The question, "What is neces sary to make a town or commu nity thrive?" is of vital import ance and one often in the minds of the thinking citizens. Many things acrue to the benefit of a people. The most essential thing is a good pay roll. Without this there is no life, and of course without life the town is dead, so to srjeak. But how to sec ore a pay roll? ' y It is patent that the poor man the laborer cannot be expect ed to create a pay roll. So we must look to the rich or fairly well-to-do man for thisj creation. But there is the sticking point. Such a man is already independ ent in a sense" and is generally discreet enough to try and "make sure" before he invests in any business that will provide means of sustenance for any number of people. He must exercise good judgment in determining what is a proper business in which to en gage. Must consider the coun try, its products, and community needs. Having determined all this, he next gives attention to the tem per of his fellow men. Here his heart mav fail him, for few, if any, will "patronize home indus- .., :r u 1 - 1.1 y IX LUC 11U111C All a LI UldLLUlCU , article can be secured for a tew 1 1 1 r.urthermore, large corpora tions will flood the community wherein is situated this local in dustry with the wares of his man ufacture placed at so low a figure that he will in. all probability be ruined. But no sooner will he be - -driven from the field than this "Same corporation will raise the price to a much higher figure than the small manufacturer de manded. An i lustration of this is fiirnishad everv. dav in some part of the Union at present in - Kansas in the fight between that state and Mr. Rockefeller. : This sort ot thing is what is retarding the growth of Oregon, and of all, small towns, Corvallis among the rest. , And the people are .to blame. Never a week pass es that orders do not go from this city to some other place for some thing that could have been secur ed here. In purchasing at home you may pay out a tew cents more for a given thing, but your money is here. Its presence is necessaay to the lite of the place in which you reside. You look to your home town to supply you a living. ' The debt is not all on the side of the town you owe it something. In a degree the pos sibility of creating a pay roll is in your own hands, be you rich or poor. v: ed the constitution limited the salaries to be paid to the officers of the state so as to confine future generations within certain amounts in order not to involve the small number of people then in the state with expenses too great for them to meet. The constitu tion has carried us along within safe, conservative lines, and dur ing all of the time there has been abundant official material offered and seeking state positions. Yet for over thirty years many of the tax-eaters have viewed with con tempt the sacred provisions of the constitution and sought every op portunity to overstep its conserva tive financial provisions. If the governor does not veto the bill, suit should be brought to sustain and protect the constitution from infringement. HOW IS THIS? An offer to make you come up stairs and see us.

BUCKINGHAM, Agent. A dispatch from St. Peters burg, Russia, beui'ng date of Feb. 10, indicates that Russia must have peace at any cost. Notwithstanding the fact that she is the party suing for peace, Russia proceeds to outline terms that would be agreeable to her, as follows: "There is a greater probability of peace now than at any pre vious time. The ter ms of peace acceotable to Russia would, be the recession to China cf Man churia Xiao Tung peninsula and Port Arthur, with permission from China to lease these territor ies to Japan for 99 years. Russia to evacuate Manchuria but to re tain the island of Saghallen, Vladivostok and the province of Ussuri. No indemnity to be paid." Now, : what do yoa think of that! It seems possible, that the Mikado will 'have a voice in this matter, at least, everything points that way just now. The present willingness (?)of Russia to give up Port Arthur r the in dication of such a possibilityis ridiculous. No indemnity, Eh ! Wait and see. This being the second time Japan has reduced Port Arthur it is quite reasonable to suppose she will retain posses ion. - :-.."." - Clubbing Price!

Hencye FLAT SALARIES, , Our' governor is a trained and skillful lawyer. - During his ad ministration he has vetoed num erous measures for infringing up on the legislative construction of of the constitution of our . state; His action will be looked to with much interest , in relation-to his views concerning this bill which recently passed both houses of the legislature providing large in creased flat salaries to state offi cers over the limit prescribed by the constitution. ; There cannot beany doubt regarding the pror er construction to be given to the constitution upon., this subject , When Oregon was admitted as a ' state we bad . scarcely population enough to make a respectable sized county. There was much opposition and fear that financial The papers . of Washington county, the home of Dr. James Withycombe, are all in favor of Dr. y Withycombe for governor says the " Albany Herald, copy ing the following from the Forest Grove Times: "The politicians at Salem and Portland are all talking about the next republi can candidate for governor and mentioning several of their as sociates, as if they were the peo ple and they had a cinch on the places to be given out. But they should not forget tbat the new primary law is now in force aad that we country people are going to have something, to say about who is to be the nominee. And when the farmers and plain , peo pie make a choice it is more like' ly to be r: Withycombe, of the State Agricultural Station, than any politician who has vet been mentioned. J ust remember that.
