In a two-column article, the Baker City Democrat makes a fight against the portago road, and accuses the legislature of passing the bill as a bluff against the railroads of the state. It the article was not surprising, coming as It does from a city In tho Inland Empire that Is vitally Inter ested In the development of the un settled section of Oregon, tho silly bosh would not deserve attention. fillf hnw n nnni'r thnt ilpnpnrlH I'nr Its meager support on the business ja s"edaI "" of the Inland Empire, can make such ! check u,e s"eclal. '8l'cor: a se open attacks on the interests of its ' cret servlce agenl ,ol,owf the c"" constituents and still live and do j of tlle s"eclal nilner: a prl ome little business. Is one of the sur-lva,t-' f '"lor de- prising facts connected with tho Payment scrutinizes the acts of the atand of the Democrat. Here is a lsecret 8ervlc aRL'nt' a,,d thu "bo,,t sample of the article and the people of Oregon can judge of tho disgust ing arguments by this excerpt: "The statement was made a fow dayr, ago In Umatilla county by ono of the representatives of the legisla ture who assisted in the passage of the portage railway bill that ho and the others knew tho whole tiling was but a farce, passed to placate certain country constituents In nn effort to force the hand of the O. It. & N. This forcing business works two ways and the legislator laughingly said they all understood that thero was nothing In It." Such au Insult to the members of the legislature who have worked for this road untiringly, should really be resented, and yet the narrow sphere of the Democrat guarantees but a limited amount of damage to any one from such an attack. The saving in freight rates on ono wheat crop from Umatilla county to Portland, with river transportation, would more than pay for tho portago road. The present rate is nlno cents per bushel; with competition the rate would be about four cents, making a saving of five cents per bushel on 5,000,000 bushels, the amount of this year's crop, or 1200,000. In the face of theso facts, does It seem probabl.o that any member of tho legislature, who worked for the portago road, did so to "placate a fow country constituents." No wonder Uaker City is losing her prestigo as" a commercial center, when such wanton opposition to her own Interests is openly made. Nothing holds back Western Insti tutions and belles Wostorn ability moro than tho falso and unfounded aristocratic notion that an education can only bo obtained In tho East, and that good sense and ablo protossors can bo found only In tho big Institu tions. For Westerners to spread this idea, and advertise It, Is to say to tho East that thero Is nothing worthy In tho West, nothing higher than the wiioro thoy wont off to yesterday frontier life that tho slow East actu-; Hut I shall never know, ally bolloves exists hero yot.

For empty de grees It is still necessary to go East. The Portland Commercial Club has offered $200 in prizes for articles written on the commercial or Indus trial features of the state of Oregon, by residents of Or.egon, to be publish ed In any regular publication outside of the state. The first prize Is $50 In cash or a gold medal, for tho best written article by a resident of Ore gon outside of Portland; the second prize for the same class, is $50; third prize, $25; fourth prize, $15 and fifth nrize. $10. To residents of Portland ' a gold medal and $100 In prlz.es will i he distributed on the same basis. One rigid proviso of the contest is that tho word "Wobfoot" is not to appear in any of the articles .entering for I the prizes. Governor Chamberlain ( will appoint n commltte to pass upon the articles submitted by residents I tmtsldo of Portland, and Mayor Wll- Hams will appoint a like committee to decide ' the championship within I Portland. The object Is to advertise ! Oregon outside of the borders of Ore . j gon, and already many .excellent ef- , forts are being made to capture these I prizes. Everybody Is eligible. Tho ' more contestants tho better for the . ! state. Begin your article now. 1 In the public land farce another j scene is now being enacted which lias I created nine new high salaried of ' flees for the people to hear, in addl- tlon to losing the public domain as I rapadily as corporations can secure 'title to it. The states of the West ' have been divided into nine districts, I with a special Inspector for each dls ! trict, in addition to the present force I of inspectors and secret service agents in the land department. An endless chain of secret agents now encircles the land offices, about as follows: An Inspector is located in