SITUATION IN AFRICA.
The rapidly shifting scenes in the
great play of international politics
now center public interest in Africa,
and for the time being Asia anil
Cuba are left to work out their own
salvation. When the news came ot
Kitchener's great victory at Om
durman English-speaking people the
world over rejoiced, for that victory
was taken to mean the first step for
ward in the movement of civilization
through the heart of Africa and the
beginning of British domination over
a broad strip of territory from the
Mediterranean to Cape Town. "While
the Soudan quieted and the dervishes
extinguished or driven from the
desert, the dream of trade promoters
of a railroad from Cairo to the cape
seemed about to be realized.
Now comes the startling news that
a white force which has evidently
moved from the south, is occupying
Fashoda on the White Nile, about
400 miles south of Khartoum. There
is every reason to believe that the
force, is French. Its presence there
shows clearly tbat France proposes to
resist British advance in Africa and
to claim a large slice of territory her
self. Occupying Fashoda she holds
a strong strategic position. Trade
and commerce in that portion of
Africa may not be developed with
out her permission, if she insists on
her claim to the region. The trans
African railwaj' will remain a dream
for many years to come if she holds
on, for Great Britain will certain!'
not back down. Time and again has
France been warned that Great Brit
ain will consider interference in the
Nile valley, a cause for war. If
France does not withdraw, and there
seems no probability that such is to
be her policj', it will be difficult to
avoid prolonged hostilities.
Should such an unfortunate war
come to pass American public senti
ment on the subject will prove an in
teresting study. Many au unthink
ing person and many an ill-informed
newspaper will doubtless set up the
old cry of British hoggishness in ter
ritorial acquisition, and, because
France is a so-called republic, will
think American sj'mpathy should be
given to the nation that has a form
of government somewhat similar to
our own. On the other hand, there
are many and strong reasons why
American sympathy should go out to
Great Britain. Great Britain in
colonizing such portions of Africa as
she has been enabled to gain a foot
hold in has advanced civilization, has
built up commerce, has opened ar
teries of trade and has provided the
manufacturers and producers of the
world with new markets. She has
pursued a liberal policy to other na
tions in allowing them to reap equal
benefits with her in these markets and
the United States and this section in
particular have benefited largely'
thereby. British development in
South Africa has caused the shipment
of millions of feet of Western
lumber and thousands of bushels of
Western wheat and Western flour
to the Anjrlo-Afncan provinces.
American manufacturers have found
in those colonies a profitable demand
for their goods. But what has the
civilized world benefited by French
holdings in Africa? There is not one
instance where France can be said to
have advanced civilization or to have
promoted commerce in her African
possessions. Her whole colonial
policy is one that is not favorable to
the trade of other countries. Thus,
looking ot the matter from a com
mercial as well as an ethical stand
point, it will be seen that British
domination in Africa is greatly to be
preferred to that of France. There
are those, of course, who will de
clare Africa should be left to its na
tive rulers, but such a policy would
mean putting a padlock on one "of
the treasuries provided by nature to
furnish humanity with wealth. Rich
in natural resources it is a crime
against mankind not to bring about
the development of Africa. Since
some civilized nation must undertake
the work, Great Britain should be
the one, as her past experience in.
colonial government proves her to be
the best equipped of all for such a
labor. Spokesman Review.
Notice to Ieliuquent Taxpayers.
The delinqent taxes of Wasco county,
as shown on the rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are $60,000, an amount al
most equal to the indebtedness of the
county. Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs eho'uld
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
iu the past the county court Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant has been attached to each de
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by seizure and eale of
property. With a bountiful clop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea
sonable excuse for the non-payment of
taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec
tion thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure and sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.

with this marvelous cure ; would have it,
even if it cost a hundred dollars a bottle.

lung affections are positively cured by
Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump
tion. Trial bottles free at Blakeley &
