power to levy taxes in the ordinary

None of these provisions will hinder

-SUNDAY EXCURSIONS.
Reverend Austin nice, of the
Congregational church of Walla
Walla, adorned a tale and pointed a
moral in a recent sermon by using
c .,
Sunday excursions as a theme, the
baseball excursion from Pendleton
to Walla Walla being considered as
Illustrative of his nolnt.
Th8 East Orogonlan does not care
to over encourage excursions on any through Portland and San Francis
day, but it does bolieve that lf they co, Is growing to enormous propor-
- n
are harmful when occurring on Sun
day they are equally so on other
days as well. However, there are
reasons why an excursion Is more to
to be.excup?d on Sundny? Unu any
other day, for on that day so many
more people are at liberty to enjoy
its benefits, whatever tihey may be.
The Teverend gentleman's main
objectlon to
Sunday excursions
seems to be that they empty the
churches and cost so much. In other
words he estimates the one he used
as Illustrative of the force of his
comment as costing $3,000, at which
he exclaims: "Three thousand dol-
of the depth of this preacher's
thought. He seems to infer that the
stil emptier coffers. Rev. Rice ap
pears to entirely forget that
this sum of money is as get-at-
able after the excursion as it was
before and that it is possible to en
gage preachers, carry on missionary
work, feed and clothe the poor, pay
public school teachers and do good
in other ways with the money spent
on Sunday excursions after the ex
cursion as before, and that such a
frolic In no way limits the porform
ance of good or the saving of 'souls,
which appears to be the all import
ant work of some people, who make
it so barren of result 'and so narrow
in aim that the crop of souls they
might save are driven to as narrow
pursuits In other directions. One of
Rev. Austin Rico's moral disserta
tions for instance isamplo to drive
most any ordinary man or woman
from town on a Sunday excursion or
to other immoderation. Let Rev.
Austin Rice remember that excess is
crime, that those only who run to
Immoderate ways aro lost! It mat
ters not 'whether they bo disciples
of the church or citizens of tho
world, for In moderation only their
is virtue, salvation! Somewhere It
s written: "Moderation Is the silk
en string that runs through the
pearl chain of all virtue."
"Avoid excess, be moderate! And
one will be happy and good, In cplte
of those who see through a glass
darkly and views no good in any
thing unless it comes through their
particular kind of quill.
THE FUTURE OF OREGON.
Popuiar Mechanics, published at
Chicago, by H. H. Windsor, has the
following to say of Oregon and P.ort-
land
It San Francisco to bo the future
metropolis of the world and Oregon
one of the most populous and im
portant states in America? Such a
I nreriletlnn wan nncn mndo Iv n nntpil
English scientist, and recent devel-
.opments lead many to bollove there
were good grounds for jhis theory,
" 1oJt8 a lf Portland, Ore,, Is des-
tlned to become the Liverpool of
Amerlca and alI the worId ?a now

gon, where tho wheat crop is noyer

Tho "trade with tho Phlllppino Ib-
innfIR ntlfl Hnurall xnrrlnrl ,in
tlons. Alaska with its many sources
of commerce, is hourly growing m
importance and our rapidly Increas
ing trade with China is causing
mnnv oves at this timo to turn to
the "land of tho setting sun." Some
mariners declaro Portland, Ore., to
have the finest natural harbor in tne
wniOil find It mav bo that this is to

our enormous trade with Alaska, tho

any rate it is certain that Portland's
shipping interests are bound to in
crease' many fold and the prospects

Francisco as an ocean port aro not
In the least remote.
Oregon's splendid agricultural re
sources, the richness of nor son,
healthful climate and advantageous
location make this state of first Im
portance to the investor when consid
orlnir the wonderful changes of con
dltions brought about by our recent
wars. acaulBltlons and stupendous
increase of trade. Knowing of those
things It is rather surprising when
we noticed a short time ago the
irlnrinEr announcement:
Two hundred and fifty thousand
free homes In Oregon." The an
nouncement is made in good faith,
too. and all any one Jias to do to fall,
as If that state had been but newly
discovered. The Wonderful Board
at Salem, Ore. The free homes are
of 160 acres each. They are govern
ment lands situated in every county
in the state and can be obtained un
der the general rules pertaining to
government lands. Besides there aro
now 4bu,000 acres of school lanus
which may be purchased at tne re
markably low price of $1.25 per acre.
That these offers will long await ac
ceptance is .not probable In this day
when every American Is ready to re
cognize a good opportunity for a
eood and nrofitablo investment.
"The flrst shall bo last and tho
last shall be first." Often It has been
said and often it has come true. So
it is with Oregon, the last of our
states to attract any great amount of
attenion, may soon become first In
commercial importance. It seems
that providence has reserved this
land of many charms for a certain
people and that people Is now about
to take possession.
