The avowed object Ih to make socialism tin- dominant power In American pol itics. In Germany, France, Belgium, Italy ami other continental countries, so cialism already wields tremendous In fluence which every government ha it reckon with. In Great Krltain It Ik i i i i i I i 1 1 y Raining slrenKth and con trol" tho Independent labor party which haH a cre of representatives In parliament. In the meat lepuhile of tho west, however, It has been heretofore a comparatively nccJiKliile factor In pol itics. It lias no represent!' lives in congress and few It uny In thj state legislatures. !'ut m:w, when the popular feeling In America atjalnst the power of the tiUKt" and the dcnomlnnncc of wealth h.is nl tamed such vast proportions, the shrewd, brainy men who consti tute tho International noclallHt com mittee at nrusselH, and pull the MrliiKs which bind the socialist or KanizatloiiH of every country to the central body, have decided that the time Is rl c In America for a vigorous propaganda' which shall endeavor to unit" the forces of discontent under the red banner. Not to fight but to vote, for socialism recognizes that the ballot is Its one effective weapon. The parliamentary work was begun some little time ago. The socialism conference In Newark, N. J., last March, which resulted in the union of Hie socialist parly and the socialist labor party, was due to the efforts of the HiUKHels bureau. Ktnll Vandervlde, Delglan secretary of the International committee, says of thii movement: "I b lleve that a great labor party will spring up and make Itself felt In ti e United Slates In the near future, ''he great trades union organization the American Federation of Labor, which contains between 6,000,000 and fi.ooil.lino vet is, has announced Its Internum of embaiklng In politics. "I see nothing to prevent tho so clnllst parlies of the United Slates Joining the political crgsinlratlon of that party. Just as the socialists of Grent lirltaln Join tho labor party. see nothing to prevent the socialists from sharing In the political councils of that party and Helping to elect Its representatives, and' nothing to pre vent the bgc'IuIius in America from Instilling their doctrines into the whole mass of the pnrty as the Eng lish socialist are doing with the Eng lish labor party. "I believe, on the contrary, that It must Inevitably enmn to pass that the socialists will bring ho whole hodv of the labor organization over to so cialism." Reword Breaking Explosion. Frank ' Farrell, W. H. Young and Calvin Ross narrowly escaped death yesterday at ' the Welgle camp of Elk creek. The receiver of the air compressor plant exploded. Mr. Toung was not over six feet from It and the other men about 10 feet. Pieces of the receiver flew In all directions, but none of the men received more than a few slight scratches, except Far rell. The knuckle of the Index finger of his right hand was cut to the bone. Mr. Toung was struck be tween tho shoulders by a long piece of Iron pipe, but was not hurt. One pleco of the receiver, weighing about 76 pounds, went through the Iron roof, cutting a lorge piece of timber half In two. 'The windows were all smashed and oi" end of the building partly demollsliu 1. A piece of Iron whizzed through the hat of one of the men but entirely missed his head. A box containing 100 pounds of giant powder, about eight feet from the receiver, luckily was not struck by any of tho flying pieces, but a keg of nails nearby was scattered in all di rections. The men at work In the fnce of the 600-foot tunnel, hearing the nolso of the explosion, rushed out, expecting to find two or three dead men. Mr. Wclglo will get a re ceiver from the Thorne camp, and expects to be at work again In about two weeks. Idaho City World. Protect Proprietary Medicine. Did it ever occur to you that pro prietary medicines are a blessing to mankind generally? The good ons have long continued sale; the poor ones have short life and soon leave the market. It we had to uepen-i entirely upon physicians and druggists It would be expensive and very inconvenient at times, especially in the country and at night when neither could be con veniently reached. For nearly 40 years Boschee's German Syrup has been used in many ramllles and thousands of lives have been sa I by Its use, when it was impossible to reach a physician. German Syrup is the best household remedy for coughs, colds, throat and lung trouble.- It quickly relieves the hacking . cough, loosens the phlegm, and brings sound and refreshing sleep.

RIG rilOFIT. IN PRUNES. Douglas? Couiily Crop Amounted to 1125,000 Tills Year. Prune shipments from Douglas county are now practically closed for the season, and the output for the 1906 crop approximates 126 carloads of evuporated prunes, or about 6, 000,000 pounds, says the Itoseburg Review. From these the growers have realized (or should do so) upwards of $126,000. Of these the Umpo.ua Valley Prune association handled something more than one-fourth, or upwards of 1,260,000 pounds. The Douglns County Fruit Packing com pany, under direction of C. Gazley, handled nearly 1,600,000 pounds. The remainder were Bhlpped by W. N. Moore of Ruckles, E. C. Ward of Newberg and Lasallo Bros., of Al bany. The Willamette Valley Prune asso ciation of fialem, with Its four asso ciated packing houses, Including the Uumpqua valley plant of Roseburg. handled about 8,000,000 pounds of Oregon prunes this season. The Douglns county crop bringing In about M26.000, means thnt nearly thnt sum of money has been distrib uted among the producers of the country, tho major portion of which has gono out to their employes and thence Into tho regular channels of business In all lines..