each land' office district to watch the register; a special Inspector Is ap pointed to watch the inspector; a " " terlor himself, travels around the circuit incognito to look Into the acts of his private detective. In the mean time the corporations are waxing fat. The land hunger of the United Slutes was never more thrllllngly il lustrated than in the opening of tho ltosubud reservation last week. Over 100,000 rglstrations wero filed, while there were Jilt 2500 quarter sections of laud to be distributed. .Many ot these people canio from tho farthest J Eastern states, the winner of tho first claim being a I'ennsylvanlan. ilnny of them spent money thnt they could ill afford to lose In the .lottery, In or der to take one chance at getting a home for their families, it exhibits 1 the Intense need lor homes. It Is a , surfuco evidence of the great heart burning of the crowded masses in the cities of an outlet to tho free air and the open horizon ot Independence anil self supporting existence. It Is a problem that should cause congress to halt and think seriously, before further delay In saving tho remaining public domain for tho masses In need of it. MO8T VALUABLE PEARL. Tho most extraordinary pearl or, rather cluster of pearls known as tho "Southern Cross," Is said to bo owned by a syndlcato of Australians, who valued It nt J500.000. 80 far as is known, It occupies an absolutely unlquo position. It con sists of nine pearls, naturally grown together In so regular a manner as to form a perfect Latin cross. Tho pearl was discovered by a pearl fish er, Itoebourno, West Australia. The first owner regarded Is with so much superstition that ho burled It; but it was discovered In 1871, and five years later was placed on .exhibition In Australia, The Talker. 1 I wish that I know moro about Tho Itoblnsons' affairs; For Instanco, how ho can make out To nay for what sho wears; I How old sho Is: what rent they pay; How manv bills thoy owo; NO RUSH TO CANADA. Much has been said about tho emi gration of American farmers to tho western "part or Cnnada, and somo estimates of tho number who tlniB leave tho United States to make their homo in the Dominion have bean very high. ! A fair measure of tho volume of1 this emigration may ho found in tho j numoor oi lauu vmuua uu,u ... ada by Amorlcans, since a largo part, If by no means nil, the land acquired by the now settlers is secured from tho Dominion government. This con clusion seems to be Justified by tho fact that tho region Into which these people have moved Is but sparsely sottld. William It. Haliowny, one of tho American consuls general sta tioned In Canada, has Interested him self In tho subject to the extent, of securing statistics of land entries by Amorlcans; and tho result of his In quiries Indicates that a much Binnllor number of farmers hnvo removed from this country to Canada than persons who made less careful esti mates seemed to think. 11,0 states that In 1902 tho number of such entries wns S7S and In 1903 It was 11,079. The figures given for certain of tho states from which the principal number of emigrants went, nro us follows: 1902. 1903. Dakota 3.i9fi 3,494 Idaho 52 142 Illinois 123 255 Iowa BB4 519 Kansas 1M 222 Michigan 183 293 Michigan 183 293 Minnesota 2.7IS 3,272 Missouri 8G 145 Montana 3 273 Nebraska 3 359 Ohio 1 121 Oklahoma " 5G 102 Utah H2 309 Washington 85 23b Wisconsin 290 C32 Total .8,798 11,079 There is a wide difference between tlioso fleurcs and the estimate that 100,000 pople would go from tno unu- o.l Plates to the western part ot uio Dominion In a stngiu year, rrouauiy somo settlers purchased lands from private- owners, and doubtless fow otl-era made no purchases at all. Hut since it was a movement of farmors and homeseekcrs to a sparsely popu lated country, it is fair to conclude that a large majority of them entered li.-imo under the Canadian land laws. Hence, the number of entries Is a fair-basis upon which to estimate tho total number who made their Homes In that part of Canada during the two years named. Since the total number of farmors who havu gone into western Canada is comparatively small, some of the predictions that have be.en made con cerning the effect of tills addition to Canada's population may be- consid ered overdrawn. Even if 50,000 Americans in two years liav.e settled In Canada, It Is not to bo believed that thgy will have any noticeable effect upon the attitude of the Do minion toward the United Stutes. They may deslro commercial reci procity, but they will hardly be able to exert a perceptible Influence upon the trade relations of the two coun tries. New O. R. & N. Station.
