem yesterday to canvass the
vote for governor, and Sylvester Pennoyer
was duly declared the governor of the
state. He took the oath of office admin
istered by Judge Strahan and at once
proceeded to read his message. He is
about the only man outside of the news
paper fraternity who will do so. The
message consists of about 10,000 words
or about twelve columns such as ours.
He very wisely recommends that the
legislature ask congress for an appropri
ation to build a portage railroad at The
Dalles. This is the only thing that will
give us speedy relief, we want portage
railroads for the benefits to be derived
while more permanent improvements
are being made, and the governor has
sounded a key note that will add to his
unprecedented popularity. He also
opposes the repeal of the usury law. A
perusal of the document will show that
the governor is close to the farmer's idea
on this question, as on all others, and we
believe he will carry a strong endorse
ment from the farmers, should his party
tender him the presidential nomina
tion. Oregon can congratulate . herself on
the fact that her legislature has met,
organized, and elected a United States
senator without a quarrel, or shadow of
one. There is hardly another state that
can boast as much. Heretofore we of
me norm nave Deen wont to look; on
with disgust at some of the bitter fights
in the southern states over the posses
sion of its offices, but in the light of
Tecent events we will have to get off our
high moral plane. Nebraska is almost
on the verge of war over the governor
ship, Colorado is but little better over
which faction shall run the legislature.
Washington is having a bitter senatorial
fight, and so it goes through a number
of the northern states. We are glad in
: J.eed that Oregon has escaped alllthis ;
her legislature is in good working order,
.and that no bad blood or factional fights
have occurred. The session is short
and there is much work to be done. The
friendly feeling will greatly facilitate
matters and we hope that this legislatre
will make a record for good hard sub
stantial work for the '. entire state , of
Oregon. - : . j.t
. If there is one thing more annoying
than the thousand other things that be
set the pathway of newspaperdom to
harass and grizzle, the editor, it is the
careless and slipshod manner in which
a clipping from his paper is reprinted.
In nine cases out of ten the compositor
will change words on you, just enough to
make your article to say the least awk
ward, and in many cases the change will
make it ridiculous. There is only one
way to avoid this worry, and that is to
make it a rule never to look over your
own article in your exchanges. The rea
son is plain, and that is that the proof
reader knowing it is reprint does not
change the wording where the spelling
is correct. It is "hardly carelessness it is
just "cussedness J" the perverseness of
matter animate and inanimate, and it is
useless to hope for any improvement.
rROVEltliS OF THE SEA.
Forty Wise Old Saws for Those Who
Sail the Ocean.
He.who would learn to pray should go
to sea. When one falls into the sea he
stays there. When you walk, pray once ;
when you go to sea, pray twice ; when
you go to be married, pray three times.
Women are ships and must be manned.
The sea refuses no river. All the rivers
go to the sea, and it never overruns. The
sea is not soiled because a dog stirs it up.
To a drunken man the sea only reaches
to the knees. If the sea boiled, where
would one go to find water to cool it?
What comes by starboard goes by lar
board. Being at sea, sail ; being on land,
settle. He that will not sail till he have
a full, fair wind will lose many a-voyage.
Unless you have the wind astern you
must know how to navigate. You can
not sail as you would, but as the wind
blows. In a calm sea every man is a pilot .
To a rotten ship every wind is contrary.
What fear would he have of the waves
who had Noah for a piloj.? Every sea,
great as it is, grows calm. A large ship
needr much water. Where a ship can go
the brigantine can go. It is easier to get
away from the bank than from the bot
tom. The ship which doesn't mind her
helm will mind the hidden rocks He
who can steer need not row. It will not
do to have two mainmasts in a ship.
Better lose an anchor than the whole
ship. Good roller, good sailor. Do good
and cast it into the sea ; if the fish ignore
it, God will know it. If clouds look like
they had been scratched by a hen, get
ready to reef your topsails then. He who
sends a mean man to sea will get neither
fish nor salt. . Every port serves in a gale.
A mariner must have his eyes on the rocks
and sands as well as on the north star.
Ill goes the" boat without oars. From
the boat we go to the ship. Don't judge
the ship froui the land. The freshest
and sweetest fish comes from the saltest
sea. No one can complain of the sea who
has been twice shipwrecked. He gets
his passage for nothing and winks at the
captain's wife. The sea isn't burning.
He that is embarked with tho devil must
sail with him.
A Sluggard's Poem.
The following winter poem was found
hid under the pillow of one of our city
slumberers, and expressed his ieelings
tuuy. Uur reporter surreptitiously stole
the lines and here they are in point :
ine larK came up to meet tne sun and
carol forth its lay ; the farmer's son took
down his gun and at him blazed away.
The busy bee' arose at five and hummed
the meadows o'er; the farmers wife
went for the hive and robbed him of his
store. The little ant arose early too, his
labors to begin : the greedy sparrow that
wav flew, and took his antship in O !
birds and ants and bees be wise, in pro
verbs take no stock ; let me refuse from
bed to rise till half past eight o'clock.

The Ideal vs. the Real.
The holiday season has come and gone.
and the' hungry, bustling world has set
tled down again to the stern realities of
life ; and millions of costly, but useless,
presents have been laid upon the shelf
to gather dust and rest among the part
ly forgotten memories of the past. The
thought, howeyer, that prompted them,
and the joy with which they were re
ceived, can never pass away or be dust
encumbered. In this respect the ideal
will outlive the real and be as lasting as
life itself. Prineville News.
The English tongue has been growing
and changing for 1500 years and is grow
ing and changing still ; and the altera
tions are so vast and varied that if the
English people of to-day could be
brought face to face with their ancestors
of John Lackland's time, they would no
more understand one another's jabber
than either would understand the speech
of the barbarians of equatorial Africa.
The question has been asked, "In
what respect-are St. Patrick's Pills bet
ter than any other?" 'Try them, You
will find that they produce a pleasanter
carthartic effect, are more certain in
their action, and that they not only
physic but cleanse the whole system and
regulate the liver and bowels. For sale

It is a hopeful and healthful sign of
the present age that men and women of
all classes are giving serious thought to
the great social evils that deface our civ
ilization. Poverty, wretchedness and
unremunerative toil touch elbows with
lnxnrv and undeserved -wealth, and ho
must be a poor observer that does not
reflect upon social misery and its causes
