FRIDAY, OCT. 13, 1899. of FOR THE SENATE.: Upon the next - legislature of our state will devolve the duty of elect ing our United States Senator. ' For many reasons this will be for Ore gon, one of its most important pub- - lift QTonfa 'FVia V..Vnnt?n.-t. lltnf will come before the next few ees sions of congress will- equal weight and magnitude anything that has come before ; that body since the days of the early '60s, The election at which members our state legislature will be chosen occurs next June and it is none too early to discuss possible and eligi ble candidates for national senator. Oregon is proverbially slow .".to take advantage of changed condition but the recent and radical changes that have come upon us with the advent of our national develop meat in the Pacific ocean demand mat uregpn snail take a promi nent Btand upon the various ques tions that will arise in the nation's councils. Oregon must be in the front rank of Pacific coast states in all that pertains to the develop ment of Pacific and t transpacific civilization and commerce. The first and most important step look ing to this end is th& election of an able, vigorous man .to . the senate, If Oregon is to take and keep the place she is entitled to hold in the - councils of the nation, and especial ly in so far as they relate to to Pa- viuv waov JuaibdSj bliuu DUO iiiUOv send a strong man to the nation's council chamber. - Among those who have been mentioned as possi ble candidates is Mr. H. W. Scott and of him it "can certainly be said he is an able and strong man. Tim TTvrnw.fi A oriiy ior announcing; Mr. ecatt s as candidate, it does not know that he would be a candidate in fact, he has said he would not be, bui his name has been frequently, mention ed pflate as that of one who could ably, vigorously and creditably rep resent this. - state in the United States senate. The great ' question coming up for settlement before the councils of the nation, and which must be settled within the next two or three vearo, are the money ques tion and on this issue Mr- Scott fitted to represent the views of his states then there is the Nicaragua canal; a form of government for Alaska; the Hawaiian islands; the hum: : ;ij. 1 jji - i uuippmc uuauus, auuuur ranuiy growing trade relations with China and the Orient. On all these ques tions Mr. Scott has a profound knowledge and the gift to " impart it, and those who know him do not doubt that he would be heard and felt as a state legistator. ' , " . . For thirty-five years Mr. Scott has fearlessly discussed publio men and politics and there are few - men that could have managed this sorry thankless task and stood the test of public opinion as well as he has. He has been a power, yes in many instances his pen through the col ums of the great paper he has edit ed, has been the power that has spoken for Oregon's development. But it is not for this service that he is entitled to be considered a senat orial candidate; it is because of his peculiar fitness, his vigor, strength, and knowledge of our na tional and state needs that makes him an especially eligible person for this place at this time. - . There are other, candidates that will come in for consideration later, but suffice it to say at this time, that in Mr. Scott Oregon would have a senator in whose ability and power she could well take pride. F. L. Miller TREASURY KEEPING EVEM. So far during the 'present fiscal year the revenue keeps a - little ahead of the ezpenditures. At the end of the first quarter a surplus of about $2,000,000 is shown. Ra ceipts for the quarter have increas ed $17,000,000 over the same period last year. The expenditures have fallen off $45,000,000- Customs are yielding from $000,000 to $1,000,000 a Jay. -Both show an aggregate train for the month of $5,000,000 over last year during the month of September. The war depaitrrent is spending an average of $12,500 000 a month and the Navy depart ment $5,000,000. Last month's statement of gold in the treasury was 9xU,uuvs,vaas. j. lie ucjjteuiuci figures are $254,000,000. This is a remarkably fine showing. The army has been increased from 27 000 to 100,000.

And yet the government is more than paying expenses. , When the treaty was under ais- eussion several senawio that it would plunge the country enormously in debt. Senator oar urged this view.' Senator Caffery was especially . explicit. He esti mated that the cost of holding the Philippines would b& $221,151,000 a year, more ; than the present entire expenditure on the army and navy, and we should not disband either if the islands were surrender ed.. Senator Caffery declared that "our imperial budget for the year ending June 30, 1900, even as stat ed by Secretary Gage, is appalling enough. But I am confident that he underestimates the expenditures of that year if the imperial policy is to be carried out.'' Well, the end of the first quarter of that year is at hand, and there is a surplus of $2,000,000. Secretay Gage's esti- timate runs over, not under. "A vast deal of foolishness was talked by senators who fought the ,. treaty. Thei prredictions and their figures are on a par with their patriotism Globe Democrat. COLLEGE FINANCIAL REPORT.

There is not a farmer in Oregon who has been bothered with the weed, but who is interested in the destruction of wild mustard. This is a most notorious weed and does a great deal of damage to the farms in the Willamette valley. This plant flourishes in the surrounding country where the condition of the soil is suitable for its growth, and any remedy that will serve to destroy the weed will be most gratefully received by the far mer.' It is known to be a fact that the plant will not grow only in those places where the soil is in the right condition, or where "the composition of the soil is such as to nourish the plant Iu the face of this fact it can be easily seen that if the condition ef the soil be changed, the plant will not grow therein. An experimenter by the - name . of Doughtery has fonnd a solution, that when applied to the soil will destroy the mustard but at the same time will bave no effect upon the wheat or other grow ing grain that may be upon the field. The solution discovered by Mr Dongh- tery consists of a four-per-cent solut ion of copper snlphate, : or four pounds of copper sulphate to ten gallons of wate r, the solution to be sprayed over the infect ed fields. In regard to the " experiment, Mr. Doughtery says : "According to my experimental notes the mustard sprayed on. Jnne 24th was dead on June 28th, and there was no ap parent injury to the croo. As regards the effect upon the crop I may say that the sprayed oats headed out about three or four days later than the unsprayed, and are from four to six inches longer in the straw. "I expect to find in all cases an increas ed yield. This I attribute to the extra amount of food available for the owing to the de atb of the mustard. crop 17 A (o Dyspepsia Cure.
