H. Carey's new book, The Oregon Constitution,f, giving the proceedings and debates of the Oregon Constitutional Convention of 1857, and a resume of the events leading up to that conven tion. ' A great deal of the space devoted to the proceedings of that convention which framed Oregon's fundamental laws is taken up with the reports printed in The Statesman, with due credit in each case. r i V. In the resume of the events leading up to the adoption of the Constitution, the following incidents are- recorded : ?Judge Reuben; P." Boise (at a .democratic, caucus'! held January-29, 1856; at Salem, by members oi the legislature) chairrnan of a committee previously appointed, reported an address to. the people as a preamble to a proposed bill resubmrtting the ques tion of state government to popular vote, and the report was unanimously adopted - ' 'The Oregonian came out with a virulent attack on this program. It was denounced as the most visionary and foolish policy that could be adopted, as statehood would impoverish the people and bankrupt the state in less than two years, and would result in driving capital from the country and retarding settlement. The opposition was put quite frankly upon distrust of the sponsors, since no good thing could come from such a source, referring specifically to Delazon Smith, Asahel Bush 'and their infamous cohorts.' " This attack was followed up by .lie Oregonian with reasons why the idea!of statehood was foolish, and further abusing the "Salem coterie" and -their "infamous cohorts." The Statesman, then owned and :edited by Asahel, Bush, came backet the Oregonian in-kind,' delivering blow for blow, with some punches to spare and 'argued 'for- statehood 'and progress ; one oi xne arguments not me statesman being Dasea upon a low. estimate of the salaries of state officers and upon the proposal to have biennial instead of annual sessions of the legislature, the rule in the territorial government. The Oregonian edited then by Thomas J. Dryer, had declared that a state government would cost 'at least' $60,000 a year." It was a long fight, and a bitter one But The Statesman won. The Constitutional Convention was held at the old wooden court house in Salem, from August 17 to September 22, 1857 And Oregon, the "Valentine state," was admitted to the Union February 14, 1859. The Statesman win, on the 28'th of this month, enter upon its 77th year as a newspaper of progress, and it will live as a newspaper of progress throughout all the years of the future, if it shall, as it should, Tertiain" true to its historic past?

The tariff on cherries will be discussed. But nothing can be done about, this now. The Statesman was very much excited about this matter in 1922, when the present tariff law was being considered. This paper had many articles about the necessity of a cherry xami pi o cents a pound, giving; the reasons therefor. But The Statesman at that time could' get no one eise. excited aoout the matter, when every Royal Ann cherry grower on this coast ought to: have been upon his toes. The result a tariff of 2 cents a pound, including cherries sulphured or in Drme. it was a trick of the maraschino bunch. It was an outrage, But the maraschino junta got away with it. The swjry is a long one, and will be referred to again, to refreshen the memory of our growers. :; The above is the wording of a law. enacted by the Oregon legislature at its recent session; the wording after the incor- ' roration of two amendments And it will be a part of the statutes of this state in about r 80 days i ' ';-&; ' The-reader can interpret the language for himself ; but, briefly, it provides that second offenders shall receive sen : tences not. less" than the longest term nor more than twice ; the longest term provided for the crime committed T".
