LET OREGON HE THANKFUL.
Let the people of Oregon be thank
ful, that although they may have
rotten politics, opptessive combina
tions, heedless corporations, grasping
millionaires and all such, yet they
have not the Mormon Issue to add to
their confusion.
Over In Idaho the state legislature
Is In the throes of the Mormon Issue
every day. No move Is made, no
treasure is Introduced until the entire
subject is threshed out by the Mormon
and antt-Mormon forces.
The test oath, polygamy, state-religion,
Mormonism In public schools
and Mormonism In business, politics,
society, progress everywhere these
aggravating questions consume a large
portion of the time of the Idaho lg
ls'ator. Oregon may be burdened with vex
ing Issues, the car shortage may re
tard Industrial development, the rail
road monopoly may grow apace, but
let us be thankful that In this state
Mormonit-m is not yet an Issue.
OREGON'S BIG SCHOOL.
There Is one big, overshadowing
state school in Oregon, of which any
state may well be proud the Oregon
Airrkultural college.
There Is life, vigor, activity, person
ality In this Immense school and its
school spirit Is contagious. Over 800
students are now In attendance and
the legislature has cheerfully appro
priated J150.000 for Its support and
Improvement.
The graduates from this school
stand for something. They carry
away from the Institution something
substantial In the way of an educa
tion and It Is doing more real educa
tional work In Oregon today than any
other Institution, and this Is not say
ing anything derogatory to other state
schools, either.
Somehow the agricultural college
gets at the bottom of educational
work and builds up a ground work
of citizenship and culture which
Is something more than mere polish.
There is Individuality In this school.
WILAT NEW RESOURCES?
The present session of the Oregon
legis'ature Is creating a number of
highly expensive commissions and Is
increasing the burden of taxation u"p-
n the people, but what new tax re
sources will the legislature bring Into
service to offset this Increased expen
diture? It 4t easy enough to legislate away
the ourcea of taxation, such as the

road tax and the poll tax, both of
which have been threatened this ses
slon, but It Is another matter to in
crease the resources.
While the legislature is multiplying
the number of state commissions and
advancing the pay of state officials.
It should devote some attention to in
creasing the sources of state revenue.
As it Is at present the burden of
taxation falls most heavily upon the
land holder, the farmer, whose hold
ings are in sight. His exemption has
not been taken from him and the In
crease I state expenses will fall still
mere heavily upon his shoulders.
What new resources of taxation will
the present session offer In return for
Its many new expenditures?
LOOKING OI T FOR THE Fl Tl RE.
President Roosevelt with his far
seeing eye is contending for conserva
tion of national resources and In his
message to congress yesterday urged
that some action be taken to preserve
coal and mineral lands and forests.
He contends for a system of gov
ernment leases of Its mineral land,
and for treating these fuel lands as
public utilities. The president points
out that It would have been better
if some eastern coal lands had been
left under government control, and
suggests provisions In the west nfroinst
a recurrence of the conditions "we
deplore In the east "
Citing 200 or 300 cases of public
land entries in four districts the pres
ident says that non-compliance with
these liws was found in over half of
them and deliberate fraud In every
case.
The president refers to his previous
message to congress on the subject,
and again calls attention to the im
portance of such land as separate and
distinct from the right to the under
lying mineral fuels In regions where
these may occur, and the disposal of
those mineral fuels under a lease sys
tem on conditions which would inure
to the benefit of the public as a
whole.
He says he cares little for the de
tails, and that the prime need Is that
the system should be established.
President Roosevelt has stirred up
t great deal of contention by urging
such measures but the thinking peo
ple agree with him that the ruthless
waste of natural resources Is some
thing that should be curtailed, and

