It is amazing Ui.t so old and experienced a soldier as General Miles should place himself in such a predicament as must ex pose him to just and prompt rep rimand. It is matter for congratulation ? that the army has a commander-in-chief intelligent and courage ojs enough to administer its dis ciplinary regulations even though the msjor general commanding it be the offender. General Miles has been a brave soldier whose merit has been rec ognized and amply rewarded. So was Iiscom who fell at Tien Tsin and Lawtou who feu in the Philippines; so are Ludlow, Wood, Green, Chaffee and Young. Some of these, like Miles are not West Pointers, but are men who came up from the ranks of volunteer regiments through the most gallant and he roic conduct in the campaigns of the civil war, and subsequent rugged service. For service and murage and knowledge of the art and science of war they are not overshadowed by the greater merit of General Miles. It is altogether probable that none of these would ever so heed lessly expose himself to the merited rebuke of a superior as Miles has done. Had they done so there can be little doubt the Major General commanding the army would have administered it,, for he has ever been a stickler for discipline. This makes his own infraction the more difficult to understand. There has been more than a suspicion that Miles is inordi nately vain and quite ambitious. He is flattered by the aristocratic society of the country. He is a 4 'society lion" in Washington and New York. Mrs. Grundy everywhere never tires of patting him on the back, and chattering in his laudation. 1 his answers the question, "Upon what meat doth this, our Ceasar feed that he hath grown so great!" The flat teries of society have quite spoiled him. This incident, humiliating as it must be to him, will do him the kindly office of recalling him to his official senses, and may quiet a tongue too prone to promiscuous wagging. ; The people will appreciate the stronff hand of the Commander- in-Chief. Time to Act. Levi Conner, a farmer near Dallas, Polk county, was recently robbed of 000. He had deposited the money in his barn, but the thief found it. Hold cos and robberies in and about Salem And Portland are of daily occurrence, While officials are on the salary system there is no incentive for them to look up criminals and, in fact, the incentive is the . other way, because the danger to person and the expense in hunting crim inals reduce the salary and consume time. While officers received their pay in fees there was a strong disposition to arrest criminals and bring them to jus tice. In those days unless they obtained fee's their income was short. There is an other danger under the salary system that when the officers get fat salaries an occasional one, and sometimes the police officers of a whole town or county, be come anxious to increase their pay over the amount of their salary, and in order to do so, it has been claimed that the criminal, and robber and hold-up class became on very familiar business terms with the officials. The Portland police and detective forca have been'.kuown to catch a mur derer when some woman forced the in formation on them, but the robber or hold-up class they seldom ever find time to catch. It was said some days ago that Portland- people could do anything they undertook. This, however, referred to the subscription of stock for the Lew is and Clark celebration. Portland people could perforin many other things as well. Country people often wonder why Port land's best class of citizens don't organize to banish the robber, hold-up and murder class from their community. If people having the administration of the laws will not attend to it, the well meaning people by organization to ac complish those results can readily do so if they proceed on proper lines, Any thing outside of law and order is to be deprecated, and still there are times when a community becomes so congested that it is proper to bring about order at all hazard, and get to the conditions of law and orderas soon thereafter as pos sible. There are -many people, who are fearful of trusting themselves to go to Portland except they are compelled to go strictly oa business and this fear will remain well grounded nntil Portland's better class of people organize to bring about order. The attractions of the criminal class to Portland with little or DO fear of being apprehended, permits them to scatter turouguout tne state. Ha nous is it necoming map oiner parts oi ths state are becoming interested in the arobiem. Whatever disturbs the quietude of Portland readies out in some measure to other portions of the state. At tliis par ticular time, interest in the affairs of Portland must be more inteuse than at former periods, because in the celebra tion to come off at Portland in 1905 evpry citizen of Oregon will necessarily have a just pride in the siu'tesi of that enterprise, and in order to contribute to its success nothing can ilo more than Or the whole world to lie made to under stand that the people or Portland control the methods of quickly apprehending and punishing the criminal classes who destroy life, rob and plunder. It is nof now too late, but it is yet time and very necessa'y that Portland's good citizens organize in the very strongest possible way to stamp out the irregu.airties jind dangers mentioned. Lare numbers of people are not going to rush to any place if they understand that robberies, hold-ups and murders are committed daily aud-without arousiug an indignant public to prompt action and punishment of the offenders. Another Barge. Aent Thayer .was informed that the steamer Modoc left Port land vesterday morning with a large barge jn tow. She is ex pected to arrive this morning. Everything that can possibly aid in the work of raising the Ruth will be brought along. A diver's suit will be brought up so that in case it is necessary a diver can be sent down to in vestigate the state of affairs un derneath the Ruth and possibly assist in placing chains beneath her to be used in hoisting. It is declared that when this large scow arrives they will be able to either raise her or pull her in two. There has been much specula tion in the minds of a ttreat many as to what the Ruth cost. A party of men were guessing at her cost a few days ago. There was a wide difference in the 'landsmen's" guesses. They ranged from $3,000 to $110. 000 It is a matter 01 truth that those who proved to be widest of the fact regarding the cost ot the boat were the most positive that they were right. The Ruth cost $24.. 100. She was v fitted with the very best machinery for a boat of her discri tion Her boilers had stood a cold water test of 450 pounds press ure. She was a splendid boat in many wavs and was a favorite along the river. It is sincerely hoped that she can be saved. No. 4301.

"I procured a box and was entirety cured. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is a splendid cure for piles, giving relief in Btantly. hud I heartily recommend It to all sufferers."
