A correspondent asks for an out line of the causes which led up to conflict between the English and the Boers, unbiased and to the point. The following from a re cent issue of the St. Louis Globe Democrat, is the most concise and reliable summary of the situation - that we have seen in print: As the world well knows, there has been constant friction between the Boers and the English fo. many, years. The recent develop ment of Africa has made it more acute and the war at hand must de cide whether South Africa is to be composed of small independent states, possibly confederated, or must accept the preponderant in fluence of the British Empire. Be yond doubt England would be will ing to give South Africa the status of Canada or Australia, but to ac cept this would be regarded by the Boers as the surrender of a national existence. Historically, the , rela t.ons of the Boers and the British have , been . unusually complex. Many years ago, before the colony of Natal was annexed by . Great Britain, the Boers migrated to the wilderness and set up for them selves. Great Britain acknowl edged their independence in 1852, but annexed them in 1877, a pro ceeding the Boers ; resisted I with arms and with "partial success. In 1884 the British Government ac- j knowledged the right of the Trans vaal Republic to govern itself in everything except its treaties with foreign powers. The situation was disturbed by a new train of events. The great discovery of gold in the Witwaterstrand, Boer ; territory, caused a. heavy immigration of white men, chiefly British, called by the Boers "Uitlanders." But -for this unexpected access of popula tion, and the question relating t it politically, there would be no war at thi3 time, though probably it would have come later, for their is little congeniality between Boer and Briton. ' Hostilities have not been caused by any question about foreign treaties. The British contend that they are simply protecting the rights of British citizens oppressed by Boer laws and exceptionally heavy disabilities. The Boer legis lature is a close corporation. In the 1 upper house members, are chosen exclusively by the families of original ; settlers. The lower chamber is elected by qualified voters, but no Uitlander can vote unless 30 years old, a Protestant, a resident of the republic- for a long term of years, a naturalized citizen and an owner of landed property. The : voting qualifica tions in 1891 were varied so that the consent of the burghers in a ward was necessary. : Plainly, the Boers have aimed to exclude new voters. The gold mines are taxed 2-J per tent., but the miners have bean practically shut out of the legislature. - In recent negotiations the Boers offered to modify the qualifications of voters, but boldly coupled this with the demand that that there should be no further , claim of British suzerainty."; To all appearance this is a claim of complete national independence. The Boers have gone to war to end all British authority for themselves and for other Afrikanders who will join with them ; to make South Africa Boer instead of British. . In the larger sense this is the question at stake. At the end of the present struggle British author ity will be supreme over South Africa or the Afrikanders will con trol it through a confederation speaking the Dutch language and asserting a distinct sovereignty in the company of nations. So far as oppression is concerned the Uit landers assert that ; they are the only sufferers. It is perhaps un fortunate for the Boers that they once stormed a British position, taking it brilliantly and killing Beveral hundred of its defenders. They are imprudent to measure their proweBS by" that one battle. But in any case the war they have entered into will decide the ques- tion of suzerainty which is at best an indistinct and " unsatisfactory word. ' The Boer have undertaken to discard it altogether, and the only way to do it is to fight." But it is a desperate venture in view of the odds. So far as thirst for em pire and gold is concerned one aide has no greater incentive than th other. Success would give the Boers unrestricted dominion over the gold mines and substantially over South' Africa. If they . lose F. L. Miller Umbrellas For Ladies and Gentlemen.

