If a Jail sentence of from 10 to 30 days Is liot sufficient to Insure law observance, the people will perhaps make it year when they are forced to modify the law.

The Commercial Xational bank of Chicago has just issued its annual bulletin on the crop and business condition of the country and in that statement Oregon occupies a con spicuous place among the list or "well-to-do" states. Oregon was Injured perhaps less by the flurry of last fall than any other western state and today there are no viclble scars left from the alleged panic which shook the foundation of eastern financial institutions. The report on Oregon is as follows: Bank deposits are not materially less than at the same time last year, with about the same demand for loans except In the sheep-raising sec tions of the state, where the demand is frreater, owing to the decrease In the price of wool. What little com mercial paper was bought by Oregon banks proved satisfactory during the trouble last fall. As for the smaller banks the usual time for buying be ing after October, there was little fall ing due in that month. One of our correspondents reports that at the present time they are car rying a quarter of their loans in com mercial paper, the larger portion of which will be due In time to provide ample means for moving the crops. Currency shipments for crop-moving purposes are small and will be sup plied almost exclusively from Port land. There is practically no demand for money to be used In moving crops. There appears to be little interest in the formation of a currency asso' elation by the larger banks of the state under the new currency law and it will be Impossible to form one without them. As to general business conditions while the volume Is somewhat less than last year, prospects are very bright and business is generally good, showing a slow but steady Increase. Merchants' collections are fair to eood and trade has fallen off less than 10 per cent In comparison with last year. As Is the case with Washington, lumbering Is the largest single indus try and has been seriously affected by the recent panic. Prices, however, are firmer and prospects are some what better. Some of the men thrown out of work by the closing of the saw mills have left the stated and the bal ance are employed in the fields. In spite of this, in some agricultural communities there Is a scarcity of la bor. Building, as a whole, shows an in crease over previous years, and farm and fruit lands seems to be advancing In price. One of our correspondents In Portland reports that cTty real es tate Is active. As usual In election years, there Is some uneasiness over the political sit uation, as the wool Industry would probably be affected by any change In the tariff. The opinion appears to be unani mous that the outlook Is quite favor tble, and as a lot of new territory will be opened up by the completion of the North Bank railroad and the rail road to Ix-wiston, Idaho, there ap pears to be foundation for this belief. WILL ANYBODY RESIGN? The Oregon Dally Journal says of. the subject of Statement No. 1 re publicans resigning from the legtsla- who later died expatriated in Eng land, loathed alike by Englishmen and Americans. , A resignation or other subterfuge for defeat of that which a majority of the voters have ordained shall be, is as treacherous as to enter the leg islature and vote against the candi date selected by the people. That course, pronounced as proper by Mr. Geer, who once stood In the legislature and called upon republi can legislators to vote for him after he had received the party vote under the Mays law, is a henlous offense against decent citizenship, with mon umental Inconsistency added. Coming from a man of Mr. Geer's intelligence, there is no charitable view to take of it, nor possibly of condoning It. It Is folly only equaled by Mr. Geer's proposition to have statement Xo. 1 the subject of a vote in November, a suggestion that be cause of its weirdness could come from no other man In the state than Mr. Geer. Three times the people have voted on statement No. 1 within a few months. They voted In April at the primaries, and the verdict was pro nounced for it. They voted again in June on the subject, and it was not only for the statement, but to make It compulsory, and that by an over whelming verdict. To have a vote on it in November would be quite as nonsensical as to have the people of Umatilla vote again on whether Mr. Geer or Mr. Ellis should go to congress. HISTORY OF THE COLUMBIA. Every lover of the west will await with pleasure the coming of Prof. W. D. Lyman's history of the great Co. lumbia river, the river highway, the gateway of the inland empire. Picturesque, rich in history, gar landed with natural scenery, unsur passed In the world, environed with romance, pathos, tragedy, a theme for poets, an Inspiration for the ora tor and author, the Columbia river Is the richest treasure of the west, and one of the most interesting rivers of the world. Along its banks one of the great struggles with savagery that has been recorded anywhere was fought for forty years. If It could tell of the tragedies that It has looked upon, if It could speak the prayers of dy ing men, murdered In the Inhospitable wild before civilization came. If It could tell the heart-breaking anguish of pioneer mothers who followed Its course with their little broods, through savagery and peril, If It could recount the lone battles that have been fought with barbarism along its entire length, what a thrill ing chapter it could write In human history! Rut Prof. Lyman will catch a glimpse of this vital history in his coming work, and although he may give a more prominent place to the history of navigation and attempted navigation of the Columbia, yet through the warp and woof of his story will run the golden thread of romance and human Interest. THE LAW WILL PREVAIL. In spite of the constant tearing down by a few men, the law will pre vail. The world Is against the law breaker. Society Is not on the side of the criminal, no matter for his boasts. The prohibition law which has been enacted by the people of about 20 counties In Oregon will prevail; There are not enough lawbreakers to over balance the law lovers. The sover eign people who enacted this law, can enact one still more stringent and make It still more dangerous for men to violate It. And It is so with every right move ment in human history. There may be obstacles; there may be men who are willing to tear down society; there may be criminals who boast of throwing off the yoke of restraint and there may be men who will attempt to debauch and corrupt and demor alize the force of the law, but going sented at this event this year, as Free- water has made excellent arrange ments for the day and a good time will be assured.

