An exchange says a subscriber asked the origin of the phrase 4 'he isn't in it." It was first used by an editor who died, and went to heaven. He looked around for the man who took his paper for seven vears and then left it at the postoffice marked "refused," but "he was't in it". jfc Oregon will a good market for her meats and biead-stufis as soon as the war between Japan and Russia opens. The latter nation has already placed an order for 1,000,000 lbs of extra mess beef at Omaha, and the time for ship ment is about up. Oregon has the food to sell. Gentlemen of the Orient, send in your orders. jfc fc jfr The poultry show at Albany last week was well patronized and will be the same as heretofore, a factor in helping to build up the poultry industry of this part of the state. Two things are needed, ist more poultry; 2nd better poul try. The man who becomes in terested in better poultry will raise more of it. The man who raises more poultry will want better poul try. Let the poultry shows con tinue until every farmer raises nothing but thoroughbreds. Lebanon Criterion. How many Americans are there who can tell where the flag of the United States was first raised? A few weeks ago the spot where Washington unfurled the first American flag was marked by the dedication of a small park and an observatory on Prospect Hill, in Somerville, Massachu setts. This eminence occupied the same relation to Boston on the northwest that Bunker Hill occupied on the north, and next to that more tamous spot, was the stronghold of Washington's troops. We give this to the boys and eirls of the Corvallis schoolsas an extra lesson in his tory. j j jl Rnssia is nothing but a blamed old hog. She already owns and governs one-sixth of all the land of the world, yet she is not satis fled. All she wants now is the land that joins hers. Manchuria has 400,000 square miles, and she wants to colonize it Japan has less than 150,000 square miles not more than half of which is in habitable. Yet on this little patch she has nearly one-third the population of all Russia. Japan must have more room, and wishes to colonize Corea that is, to pursue exactly the same policy in that country that Russia wishes to do in Manchuria. Here is where the hog kicks. It is a turkey and buzzard case, but Russia says nothing but turkey. We hope Japan will get Corea. j j The Grand Army of the Re public are all in favor of the new Service Pension Bill, granting a pension of $12 per month, to all soldiers who served 90 days or over, simply because of their ser vice. It is iairer than the pres ent practice of passing special bills for the relief of individual soldiers whose claims have been rejected by the Pension Bureau. The advocates say : 4 'Let us give all these worthy veterans a ser vice pension instead of passing a batch ot special "pension bills every session - for relief of indi vidual soldiers, who know enough to ask relief and whose congress man is influential enough to ob tain for them relief." At the present time it looks very much as if the bill would go through. The bill also provides for a pen sion for widows, who were mar ried prior to June 27, 1S90, and to minor children. We hope to see every one of the Pacific Coast congressmen supporting this bill, and that it will soon become a ktw. j j J The Yellow Terror in the Ori ent is a mere nothing compared to the " Yellow" terror which hangs like a pall over the Na tional Democratic party. It is the bugbear that will not down the phamtom that refuses to be aid. it is wz aeaaiy iear pnac William Randolph Hearst will secure the democratic "nomina tion for president. And they are all waiting for a" providential dis pensation that will relieve Ihem. This recalls a story of Hearst and Tom Fitch that is not generally known. Some few years ago, Fitch and Hearst were standing together near the property owned by the latter, on the corner oi Third and Market Sts.,, San Francisco.. It had been the an nounced intention of Hearst to put up a building oh that corner that would overtop the Chronicle and Call, buildings opposite. Says Tom: -"Well, Willie! when do you start on your new build ing?" 4 4 We have abandoned the idea Mr. Fitch," says Hearst. "I am so sorry" says Fitch, 4 'I did hope you would put up a building higher than the Chron icle. I wanted to see the three newspaper structures all clustered here together. And then Willie, I did hope, I did so hope, that God, in his merciful kindness would send an earthquake where it would do the most good." jfc There is a bill introduced in Congress by the Hon. Walter P. Brownlow of Tennessee, and the Hon. Jacob H. Gallinger, mem ber of the Senate from New Hampshire, appropriating $24,- 000,000 on the part of the Na tional Government as national aid in building wagon roads. This money is to be apportioned among the States according to Hi err population, except that no State shall receive.less than $250,- 000. Oregons share will be $250,000; Each State receiving National aid from the Govern ment must add a like amount to the sum received. This will, therefore cause the spending of $48 000,000 for roads and will build from 6,000 to 7,000 miless of MEN'S CLOTHING All $16.50, 17.50, 18, 20 and 22 50 Suits and overcoats for $15.00 All $13.00, 14.00 and 15 suits and overcoats for 12.50 All $10.50, 11.00, 12.00 and 12.50 suits and overcoats 10.00 All $8.00, 8 50, 9.00, 9 50 and 10.00 suits and overcoats 7.50 All $7.50 suits and overcoats 6.50 20 per cent reduction on all boys' suits and overcoats and men's ex tra pants.

It will be a great advantage to those living near it, but it will be a far greater advantage to the whole country because it will be a wonderful ob ject lesson and will prove to everyone that a good, hard road which can be used the year round no matter what the rains are, is a good and desirable thing; it will make everyone who sees this road and who uses it want more roads just like it, and it will cause more roads just like it to be built. While under the Brownlow Bill the building of 6,000 to 7000 miles of splendid road is a great thing, yet it seems to many that the greatest advan tage ot this bill is the wonderful object lesson which 100 to 500 miles of fine road will produce when built in every State of the Union.