Miller. they will be British colonials, and the Canadians and Australians are raising - troops to force that fellow ship upon them, or rather to yindi- cate the idea that it has always existed to some extent. ' The Boers deny it." The problem is tangled. A recent copy of the London Daily Telegraph, for which we are indebted to Mr. R. Fisher, states that wheat prices have risen per ceptibly in England. : The advance is attributed to the war scare and and the comparative ' scarcity of grain. A large number of farmers have decided fo hold their stocks believing that there will be a sub stantial rise owing to hostilities in the Transvaal. Consequently there is, tor this period of the year, an unusually small quantity of wheat offering. The same paper speaking of the crop failure in Russia, says: The yield of the winter and spring wheat crop in Russia is estimated at nearly 661,000,000 . poods below the amount produced from anr average harvest. - Dewey, like Hobson, has been brought under the ban by woman. Poor Hobson, despite "his heroism and fidelity, was a "gibbering idiot" because he Bucked the honey from rosebud lips, , and now those who erstwhile have proclaimad Dewey the greatest living American, style him a "fool of old fools" because, forsooth, he would take unto him self a wife. Woodb ridge CSeary. Mb. Editor: In common with the people of Corvallis and the friends of the State Agricultural College I mourn the death of Cap tain Geary, and feel deeply his loss to tke community and to the college. When Captain Geary was assigned as instructor of military tactics at the college and arrived in our city, I sought and made his acquaint ance, l nad Known ms lamer weu, and his uncle by reputation,' for years, as I was a resident of Cali fornia when he was mayor of San Prancieco. His father, Rev. Edward Geary ,had been very kind to me,and when a number of years ago I lost a son and my heart was burdened with grief such as only those can know who have passed through this "valley of the shadow of death," Dr. Geary came to my home to console me and my wife, and after talking to us like a father, we all got down on our. knees together and he praye for us, and his prayer and words of sympathy,: consola tion and hope were a healing balm to our broken and bruised souls in that hour of deep distress. The uncle, John W. Geary, was the bravest of the brave; and was pro moted to be a major-general dur ing the civil war. " It is said of him that while riding in great haste across a battlefield in which he was leading a charge, the feet of his horse struck the body of a dead soldier, he reined up his horse and dismounting found that it was his. own son.;, He took him in his arms pressed1 him to his heart and lail him down and pressed on to his post of duty.;- Such was the material of the ancestry pf Captain Geary, and he was a worthy de scendant of this -noble ancestry, Quiet and unassuming in h his actions, he was as reticent as Grant, and belonged to- that class of men whose actions speak louder than words, and of whom it may be said, as Caius Marius said of himself to -tV I f Everybody's Wants Supplied It will be time well spent if you will call and ex amine the New Goods that daily arrive at our , store. The difficult part with us is, not what to announce, but how to do justice to all lines. CLOTHING DEPARTMENT. , We want to show you our Men's " and Boys' stylish clothing for Fall ! and Winter wear.

They range from $18 to $25. - F. L. Miller. the Roman senate, "I come not to you with eloquent words, you speak well of great actions; but I have done the deeds which so exalt the Roman name." ! ' Oregon weeps over her sonr. slain in battle and dying in the service of their country, and among all those who gave up their lives for the government and in defense of our flag, none were braver or truer than he whom we mourn today, j In all the heartfelt rejoicing "over the return, of our brave . boys from the Philippines, and the universal pride that they had won honor for themselves and imperishable re nown for our own great sta'.e of Oregon, placing her in the front rank of the older states of the Union for bravery, patriotism and loyalty to the flag, there was a strain of sorrow for the brave boys who did not return, aud now another name is added to the list of those who will live in the affec tions of the people of the whole state as long as the "beautiful Wil lamette" shall glide along between Benton and Linn murmuring a requiem to their sons whose famil iar faces will never be seen on her banks again. Captain Geary was a native of Oregon, born and raisel in Linn county, just across the Willamette river from our city. : Benton " and Linn counties and the State Agri cultural College feel a special in terest '. in their sons and students in the part taken by them in de fense of that flag from angel hands to valor given. "Our dead soldiers have left memories to be cherished and names to be recorded high on the roll of honor; and though our hearts may . ache at the separation, we have reason to feel proud when our loved ones have so lived and died as to place their names among the honorable of the earth. Every life given up for the flag makes it dearer to every patri-. otic heart. ; To every pa 'sing breeze upon which it floats, it whispers a requiem for the hundredsof thous ands who have died in its defense. It is alive with glorious memories. It is associated with Oregon's heroic dead? Our fallen ones will not be forgotten." And when our great stale monument rises to its full height 'to meet the sun in his com ing" and bearing on its sides the names of Oregon's fallen heroes, none will shine brighter or with more luster than that of Wood bridge Geary.