A little gold amidst the gray That's sunshine; A little brightness on the way That's sunshine; A little spreading of the blue, A little widening of the view, A little heaven breaking through That's sunshine. A little looking for the light That's sunshine; A little patience through the night That's sunshine; A little bowing of the will, A little resting on the hill A little standing very still That's sunshine. A little smiling through the tears That's sunshine; A little faith behind the fear That's sunshine; A little folding of the hands, A little yielding of demands, A little grace to understand That's sunshine! A CURE FOR few j iv 3 nyc y , i nr i cz ka Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, which is carried through the circulation to all portions of the system, lvvery muscle, nerve, bone nd joint absorbs the acrid, pain-producing poison, causing aches, inflammation, stiffness nnd other well known symptoms of the disease. Permanent relief from the pains nnd discomfort of Rheumatism cannot be expected from the use of liniments, plasters, and other external treatment which does not reach the blood, where the catise is located. Such measures give temporary relief, but in order to cure Rheumatism the uric ncid and inflammatory poison must be expelled from the Mood. S. S.

When twilight comes, And all the fluffy, twittering birds are cuddled In their homes, I wonder If the cuckoo's child Feels strange among the rest, And longs for her own mother's wing In her own mother's nest. When midnight falls Upon the glooming branches which ' flank the forest walls, I think the baby owl who tries To flutter helpless wings Must tremble at those other nests so filled with sleeping things. When morning breaks And all the -radiant summer world of tree and hilltop wakes, I know that where the tiny roads Peneath the grass-roots run, A little eyeless mole Is sick with longing for the sun. Pemberton Ginther In Llpplncott's. EYES-AND THEIR MEANING. in. Wide open eyes are said to be dlcative of rashness. Side-glancing eyes are always to be distrusted. The downcast eye has In all ages been typical of modesty. The proper distance between th eyes Is the width of one eye. People of melancholy temperament rarely have clear blue eyes. Eyes with' long sharp corners Indi cate great discernment and penetra tion. The white of the eye showing be. neath the Iris Is Indicative or nobil ity of character. When the upper lid covers half o: more of the pupil the Indication Is of cool deliberation. Gray eyes turning green In anger or excitement are Indicative of a choleric temperament. An eye the upper lid of which passes horizontally across the pupil Indicates mental ability. Unsteady eyes, rapidly jerking from side to side, are frequently Indicative of an unsettled mind. Eyes that are wide apart are said by physiognomists to Indate great Intelligence and a tenacious memory. Eyes placed close together In the head are said to Indicate pettiness of disposition, jealousy and a turn for faultfinding. Wide open, staring eyes tn weak countenances Indicate Jealousy, bigot ry Intolerance and pertinacity with out any firmness. When the under arch of the upper eyelid Is a perfect semicircle It Is Indicative of goodness, but also of timlty, sometimes approaching cow ardlce. Dundee Advertiser. AX ESTIMATE OF T. T. GEER. T. T. Geer, who the people of Ore gon honored by electing him gover nor of this state. Is now advising the statement No. 1 republican members of the legislature to dishonor them selves and flaunt the people who elected them, by either refusing to vote for the people's choice for Unit ed States senator, or resign. Geer Is like the "friend" appealed to by the despondent man and whose ndvlce was to put his property In his wife's name and thus prevent the collection of honest debts or to commit suicide. Wallowa News-Record (Rep.) LIpton's attempts to "lift the cup" have been emphasized. In a negative way, by the results of the Olympic games. This 1s not crowing. It 1 simply the echo of Great Britain's megaphone sigh, "What's the Use?" Probably all men are liars but don't give them specific information on the subject. The largest and . most wonderful building In the world Is the termlna! building of the Hudson and Manhat tan Railway company In New York. t Is 22 stories high, covers 75.000 square feet on the ground and In eludes 18,150,000 square feet of floor space, equivalent to 27 acres. There are 4200 rooms In the build ing, with more than 6000 window and 5200 doors, of which 3000 have panels of ground glass. Sixteen million bricks, 75.000,000 pounds of concrete and 25.000 tons of steel have been consumed In Its construction. Nearly 125 miles of picture rail was tacked on the walls of the rooms, 113 miles of electric wiring was laid and 30,000 electric light bulbs placed on 6000 electroliers and 7000 brackets, and even these fig ures will be enlarged. There are 16 miles of plumbing, 29 miles of steam heating pipe and 95 miles of conduit. There are 39 ele ctors, and one round trip In all of them from the lowest basement to he top story represents a "Journey of 34 miles. It Is estimated that 10.000 persons will be lodged under the roof when every office Is taken, and that aver half a million people will enter it every day. The force of employes, In eluding engineers, firemen, electri cians, elevator boys and Janitors, will number 150. Technical World. BABYLON.