BIG MONEY FOR POSTOFFICE.
The postofflce apporpriation bill
will carry a total of 209,lS0,a61. This
Is the largest amount ever carried for
the annual expenditure of the postal
service. The total recommendation
In the bill Is more than 3, 000, 000 in
excess of the ' amount estimated for
the department and is an Increase of
! 17,509,562 over the current appro
priation. The salaries of postal clerks and of
both city and rural carriers are In
creased to a total of 17,000,000. A
provision is Inserted In the bill for
the classification of postal clerks, and
the positions of clerks and carriers
are made Interchangeable.
There are various provisions In the
bill Intended to reduce the pay to
railroads for carrying the malls. It Is
estimated that this reduction will
amount to something like $12,000,000
a year.
The rate for hauling dally from
5000 to 48,000 pounds is reduced 5
per cent; from 48,000 to 80,000
pounds, 10 per cent; and the present
rate of $21.37 per ton for amounts
above 0,000 pounds' Is reduced to
$19. These reductions, It is estimated,
will amount to $3,300,000 a year.
A saving of $1,000,000 more la es
timated as a result of reductions pro
vided In railway postofflce pay. The
bill cuts off all pay to roads for haul
ing empty mall sacks, which It is es
timated will save between $3,000,000
and M, 000,000 a year.
The requirement that the depajt
ment shall weigh the mails seven
duys a week and divide the amount
by seven Instead of by six as hereto
fore, a provision placed In , the bill
at the suggestion of Representative
Murdock of Kansas, will, It Is estimat
ed, save annually $5,000,000.
NO LOVE MARRIAGES.
A French statistician tins heon do-
voting considerable time recently to
discovering the reasons for which wo
men are anxious to get married.
His Inquiries Included Questions ad
dressed to 95 girls between the aires
of 15 and 1". asking them whv thev
wished to get married. The result
was as follows:
Five wished to marrv in order thnt
they might go out unchaperoned.
Ten because they would then lie
able to amuse themselves.
Five because their husbands would
enable them to travel.
Seven so that they would own their
own hones.
Four looked forward to possessing
a family.
Three did not wish to marry at all;
while SI were anxious to be married,
bi!i could give no specific reason why.
Not one of the girls suggested love
as a motive for matrimony.

bined lodge house and business block

brick.
IF ALL the men and women who have used Peruna and found it beneficial
should write testimonials giving the plain facts, we would be overwhelmed
with certificates.
But only now and then one who has been benefited by Peruna stops to give any
public acknowledgement of a cure.
Various considerations prevent people from writing testimonials for publica
tion. Inordinate modesty, oversenslllyeness and business considerations forbid
many people from writing testimonials who otherwise would be glad to do so.
All Classes Represented.
But in spite of all these considerations, thousands of people without any solici
tation whatever do write testimonials for Peruna.
We receive these from men of high degree and low degree, from the army and
the navy, from the hall of congress, from the colleges, from high officials in the
ehurch, from the society belle and the washerwoman, from the military man
and the oivilian.
We have never put into print but a small per cent, of those actually received.
Sincere Testimony.
In presenting the testimonial of Admiral Hichborn we appreciate the high'
rank of our testifier.
We feel sure that his testimonial will appeal to others aa It does to us, that
nothing but a genuine wish to do others good would have Impelled a man in sneh
honorable rank to give public testimony to any remedy, however valuable.
The Admiral is altogether too busy a man to answer letters of Inquiry, but the
reader can rest assured that bis testimony is given In his exact words, over bis
signature.
Genuine Endorsements..
Our testimonials are and always have been given in the exact language of the
testifier, with which we take no liberties whatever in adding to or changing them.
In the nse of testimonials we have always received them properly signed, In
good faith, have published theml in good faith, and if there has arisen a slight
misunderstanding concerning them, it has been some unavoidable complication
occurring after the testimonial has been furnished us,

JIOOROO OF THE LARCHMONT.
The Larchmont has figured In a
lonrf lin of mlshups since she entered
the service of the Joy line, says a
New Vorlt dispatch. They began on
September 4, 1902, when the' Larch
mont was on fire In the Sound. Her
200 passengers were In a panic, but
the crew feuttht the fire successfully,
so that the steamboat reached New
York without casualties.
On January 24, 1904, the Larch
mont ran ashore off Prudence Inland.
Two week later she went aground
again In Narragansett . bay. There
were 150 passengers on board at the
time -ind they were thrown Into a
panic, its the vessel ran high and dry
