The time la racked with birth-
. pangs; every hour
Brings forth some gasping
, truth, and truth new-
born
Looks a misshapen and un-
' timely growth,
The terror of the household
' and its shame.
A monster coiling in its nurse's
lap
That some would strangle, some
, would only starve;
But still it breaths, and passed
. from hand to hand.
-And suckled at a hundred half-
clad breasts...
.Comes slowly to Its stntnre and
Its form,
Culms the rough edges of Its
i drugon scales
'Changes to shining locks its
'i. snaky hair, '
And moves transfigured ; Into e
. angel guise,
- Welcomed by all that- cursed
" Its hour of birth,
And folded in the same enclrel- e
tng arms
That cast it like a serpent from
their hold.

a population at all comparable with
that of California. . The first report
ed a little over 600.000 residents in
1900, the second something less, and
the thlrd'nearly 1.500,000. San Fran
Cisco ranked ninth among the cities
of the l.'nlted States -In the "last cen
sua year. It then had a populationof
3!,000.- while PorUand claimed
scarcely more than 90,000 and Seattle
only about 60.000. In point of fer
tillty and scenery, the northern states
of the Pacific coast closely rival their
southern neighbor. Their production
of fruit, wheat and timber is simply
mugnlflrent, and the salmon fisheries
of th. Columbia are probably without
an enni I anywhere In the world. Cal
lfiri;!n. however, has a more attrac
tiv - .'" late, especially In winter, and
her growth was wonderfully stimulat
ed by the discovery of gold there half
a century ago. But for that help It
is doubtful whether she would have
enjoyed greater prosperity than Or
egon or Washington. Even yet the
resources of the latter two have been
utilised Imperfectly. Both have
grand future before them.
The interval of time . which will
elatme between the 8t Louis and Port
ana iinrs is so snort that the one
which Is to be held next year is placed
at a disadvantage. It cannot hope to
rival the one Just ended. Perhaps It
will be national rather than interna
tional in scope. All the same, it will
perform many useful functions. One
of these Is that It will reveal the kind
of stuff of which the men are made
who are shaping the destiny of the
North Paoific coast. o

The land thieves are making des

Portland. Men of Influence are be

is known "that one Juror was unsuc

Love's for Youth, and hot for Age,
E'en though Age should wear a
crown:
For the Poet, not the Hage:
Not the Monarch, but the Clown.
Love's for Peace, and not for War,
E'en though War bring all renown;
For the Violet, not the Star;
For the Meadow, not the Town.
Love's for lads and Love's for jnalds.
Courts a smile and files a frown;
Love's for Love, and saucy Jttdes
Love Love most when' Love has
flown.
Love a cruel tyrant Is:
Slays his victims with a glance. ,
Straight recovers with a kiss, -
But to slay again, perchance.
Wouldst thou know where Love doth
bide? -
' Whence his sharpest arrows fly?
In a dimple Love may hide.
Or the ambush of an eye.
Wert thou clad In triple mail.
In a desert far apart,
Not a whit would this avail:
Love would find and pierce thy
heart. -r

CANTEEN GONE FOREVER.
canteen and anti-canteen talk Is
heard everywhere. The majority, in
fact. 90 per cent of the army officers.
are in favor of restoring the canteen,
of allowing a room in every post
where beer and light liquors can be
sold to the soldiers. Many cases are
pointed out Bhowlng that the morali
ty of the men would be better, dli
clpllne would be Improved, and that
the health of the soldiers would be
much better if the canteen was again
allowed at army posts and on military
reservations.
But what use is all this argument,
this mnss of evidence and weight of
testimony? The canteen has gone,
and gone forever. Instead of restor
ation, there is likely to be greater re'
strlctlons. It would not be surprising
If the prohibition advocates and the
temperance workers some time secur
ed the passage of a bill prohibiting
soldiers, sailors and employes of the
government from drinking. And why
not?

ENDOKHKR IN THE EAST.
That the Lewis and Clark exposi
tion Is receiving attention in the East
is proven by the following editorial
tram the New York Tribune Farmer,
a paper that has a large circulation
throughout the Kit stern and Middle
Western states. The fuir will prove
a wonderful stimulant to Western
immigration:
Close upon the heels of the World's
Fnlr at St. Louis will come another,
but less ambitious, exhibition of the
same sort in this country. Portland.
Or., is about to celebrate an event of
xnuch Importance to the North Paci
fic coast, the arrival there of Lewis
and Clark, two of the earliest explor--ers
of that region. Their overland
Journey thither began hi 1804, and
was finished the following year. For
the centennial show which is being
organized in their honor, and which
will be formally opened next May.
the preparations are well udvanced.
An area less extensive than that re
quired at St. Louis is to be occupied,
and the buildings will be fewer In
number and leas Imposing in dimen
sions. Nevertheless, several of the
larger structures are said to be so
near completion that the removal of
exhibits .from Bt. Louis thereto Is now
practicable. To encourage such a
transfer the railways have made a
special freight tariff, which went into
effect ou December 1. Co-operation
py ths national and a number of state
government that of Massachusetts
among them Is .assured, and the pro
jectors of tbe undertaking are an
ticipating a large measure of success.
The landtag of Captain Robert
Gray, of Boston, at the mouth of
the Columbia river. In 17M. was not
without inflaenoe on history. His x
Alterations .furnished the basis for a
tatm to the adjacent territory by the
United States. ln . - determining
' whether Washington or London
should rule ths territory, Oray's Ten
lure may nave gone further than the
'more dangeroas and difficult service
"f Lewis aad Clark. Tbe mission of
-the latter, however, was ' significant
in several ways. It grew out of the
.Louisiana pare base, and was inspired
by Jefferson's desire to find a high
way through the newly-acquired pos
aiesslons' to the ocean which laved the
western shores of the continent
'4 "At that time California did not be
long to this country, and an outlet
was sought further north. ' Leaving
Fort Mandan, on the Upper Missouri,
, in April, Lewis and Clark endured
great privations while crossing the
''Rockies and examining the Columbia,
!and they narrowly escaped starva
tion. There Is no probability that
thelr heroism will be overrated by
-the local historian. Ths states that

southern' sides of that mighty stream

Ah long us the Mormons enn get off
with fines there la little prospect of
abating the evils of polygamy. What
is needed is drastic treatment of the
evil. One cunnot temporize with a
cancer, it must be cut out. Long
terms in the penitentiary for polyga
mous practices would soon destroy
the practice. In the testimony at the
Reed Bmoot trial yesterday it devel
oped that Apostle Merrill hud nine
wives and 47 children. Two of these
wives he has married since the mani
festo. Other equally flagrant viola
tions of the law were brought out in
the testimony.
Thanks to the generous action of
Dr. and Mrs. Coe, Sacajuwea cast in
copper, will point the western path
at the Lewis and Clark exposition. It
will take 22.000 poudds of copper
which comes from the country which
was explored by the early pathfinders.
Not only will they give the copper
for, the statue but Mrs. Coe will have
made, at her own expense, a large
number of souvenir spoons, which
will be sold to help raise the neces
sary fpnd toward casting the statue.
It Is a generous gift. -
Ex-Senator George L. Bhoup of
Idaho, who since the close of the Civil
war has been a prominent figure In
the development of tbe material re

been Identified with Hs politics, has
Just died. The death of Senator
Shoup removes a picturesque figure
from the halls of legislation. Though
born In the East he had become a
part of the virile West and was a
typical Westerner.
Portland is becoming the lfeeca of
thugs and pickpockets. Reports of
thefts are of dally occurrence. A
vigorous campaign should be inaugur
ated to rid the city of the undesirable
element.
