AAa4sAsfrseae of the railroads are reporting large declines in gross earnings, which they are seeking to offset by rigid, econo- mles ln every direction. In the textile trades dullnes still prevails. Many cotton mills are suffering a diminution of profits owing to high cost of pro duction, as well as to the Impossi bility of securing satisfactory prices for their product. Consumers are economizing, while distributors seem tent on carrying light stocks and con fining their operations to those of a hand-to-mouth character. The bright est element in the business outlook is the crop situation. All advices re ceived concerning wheat and cotton are of a very satisfactory nature. Acreage is large, condition of the soil good and plants generally are promis ing." As far as the tariff is concerned there is no reason why it should be a disturber of business. If this coun try had a tariff commission and made changes in the tariff on a businesslike basis giving ample notice In ad vance to both producer and consum er no trouble would result. But peo ple may be pardoned for moving cautiously when the making of tariff schedules is placed in the hands of men who are moving more with an eye to political advantages rather than to the commercial and Industrial wel fare of the country. A BIG DECISION. That was a sweeping decision ren dered by JuJge Wolverton in the Southern Pacific land grant case. The case Is remarkable for the vast am ount of property at stake and because of the issues involved. The main point involved has to do with whether or not a great corporation to which land has been granted by the govern ment for certain purposes must abide by the terms of the grant. The Southern Pacific was given 2.500,000 acres of land in western Oregon on condition that the land be sold to settlers at prices not to exceed $2.50 per acre. The land was sold for higher prices and so the government brought suit to recover ttle to the land. Judge Wolverton sustains the government's suit at every point and SOMEBODY DID IT. When the building of the Los An geles Times was dynamited the whole country was horrified. Scores of in nocent people were killed in that damnable outrage and the deed ac complished no good. The crime worked rave injury to the cause of (tganized labor for the natural In ference drawn was that labor union ists had done the work. If the men who committed the deed or who are responsible for the crime have been caught then the law has nc punishment too severe for them. Whether or not the McXamaras are guilty is a matter for a court and a jury to determine. Press reports in dicate there is damaging evidence against them and it is also apparent that the two men will have ample finds anl ample legal talent for their defence. It Is only to he hoped now tl'at when the trial is held the guilt or the innocence of the men will be thoroughly proven so there can be no question about the' matter Outrages like the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times constitute an archy in the worst form and there is no reason for anarchy in this republic. flakes Home Baking Easy 0, 111 PfKTKInl quite a "shaver," to use! Mr. Weeks' words, his parents moved to New Tork, and it was in th;" public schools of that city that he was ed ucated. Weeks graduated from the College of the City of New York, then he took a post graduate course in law at Columbia Unulversity. He has been prominently identified with- many prominent patriotic and athletic as sociations in the country. He has been commander-in-chief of the Sons of Veterans of the United States and president of the National Amateur Athletic Union. Col. Weeks is prominent in the councils of the democratic party. In 1898 he was candidate for state sena tor of the democratic ticket, but was defeated. Col. Weeks is also one of the most prominent lawyers in tho country. He is not regarded strictly as a corporation lawyer, but much of his work has been done for the great firms of the country which are re garded as influential corporations at leasf. Col. Weeks Is a man of rather com manding appearance, although he does not measure up to the physical proportions that one would expect under the circumstances. Perhaps there is no man in the country who has done more for amateur athletics than he has done.

The capital versus labor fight clear from the published reports of the decision. It may be taken for granted however that the rights of purchasers will be fully respected. Since the gTant required the railroad company to sell the land at J2.50 per acre it would seem that purchasers are now entitled to the difference be tween the sum of $2.50 per acre and the prices they paid the company for the land.

THE American National Bonk Pendleton, Oregon UNITED STATES DEPOSITORY WIIKRK TKOl'Iil.E ARISES. ! The evil consequences that follow j the praciice of making the tariff a ! political issue are shown to an extent in the present business situation. "The volume of trade is less than a year ago and many enterprises are ! b-M in s-jsprn.se pending more favor-abb- general conditions says Henry! Clews, the financial critic. Uncer- taiirfy regarding the supreme court decisions and the tariff are largely re- ' sponsible for this state of affairs. Concerning the tariff there Is perhaps more apprehension than is warrant ed. The three schedules most likely to be effected cotton wool and steel have not yet been attacked, and both parties show a disposition to handle thern cautiously, if not to post pone action altogether until the next I'rcsidciHial campaign. The tariff, it must be remembered, always furnish es exceptional material for political agitation, and practical politicians may easily consider It good tactics to put public opinion to sleep by effect ing modetate changes at this session of Congress and taking up the tariff question more earnestly after the sen timent of the country has been tested by another national election. Present Indications point to this congress alt ting well into the summer. In the steel trade relatively few orders are being received for the reason that big buyers are economizing and deferring Sarsaparilla By virtue of its unequaled bl ood-pu r i r y : n . nc rrc-s tength ening, stomach-toning, appetite-restoring properties, is the one Great Spring Medicine.
